1

00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,920
to date, you know, kind of speel on what has

6
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,920
been going on in heavy music for the last seven

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,399
days or so. It is April. It is the first

8
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,399
time we are recording this year in basically daylight, so

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,920
I guess that means it's basically summer spring it these Yeah,

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,320
there we go. My name is paren Haish Sam digon

11
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:02,759
Is so you can hear there. Sam. As your week been,

12
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:05,280
you've been listening to more Imperio Triumphant, I trust.

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's clicked.

14
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Its genuinely like gold Star was the sort of like thing,

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,319
Like again, I don't like Alpha as much as gold Star,

16
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,799
but I was like, no, this is this is good.

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,519
I mean, like yeah, outside of that, it's a sad day.

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,560
Tomorrow is a very sad day. Yeah, more on that

19
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,680
next week. But the emotions have been building up inside

20
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:28,879
me over having to say goodbye tomorrow.

21
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:31,439
Speaker 2: Well, today is this podcast goes.

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,519
Speaker 1: I don't say if that banded Imperio Triumphant, who was

23
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:37,560
swirling around your head at once. That's a strange this week. Yeah,

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,239
that's the duality of humanity, isn't it. Yeah, just on

25
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:45,280
the Imperial triumphant front. I am amazed at how many

26
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280
people have actually seen say the same thing, Like it

27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,879
seems to be the recurring thing again and again. People

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,480
who didn't get or even in your case, actively didn't

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,079
like them suddenly being all in with this album now.

30
00:01:58,079 --> 00:01:59,680
And I knew when I heard it, I knew it

31
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:01,319
was a more you know, it would be a bit

32
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:03,719
more legible for people. But I am like really taken

33
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:06,400
aback by the extent at how much people seem to

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:06,879
be won over.

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: I think. I think for me, it's not just gold Star.

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: I think like over the last sort of two years, sure, yeah,

37
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:18,360
come around to a lot more of this side of things.

38
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:21,240
You've worn me down with ter armor and the like.

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,879
But I think when you now and that does kind

40
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,719
of just make their approach to it make more sense.

41
00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:30,159
You can kind of go back and kind of I

42
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:32,680
can pick out the riffs on Alphaville now and kind

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,240
of go, yeah, that fucks actually, Like.

44
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm amazed at how it seemed to actually be

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,879
going down as like one of the slam dunk albums of.

46
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:42,439
Speaker 2: One of the best aims of the year so far.

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I certainly think so. But again, the

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,960
time and time again story that we're sitting play out there,

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,400
it surprised me at how well it's.

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: The fact that it wasn't just me is maybe go like, no, cool,

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,240
there was actually something to this.

52
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a nice story, you know. Speeding ahead

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,719
through the rest of this year, I have had a

54
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:04,080
pretty decent week. I spoke Tonrgil the other day. I

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,280
asked him all about the you know, the shitty poopy

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,520
poop of God. There was a wonderful moment where he

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560
said he can't stand cheesy power metal, and in about ten

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,120
minutes later brought up how much he loves Man of

59
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,680
War and I was like, yeah, I know what that means,

60
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:16,520
because they are different things. But it was still good.

61
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,400
I've been rewatching the Park Chan Wook Vengeance trilogy just

62
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:23,599
for no particular reason, just just good in it. And

63
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:25,680
that's and that's where I'm at. And has said, you know,

64
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,240
you're going to know a certain funeral that we can

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,759
bring up next week, but otherwise let's get into the

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,719
news where I you know, I'd say it's a sort

67
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:39,479
of on the surface, a slower week, but there is

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,840
I guess some interesting tim kind of you know, tidbits

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,120
to talk about and a few stories I don't know

70
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:48,719
tu mull over in that regard. We're gonna start with

71
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:51,120
Lincoln Park, who have a sort of duel story here.

72
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,360
The first is that they have dropped another new single.

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,439
It's only like what like four months or something since.

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, six months, yeah, November the album exactly.

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's only about you know, four or five

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,159
months or something that as the album came out and

77
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,039
they're already released in New music. There's a song called

78
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:10,599
Up from the Bottom, which I I mean, I would

79
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:13,840
presume was probably sitting around the time that they were

80
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:16,319
making the album, and they've decided to you know, it

81
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:16,959
feels like.

82
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: The inevitable like deluxe reissue. Yeah, the album does now

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,040
where they need that they still need a big single

84
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,279
put aside.

85
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,519
Speaker 1: To another single to kind of drum up a bit

86
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,680
more interest with for the tour when that's coming around,

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,199
that kind of thing. But you know, I can totally

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,519
imagine this being part of the from zero kind of

89
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,600
sessions because it sounded awful like it doesn't it. And

90
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,519
it's funny because you know, when we did that review,

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,079
and I felt like I certainly came to that review

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,120
very negatively based around the amount that that album was

93
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:53,600
kind of being shoved down our collective throats versus how

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,319
good an album I actually thought it was. But in

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,040
a weird way, I feel like that might come across

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
as me being I don't know, completely checked out from

97
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,120
the Linky Park reunion or something, because I do ever

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,439
remind myself there was at least sort of like two

99
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,959
singles or something from the record that I thought were

100
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,519
really good, one of which the Empties Machine being the

101
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,240
best Linky Park song in ages and ages and ages.

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,759
So I go into this and I think, yeah, at

103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,279
the very least, I don't think they're producing good albums

104
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,319
right now, but I think there is a you know,

105
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,120
this is a very cynical sentence, and maybe to a

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,959
degree it is, But like, I think they know which

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
songs are the singles and which ones are the fillers,

108
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,240
right And so I think I can look at Linky

109
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,959
Park right now and be like, Okay, when Linky Park

110
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:38,959
are releasing a single, I can probably trust it to

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,480
be a bit better than you know, dumping ten tracks

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,879
of it on me and this it's not anything new

113
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,360
or outstanding. It sounds a lot like the Empty Miss Machine,

114
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,399
doesn't it. It's a second one of those. It's upbeat, Pacey,

115
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:53,279
it has the same kind of chorus and it's it's

116
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,839
not as good as the Empties Machine, but in terms

117
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,279
of being in line with the thing that they are

118
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,560
currently doing quite well, I would say this is probably

119
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:04,519
I mean, you were easily and like the the top

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,759
five songs that this version of Lincoln Parker's produced to date.

121
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:11,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I absolutely agree. I genuinely like this. Again, I

122
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
really like the Interestine. I think the Empeschine is great. Yeah,

123
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:17,199
this isn't as good as that, but it's it's delivering

124
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,120
on that kind of like very slickly produced like Lincoln

125
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,879
Park and like Pacey, slightly rocking number Mike Schnodi's, you know,

126
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,399
slightly clunky rapping, but I've got a soft spot for it.

127
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,480
I think this is absolutely using the same ven as

128
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:32,439
Interest Machine, but.

129
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:34,319
Speaker 2: It's good.

130
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,199
Speaker 3: It's again better than most of what was on the album,

131
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,319
better than all the sort of bands imitating the Lincoln

132
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,360
Park sound. Again, so I'll take this.

133
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there was a lot of I think

134
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:45,560
there was a quote from Mike Shinoda in the round

135
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,639
of the road it was like, this is the best

136
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,199
song we've done to date, and it's like, well, whether

137
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,079
even meant the the current they done, I still don't

138
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,680
think that's true, because you know, Empty Machine and even

139
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,399
like Heavy of the Crown or whatever, I think are better.

140
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:59,000
And I don't necessarily know if this one will stick

141
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,759
around in the memory the way the Empty Machine at

142
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,319
least a few months on, you know, has been doing.

143
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,600
But as said, if Linky Parker to be an okay

144
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,839
singles band at the moment, then I'll take it. It's sort

145
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,040
of the best we've got going on. Speaking about drumming

146
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,240
up interest for the tour, that is, I guess, unfortunately,

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720
where most of the Lincoln Park conversation has been. It's funny, actually,

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,720
they released a song and I barely saw a thing

149
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,199
about it. I only saw people sharing the story about

150
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:29,560
their ticket sales. Because they have been downgrading some of

151
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,639
the shows on their US tour they're currently going to

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,920
be embarking on. They are doing heavily discounted tickets for

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,959
a lot of them, and I guess the big headline

154
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,920
which grabbed a lot of attention is that they are

155
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,800
doing a big hometown show at the Los Angeles Dodger Stadium,

156
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:51,319
which has been downgraded to the Intuit Dome. And that

157
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:52,759
was a show that all tided Queens of the Stone

158
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,519
age on the bill, as support in Queens of Stone

159
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,480
have now dropped off in this smaller environment, and I

160
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800
guess that you know, the question is our Lincoln Park

161
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:02,560
just you know, even six months on from they they

162
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,519
come back or whatever kind of stalling in terms of

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:13,399
the continued interest in that and overestimating their ticket draw.

164
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,199
Speaker 3: I mean, like it's a tough one sake because you

165
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:19,720
look at Wembley and how well that's sold. That's pretty

166
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:23,399
much like resell tickets only for silly price, and that

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,079
stadium and that is stadium, and there are stadium shows

168
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:29,720
they've sold out on these runs.

169
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,159
Speaker 2: I think, of course, of overside that, for me, I

170
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:33,840
do think it's.

171
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: Part of a wider thing we've discussed I think many times,

172
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,519
which is the cost of live music on the larger states,

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,879
particularly in America. Like the stories I'm seeing come out

174
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:45,399
from like and that's why I think, you know, what

175
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:49,240
if they're doing tickets for forty dollars. Good, the fans win. Like,

176
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000
that's my opinion on that one. I like, it might

177
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,759
be a bit humbling for the band, but I'm like,

178
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,440
the fans win. I think that's fine because live music

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,879
for the bigger bands is insane in America at the moment.

180
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Like when I'm seeing you know, sleep talking tickets are

181
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,639
costing three hundred dollars, I'm like.

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,159
Speaker 2: How much on Lincoln Park tickets costing them?

183
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: Are they like one thousand dollar tickets which they must

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,200
have been, And there's no wonder you're not selling out

185
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,200
stadiums if you're charging one thousand dollars a ticket.

186
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.

187
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: And this downgrade thing, I would like to untest the

188
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,440
fact that the again the Dodger Stadium that they were

189
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,759
initially going to be in at what they've downgraded it to.

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,799
The Dodger Stadium is I think something like fifty five

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,639
fifty six thousand or something capacity, and the venue they've

192
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:32,759
downgraded it to is I think it says here eighteen thousand.

193
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,039
So they've not gone for Wembley Arena down to the Forum, right,

194
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,840
Like that is like absurd size of venue any which way,

195
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:49,039
And as you're saying, there, you know, fifty six thousand

196
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:52,519
people in the attempted venue, if they were I mean again,

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,279
I don't know what's that take your price was, but

198
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,840
I'm sure we can probably.

199
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: Use couple hundred dollars.

200
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, like probably a minimum two hundred dollars or something

201
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,200
like that. You times that by fifty six thousand, that's

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840
an awful lot of dollars. So even then you go, okay, like,

203
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:10,360
you know, let's say some of these other stadiums they

204
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,159
might be doing again twenty thousand doors or whatever it

205
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,480
might be, and they're doing that forty dollars you know

206
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:20,440
price thing. That's still quite an influx of you know,

207
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,440
ticket fee. And obviously there are all sorts of other

208
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,080
costs to account for, which are you know, offsetting that profit.

209
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,480
But in terms of uh, downgrading there, I don't know again,

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,399
their draw or whatever a band selling out fucking you know,

211
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,759
enormous stadiums, even before you get to the you know,

212
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,799
fifty six thousand Dodger stadium size that they've had to

213
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,759
downgrade from. I feel like, again with the proper context

214
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:48,600
of what we are talking about, being downgraded for one

215
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:51,320
through another, overestimating draw is like, yeah, they shot for

216
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:55,919
the fucking moon. Yeah, maybe maybe six months after their

217
00:10:55,919 --> 00:11:01,600
big comeback, they don't quite fill what they But as

218
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,840
you're saying in terms of the amount that they are

219
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:07,600
still selling on top of the obstacles that were in

220
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,440
the way in terms of pricing, as you were saying,

221
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360
I think those are obviously mitigating factors.

222
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:13,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

223
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean again like that that they are still selling out,

224
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,080
like the O to arena, like is what they've moved

225
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,440
to essentially, Yeah, like those are these are not you know,

226
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,919
small rooms they're moving into.

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: They're just going from the biggest of the big too big.

228
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,440
And like again, like like bands.

229
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: Down grading is never a good look. There's no kind

230
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,399
of way to spin it. It's always a kind of like,

231
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:37,759
well that that didn't work out. But yeah, I do

232
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:40,679
think there are more factors other than more LINKA parkhn't

233
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,080
actually as big as they thought they were.

234
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we continue on with some of our you know,

235
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,600
big American rock bands from the early two thousands because

236
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,399
Evan Essence have also put out a new single. This

237
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,200
is a song called after Life. It is in conjunction

238
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,840
with the new Devil May Cry series, which sam were

239
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,759
to our regular segment of you have to be our

240
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,759
correspondent on NERD shit. What is the I don't know,

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,519
scale or relevance of this project that this is tied

242
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:07,879
in with.

243
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:11,159
Speaker 3: If in two thousand and four a Devil May Creit

244
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,600
anime happened with an Evanescent song on the sound they

245
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
would have genuinely told you it's the greatest thing to

246
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,960
ever happen to art like perfect like early to mid

247
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:24,000
naughties Edges, Definite ma. They are some of my favorite games.

248
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,399
They are, you know, a main character like all white

249
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,559
hair and a swoopy emo fringe with a big sword

250
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,759
in a red trench coat, like like the most kind

251
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,720
of like like edgy gothic cool stuff. And like they

252
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,480
were so in line with that that kind of like

253
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720
post new metal, like you've been watching all the Underworld movies.

254
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: They are the video games equivalent.

255
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: They're in that lane, and like they you know long,

256
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,039
they've been going on since the Empty thousands and finally

257
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,720
had rubbishname the Noise. But like there's a new anime

258
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:53,879
coming out. I mean it's not just that they've got

259
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,919
an original evanescentce song written for it. The soundtrack for

260
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600
this anime. They have gone like two thousand, New Metal

261
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Last Resort is on the soundtrack, Rolling is on the soundtrack.

262
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,080
Like they know what they're doing. They know that Devil

263
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,080
May Cry fans for like two thousand and one, two

264
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,840
thousand and four might.

265
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Have been the coolest time in the history of the universe.

266
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's interesting, as I guess, a larger piece

267
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,799
of new metal nostalgia. I wasn't aware of in that regard.

268
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,679
But as you say, there is a new Evanescence song

269
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360
written for this. Evanessence say that they have a bunch

270
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:24,799
of new music written and they're sitting on but the

271
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,080
kind of you know, the deal came to put this

272
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,000
out with Devil May Cry, so they've gone ahead with

273
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,279
with this song. I love the It's just what you

274
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,159
were saying. The fact that when I, you know, clicked

275
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:36,000
play on this song, it came with a like AMV

276
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,600
anime music video.

277
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:42,159
Speaker 3: It's exactly so you would have seen Devil May Cry

278
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,120
AMVs to Call Me when You're sober and bring me.

279
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: To life, like in two thousand and seven, exactly so

280
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,799
that really took me back. I thought the song was,

281
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:54,399
you know, very very gloomy. Obviously it has a good

282
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,919
amy vocal. She's present in the mix, which I you know,

283
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,120
I was thinking about recently because you know, the it

284
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:01,960
came up on the internet. It was like four years

285
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,960
or something since the Better Truth album reviews of my

286
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,879
podcast I Know, which feels like, you know, a wild

287
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,799
four years there. But I was thinking about that album

288
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,919
and how I you know, me and you are both

289
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:19,159
you know, we owe a lot in our lives to Evanescence,

290
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:22,360
shall we say yes? And the Bitter Truth is genuinely

291
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,120
the first Evanescence for like the album, which they don't

292
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,240
have many of, right, but it's the first one that

293
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:30,200
I don't think is great. And I remember we reviewed

294
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,080
it and my expectations were like really low because of

295
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,399
the singles going in, and I remember saying, well, at

296
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,159
least it's not that terrible, you know, yeah, But you know,

297
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,600
going on four years now, there is very little of

298
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,120
that material that has stuck around in the kind of

299
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,799
you know, either in the zeitgeist or just in my

300
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:52,720
brain and in his extent of the other you know,

301
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:55,679
Evanescence records, and we were talking about how fucking strange

302
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:59,159
the mixes and production and stuff, and this song, I again,

303
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,480
it's made think it's a throwaway track for an anime

304
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,879
tie in. I don't know's it's not top draw Evanescence stuff,

305
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:07,679
even by the standards of the last things they were

306
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,559
doing before the Bit of Truth album. But I know

307
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:12,720
at least it sounds a bit better than that did.

308
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind this.

309
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: I think you know, it feels very much Evanescence album

310
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,000
track on the good Evanescence. I'm not like, look the

311
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Self Tired this has been on the Self Tired album.

312
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,799
I'd have been like, yeah, no, that's another good song

313
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,840
on that album.

314
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:29,399
Speaker 1: Sure, but it doesn't doesn't sound.

315
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Like the World Fire.

316
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: But coming off the back of the last album, I

317
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:34,799
was kind of a bit more infused about this song

318
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,240
than I have been about anything on that So again,

319
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,039
like maybe it's just the combination of Evanescence and Devin

320
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,399
may Cry just kind of like tickling me in such

321
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,320
a way that I'm more sort of soft on it.

322
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,279
Speaker 2: But I think it's decent.

323
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get to our you know, our slap on

324
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,320
the wrist for the week, unfortunately, which comes, you know,

325
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:59,679
deservingly to Danzig, who played a big show in Englewood, California,

326
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,200
this week. Looked mad fucking down a buff and chromags

327
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,039
on it as a bill, which is a very strange combination.

328
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,080
But certainly, you know a lot of great music on

329
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,559
that night out and apparently the Danzig show, you know

330
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,919
it was in four and everything. But unfortunately the headline

331
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:14,519
that has, you know, come out of this one is

332
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,879
people snapping pictures of the merch desk where you could

333
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:21,320
buy some lovely Danzig t shirts or art prints with

334
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,080
big old sun wheels on them, which if you are

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,399
not familiar with what a sun wheel is, I think

336
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:30,039
this is something that people in maybe black metal spaces

337
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:34,159
have become a little bit more attuned to spotting when

338
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,000
it comes to what it is and where it comes from.

339
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,000
Big Danzig shirt with it on, maybe you won't know

340
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:42,039
what it is, but it is a symbol, as with

341
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,399
many symbols out there, as an ancient, you know, symbol

342
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,519
that predates whatever its current usage is. But it has

343
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,039
basically become a big old Nazi dog.

344
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:53,879
Speaker 2: Whistle, you're made from sort to prevail what it means like.

345
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:58,519
Speaker 1: Exactly, it's a It's a symbol that has come to

346
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:01,320
be very much associated and kind of opted by the

347
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:06,000
extremist white supremacist far right, and so Danzig selling T

348
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,920
shirts with an enormous I don't know it's how he

349
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,640
looks anyway, but like a very muscly, airy and looking

350
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:14,839
dancing figure on it in front of a sun wheel

351
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:19,160
is not a good look. And obviously people are upset

352
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,599
about this, and the discourse has become I don't know,

353
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:28,359
is this Danzig intentionally you know, dog whistling to far

354
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,119
right members of his audience or whatever. Is it just

355
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,960
he is just very, very thick and doesn't know what

356
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:36,720
it is. Is it somewhere in between, or if he

357
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:39,759
kind of knows what's going on and is indulging those

358
00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:43,920
edge lord tendencies of just you know, putting old any

359
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:46,640
symbol that kind of has a slight you know, kind.

360
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: Of edgy.

361
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: Provocateur sort of look to it. Danzig. I mean, if

362
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,559
you are, you know, a regular listener, you will know

363
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:56,880
that Danzig is one of my guys. I would also

364
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:01,519
say he is about the most fucking thick, dislikable prick

365
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:05,279
that I would call one of my guys. And uh,

366
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,920
obviously I think it's fucking stupid and terrible that you

367
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,759
would go out and sell much like this. In terms

368
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:15,720
of his intentions. Obviously, I can't say I know that

369
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,240
he Obviously he does come out from time to time

370
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,519
and say other maybe you know, less hateful, but certainly

371
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,640
kind of you know, fringe views on vaccines or whatever.

372
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,000
It might be indulging the uh far right members of

373
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:30,960
your fan base by giving them the old nod with

374
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,559
the sun wheel logo and everything. It's definitely, as said,

375
00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:38,720
the the edge lord ship from a you know, nearly

376
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:42,240
seven year old guy that I can see Danzig doing.

377
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: Like to me, I was like, I feel like this

378
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:48,680
is Danzig being an edge lord idiot, like just because

379
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,039
that feels like the easy explanation.

380
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, like it was just kind of like Danzig.

381
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,599
Speaker 3: Again, like again it's been a bad week for you know,

382
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,440
being like I fucking love them, missays, Oh yeah, both

383
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,759
you're like most of us vocalist are absolute pricks, aren't there?

384
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,440
The thing was off on a ran yeah, and I

385
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,079
was like, oh god, why do I have to love

386
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,920
the misfits, Like both vocalists are both most those vocalists

387
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,519
are twats.

388
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

389
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a wasp, isn't it in terms of like,

390
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,880
oh you're yeah, you're old and mental? Okay, But yeah,

391
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,880
stupid ship, don't do that, Danzig better. New Turnstile seem

392
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,799
to be teasing something or other. There are big billboards

393
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:30,400
of foots, which is always nice to see from the

394
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,839
Turnstile camp. They also seem to have confirmed their current

395
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,759
lineup because there was a swapping of guitarists that happened

396
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:39,319
a couple of years ago, and it seems that the

397
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,680
guitarists who were kind of was brought on board for

398
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,599
the touring has you know, he's sticking around, which you know, nice,

399
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,799
But it looks like there is going to be Turnstile

400
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,519
something or other coming on June the sixth. There is

401
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,279
a billboard that says never enough Turnstyle with that date

402
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:59,200
on it. Now, it would be very weird. I think

403
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:01,759
for a billboard with that date on it to appear

404
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,680
two months in advance of a single, like if it's

405
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,480
just a single, right, so you know, normally when things

406
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:09,960
appear with a date like that, it might be the

407
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,799
next week or something. So I can't imagine that we

408
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,920
are going to be waiting in dead air until June

409
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,839
the six That sounds like there might be something more

410
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:19,799
substantial coming June six and we're going to hear news

411
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,119
of it much much sooner than that.

412
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping.

413
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, I was kind of expecting Turnstile to

414
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,880
be giving up some other summer because you know, they're

415
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,279
making their sort of live return the summer, so I

416
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920
was kind of hoping, just expecting that there would be

417
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,240
something kind of like to be a little taste of

418
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,279
an album, be it a single bit the album coming.

419
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: Out in June.

420
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, I you know, anything new Turnstile I'm going

421
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,880
to be salivating over. You can never have enough Turnstyle,

422
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:53,359
like and yeah, this is this is exciting. I just hope,

423
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,480
I hope it is, you know, a single coming with

424
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,279
the album during that, That's my hope.

425
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Yes, we also have the news of baby Metal album.

426
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,720
They are going to put out a record called Metal Fourth,

427
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:06,400
which I don't know grammatically what that really means how

428
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,240
that works as a sentence.

429
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,079
Speaker 2: The fifth album as well, like yeah, I get the.

430
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:14,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are quite right. I haven't thought of it

431
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:17,880
that way. Their album is out on June the thirteenth,

432
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,119
and it seems to have a big old list of

433
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,359
guests on it, and it's basically again I like Babe

434
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,119
Metal a lot, but you can imagine basically their you know,

435
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,039
their management and the game plan over there looking over

436
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720
who's on TikTok, Yeah, looking over the you know the

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,039
other side of the Pacific and going okay in America

438
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,480
or whatever what is currently popular and not seem to

439
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:39,960
be the things that they always seem to tap. So

440
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,079
we've got pretty much, you know, all the guess you

441
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:44,319
would imagine on a baby a record.

442
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: Right now.

443
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,559
Speaker 1: Spirit Box are on their Bloody Would, which I think

444
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:50,279
you can obviously imagine some kind of like bangor jpop,

445
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,640
you know, crossover going there. Polifia are there, Slaughter to

446
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,519
Prevail I think are on there in you know, more

447
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:58,640
big use of fans of some wheels. But yeah, Poppy

448
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:01,160
there is going to be the single with Poppy is

449
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,240
going to be out today as this goes out. We've

450
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,440
not heard it yet, but there you go. And new

451
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,599
Been Bebe Mutley is coming. We have heard a bit

452
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,759
of new Midnight, which is very exciting. So Midnight, you know,

453
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:13,920
released an album last year. This you know, had to

454
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,079
go and look at what it was. It's not a

455
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,279
full length new material. What it is Midnight releasing a

456
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:24,039
record steel, Rust and Disgust, which is both excellent, normal

457
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,000
like rhyming Midnight fair, but also I guess probably specifically

458
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:33,240
regional in what its inspirations are this time because Midnight,

459
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,000
who are based in Cleveland, Ohio, are releasing a covers

460
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:42,920
album of basically lots of like local Cleveland bands and

461
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,799
artists from back in the day that I guess Athena

462
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,359
would have been starting up. So I've never been to

463
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,160
Cleveland in my life, I have never heard of most

464
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,440
of the people on this I.

465
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: Don't recognize any of the band names being covered, but.

466
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Screaming Jay Hawkins of course, who

467
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,599
predates you know, all of heavy metal and everything to

468
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,279
a great degree. But you know, I do trust that

469
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,039
Midnight doing cover of these things will be a great

470
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,559
old time. And there are two original songs on this record,

471
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:14,240
one as a title track and one as has been released.

472
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:18,039
It's a song just called Cleveland Metal and I just

473
00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:20,839
I don't know, it's a great celebration, you know, of

474
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,880
just a super just regional badge of pride. I'm going

475
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,319
to cover all these songs around it. I'm going to

476
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,000
write a song celebrating it all. I love that you

477
00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:32,400
can probably tell that he you know, he heard dark

478
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,799
Throne doing Canadian metal, which you know then not even

479
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:38,920
from Canada, but you can imagine him hearing like I'm

480
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,240
going to do that for Cleveland.

481
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland.

482
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,079
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what the chorus of this song would

483
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,240
be before I play on it. It would be him

484
00:23:46,319 --> 00:23:50,240
yelling Cleveland metal. But it is one of those that

485
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:52,519
has a nice kind of like new of a British

486
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,559
heavy metal melody line as well, like a little bit

487
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,720
more bit were like fuck off of you.

488
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,839
Speaker 3: Like Triumphant lead guitar lines are wicked. They really make

489
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,559
the song fun. Like this is, you know, the most

490
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,240
kind of like full for all like midnight song.

491
00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: It's as one.

492
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:09,599
Speaker 3: It is really just uplifting and good vibes and just

493
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,599
Cleveland metal.

494
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm going to put in a prediction that

495
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:17,319
Steel Rest and Disgusted will be a sleazier kind of

496
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,480
nast song. And this is like the you know, Triumphant

497
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:24,559
Anthem and if I'm just gonna get two new Midnight

498
00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:26,319
songs on a bunch of covers and I'm happy for

499
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,000
you know, those to be the thing Cleveland metal as

500
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,839
a track. It rips you know, probably won't review with

501
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,079
the new Covers album because it's all covers. But if

502
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:35,799
we are going to talk about some new midnight material,

503
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:39,119
I'm happy getting a song like this of Cleveland Metal.

504
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,519
Great stuff there, Sam Bruce Springsteen has announced that he

505
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:51,160
is releasing a box set of seven unreleased albums recorded

506
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,440
in between nineteen eighty three and twenty eighteen for a

507
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:58,240
very long time, almost his whole career, and that includes

508
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:03,759
seventy four previously un heard songs. There are certain artists

509
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:06,160
who I'm a fan of where if this came as

510
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,519
an announcement, it would be more exciting than I don't know,

511
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,839
other announcements. Yes, are you excited to hear seven albums

512
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:16,880
worth of Springsteen offcuts?

513
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: Yes?

514
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: I mean I'm sure that across these seven albums when

515
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,920
you look at the breadth of time and these sort

516
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,799
of ups and downs of his career on that time

517
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,039
in terms of there are albums from scenere as that

518
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:32,599
I was like, I'm not so keen on, but like

519
00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:36,240
just the like seven unmerly Springsteen albums that are just

520
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,720
gonna be brand new to me is very exciting. I might,

521
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:41,640
you know, block out a day and just sit there

522
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,400
and all seven albums in a row and see if

523
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,559
that's too much Springsteen.

524
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: I doubt it.

525
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait to hear the the scintillating sonic

526
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,880
breadth across.

527
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,079
Speaker 3: How many cars and dinads is he going to sing about?

528
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna keep it tally.

529
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: I do wonder. So that's a bunch of new album announcements,

530
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,559
some live music announcements. It is going to be, you

531
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,559
know again, the friday this goes out. I think is

532
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,079
going to be a very expensive ticket day for maybe

533
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,960
rock fans in the UK of slightly eclectic taste as well,

534
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,799
because there is quite a lot that is jostling for

535
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,759
your pennies right now. We had the announcement earlier in

536
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:22,240
the week that My Bloody Valentine are doing a UK

537
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,759
arena tour, which is their first UK headline run in

538
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,480
over a decade. They are playing Manchester, London and Glasgow.

539
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,359
We've you know, we've done an album club and My

540
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,000
Bloody Valentine they are a very very important iconic band.

541
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,920
I am you know, I'm weighing up going in because

542
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,559
I feel like it'd be a cool thing again to

543
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,680
kind of you know, tick off and be like yeah cool.

544
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,160
I went to see my Blooy Valentine as they were there.

545
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,400
But that's kind of exciting then, I guess simillly just

546
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,480
for fans, you know, maybe a slightly different stripe of

547
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,640
fans of you know, turn of the late eighties, nineteen

548
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,599
nineties alternative stuff. Fields of the Nephelin are also doing

549
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,839
a UK tour, slightly longer UK tour, and that's another

550
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,160
one that I really would like to go to because

551
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,319
they were really great when I saw them a few

552
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,319
years ago. So that's your older stuff. But then we

553
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,000
also have the news that Ice nine Kills are good

554
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,920
going to be doing a UK and European tour which

555
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,240
includes their biggest certainly in this country headline dates to date.

556
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,680
They're doing Wembley Arena, Manchester Victoria Warehouse, Glasgow Hydro, Nottingham

557
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,440
Motor Point Arena as well, and the support acts there

558
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,640
are Creeper and The Devil wors Prada, So if I

559
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:28,759
guess if Devil was Prada play exclusively the zombie EP,

560
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,519
there will be some kind of horror theming going on there.

561
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:35,440
But Ice Night Kills, I know they're a very very

562
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,480
divisive band, but if you are a fan, bringing Creeper

563
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:43,119
along for it is one of those like, yeah, Creeper

564
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,240
should probably tour with Ice nine Kills at some point.

565
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: Like theatrical Horritinge or spooky bands. Like I've got to

566
00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:53,000
give this because I was like, adding Creeper on Mills,

567
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,119
I've never seen n Ice Thine Kills Creeper really sweetens

568
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,319
the deal. I imagine they'll bring a big show for

569
00:27:57,319 --> 00:27:59,440
Wembley and again I'm just like, yeah, I'll have a

570
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,559
good night, Like I like horror and vampires and spooky shit.

571
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:05,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, Art the clown literally just fucking on the post

572
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,000
is so stupid. But yeah, I mean I was thinking

573
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,599
about this from Creeper's perspective, and I know that they

574
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:13,640
they technically they just co headline We Will Arena, didn't they.

575
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were on rides first, but it was like

576
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,640
a co headliner.

577
00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:20,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess, you know, it makes sense that

578
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,480
they wouldn't yet go and do it on their own,

579
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:25,480
and it makes sense Icelin Kills would get there before them.

580
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:28,160
And I'm happy for Creeper in terms of supporting this

581
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,839
because it feels like a big, perfectly aligned kind of

582
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,759
slot for them, you know what I mean. I would

583
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:36,000
love to see Creeper go and do something like a Wembley,

584
00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:37,200
you know, on their own merit.

585
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so sooner.

586
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: Rather than later. But Icenine kills with Creeper and.

587
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: They're on the up as well, Iceline Kills.

588
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: They've got momentum right now to sort of potentially pull

589
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:46,839
them like this off.

590
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: So be interesting to see.

591
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:50,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'd be really tempted by that as well.

592
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:54,359
We also significantly we have the news of when Refused

593
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,079
are going to be bringing their farewell tour to you know,

594
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
the Europe and the UK, which again they're going to

595
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,839
do in Brickson Academy, Manchester, Victoria Warehouse, Glasgow and Dublin

596
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:07,640
as well as you know, Paris and you know other

597
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,839
places around Europe. But they refused farewell sore. There's a

598
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:16,119
whole bunch of support acts. I can't quite tell. Actually

599
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,160
there'sn't gonna be a little symbol for when the UK

600
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,519
one is, which I don't know if that means the

601
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:23,960
UK support is not yet announced. I'm not sure. But Sam,

602
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,880
I'm going to guess that you're probably interested in going

603
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,480
to the final review to the UK tour.

604
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,359
Speaker 3: I probably will end up there, yes, I mean two

605
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,160
is quite expensive for I was like, oh damn it,

606
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,880
I looked and I was like, that's a lot bum.

607
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:36,640
It's final time to see Refused. I mean I've seen

608
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,079
Refused a couple of times before and like, show you

609
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:40,680
what about the albums after they come back? They were

610
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,319
always fucking brilliant live. So it'll be a nice celebration

611
00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:45,799
to sort of see that band off.

612
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Refuse are fucking dead and this time they really

613
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,759
mean it, as it says on the poster. But yep,

614
00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:53,519
that's coming to the UK, and unto others, have announced

615
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:57,359
a small handful of club shows in the UK around

616
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,880
when they are here in the summer opening for the

617
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,240
King Diamond tour. Unfortunately, there is not one of these

618
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:05,240
really near me. I would love for them to have

619
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:07,119
added like a Liverpool show or something, because I'm seeing

620
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,000
the King Diamond, but I really want to see a

621
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,519
headline tour. And as they have said, they've been over

622
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:13,319
here a little bit, so they're probably not going to

623
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,440
come back to Europe in the UK for a little

624
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,680
while after this, at least I don't know a few

625
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,880
months or whatever. But unto others, if you are in

626
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,960
one of these other cities where they've announced a small show,

627
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:28,880
for example Nottingham, they're playing the Rescue Rooms Southampton. They're

628
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,960
playing the Joiners Norwich. Quite a few little places they've

629
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,039
actually added and there are support from there, dependent on

630
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:37,119
the bill, depend on the data. There's support from Lowen.

631
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:40,279
They're playing with High Parasite as well. But yeah, last

632
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:43,279
little UK club shows around the King Diamond to r

633
00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:46,279
from Untourthers before. I guess they don't come over here

634
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:50,039
for a little bit. Other side, are things going over there?

635
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:52,319
The sex Pistols, of course, they're you know current version

636
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:55,960
with Frank Carter, who are really busy, like that's.

637
00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: Doing everything they've been in Japan, like the yeah, like

638
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:01,119
all over the shop like it's got legs.

639
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,599
Speaker 1: This reunion fair enough, Yeah, I mean the you know,

640
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:05,359
Frank Carton the routs and make's kind of going Hiata

641
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,559
seems more and more. I don't know, like it was

642
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:11,079
timed appropriately for the sex Pistols to play every single

643
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,319
fucking place in the world. But they are going to

644
00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:15,599
go over to the US as of course, a tour

645
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,519
that sees them playing the never Mind the Bollocks album

646
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:19,200
in full because they don't have any of the albums,

647
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,319
but they play some other songs as well. But yeah,

648
00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:22,359
if you are in the US and you want to

649
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:24,799
see this great sex Pistols lineup, which, as I've sid

650
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:27,319
i've seen live, is a really really fun, good show

651
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:30,559
that is going over there. Unfortunately, if you are over

652
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:32,119
there you want to see High Viz, you are going

653
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,480
to have to wait a little while because they have

654
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,759
had to cancel their North American tour kind of last minute,

655
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:40,599
apparently because their vocalist Graham has had some kind of

656
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,480
incident and needs to go and have emergency surgery. They

657
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,279
say that he is you know okay and going to

658
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,160
you know, be fine, but that does mean they have

659
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,440
to cancel the upcoming US tour obviously. You know, thoughts

660
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,359
go into Graham, whatever's happened, their hopes, you know, his

661
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,559
recovery is great, and that the High Viz North American

662
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,240
tour gets to happen, you know eventually. Yeah, great band

663
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:04,160
currently really on a run as well. And then finally

664
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,440
gonna end up the news with just a couple of

665
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,160
obituaries for bands who are parting ways very very I think,

666
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,079
both pretty small bands, but both quite you know, they

667
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:18,400
have a presence in their little micro scenes that they're in.

668
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:21,680
First of all, Chubby and the Gang are going to

669
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,279
be going on hiatus. Chubby and the Gang is essentially

670
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:28,279
a solo project, isn't it. It's the Chisel that the

671
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:29,400
guy is also a member of.

672
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: I think it might be like, yeah, like they were

673
00:32:33,759 --> 00:32:35,279
those men, because obviously they were, like there was a

674
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:36,880
lot of buzz around them a couple of years a

675
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,799
guys just kind of like this rowdy UK punk band,

676
00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:41,759
and then it sort of seemed to disappear and they

677
00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:44,440
just kind of still existed as kind of like cropping

678
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,599
up on lines around them, but not with the same

679
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,920
level of like interest.

680
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:51,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Chisel are doing quite well for themselves.

681
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: What I've come back and they're doing. They're going strong

682
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:52,880
at the moment.

683
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, did you ever see Chubby and

684
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,960
the Gang. I feel like he probably did.

685
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,559
Speaker 3: I saw some support scale last year and they were decent,

686
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:01,599
and I asked spot Turnstyle a couple of years.

687
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: Ago as actually so like doing that. They popped up

688
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:04,519
everything on them.

689
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,319
Speaker 3: But they it was sort of like immediately post COVID

690
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,319
there was a real kind of like, oh, they you know,

691
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,799
the new UK punk band.

692
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: That everyone's going to get behind and never gonna happen

693
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,200
for them.

694
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I'm sure the cheers awe said, which

695
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:18,759
the guy is a member of, will continue, you know,

696
00:33:18,839 --> 00:33:21,079
doing doing well for themselves. So I think there's it

697
00:33:21,119 --> 00:33:23,200
makes sense there. But yeah, if you were inter rubbing

698
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,759
the gang, that is a man that's unfortunately, you know,

699
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:28,200
passing over to the realm of bands who no longer exist.

700
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,680
And that also goes for a really really fantastic band

701
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,559
from the UK underground called Heavy Sentence, who kind of

702
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,880
post COVID were basically if you were going to like

703
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,240
a trad heavy metal, old school heavy metal gig, Heavy

704
00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:45,119
Sentence were like the opening band in the UK, and

705
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:46,880
I saw them a bunch of times in those kind

706
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,319
of roles and they were genuinely so great, and it

707
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,200
got to the point where like every time I saw them,

708
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,599
there were more and more people who were like visibly

709
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,359
there for them and knowing their songs and everything, and

710
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,240
they are there was such a highlight of heavy metal

711
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:05,559
shows in the past couple of years. I think I

712
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:07,000
spoke about them a little bit last year when they

713
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,440
opened for Kirathung Gold their last show in London. If

714
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,239
you're a fan of stuff, like you know, the kind

715
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,480
of very early like Paul Deano era years Iron Maiden

716
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:17,639
and like that kind of era of like slightly more

717
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,280
rough and tumble new way for British heavy metal. Heavy

718
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,599
Sentence were fucking that and they were really great and

719
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:25,320
they're you know that the Warriors of Man, this EP

720
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,559
they put out last year and the Bank to Rights

721
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:30,760
album are full of like legit tune. So I was

722
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,320
really sad to see that news that they're going to

723
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,360
be calling it a day, because I feel like there's

724
00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:37,440
there's more to discover there in terms of like more

725
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,280
people who probably hadn't heard that band, who would love

726
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,559
those records I've just mentioned. So even though the band

727
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:43,599
are no more, if that sounds like something you shuld

728
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:45,039
be into, you should go and check those out because

729
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:48,519
those those songs still rip. But yeah, unfortunately Heavy Sentence

730
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,559
I'm not gonna be around anymore, which is really technical

731
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:52,320
by surprise because they seemed to have a good thing

732
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:54,800
going on. But yeah, you know, big respect to those

733
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,679
artists there. Let us finish off with questions obviously in

734
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,719
terms of the that's not mel Patreon. I think I

735
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,199
will announce what our next thing is on next week's Hyperblast.

736
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,320
Right now, we've got album club pack that we just

737
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,920
did not long ago, featuring We've been having great discussions

738
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,760
with people about like the Heaven and Hell album and

739
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,400
I want more people to hear like that Mad Integrity

740
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,639
album and you know, sixteen horse Power and stuff like

741
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:22,880
that we were talking about. But that was a really,

742
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,639
really fun good episode. As said glad, we managed to

743
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:28,000
polish off our Sabbath special.

744
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 2: Truly, it felt like the right epilogue.

745
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, revisiting that album, it's so fucking good, really fucking good.

746
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:38,360
But we'll have more coming to the patroon very very soon.

747
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,119
We are going to finish this episode today here on

748
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:45,000
the Weekly Feed with the weekly releases, which is slightly

749
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:47,079
is one of those like slightly more merciful weeks in

750
00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:50,079
terms of my tongue listing them. There's not quite as

751
00:35:50,199 --> 00:35:52,159
many as you know, the last couple or certainly a

752
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:54,239
couple of weeks coming up. But the fact that that

753
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,400
perceived week you know of slightly more in between still

754
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,519
has you know, a couple of like really like big records,

755
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:04,039
I guess, shows how fully in the swing of things

756
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:05,400
we are. We're going to start off with a new

757
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,880
Scowl record, which is called Are We All Angels? I

758
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,639
would guess that probably one of the more anticipated albums

759
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:17,400
of any sphere of rock this year. So obviously we

760
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,760
will talking about the Scout record when it come to

761
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,679
our review show and stuff, but you know, a big

762
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,239
exciting one there. We also have the new Bleed from

763
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,440
Within album Zenith, one of our again kind of very consistent.

764
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,719
Gradually on the up UK metal bands, there is the

765
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,840
band thorn Hill with a record called Bodies. This is

766
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,760
more the kind of contemporary, you know, gente old metal

767
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,480
type of thing. I you know, I'm gauging from people

768
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:46,800
out there. If they're an example of that people are

769
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,360
you know, passionate about I don't yet know, but they

770
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,840
have got an album out doing that kind of a style.

771
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,519
Then there is a Pigs Time seven, you know Pigs

772
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,760
where they reclled death hilarious. This band are bigger than

773
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,079
I thought they were. I thought they were just kind

774
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:03,039
of a band with a kind of silly name who

775
00:37:03,039 --> 00:37:04,639
would kick around in the UK and wherever for a while.

776
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,079
But then I noticed they were playing like some semi

777
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:07,960
sizable shows.

778
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:12,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, so for a kind of like noisy Garrett like

779
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,480
Garas Rock, guess like Bandy, they've got a real I

780
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,159
think they're like like a big cult band is almost

781
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:20,880
how I describe, and we're like, they're not you know,

782
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,159
the most known name, but people who like them fucking

783
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:26,480
love them, and they pull they put in the crowds

784
00:37:26,519 --> 00:37:27,039
like yeah.

785
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's never drawn me in particularly,

786
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,800
but a realization that that band are you know, bigger

787
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,880
than I thought they were. So there they go. The

788
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,840
new you know, Pigs et cetera album UK death metal,

789
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:43,480
you know kind of veterans, old school as Benediction. Their

790
00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:46,519
current sort of renaissance are going on is continuing with

791
00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:50,480
their record called Ravage of Empires. Then we have a

792
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,760
man called tom Orum with a record call Beyond Obsidian Euphoria.

793
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,079
This is a band who put out a record a

794
00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:56,480
couple of years ago that I have been quite light

795
00:37:56,559 --> 00:38:00,840
and it's sort of like very clean, progressively black metal,

796
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,559
I would say for fans of stuff like Neobliviscarrists and

797
00:38:03,559 --> 00:38:05,960
stuff like that, but with a slightly more slight leading

798
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,000
slightly towards more the black metal than the death metal,

799
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,440
but that kind of you know, sort of like polished

800
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,719
based noodling around kind of proggy stuff. There you go,

801
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,159
And if you like tech death, then you know at

802
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:18,119
allegian allegaean whatever you're going to say, I think it's allegian.

803
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:22,480
The Ossuary Lens is out. We have a live album

804
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,039
another one. I feel like this band had put out

805
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:25,400
so many of these type things in recent years. But

806
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:28,760
there's a live album from Rotten Christ called thirty five

807
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,400
Years of Evil Existence Live and likea bettus. I believe

808
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,000
that's a big castle in Athens or something along those lines,

809
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,400
but suited ball for them. Yeah, I mean I looked

810
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,239
at the chatters from this and there's like twenty songs

811
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,119
or something on. There's a big, old bloody like career

812
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:43,639
spanning setlist, so you know, nice stuff if you're a

813
00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:47,840
big Rotten Christ enthusiast, which I am. And then, as

814
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,719
is a tradition at the moment, we end on a

815
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,800
whole run of EPs that has been put out from

816
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,039
the hardcore world because it's always running. There is the

817
00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:59,400
new EP from Balmora called Prologue and of the current

818
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,559
you know, kind of hot metallic hardcore bands and so

819
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:06,639
one of which there are genuinely two men's heat track

820
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:09,199
of there's so many now, like yeah, I would say,

821
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,719
like Balma, I feel like they're one of the ones

822
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,719
that have a bit more of a kind of they're

823
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:14,920
making a bit of a name for themselves. Is that right?

824
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:15,559
Speaker 2: Yeah?

825
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 3: I think so of like, like particularly America, that they

826
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,440
are the most exacting.

827
00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: So they they're the one who've got.

828
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: A bit more than you know, we really fucking like

829
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,559
poison the World, which again oh lpple that show. Or

830
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:27,559
they've kind of got this like they've got you know,

831
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,519
big sort of league guitars without like and kind of

832
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:34,000
like those sort of melodies playing against other kind of

833
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,440
like metalcore kind of like beat down and stuff. I

834
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:38,480
think they're really cool and this this EP has kind

835
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,880
of got a like essential drama to with that lot

836
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,920
of those other bands don't have going on at the moment.

837
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're probably one that, like when they

838
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,679
get round to putting out a full length album, will

839
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,760
probably like you know, review on the show or something,

840
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,159
but you go to need balm EP. Then we have

841
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,039
some more. We have the band Dynamite with set of

842
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:56,480
the score. What's this one sound like?

843
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,039
Speaker 3: UK hardcore just kind of like rowdy a little bit

844
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:02,840
more like I guess maybe a little on the hard

845
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,639
part said, but they're one of the kind of like

846
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,599
newer UK hardcle bands who are getting a bit of attention,

847
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,760
but like hard in your face stuff.

848
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,519
Speaker 1: Yes, and then finally we have Not without Punishment and

849
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:14,480
Blood Runs Cold.

850
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,159
Speaker 3: Another UK band because there is a stein of math

851
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Jump Scare on this. Really, they're literally on the songs

852
00:40:20,559 --> 00:40:22,239
ends and it goes into the fucking stin of math

853
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,840
pro and I was just like, fucking hell was not

854
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,039
ready for that. But the numbers don't lie. But yeah,

855
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,360
again this is a little bit more metallic, but again

856
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,119
just like nasty hard, UK hardcore is cool.

857
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,519
Speaker 1: There you go, and that is the releases for you know,

858
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:37,320
the first week of April. As said, next week on

859
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,719
the show, we're gonna have Sam and Mark on I

860
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,039
think because there is the the eulogy to happen. There's

861
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:47,559
a eulogy that's gonna happen from you know that those two,

862
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:50,360
So don't say that I don't let these things happen.

863
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,559
We'll bring back questions as well, seeing as there's you know,

864
00:40:53,559 --> 00:40:55,079
