1
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: What's up everybody. Welcome to That's not Mettal. We are

2
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:32,240
your weekly rock and heavy music podcast, and welcome here.

3
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,759
Every Friday, we are here with you for an edition

4
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,000
of Hyperblasts, which is our shorter form news and release

5
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,399
round up show where we let you know everything that

6
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,079
you need to know that's happened in the last seven

7
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,880
days or so. On that front. A few years ago,

8
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,840
we have the Turnstile pitpooper. He's struck again. He seems

9
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,000
to have moved to New Zealand this time, but there

10
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:56,520
is pit pooping still a foot out there in this terrible,

11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,200
terrible world of ours, isn't that right? Sam?

12
00:00:59,119 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: The size of a.

13
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: Shre Apparently, like other reports that it was like it

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,120
was like big poop this time, and people were throwing

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,680
up and it feels like this was like a real

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,879
like nightmare scenario for everyone involved.

17
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, how do you how do you go on?

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,239
You know, like, how do you as the person who's

19
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:18,200
done the pit poop? How do you pick yourself up

20
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:19,840
and move forward from that?

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,599
Speaker 2: Again? Like was it one way?

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,719
Speaker 3: He was like you know what, like I'm just gonna

23
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:25,680
poop for laugh? Or like was it like a oh shit,

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,120
I'm not going to make it to the toilet. Oh no,

25
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:28,480
oh no, oh no, here it goes.

26
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I have to imagine it's the latter. And if that

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,840
is true, then that's a terrible scenario to be in. Again,

28
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:36,439
I don't know how you come back from it.

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's.

30
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: Gotta be Warner says, you must know your stomach feeling

31
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:40,920
a bit funky and you need to get out of there.

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: But like, if the gig's that good, I like, you're

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,319
going to make the sacrifice.

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that didn't even happen where I was at the weekend,

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,959
which you'd think were given the name the prime environment

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,120
for it. I'm gonna talk out that in just a moment.

37
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:55,840
My name is parent. Here that Sam ticking on. You

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,239
can hear a cross from me, Like I said, this

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,120
is hyperblast. Let's get into all of this, and I'm

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280
going to start off by talking about I want to

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,400
speak a little bit about where I was at the weekend.

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,799
There was no pit pooping around. I was at a

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,680
little festival that's appeared in Manchester here in the UK

44
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:16,439
in the last few years called Awful Fest. And we

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,439
have I don't know we've I think we might have

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,840
jokingly referred to it a handful of times just because

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,520
the name of the place right it paints such a

48
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,039
vivid picture. Doesn't it like they have done an absolute

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,080
worldy of a marketing job in terms of like subbing

50
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:35,520
up what the musical vibe of their event is with

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000
you know, a name like awful Fest where if you

52
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:45,080
can picture the most diabolically nasty, dingy you know, death

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,759
metal festival, you could imagine you could call it something

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,639
like aful Fest.

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,879
Speaker 2: It could only be a post where you can't read

56
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,639
the band names.

57
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that.

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: If you've got an awful Fest, if you like, if

59
00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:58,840
I can read more than half the band names on

60
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,360
that line up poster, you've you've failed at your booking

61
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,560
awful Fest right there?

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I can tell you right now they have

63
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:06,560
never failed in that, like, they have absolutely lived up

64
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:09,400
to what that is. This is the fourth year this

65
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,680
festival has run, so the first one. Mathematically that works

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,719
out to twenty twenty two or three, doesn't it. I

67
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:17,000
can't even do my mast straight off the top my

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,960
head there, but I have you know again, it's in

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,439
a city that is, you know, somewhat adjacent in the

70
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,479
region of the country. Where I live. So I remember,

71
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:27,400
I think the first year it popped up, I saw

72
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,840
the poster and I did exactly what we just did, right.

73
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:32,960
I laughed at the name. I saw a poster full

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360
of just like what could only be you know, slam

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,960
and brittle death metal bands, right, And I don't know

76
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,439
if it was the very first one that had guttural

77
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,319
slug headlining who I would talk about a little bit

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,319
more later on, but I took notice of a couple

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,800
names that are on there, and I was like, oh cool,

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
you know, a brutal death metal all day a thing

81
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,560
popping up in It was originally in Rebellion in Manchester,

82
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,319
which is the exact venue basical the way you'd imagine

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,639
like something like that would exist, right. I think Rebellion

84
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:58,960
is something like three hundred cap It's where I go

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,599
to a lot of my you know, small underground type

86
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:04,319
shows in Manchester, and I kind of I've watched it

87
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,599
from afar the last few years, and something that's happened

88
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:10,520
with it where I had to really start checking in

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,639
and paying attention because in a pretty small amount of time,

90
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,879
right again, the fourth year of the event running this year,

91
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:21,560
it has grown far far more than I think you

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,800
would have put money on a small startup brutal death

93
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,759
metal event based in Manchester would do right. So I

94
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,480
got invited to attend this year and I was like, again,

95
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:36,560
I've been watching this from afar. I am genuinely curious

96
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,879
and impressed by what they're starting to build over there.

97
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,079
So I came along. It's now in a venue I

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,319
think it was upgraded. It was so I was like

99
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,199
I said, started in Rebellion, then it was going to

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,319
move to the Breadshed. It's ended up going in a

101
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,000
venue which I'd never been to in my life before,

102
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,959
but a ven you called Boundary in Manchester, which I

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,920
believe if anyone has been to the Manchester Punk Festival

104
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,639
that I know bands like Mensingers and so and have

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,000
played that event in the part. Again, I've never been there,

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,480
but I was told that it's the same venue where

107
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:12,000
that takes place, which I went in and I was like, yeah,

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,519
I could imagine Manchester Punk Festival taken here for a

109
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,319
brutal death metal event, which is this is what awful

110
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:20,879
Fest is, right, alfle Fest is. It doesn't even summit

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,920
up to say it's a death metal festival because it's

112
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:27,600
not a death metal festival where you're getting Cannibal Corpse

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,879
and Obituary and you know, newer bands like Blood Incantation

114
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,920
or two Mold or whatever to that playing. This is

115
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,399
specifically brutal death metal and slam event, like we said,

116
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,800
one of those events where every band's name ends in

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,000
ectomy or toe me Me or idity like something like that,

118
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:52,360
and they all have you know, again that style, you know,

119
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,680
slam logo that we're we're talking about. This is a

120
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,480
niche within a niche within a niche, you know. Yeah,

121
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:01,839
And that is what made it so impressive to me

122
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,160
that they actually do seem to be building something and

123
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,079
having gone and attended it, that's genuinely the vibe I

124
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,279
picked up. It's the venue again, I'm not sure of

125
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,800
the exact capacity, but it's somewhere in the region of

126
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,839
perhaps a thousand or a bit under now boundary, which

127
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:23,199
four a full on like the absolute that. I'll tell

128
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,920
you the headliners of the festival. One of them was

129
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,519
meant to be Development, who unfortunately had to pull out,

130
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:29,160
which I'll talk about in a little bit, but one

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,839
of them is meant to Development. The other day was

132
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:34,680
I think a co headline between a band called Regurgitation

133
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:36,720
and another band who people may have heard of if

134
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,560
they're just outside of that niche as a band called Faultcy.

135
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,920
And again those are like the peak of the what

136
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,279
this vent, what this festival has currently been able to

137
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,480
you know, book in a like in a pipe dream world.

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,399
Basically the absolute biggest band in the specific style of

139
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:56,839
death metal that they you know, function in would be

140
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,959
if they booked Suffocation or Dying Fetus or perhaps perhaps

141
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,360
of Catalty Capitation or something like that they have like

142
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,399
Skinless last Yeah, skin Skinless have headlined it in the past, right,

143
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,439
So again the biggest bands that you can pull from

144
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:18,040
the specifically brutal death metal you know, sub category and

145
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,519
subniche of it. So like I'm saying, a niche within

146
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,279
a niche, but getting that to a point where it's

147
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,199
now in a you know, approaching something like a thousand

148
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,360
capacity venue is pretty crazy. I don't know if it's

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,839
been done before, at least in this country in terms

150
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:38,000
of again catering this specific kind of music to something

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,000
like that, and it is starting to Like I said,

152
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,319
when it's first started up, it was like a you know,

153
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,959
an all day thing in Manchester. Now it has grown

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,439
to I guess technically three days. I went along for

155
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
the Saturday and Sunday because the Friday we were sort

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,959
of like you know, labeled as like a pre show

157
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,319
type day. But it's still a three day event really,

158
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:57,519
and people are you know, traveling in from at least

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,160
across the country for it, and it's starting to position

160
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600
itself as like, yeah, if you if this is your niche,

161
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,839
then this is the event that you're upon hear, that

162
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,959
you're gonna be wanting to go into. So I'm fascinated

163
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,120
and like thoroughly impressed really, Like I'm always impressed by that.

164
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
I've said that's about events like Fortress at anytime, you know,

165
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,480
an event starts up catering to something that no one

166
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,879
would tell you is commercially viable, and they succeeds with

167
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,759
it and they managed to make it work and they

168
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,759
do it the right way, which again you know, community

169
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:30,480
organized and all this kind of stuff, Like I am,

170
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:34,320
I'm always like buoyed by that. So I guess I

171
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600
wanted to again just talk a little bit about this

172
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:38,799
sort of thing appearing that has been going around, you know,

173
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,279
long enough at this point to start saying like you're like, yeah,

174
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:44,000
this is a legitimate staple in the calendar at this

175
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,200
point in time if that is your niche. And again

176
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,080
if you are observing from kind of outside it and

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,919
you didn't realize how large a draw because again basically,

178
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,120
all the bands on this festival, a couple of them aside,

179
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,720
aren't bands that we've ever spoken about in a you know,

180
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,799
reviewing capacity or you know, in our clerbal or anything

181
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:03,600
like that. So if you were to look at this

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
festival poster and you're not in that niche, you wouldn't

183
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,519
know anyone. So to go, this is like again actually

184
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,320
like pulling into numbers, right, I think is again a

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,159
great testament to what it's doing. And again immersing myself

186
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:20,639
in the the vibe of awful fest For the weekend,

187
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,799
they had you know, their their own festival brewed original beer,

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,080
right as many festivals do, the kind of you know,

189
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,519
partnership thing. It was called cavity fluid, and I was

190
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,519
drinking a couple of pips of that stuff going around

191
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,799
and just again fully immersing myself in the you know,

192
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,000
the specific again niche brutal death metal culture. I love

193
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:46,600
observing things like at any again kind of boutique festival

194
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:49,480
that I go to, whether it be the black metal

195
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:52,840
side like a Fortress, or you know, the hardcore side

196
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,600
like an Outbreak, even a straight up more old school

197
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,240
classic death metal festival, I would be expecting to see

198
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,559
vinyl everywhere. Slam and brutal death metal is not a

199
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:06,840
vinyl culture. I saw maybe one for sale the entire weekend. Instead,

200
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,840
ced bins everywhere, mounds and mounds and mounds of brutal

201
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,960
death metal and slam CDs, like that's the medium for

202
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,200
that specific thing, and everyone's like going buy your CDs.

203
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,159
It's like it's the genuine again, the medium of choice

204
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,519
for this specific subculture. And when I was looking around

205
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,480
again the area it did feel like this, you know,

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,559
built by brutal death metal people for brutal death metal people,

207
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,320
their own sort of mini you know city, if you like,

208
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480
of a mecha of all of this kind of stuff.

209
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,200
I'm not going to go through and review every single

210
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
band I saw, because with something like off the Fest,

211
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:47,320
it is it is a musically monotonous festival, Like you

212
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,440
have to very much get that in mind. We are

213
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,600
talking such a specific subcategory of brittle death metal that

214
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:56,679
obviously people who are going to this love that thing

215
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,960
and lap it up and are very excited about all

216
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080
these different bands who are playing. But to describe again

217
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679
how every single band kind of played, it's a real,

218
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:06,840
I don't want to say, an endurance test, but it's

219
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,039
like you have to put yourself in the mindset of,

220
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:14,039
you know, appreciating just gutta or blasting violence for you know,

221
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:14,919
two to three days straight.

222
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: No. Yeah, it's a more extreme version when I go

223
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,639
to like my pure hardcore festivals and it's like, yeah,

224
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:19,480
that's a hardcore band.

225
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: That's a hard band, that's a hog band.

226
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: But this is like draining version of that, because you

227
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:27,039
are just going to be like ahead by just the

228
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,840
most relentless blasts and like toilet vocals.

229
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know if you're if you like relentless

230
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,519
blast and toilet vocals, then there was certainly more than

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,240
a healthy yeah, more than a healthy healthy of them.

232
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,120
And you know, the majority of the bands that I

233
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,519
saw were you know, pretty pretty great and pretty reliable

234
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,240
you know, providing that thing. The very first band I

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,519
saw all weekend was a band called strangle Wire, and

236
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,679
they were actually maybe one of the more slightly classic

237
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,559
death metal leaning out of all the bands who were

238
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,120
on the bill, and from there it just got again

239
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,399
like more, more and more blasty and gutta role and

240
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,600
you know, sloppy and all that kind of stuff. Lots

241
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:02,840
and lots of like this song's from an EP called

242
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:07,559
repeatedly over the weekend. It's like, yeah, cool, I'll look

243
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,039
that one up later, I'll check it out. But it

244
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,279
was a really really fun time again being there the

245
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,799
whole weekend, whole environment. I saw some of the bandshe

246
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:18,919
I do want to kind of specifically call out my

247
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,919
favorite band on the Saturday. So the first day that

248
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:25,879
I was there was a band called Butcher EBC who

249
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,559
were a gorgrind band who had come over from Japan

250
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:30,360
for it, which is the other thing, like they're not

251
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:34,399
just booking local bands, they're flying bands in right and there.

252
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:36,320
I think there was at least two or three bands

253
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,559
coming from Asia and Butcher ABC coming from Japan. Having

254
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,919
that gor grind edge there again, they were surrounded by

255
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:43,919
a lot of like you know, brutal death metal bands

256
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,320
who were pretty relentlessly you know, blasting that kind of affair,

257
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,159
having that gorgrind edge where there's a little bit of

258
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,200
punk and a little bit of crust it like it

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320
gave their riffing like a different kind of feel. I

260
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,360
particularly want to point out that, you know that a

261
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,039
Japanese gorgrind band, the Japanese, they're gonna they're gonna put

262
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,240
some effort in to a little bit crazy with it,

263
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,639
you know what I mean, And they're just going to

264
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,519
have this like, you know, fucking maniac vibe coming off

265
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,720
of it. And a band called Butcher ABC is absolutely

266
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:11,639
the band that you would go to see with that

267
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:16,159
and the front man he had a gas mask on.

268
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,399
Speaker 2: That was this band.

269
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: One of the sickest things. They had a gas mask on.

270
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,399
But if you imagine the sort of you know, the

271
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,360
mouth whole vent thing that you have on a gas mask,

272
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:32,200
this guy's microphone he didn't have a mic stand. His

273
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,600
microphone was just connected plugged directly into the mouthpiece of

274
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,600
the gas mark. So as he was walking around, he

275
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,879
just had his his mic permanently attached to the front

276
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,879
of his face. And this is crazy work. This is

277
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,799
unbelievable that such a sitting visual. It was awesome. And

278
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,519
he also he was wearing a bloody like Butcher's apron

279
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,480
as obviously Butcher ABC is going to do and on

280
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,440
his blood the butcher's apron. He had the slayer shon

281
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,720
o mercy goat sewn into his apron. This is this

282
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,200
is exemplary form.

283
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,799
Speaker 4: Like, this is exactly how its to be done. This

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,080
is perfect the Butcher's like apron. And the gust was

285
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,960
that that's so like Japanese splatterpunk and all. Yeah thing

286
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,080
it's given that exact vibe. I mean, that's really cool.

287
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,519
Speaker 1: So they were wicked Ford and Again my favorite band

288
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:24,559
I saw on the first day. The first day was

289
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,360
the day that Development were meant to headline, who were

290
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:28,960
certainly the band who I most wanted to see because

291
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,799
development of the again, the niche and the type of

292
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,159
death metal, the offul first book. Development are one.

293
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:35,039
Speaker 2: Of the transcended.

294
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they're one of the pioneers. They're, you know,

295
00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:40,559
arguably the pioneering band of like slam there's like a

296
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,679
sub sub you know, niche genre. They're one of the

297
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:44,840
most legendary bands, and they just put out that EP

298
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,039
a couple of weeks ago, which is fucking sick as anything.

299
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,159
So I was really excited to see them. Unfortunately, like

300
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,919
maybe twenty four hours before the Friday, the first day

301
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,919
of the event. They had to pull out because they

302
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,279
had like visa rejection stuff, which was a real shame.

303
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,600
And they have said that going to try and get

304
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,320
development back for next year, which would be great, but

305
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,519
just in terms of again giving the festival, it's props

306
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,440
any scenario like that were suddenly organizers having lost the

307
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,279
biggest band on their lineup twenty four hours where it's

308
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,480
meant to begin, have to like you know, pull something

309
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,320
out of the bag. I have massive respect for that.

310
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,639
And they ended up I know that they you know,

311
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,080
they said that they have like went around and asked

312
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,559
various bands if they could do be a replacement headline

313
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,200
at this kind of thing, you know, twenty four hours.

314
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,759
No one was really available to them to do it.

315
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:30,080
But they end up getting Regurgitation, who, like I said,

316
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440
were I think, you know, they're a band from America,

317
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,039
so they'd flown in. They're also one of the older

318
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,279
bands on the lineup like that. Their first record is

319
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,799
in like the late nineties, so they are more of

320
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:42,360
a heritage band compared to you know, newer upstarts. But

321
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,679
they were playing on the Sunday. They basically got them

322
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,000
to play sets on both days, so they were around

323
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:50,120
and they filled in playing on the Saturday as well,

324
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:52,399
And like I said, just you know, any scenario like

325
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,440
that where you have to go to you know, panic stations,

326
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,799
I'm always you know impressed, and I think it's worthy of,

327
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,840
you know, tipping the hat for when something like that

328
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,960
is produced. So and you know, fair play of Regurgitation

329
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:08,799
as well for playing double sets on both days. Again.

330
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,360
Their album is called Tales of Necrophilia from the late nineties,

331
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,840
and it's got this proper like I always like when

332
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,159
you look at a brutal death miericle from that era,

333
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,159
and it's got some really grotty hand drawn cover art

334
00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:24,519
as opposed to like the more digitally painted sort of

335
00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:26,320
stuff you get in the twenty first century. I think

336
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,120
it looks cooler, and they've got one of those. Bizarrely,

337
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,840
I thought they were gonna do they have a Suffocation

338
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,600
cover on one of their one of their releases, and

339
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:35,399
I thought they might do that. Instead they went nowhere

340
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,480
in England, we're gonna cover Black Sabbath for you, and

341
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:40,679
they ended their set with a cover of Into the Void,

342
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:43,759
but I cannot tell you which obviously, I mean, that's

343
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:45,600
my favorite Sabath song. I'm having a good time to it.

344
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,480
But I always find specifically brutal death metal bands covering

345
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,759
something like Sabbath or even you know Priest or anything

346
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:54,600
old like that is such a hilarious switch of their

347
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:59,039
vibe because they don't swing in the way that bill

348
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,919
Ward swings. I mean, so you suddenly again you've got

349
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:05,319
non stop, relentless blasting and Gutta Rules and then you've

350
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:11,160
got that band going. But you know, sure it was

351
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,880
a fun way to in the first day. The second

352
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,799
day had a good handful of you know worthy bands.

353
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,839
I want to mention gutter All Slug, who, like I said,

354
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,000
were one of the headliners of one of the first

355
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,240
like either the first year or the second year of

356
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,400
Awful Fest. And that was the thirstie that I paid

357
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,880
attention to because Gutta All Slug. Myke like this again

358
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,720
the slam scene and this kind of again really undergradar

359
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,839
aple death metal scene. It is something that I enjoy.

360
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,759
I like it the best bands in the genre. I

361
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:44,240
will always have a place for my time of like again,

362
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,559
listening to every single new band I came across in

363
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,519
this kind of style, I sort of really peaked with

364
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:53,039
it around like twenty thirteen ish, and then again I

365
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:55,720
went and found more like, you know, the more the

366
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,920
other side of underground death metal. That's maybe more where

367
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,279
I live, you know today. But around that point in time,

368
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,000
around twenty thirteen ish, there was a handful of albums

369
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:08,400
that came out that have kind of gone on to

370
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,279
be like some of the you know, kind of scene

371
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:14,079
cult classics. So you had like the the Abominable Putridity

372
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,599
album that came out around there, and you had like

373
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:20,160
the first Catalepsy album, and you had Megalodon by Guttural Slug,

374
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,839
which is a nineteen minute it's like this label as

375
00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:26,920
an album, but it's nineteen minutes long, and one of

376
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,680
the songs on it is a cover, so it's basically

377
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,720
like a you know, a mini album EP type thing.

378
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,279
But when I was again sort of you know, sixteen

379
00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:35,839
seventeen years old and I was this his bands, that

380
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,440
was one of the things that you know, came out

381
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,279
around that time, and it made its mark with me,

382
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:43,799
and I used to listen to this like again utterly putrid,

383
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,400
stinky but vocal slam record that's again it's like nineteen

384
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,680
minutes long, so you can play it all the time.

385
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,039
I used this dot a lot, and when I saw

386
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:55,160
that gutural slug we're headlining one of those early editions

387
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,799
of off of Fest, I couldn't believe it because A,

388
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:01,160
I'm pretty sure that whatever that show was was their

389
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:05,160
live debut, like basically like ten years part of a

390
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,519
real galibrat situation, right, like basically ten years past the

391
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:12,400
Megalodon record coming out. I was like, ten years later,

392
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:15,200
what do you mean there's so much demand and love

393
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,920
for that ratty ass album that I used to listen

394
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,799
to that you're coming back and you know, making your

395
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:26,200
live debut headlining again like a slam all day type

396
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,960
of event. I was like, this is awesome, Like I

397
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:30,039
love that they're still around and people have, you know,

398
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:31,960
you still like you know, have a place in their

399
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,079
heart for this and that, and then you know, coming

400
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,559
back again for this one. They had some tech issues

401
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:38,759
and stuff, so they only got to play like a

402
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:42,519
twenty five minute set, but they were fucking great because

403
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:45,640
they gen I'm gonna say they had like riz compared

404
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,599
to most of the bands who were playing, Like the

405
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:51,880
stage presence of these guys, YEA, you know it's not

406
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,319
fucking David Lee Roth, right, but like you know, they

407
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,759
were you know, throwing themselves around and getting people to move,

408
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:00,400
and the singer was getting people to you know, bouncing

409
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,119
all this kind of stuff. And when they played one

410
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,000
of the songs, they played Hack Saw Surgery, which is

411
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,799
one of the songs from the Megalodon EP. I don't

412
00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:12,359
know if these were band provided.

413
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: I want to ask about this when I saw the

414
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,759
video as well.

415
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if these were band provided, like

416
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:20,680
I know, hate Breeds balls or whatever, or if people

417
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:22,559
or people have brought them specially for it. But as

418
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:24,880
soon as they started playing a song for the Megalodon record,

419
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,880
all over the crowd, these inflatable sharks started getting thrown

420
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240
and flying around, and like, either way, I I hope,

421
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,920
you know, it's fun either way, but I do hope

422
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,039
that the people just brought it because if it's again,

423
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,000
the idea that the Megalodon record has in this like

424
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,160
cult cult scene garnered such a beloved and there were

425
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,319
people singing along to fucking Hack Saw Surgery around me.

426
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,839
The idea is garnered such a reputation that people know

427
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,079
when to whip out the inflatable plastic sharks for where

428
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:57,359
they're playing it and they had like Megalodon hot sauce

429
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:01,839
at their merchstad as well. This is amazing, this is

430
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,359
so great. I'm annoy This guy played a little bit

431
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,200
earlier before I managed to get there, but I wanted

432
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:13,319
to see as well. There was an artist called Lympho Edema,

433
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,319
which is a one man Irish gore noise project, so

434
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,200
literally one bloke on stage, not playing an instrument, just

435
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:24,640
you know, jumping around doing doing gurgly toilet vocals with

436
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:28,759
a really fucking noisy, you know, musical backing trap thing

437
00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:30,759
going on. And I saw some videos of him and

438
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,519
he had like a severed foot on a chain that

439
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:40,000
he was just dragging around the stage, swinging around his head.

440
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:46,759
Apparently he covered break stuff as well. Would have been

441
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:47,079
a lot of.

442
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: Songs you could have pulled out.

443
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,759
Speaker 1: I wish i'd have seen that. That sounds like a

444
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:55,920
lot of fun. But I was talking to one of

445
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,960
the organizers at the festival afterwards and they said like,

446
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:03,240
apparently that's the largest venue a gore noise artist has

447
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,839
ever played in, and I was like, you know what, again,

448
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,160
it's not it's not Wembley Arena, but I can believe it,

449
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,240
and that's pretty incredible that like, you know, something like

450
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:14,279
that that is the most again like silly, obscene, extreme

451
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,920
kind of vibes. You can imagine it's been able to

452
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:20,200
brought forward to this. I mean like similarly, during Gutterall Slug,

453
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,400
there was a in sort of you know the other

454
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,720
front of the stage where there's like a sort of

455
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,839
disabled you know, there are a beep of people with

456
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,559
a wheelchairs quatching from the side. It was a great

457
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:31,799
bit when an amputee was just waving his prosthetic leg

458
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:34,680
around during during Gutterall Slug. I was like, these people

459
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,519
they know have to to you know what I mean,

460
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:42,160
like they know that the occasion demands. There was a

461
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,240
brittle up a band called Epicardiectomy. There. Singer had one

462
00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:48,960
of the craziest mullets I've ever seen, but again full on,

463
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,319
full of mullets, lamb vibes. He looked like an electric

464
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,599
core boy. But if he wasn't wearing a wig, you know,

465
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,559
like that's the exact picture that was that was going

466
00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:58,039
on there. But I also want to mention, of course

467
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,480
the bandy closed the festival. The head line they're on

468
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:05,160
the Sunday it was Faultchy who are I'm going to say,

469
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,200
of all the bands I've just listed, maybe the band

470
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,079
who if you have a casual interest in death metal,

471
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,000
you might recognize that name somewhere around there, and not

472
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,240
just because it is also the name of Italian horror

473
00:23:16,279 --> 00:23:19,000
film director. Of course, all of their you know, songs

474
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,079
in subject matter is all based around that kind of realm.

475
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:23,839
They are Italian and they have like I don't think

476
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,599
we've spoken about them on the show, weirdly, but they've

477
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,480
become like pretty popular. They're probably the most like the

478
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,839
breakout brutal death metal band.

479
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: They've crossed over to my like again, even beyond me being.

480
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: A fan of Faulty's movies, Like they kind of came

481
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,880
onto my raid and I was like, oh.

482
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: This is cool death metal. I like, yeah. I think

483
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:48,079
that they're more on the level of bands like, you know,

484
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,319
the Maggot Stump bands like two hundred, Stab Wounds and

485
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,359
Frozen Soul and these kind of bands who are kind

486
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400
of yeah yeah, and they do have a bit more

487
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,559
in common with that sonically as well. Which again, after

488
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,559
a weekend of like full on again real brutal death metal,

489
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:03,799
it was cool hearing a band like go a little

490
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:05,759
bit more mid pace a little bit more stompy, getting

491
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:07,480
a bit more groove in it, you know what I mean.

492
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:10,759
But they were also the band who having you know,

493
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:13,559
played some larger tours and stuff like that. You could

494
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:15,680
tell that was a bit more going on with like

495
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,559
the stage presentation and stuff like that because they intro

496
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,880
their set with a I think they have some kind

497
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,160
of like short film or something that's been produced like

498
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,079
for them, which is basically an original like faultchy style

499
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,480
horror movie. Like it's like it's it's you know, made

500
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:35,599
and released now, but like visually and I was watching

501
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,279
it and I was like, all the hallmarks there. You've

502
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:40,480
got like the CPR toned flashback at the beginning with

503
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,759
people like knocking a hole in a wall and looking

504
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:45,759
at what like horrible putrid things being you know, found

505
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:49,559
behind it. You've got like the the eyebel gore and

506
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:51,279
all these kind of like you know, the kind of

507
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,119
you know, the film stock that it's that it's done on.

508
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,400
It made me smile a lot, and this was the

509
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,799
set that you know, as a like a huge fan

510
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:03,319
of both death metal and not just horror movies, but

511
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,559
specifically like, Yeah, is one of my favorite directors It's

512
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:11,640
a perfect cross breeding of my you know, my interests,

513
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:12,960
and this was the set that, at the very end

514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,759
the weekend just had me going like I love this shit.

515
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,160
I love death metal, I love horror, I love seeing

516
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,119
a band do. They've released a record called duck Face Killings,

517
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,240
which is all based around the New York Ripper movie.

518
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,319
I like again on the screens the video showing like

519
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,880
really nasty scenes from the New York Ripper, which is

520
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,119
like one of the again most upsetting, fulchy movies, but

521
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,359
doing that with like fucking lyrics coming up on the

522
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:42,920
screen as well, and doing like really uh heavy, sadistic

523
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,279
kind of death metal with this. It all worked together

524
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,480
and they were a very fine end to the occasion.

525
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,759
So a really good time off of first and like

526
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:54,160
I said, I mainly come away impressed with They announced

527
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,960
a whole lot of bands for next year's event as well.

528
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,559
I haven't got the full list of them in front

529
00:25:58,559 --> 00:25:59,480
of me, but it was like a full on you know,

530
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:01,319
like when you go Toloodstock or Fortress or something and

531
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:03,240
they have the video screen where they're like after a

532
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,279
certain band. They announced loads of things for next year

533
00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:07,720
and that's like, you know, ten or twelve bands or

534
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,440
something like that, and there is a level of I

535
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,559
imagine compared to when you know, the first of this ran,

536
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:15,759
there was a level of sort of professionalism to how

537
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:19,160
this you know ran and appeared and everything that I watched,

538
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,599
The thought, you know, fucking good for you, Like, you're

539
00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:22,759
making a really good go of this, of turning this

540
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,319
like very niche, extreme substyle of music into like a

541
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,039
gathering for people, you know. And I came away impressed

542
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:33,160
with the again the sort of the scale of what

543
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,359
they're doing, how it's being run and carving out that

544
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,839
niche for themselves. So obviously it won't be for anyone,

545
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,359
but if you are at all interested in, you know,

546
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:48,240
the world of the absolute sloppiest toilet slam that you

547
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,839
could want to want to hear, the novelfess is becoming

548
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,039
you know, a real like hub of it. And I

549
00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:58,400
think it's a very good thing that we've got something

550
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,319
like that. It's always good when again, a niche like that,

551
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,960
whatever the niche is, is having something of you know

552
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:05,279
that again level of professionalism kind of catering to it.

553
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,240
So perhaps off to him. Good stuff. Let us go

554
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,400
into the news for the rest of this show now,

555
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,119
and we have to obviously shift hones quite drastically because

556
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:21,200
last Friday, as last week's shows UH went out, we

557
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,000
got hit with a piece of news that I think

558
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,640
all of us were hoping we wouldn't have to get

559
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,799
this soon, because we obviously knew that Luke Colla from

560
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:35,400
Sick of it All was ill and he had been

561
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,200
for you know, a year, eighteen months something like that.

562
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:41,240
But I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say

563
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,559
that we were so hoping that he would pull through

564
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,359
and that he would would would beat the cancer that

565
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,039
he was suffering with. But last Friday we got the

566
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:54,440
news that he had passed away. And this is the

567
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,920
loss of a truly global icon for the world of

568
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,279
hardcore and even beyond that.

569
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's Sick of it All did to put hardcore

570
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,000
on the map in the nineties, like like cannot be overstated.

571
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,279
And Lou Colla just I said, like the discord when

572
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,400
this happened, like maybe the greatest hardcore from man ever,

573
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,000
Like what like everything you would want the guy front

574
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,240
of a hard fan to be Lou Colla was that

575
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,240
I saw sick for a few times and always just

576
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,799
untouchable lives bringing the best vibes but just sounding so

577
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,599
intense and like like like hardcore sort of like swagger

578
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,319
and aggression, but positive vibes. And and I said, like, yeah,

579
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,880
when we were all hoping, you know, Paul through and

580
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,319
all that, and when it when the news sort here,

581
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,839
I was just like this one, this one crushes, Like really,

582
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:55,000
this one really hurts because just when the guys and

583
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:58,119
again you see all the outpoms of tributes and everyone

584
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,559
has a good story to tell about Luke, and again

585
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:03,720
it's so it's something we have to do this again

586
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,920
when we talk about these these legends that were just

587
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,480
so beloved that everyone has some story about how.

588
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: You haven't heard a bad word about Luke Colla ever, Yeah.

589
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,559
Speaker 3: But everyone has got their story about how Luke Colla

590
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,680
basically gave their band a leg up and put and

591
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:20,839
helped establish them and he was just sort of advocate

592
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,160
for everything I love.

593
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:24,559
Speaker 2: About hardcore and the community around it.

594
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: I mean again, like the step Down music video and

595
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,319
how that changed the game and how that kind of

596
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:32,119
opened the world of mo washing to so many people,

597
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:36,240
where you had this video highlighting these specific hardcore nis

598
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,359
and washing, but it actually like got people going, oh shit,

599
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,839
that's what this is it And I say it changed

600
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,000
the profile of hardcore.

601
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:46,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like we we love sick of it

602
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:48,920
all right, Like we were speaking earlier this year on

603
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,880
the nine in ninety seven special we did about Built

604
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,680
to Last, What a great what a great record that

605
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,079
is like their first you know, four at least albums

606
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:02,519
are all time classics of hardcore punk. You have Built

607
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,440
the Last that we said that we have Scratched the Surface,

608
00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:08,559
which is their you know, biggest breakthrough moment before that,

609
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,440
you have just look around and you know, Blood, Sweat

610
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,759
and Notice, which is the one of the finest hardcore

611
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:18,680
albums of the late eighties, one of the defining albums

612
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:22,720
of New York hardcore as a movement, you know, and

613
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,799
then again they make several more on top of that.

614
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,799
And this is the extent that you know, when when

615
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,440
Luke Cola was first you know, announced that he was sick,

616
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,079
they pulled off of the Damnation lineup that they were

617
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:35,000
going to be on and they were going to be

618
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,400
performing you know, the thirtith anniversary of Scratch the Surface,

619
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,319
and we got Discharge in that slot instead, and we

620
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,640
do our like Damnation kind of album club thing often

621
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,759
before Damnation's rolling around, and I had ear marked Scratch

622
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:49,000
the Surface, like I'd held off on Scratch the Surface

623
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,839
for two years past that point because we were so

624
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,640
hoping that we could get that return show of them,

625
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,480
you know, once he's better coming and filling that slot

626
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,359
that they were meant to do and giving us set

627
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,119
like that, And you know, I'd reserved to Scratch the

628
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,960
Surface album club for when Sick of it All were

629
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,799
able to return to the stages where they belong. And

630
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,400
it fucking sucks so bad that, you know, we've not

631
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,480
been able to do that in that way, But I

632
00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:21,960
would argue that, or at least imagine that throughout the

633
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,039
decade of the nineties, no band and no one person

634
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:31,680
as the voice of that band introduced more people to

635
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:35,599
hardcore than Lou Collar and Sick of it All, whether

636
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,519
that is being arguably the first, certainly the most to

637
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:44,799
that degree hardcore band riding out outside of just their

638
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:48,559
local clubs and their local niche to fly the flag

639
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,279
for that music on the biggest stages that they feasibly could,

640
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:53,640
like being one of the first hardcore bands to play

641
00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:57,799
major rock festivals, and you hear like stories.

642
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:00,039
Speaker 2: Of their like legendary reading like nice.

643
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they played it a load of times. Yeah, but like.

644
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,039
Speaker 2: Then a real legendary on work, and they were like replaced.

645
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,319
Speaker 3: They were like stepping in because limb Biscuit pulled out

646
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:09,200
or something, and it like.

647
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:12,599
Speaker 2: That, holy shit, this band.

648
00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:18,799
Speaker 1: And you can there are There's no better way in

649
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,640
that moment in time, in that era to be to

650
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,519
have your eyes open to the world of hardcore than

651
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:25,960
by seeing a sick of it all set right who

652
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:31,519
all throughout their entire career were a legendarily brilliant live band.

653
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,000
And then of course there are you know again things

654
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,519
like you're saying, like the step Down video and they're

655
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,559
punching through into you know, like again mainstream media to

656
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,720
some degree. And one of the things that I love

657
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:44,680
about step Down as that kind of again as their

658
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,200
biggest song, it's like you say, it's got the video

659
00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:49,960
that is for many people basically their first introduction to

660
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:52,960
what a hardcore show looks like, yeah, and what are

661
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,240
the practice of a show like that? But also it's

662
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:58,160
their biggest song, it's their breakthrough into the mainstream media.

663
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,720
And the chorus is in the ununderground integrity lies within,

664
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,240
like it's just it's it's an anthem for the scene

665
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:11,039
where they've came from, and for not courting the mainstream

666
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,279
in any way that would at least be you know,

667
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,480
trading your own values, you know, like you only go

668
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,720
there if you can be the you that you always

669
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:25,599
would be anyway. And there is something so brilliantly, you know,

670
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,480
empowering and truthful about those kind of lyrics, and that's

671
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,319
true for basically every song Luke Collar ever wrote lyrics for,

672
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,240
you know, those lyrics of unity and community, and you know,

673
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:39,880
all those things were him for him, were true because

674
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,200
he lived it right again, these these ideas of treating

675
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,559
everyone respectfully, of uplifting your community, all these kind of things,

676
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:48,400
these are all the things that come through in every

677
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,440
story that we've heard about Blue Collar for the last week,

678
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,640
and certainly you know before that as well. So none

679
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,839
of that you know idea in the lyrics when you

680
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,960
hear them, is in any way inauthentic, right, Like, it's

681
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,079
it's absolutely true to who he was and who they

682
00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:10,239
were as a band, and you because of that, on

683
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,119
top of the quality of the music they made, you

684
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:19,840
could not ask for a better band to be the

685
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:23,159
get the head of the battering ram for hardcore and

686
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,239
that the representatives for that entire subculture.

687
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

688
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 3: Again, it was just like it's that whole thing like

689
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,639
being as real as it gets from the culture but

690
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,480
avoiding the kind of like negative sort of things that

691
00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:38,159
come with thatt as well, and always kind of uplifted

692
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:42,960
despite being true to the underground of ideals of hardcore.

693
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,639
And it just like meant like whenever you saw like

694
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,880
civil there was no elitism, there was none of that

695
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,400
kind of vibe to them, but it was just kind

696
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,440
of like, we're all in this together, let's.

697
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:52,519
Speaker 2: Fucking take on the world.

698
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,559
Speaker 3: And it just meant it was just such a like

699
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,480
joyous sort of thing, like Sick of All shows like

700
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:58,840
the Times of Some was just some of the most

701
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,159
joyous hardcore shows to go to because it was just

702
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,480
everyone going absolutely mental, jumping on each other's head, swinging

703
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:06,760
fists like well like when when when they drop its

704
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,719
clobbering time. The fists are flying, but it's still all

705
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,119
in unity and that's what I love a hardcore and

706
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:14,559
Sick of All well just the best at showing that

707
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:17,519
no matter what venue size they were playing, where they were,

708
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:19,920
it was always just the coolest thing.

709
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw Sick of it All a few months

710
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:27,800
before Lou Colla announced that he was sick and came

711
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,079
off the road, right. This was that sort of May

712
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,039
ish of twenty twenty four, And by the end of

713
00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:35,679
that year they again they were not on the road,

714
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:39,079
and I had not seen Sick of it All at

715
00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:41,760
that point in time. And it was the the thirtieth

716
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,239
anniversary Scratch the Surface tour. They played you know, most

717
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,159
of that record and then a bunch of other songs

718
00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:50,840
as well, and they were fucking fantastic, as I'm sure

719
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
they were at every single show they played, you know,

720
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:56,000
prior to that date. This was just my chance to be, like,

721
00:35:56,039 --> 00:36:01,000
they're there in my vicinity, I'll do it. And I

722
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:05,639
feel so so happy that I did, right, that I

723
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,320
took that opportunity when they were near me to go

724
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,840
and see them, because that was the last opportunity that

725
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,719
I was going to get to see Sick of it All.

726
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,599
And I think, you know, there's a lesson there when

727
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:19,320
you see some of these bands who are you know

728
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,639
that maybe their bands who even if you've not seen

729
00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:23,840
them before, they might always seem to be around, right,

730
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,760
So you go, oh, I miss them this time, I'll

731
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,360
catch them the time after. Sometimes you're not going to

732
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,000
be able to. And if I had passed up on

733
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,320
that Sick of it All show, then I would be

734
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,880
here right now saying, oh I never got to see

735
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,360
Sick of All. I wish I had, And I will

736
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,760
hold onto that one show that I got at the

737
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,159
last possible moment where it was available to me as

738
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:45,159
just a brilliant testament to not only Sick of It

739
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:47,480
All's powers, but just that idea, you know, in theory,

740
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:50,079
you know that you should shouldn't take these bands for granted,

741
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:53,079
that you should go out and see these artists when

742
00:36:53,119 --> 00:36:56,519
you know, are able to. Because I'm so so glad

743
00:36:56,519 --> 00:36:59,599
that I did. But yeah, I tremendous loss to the

744
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:05,679
heavy music community and Blue Collar a legend, absolutely like

745
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,519
one of the not just a hardcore legend, but I

746
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:10,239
think because of the way Sick of it All we're

747
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,079
able to bring that to so many people an all round,

748
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:19,639
you know. Yeah, TNM, tapestry, heavy music, guitar music, whatever

749
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,159
you want to call it, one of the one of

750
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:26,039
the greats. So rest in peace, Luke Collar, an absolute

751
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:27,159
hero for and through.

752
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't really adny More that that just sums

753
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,360
up and is just a huge loss of Yeah, rest

754
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:33,719
in peace.

755
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, And if you don't know sick of it

756
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,280
all and you've never heard those records any of that,

757
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,840
like again that that run of records they made from

758
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:42,360
the ladies and.

759
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: Going to the mid noughties, Death to Tyrants. That is

760
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,840
such a good naughties hardcore record, Take the Night Off.

761
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,320
It's one of my favorite sick of All songs.

762
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 2: Like that song has got fucking tracks on it.

763
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, great band, great guy, lu collar, Rest in peace.

764
00:37:57,119 --> 00:37:59,159
This should raise our spirits at the very least, we're

765
00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:01,559
gonna be on to new mus and what can we

766
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:04,840
do to do that? We can talk about Ben Sevenfold,

767
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:12,599
who surprise dropped an EP this week called statica following

768
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:15,480
up of course, the Life Is But a Dream album

769
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,440
released three years ago in twenty twenty three.

770
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: Eight only been three years.

771
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: A four track EP, it's about eighteen minutes long. This

772
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,039
band have lost the fucking plot. This is unbelievable.

773
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,639
Speaker 3: This is like I mean, like I was a hater

774
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,760
of Life Is But a Dream, So I like at

775
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,159
this stage, you know, I've not liked an Avenged Sevenfold record,

776
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,360
not loved one since like the early twenty tens, I've

777
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,599
not liked like housinging is decent, but I've been off

778
00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:52,440
on Avenge for a good while, and so I'm kind of,

779
00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:55,639
I guess a bit predisposed to be more negative to

780
00:38:55,639 --> 00:38:56,159
what they do.

781
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:56,519
Speaker 2: Now.

782
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 3: I think this might be the worst thing they've ever done.

783
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,559
I think this is abysmal in so many ways. And like,

784
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,960
here's the thing, right, I'm gonna go off on a tangent,

785
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,840
but I've seen no some of the defense of this

786
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,960
record is like, oh, it's experimental, Oh it's different, all that,

787
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,199
And I'm like, we've got to have higher standards because

788
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,679
for a lot of mil bands, being experimental is doing

789
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,039
electronical pop music terribly and then they get praised for it,

790
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,280
and it's like, you've got if.

791
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: You've gotta do it, do it well, like completely, Like.

792
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,599
Speaker 3: The Charlie XCX album that came out the same day, right,

793
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,239
that's her doing something a bit different for her. It's

794
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,440
her experimenting, but she's doing it well, and I'm like

795
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,760
that should be praised. We shouldn't just praise bands experimenting

796
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,119
when they're rubbish at it. We've got to have higher standards.

797
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:43,199
I'm sorry, I can't get on board with some of

798
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,280
the defenses I've seen thrown out.

799
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:48,159
Speaker 2: For this EP. I think it is unlistenable.

800
00:39:48,199 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like again X compaisons act because they both

801
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,079
like drowned in auto tune.

802
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: But I was thinking more about the strokes, So we're

803
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,679
not a bad I care about at all. But I've

804
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,840
just observed some discourse at the strokes of RS's reason,

805
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,599
and everyone's complaining that Julne Casablancas basically sings the entire

806
00:40:03,639 --> 00:40:06,400
thing with like warbly autotune on. It's just a bizarre

807
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,559
sensations going around, And for me with avenge Is, I

808
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,920
to a degree, like a part of me finds immense

809
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,599
joy that this is what they're doing because it's so funny,

810
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,719
like this ep.

811
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:18,559
Speaker 2: It is funny.

812
00:40:18,559 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 3: There are things about this I have found hilarious and

813
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,639
kind of like I can get behind that for a laugh,

814
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:24,400
like some of the things we're gonna get onto and

815
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,239
the sort of follow.

816
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:30,039
Speaker 1: Up this ep made me howl at various points. Matt

817
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,599
is fucking terrible throughout the entirety of this, and you

818
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:36,599
can't tell if that's even you know, because of his

819
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:39,079
vocals or just what you know it's it's coming through,

820
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,199
but Matt being autotuned for the entirety of this basically

821
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:47,639
is so funny. And there's a it's the third song Rejoice,

822
00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:51,239
which has got this. I'll give them this one. That

823
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,639
song is catchy because it's so funny. This all around

824
00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:57,639
our people of the world, you drawers with this awful

825
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,000
like kind of you know, curmudgeingly rock griff going on,

826
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,960
with this auto tune balling going on. Is like, that's

827
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,599
the song on the EP that's trying to at least

828
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,199
be kind of funky and danceable compared to the rest,

829
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,960
which I don't know what they're trying to do, but

830
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,559
it's so funny to me, it's so rubbish. It's like

831
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:19,559
when you hear the absolute worst of the worst Megadeth song,

832
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:23,119
for example, and you're howling at a song like super

833
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:24,400
Collider or whatever because it.

834
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: Super Clyder sounds like good compared to this.

835
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but just that at least that one song. Maybe

836
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,400
there's some kind of ironic appreciation of me because it

837
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,440
just it makes me laugh so much. But this is

838
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,559
a calamity of an EP that even you know, life

839
00:41:40,559 --> 00:41:43,800
is but a dream. I know, obviously, a very divisive record.

840
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,920
There are people who love that record, we certainly know

841
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,199
at least one of them. But there are there are

842
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,559
people who love that record just as strongly as the

843
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,280
people who don't love it, you know, dislike it. But

844
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,119
I think even those people are struggling to come up

845
00:41:57,159 --> 00:41:58,599
with the defense for this. Because Life's But a Dream.

846
00:41:58,639 --> 00:42:03,320
I can at least vaguely appreciate the the tapestry of

847
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,119
it and what they're trying to go for this. And

848
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:06,800
one of the things that I, you know, didn't like

849
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:12,960
about that record is the idea that events unfold. They

850
00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:16,079
seem absolutely fucking fixated for some reason or like they

851
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:18,519
want to be daft punk so bad, like of all

852
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:20,719
the experiments that are on Life Is But a Dream

853
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,679
that to me sounded really fucking like, you know, already

854
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,320
out of date and hackneyed. Was some of the you know,

855
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,960
auto tuned, fucking French house like dart punk impersonation stuff.

856
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,119
The fact that that's the thing that they have like

857
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:36,639
decided to continue chasing right on the follow up EP

858
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,000
and go even further with it's so rubbish and it's

859
00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:45,280
so rubbish at it, But the idea that they have

860
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,960
of like this is how they you know, write the

861
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,639
future right like by by chasing that particular rabbit hole.

862
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,400
As funny as I find this ep, and I do

863
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,880
find it to be funny, and as a continuation of

864
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,920
Vice But a Dream, you can tell that, you know,

865
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,119
in some sense I do. I can applaud how little

866
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:08,679
shits they give about what people are wanting them to do. Right.

867
00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:14,519
But it has been considering there was so many years

868
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:16,719
before Life's But a Dream where they were working on music.

869
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,679
That record took a long time to arrive. Right. The

870
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,599
Stage turns ten years old this year, as we discussed

871
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,079
one episode not long ago, and I do like the

872
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:27,239
Stage obviously, that is the proggiest of their records that

873
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,920
they had made up to that point. So they were

874
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,360
already moving away from balls to the wall hard rock

875
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,599
heavy metal, right it's still got like songs, Yeah, well

876
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,000
there are moments on that like songs like Goddamn and

877
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,079
stuff where they are Those were essentially the last time

878
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:48,119
that Avenged wrote rock songs. And it being ten years

879
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:53,719
since Avenged have written a song that is at least

880
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:59,480
id identifiable as being you know, classic Avenge sevenfold. I

881
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:01,320
think the song Nobody from Life Buttuy and that was

882
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,880
the only song I liked on that record because it, again,

883
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,840
it sounded like Avenge To me, it sounded like a

884
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,079
continuation of the stage. But it been ten years since

885
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:12,639
they've essentially been a rock band like this. They to

886
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:19,440
me sound like they are so bored of being rock

887
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,800
band of N sevenfold, right, And on one hand, you

888
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,840
could maybe applaud that of being like, yeah, you know,

889
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,880
they're not doing something just because that's what they are

890
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,719
expected to do. They're following their creative passions or whatever.

891
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,239
But I think there also comes a point where it's like,

892
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,119
if you are, you know, multimillionaire rock band of N Sevenfold,

893
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,039
and you are one of the biggest metal bands of

894
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:40,719
your generation, your festival headliners to all of your rock

895
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,000
fans and stuff, and you sound like you would rather

896
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:49,320
be anywhere else but playing rock music to rock fans.

897
00:44:49,679 --> 00:44:52,960
It's like they what they've done with this is they've

898
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,400
already they're on a tour right now with Good Charlotte

899
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,679
co headlining, which I don't know how the fuck that again,

900
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,119
considering what I've just said, how is that a match?

901
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,079
This was already funny when it was just that they

902
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:05,039
were touring. Life is but a dream they were playing

903
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:06,480
with Good Charlotte.

904
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:08,639
Speaker 2: But they've got that one song together that's a banger.

905
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, but they have also now on this on

906
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,440
this tour, they've come out and done opening set for

907
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,360
themselves as STATICA, And.

908
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,199
Speaker 2: I quite like this.

909
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,159
Speaker 3: I think this is like the one highlight I can

910
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,039
draw from this whole thing is making Good Charlotte fans

911
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:25,559
watch this live.

912
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,519
Speaker 2: Is genuinely quite funny.

913
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: It is funny because you know, the Good Charlotte fans

914
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,079
don't want to hear that. The event seven Fall fans

915
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:34,000
don't want to hear that alone, the Good Charlotte ones.

916
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,559
But I just I don't know why they're there in

917
00:45:38,599 --> 00:45:42,239
the first place. Like if it has been ten years

918
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,239
since you have been interested in releasing a record that

919
00:45:48,159 --> 00:45:51,880
plays with at least the you know, the attitude and

920
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,400
the groove of a rock band, and you would rather

921
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,199
be doing anything else to the point that you are

922
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:03,199
releasing fucking god awful sort of again house inspired, I

923
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,320
don't know, prog electronics or whatever, instead of being a

924
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,679
rock band. Why are you even like you go and

925
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,199
do this as Statica. You know, like it sounds like

926
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:19,840
they are so done with the functions of right riff

927
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,280
based guitar music whatever you might want to call that,

928
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,960
And it just sounds to me like, I don't know,

929
00:46:26,039 --> 00:46:29,599
there's a weird fine line between like following your inhibitions

930
00:46:29,639 --> 00:46:32,159
and being a faith no more or someone and you know,

931
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,519
like breaking open the boundaries and then also just sounding

932
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:40,079
like you're fucking fed up with like and tired of

933
00:46:40,119 --> 00:46:44,159
having to do anything like that and somehow avenged to

934
00:46:44,199 --> 00:46:50,599
meet They sound so tired of having to be anything

935
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:53,320
but whatever the fuck they decided to do.

936
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 3: Now I sort agree that the most, Like I don't

937
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,119
understand how certain members of evenge can actually kind of

938
00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:01,960
be enjoying this creator as well, because like musically, for

939
00:47:02,639 --> 00:47:04,719
like you have a guitar vertress one like the sort

940
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,280
of modern legendary guitar players since the Gates, and he

941
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,280
is completely just like wasted on these z pieces and

942
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,760
maybe he is just fed up off, you know, ripping

943
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,639
out these like insane solos all like that. But like,

944
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,400
I don't understand how like the rest ofman can kind

945
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,159
of be creatively satisfied like like this to me feels

946
00:47:24,159 --> 00:47:26,519
like Match is his like brain child. He is like

947
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:29,719
the what like the mad scientists behind this or like,

948
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,039
and again I could be wrong, the whole band could

949
00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:32,840
be all in on this.

950
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,679
Speaker 2: Together, but again I just wonder.

951
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: I was like, what do you get sort of creatively

952
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,159
fulfilled from doing this at the.

953
00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 2: Same time, because musically it's not like interesting electronics.

954
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 3: The the small sort of shreds of like rock bands

955
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,360
ort of DNA still haven't there. The riffs are really

956
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,800
lumpen and like kind of like static and not interesting.

957
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:55,039
Speaker 1: That Rejoice riff is hilariously crap.

958
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 3: Like and they don't gel with the electronics side of

959
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,280
things at all. So I'm like, do you are you

960
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,559
doing this because you just want to do different? Or like,

961
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,360
are you happy that you are like one of the

962
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:04,960
like sort of the one great guitar players who can

963
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,039
be just completely phoning it in on some of the

964
00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:09,400
worst rifts you're gonna hear this year.

965
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: The whole thing just confused me.

966
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 3: And again I do think there is there is fun

967
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,639
to be had with like the idea of them playing. Also,

968
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:18,480
they're behind a screen so you can't properly see them,

969
00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:21,519
and it's kind of like trying to be like weird

970
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,599
and that being in front of like a good tile

971
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:27,280
at Evention World co headline that that's just a funny image.

972
00:48:27,679 --> 00:48:29,960
But at the same time, I think it's such a

973
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,199
one and done, like you've heard it now and like

974
00:48:32,639 --> 00:48:34,480
I've listened to the CV twice and on second now

975
00:48:34,519 --> 00:48:36,880
because I get nothing from going back to this. It

976
00:48:37,039 --> 00:48:40,280
like the novelty wears off before you finish your first listen.

977
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,960
And again that's why I just think this defense of

978
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,559
it's experimental just it just doesn't hold hold hold any

979
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:48,199
war to me, it's one of the worst things I've

980
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,480
heard here, maybe the worst it, like I think is abysmal.

981
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's one of those amazing things that

982
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:56,320
when you say, you know, multiple members of the band

983
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,159
to evolve with this, it amazes me that they all

984
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,159
left to get out in this state, I suppose, because

985
00:49:02,199 --> 00:49:07,480
you would think at least one person in this very talented,

986
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:12,599
you know, professionally seasoned group of studio musicians would go,

987
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,159
are we sure about this? This sounds like bollocks exactly,

988
00:49:16,199 --> 00:49:19,320
like are we sure we're going to put that autoto

989
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,639
vocal out there? And this production mess and all of this,

990
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:28,000
and it's it staggers me the again, the lowering of

991
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:30,800
the standards that seem to have happened at the same

992
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,800
time that the you know, the freethinking this or whatever

993
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,320
you want to call it in the music that's being

994
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,880
made has kind of, you know, gone the other way.

995
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:44,000
But I, like I said, it's all well and good

996
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:47,159
to be, you know, chasing your creative dream and doing

997
00:49:47,159 --> 00:49:49,800
whatever you want. And I would never say not to

998
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,039
do that, but I think it has reached a state

999
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,280
other end where they so clearly do not care about

1000
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:02,199
us as rock fans and as a rock community. I

1001
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,360
suppose because they're not interested in making that kind of

1002
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,480
music that why should we especially care about them? Right?

1003
00:50:08,519 --> 00:50:10,760
I'm just saying that that two way relationship of them

1004
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,840
having gotten bored with us and severed the ties, I

1005
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:17,679
salute them, and I laugh at what they're doing and

1006
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,039
go you. Mainly, I listened to Trashed and Scattered the

1007
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:21,599
other day because it just came on and I was like,

1008
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:24,079
fucking hell, what an amazing song. This band used to

1009
00:50:24,119 --> 00:50:28,000
be so great. And the idea that like the biggest

1010
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,800
metal band of their era basically has ended up at

1011
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,639
this state utterly adrift where only the most mental people

1012
00:50:34,639 --> 00:50:38,760
in their family still like them is you could never

1013
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,480
have written it like it, truly has surprised us all.

1014
00:50:42,519 --> 00:50:47,480
But like I said, if they care so little about

1015
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:51,480
appealing to what we think, right, that's fine, But also

1016
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,920
why should I care to follow them? Right? So that's

1017
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,519
I think with this, maybe they'll fucking shut me up

1018
00:50:57,559 --> 00:50:59,440
next time, and I sure hope they do. But with

1019
00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:01,440
this following the last album, that's kind of where I'm

1020
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,480
at with Avenge. So there you go, other new music.

1021
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:06,920
I guess you could be excited by a Tuniaomi solo

1022
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,920
album if you're not interested in whatever the hell Avenger

1023
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,800
they're doing. He has got it's his first solo album

1024
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,159
in like twenty years. Right, We've had a you know,

1025
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,880
Black Sabbath albums in that time, two of them if

1026
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,480
you count the Heaven and Hell record as a Black

1027
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,800
Sabbath album. His last one's in two thousand and five.

1028
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,480
This one is called from the Dark and it is

1029
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:28,519
going to be coming out later this year October the

1030
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:30,559
twenty third. There's a song out from it as well,

1031
00:51:30,559 --> 00:51:32,280
called World Alone. And I will say this song where

1032
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,960
obviously it's a you know, it's an aging, you know,

1033
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:41,159
solo you know rock record from you know, a star

1034
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,679
of Obviously, obviously we're never going to be not interested

1035
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:46,159
in not applaud Tony Iomi. But you know what I mean, right,

1036
00:51:46,199 --> 00:51:48,360
this isn't you know it's a It's a solo record,

1037
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,079
is what it is. Yeah, I will say this song

1038
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,800
is better than some of the ones that I checked

1039
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,519
out when we did our Sabbath special and you'll be

1040
00:51:57,559 --> 00:51:59,960
doing like weird post grunge records with Glenn Hughes and stuff.

1041
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:02,280
This song is better than that. But the lineup on

1042
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,360
this he's joined by across the album the Norwegian vocalist

1043
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,800
Yan Lander, who is one of those guys who he

1044
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,280
sings on everything like he's never There's no album that

1045
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,639
I could name or even a project where I go like, yeah,

1046
00:52:15,639 --> 00:52:18,039
I'm a fan of that with Yorn Lander on it,

1047
00:52:18,599 --> 00:52:20,559
but he's just everywhere, Like he's one of those like

1048
00:52:20,679 --> 00:52:23,599
for higher rock guys who's just always around. Yeah, but

1049
00:52:23,679 --> 00:52:25,920
he suits it well enough, so he's the singer on it.

1050
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:30,599
There's also Becky Baldwin on the bass, who has been

1051
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,679
playing with the you know, the most recent touring incarnation

1052
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,519
of Merciful Fate. Right, she's a younger, younger player, but

1053
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:41,519
she's been Merciful Fates recent bassist and a drummer called

1054
00:52:41,679 --> 00:52:48,679
Carl Brazil who was played with Feeder, James Blunt and

1055
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,559
Robbie Williams. Tony Iomi has gotten the first procedurally generated

1056
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:57,760
album lineup. How do we get those people the game?

1057
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 3: Can he hooks up with that drummer when he did

1058
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,119
the thing.

1059
00:53:03,039 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 2: That I didn't imagine that you imagine that song.

1060
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,159
Speaker 1: He was a song with Robbi Williams, You having a

1061
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,440
Mayde hit the nail on the head. That that is

1062
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,840
a good shout. And Becky Baldwin is you know, again

1063
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,760
a talented metal for higher player who can be evolved

1064
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,360
with this kind of stuff. But there is now one

1065
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,800
degree of separation between the Robbie Williams band in Merciful Fate.

1066
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,760
Somehow through this, like I said, the first randomly generated

1067
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,800
album line up of players, and one of them is

1068
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,800
called Carl Brazil.

1069
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: What a name.

1070
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, but yeah fits as well though just having this

1071
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,880
when when we do through the store of those save

1072
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,119
of lineups and yeah, that special.

1073
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:42,599
Speaker 2: This just feels so unbrand.

1074
00:53:42,599 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: At the same time, Bev Bevan will have some symbol

1075
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,639
overdubs somewhere on this record. I can guarantee that. And

1076
00:53:48,679 --> 00:53:50,280
there was also on the US it front, What a

1077
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,079
week for it? A debut single released by one Sherry

1078
00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:58,400
Moon Zombie, wife of Rob Zombie, met because she was

1079
00:53:58,639 --> 00:54:01,360
a dancer in you know his you know stage show

1080
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,039
in the late nineties. Most commonly known to Rob Zombie

1081
00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:09,760
fans through his movies because she has starred in some

1082
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,800
role or another in basically every movie he's ever made.

1083
00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:16,400
And I can speak as against someone who has seen

1084
00:54:16,679 --> 00:54:19,119
the majority of Rob Zombies' movies, if not all of them,

1085
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,199
and follows that again that kind of horror culture and everything.

1086
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,760
A lot of people fucking hate Sherry Moon Zombie like

1087
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:31,000
they treat her like NEPO wife essentially, right. You know,

1088
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:32,400
Rob Zombie loves his wife.

1089
00:54:32,679 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 2: He's a wife guy.

1090
00:54:33,639 --> 00:54:37,039
Speaker 1: He is sure that he puts his wife in everything

1091
00:54:37,039 --> 00:54:40,920
he's ever made. And people go, oh, she's absolutely talentles

1092
00:54:41,039 --> 00:54:42,960
she's a terrible actor. I can't believe I have to

1093
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,679
watch Scherry Moon Zombie and another Rob Zombie film whatever,

1094
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,280
and there's always, you know, some trace of misogyny going

1095
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,079
on with that, I find. But I can just imagine

1096
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:54,159
what those people are saying or thinking when they saw

1097
00:54:54,199 --> 00:54:57,079
this headline of Shery Moon Zombie's song. I am always

1098
00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:00,800
quite endeared to Sherry Moon Zombie because I mean, I

1099
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,000
think she's genuinely good in the Lords of Salem. I

1100
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:05,880
think that in you know, I like her in the

1101
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:10,679
Firefly Family movies, where again, her mad kind of cackling

1102
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,440
demeanor that she brings. That is one of the things

1103
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,800
about those movies that has become iconic and you wouldn't

1104
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,920
imagine it without them. Is she always good in everything? No?

1105
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,039
Not really, but again, you're signing up for a rob

1106
00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:24,159
Zombie movie. You're signing up with the whole cast of

1107
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,880
characters in the family right that you go into. So

1108
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,400
I'm always again and I like that they just are

1109
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,280
creative partners in this way, like it. So I think

1110
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,760
it's just very wholesome and very endearing. But this song

1111
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,920
I called I Love My My Zombie. No, sorry, I

1112
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,960
Love my Robot. Yeah, I have just put zombiere because

1113
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,199
he name Zombe, isn't it. But no, I Love My

1114
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:46,280
Robot is a It's an anti AI song. The chorus

1115
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,840
is like, a I don't need that wherever the fuck

1116
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,559
she says, and it's all about her being like I

1117
00:55:50,599 --> 00:55:52,719
write my own lyrics all this kind of stuff, and

1118
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,119
I support the sentiment. I don't know if this song

1119
00:55:55,239 --> 00:56:00,960
is a good argument in favor of human creativity. The

1120
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,239
song to really put it to the robots how much

1121
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:06,239
he can do.

1122
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I am sympathetic, like and I get behind

1123
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:13,760
the sentiment.

1124
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, like the idea of like this

1125
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,519
can like kitchy, Like that's a thing with the chill

1126
00:56:18,599 --> 00:56:22,039
in the channel that they're hitting with what like robs

1127
00:56:22,039 --> 00:56:23,159
On shiming somebody's.

1128
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: Kind of whole brand is so I can I can

1129
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:29,280
get behind that. It just is really bad. It's not good,

1130
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,480
like that's for trying. Like it's clear that like be

1131
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:35,559
that again. I think there is that there is like

1132
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,239
passion as going into this.

1133
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't think this is kind of like a throne

1134
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,239
to thing that that they're just doing it like that

1135
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,599
they like she clearly wants to have a music cred

1136
00:56:44,639 --> 00:56:46,800
to go along with some like he think he shot

1137
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,880
the video and for her and all.

1138
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 2: That like fair enough, Like there is a definitely cleverative effort.

1139
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,119
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just gotta, you know, say, when something is terrible,

1140
00:56:54,159 --> 00:56:56,400
and this song is terrible.

1141
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: And sometimes you just have to have a laugh at

1142
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,440
a very silly piece of a beauty which is what

1143
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,079
we are doing here, not so sillily. Let's get onto

1144
00:57:04,079 --> 00:57:08,159
something a little bit more serious. Neurosis their first show

1145
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,800
back since their entire you know, sort of re getting together,

1146
00:57:13,519 --> 00:57:15,840
you know story that they've gone on this year. Fire

1147
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,840
in the Mountains Festival was this past weekend, which included

1148
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:23,519
the live debut of the New Look Neurosis. I watched

1149
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,000
you know, someone had filmed the whole set and they

1150
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,400
looked fucking great, like Aaron bringing this, He brings this

1151
00:57:29,639 --> 00:57:34,480
really violent physical presence into the center of the stage,

1152
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,639
which I think is, you know, something that they needed

1153
00:57:36,639 --> 00:57:38,960
to have. It's you know, someone bringing that in the

1154
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,760
band in this incarnation, and it looks fucking brilliant. They

1155
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,320
played the setless consisting of most of the new album

1156
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:49,800
and also the Tide from a Sun That Never Sets

1157
00:57:50,159 --> 00:57:53,719
Lost from Enemy of the Sun, Distill watching the Swarm

1158
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,639
from Given to the Rizon and Ends of the Harvest

1159
00:57:56,719 --> 00:58:00,760
and Times of Grace both from the Times of Grace album.

1160
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,880
Fucking great show looked like from again the New Look Neurosis.

1161
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,360
So we can only dream that they will know they

1162
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,320
have announce obviously a couple more shows in the US,

1163
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,119
but we can continue to dream that they will spread

1164
00:58:12,159 --> 00:58:14,119
their black wings across the rest of the planet. But

1165
00:58:14,159 --> 00:58:18,360
they go Neurosis have fully fully arrived into gear. Faith

1166
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,599
No More's first showbacks have been announced. They are going

1167
00:58:21,679 --> 00:58:26,239
to be happening in Australia alongside System of a Down,

1168
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,320
which is a bit strange because I can't imagine the

1169
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,199
faith they More, even in their returning form, are as

1170
00:58:31,239 --> 00:58:33,519
big as System of Down, because System of Down are

1171
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,440
one of like the genuine mega superstars of like you know,

1172
00:58:36,519 --> 00:58:39,840
they play stadiums wherever they go. Right again here in

1173
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,159
the UK, they brought out Queens of the Stone Age

1174
00:58:43,159 --> 00:58:46,760
download festival head binding band themselves as their hour set

1175
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,480
support band. You know, so I maybe they're gonna out

1176
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,880
of pure reverence and you know, probably a topic of

1177
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,039
the hat for again, what faith they More did to

1178
00:58:58,719 --> 00:59:01,199
maybe allow a band that System Down and you know,

1179
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,559
noting the significance of their return everything, maybe it will

1180
00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:09,320
be Builds the co headline, but in actual pure number ways,

1181
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,119
it's hard to imagine this being an equal co headline.

1182
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:15,039
But there you go. In January and February they are

1183
00:59:15,079 --> 00:59:17,679
playing four dates Faith in Them All with System of

1184
00:59:17,679 --> 00:59:19,480
a Down And just as I said, for neurosis. We

1185
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,239
keep our eyes peel to see where they will go next.

1186
00:59:22,639 --> 00:59:26,719
Across the world. Ministry are winding down. They are doing

1187
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,360
one last album called Hate to Go, Takeout or Delivery,

1188
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,599
and a farewell tour that has included some UK dates

1189
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,000
announced as well in April of twenty twenty seven. So

1190
00:59:39,039 --> 00:59:41,039
if you've not yet seen Ministry, I saw them at

1191
00:59:41,039 --> 00:59:43,280
a bloodstock last year and I think that's probably my

1192
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,400
Ministry fixed. I don't necessarily feel grand need after that

1193
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:50,760
to go out and you know, see more. But if

1194
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,679
you haven't yet had that fix, just one fix, which

1195
00:59:52,719 --> 00:59:56,039
I would recommend, lease you do it once, then April

1196
00:59:56,159 --> 01:00:00,199
is the time to do it. Nails they say this

1197
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,039
year when they were trying Creator, they said we're going

1198
01:00:02,119 --> 01:00:03,920
to be back later in the year, and they are

1199
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,280
back in the UK. They are doing a October tour,

1200
01:00:07,559 --> 01:00:11,920
bringing Rotten Sound and Invunch with them, and they are

1201
01:00:12,039 --> 01:00:15,239
playing in the UK two dates in London. The first

1202
01:00:15,239 --> 01:00:18,760
one in the New Cross Inn is already long sold out,

1203
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,719
but there is so quickly yeah, but there is now

1204
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,000
another London date added in the larger venue of the Scala.

1205
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,639
They're also playing Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, and I'm

1206
01:00:29,199 --> 01:00:31,800
annoyed about this because they're playing Manchester and I will go.

1207
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,639
Of course, this is fucking great, but I'm annoyed that

1208
01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:37,199
that extra London date of the Scala has fucking Wolf

1209
01:00:37,199 --> 01:00:39,199
Brigade added onto that bill and none of the rest

1210
01:00:39,239 --> 01:00:41,000
of the UK dates do, because that would be a

1211
01:00:41,079 --> 01:00:43,159
perfect pairing for me. That's ideal.

1212
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good time.

1213
01:00:44,519 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: And I'm putting I missed on getting for the Nu

1214
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,760
Cross INChO because he just sold out like I was

1215
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,880
that Fanny thing and then sort of like I'm probably gonna.

1216
01:00:51,679 --> 01:00:53,559
Speaker 2: Have to go to that Scala show. But so Wolf

1217
01:00:53,559 --> 01:00:55,000
we gave would be a fun time as well.

1218
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,119
Speaker 1: Wolf again and Rotten Sound and Advunch as well.

1219
01:00:58,199 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good package.

1220
01:00:59,559 --> 01:01:02,199
Speaker 1: That's gnarly time. So I am very jealous of the

1221
01:01:02,239 --> 01:01:05,519
whole Wolf Brigrade thing. But Nail's UK tour come around anyway.

1222
01:01:05,679 --> 01:01:08,280
Good stuff. And we're gonna end off the news with

1223
01:01:08,719 --> 01:01:12,519
two stories of member departures from bands, and I think

1224
01:01:12,559 --> 01:01:15,400
both of them are quite interesting for different reasons. The

1225
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,960
first one is the one that I am more fucking

1226
01:01:20,079 --> 01:01:26,639
disgruntled about. Andy La Roche, the longtime legendary league guitarist

1227
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,320
of King Diamond's band, has played with many many artists

1228
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,159
over the year as well. He is generally one of

1229
01:01:33,159 --> 01:01:37,199
the all time great metal lead guitarists. Like he's one

1230
01:01:37,239 --> 01:01:38,800
of those people where if anyone taps him for a

1231
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,840
guest solo, they fucking sing to the heavens about it

1232
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,039
because it's the perfect thing that you could, you know,

1233
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:48,400
imagine to nab. He again played on all of the

1234
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,320
classic King Diamond records from you know, the eighties and

1235
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,280
so on. He has announced that he has departed the

1236
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,920
King Diamond band. He is going to be continued playing

1237
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,480
with his other projects that he has, but he is

1238
01:02:02,599 --> 01:02:06,119
no longer in King Diamond's band. He has been replaced

1239
01:02:06,599 --> 01:02:11,960
by an old acquaintance of my mister Gus g former

1240
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,760
guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne's band, also of the power metal

1241
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,840
band fire Wind. He is now in the band with

1242
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,360
King Diamond, which he's a very fine guitarist. But losing

1243
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,800
Andy la Roche. Not only is this momentous in terms

1244
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,480
of like this is generally when you think of the

1245
01:02:29,519 --> 01:02:33,440
classic great you know, frontman and lead guitarist pairings in band,

1246
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,840
obviously it's a very heavy metal equivalent. It's not exactly

1247
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,320
fucking Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, you know what I mean.

1248
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,800
But Angela Rock and King Diamond, who have done all

1249
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,559
those records together, is one of those perfect pairings that

1250
01:02:44,599 --> 01:02:46,280
produced so much great work. And I thought it was

1251
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:47,440
still a great thing that when you go to see

1252
01:02:47,519 --> 01:02:49,760
King Diamond live, you get to see aler Ope there standing,

1253
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:54,960
you know, right hand man doing those fantastic lead guitar

1254
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,159
parts that he does on this thing, and I think

1255
01:02:57,159 --> 01:02:59,079
it's sad that that's no longer the case. But the

1256
01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:01,840
thing that really gets my goat about this is the

1257
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,880
fact that that long awaited it has now been at

1258
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,079
least six years or so since it was announced King

1259
01:03:08,159 --> 01:03:13,440
Diamond album has still not surfaced, and it's gone for

1260
01:03:13,519 --> 01:03:15,880
so long that Andy La Roak is now no longer

1261
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:19,679
in the band. And when they have announced gus Gee's appointment,

1262
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:21,920
the statement is like, we can't wait to hear you

1263
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,039
know what gus Gie is going to bring creatively to

1264
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,440
new music and all this kind of stuff. And there

1265
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,840
were two songs that have been released King Diamond singles,

1266
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,039
both great songs. Which is annoying about this because I

1267
01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:35,239
wanted to actually hear the fucking album, right. But if

1268
01:03:35,239 --> 01:03:39,079
this album has taken so long, a lot of people

1269
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:41,159
are theorized maybe Andy's gotten fed and up of you know,

1270
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,280
fucking not actually releasing any music or whatever, so he's

1271
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,880
gone through his projects that do release music. But if

1272
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,199
this album has been so long in the making that

1273
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,800
they end up not even using, it ends up not

1274
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,599
being a fully andula roque, you know, written and performed record.

1275
01:03:55,639 --> 01:03:59,480
It ends up being either entirely overwritten or some weird

1276
01:03:59,519 --> 01:04:01,960
half and half mishmash of like old Angela Ropue material

1277
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,559
and then the new gust g material. I wanted this album,

1278
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,639
and I long accepted by this point because it's been

1279
01:04:07,679 --> 01:04:09,039
a few years. I was like, Okay, when it comes,

1280
01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:12,760
it comes. But now, having lost the legendary guitarist where

1281
01:04:12,719 --> 01:04:15,079
I wanted to be on that fucking album, I'm like,

1282
01:04:15,239 --> 01:04:17,920
why couldn't you put that album out before and left

1283
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:18,639
the band? You know what I mean?

1284
01:04:18,679 --> 01:04:21,639
Speaker 3: Yeah again, I'm not as in depth into the whole

1285
01:04:21,719 --> 01:04:22,280
king diamond.

1286
01:04:23,079 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm more invested in this than you.

1287
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:25,639
Speaker 2: I don't, I know.

1288
01:04:25,679 --> 01:04:27,719
Speaker 3: He's obviously been like the iconic tach so long, and

1289
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,239
it is it is frustrating when like this, it feels

1290
01:04:31,239 --> 01:04:33,159
like it might be tied to this album situation, and

1291
01:04:33,159 --> 01:04:35,800
now the createstal prose to the album is even more

1292
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,920
fragmented that you don't know, are you going to get

1293
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,440
the definitive version of what that album was intended to

1294
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,519
be or this like sort of Frank and Sione, I

1295
01:04:42,519 --> 01:04:44,519
can see if you are deepen on the Kingdom of thing.

1296
01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:47,960
This is a real like frustrating, like frustrating kind of

1297
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,880
like twist in the event.

1298
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it presumably postpones the album even further, so

1299
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,000
it's it's probably never going to come out, That's what

1300
01:04:58,079 --> 01:05:02,039
I think, Like, I think it's probably come out. That's

1301
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,639
such a fucking boner killer. But there you go. Andela Roquat,

1302
01:05:04,719 --> 01:05:08,880
King Diamond, Gus gi In and very weirdly, Viaters Murder

1303
01:05:09,639 --> 01:05:13,199
have appeared on stage with another new front man, their

1304
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,719
vocalist of the last three years, Tyler Miller, the guy

1305
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,880
they got to replace c J. McMartin at the end

1306
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,480
of still one of the craziest stories and sagas that

1307
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,719
we've watched unfold during the course of this decade. But

1308
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,119
he has been there for three years now. Unbelievably, I

1309
01:05:30,159 --> 01:05:34,119
saw VIA's Murder live on the Parkway Drive tour that

1310
01:05:34,159 --> 01:05:37,760
they did with him at the front. And while the

1311
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,960
last album got I think completely subsumed really by all

1312
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,559
of the drama that surrounded it. I thought the show

1313
01:05:45,639 --> 01:05:47,320
was good when I saw them with him, right, But

1314
01:05:49,239 --> 01:05:52,840
no statement or anything has been made here. It seems

1315
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,360
to have you know, you can only assume looking at

1316
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,239
some of the behind the scenes stuff and you know,

1317
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,320
people un following people on Instagram, and it was kind

1318
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,559
of shit that people have to you know, drag out

1319
01:06:01,559 --> 01:06:05,400
to make judgments on anything that it doesn't look especially

1320
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,519
friendly right now, but that guy Tyler Miller has not

1321
01:06:08,639 --> 01:06:11,480
appeared with them, and instead they have another new frontman,

1322
01:06:11,719 --> 01:06:16,079
a guy called Jerry Grimefeld, who is an Australian rapper

1323
01:06:16,239 --> 01:06:18,679
as well as a death metal vocalist. I presume that

1324
01:06:18,679 --> 01:06:20,480
he's not going to be rapping so much in in

1325
01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:23,239
Thiot's Murder, although of course rhythmic control at high speed

1326
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,119
is important. But yeah, weird that they have gone through

1327
01:06:27,519 --> 01:06:30,280
another frontman here and Thyat's Murder, and maybe maybe they

1328
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,320
put out a great album at some point that writes everything.

1329
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,360
But as much as we applauded how that entire CJ

1330
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,840
situation kind of went down and how they ended up

1331
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,960
handling like fucking the heist of the century, right, what

1332
01:06:41,039 --> 01:06:43,480
they managed to do it was ununbelievable, and they managed

1333
01:06:43,519 --> 01:06:46,039
to maintain their kind of you know, personal standards while

1334
01:06:46,159 --> 01:06:51,360
while doing so. It does feel like momentum has taken

1335
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,920
a knock, isn't it with this kind of stuff?

1336
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 3: Just I mean, it feels that the deaf core landscape

1337
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,960
has changed so much in the last couple of years

1338
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,440
as well, where that kind of like twenty ten's Guard

1339
01:07:01,519 --> 01:07:04,280
of Bands have kind of like fallen by the way

1340
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,280
so a little bit. And again, mate, like just because

1341
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,480
the kids want the symphonic Death Corps stuff now or

1342
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:12,719
like the real like myspaces or throwback stuff, Lars Murder

1343
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,159
kind of sitting between, and so I wonder just if,

1344
01:07:15,199 --> 01:07:18,159
like where they actually fit in the kind of current

1345
01:07:18,519 --> 01:07:21,119
landscape of what death core is. And perhaps this is

1346
01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:23,239
just kind of like a good opportunity for them to reset,

1347
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,079
to kind of like draw a line under everything that's

1348
01:07:26,119 --> 01:07:29,400
happened before and be this new bias.

1349
01:07:29,159 --> 01:07:31,159
Speaker 2: Murder and they're gonna come back with a really good aldpotentition.

1350
01:07:31,239 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 3: But is it does just feel like for the last

1351
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,760
couple of years, they've kind of they felt just weirdly

1352
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,840
absent from the sort of like death core discussion and

1353
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,159
general like world of that sort of thing.

1354
01:07:43,159 --> 01:07:45,159
Speaker 1: Yes they have done, but there you go. That is

1355
01:07:45,199 --> 01:07:48,920
the week in news. Over on the last Patreon, I

1356
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,960

We're going to be talking about some of the mad

1370
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,520
shit that's happened in the last few months since we've

1371
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,159
not been doing these A little movie you might have

1372

heard of Record Obsession. We're going to be talking about

1373
01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:38,000
the the latest Evil Dead movie that came out touching

1374
01:08:38,039 --> 01:08:40,960
based on a couple other things as well, and the

1375
01:08:41,039 --> 01:08:42,920
most recent thing that we have up there. If you

Corn That Special, The completed four part Corn Band Special,

1378
01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:51,479
one of the single most influential things to happen to

1379
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,279
heavy music ever. We went in depth on all of it,

1380
01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:59,840
every album they ever made, every bizarre collaboration, every impact

1381
01:09:00,079 --> 01:09:02,600
we could think of on pop culture and the world

1382
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,159
around them, all wrapped up in a neat little bow

1383
01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:07,039
at the end of the last episode. So if you

01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,439

01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,840
this podcast if you dreamed of doing so as well.

1388
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,359
So thank you to everybody who gets involved with that.

1389
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,359
Let's ent today's show with the release round up two

1390
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,399
weeks worth, because last week was our reviews bag where

1391
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:28,520
we spoke about the likes of Loathe and the excerpts

1392
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:33,239
and Muse quite divisive again, you know, interesting to maybe

1393
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:36,439
dissect some of the places where we're not entirely seeing

1394
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:39,479
eye to eye with the creative vision. I suppose of

1395
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,039
some of these records. I hope that everyone's taking that. Well,

1396
01:09:42,039 --> 01:09:44,520
maybe some people haven't, But there you go. That is

1397
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:49,039
all again in last week's episode. But we have some

1398
01:09:49,119 --> 01:09:50,960
releases from last week that we didn't talk about to

1399
01:09:51,039 --> 01:09:54,319
mention here as well. Where would we be if we

1400
01:09:54,319 --> 01:09:57,279
weren't mentioning the fact that Water Parks have a new album,

1401
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,439
Their album Jinx is out of last week we also

1402
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,720
had speaking of I Guess Better pop punk No Pressure.

1403
01:10:06,159 --> 01:10:08,760
That is the more hardcore gess of potpunk band fronted

1404
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,279
by Parker Cannon, isn't it from Yes? Yeah story he's

1405
01:10:12,279 --> 01:10:13,359
a pretty good thing about this record.

1406
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like it's one of the few good

1407
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:17,479
pop punk hams. It was surprise drop, so I like

1408
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:21,680
it kind of just came out of nowhere. Yeah, it's

1409
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,159
there's a good thing where all the good pop punk

1410
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:25,479
bands are kind of like hardcore Jason somewhere at the moment,

1411
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,279
and yeah, this is just more actual good pop punk

1412
01:10:28,279 --> 01:10:30,479
and not the wet water Park shite.

1413
01:10:31,199 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: Yes, album is called NP Style. Then there is the

1414
01:10:35,279 --> 01:10:39,199
you know, sort of Mongolian you know, folky metal flash

1415
01:10:39,239 --> 01:10:42,680
rock band The Who. Then an album called hun Mad

1416
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,239
Ball New York hardcore legends. We may have lost sick

1417
01:10:45,239 --> 01:10:46,920
of it all, of course, but there are still some

1418
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,880
of these bands out there, these legendary names, still holding

1419
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,800
it down. The new mad Ball record called Not Your Kingdom.

1420
01:10:52,199 --> 01:10:54,119
I haven't checked out the mad Ball record yet, but

1421
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,720
any good sure like it.

1422
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 2: Is reliably like it's a mad Ball record.

1423
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 3: There's no surprises on but it also it just kind

1424
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,359
of hits the spot exactly how I want a mad

1425
01:11:03,359 --> 01:11:03,840
On record too.

1426
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun with it.

1427
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:09,399
Speaker 1: Yes. Then in more kind of psychedelic doom territories out

1428
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,279
on Sergent House, I believe there is resin that's ore

1429
01:11:13,399 --> 01:11:16,880
e z n with an album called Cycles in the

1430
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:24,239
Infinite Dream. Also in mad Scandinavian progue, I suppose there's

1431
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:29,640
a band called Yord Sioux with Pest Kroniker. Sure Norwegian progue.

1432
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,439
Like I said, there is a band from the underground

1433
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,399
called Sallow Moth who put out a record called Hydrophillis Brood,

1434
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,640
And I would recommend this to fans of, you know,

1435
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,600
progressively minded stuff coming out of the Death Underground. I

1436
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,079
would say, if you are a two mold fan, then

1437
01:11:45,399 --> 01:11:47,760
salow Moth is another name that you might be getting

1438
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,680
something out of and also a kind of surprise dropped EP.

1439
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,399
At some point in the last couple of weeks. Linnea Olsen,

1440
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:58,000
who is the front woman of the fantastic post metallic

1441
01:11:58,039 --> 01:12:01,239
post punk band Maggot Hut, who we've raved about on

1442
01:12:01,279 --> 01:12:02,920
this show before. Maggot Heart, seemed to be on something

1443
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,000
of a hiatus right now, but she did put out

1444
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:08,439
a kind of a solo EP under her own name,

1445
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,720
Lennea R. K Olsen called Perfect Wave, which again kind

1446
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,079
of raucous rock basically as how you would look at

1447
01:12:15,119 --> 01:12:18,600
that this week the thirty first, can you believe it sound?

1448
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,399
There's a five Finger Death Punch album out this week

1449
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,239
called Legacy. Once upon a time we could not move.

1450
01:12:25,399 --> 01:12:27,439
When there was a five Finger Death Punch album campaign,

1451
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,880
you would know about it. It's mad that there's a

1452
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,079
five Finger Death Punch album out on Friday and not

1453
01:12:32,199 --> 01:12:33,239
a soul has mentioned it.

1454
01:12:34,039 --> 01:12:36,159
Speaker 3: It's just like it's the same thing when they announced

1455
01:12:36,159 --> 01:12:37,880
it doing the O two arena on that too, and

1456
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,319
it's like a are there enough people who not named

1457
01:12:42,399 --> 01:12:44,760
Mark who care about five Finger Death Punch out there

1458
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:49,119
these days? Yeah, I'm sure I wonder what it will

1459
01:12:49,199 --> 01:12:51,640
sound like. Like, I'm sure will be full of surprises.

1460
01:12:53,079 --> 01:12:53,600
Speaker 2: Why bother?

1461
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean even the fact that it's called Legacy.

1462
01:12:56,399 --> 01:12:58,640
I had to be like, is this like another Greatest Hits?

1463
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 2: It was a great hittering when I saw but like

1464
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,520
it's got be that in it. Oh no, no, this is

1465
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:03,520
a new album.

1466
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: As far as I can tell us a new album.

1467
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,119
They go five finger death punch if you still care

1468
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:15,319
disfiguring the Goddess in our stupid death core electronically enhanced,

1469
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,399
I put that Bloom is the name of that record.

1470
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,840
More in the death metal underground, I would say that's

1471
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,760
where the stuff that I'm most interested in this week

1472
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,279
comes up from. There is a band called Nothingness who

1473
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:27,640
released a pretty good album a few years ago, again

1474
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,000
slimy underground death metal. This is the follow up to that.

1475
01:13:30,039 --> 01:13:34,960
It's called god Slaughter. In the really avant garde, dissonant

1476
01:13:35,039 --> 01:13:38,039
kind of end of underground death metal, there's a band

1477
01:13:38,079 --> 01:13:40,319
called Altage, who have you know again really several good

1478
01:13:40,319 --> 01:13:42,880
records in the past. Cogwheel is the name of their

1479
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:47,039
new one. Lipe Homer, the crazy gorgrind band, who we

1480
01:13:47,039 --> 01:13:49,000
were speaking about just at the end of last year

1481
01:13:49,039 --> 01:13:52,039
because we were speaking around them, Elliott brought them onto

1482
01:13:52,039 --> 01:13:53,960
the whole end of the year season we were doing.

1483
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,319
They work quick, apparently because they have another new album

1484
01:13:57,359 --> 01:14:00,520
out today called Infernal Wounds of Raven Flash. And the

1485
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,560
last live Pomer album that we spoke about was so

1486
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,560
full of fun, creative surprises for a gore grind record.

1487
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,560
I genuinely enjoyed that so much. I will be checking

1488
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,960
out the new one as well. I hope they play

1489
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,920
Awful Fest soon. I think if the any festival around

1490
01:14:16,279 --> 01:14:18,319
was going to book lip Pomer in the UK, I

1491
01:14:18,359 --> 01:14:20,279
saw a few shirts, Awful Festip be the place to

1492
01:14:20,319 --> 01:14:22,760
do it. That would be on my my dream, you know,

1493
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,880
booking wish list for that festival. So there you go,

1494
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,479
book lip Homer. And also in the gore grind world,

1495
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,359
there is a band who I have seen, a band

1496
01:14:29,359 --> 01:14:30,000
called Jigy.

1497
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 2: Have I seen Do we see these at London death

1498
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:33,399
they played?

1499
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 1: They played the UK death Fest.

1500
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen these. I recognize that. Have I seen

1501
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,520
this live? Yeah?

1502
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,279
Speaker 1: Daft gorgrind stuff. We did see them together. Their album

1503
01:14:43,359 --> 01:14:46,319
Jigoku is out. From the black metal world, there is

1504
01:14:46,359 --> 01:14:50,880
the long gooing controversial artist Tucker. His new album is

1505
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:55,920
called enskog av Nidstang. Then two EPs to mention. One

1506
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,479
is a metallic hark or EP from a UK band

1507
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,039
called Long Goodbye, called a whispered promise of Failure. They

1508
01:15:03,039 --> 01:15:05,039
are one of these bands who again, if you looking

1509
01:15:05,039 --> 01:15:08,840
around hardcore bills in the UK, you'll see they're brilliantly

1510
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,640
scrawled early two thousands type metal core logo that screams, hey,

1511
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,199
these guys probably enjoy a bit of normal gy or

1512
01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:17,720
early converge or whatever. I would probably enjoy that as well,

1513
01:15:18,279 --> 01:15:19,640
and you know, listen to a bit of this, I

1514
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:21,199
can confirm I think they're pretty good at it.

1515
01:15:22,039 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're another one there.

1516
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,399
Speaker 3: I put them in sort of the crow Quel level,

1517
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,479
like these are doing the sort of thing that like

1518
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,079
lots of mans are doing it out. But I think

1519
01:15:29,119 --> 01:15:31,680
longer I have a bit more going on in terms

1520
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,439
of like the song capacity that they're supporting like Guilt Trip.

1521
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,159
I think later this year like that that they're definitely

1522
01:15:37,199 --> 01:15:39,520
getting their name out there in terms of these metallic

1523
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,720
carc bands. But yeah, on the UK saw more promising ones.

1524
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and then also the experimental rock band Shieling, who

1525
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000
have put out an EP called Don't look at me

1526
01:15:49,159 --> 01:15:50,960
the way a dog might look at your leg.

1527
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 2: Cool.

1528
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: That is the release round up for this time. If

1529
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,199
you were one of the other people who was attending

1530
01:15:57,199 --> 01:15:59,359
Awful fift weekend, I hope you had fun and enjoyed yourself,

1531
01:15:59,399 --> 01:16:01,880
as I'm sure sure you did if you did attend.

1532
01:16:02,359 --> 01:16:06,199
We will be back next week with another hyperblast, as

1533
01:16:06,279 --> 01:16:07,880
I said. In the meantime, we'll be having our Arab

1534
01:16:08,039 --> 01:16:10,680
Club pack. We're gonna have Horror coming after that. We

1535
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,760
have all of our specials, so you cannot move for us.

1536
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,399
You do not have to look very hard as to

1537
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,880
find hours and hours and hours of T and M

1538
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,199
content that is out there. But we will be back

1539
01:16:20,199 --> 01:16:23,399
here on your main weekly feed next Friday as ever,

1540
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,720
so cheers for listening. We'll see then. Rest in peace, Loue.

1541
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,279
Collar in the underground. Integrity lies within forever and ever.

1542
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:33,760
Take that to heart, everyone,
