1
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to That's Not Metal, your

2
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:34,640
weekly rock, heavy metal hardcore podcast. Last week we had

3
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,920
a wee little tiny hyperblasting I just dipped into quickly

4
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,280
drop in the essentials before we went and did something else.

5
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:43,159
But this time we are back with a full length

6
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,479
proper I guess slightly less hyper than last time hyperblasts

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,240
obviously you know what that's meaning. Fuck the terminology. We're

8
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,479
here for the news show, and we've got quite a

9
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,159
lot of like pretty exciting news this time up. My

10
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,280
name is Paren Haish. With me returning, we've got Sam

11
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Digno on. Hello Sam, Hello, welcome.

12
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:02,399
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm back.

13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: I had, you know, a pretty excating reason to miss

14
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:06,760
last week's and as much as it was seemed to

15
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,680
miss out on that Roulette, like, I couldn't pass up

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,879
the opportunity to go and see the best live actor

17
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:13,879
I've ever seen again.

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, last week, which if you've been paying attention

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:19,840
to our you know, podcast feeds, you will have seen

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,040
pop up you know yesterday on the main feed, we

21
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,159
recorded an album Roulette, which I'll I'll talk a little

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,359
bit more out a little bit later. But Sam did

23
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:33,840
not appear on that album. Roulette because Sam, I cannot

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,519
believe that you chose to go and see Bruce Springsteen

25
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,719
over the opportunity to talk about some like jazz and

26
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:47,239
avant garde sort of noise. I cannot believe that that

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,280
is the way you went.

28
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: How shameful, totally against my character to do something like that.

29
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:55,319
But yeah, some of the things because I was going

30
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,599
to miss out on this Springsteen to this one because

31
00:01:58,599 --> 00:01:59,959
I was already doing a lot of other big show

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,719
was this summer, but like the week before when I

33
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:04,000
saw there was like a Reselle standing to get that

34
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:07,560
for Kualo miles, like quite a lot less than what

35
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,039
face value was. I was like, you know what, it's

36
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,840
a sign I gotta I gotta go do it. And god,

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,800
I'm glad I did because I said last year when

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,360
I saw Springsteen for the first time, it's the best

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,199
show I've ever seen.

40
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: This was that again, but better.

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: Honestly, Like, I think maybe there's some setless choices of

42
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,240
this time around that were like more interesting, bit more exciting,

43
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:29,240
But I don't know if it was the crowd was

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,039
like way more up for it.

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,319
Speaker 2: But there is.

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: Just something about Springsteen live like like it's still like

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,520
I say, it's the best sho I've ever seen again

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,560
either way like that, that's the sort of the simple

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,120
way to put it.

50
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:44,719
Speaker 2: But Springsteen live is just a magic experience.

51
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,599
Speaker 3: I think, like the amount of people who were at

52
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,680
that and came away saying like, oh my god, that's

53
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:51,639
the best I've ever seen is like everyone is just

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,159
saying it because he's just He's that damn good.

55
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: I guess what other you know, because obviously you spoke

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,280
at length about Springsteen last year. I guess what were

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,280
the key differences? I suppose, you know, changes, things that

58
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:05,360
were a little bit kind of you know, knew this

59
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:06,639
time out for him from last.

60
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: Time, Well, just he just mixed up the setus fit.

61
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,479
I think the big thing this time was the middle

62
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,360
section of the set where it gets a little bit

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,479
e street band jamming, throwing out a cover, doing some

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,879
like slower deeper cuts and stuff like that.

65
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: That was bet.

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: There was a better selection of songs I think this

67
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:26,919
time than there was when I saw him last year.

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,680
Stuff like Youngstown, which was like like full on, like dramatic,

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,919
like protest song that sounded like incredible, So like Racing

70
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,240
in the Streets was just like this really like wonderful

71
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,400
sort of like ballad deep cut to play, Like those

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240
are the things I think that like really like made

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,439
the show just a bit more as a whole enjoyable.

74
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: And then you still got to that second half of

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,560
the set.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: When he kicks it, so be like, yeah, like the

77
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:53,199
first half the sets, we've ended him doing this like

78
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,319
really beautiful acoustic version of Last Man Standing off his

79
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,639
last album, which he talked about probably played it him

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,080
being the last member of his original band. Everyone else

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,840
in that band has now passed on, so like that

82
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:06,319
added a real kind of weight to it. And that

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,759
was like this real great sort of cap on the

84
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:09,400
first half the set, and then he comes back out

85
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,159
they start playing Backstreets and the same as again last year.

86
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: This second half of the set was just like here

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,240
after hit and it's just.

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,959
Speaker 3: The best thing I've ever seen again, like when he's

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,279
doing like the rising bad bands thunder Rode, I'm just

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360
like nothing else can even come close that. But even

91
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,240
like I say, in the first after like massive songs

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,759
like Hungry Heart like they didn't play last time, that

93
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,680
that got like pulled out this time after the Promised Land,

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,959
which was like just a great pairing, but he's as

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,319
the thing is is again it's him as a showman.

96
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,759
He is just electric on stage. The EA Street Band

97
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:49,120
sound incredible, all seventeen members of them, like like when

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,199
you've got the full choir, the holes or brass quartet

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,399
at the back, like four guitarists, however many it is

100
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:59,560
to two guys on keys, it sounds like huge massive

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,040
even again in like a like huge vast karna space

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,480
like Wembley Arena, Wembley Stadium. Sorry, they sound incredible that

103
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,800
none of that power is lost even during those sort

104
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,959
of intimate moments where again he can make this stadium

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,279
feel like you're like he's speaking directly to you in

106
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:18,120
some of these songs.

107
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: It's incredible. Born to Run like that live.

108
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: Is still like the happiest I will ever be I

109
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,560
think at this point seeing that song live. They even

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,879
did a cover near the end of the set of

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,399
Twist and Shout, which was a really fun and him

112
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,360
just at playing up like that was just a really fun,

113
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:37,879
crowd pleasing moment. Like again, this sort of run of

114
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,639
things has been on since last year, this this tour

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,120
that he's been doing now for like I say, two years,

116
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,240
nearly or like a year and a bit within terms,

117
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,000
it's just been such a sort of showcase of why

118
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,439
he is the greace. You are getting a three hour,

119
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,800
thirty song set list of just some of the best rock.

120
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: Songs you're ever going to hear.

121
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: I mean there was no Born in the USA this

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,920
time like that, like sive, like anthems that are like

123
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:05,120
mainstays for him not getting played this time because he's

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,759
mixing up the sellist and that that's a good way.

125
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,319
It felt like really exciting and different than it wasn't

126
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,160
just the same on stuff, but like I saw Bricebans

127
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:14,199
last year Souse, I was like, I don't know if

128
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:15,759
I'll ever get se him again. I've got see him again,

129
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,040
and I'm like every time he comes around now, I's

130
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,480
gonna be like if I can get to it, like

131
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,120
times see Bring Springs, scene might be running out, but

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,480
none of that magic has lost.

133
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: It is the best show.

134
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,319
Speaker 1: In the world. Yeah, it sounds very similar to what

135
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,480
you're saying there about you know when we saw Depeche Mode, Yeah,

136
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,759
and I was like, oh shit, I got the chance

137
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,920
to Mode again like six months later and then yeah, exactly,

138
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:36,240
it was.

139
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:37,759
Speaker 3: Exactly that sort of thing of like, but I think

140
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:39,360
I was gonna do it because of the cost of

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,480
tickets and all that, and doing ac DC and all that.

142
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,360
But when there's the week of the show, the opportunity

143
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680
fell in my lap. I was like, I can't, I

144
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,319
can't not do this. Yeah, I'm so glad I didn't have.

145
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: You got any more like big stadium shows now? Or

146
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,319
is that the end of your like you know, mad

147
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,439
summer that you've been on wrestling count like I mean,

148
00:06:58,079 --> 00:06:59,759
if you wanted to count I suppose it's not.

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,959
Speaker 2: The life wrestling at Wembley Stay.

150
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,519
Speaker 3: But but there's no more like you know, cat off

151
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360
my like I'm not doing the Taylor Swift return run

152
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:09,959
to Wembley.

153
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, who knows what may happen.

154
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,519
Speaker 3: But this is the cap off to my big summer shows,

155
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:19,079
the perfect the perfect show.

156
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, not as good as talking about alter of plagues though.

157
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Is it something that happened that you will all have

158
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,160
now seen and been aware of? But this of course happened,

159
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,759
you know, right after we put out last week's episode

160
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:35,319
that we are now going to get around to talking

161
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,720
about before we then kick off a really large rundown

162
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:42,279
of other bits of news but a massively significant event

163
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:47,120
happened in metal last weekend. I you know, probably the

164
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:51,040
metal story of the year. You know, I don't know

165
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,120
how hyperbolic people want to get with this, but you know,

166
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,759
there's arguments to be made that it's larger than just

167
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,480
you know that, but certainly it will be looked at

168
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,160
as like, wow, that was a moment that happened in

169
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,800
twenty twenty four. The Olympics opening ceremony in Paris happened Friday,

170
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,920
wasn't it. And a little I guess you know, something

171
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:13,399
that was at when we or at least I recorded

172
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:16,439
that last week hyper last was a really random bit

173
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,120
of news kind of trickled in that Gajeira were going

174
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,519
to be playing the Olympics opening ceremony. And I looked

175
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:23,959
at that and again it was quite you know late

176
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,920
announced that was like you know, I don't know, a

177
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,639
few days before they actually I think.

178
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: It was like some French news side picked and then

179
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:31,600
some other like places kind of caught wind events started

180
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:33,320
to publish like links to this French side.

181
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like and I looked at that and

182
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,360
I was like, hey, I don't I don't know the

183
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,360
validity of that but also, you know, I couldn't quite

184
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,279
visualize in what context, like are they just going to

185
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,279
like appear as like part of the fucking clip show?

186
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,679
Like I don't know what was going on there, but

187
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,440
it obviously happened the Olympics, I think Centary last Friday,

188
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,759
and the internet is still talking about what went down

189
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,960
with Gajera, which is quite incredible. And I know I

190
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:02,960
didn't get to see this live. I was at a

191
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:06,279
wedding either. Yeah, I was at a wedding last weekend,

192
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,600
and so like I you know, I watched the you know,

193
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,279
the clip of this after the fact, after like a

194
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,279
few hours of seeing people on Twitter being like, oh

195
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,200
my god, you know, Gajea, Mary Antoinette, Guillotine or a

196
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,759
river like all this mad shit, Like but what the hell?

197
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,679
But how, you know, I kind of wish I had

198
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,360
because how I might have like reacted to just seeing

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,720
them pop up doing what they did completely you know blind,

200
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,840
I don't know, Uh, this was fucking mental.

201
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: This was the realist ship, Like this was the best

202
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,399
possible outcome for Gadjeara playing the Olympics was what we

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840
got in front of us. So I don't see how

204
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:48,759
this could have been better.

205
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:50,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless they dedicated like four more minutes for them

206
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:52,879
to play the entirely of heaviest matter of the universe.

207
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,960
But like the kind of realism, it was pretty good

208
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,480
and I couldn't stop thinking about it for like the

209
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,399
next like a couple of days. Every time like the

210
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,279
clip came back up, even like you know that the

211
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,879
next morning, right, so, the day after the Olympics, like

212
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:10,679
I turned on like BBC News on the TV at

213
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:13,200
like you know, ten am or whatever, and there was

214
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,840
like the recap of the ceremony and the like. Then

215
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,200
then like in the clip show there they just pop

216
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,679
up Gajeerra with flames bursting and it's like it's like

217
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,399
ten am on fucking BBC News in the morning, and

218
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,879
it's like and they didn't even name them, but it

219
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960
was like, you know, French death metal at the it's

220
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,080
like what how what timeline has that ended up in?

221
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: And then the city it was it was actually like

222
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,720
obviously they were they weren't playing one of their songs,

223
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,120
but the presentation of it was Gajeerra.

224
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,039
Speaker 2: We were getting the gad jeera kind of experience.

225
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,159
Speaker 1: Now.

226
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:42,399
Speaker 3: I mean that was the thing because I was wondering

227
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,559
what they're just going to be kind of like nebulous

228
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:47,480
backing band kind of treatment. Yeah, the initial kind of worry,

229
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,840
but no, they are like again, like so it's all

230
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:52,679
part of the whole bit about the French Revolution and

231
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:55,120
all that, and like so when the first thing you

232
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,600
see is a beheaded Mary Antoinette sort of like speaking,

233
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,320
and it's like, oh okay, cool Gnarley first in look

234
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:01,559
like like.

235
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:05,279
Speaker 1: A fucking attraction at the London Dungeon, you know, And.

236
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: Then you suddenly get to that this castle set up

237
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,320
well good year on platforms hanging off the edge of

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,200
the castle, crushing out these rifts, and.

239
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,519
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh shit, this is real.

240
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes you know, you just get a victory, you

241
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,960
know where this is that this is a win.

242
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: You can't take anything away from it.

243
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,399
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and you know, I saw some people being like, oh,

244
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:27,360
you know, I thought we were all mad at the

245
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,840
Olympics for you know, displacing homeless people or whatever. It

246
00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:32,320
kind of goes on in terms of creating you know,

247
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,159
the Olympics. And yeah, obviously you can you could talk

248
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,639
about all the thing with the event itself, but simply,

249
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,879
you know, everyone kind of coming together in the It

250
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,080
reminded me of like, you know, again ten years ago

251
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:46,559
now Metallic at Glass Unburry, when everybody who I knew

252
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,759
on like my you know, my timeline who was into

253
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:51,240
heavy metal, we all kind of got together and were like,

254
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:56,039
fuck yeah Metallica opening with Creeping Death at Glastonbury. Sometimes

255
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,840
you just get a kind of communal victory, and that

256
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,879
what this has been. It was every single but I mean,

257
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,600
you know, loads of people who are not into metals

258
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,000
still being like, whoa, what the hell is this? The

259
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:07,840
French you know, metal band playing is like the coolest

260
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:09,960
thing you'll ever see. But obviously for all of us

261
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,279
who know Gajeira all coming together and be like holy

262
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:15,519
fuck to the point that you know, obviously like even

263
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,440
you know, people in kind of the circles that I'm

264
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360
in were who are you know, maybe more underground and

265
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,919
more into kind of you know, extreme less mainstream metal,

266
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,440
for whom Kajeira aren't really their band anymore. Even those

267
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:28,919
people were just being like, yeah, I might not be

268
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,039
a huge fan of Kagera these days, but that's fucking cool.

269
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,720
That is unbelievably sick, Like just everyone just absolutely just

270
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:44,679
you know, high fiving fist pumping, celebrating what is for

271
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:47,000
me again, it's the presentation for me because it was.

272
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: Like say, it wasn't a compromised version of Gajera and

273
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:53,519
that that is what like made it that everyone could

274
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:54,039
get behind it.

275
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know people saying like, you know, oh,

276
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,360
you know, I'm glad they like didn't water down Kajira

277
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,159
or whatever. And obviously it depends on how far your

278
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,440
definition of watering down would because it's not like they

279
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,279
came out and played Wisdom Comes, you know. And and vocally,

280
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,879
you know, Joe was not really the lead vocalist in

281
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720
that particular section, so it's not like a big growled

282
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,679
vocal lead you know, death metal track or something. But

283
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:17,600
he did do some vocals and he wasn't you know,

284
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:20,720
doing his silvera singing thing. He was, you know, like

285
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,679
roaring over this like huge wall of riffs. And it's

286
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,879
again the details of the presentation for me, where as

287
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:31,759
you say, you know, introduced by a headless you know,

288
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,559
full on a horror attraction Marie Antoinette going past, you

289
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:37,519
know that the singer on the boat, the opera singer

290
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:42,360
going on a boat past the actual like palace slash

291
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,799
you know, converted into a prison building where the you

292
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,279
know Marrintoinette and the other kind of you know, people

293
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,840
who execute you in the French Revolution were held there.

294
00:13:51,879 --> 00:13:55,440
So that's like you know, legit history. That's the that's

295
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,440
the location where those things. For our equivalent would be

296
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,960
like the Tower of London or something. Right, and then

297
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,159
you look into that again you they're doing a song

298
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,120
because then not playing a Kajira song, but if they're

299
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,320
gonna perform anything else, it might as well be.

300
00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: A revolutionary French song.

301
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, like an eighteenth century song about the guillotine.

302
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's cool, that's cool like that if you're

303
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,120
gonna get them to do a song that is in

304
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:25,759
their own pick, something like that that again has historic significance,

305
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,320
has like cultural significance, and it's something that you can

306
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,799
make sound imposing and metal.

307
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I love that. Whoever the French organizers were,

308
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,600
they were going clearly, you know, we're doing this big

309
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:41,200
French cultural tour around Paris. For the opening ceremony, we're

310
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,279
gonna do a bit about the French Revolution, which is

311
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,120
a you know, interesting choice to include in itself, because

312
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:49,639
you know, it's it's obviously it's very famous and significant

313
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:52,000
and why you know, I think it should be included.

314
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:55,399
But it's quite a dark moment, yes, right Again, our

315
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,679
equivalent will be like, oh look the Tower of London,

316
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,600
here's Henry eighth, like you know, cutting the head of

317
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,559
an or whatever. Yeah, like quite dark, fucking horrible history stuff, right,

318
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,559
but they've gone, yeah, okay, so that moment we're gonna

319
00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:09,679
do a French revolution thing, the moment when we chuck

320
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,279
the heads off of all our you know, royalty. The

321
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,080
best music to represent that moment of our history. That

322
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,919
was pretty metal, wasn't it. Let's get a metal band,

323
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
And obviously France are in the position where they go like, yeah, okay,

324
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:25,759
we have one really really prominent, internationally popular French metal band, Gajira.

325
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,120
They'll be up for it. Let's do it. Obviously, you know,

326
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:32,679
particularly as as English people in our context of Royalty

327
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,440
and everything, you look over the channel at that it's

328
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,440
like Jesus Christ. And then as you say, they're like

329
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,799
hanging off of the castle on like little draw bridges, which,

330
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,840
like the meme people making of that have been absolutely incredible.

331
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,720
It wasn't cringe, you know, it like it struck a

332
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:53,879
particular balance, which is it leaned into the metalness. But

333
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:56,480
sometimes when you know the mainstream institutions through that, you

334
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,240
don't really want them to lead into the metalness because

335
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,639
it comes off they make it look cheesy. Yeah, this

336
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,679
is lean into the metalness, but in a legit cool way,

337
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:06,039
not a kind of way.

338
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:09,639
Speaker 2: All that pyrore, the sort of red streamers launching out.

339
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh that was the part for me when again the

340
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000
blood red streamers, like I fired out like the fucking

341
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600
entrails of all the executed people, and they cope the

342
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:18,799
palace and they go down over like the Lotsinger on

343
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,799
the boat. Just yeah, wa fucking incredible, And I think,

344
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:22,879
like could you themselves?

345
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: They looked cool, like when you're watching them play, like

346
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,639
obviously the bassis and like trench going.

347
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: Big black coats like they're in an eighteenth century version

348
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,279
of the Make Trix. For some reason, Joe's got like

349
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,960
the power stance going on, but.

350
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,759
Speaker 3: Like and you watch marriage I wanning say drumming, and

351
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,960
it like again he is a drummer, just looks cool

352
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,879
behind the kick because he looks like he is going

353
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,039
like he's trying to destroy that cat and all those

354
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,600
aspects again they just make them look like it didn't

355
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,039
look like all your dad's metal band up there, Like

356
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720
everything about it just was like, this is how metal

357
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:53,200
can look cool.

358
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,639
Speaker 2: And again, could you have always been on the bands

359
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:56,000
that kind of can lean to sort of.

360
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,399
Speaker 3: When people say all metals creams, its like fucking Gajira

361
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,879
right there, and even again someone who's no maybe as

362
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,240
loves as much they once did.

363
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: It was everything about what was gonna that.

364
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: No, man, this is why good are one of our

365
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
special bands that we will cherish and celebrate.

366
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other performers at the event were like Lady

367
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,519
Gaga and Sali And again it's it's quite nice that

368
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:17,759
it's Goodjeerra because obviously Kajera are you know, for us

369
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,799
right now, they're like one of our biggest most popular

370
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,319
metal bands. No one in metal, you know, questions Gadjera

371
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,640
being like up there on a pedestal, but you know,

372
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:29,640
in the mainstream, obviously an awful lot of people have

373
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,559
not heard of Gajea And it's not like you know

374
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,799
Metallica or you know, Sabbath or one of the small

375
00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:37,000
handful of metal bands that the actual proper.

376
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:38,319
Speaker 2: Like you know mainstream.

377
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,799
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah, your BBC News mainstream are aware of

378
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:45,319
and it was nice that that struck that balance of like, yeah,

379
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,279
this is a band that we all know are totally

380
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:50,079
equipped to go up there and do that kind of thing,

381
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,359
but they are, like you know, they're pushing it for

382
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,160
you know, in total, just like average people on the streets.

383
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,079
And the fact that they were to do that, obviously

384
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,559
the significance is it's the first time it's ever happened

385
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:05,160
for at Obviously when we had it in in London,

386
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,160
we had you know, Frank Turner and Muse played as well,

387
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,839
and I remember that mus ports was really fucking cool.

388
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:13,240
But like there's a there's a level of difference between

389
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:14,000
that and this isn't there.

390
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,799
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, like you know Frank Turner in his like

391
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,839
twee little English country side village and was playing and

392
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,119
the mus like obviously the Grandeur, butate like this is

393
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,519
Mews on the second Law.

394
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:26,039
Speaker 1: They did Survival from that, which I remember is really

395
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:27,759
fucking cool. They had like a big choir and stuff.

396
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:32,319
But yeah, gajeera firing blood red streamers out of the

397
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,119
palace where Mary Antoinette was kept before they cut her

398
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:35,839
head off with the guild.

399
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: That's just yeah, it's just like, yeah, it's just a

400
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,519
cooler thing to just present.

401
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I said, I you know, I didn't

402
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,160
see it going out live, but like my mum immediately

403
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,880
messaged me and she was like, I've just seen Gajeera

404
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240
on the TV. And you know, obviously my mum has

405
00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,640
heard of Gajeera before because she is my mum. But

406
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:57,319
how yeah, but like you know Mum's messages and people

407
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,759
be like, oh, who is this supposing he asked that

408
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,440
I interviewed years go on the TV. I was kinda

409
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:05,519
was like I hated to do. Could you have been

410
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,799
on this podcast Gadea on TNM years ago so we

411
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,680
can say that, you know, former T and M guests

412
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:14,279
open the Olympic ceremony.

413
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: However you like to say, in just just a victory,

414
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:19,519
just so you've got to celebrate and enjoy.

415
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, if the stat I've got here

416
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:24,400
in front of me is to be believed and it

417
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,440
is correct, twenty nine million people around the world tuned

418
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,640
in to watch that Olympics opening ceremony, which means obviously

419
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,519
know they weren't all watching Kadjeira, But technically I think

420
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:38,079
you know, it's been kind of banded out there. Is

421
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,480
that the most watched metal performance of all time? I

422
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:46,720
guess it has to be. I can't think of one

423
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:49,119
of like yeah something yeah up there, and I know

424
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,359
it's you know, but a minute and a half sort

425
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,440
of two minute clip or whatever. I again have watched

426
00:19:54,519 --> 00:20:01,119
several times now, but that's the largest expot osia a

427
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,400
metal band has ever had. And again it's not Metallica

428
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,640
or whatever. It's a band who we see now as

429
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,559
a being a very popular mainstream metal band, but it's

430
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:13,279
still a band who like have Gorgut's influence in the

431
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,519
early musage.

432
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,319
Speaker 3: I mean, like you go back and like I was like,

433
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,519
oh man, this is a thing where I'm like, could

434
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,839
this be what you know, really tips and solidifies them

435
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,279
as a rena festival headliner sort of material. That's the

436
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:26,759
thing why I'm now looking at this on is like

437
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,599
how does this convert into the future for which you

438
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,559
know is like jumping ahead and kind of like not

439
00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:33,359
enjoying the moment, but it is something I'm like, fingers,

440
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,839
like you let this momentum carry on for good year

441
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,960
and you know, really stamp their position as like one

442
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,200
of the top bands yeah.

443
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can play the opening Cereena then

444
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,319
picks for twenty nine million people, but you can't like

445
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,160
even sub headline download festival, then some things need be

446
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:54,440
switching out. But like, yeah, just unbelievably memorable. Cool again,

447
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,359
considering it was something that I feel like there should

448
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,920
have been more built up, you know, I feel like, yeah,

449
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:01,759
we should have known for money, you.

450
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: Know, every melfan could have been ready. They're glued.

451
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it it just sort of like just pissed

452
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:08,960
itself out onto the internet like two days before and

453
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:11,359
like any Kajira play any Olympics, and then it happened. Everyone,

454
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:16,279
Oh my god, what a story, and then even the

455
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,559
fucking the like you know, all out.

456
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: Because you know I've mentioned I mean, it wasn't this

457
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,599
wasn't just there were there were various bits. Yeah, I

458
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,920
don't think they were like a bunch over.

459
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's specific to Kajira, because I've said

460
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,759
before several times, for the last few years we've been

461
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:36,279
in something a kind of renewed satanic panic. But you know,

462
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,480
people like sucking Andrew Tait and like the idiot piece

463
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:44,559
of ship from Skillet, like this is satanic it's like, motherfucker,

464
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,960
what doesn't scare you? Why are you scared of everything?

465
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,599
I thought you were manly men but wonderful. Why not?

466
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,880
It was that cool lap up a bit of like, yeah,

467
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,519
upset some people in the process and and you know,

468
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,799
get some knickers in a twist. Absolutely which obviously because

469
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,359
it's Kajira, we know, just how like lovely climate. But

470
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:03,960
they are.

471
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,759
Speaker 2: Going to like and all the albums are about trees

472
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:09,079
and ship.

473
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, just undeniably like the victory, you know, feel good

474
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,440
for the entire community of heavy metal. Story of the Year,

475
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:25,240
absolutely sensationally done. We again, I don't want to over

476
00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:27,400
exaggerate this significance of it, because I don't think it's

477
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,319
like suddenly, uh you know, I know people, oh yeah,

478
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,799
Kadeer have got some tops in hn M or whatever.

479
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,640
But I don't think it's suddenly going to mean that like,

480
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,200
oh yeah, you know they're going to be hanging out

481
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,359
with Billie Eilish at the fucking you know vm A

482
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,880
Awards like Christina regular A. Yeah. I'm not saying it's

483
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,960
gonna get metal back on top or anything, but I

484
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,200
do think that we're clearly going to be talking about

485
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,799
it as a moment for years and years, you know,

486
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:52,599
maybe for the rest of like heavy metal being a

487
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,400
thing on this planet. So in that sense, it is significant,

488
00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:58,880
and it's really wonderful that it was just that cool

489
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:01,559
as well, because it would be significant even if it

490
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,519
was just like, you know, oh, there's Gajira in the background,

491
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,279
but it wasn't. It was that so massive. Applaud to

492
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,319
everybody involved in, like, you know, setting that up and

493
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,960
getting that on twenty nine million screens around the world.

494
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,839
So yeah, fucking incredible. Let's move on through the rest

495
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,480
of the news. A really random bit of news that

496
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,799
I feel like I don't quite have the context to

497
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,359
understand what is involved before I actually see it. But

498
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:32,519
King Diamond has announced a US tour, to which I say, please, God, sir,

499
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:35,799
the album. It has been so many years since you

500
00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:38,880
put out the first single from the album. We had

501
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,880
a pandemic in between now and then, please pandemic, please

502
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,240
release the album that you keep saying is like nearly done.

503
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,319
But he's doing a big US tour. Looks like a

504
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,200
good old time who's supporting on it? Overkiller Night Demon,

505
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,559
Night Demon supporting every like old heavy metal band until

506
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:58,680
the end of time. But Mirka Amili of course from

507
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,480
Mierka is gonna be joining King Diamond's band as a

508
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,279
backup live vocalist, which is just like a really random headline. Again,

509
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:09,000
it's not happened yet, so I have not got any

510
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:11,920
you know, oh there she is singing X part or whatever.

511
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,519
But at the very least that's kind of cool and

512
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,720
novel and interesting.

513
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: What's going to be in the Grandma costume?

514
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh maybe Grandma. Let's talk now about music, because we

515
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,960
are reaching the point. I had, you know, a couple

516
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,039
of them last week with the two share More I

517
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:29,640
album and stuff, which I'm sure you're you're ant for,

518
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,559
oh very much, so yees to talk about that. But

519
00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:37,240
we are now reaching the point where, you know, approaching

520
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,240
the sort of halfway to the end point of summer autumn.

521
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Albums are streaming in and we've got so many of

522
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,920
some kind of significance announced like this week in the

523
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,920
last few days even that we are just gonna have

524
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,480
a gauntlet here of going through. Some have got like

525
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:59,240
singles out that we are gonna gonna talk about. And

526
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,440
the way you know, normally I organize these things kind

527
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,799
of vaguely by like you know, size or popularity or whatever.

528
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,920
There are so many albums here to talk about that

529
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,599
I've actually just put it in like chronological order of

530
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,920
their release dates, so you can imagine in you know, sequence,

531
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,640
when these albums will be coming out. So the first

532
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,759
of those technically is coming out in September. Most of

533
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,720
them are August babies, but on September the twentieth, Vended

534
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,400
are going to be releasing their full length debut album,

535
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:31,599
which is fucking weird because I feel like Vended should

536
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,839
have a debut for Ages.

537
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: It feels like now or I'm not Ages, but it

538
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,799
feels like they've been in a long enough they should

539
00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:36,400
have a debut album.

540
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:38,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, they've been in a hot minute, and I

541
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,920
know that obviously they've been put in a certain position

542
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:43,200
because of you know, surnames and so forth, So that

543
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:45,160
explains it. But I did just go, what the fuck

544
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,440
do you mean? Vended don't have a debut album yet,

545
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:52,559
but that will be arriving in September. Moving on to August,

546
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,000
as said, the first week in August October, and yeah, sorry,

547
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:59,440
first week in October is when we're going to receive

548
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:03,680
the new album from Undeath, which is called Rather brilliantly.

549
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,960
The album is called More Insane, which the last one

550
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,599
was just Insane. I guess this one's more insane. Uh.

551
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:16,359
It's the follow up to its time Dot Dot Dot too,

552
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,519
right from the grave. It's gonna be out on October

553
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:21,440
the fourth. Like I said, there is a single from

554
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:27,160
it called Brandish the Blade. The cover art is fucking great.

555
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,400
It's like they've done this thing with their album covers

556
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,720
where each one like zooms out and like reveals more

557
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,599
of like the scenery, and this one has now gone Yeah,

558
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,920
so like those tombstones and shit are actually inside the

559
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,880
skull of a splitting open head. Cool. I guess, Narlie,

560
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,680
I guess that is more Insane. They didn't lie. But

561
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720
as said, we've got a track, Brandish the Blade. The

562
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:54,559
album's produced by Mark Lewis, who I feel like in

563
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,799
terms of Undeath's touch points, the most relevant thing is

564
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,440
that he is the only person other than Eric Rutan,

565
00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:03,599
who have produced a Cannibal Corps album in the last

566
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,640
like twenty years. He did the Eskeletal Domain album and

567
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:10,839
this track is really fucking good.

568
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: This track is amazing. I really like Undeath. I think

569
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,799
this might be my favorite un death song or just on.

570
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm really fond of its time to rise from the grave,

571
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,279
but this is like not there as well.

572
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: Again, the thing is is this is that rollicking death

573
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,039
metal party that I like, I come to Undeath for

574
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359
like again, like there's no bad people who have more

575
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,000
in common with about it.

576
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: But it's got that kind of runaway every time I.

577
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: Die, just charged up energy where it's just like the

578
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,720
risk of firing out. There's almost like there's like an

579
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,200
actual chorus hook kind of bit. The breakdown is just

580
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,839
like skull crashing. It's got this amazing solo. It's just

581
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,000
it's so charged up all the time. I'm full of

582
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,039
so much energy, but it's so fun and sort of

583
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:55,279
free wheeling and cutting loose, like I was just first

584
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:57,680
player the Remember that opening riff kicked in. I was like,

585
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:00,319
oh yeah, come on, and it like and then that

586
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,440
energy just ups and up and up. I like legitimately

587
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:07,200
think of the new crop of like cool modern death

588
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,480
meal bands, Undeath by far become my favorite. There was

589
00:28:10,519 --> 00:28:13,319
just something about them that just hits a note for me,

590
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,160
and this song kind of like captures all the best

591
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,359
of it.

592
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think of that particular. Obviously we were talking

593
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,039
about the two hundred Dad Winds album a couple of

594
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,720
weeks ago, but I think, you know, on death are

595
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,039
kind of more so as time goes on, kind of

596
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,960
revealing themselves to maybe be like, you know, one of

597
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,440
if not the best one, because I agree that kind

598
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,920
of like the rolling double bass in that verse where

599
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:34,680
it is like, yeah, that's what I want. I want

600
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,599
the feel of being on like a gore train made

601
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,880
out of like strewn bits of blood and bone, just

602
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,200
sort of rollicking down.

603
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,119
Speaker 2: A hill everything in its path.

604
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that breakdown part the build up made me

605
00:28:46,839 --> 00:28:49,400
just hooped with that eye am brandishing the fucking blame.

606
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:50,039
Speaker 2: Yep, that was it.

607
00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:52,079
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, yeah, so cool. And it's like

608
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,799
it's technically adept, but it's very clearly song based, where

609
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,359
again it has like an actual chorus and everything in

610
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,359
a way that minded me of Black Dahlia.

611
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, that's probably the more acts or of

612
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,680
death metal comparison.

613
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's the same kind of energy, right, and

614
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,440
it's got so many rifts in it. But it's also like, yeah,

615
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:14,519
that's obviously lead single territory because it's how they all

616
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,720
are pieced together and flow together. There's so many cool

617
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,599
little moments and bits of flare like that. Even that

618
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,440
there's one little riff in that breakdown part where they

619
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:25,599
play a second time and in my head, I just

620
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,519
thought it'd be sweet to have like a little like

621
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,519
hammer on or something in that second part, and then

622
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:31,720
they did it. It's like, oh yeah, cool. It's really

623
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:37,119
natural songwriting instincts vocally as well, like you know, for

624
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:40,240
a kind of you know, death metal growler, I feel

625
00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:42,359
like there's character. Yeah, there's character.

626
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: There's like you can kind of pick out like the

627
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,759
hooks and stuff like that, and it I like, I

628
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:47,880
can't say enough good things about this.

629
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Alex is maybe exploring how to

630
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,400
do that a little bit. You know, our friend Joe

631
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,200
from Nuclear Blast, he puts something up whereas like the

632
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,400
vocals are giving nightmares made flesh from blood Bath and

633
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,319
I can I can hear that. Yeah, this kind of

634
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:03,240
connection and yeah, like wicked track sure to be a

635
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,640
great album and uh yeah October the fourth from Undeath

636
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:11,319
moving for actually they do also have I should say

637
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:15,200
live and that's a big old US tour as well

638
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,799
in support of that album, where they've got Cruelty Gates

639
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:20,640
to Hell and Tribal Gaze out with them, which is

640
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,000
a very good kind of you know, combination of that

641
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,839
kind of breed of the you know, sort of modern

642
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,039
particular obviously with Cruelty and Travel Gay is kind of

643
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:29,599
the hardcore leaning side. Yeah, hard co leaning death death metal.

644
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,039
But if you're in the US and you like that

645
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:32,640
kind of death metal, and that's definitely going to be

646
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,079
a tour for you. Moving forward the following week, in

647
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:40,359
the middle of October the eleventh, we have the new

648
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:43,839
Ransy Pazuzu album, which is going to be cooled. Here

649
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,559
we go Munta Toja, which is a shape shifter in English.

650
00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:50,839
It's a shame because I feel like I've gotten at

651
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,200
least marginally good at pronouncing a couple of the last

652
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,519
directed Prozer albums, but that one's going to need some practice.

653
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,880
But yeah, that's out on October's Actually there's like I

654
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,799
think there's two songs out from this one now. They're

655
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:02,720
a released a couple of singles, but my god, are

656
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:03,640
they freaky.

657
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: I wasn't listen and when you said you're gonna running

658
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,920
slightly like I listened to.

659
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: It's more upsetting than usual from them.

660
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: It's like we are the winds of getting me to

661
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:20,920
go for the avant garde, black and definite old ship

662
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,519
that you normally go for. Like there's been a couple

663
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:24,359
of the ones that like I'm gonna come mon on, like,

664
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,680
I don't think you're gonna have the same success with

665
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:28,240
our Anti Persus is all I'm going to say.

666
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe not on this album, because this album

667
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:34,160
is sounding fucking absolutely nightmarish and absolutely hellish. But one

668
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,000
of the most genius heavy bands in the world right now.

669
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,359
I'm very excited for that one. The following week we

670
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,640
got the news on the High Viz album. They've also

671
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,519
announced a big old like you know, UK and European

672
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,200
tour and everything. It's really sad. They're playing a skate

673
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:49,880
shop in Liverpool next weekend, the Sunday that I am

674
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,640
at Bloodstock, but that will be fucking crazy. But their

675
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,319
new album it's called Guided Tour. Uh, It's on October

676
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,839
the eighteenth. We did speak about a single that I

677
00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:04,119
guess again is the lead single from from this a

678
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,920
couple of weeks ago, which I think is wicked. I

679
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,279
revisited that song very good. This track you know more

680
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,359
out there though, because.

681
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:13,119
Speaker 3: I was really surprised at how this when it's that

682
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,359
with that kind of like female vocal as well as

683
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,559
like eight This is a little bit different, but I

684
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,440
think it's kind of give me an interesting idea of

685
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,960
where like some of the ideas of Hives might pull

686
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,680
on on this record and where they want to see

687
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,279
themselves going.

688
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's got you know, a major use of

689
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:29,880
electronics in there, but also even like kind of pop

690
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,359
music sounds yeah and slightly you know, it's not like

691
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,039
they've gone for Katy Perry. It's kind of you know,

692
00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:38,319
sort of slightly artsy pop music maybe, but you know,

693
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:40,519
I'm not against it. It's a it's an interesting experiment.

694
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:42,000
It's got a cool grouve. I like the you know,

695
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:45,680
it's still got like slightly gothy like post punk bass

696
00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:48,359
and then these like bright you know, stone rosy zy

697
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,519
or whatever kind of old still nineties as far yeah,

698
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,640
guitars and everything, but it's alongside those more you know,

699
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,160
twenty first century kind of chopped up vocal samples and

700
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,920
stuff like that, which is a cool mix of kind

701
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,519
of cultural elements. And I like that This is the

702
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:03,799
second single as well, because obviously we had that first one.

703
00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:05,680
I was like cool, yeah, and now this is clearly

704
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:09,200
signposting like this album gonna have a diversity of sound.

705
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,359
Speaker 3: You know.

706
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest of the album might not lean into

707
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,880
any one of these things in particular, but we're gonna

708
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,839
have like a wide palette of stuff. So I think

709
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,160
that's cool in that particular regard from high Viz. Also,

710
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,920
I think that same week we have a new Grand

711
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,039
Magas album which is called Sun Raven. It's their first

712
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:26,880
album in a fair few years, a bit of a

713
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,240
break from them. It's a concept album. I think I

714
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,720
read about the Viking Saga of Beowulf, so completely on

715
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,160
brand for a Grand Magas it is. It's a heavy

716
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,039
metal song, it's got a great riff, it's got a

717
00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:41,359
chorus that will feel good at Bloodstock in a week's time.

718
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:45,279
Good stuff there. We also then have the new Jerry

719
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:49,519
Cantrell album which is called I Want Blood. We had

720
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:52,039
a little bit of teasing from Jerry Cantrell ahead of

721
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:54,799
this where we're like always you know, Iras and Chains

722
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,920
coming back. I presume, I guess it would be so

723
00:33:58,039 --> 00:34:00,319
loocuse the teasing was coming from like Jerry Cantrell kind

724
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:04,799
of accounts rather than Alison changes, and obviously we spoke

725
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:07,480
about a lot of Alison Chains. Last year, I really

726
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:10,000
had a renaissance with the Rainier Fog album and I

727
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:12,639
was still listening to it. So I'm because it's been

728
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:15,440
like six years now, I'm really like, I want new

729
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,440
Alison Chains, particularly so that then means they'll tour it.

730
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,639
But as well as having that, doing that special we

731
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,760
did also reminded me that the last Jerry Contrell album, Brighton,

732
00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:28,199
was really fucking good as well. And I just I

733
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,559
just want a constant supply of music from this guy,

734
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,800
you know, like whe whether it's I just need Jerry

735
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,599
ConTroll sounds around me because it's very homely and.

736
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: That's it's been a hit.

737
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: Play on this single and it was just kind of like,

738
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:41,760
oh yeah, this is that that really like psychedelic, kind

739
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,599
of weirder side of Jerry Control, but like just like

740
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,840
that his character just feeling so because after this, the

741
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,800
voice of Jerry Control, the character of me is just

742
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,960
so comforting to me. And after like how much that'special

743
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,079
we did and and I just got those vibes immediate

744
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:57,599
from this song and I think it's a really good

745
00:34:58,639 --> 00:34:59,360
sort of first single.

746
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:02,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. The album is produced by Joe Brezi and he said,

747
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:05,519
you know, this album sounds sounds different to Brighton, and

748
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,119
listening to this, it's like, yeah, the more kind of

749
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,440
trually kind of stonier even bits that are there on

750
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,199
like rainier fog like tracks like Red Giant and Drone

751
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,960
and that stuff, and less To kind of it's a

752
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,840
bit darker, yeah, less To kind of like sevenies, you know,

753
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:23,599
slightly acoustic leaning outlaw rock of Brighton to the point

754
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,440
where I hear this someone like, oh, yeah, where are

755
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,360
the rest of Allison changed? You know, like what are

756
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,519
you guys doing? But you know, I like those kind

757
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:33,519
of riffs, the stuttery rhythm, good stuff going there. Then

758
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880
the following week, October the twenty fifth, we have the

759
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,440
one that I would I imagine is probably the most

760
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,119
exciting album for announcement for like a number of people.

761
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:48,079
Better Lovers have detailed their debut full length album that

762
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,719
people have been waiting for for a little while. It's

763
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,199
called Highly Irresponsible, which is quite funny. And this is

764
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,519
curious because I, you know, I was following the last

765
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:03,440
Better Lover singles had the first EP last year, wasn't it.

766
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:06,159
And then we had a couple of singles like there

767
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:08,519
was that one Flowering which had that like a little

768
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:11,400
shop of horrors like music video and stuff, and there

769
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,480
was another one too Alive Amongst the Dead, and I

770
00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:15,000
assumed I was like, okay, so they've done the thing

771
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
where they've released a couple singles before announcing the album,

772
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:19,559
but looking at the track list, those songs don't appear

773
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:22,280
to be on it, so this is uh, I guess

774
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,280
you know, this track, which is called a White Horse

775
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,039
Covered in Blood, is actually the first track that we've

776
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:29,920
heard from the album. So the album. Yeah, I guess

777
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,519
if you like those other two songs, they are just

778
00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:36,639
sort of you know, stray standalone singles before the album arrived.

779
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,280
But we have this track as the lead single. Sam

780
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:43,719
as said in terms of exciting announcements, so this is

781
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,280
probably the one for you where you're immediately yeah, I

782
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,360
gotta cue that one up first of all. So what

783
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,880
do you make of the lead single for the Better

784
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,400
Lovers album?

785
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty much everything I want from a

786
00:36:53,039 --> 00:36:56,519
lead single from a Better Lovers album. That obviously, this

787
00:36:56,639 --> 00:36:58,360
is gonna just hit the spot for me, right A well,

788
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,360
I've liked every better the song so far loads.

789
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,159
Speaker 2: This is more of that. They've got to be more

790
00:37:03,159 --> 00:37:06,920
of the chorus going on. But you know, Jordan Buckley's riffing.

791
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:08,639
I hear him. I hear that dude riff and I

792
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:08,960
like it.

793
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 3: And Greg Priciatto like his clean vocals, He's got all

794
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,960
of his character going on the whole that the you

795
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,480
gave some for line and you repeat it kind of

796
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:20,920
hook that they build off towards the end, gives that

797
00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:24,800
kind of big like rousing closing moment just goes really fast,

798
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:25,280
really hard.

799
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,079
Speaker 2: It like, yeah, it's I don't think this is going

800
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:30,000
to shock anyone when they hit play on what this is.

801
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 3: This isn't like a kind of like big dramatic swing

802
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,360
of a lead single, but in terms of just the chaotic,

803
00:37:35,559 --> 00:37:39,239
high energy sound that Better Lovers have kind of demonstrated

804
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,199
on those on that first DP and those singles, this

805
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,599
is more of that, but with a bit more of,

806
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:44,440
like I say, a chorus, a hook that you can

807
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,119
really sing along with.

808
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know it starts with that like just

809
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,159
kind of snared, just hitting it repeatedly, and Greg's kind

810
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,079
of slur and that like cat got your tongue kind

811
00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:53,519
of things. That's a bit like Tim Armstrong for a

812
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,840
second there, but it is, it's one of them more

813
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,039
like kind of driving, kind of rocky rifts, Like it

814
00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:01,800
really slots into the like, you know, obviously something there.

815
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,840
Every time I Die helped spawn that kind of punk

816
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,400
and roll thing of like the kind of you know,

817
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:08,000
Turn of the twenty ten seven sort of. Yeah, that's

818
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:09,880
a nice sort of rythm to slit into. And I

819
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:12,119
kind of I felt the same about the kind of

820
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:15,719
repeating refrains jumped out at me more in this song

821
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:18,719
than previous Better Lothers tracks that taught us out yourself

822
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,880
a lie that you repeated part the Catholi tongue part. Like,

823
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:25,320
I can't say for myself that there has been a

824
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Better Lover song so far. Well, I mean, I've not

825
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:30,239
seen them live, and it feels like every other person

826
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,639
seems to have seen them four or five times right now,

827
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:35,199
so everybody is like they've been pre active. Yeah, so

828
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,559
everybody is used to the songs. I don't have that,

829
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,880
but you know, so just listen to the records. There

830
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,800
hasn't been like a Better Love track so far that

831
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,920
has genuinely jammed its way into my head and stuck

832
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,239
with me the way their best songs from obviously their

833
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,000
prior bands have. It's all been like, you know, an

834
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:53,079
enjoyable combination of sounds and elements, but it hasn't really

835
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:54,840
had the song power of for me so far. I

836
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,880
can't say yet if this one will be, you know, again,

837
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,280
one of those higher songs or whatever, but I think

838
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,400
it's maybe the closest to people like, oh yeah, cool,

839
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,480
like a hook I've heard from a Better Lover song.

840
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's I mean the EPM particular, those

841
00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:11,039
songs are really wet sothing like Fairy under thirty particularly live,

842
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:12,840
that song feels like the sort of the moment in

843
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,440
their set. But this is definitely one of the more

844
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,760
kind of just like immediately sort of grasp of all, like, yep, cal,

845
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,519
there's a hook there.

846
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: Let's let's build off that. So, I mean, like I I,

847
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,199
of course I was gonna love this, and it is

848
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,000
hitting what I want.

849
00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm like, I say, it's got me excited

850
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,760
for the album, Like I love the album cover of

851
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,480
a guy blowing his face off of a firework.

852
00:39:33,639 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's at the Cateria show at the Olympics and

853
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:40,400
then leaving October going into the last month of autumn

854
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,360
in November. The first of November. In fact, Tribulation have

855
00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:47,320
got their new album coming out. It's called sub Rosa

856
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,079
in a Turnum. It has a single out from it now,

857
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,559
which is called Tainted Skies. There was another Tribulation single,

858
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:56,159
it's another one of those. They released a single a

859
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,159
few weeks ago that I loved because it's really it's

860
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:03,480
like the most goth rock song they've ever done, like

861
00:40:03,559 --> 00:40:07,199
a full on, like an actual like cleanly you know,

862
00:40:07,559 --> 00:40:10,719
kind of barraitonely song, like goth rock chorus type Tribulation song,

863
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,119
And I thought, oh, you know, that's an interesting kind

864
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:15,199
of development of them leaning to that side. This one

865
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:18,800
maybe feels slightly more classic Tribulation, but it does still

866
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,800
have again, you know, like clean vocals in there, and

867
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,159
I think you can still hear they're leaning into a

868
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,320
slightly more like analogue seventies old school driving rock thing.

869
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,360
Like even the fact that they've like in the promo

870
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,480
pictures they're not wearing any corpse paint and it's just

871
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,360
like Yahanna's wearing some like shades and stuff. It's like,

872
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:38,960
is this the beginning of tribulation kind of you know,

873
00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:42,840
turning into dads. Maybe it is, but I do like

874
00:40:43,039 --> 00:40:45,440
the tunes, and that is a huge old stream of

875
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,000
albums that are coming out in the autumn of twenty

876
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:50,039
twenty four. There is one more piece of you know,

877
00:40:50,159 --> 00:40:53,719
new music announcement as well, which is that Ginger are back,

878
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:57,719
and they have not fully detailed an album announcement, but

879
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,199
they've said that one will arrive in Win twenty twenty five,

880
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,280
which I guess means you know, January or February of

881
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,880
obviously early next year. But we do have a lead

882
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,320
single from that album, which is called Someone's Daughter. And

883
00:41:11,559 --> 00:41:13,840
in terms of like our discussion of Ginger, we don't

884
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,079
talk about them super often. We reviewed an album in

885
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:21,599
twenty twenty one, and this is their first music since then,

886
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,639
which for like a you know, hypie one of the

887
00:41:24,679 --> 00:41:29,119
most prominent sort of you know, current mainstream metal bands around.

888
00:41:29,199 --> 00:41:31,039
That does feel like a bit of a quiet period,

889
00:41:31,079 --> 00:41:33,400
Like it feels like Ginger have kind of gone quiet

890
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,079
for a little bit and been off people's lips. So

891
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:36,920
it feels like the right moment to kind of check

892
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,079
in again with like a you know, first single off

893
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:45,079
a new project, but you know, we haven't really been fans. Sam,

894
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,320
do you have any thoughts about the Ginger track?

895
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:50,119
Speaker 2: I just winding it around to listening to the Okay,

896
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:51,840
because of work, I didn't have a chance.

897
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,159
Speaker 1: To get right. Well, I guess for me, I had

898
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,239
kind of a I listened to track and I didn't

899
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,960
really like it right for the same reasons I don't

900
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,039
really like any Ginger, but I feel like I listened

901
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:05,559
to this and I had a slight like, uh, something

902
00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:07,679
clicked about some of the reasons why I don't really

903
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,719
like Ginger that much, and I like, for me, I've

904
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,320
always found Ginger's music really like inert and really stagnant,

905
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,639
and it's like they're, you know, seemingly on an objective level,

906
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,039
They're they're heavy, you know, they have like you know,

907
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,800
down tune guitars and a screamy vocalist and all that

908
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,440
kind of stuff, But I never feel it's actually like

909
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:29,960
purposed and aggressive and it doesn't actually hit me on

910
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,079
any kind of prime or like want to run round

911
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:34,719
of the circle with anything type level. And I was

912
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,800
listing this and I was like, yeah, it's like technically busy,

913
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,079
but it doesn't have that kind of power or that

914
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,239
crucially momentum that that kind of music should have for me.

915
00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:46,079
And the chorus of the song kind of made me

916
00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:49,119
realize something about that, because it's it's Tattyana doing that

917
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,920
kind of big, you know, slightly Anastasia ish kind of

918
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,280
like R and B influenced clean vocal that she does,

919
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,119
and she's doing it over this like weird like kind

920
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:01,559
of rolling over itself, technic shifting kind of gent riff,

921
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:04,280
and then she you know, continues to you know, sing

922
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,079
those melodies over the following verses and everything, and it's

923
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,239
like you know those videos where someone on YouTube has

924
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,800
taken like the isolated vocal track from like a famous

925
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,280
pop song or something right like a Lady Garb Yeah,

926
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,920
and they've made up like a metal metal instrumental track

927
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
to go under it, and you watch them and you go, oh,

928
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:24,519
that's kind of funny, But very rarely do you go,

929
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:27,159
oh yeah, that that like you know, busy guitar part

930
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:31,000
actually complements that song more than like the original pop

931
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:34,800
production that that song had. That's what this song sounds like.

932
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:37,840
It's like an isolated chorus that doesn't go very well

933
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,599
with the metal track. That's that's underneath it, but it's

934
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:43,119
been like originally written that way, and you know, resultingly,

935
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:45,760
even though it's the main hook of the song when

936
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,719
it arrives, there is no of like that swell you

937
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,079
want of like ah fit, punch the air, the lift

938
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:54,519
of a metal chorus that's meant to like grab you

939
00:43:54,559 --> 00:43:56,840
on first go whatever, it doesn't happen because it's like

940
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,320
this weird melody over this like other rift that doesn't

941
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
really you know, compliment it in any way, and it's

942
00:44:02,559 --> 00:44:06,199
this kind of snaking melody that subsequently goes nowhere because

943
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,079
the arrangement of the song just isn't very good and

944
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,280
it just feels kind of sour to me as a result,

945
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,079
and I don't really enjoy listening to it. And I

946
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:16,840
just thought, listen to this track that you know, that's

947
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,760
my updated twenty twenty four thoughts and take on Ginger

948
00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:23,719
and we'll see you in a few years again. But

949
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:28,639
that is that. A couple of really exciting live announcements

950
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,760
as well. Obviously we have some for you in the

951
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,199
US with the Undeath and everything, but a couple of

952
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,840
shows I'm really you know, excited about coming up. Green

953
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,679
Lung have announced their biggest ever. Headline shows in the

954
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,000
UK are coming up in February of next year, and

955
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,400
just again on their own merits right, Green Lung are

956
00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:51,000
a band that we have described as being kind of,

957
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:52,760
you know, on the up, and we've kind of been

958
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,880
curious about like how far they could go, what is

959
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,639
their ceiling whatever. They're going to be headlining the Rits

960
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,159
in Manchester, and the say they're gonna be headlining the

961
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,880
Kentish Town Forum in London, and I don't say Green

962
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,559
Lung at this stage right now without any like prominent

963
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:15,719
mainstream backing yet really playing the forum. I learned to

964
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,840
that and went, I hope that's not too capacity, but like, yeah,

965
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,840
that's that's that's cool.

966
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm seeing Green Lung player Tiny Pub tomorrow,

967
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,079
which I'm very excited about. But yeah, and this is

968
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,599
this feels like a real kind of like big moment

969
00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:32,519
for them, as kind of like they're like moment of

970
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:34,119
like saying we're a big metal band.

971
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 2: And I think, like, I think based on the moment

972
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,559
and they still took from that from that new.

973
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 3: Album, I think they can do it, especially with the

974
00:45:41,039 --> 00:45:43,039
package they're bringing along by those things, it looks like

975
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:45,000
it if you're into that sort of thing, You're gonna

976
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,159
have a very good night when.

977
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope it goes well for them. I hope

978
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,159
that that it sells well and everything. The package that

979
00:45:50,199 --> 00:45:52,199
you mentioned is that they're gonna be supported by unto

980
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,039
others and also Satan Satyrs, which for me as a

981
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,480
trio is just so won of the well I Satan

982
00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:03,920
Saty's obviously the band that we've never really spoken about

983
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,559
extensively on the show. I've thought about it a couple

984
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,880
of times. It's weird to me that they're like the

985
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,440
oldest band on that bill now, because I remember their

986
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:12,239
debut album was like a really big thing for me,

987
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:13,599
and now I'm like, oh my god, you're the old

988
00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:16,159
guard of those three bands. But they're really really cool.

989
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:17,960
They're more like a kind of seven e's like psych

990
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:20,280
rock type band, like with bits of that kind of

991
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,800
electric was a doom me kind of element in there

992
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,519
as well, Like really, you know, I really like that

993
00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:26,320
band in that kind of realm. But obviously unto others

994
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,840
along with them as well as main support, I hope

995
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,719
that does bring in a few more kind of tickets

996
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,239
as well. Green Lung and unto others, as a pairing

997
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,000
feels like really exciting, and I feel like, compared to

998
00:46:36,119 --> 00:46:38,599
other support shows that unto others have done over here,

999
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,239
I feel like there's maybe more chance of Green Lung

1000
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,960
fans like already knowing them as well.

1001
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even the ones who don't well vibe.

1002
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I hope, I really hope obviously it benefits

1003
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,239
onto others because I feel like more of the kind

1004
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,639
of older classic heavy metal crowd have like twigged onto

1005
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,239
Green Lung than they have unto others yet. But I

1006
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,639
also feel, like I said, in terms of like people

1007
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,519
turning up and maybe are actually really knowing if you

1008
00:47:02,639 --> 00:47:04,199
and two other songs and giving them a good response,

1009
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:05,760
I feel like that's more likely at this Green Lung

1010
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,079
show then you know, a Behemoth arch Jemy show or

1011
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:10,679
anything else they've kind of done. So that is a

1012
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,320
trio particularly obviously got you know, one show in London,

1013
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,920
one show in the North that's an unmissible fucking show.

1014
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:16,800
That's brilliant.

1015
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that to me, I was like, because I was

1016
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:21,920
seeing Green Lung twiles, I don't need him on the

1017
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:22,199
next one.

1018
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 2: We're like, oh they got onto others, Maybe I probably

1019
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,559
do need to see him. On the next tour. Yeah,

1020
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:26,800
because I've not seen onto others.

1021
00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: Yet and you want to be there for that big

1022
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:28,559
green lung show.

1023
00:47:29,119 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 2: What I was going to say as.

1024
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, like them in the forum they're gonna put because

1025
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,719
you said, like you used them in quite a small

1026
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,639
venue and they were packing a bit of a shit

1027
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,800
that like how many big heads are they like in

1028
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,800
the film stage and like drum circles and all that

1029
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,639
shit like gold.

1030
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, erect an entire stone circle in the middle of

1031
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:47,760
the Kentish Down Forum. And then we also have a

1032
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,920
tour that's gonna be happening in April going around Europe,

1033
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:55,119
which is Behemoth headlining what they've titled the Unholy Trinity

1034
00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:58,360
Tour twenty twenty five, bringing Satiric On and Rotten Christ

1035
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:02,679
around with them. And it looks like it is primarily

1036
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,840
sort of one show in like each you know, European

1037
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,599
country and in a normally obviously one of the capitals,

1038
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,760
which means they are playing the Bricks and Academy in

1039
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,480
London and that's it for the UK shows. I think

1040
00:48:14,519 --> 00:48:16,639
for myself it means I probably won't be attending this

1041
00:48:16,679 --> 00:48:18,639
one because I've got other things that I'm doing. Around

1042
00:48:18,679 --> 00:48:21,880
that time, which I would be really gutted about if

1043
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,559
I wasn't seeing Satirical on and Rotten Christ both next

1044
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:27,039
week at Bloodstock, both of whom I haven't seen in

1045
00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:29,039
a long time. And really those are like the two

1046
00:48:29,119 --> 00:48:32,079
bands I'm most looking forward to at Bloodstock. So that slightly,

1047
00:48:32,159 --> 00:48:33,719
you know, lessens the blow of not being able to

1048
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:36,679
do this one. But if you are in London or

1049
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,199
in any of these other you know, European capitals where

1050
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:44,519
that's coming round, my god, if you like grand fucking

1051
00:48:44,599 --> 00:48:48,679
black metal, Bohemo, Satirical and Rotten Christ are literally three

1052
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,280
of the greatest to ever do it, and that is

1053
00:48:52,159 --> 00:48:54,480
in terms of that unholy Trinity billing they've given it.

1054
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:55,519
It lives up to that.

1055
00:48:56,119 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm about to go to this because

1056
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,559
again after that Rotten Christ album kind of really got it.

1057
00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you enjoyed the Satirical album Club we did, Like

1058
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:04,960
I've been.

1059
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: Vying with Sterical for a while since you did that

1060
00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:07,039
album Club.

1061
00:49:07,079 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 3: So that is a package again, just like Grand Majestic

1062
00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:13,280
epic black metal that has so much like power and presence,

1063
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,440
those three bands of the package like perfect kind of

1064
00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:19,480
like like synergy between them that's gonna be a hell

1065
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:20,000
of any Yeah.

1066
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,119
Speaker 1: I think that's also even like a perfect black metal

1067
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:25,440
bill for people who aren't that into black metal, because

1068
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,920
all of those bands, despite all being you know, kind

1069
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,639
of aesthetically and spiritually very black metal, It's not like

1070
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:34,519
you know, Death Heaven or something. It's like, clearly those

1071
00:49:34,559 --> 00:49:38,960
are like uber black metal in their presentation bands, but

1072
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:41,320
all of them have that flavor where like you don't

1073
00:49:41,519 --> 00:49:44,800
have to be like a biscuit tin lover to really

1074
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,440
vibe with those bands. So that canna be a hell

1075
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,800
of a show, and you know, everybody goes to that

1076
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,559
is gonna have a really, really wonderful time. Poison the

1077
00:49:50,639 --> 00:49:54,519
Well announced that they have got a seven LP career

1078
00:49:54,639 --> 00:49:58,679
spanning box set of all of their albums coming out

1079
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,760
on vinyl, which I must say I believe, you know,

1080
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,360
since I've kind of looked at this, I don't know

1081
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,119
how clickly this went. At least the link I am

1082
00:50:06,159 --> 00:50:08,320
looking at in the UK it says sold out. So

1083
00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:14,400
it looked looked tasty, you know, it looked looked tempting

1084
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,079
if you had one hundred and sixty pounds to drop

1085
00:50:16,159 --> 00:50:18,800
on seven Poison the Well Records. I guess that's not

1086
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:23,360
terrible terrible value, quite at tempting item. If you are

1087
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:24,760
one of the handful of what was it say, a

1088
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,519
thousand copies people who have ordered one of those, I'm

1089
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:29,639
sure you'll treasure. It looks like a very fucking sweet deal,

1090
00:50:29,679 --> 00:50:29,960
doesn't it.

1091
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,159
Speaker 3: I'm just crossing my fingers that they that they do

1092
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,800
give someone like the actual individually a proper individual repress now,

1093
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,159
because I do need opposite of December and Tear from

1094
00:50:38,199 --> 00:50:39,400
the Red on vinyl.

1095
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: Very very cool and a really quite heartwarming piece of

1096
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,400
news is the street in Chicago where Steve Albini's recording

1097
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,239
studio was located is apparently it's going to be renamed

1098
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,239
as Steve Albini Way by you know, the city, which,

1099
00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:59,039
in terms of recognizing someone's contributions to the music not

1100
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:00,639
it has to come out that city obviously. Of course,

1101
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:04,159
you know the world of alternaive music in general. We

1102
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,000
spoke at length when he passed about kind of what

1103
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,719
an icon of our culture he was. It's really nice

1104
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,199
that there's going to be a Steve Albinie Way over there.

1105
00:51:12,519 --> 00:51:15,039
So that is the big news round up for this

1106
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:18,519
particular news episode. Quickly to talk about some of the

1107
00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:20,639
other things we've got going on with T and M.

1108
00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:23,599
As mentioned up at the top, the reason that Sam

1109
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,960
cowarded out of here and went to see Bruce Springsteen

1110
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,239
is we were recording an album, Roulette with none other

1111
00:51:34,519 --> 00:51:39,400
than Alistair Alistair Dune from ashen Spire, whose album Hostile

1112
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,599
Architecture in twenty twenty two. Myself and Elliot particularly were

1113
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,519
like massively keen on and they have become really I

1114
00:51:46,599 --> 00:51:48,000
think they're one of the best bands in the country,

1115
00:51:48,039 --> 00:51:50,440
but also in general, they've become quite respected, you know,

1116
00:51:50,599 --> 00:51:53,880
in those kind of experimental, avant garde kind of heavy

1117
00:51:54,039 --> 00:51:56,920
music circles, and I think there will be a fair

1118
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,800
few eyes on them when they get round to making

1119
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,800
another record. So it was really nice to have Alistair

1120
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,880
on the show talking about a bunch of records that

1121
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,239
he chose, and he chose some like left field records.

1122
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,480
I think it was probably for the best that you

1123
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:09,800
weren't there something, to be honest, But.

1124
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 3: I just, like I said, I've listened to the first

1125
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,599
part of it, and when he talk about the things

1126
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:14,760
he could have brought on and yeah, so.

1127
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,079
Speaker 1: At the moment he goes, yeah, I'm really into Visigartha,

1128
00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:21,760
Eternal Chapping. I was like, motherfucker, you're telling me I

1129
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,599
could be talking about Visigartha right now and we're not.

1130
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 2: I did enjoy that, but yeah, no, like it sounds

1131
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,519
like interesting albums at the very least.

1132
00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, you know, really I loved havingim on the show.

1133
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,599
Is really really friendly, nice guy, really visibly passionate about

1134
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:39,159
the music he was talking about, which is exactly what

1135
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,039
you want from a guest who's doing that. Very eloquent

1136
00:52:42,079 --> 00:52:44,320
about them as well, and the reasons they kind of

1137
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,599
resonate with him. He chose, you know, he choose at

1138
00:52:46,679 --> 00:52:48,639
least one album that I fucking adore, and I really

1139
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,320
loved talking about that as well. But in general, like

1140
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,559
if you are into, you know, I feel interested in

1141
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:56,920
when we go outside of the usual that's not a

1142
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,960
bubble and talk about I think, you know, all the

1143
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,679
things he was talking about are like you know, different

1144
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,920
and left field or whatever. We were talking about how

1145
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,119
they then filter into you know, a band as like

1146
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,480
you know, extreme and metal and so on, as Ash

1147
00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:13,639
and Spire are. So it's really if you're interested in

1148
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,440
those kind of chats and how we draw those kind

1149
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,280
of connections. I think it's one of the most kind of,

1150
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,639
you know, interesting episodes that we've done in that particular

1151
00:53:21,679 --> 00:53:25,039
regard and loved having Alistair on the show. If he

1152
00:53:25,079 --> 00:53:26,400
ever hears this, you know, thank you once again for

1153
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,360
coming on. And as said, you know that is currently

1154
00:53:31,039 --> 00:53:34,079
you can now hear it for everybody. If you just

1155
00:53:34,119 --> 00:53:36,119
hop back on the podcast prior to this one you're

1156
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:37,920
listening to right now on this feed, you will see

1157
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,960
it right there. And it was really really wonderful to do.

1158
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,119
Fans of you know, noisy shit and you know, abstract

1159
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,920
hip hop and one of the weirdest queen covers you'll

1160
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,960
ever hear, all sorts of good stuff, So check that

1161
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:56,199
one out. Coming up this weekend, myself and Sam we

1162
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:57,960
are going to do another Tear and Does Horror. We've

1163
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,000
not too long ago, we did one on the Quiet

1164
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,679
Plays franchise, but we've got more horror movies to talk about,

1165
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,360
so we are going to do an episode this cop weekend,

1166
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,800
doubling up the conclusion of the ex trilogy Maxine that

1167
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,480
came out at the start of July with the far

1168
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,440
and away most kind of raved about horror movie of

1169
00:54:15,519 --> 00:54:17,280
this year's.

1170
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 2: Sort of the runaway success in it.

1171
00:54:18,599 --> 00:54:21,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking In terms of numbers, yeah, crazy long legs.

1172
00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:24,280
We're going to double those two up, which is kind

1173
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,199
of convenient because they you know, there are two movies

1174
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,599
that came out around the single time, we can kind

1175
00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:29,239
of wipe off the slate. But also I think there

1176
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,159
are actually a number of sort of links and parallels between,

1177
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,639
you know, kind of unexpected connections maybe, so that is

1178
00:54:35,679 --> 00:54:37,599
gonna be really interesting and fun to do. Like I said,

1179
00:54:37,639 --> 00:54:38,760
we are going to be doing that this weekend, and

1180
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,280
that will go up to the Patreon for you know,

1181
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,000
everyone who who kind of who supports and wants to

1182
00:54:44,039 --> 00:54:46,119
listen to that, that higher tier of where we do

1183
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,760
those podcasts. So thank you very much for everybody does that.

1184
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,880
You can find all that stuff at patreon dot com

1185
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:55,039
slash that's not metal. So that's kinds up the hyper

1186
00:54:55,039 --> 00:54:57,400
of last with the releases for this week, where we

1187
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,119
are beginning to one eyed fucking Obviously we spake about

1188
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:03,400
it so recently I didn't quite internalize just how soon

1189
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,199
it would be. Apparently the Smashing Pumpkins album Agora Maury May,

1190
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,599
which they announced very very recently, is out today. My god,

1191
00:55:11,639 --> 00:55:14,480
they like properly turn that one around. But the new

1192
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:19,199
Smashing Pumpkins album is out today, so I'll be fascinated

1193
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,480
to hear. I guess where the prevailing winds go on

1194
00:55:22,639 --> 00:55:25,079
that one, how into it people are and what kind

1195
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:27,239
of shape it takes. That's obviously the massive release of

1196
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,440
the week, unless you were, of course, an an Berlin fan.

1197
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:33,800
Where we have the new album Vega isout? Any exciting

1198
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,480
for that one, Sam? Not really, No, Well, there you go.

1199
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,639
Blues Pills, the kind of you know, quite long running

1200
00:55:40,679 --> 00:55:43,000
now but fairly dependable sort of you know blues like

1201
00:55:43,159 --> 00:55:46,079
rock band. They've got an album called Birthday. If you're

1202
00:55:46,119 --> 00:55:51,000
into you know UK dirtiness, UK's ludge Barbarian hermit, great

1203
00:55:51,039 --> 00:55:53,760
band name. I've got a record called Mean Sugar out

1204
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,719
Shadownell have got a self titled album I think is

1205
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,760
a debut out on Relapsed Records. This is It features

1206
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,800
members of Poison Ruin and stuff kind of funny luck

1207
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,519
and during the week. But I think this is just

1208
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,719
like a dungeon synth record from white people doing other stuff,

1209
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,920
which it makes sense that someone in Poison Ruin would

1210
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:15,079
do dungeons in that albums out. Blind Guardian are releasing

1211
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,639
Somewhere Far Beyond Revisited, which is a re recording of

1212
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,360
their now more than thirty year old not even like

1213
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,239
their biggest album, but kind of one of their classic albums.

1214
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,360
It's good album. It's a fucking great album. I'm not

1215
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,519
quite sure why they've re recorded it, but it's it's

1216
00:56:29,639 --> 00:56:30,559
it's there and it's out.

1217
00:56:30,639 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 2: We'll find out.

1218
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we have a handful of EPs. Old

1219
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,519
rock football Head is the name of the band who

1220
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:39,360
have released a band an EP call Before I Die,

1221
00:56:39,639 --> 00:56:42,239
I mentioned Poison Ruin. They have a new EP out

1222
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,519
on the same day as the Dungeon synth project called Confreirera.

1223
00:56:45,679 --> 00:56:47,800
But Poison Ruin are really fucking good, so I will

1224
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,639
be get your battle axes out there. Yeah, we'll be

1225
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:52,800
checking that one out. And you know, for some raw

1226
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,239
probably also enjoys a Dungeon black metal colder room. I

1227
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,679
have got an EP called Desecration of the Bastile. If

1228
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:05,639
you are for more like no French blasphemy, if you

1229
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,760

1235
00:57:21,639 --> 00:57:23,920
on me. I still have to buy like things for it,

1236
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,079

1239
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,320
will be that tea and does Horror long Legs and
