Hello and welcome to the Metalheads Podcast.

00:01:23.860 --> 00:01:52.500
Hey, what's up, everybody? Justin returns. How you doing, buddy? I'll be better. I'll be better once I'm at MDF. That's my goal. It's been crazy. I've been crazy work. I moved not far, but I moved and that's hell for someone with OCD. So that was crazy. And then like a week later, I ended up getting COVID. So that was fun. After dodging it this entire time.

00:01:53.180 --> 00:02:22.220
You know, a month after going to like a 15,000 seat arena to see Tool, somehow I managed just to get it randomly. Yeah. So that was fun. But I'm feeling all right, you know. So now I'm just like, all right, so you got to do this like last bit of shit at work. And then I'm just, it's MDF time. And yeah, it's been like my like, I'm not going to kill someone because I have a reason to like get past this shit, you know. So super stoked for it. Yeah, a couple more weeks and we will be there.

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:53.000
Yeah, one of my coworkers just got COVID and it was two days after I saw her. So there was a bit of a scare there, but I tested negative a couple of times. So yeah, my wife just got over it about three days ago. Yeah. And it was weird because her and I, we were in Mexico and I don't know if that's where she got it, but what was weird is that we were everywhere like together. There's nothing that she was exposed to that I wasn't exposed to, but I didn't get it.

00:02:53.180 --> 00:03:20.900
Our kids didn't get it. I mean, our kids had both had it prior to that. But yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure my husband had it too, but he kept testing negative for it. So he's still isolated though. It was weird. Same. I haven't had it. Well, at least I don't think I have. Not to my knowledge. I would say like at least from my experience, I got triple backs, I guess, is what they call it. Yeah, me too.

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:53.160
like a head cold and then you just like really zapped for a while the thing that's weird about it is that after like that one that first initial week span of things you start feeling like you're like oh okay i'm feel good like you know when you normally get like a flu or something like that where like it's like after that week you know like you're good and you can go out about your business and do stuff but it's weird you go like two or three days and then all of a sudden you're like zapped all of a sudden for like a day and then like and then you're good the next day for another few days and it gets it gets further and further apart but

00:03:53.200 --> 00:04:22.960
But that's the only thing I'm like, I've never experienced this before after coming out of getting sick with something, you know? So besides that, I wasn't too intense, you know? I didn't get like a fever or anything, so. Yeah. I'm going to get the old man fourth shot before we travel. I'm going to get my next week. I'm over 50, so I can get the over 50 shot. Yeah, me too. Every little last bit of protection, you know? And it does sound like most people have had your experience that I've heard of, or like sort of the gas kind of sick. Well, a bad flu or whatever for a while.

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:53.160
you know not as many hospital things. So you guys are in the hot zone right now man. I just was reading on CNN or something New York's kind of getting hit pretty hard right now. Yeah yeah pretty much everyone a lot of people I'm gonna say everyone but like a lot of people that I know that were good up until now I've gotten it so and not even like from the same you know like social situation like that just it's out there. Yeah it's just just around yeah. Yeah the one thing I would say about my wife's is that we legit thought it

00:04:53.200 --> 00:05:22.240
was allergies. And she read up a little bit more on the Omicron thing. And it is like, because it's more upper respiratory, it felt like there used to be distinguishing characteristics between the two. And I feel like those have kind of blurred. And it was, I mean, it was like a runny nose. What was the other thing? But like, she was just sitting here, she tested negative. She's like, is this what I'm like every year with allergies? And I'm like, this feels a little bit more intense, I think, just because it took everything that was allergies and just made it worse.

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:52.920
But it was those same symptoms. I'm just like, you know. Dude, I fucking, I went from going into the move to getting COVID and I finally get over it. I'm like, and it was like a week or two later. I'm like, oh, man, like I feel like I'm feeling the effects again. I'm like, oh, no, it's fucking allergies. I rolled right from COVID into allergy season. I'm like, you fucking kidding me? I couldn't get like a little bit longer of a break between this shit. But what about it? Basically, you're just talking about allergies. Because I don't have, I'm not allergic to anything. So she's just talking about how she can like feel it coming up.

00:05:52.960 --> 00:06:22.940
I was like what do you do just has medicines for it but almost never completely combats it you know I don't take anything for the allergies because the cure is worse than the than the allergies because whatever I take it it blocks up my head and then I have these wicked sinus headaches because I'm not draining you know it's like I'm still having all this snot but instead of blowing my nose every 30 seconds and draining into my throat and coughing I get massive sinus

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:52.440
I'd rather blow my nose than have a headache. Blowing my nose doesn't hurt. I wish I had seasonal allergies. I have them 365 days a year. Every day is an allergy day. I take a Zyrtec every day. I get shots every two to three weeks. Do you know what your problem is? Meaning did you scratch test and everything? I've never done that. When I got my first test in D.C., I was allergic to 42 of 45 things I tested before.

00:06:57.400 --> 00:07:22.820
I got the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. I just like, I'm allergic to everything. Great. Yeah. But it's because of where I live. So now if I was in any one of your locations, minus George, because he's close, I mean, my allergies would probably be completely different. They're different when I'm in California. So me too, though. But like when I come out there for MDF, I probably won't even really have them. But if I, if I stayed,

00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:24.680
for a month, but then I developed them.

00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:26.880
This happens to me many times.

00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:29.400
My vacations are always like, hey, I don't have to take anything right now.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.340
The expression, things are fluid.

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:33.760
Your allergies are fluid.

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.380
They constantly evolve and change.

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.720
At least they have for me.

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.820
And a lot of fluids coming out of George, apparently.

00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:43.540
Welcome to the old man's fluid problems podcast.

00:07:44.760 --> 00:07:46.020
It has nothing to do with being old, man.

00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:47.200
I've had these since I was a kid.

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:48.860
I've had them my whole life.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.580
Yeah, actually, it was worse when I was a kid.

00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:52.560
I don't know.

00:07:52.620 --> 00:08:21.180
We should get Zyrtec as a sponsor. Yeah, for real. And Metamucil. All right. So, Justin's our guest, but we don't have an interview planned. We have some ideas for some roundtable things that we're going to talk about. But first, just to piss well off, because he's not here yet, we're going to go straight into t-shirt and beer check, not wait an hour and a half like we usually do. So, Justin. Me, I'm up.

00:08:22.200 --> 00:08:52.040
I'm wearing. Angle down. Oh, wait. Yeah. Yeah. I figured, why not? They just released the, oh, it's Temple of Void. Sorry, I have to say it. Right. Temple of Void. Little skull, not skull, helmet dude with some horns and shit come out of a vortex. Pretty cool. Yeah. Just skulls. Bolt-throwing. Yeah, right? That's what I was thinking, too. But, yeah, Temple of Void just came out with that single, their second single yesterday. So I've been jamming that.

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:57.040
I'm like might as well represent you know there you go and you were I saw you're drinking

00:08:57.180 --> 00:09:02.660
t-shirts so oh yeah I'm drinking um I just made myself uh yeah I don't fuck I don't fuck around with beer that

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:08.580
much I didn't think so but um yeah no I just I made myself like a little old-fashioned nice some uh maker with

00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:13.340
some makers mark I've been trying to get through since Christmas because I don't drink that much

00:09:14.170 --> 00:09:19.839
um so I made uh yeah I made my like a makeshift one of those so awesome on that yeah

00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:20.680
Mark is on.

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.400
Oh,

00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:22.560
yeah.

00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:23.380
I'm wearing my,

00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:23.700
um,

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:26.300
bucket of blood shirt.

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:28.540
It's like a,

00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:29.820
like a team Jersey.

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.200
It's got a cool back part with like a,

00:09:34.780 --> 00:09:35.140
uh,

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:35.520
Oh,

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:36.080
it's like a skull.

00:09:36.260 --> 00:09:36.400
Yeah.

00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:36.980
Nice.

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:37.700
Yeah.

00:09:37.910 --> 00:09:38.040
Cool.

00:09:38.130 --> 00:09:38.760
Like an animal.

00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:40.460
Kitty skull.

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:40.940
Kitty.

00:09:42.660 --> 00:09:44.300
It's like a saber tooth tiger skull.

00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:44.700
I think.

00:09:45.020 --> 00:09:45.180
Yeah.

00:09:45.370 --> 00:09:45.800
That looks right.

00:09:46.060 --> 00:09:46.220
And,

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:46.700
um,

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:47.700
so,

00:09:47.790 --> 00:09:48.460
and then I'm drinking,

00:09:48.580 --> 00:10:18.540
the Trifecta Triple IPA with Citro and Sabra Hops, a collaboration beer by Turning Point, Oak Cliff and Celestial Beer Works. And I got it from Tavor because Matt's been talking about that forever and I haven't been able to do it because in Hawaii you can't. But I joined it last month so I got a box of stuff. So including Anchorage beers which I'm really excited about because I don't get those

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:48.480
very often. They had like one of their beers and it was delicious. So thanks, Matt. Hey, you're welcome. And I'm sorry. And the same sentence is what I would say. Cause it gets to be, I got my neighbor doing it too. It like the marketing is brilliant. Cause I feel like they hit me with the best stuff when I'm already drinking. And so my thumb is much heavier at those times thinking like, you know what? My beer fridge is full. I don't need more beer, but this could disappear soon. So I should probably hit the button, you know? Um, and my wife's like,

00:10:48.580 --> 00:11:18.540
What are all these Tavor charges? Maybe you should watch those. Right, right. Oh, yeah. It's good. It's all good. I mean, you know, in some ways, it's kind of more fun because when I go to the liquor store, I'm buying, but you're usually getting two to four to six to 12 of everything. And sometimes you don't want to do that type of commitment. And so it's kind of fun to get, you know, single double doses of things. And stuff you just never had before. And so many breweries on there I'd never even heard of. I mean, I can order from Android, but I can also get it

00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:48.540
through there sometimes and I always take them up on that because there's usually an overlap on what I can get directly from a droid and stuff is hard to pass even like we finder you know it's been good to get some of those and just some really you know just really unique barrel-edge stuff that most of which like you know it goes over my head in terms of the quality of it but you know like I say if it hits me at the right time I'm hitting the head to my crate button so and then you will surprise at the end of the month so

00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:49.500
It is nice

00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:51.200
All right

00:11:51.290 --> 00:11:52.640
As far as functional things

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:53.360
I've got my

00:11:53.470 --> 00:11:54.620
Ed Horier shirt on

00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:55.260
Nice

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.000
And I am drinking

00:11:57.420 --> 00:11:58.580
This is a hazy IPA

00:11:58.620 --> 00:11:58.860
It's called

00:11:59.120 --> 00:11:59.760
Altar of Madness

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.920
Pretty easy choice

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.920
On why I would buy it

00:12:02.420 --> 00:12:03.140
It's kind of your

00:12:03.280 --> 00:12:04.200
Traditional hazy IPA

00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:04.640
From a brewery

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.440
Called Barrel Theory

00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:06.880
Which I would definitely

00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:07.620
Recommend anyone

00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:08.140
If they're in the

00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:08.660
Snicker Woods

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:10.880
And that's it for me

00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:12.460
All right

00:12:13.380 --> 00:12:13.820
John

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:14.680
Cool

00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:16.160
So I'm wearing my

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:17.399
Classic simple

00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:46.960
but effective amorphous elegy shirt, which is just simple, but you know exactly what it is. And I'm drinking not a beer, but a big beer. Of something called Down With The Cygnus. And now when I had this yesterday when I met Jen and a friend of ours, and then I started texting Jay after I had a few beers.

00:12:49.020 --> 00:13:17.360
When I originally posted this on Untappd, I said, I'm just going to pretend that this song refers to Rush Cygnus X1 and not Disturbed. Because I just won't. Exactly. Anyway, again, down with the Cygnus. It's an IPA. It's only 6.5%, which is really nice. It's extremely clear. Unfortunately, I have to call it a West Coast IPA because you can actually see through it, which is ridiculous. West Coast IPAs are actual IPAs.

00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:46.720
And it's big. Oh, yeah. Because John likes big beers and he cannot lie. Yeah. Is that a big beer or is my head just really small? And it's from Rocket Frog Brewing Company. They're from Starman, Virginia here. And the brewery's all based on space shit, subtles, launches, all that stuff. Space shit. Space. No, not space shit. Space and shit. You always got to have that and in there.

00:13:46.820 --> 00:14:15.760
When you don't know what else to say. Spaceship. You know. Yeah, and then follow with you know, exactly. Shout out to Josh. All right. That would be Jay. What are you wearing? What are you not drinking? Well, this is for later, but I picked up a couple of, I was kind of feeling Belgian. Oh, that's my girl there, the Duchess. She feels Belgian every day.

00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:46.700
I've never had this one for some reason. I think it's pretty common. Those are going in the freezer here in about an hour and then I always buy a race at five. Standard. Those are the three for tonight. Have you tried the cherry duchess? No, I don't think I have. I have bought this one several times, but I know I haven't bought any offshoots or anything. Yeah, I haven't either. I've wanted to try it, but whenever I find it, I like the original so much that I can't take a chance.

00:14:47.860 --> 00:15:16.520
The Belgian section at the places, the big box places, has not been that good lately. They just start stocking like 12 things. You know what I mean? So I really need to go. There's a place in Berkeley I need to get to that event in a while that has good stuff. Cool. And then just along Matt's drunk dialing thing, this, I, for some reason, dude, every time about 10 o'clock at night when I'm sitting there and I've had maybe two beers,

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:46.580
And this has happened to me, I swear to God, four times. I'll be thumbing through like Facebook and also in the Motorhead shop is like, Hey, you should have this. Remember me? Did I buy so much? I've never bought a Motorhead shirt when I wasn't drunk. And that includes this one, which is pretty fucking cool. So it's just, and this is a celebration 40th anniversary of a record that I know John agrees with me is underrated, which is iron fist. Hell yeah. I love it.

00:15:46.820 --> 00:16:16.800
We're 40 years out from Iron Fist now. And I also actually ordered this one and an Iron Fist Tour European 82 Tour shirt. Motorhead's doing this cool thing now where Maiden's doing it too, where they're putting out classic t-shirts. You can buy Power Slave t-shirts, like Power Slave Tour t-shirts with the dates on the back and stuff. Are they the long-sleep softball jersey shirts too? I bought one and it wasn't, but there probably was. They have so much merch. They probably have some stuff like that. Just real quick, if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, these are...

00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:45.900
I remember these, they were white shirts, but then they'd have a colored sleeve and the sleeve would only, it was like a capri pants sleeve. It only came like to your forearm, but they were the, they're softball shirts. So you'd have these white shirts, like black sleeves. It just looked horrible, but we all had them. I still, I still have somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. I have a pig destroyer one and I have a holy diver one. Actually. I've never owned one. I've seen them, but I've never owned one. You know what? Don't buy one. Cause I tell you what, every time I put one, I'm like, I'm not wearing this fucking thing. Exactly.

00:16:46.820 --> 00:17:16.800
I think I had one in middle school but it was Stan from South Park and then on the back he was vomiting that was mine in like middle school I had one of those like that I had mob rules tour shirt and I had scream for vengeance tour shirt yeah yeah I remember that one and I remember like Van Halen and and yeah stuff like that all right so on the on the motorhead trip can I just say real quick we're in the market for another dog and I think it was Tuesday my wife sent me one for adoption and his name was

00:17:34.919 --> 00:17:38.040
the 8th of May.

00:17:46.800 --> 00:18:16.780
Bay is coming. It's Motorhead Day. I thought it advertised screaming, but okay. Yeah. I love that. I think this is a shirt they were selling during that period. I think they should just design a shirt with a limo and a motorcycle running over one of the Kardashians. Yeah. I do really like that shirt though, Jay. That's great. It's pretty slick, yeah. So I dug deep into my closet today to wear something that, because I always wear the same shit over and over again on here. So I

00:18:16.820 --> 00:18:46.680
I found my King Diamond shirt from the last tour from 2019. Got that same one. And yeah. If I'm not mistaken, you got a hoodie from that too. I did. I've never worn it because the art was kind of creepy. Well, that's what Barb said. She said it was creepy. And I guess it was just kind of not very cool looking. Yeah. The art was just kind of eh. It's a little eh. I know the one you're talking about. And I've walked down that road before when you're standing in line. You're like, fuck yeah. And then you're like, oh my God.

00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:47.380
Exactly.

00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:57.800
And I started with Birmingham Horn, the latest version of Inningarder, with the cool, well-dressed Viking.

00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:01.240
Strap into that chair, baby.

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:04.720
Yeah, with the cap, not the cork.

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:11.860
And shortly, there will be a Three Floyds Dreadnought Imperial IPA.

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:14.020
Nice. Dreadnought's awesome.

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:14.780
I haven't.

00:19:15.020 --> 00:19:15.560
Wait, I did try.

00:19:15.560 --> 00:19:16.320
I haven't won last night.

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:45.040
Yeah, it was good. But I hadn't seen it before, so I snagged that. I like Dreadnought a lot. All right, so now, oh, before we get into anything else, I want to mention, I went to the Natural History Museum the other day, and I saw this fossilized skeleton of like an old mastodon. This thing was fucking huge. It was like a Leviathan. Anyway, I just thought you guys might want to hear that.

00:19:47.440 --> 00:20:16.440
Oh, I understand what you're doing there. And that was nice of you. Matt doesn't have to cheat now to make that his album of the episode. Well done, George. And he wasn't even paying attention. He needs food, but I appreciate it. He was in a little remission there, so give him a break. No, of course, of course. Oh! Caught that. Caught that, yeah. All right. So, we're going to...

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:46.160
In a couple of weeks is Maryland Death Fest. And we are all in some shape or form going to that. And so we thought we would just sort of talk about, we're going to the Edison lot. We're not doing the Ram Setter Soundstage stuff, as far as I know. At least I'm not. So that'll be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 27th through 29th. Outdoors. They're promising more seating,

00:20:46.480 --> 00:21:15.820
more shade, more water. Hopefully they come through with that. Hopefully the weather is moderate and not ridiculous Baltimore hot. It's going to be hot as fuck. Probably. It's always hot that time of year. Either that or it's going to rain a lot. Or it rains and then it stops raining and it gets really fucking hot and humid then. Yeah. So, all right. So I thought maybe we'd just like run through the,

00:21:16.060 --> 00:21:46.040
the order for the three days and be like, hey, is anybody like this band? Okay, no, maybe the next one. So Friday opening up at Edison Lot is a band called Scorched. I've never heard of them. Anybody? Yeah, I love them. They're great. Really? Sucks to be you. You got to be there first thing then. I know, what the fuck? No, I, you know, the last record they dropped was pretty awesome. It's a little bit more on the brutal side of things, but it's the

00:21:46.080 --> 00:22:15.260
falls into that new wave of like old school death metal. Um, uh, yeah, I thought, I think they're great. I would love to see them. I miss them. Uh, I had a, like a conflicting show. I think the last time they came around here. So, um, I'd love to see them again if I can get my ass going at that time. It's three 30. So hopefully, but, uh, but it is the first one. So Thursday, so it depends on who I run into Thursday, I guess, of how quickly I'm going to be up and about.

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:45.340
So then next we have Graveyard. Is this like Graveyard Graveyard? Like the stonery, doomy kind of graveyard? Oh, no. Is there another deathyard? It's a death metal band, yeah. I had to look it up too because I felt the same thing because I actually saw Graveyard with Opeth. I think that's who I saw. I don't even remember. But no, it's not. They are a death metal band. They actually sound pretty interesting. They're on my to listen to list before the

00:22:45.900 --> 00:23:15.140
Before the best, just to see if they're worth it or not. From here on out, the day gets interesting. Next up is Massacre. It's like, what? They're so early in the lineup. That's crazy. But when you see the rest of the lineup, I like Massacre. I think Will probably likes Massacre. Any comments on Massacre? Nah, I'm excited.

00:23:16.580 --> 00:23:45.160
All right. Then we have Atheist, which by the way, I, um, when I, I was in Guitar Center on Thursday, uh, dropping off a guitar and I saw this dude at the other end of the store wearing an Atheist shirt and I'm just like, you know, but anyway, yeah, Atheist. Um, I don't know. Do they play much anymore to do anything much? Is this like a, it's just really, what's his name? Kelly Schaefer. Is that his name? Yes. Yeah. It's just,

00:23:48.340 --> 00:24:15.200
Yeah, it's his deal. I think from what I heard him on an interview, and I think he was kind of starting to get this role in right before the pandemic. He was going to start going out and towing a lot more. I think he had some issue with his hand or something, so I think he got someone else to play. He hasn't played in a long time, I think. Yeah, I think he just sings now, so I think once he got all that sorted out, he was planning on going back out, but I think the pandemic fucked it up.

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:45.200
So I think they're going to be around after this essentially. Cool. And I'm totally looking fucking forward to seeing them. Yeah, that'll be neat. I've never seen them. I'm stoked. I'd love to see them. It's just unfortunately it's just a one dude. So it's yeah. One dude is better than no dude. It's true. You know, so but I won't be able to see him. So right, right. John won't be there this day. Oh, John, come on. It's like the one one of the bands we talk about together.

00:24:45.380 --> 00:25:15.280
about how we like them and no one else likes them as much. I know. I know. That's one of the bands. There's two bands I really wanted to see and I was one of them, but got to pick and choose your days because starting with this for the next, what, two straight weeks, three weekends, it's like crazy. So anyway, go ahead, George. Yeah, I'm seeing the who like the Monday before this and then like after this, it's just so many shows. But anyway, next band is Monstrosity, which was the band.

00:25:15.360 --> 00:25:44.880
that gave us Corpse Grinder initially. I've never really listened to them all that much other than a quick, what did they sound like? Oh, okay. And you know, not that I didn't like it. I just, I actually did kind of like it, but I just haven't listened to them much. Either. Yeah. I kind of have the same feeling like they're totally adequate death metal, but I just, for some reason, they'd never hooked me into where I'm like familiar with their discography or anything like that. Yeah. I feel like their name is better than the music.

00:25:45.360 --> 00:26:15.340
I really like that name but I just never completely drawn in but who knows you know how it is with live stuff sometimes you see him you're like oh now it clicks yeah then we have suffocation which I thought they like stopped or did no no Frank Mullen stops the singer stopped okay so they're gonna be there with a new singer yeah yeah he's um a rep in the in the brutal death metal scene is a pretty reputable uh guy like

00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:41.980
He's been around. I saw them live with him. He did a really fucking good job. I'm not too worried. I think if anyone's worried, they shouldn't be. Listen, yes, the magic of Frank Mullen was not there. It's better than not being able to see Suffocation. Isn't Suffocation your favorite band, Justin? Yeah. I remember that from the last cast.

00:26:46.799 --> 00:27:15.020
I feel like if I'm giving them a good note, then that should, I guess, maybe stand for something. I don't know. Yeah, but yeah, no, I'm totally down for it. And I'm hoping they're going to drop a fucking record. They keep hinting at it, but I don't know. All right. I saw them with the other singer was good. I don't know if it was the same one now, but so Justin, they are from New York as well, aren't they? Yeah. So you've been able to see them with Frank. Yeah, they're like right up the fucking road for me. I keep saying I want to write it.

00:27:15.340 --> 00:27:45.320
Yeah, no, I wish. I keep like, god damn it, like, why can't I run into fucking Frank Mullen in the supermarket? Like, I'm that close. Like, I'm that nearby where he lives. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah. There was two singers for a little bit there. So I saw them on, like, a multi-band tour. Not Sounds of the Underground, but it would have been, like, ugh. I can't think of the name. It would have been with Niall and

00:27:45.840 --> 00:28:14.740
Yeah, I think it's the same dude that's going to be there. I think the other guy that they had, I think only was maybe doing like the European fest, possibly. Cool. All right. Next, bloodbath. Starting to get a little serious here. Massacre, monstrosity, bloodbath, suffocation, atheist. Come on. Yeah, it's a good day. You could just stop right there if you wanted to.

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:43.500
You could, but wait, there's more. Next, you have obituary. What? Yes. Fucking obituary. Insert Will's favorite band dialogue here. But if you think we're done, we're still not done. Because then you have carcass. Sorry, Matt, carcass. Sorry, my heart stopped for a second.

00:28:44.820 --> 00:29:13.760
Yeah, it's a crazy day. That is going to be... I haven't seen Carcass yet live. But it's... I haven't either. The three bands from Carcass's tour. I saw them once on the Surgical Steel tour. I think it was the Decibel tour for Surgical Steel. But Carcass's touring, I won't name any of the bands, but I think this is the stop of the tour for Baltimore. Jay and I saw them at Decibel Fest with Will. Right. And then you hung out with them. Yeah, we hung out with those there.

00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:43.460
He was honestly super fucking chill. But in any case, this is also the first time we will have seen them for those of us. But I've seen them since the new record came out. So that'll be cool too because we'll get to hear some of those songs. No doubt. And I'm pretty excited about that because I hope they play flesh-dripping Sonic Torment saying, you know, I fucking love that song so much. Everything else in the record too. Totally psyched to see them. And honestly, if we get lucky, we'll run into them again. I think they're kind of guys just going to hang out.

00:29:44.820 --> 00:30:14.660
Yeah, I think it's just crazy. That day is like enough for a festival. I know. There's going to be some seriously pummeled and bruised people after that afternoon of pits. Oh, man. It's like, damn. And what sucks, too, is all these, well, it doesn't suck because it's still awesome that we're going to MDF, but like they have all these like tour runoffs. And because I guess maybe because like of where I'm located, they're all like within like four days of the festival. But they all have these killer like opening acts and like, you know, like that, like for you, like,

00:30:14.840 --> 00:30:44.600
Younger Bands that aren't going to be at MDF. It's like, oh, I want to see those guys. And then it's like, I'm not going, I'm not doing that. I can't. I don't have the stamina. Yeah. Stamina is something you're going to need for this weekend. Especially if it's hot. It is. It is brutal. It's like two o'clock in the afternoon and you're like, I need some shade, some water, maybe a bed. Yeah. And I mean, unless you're old or rather, unless you're not old.

00:30:44.840 --> 00:31:14.800
like Matt and Mark's on will be fine and Justin you'll probably fine but but the rest of us are going home in an ambulance yeah but it it it it it it's gonna be a blast I hope the hot dog vendor is there again I love those hot dogs they lived off them last time oh the vegan ones yeah I gotta stay out of the pit because I I mean I did get hurt at the last one yeah that was crazy no more emergency rooms for you please well no I guess I gotta be in the pit that's the that was the moral of the story I was not in the pit yeah yeah remember the only thing beneath you is

00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:44.780
It's going to be Blacktop too. Yeah, this is common. Yeah, you go down, you're getting road rash. I'm hanging back with John. Yeah, it's so spread out in some spots that we stood in the back for I don't know how many bands and we still, it was like we were right up there. It's just, it's a massive, you can't even describe how big the parking lot is. It's just massive. You can always find some place to stand. It's like when you walk in, it's like, fuck, gotta go all the way to that backstage, you know, over by the

00:31:46.220 --> 00:32:14.660
Yeah. Well, you know, it's, if you stand right in the middle, you can just turn and cause there's two stages. And as soon as one stops, the other one starts. Uh, and so if you're just right in the middle, you can just look this way, see one stage and then look this way and see the other stage. And, uh, but, but that's right in the middle of the sun. Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to figure out the layout cause I had never been there before. And I'm like, Mike, is there enough time to travel?

00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:43.220
Oh God, yeah. You can hear it. That's awesome. Like George said, if you stand in that spot, you literally just can walk 30 feet and you still wouldn't be near anybody because it's so big and you can move a little closer. Then you just walk that 30 feet back. It's funny because it's kind of like a herd. It's like everybody in front of one stage. As soon as the first band ends, everybody's like over the other stage. It's not like it's a mile or anything. It's just not that bad. It's like a small town carnival or something.

00:32:44.800 --> 00:32:45.880
Football Field Lank.

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:46.480
Yeah.

00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:47.180
Just as well.

00:32:47.520 --> 00:32:49.700
And we'll be drinking, so time doesn't matter.

00:32:50.140 --> 00:32:50.400
Yeah.

00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:54.720
So that's the other cool thing is that we can, we'll have a cooler out in the parking lot.

00:32:55.740 --> 00:33:03.540
Well, we got to figure that out because unless Will's bringing his vehicle, somebody needs to park there.

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.900
I was planning to valet mine at the hotel.

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:11.540
I could ask Looch.

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:12.280
Can you rent a van?

00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:13.600
He's always too happy to be.

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:14.120
That's true.

00:33:14.280 --> 00:33:43.820
Looch is the man with the plan with the beer in his hand. Yeah. So I bet he'll do it, but I'll reach out to him because I'm actually going to write. I told you that I'm writing down with Looch. Yeah. Yeah. Which I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to seeing him. I like him. He's a good guy. What I'm hoping is at least on the day that I'm there, that I'm standing in a group with everyone in the parking lot and almost as I look over to my right, the franchise is just standing next to me out of nowhere. That's what I'm hoping to do. I hope so. I talked to him about it, but I haven't heard back.

00:33:44.280 --> 00:33:44.920
Yeah. So,

00:34:14.260 --> 00:34:44.120
Yeah, yeah. Which version of it was, Jay? Sergei's in a band called War Troll. They wear masks and stuff. Oh, I thought you actually went, I was going to say, when did Goblin come to the United States? I thought it was going to be Goblin-Con for a second. Goblin-E. Goblin did play here a while back, John. I was going to say, fuck, if Goblin was out there, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Anyway, yeah, that's right. Well, we'll make up for, we'll make up for Lost Time this time. I like that War Troll record, too. It is good.

00:34:44.280 --> 00:35:13.840
I think Adam's a good writer. I like that. He's a cool dude. I just saw him the other day, too, at the Barney Gar show. So Saturday, John will be here for this one. First band, 1230. This one's going to be a little harder to make. So, Justin, are you a big fan of Cardiac Arrest? Actually, I did like one of their records. I did like one of their records. I think it came out like a couple years ago. But not enough for 1230. Sorry. Not enough for 1230. What about the next band?

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:44.240
What about drawn and quartered? I'm kind of interested in that. Yeah, no, that last, was that last year's record? Did it come out last year? I think so. Sounds about right. Yeah, I was digging that. That was pretty good. It didn't make like, it didn't get too high up, but I did like it. Yeah, but then I got to be there by 145 for enforced because those dudes are like the new Sepultura, man. They rock. Are they Brazilian? Is that why you say Sepultura? No, it just sounds like Sepultura. I think they're from Texas, actually. Yeah, it's just kind of like that like crossover thrashy

00:35:44.680 --> 00:36:12.600
death feel to it. Death Thresh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Then definitely, definitely got to be there for the next band. Cerebral Rot. That'll be cool to see them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of these bands I have not seen live. That's what's really exciting about this. Even some of the ones, maybe I'm not a huge fan of them. I'm still excited to see them just because I want to see what they can do on stage. Yeah, definitely. Sure.

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.580
I know these guys. I'm sure I have some of their music, but

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:20.320
I haven't listened to them lately.

00:36:21.080 --> 00:36:21.820
And so I'm forgetting.

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.520
I think it's death metal, isn't it?

00:36:26.140 --> 00:36:27.880
I think so. I'm pretty sure it is.

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:29.840
I think I maybe

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:32.000
did a little test

00:36:32.080 --> 00:36:33.940
to see if I liked them or not.

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:35.420
But I honestly don't remember.

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.040
I listen to too much shit now.

00:36:38.060 --> 00:36:39.600
I know I've at least

00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:41.700
listened to them on Bandcamp if not purchased it.

00:36:43.600 --> 00:36:43.780
Anyway.

00:36:43.840 --> 00:37:13.620
Okay, should be interesting. Then, Changing Gears, November's Doom, whom we have seen at MDF in the past. Yeah, I'll be down for seeing them. I like them. Yeah. They're really good live. I've seen them a couple times. Yeah. It's going to be kind of wild to see Paul now because he is, like, dropped so much weight. He looks really good. Yeah. So you're interested to hear how his voice sounds. He doesn't have all that behind it now. So I always thought he was one of the better,

00:37:14.300 --> 00:37:15.020
out there.

00:37:15.260 --> 00:37:15.360
So,

00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:17.300
but they're great live.

00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:17.880
Yeah,

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:18.180
they are.

00:37:19.640 --> 00:37:23.200
Then we have onslaught and I know will likes them.

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.300
I like them.

00:37:24.580 --> 00:37:24.720
I,

00:37:25.020 --> 00:37:25.240
um,

00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:25.940
I,

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:27.580
I don't like so much the modern thing,

00:37:27.600 --> 00:37:27.980
the power,

00:37:28.260 --> 00:37:28.980
power from hell.

00:37:29.040 --> 00:37:30.220
I love that record when it came out.

00:37:30.620 --> 00:37:31.540
Right now.

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:31.960
I,

00:37:32.260 --> 00:37:33.180
I know at some point,

00:37:33.300 --> 00:37:33.440
uh,

00:37:33.600 --> 00:37:35.360
what's his name from grim reaper saying with them?

00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:36.620
Um,

00:37:37.220 --> 00:37:38.880
I no idea who's singing with them now.

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.800
Is it like the original singer or just some new guy or any idea?

00:37:43.580 --> 00:38:12.880
What time are they on? They're on at 4.40. It's nice to write next to some of these time to get a beer. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because of the history, I'll be like, I want to catch a song or two at least and be like, yeah, that's Onslaught. Then you'll walk across the long parking lot into the parking lot across the street from the parking lot, which is literally like 10 feet to where the beer is. It's funny. You know, I'm on the MDF

00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:14.380
Facebook group.

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:19.400
And you see, I mean, it's mostly all, hey, I need tickets. Hey, I'm selling tickets. Hey, I need tickets.

00:38:19.740 --> 00:38:21.000
Why these people don't get together, I don't know.

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:27.000
But every once in a while, you see somebody ask a question, and somebody was asking if there was parking there.

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:29.660
And a couple people were like, no, there's no parking.

00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:31.260
I'm like, you fucking kidding?

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.880
There's parking for miles.

00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:40.280
Like, you can park 10 cars apart, and everybody would have parking.

00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.000
because it's never full.

00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:43.920
It's always...

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.840
You leave your car there overnight, though?

00:38:46.340 --> 00:38:46.880
No, no.

00:38:47.300 --> 00:38:48.000
No, then you leave.

00:38:48.620 --> 00:38:48.700
Yeah.

00:38:49.130 --> 00:38:50.100
Then you drive back and...

00:38:50.140 --> 00:38:54.460
That's why I'm just going to valet it at the hotel and Uber over because I don't want to drive over there.

00:38:55.020 --> 00:38:55.180
Yeah.

00:38:57.459 --> 00:38:58.180
But, but...

00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:59.880
Yeah, it's two big massive lots.

00:39:01.060 --> 00:39:04.240
Yeah, but if you have a car there, then it's...

00:39:04.240 --> 00:39:07.200
You have in and out privileges, so you just go out,

00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:38.420
Sit in the AC if you need to. Pop the trunk. Stand around, have beers. You can still hear the music if you care. Anyway. We should get a Winnebago. No shit, man. That would be awesome. The chill pad. In and out privileges. That could be something, George. Oh, believe me, you're going to have in and out privileges, Matt. Maybe copy with a little spoon. Hey, George, what time does November's doom go on? 3.50. Fuck.

00:39:39.080 --> 00:39:43.780
So this is really funny. Nobody probably remembers this, but last time

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.580
we were there, a couple people left to go watch Champions League, the final

00:39:50.370 --> 00:39:54.100
for, I can't remember who was playing in that game. I think it was Real Madrid and Atletico

00:39:54.370 --> 00:39:58.020
were playing, and they were giving me shit for not going because I'm a big

00:39:58.620 --> 00:40:01.820
football, a.k.a. soccer fan, and

00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:06.240
Liverpool's playing in the final against Real Madrid starting at 3 o'clock, and so

00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:35.700
I'm like, fuck, how am I going to watch this and watch November's Doom at 3.50? Because the game starts at 3.50. So I'm going to have to figure out. I might have to bump my data plan up and have my phone with me while I'm watching both the two phones. I hear you about November's Doom, but if you really want to go, I'll go to a bar and watch that fucking game with you. That'd be fun. We'll see. Maybe I'll watch the first time. I'll do that, too, because I've seen November's Doom a bunch of times. And really, for me, I just want to hang out with you guys mostly.

00:40:35.700 --> 00:41:05.380
I mean, of course, I want to see these bands, but. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. But I was just like, it just figures the year that they're going to go is the year of going back. So. Yeah. Anyway, sorry about that. No worries. Next up. John, you are particularly invested in Liverpool, are you not, John? I mean, that's your team. Just a little. I lived in Liverpool, New York. That's where I grew up. Just outside of Syracuse. Nice. I should call it New Liverpool, but fine. Yeah. Liverpool AD.

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:35.480
We went to York one time in England. And you know how people from New York are always so snotty? Like, it's like New York's the greatest and everything. We're always telling like, fuck that, dude. We've been to York. Yeah. York is fucking cool, man. You know the people that say New York is better than everyone are the ones that weren't actually born in New York. Yeah, they moved there. And then lived here and then made money here. And they're like, yeah, that's true. No, it's really not. It's really not the best place.

00:41:36.660 --> 00:42:05.680
New York State is great because it's got everything there. But if you're talking about cities, Chicago is a much better city than New York City. Justin, that's interesting because you're born and raised there too, right? New York? Yeah. Okay, so I was born and raised in San Francisco. I bet you and I could sit down and have similar conversations about excluding Jay, of course. Well, he lives in the East Bay, so that's a whole other country. You can talk for days about excluding Jay. But I have the same exact feelings about how people are.

00:42:05.700 --> 00:42:35.620
people are like, oh my god, San Francisco is just so amazing. Where are you from? Oh, I'm from here. So you're actually really not from there, which is the majority of the people. Don't get me wrong, I still love the city, but yeah. I thought San Francisco was great. I just went into this part of Brooklyn I hadn't been in in years to go see Gate Creepers, Gate Creeper, and 200 Stab Wounds, and this other kind of alt scrunched thing called Narrowhead were actually pretty cool. A very weird build, but it was cool. I mean, the sound side.

00:42:35.720 --> 00:43:05.680
in general at the place because it was in a hipster place that doesn't make any sense for like actual concerts and it's crazy because i'm like this is this is what everyone's talking about the hipster thing i'm like the streets look shitty but every every door you open there's like some fancy shit going on inside like that's essentially what that's what dc's like like i'm like what the fuck's going on right now hipsters man they're fucking hipster doofuses they're ruining everything yeah they made me miss like the fucking first three songs of 200 stab wounds

00:43:05.720 --> 00:43:06.080
I was pissed.

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:13.700
200 Stab Moon sounds like an investigative discovery new series coming on soon.

00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:15.440
Discovery ID.

00:43:16.700 --> 00:43:17.900
I'll be there to watch it.

00:43:18.640 --> 00:43:19.680
Are any of you guys familiar?

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:21.540
Do you guys know this?

00:43:22.060 --> 00:43:22.180
Yeah.

00:43:22.340 --> 00:43:26.180
I started, I put them on a playlist because they're going to play at Psycho Vegas,

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:30.900
and I wanted to kind of get in touch with some of the bands that are going on there that I'm not familiar with.

00:43:31.040 --> 00:43:32.600
And so I've been digging what I've been hearing.

00:43:33.660 --> 00:43:33.840
Yeah.

00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.080
They fucking rip.

00:43:35.260 --> 00:44:04.760
I love them. Next time on 200 Stab Ones. I think you mean they stab. Mm-hmm. Yeah. 201 times. So next up on Saturday, we have Cancer. I never thought I was going to see this band. I'm stoked to see Cancer. I love Cancer, especially their second record, Death Shall Rise. The James Murphy era. Yeah, I love some Cancer. Last time I was at Vodka, I saw him.

00:44:05.240 --> 00:44:34.720
in the village of all places. Wow. It's good. Nice. All right. After cancer, I have to keep going up and down, up and down. We have, oh, coroner. Stage A and stage B, right, George? Yeah. Yeah. So this is like the whole reason I even considered going to this thing this year is to see coroner because I've never seen them and you don't get too many opportunities, at least in the States, to see coroner. When you're alive. It's been a long time since they've done my, I mean, they've been playing shows, but this is going to be cool.

00:44:34.800 --> 00:45:03.940
What time do they go on? 620. Alright, well if I watch that game, I got time to get back. I'll be eating a vegan dog and watching Coroner at that point. And then after Coroner, this is where things start to get strange to me because then after Coroner, you go from one band from Switzerland to another band from Switzerland. Yeah, Trypticon. Yeah. I'm really stoked to see that.

00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:34.680
15. Again, it's not even going to be dark. Just like the last time they played at MDF. Should have been a headliner. Could have been a headliner. Not a headliner. We still have two more bands. If we decide that, okay, we've had enough, we can go party. We saw Tripticon today. Yeah, this is true, but... In this day, they should be the headliner for sure. Yeah, I'm just going to say it's being of a different era of being introduced into Metal.

00:45:35.300 --> 00:46:04.520
that the fucking Sepuletora set, I am so fucking looking forward to. Like, unbelievably so. Yeah, are they doing an album? They're doing Beneath the Remainment Arise. Both? Yeah. They're only playing an hour, though. Or a mix of. Maybe. Yeah. I would think, but I'm so fucking down for that. Well, and you would think that... I saw you guys in that fucking,

00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:09.800
comment thread being like oh just leave i'm like standing there by myself watching

00:46:09.980 --> 00:46:14.840
suppletura is basically what's gonna happen no no no no i don't like suppletura and it sounded like that i was

00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:22.160
like i'm gonna fucking leave yeah it's like i'm gonna leave no this is terrible i'm out of here i i don't like

00:46:22.460 --> 00:46:30.620
suppletura now too loud but up through justin we're going but after chaos ad suppletura was the shit

00:46:33.000 --> 00:47:00.560
And the one time that I was at Vaken, they did the Cavalera Brothers or whatever. And that was pretty badass. So I expect this will be badass too. And you would even think that perhaps this would be a headliner. But no, it's not. And for some reason, I understand they're a big band and all, and maybe they haven't been around for a while either. But Dismember is closing out Saturday. Which means I got to see that because I've never seen them. It just probably has something to do with when,

00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:05.000
these bands have to leave or if any bands touring they gotta get out of town

00:47:05.620 --> 00:47:09.920
you know maybe with Tripticon they're doing the same thing they did when they came for

00:47:10.620 --> 00:47:22.280
they literally flew in did the show and then they were back out again that's right you know so it might it could be something like that yeah well they had they had done they had done the road burn the day before

00:47:24.260 --> 00:47:27.960
and had to fly straight from there was a day in between i thought

00:47:29.020 --> 00:47:57.080
Maybe. I thought it was the day before, but I thought it was on Saturday and they were here on Sunday. But in this, I was going to say, in this case, I feel like we're going to see Tom again. Yes, we are. Okay. Yes. But for some of these dudes. But personally, I think Trypticon should be higher than Dismember. I mean, Dismember is definitely up there, but I don't know. All right. So moving on to Sunday. It's realty. Until Markisan brought them up, I did not know this band, but Sacrilegia.

00:47:58.260 --> 00:48:27.940
is opening the day and I actually kind of like them. I feel like they just put out an album within the last month. Yeah, it sounds about I think so. I just know that Markisan gave it to us and I was like, okay, whatever. Fine. I'll listen to this intro is really fucking dumb. Oh my God. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I know I do, but I think I was like distracted and so I was just I just hit play and let it go. But I was

00:48:27.980 --> 00:48:56.900
It's like, all right, all right, I can dig this. Yeah, that's pretty good. So yeah, that's cool, because I didn't know that much about the band either, and now we got the promo, and so it'd be cool to see them live, too. Maybe it's a band we'll get into. Yeah. If we can get there by 1230. 1230 is pretty late. It's hard to get breakfast in Baltimore, man. But you're not going to be going to bed right after the show. I mean, we stayed up till, what, four, I think?

00:48:57.680 --> 00:48:58.380
those nights.

00:48:58.860 --> 00:49:00.060
We went out after.

00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:01.060
Right, right.

00:49:01.570 --> 00:49:02.140
You know, so.

00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:02.480
Okay.

00:49:03.260 --> 00:49:03.540
All right.

00:49:03.650 --> 00:49:07.300
But then after that is a band I don't know called Necrofly?

00:49:08.220 --> 00:49:08.580
Necrofire?

00:49:09.140 --> 00:49:09.620
I can't read it.

00:49:09.660 --> 00:49:10.940
It's either Necrofire.

00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:11.880
Yeah, I don't know them.

00:49:12.940 --> 00:49:13.680
I don't know them either.

00:49:14.620 --> 00:49:15.220
Yeah, me neither.

00:49:15.240 --> 00:49:15.520
Justin?

00:49:15.520 --> 00:49:21.140
I haven't gotten that deep into the roster of the days yet to like check out the ones I don't know.

00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:23.000
I'm not up to Sunday yet.

00:49:23.240 --> 00:49:26.380
They're probably death metal because when in doubt it's a death metal band.

00:49:26.540 --> 00:49:55.960
I'm starting to think that Sacrilegia is going to suffer because don't know Necrofire, don't know Divine Eve playing after them either. So suddenly I can wait until... I looked him up. That's always going to Lodic Black Metal. Okay. Well, at this point I can wait to show up until 2.30 when Nunslaughter is playing. I like those guys. Yeah, and was there an outbound last year? Yeah, they did have an outbound last year. Yeah, yeah, it was good.

00:49:56.020 --> 00:50:24.000
Maybe it was the year before? But yeah, it was recent. Yeah, it was recent, for sure. And then after that is Nocturnus AD. So probably ought to check that out. Right. Definitely. And then there's a little band called Blood Incantation. I'm assuming they're just going to get up there and like bang on the synth for like, you know, an hour. That would be fucking amazing. That would be so awesome.

00:50:26.060 --> 00:50:54.200
shit, just going crazy, mad, angry. I really like that album. I wasn't sure about the Time Wave album, but I love it now, John. I've been listening to it a ton. It won't make my list for metal, because it's not really metal. But holy shit, it's really good. I know it's completely different. Exactly. Yeah, it's very good. So I can predict that after Blood Incantation, I will be going to the parking lot, because after that is Demi Lich.

00:50:54.820 --> 00:51:24.780
And the last time they played MDF, I went to the parking lot. Everybody's really big on this band. I don't like them. The vocals are buried and just they're just fucking horrible. I'm sorry. I don't like them. Okay. So question, have you listened to the remaster that they put out? No. Okay. Is it better? I was also the same way. I wasn't really into the froggy vocals when I first heard it. But when you look at like when they came out with it and all that and like in context, you're like, oh, this is a pretty good thing.

00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:54.720
I never really latched on to it. But then I listened to it recently for another reason. And I listened to the remaster and it wasn't as annoying the vocals as they were the other times. And that's everything from that, right? On that remaster? Did they put it all together in one package? I think so, yeah. They had the one album and I think they had an E.

00:51:55.320 --> 00:52:24.600
also. It's got all the demos and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It's one that's like, it's like two hours long or something. It does sound a lot better. Definitely. I still struggle with the kind of verbal gurgle vocals a little bit. Not for everyone. Not for everyone. But I'll check it out. Years ago when I actually used to use Pandora, like when someone told me about Pandora and I started to use it, that band would always come up in the cycle. And I was like, all right. I mean, I like it. I don't love them. But, you know, like walking,

00:52:24.660 --> 00:52:54.260
As we're walking to the parking lot, I need to listen. And I turn my head and do one of these. That's what I did. I was sitting out at Will's truck drinking a beer and just kind of cocking in here going, yeah, I'm missing anything. But then I have to come back in because 5.30 is destruction. And I've never been a huge destruction fan, but I have never seen destruction either. So they are a classic band that I do need to add to my repertoire.

00:52:54.660 --> 00:53:24.640
of bands that I've seen. So I want to see them. Well, and there's, I mean, it's not much thrash, right? Yeah. And there's not much thrash on the lineups here. They're kind of goofy now. I'm going to see them too, George, because I've never seen them before. And actually, if you can, if you go back in time to like when Sentence of Death came up, was their first EP. And it was like weirder and darker. It was almost Celtic Frost adjacent. And then they had the Anticone

00:53:24.660 --> 00:53:54.540
Christ one or whatever it was. Another one. They had like three good records that I really liked back in the 80s. And then they started to lose the script a little bit. And now they're just a whole different thing. But I'm going to see them just because they'll do Matt Butcher and some other stuff. They almost dropped a record too, right? Like pretty recently? Yeah. And honestly, I haven't even listened to it because they're sort of like... I listened to it a little and I was like, it sounds like it's from the 80s, you know? Yeah. Yeah. A lot more polished, I'm sure, but... Yeah. Yeah. But stylistically speaking. No, that's stated. They did.

00:53:54.660 --> 00:54:24.560
the place in my adolescent life. So I'll be glad to see him. Right. Yeah, definitely. Then we have Immolation. I know we'll probably go out to the parking lot for that one. Nobody wants to see Immolation. Yeah, that'll be cool. I love them so much. And they were just at Decibel. Yeah, and they killed it. And it's funny too because recently they came around here and I was really looking forward to the show, but then I moved.

00:54:24.680 --> 00:54:54.480
And then it was like the next weekend and I wasn't, I'm like, I'm not recovered yet. I don't know if I can do a show and have to go into the city for it. And I'm like, but I am seeing, I just saw them and I'm seeing them in MDF. So I just ended up not going. Yeah. And they got the new album. So it's going to be cool to hear those songs. Yeah, definitely. Then after that, Matt, you get to see Tom again, triumph of death at seven 15 playing the hell hammer material. I've seen him do a few,

00:54:55.180 --> 00:55:24.180
as Triumph of Death, but it would be awesome to see the whole set. Indeed. And you will. And it's not the headline. Right. Tom G just can't get the headline spot. He's like, I am like number three with a bullet. You know, there's some European. He's Tom three. I think it's it might be Dynamo Fest. I'll have to look at it. And it came up on Tom's Facebook page recently. And they're doing a whole Tom.

00:55:24.660 --> 00:55:54.640
Aria Tribute. He's going to come out. They're going to do Celtic Frost, Trypticon, and Hellhammer. All three different sets. Wow. So that's pretty cool. So when Trypticon did the Roadburn recording, I'm guessing that they weren't the headliners there either. Well, it was a separate show. It was a separate thing. I'm joking. Joking. Joking. Making a joke. Gotcha. My bad. Yeah, I've got the final. So second to last, we have...

00:55:54.680 --> 00:56:23.740
I have hypocrisy. Another band I've never seen. A band I respect, but one of those bands that, again, I've just never really been like, woohoo. I saw half their set once, but the dude was like really, really, really drunk. I'm like, all right, I'm out. I'm like, I'm tired and you're not trying really hard, so I'm just going to leave. I do like some hypocrisy stuff for sure. Yeah, it's not bad.

00:56:23.800 --> 00:56:51.200
It just isn't... Wow. You know, there's no wow factor. It's... Sorry, what's the word? Functional and... Adequate. Adequate. Adequate, yeah. I'm just, you know, I'm interested to see how well a hip-hop band goes over there. That'll be fun. Sorry. I like their self-titled one. I had that. I used to jam that one a lot, their self-titled one.

00:56:57.040 --> 00:57:23.200
I can't think of the right word here. Presumably taking the spot vacated by Morbid Angel is Deicide doing the full Legion album. I'll take that over Morbid Angel. I mean, I like Morbid Angel still, but and I'll be I'll be interested to see how this goes because the last time I saw Deicide was at Jack's with like 10 people there. Really? And it was not good.

00:57:23.780 --> 00:57:53.760
I think they're putting on an honest show these days. I've seen, I think, I don't know if they're touring right now or if they just did some stuff, but inevitably stuff gets on YouTube. I think this one's going to go over pretty well because they plan that album in entirety. Last time I saw him, the brothers were still in the band. I've never seen him and I honestly love the concept of Glenn Benton. Yeah, but he was like this big fat blacky lawless dude just kind of bitching

00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.620
about stuff. And I was like, yeah, no.

00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:22.020
So I remember there was a video that leaked on YouTube of them doing a show and it was kind of like right when the, the, well, whatever pocket of the pandemic was slowly starting to end down in Florida, they did a show in a club, which was kind of a big deal back then. And him just being like, I'm just tired of every TikTok video on staying at home. I can't do this anymore. And then they went into like death. And I was like, all right, this is kind of cool. I can deal with that.

00:58:23.300 --> 00:58:52.700
Yeah, he's entertaining on stage for sure. He's got good banter. I remember that. Well, it would be hard for him not to top the set that I saw. If it was worse than that, I think he would be having some issues. And maybe he was just like, man, there's only 10 people here. I don't give a shit. I don't know. All right. Well, that is the lineup for Edison Lott at MD.

00:58:52.840 --> 00:59:22.500
BF. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. I hope we survive. We'll probably talk about it some after. Here's my question. Is there anything crazy good we're missing that's at Ram's Head or Soundstage? Yeah. There actually are a couple bands that I wouldn't mind seeing. Acid Witch is going to be at Ram's Head, so the dude from Temple of Wood is going to be there. Let's see. Mortiferum's playing at Soundstage. Skeletal Remains.

00:59:22.820 --> 00:59:51.740
That's cool too. Yeah. Panzer Faust is playing Ram's Head. What is that? How do you pronounce that? Ackless? A-K-H-L-Y-S. I know they're cool. I can't remember how to pronounce it. All right. Runes of Beverest is also playing Ram's Head, which I saw them last time at Ram's Head. That's kind of wild. They seem like they're a bigger band than that. Yeah. Holy shit.

00:59:54.480 --> 01:00:19.300
I would love to see those guys. They fucking rock. I think they're German too. They're just like German drunken grindcore shit. It's awesome. So is Antichrist death whatever the ACTC. What is that Antichrist deathcore or some shit? Oh. Death something. I don't know. I forget but they're grindcore as well. And Violence is playing at Power Planet. Oh right. Right, right, right.

01:00:22.820 --> 01:00:23.200
Ram's Head.

01:00:26.540 --> 01:00:27.560
Who else?

01:00:28.720 --> 01:00:29.260
Malignant Alter.

01:00:31.240 --> 01:00:32.400
Bile. That's wild.

01:00:33.970 --> 01:00:37.040
You know, Iwana was just supposed to be here.

01:00:38.680 --> 01:00:40.340
Last Friday was Iwana.

01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:42.420
Amorphous and whoever else was on that tour.

01:00:42.510 --> 01:00:45.960
And for whatever reason, the Berkeley date got canceled that day.

01:00:47.300 --> 01:00:47.740
Mark is on.

01:00:47.750 --> 01:00:48.720
Did you say you like bile?

01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:51.000
Only yours.

01:00:52.240 --> 01:01:20.800
No, Malignant Altar, I like that band. That was a great record last year. Devil Master, not going to miss them. We saw them at Decibel. I like Devil Master. Well, I like the new record a lot more than the past stuff, actually. I like the vocals better on the new one. It's funny because the first album, the music was better and the vocals sucked. Now the music kind of sucks and the vocals are better. I don't know. Pro Fanatica, that would have been kind of cool.

01:01:22.300 --> 01:01:52.220
those would have been cool you know yeah uh horse nations playing at soundstage their grand core band i'd like to see them i think you forgot that that's dork fortress but that's cool also and i also like now we're going through the list of bands we will not see yes anti-christian sea gen gen salt in the wound well it is cool because really what we're seeing is is what we would choose to see anyways yeah there's a couple bands but there's a lot of grind here bird flesh is playing and cephalic carnage are playing that

01:01:52.240 --> 01:02:11.220
Oh, there has to be a lot. Because the sets are going to be five minutes long. Well, 35 minutes. So they're going to do like their entire discography. Yeah. All right. So that's our MDF thing. Here's the news.

01:02:23.819 --> 01:02:52.040
Judas Priest sort of got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm calling bullshit on that. It is bullshit. Because they didn't get voted in. They got handed a, what do you call that? A consolation prize. They didn't even, what they got put in for, they're not actually, they're not valid for. Because that's supposed to be for musicians that play,

01:02:52.240 --> 01:03:22.100
with other artists. Yeah, they changed it. Well, it's only been done twice for two artists. I think LL Cool J actually got this too. The E Street Band got it last time for playing with the Springsteen. But that's what it's supposed to be, though. It's supposed to be for artists that aren't actually the, or musicians who aren't actually the main act. They play with a lot of different artists. Right, but then they repurposed it into whatever they called it now. I don't even remember now, but they repurposed it so that they could,

01:03:22.260 --> 01:03:51.560
Judas Priest in so people would stop pitching. But they've already done this, though, with LL Cool J, because he should have never gone in on that, too, because that's basically saying, well, he's his own artist. He's not playing for somebody else. Right. The ladies love Cool J. Hey, LL Cool J is cool. I probably call that cool. The ladies love cool James. Yes. Yeah, cool James. Thank you. It's stupid because they're the whole thing. They seem pleased. I'll tell you this. I mean, I don't disagree with you at all times.

01:03:51.600 --> 01:04:21.400
It's dark and do shit. And one has to also remember we don't give a fuck about this institution in any case, but that still being the case, it is bullshit. And it's all over Boneyard, you know, every five minutes. Hey, Judas Priest, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm like, I mean, they're not, though. Tell it like it is. The implication is that they're going to perform because Rob was like, yeah, we perform with KK, but I don't even know if they get to perform. But I don't even know if these people, do these musicians perform? Because most of them are supposed to be just musicians who play with other artists.

01:04:22.020 --> 01:04:51.360
Yeah, the backup band. But I mean, also, I don't think this category allows them a set. No, it doesn't. That's the whole thing. Otherwise, last year, it would have been East Street Band up there playing Born to Run with nobody singing. But it was. It was Randy Rose last year that got it, I thought. Let's say, so two things could happen, though. One is KK could come out and pull a John Paul Jones and be a dick. Or perhaps they'll mend some fences there.

01:04:51.600 --> 01:05:21.580
And then he'll be back. Do you guys remember the John Paul Jones thing? I know you did, John. What? I mean, there's... Sounds familiar. Well, okay, so they gave their speeches and everything, and then John Paul Jones, and this was after they did something. Robert... Oh, it was after... I don't remember what they fucking did. Robert Planchier and Page did something. Anyway, and John Paul Jones, they all gave their speeches, and then John Paul Jones came up, and he was like, yeah, you know, hey, if you guys need my phone number, I can give it to you. Oh, that was... Oh, yeah, and he's like, fuck you, you know what I mean? He really kind of...

01:05:22.860 --> 01:05:51.520
I would be happy to never talk about the Hall of Fame again because I just think it's all bullshit. However, Rob Halford did an interview and he is pretty pleased. He's pretty happy with being inducted. Well, not inducted. I shouldn't say that, but backdoored the Hall of Fame. So the problem I have with it, though, is now this is their way of appeasing fans. They're just going to put metal bands in this category because they don't respect metal bands in the Hall. They never have. They do the same thing with Prague. That's why when Rush got in, I was shocked.

01:05:52.240 --> 01:06:19.500
because they did everything in their power to keep them out for years. Mainly Jan Verner, because that guy's a fucking dick. I try not to say this stuff about people on here, but he's a fucking prick, that guy. He's a fucking prick, that guy. He is. Just go back and watch Rush's induction and just see how the fans just drowned him out when he tries talking. It's absolutely amazing. It's funny because Dolly Parton got in when she specifically asked not to.

01:06:21.600 --> 01:06:23.820
she changed her tune and said she was happy to get in.

01:06:24.040 --> 01:06:25.940
She would gracefully accept.

01:06:26.660 --> 01:06:33.740
But her getting in actually caused Priest, well, actually, even if Priest had finished in the top five, that doesn't mean they would have gotten in.

01:06:34.220 --> 01:06:36.360
Because the Hall reserves the right to choose who they want.

01:06:36.580 --> 01:06:42.880
But they took Dolly Parton because they're on this big crusade to put in as many women as possible because they've ignored them for so long.

01:06:43.300 --> 01:06:46.040
A.K.A. Joan, or not Joan Jett, Pat Benatar.

01:06:46.720 --> 01:06:47.500
Is Joan Jett in there?

01:06:48.700 --> 01:06:49.500
I don't know if she's in.

01:06:49.920 --> 01:07:19.760
If she's in, she'd be in with the Runaways. I got it. Well, she should be in there too. But they kept Pat Benatar out for how long? Yeah, that's ridiculous. Yeah, so that's why I think they chose Dolly Parton because she's hot right now. She's got a book out. She just wrote with James Patterson. There's an album out with it and stuff, so I don't know. Gay boys love award shows, so that's probably why Rob's happy about it. Yeah, okay. I can see that. I can confirm that. Sure, sure. No, I can totally see that.

01:07:20.700 --> 01:07:49.460
Yeah, he was talking about, oh, am I the first gay metal guy ever to be in the Hall of Fame? Which is definitely true. There's like three metal bands in there. Yeah, that's it. So yeah, yes, Rob, you are. But Marcus, I agree 100% with you. That's why I made one of the round tables to be, all right, screw them. Let's talk about who really should be in at this point. Yeah, let's segue into that. Okay. Unfortunately, I don't know who's in there because I don't really pay attention. But I mean, is Maiden in?

01:07:49.520 --> 01:08:19.319
They are, aren't they? No. They're not? Well, that's just fucking ridiculous. So I know Sabbath is in. Deep Purple finally got in. Scorpions aren't in. Scorpions should be in there. And Zeppelin's in there. And I know you can see what she wanted. Deep Purple did, finally, yeah. Yes. Which I know we're talking kind of proto-metal there, but the only real metal bands I could think of are Metallica and Sabbath. And who was in another one? Well, Randy Rhodes has gotten in, but he got in through this kind of, you know, lifetime achievement award.

01:08:19.580 --> 01:08:49.500
type thing. But I think that's it, actually. And then everything else after that. What about ACDC? Are they in there? They're in there. Again, proto-metal, hard rock, you know. But still, yeah, I mean, they're in there, which is cool. Thin Lizzy? No. That's ridiculous. What about... Ozzy's not in there as a solo artist. They probably figure out he's in there, whatever. Oh, yeah, but for every

01:08:49.520 --> 01:09:19.500
like hippie band from the 60s they're all in there with their bands and they're all in their soul artists too yeah you know dio should be in there then he's not in no yeah maybe i could do with the collaboration with leader ford maybe yeah what about motorhead no no no it's definitely not just real quick did you see who's being selected from priest to go in not everyone in the band's going in but he's not being inductive right

01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:49.500
What, what, it was around four years? And Richie's been in the band 11 years, but they chose Les Banks. And Dave Holland. Yeah, you know, which I'm surprised they would actually put in Dave Holland considering how his career ended. Well, no, his career ended because he fucking left, but his life ended after he touched a little boy. But I mean, if that's true, I mean, of course, I know. I mean, he got convicted of it, so there you go. But KK's a big, he really tried to kind of

01:09:49.660 --> 01:10:19.440
So you tried to tamp that down, but I'm just looking. There's so many bands that should be in there. Like death should be in there. That would never happen in a million years. I know, I know. That was the point of bringing up this subject. Who are the bands at, at least at this point, you would put in? So here are some who are in, by the way. It's a given. Here's heavy metal and heavy metal adjacent. Kiss is in there. You may remember now. How long did that take?

01:10:19.540 --> 01:10:20.640
them to get in. That's true.

01:10:21.020 --> 01:10:23.680
Errol Smith, ACDC, Van Halen, Alice Cooper's in there.

01:10:23.860 --> 01:10:24.860
Guns N' Roses is in there.

01:10:25.200 --> 01:10:25.800
That's just...

01:10:26.300 --> 01:10:26.840
That's fucking weird.

01:10:26.940 --> 01:10:27.600
Off of one album.

01:10:28.160 --> 01:10:32.600
So this is the biggest, like, hard rock bands outside of Metallica and Sabbath.

01:10:33.320 --> 01:10:34.960
I think Guns N' Roses...

01:10:34.960 --> 01:10:35.140
Is Nirvana in there?

01:10:35.660 --> 01:10:36.600
Size and popularity.

01:10:36.750 --> 01:10:37.500
Oh, Nirvana's in there.

01:10:37.500 --> 01:10:38.580
Throw Pantera in there.

01:10:39.300 --> 01:10:39.920
Nirvana's in there.

01:10:40.660 --> 01:10:44.300
Yeah, I mean, I think Guns N' Roses went in on their first time, didn't they?

01:10:44.500 --> 01:10:45.080
First year eligible.

01:10:45.100 --> 01:10:46.000
I'm sure they did, yeah.

01:10:46.360 --> 01:10:49.460
I think Maiden is probably the biggest omission to my money.

01:10:49.520 --> 01:11:19.460
Well, because we're thinking about what bands have been around a long time and have created a legacy. Those are the bands that should already be in there. There's a lot of bands that are newer that are deserving. But what about these bands that have been around all this time that have like changed music? Like, why are they not in there? That's the big problem. But, you know, I'll back you up on Scorpions too. I think Scorpions should be in there. Oh, for sure. So, you know, we've been talking, John and I, at least, for a long time about a Metal Heads podcast, Hall of Fame. Maybe this is a good time for us to just fucking do it.

01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:49.020
The problem is that we haven't been able to decide on how to put people in. Like, do we have to all vote and, you know, unanimously put a band in? Or could each person put a band in? Which would then fill up very quickly? Well, honestly, if we do do it, I think we should start with like 10 or 15 bands in there, obviously. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's no reason. Like, it should be made pre-spawn. I think we can knock off the legacy.

01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:50.360
Bands immediately.

01:11:50.480 --> 01:11:53.040
And I don't think we have one disagreement from any of us.

01:11:53.040 --> 01:11:53.560
Just put them in there.

01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:54.020
Yeah.

01:11:54.340 --> 01:11:57.120
And then we iron out the wrinkles from there.

01:11:57.380 --> 01:11:57.480
Yeah.

01:11:58.860 --> 01:11:59.160
All right.

01:11:59.380 --> 01:12:01.700
Out of a pool of bands or something.

01:12:02.340 --> 01:12:02.440
Yeah.

01:12:02.980 --> 01:12:03.100
Yeah.

01:12:03.500 --> 01:12:04.600
I mean, and then we could argue.

01:12:04.620 --> 01:12:05.880
There's obvious choices.

01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:07.820
That's the problem with the rock and roll.

01:12:08.500 --> 01:12:13.480
Well, you know, what we could do is each episode, we could make this an episode segment.

01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:44.260
Each episode, each of us brings a ban to the table. And then we vote. And majority ban. I mean, obviously, not everybody. If everybody votes for their own ban, then it wouldn't work. But, you know. Well, you have an automatic vote if you bring the ban up. Well, also, but then we should be allowed to make our case. So. Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, hopefully. It's like, oh, if I,

01:12:44.400 --> 01:13:14.380
brought up a band, but then you brought up a better band. I'd be like, oh yeah, you right. I like my band, but yeah, yeah, definitely. Iron Maiden should be in there. Bon Jovi is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm going to find something I'm going to depress him. Cheap Trick's in there. That's cool. Took them a long time to get in, though. That's right. I do remember that performance, too. Go ahead, George. I'm just going to call some of these. Sure, sure. I don't know. But anyway, see, this is why we haven't done it yet, because it's...

01:13:14.420 --> 01:13:15.460
debut it next year.

01:13:15.820 --> 01:13:17.340
Jeff Leppard is in the Hall of Fame.

01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:18.360
They should be.

01:13:19.180 --> 01:13:19.520
They should.

01:13:19.940 --> 01:13:20.660
They just got in.

01:13:21.400 --> 01:13:22.980
Was it last time?

01:13:23.500 --> 01:13:26.000
I think it was either the last time or the one before that.

01:13:26.220 --> 01:13:27.840
So they're a newer band to get in.

01:13:28.340 --> 01:13:28.520
Okay.

01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:29.100
Yeah.

01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:31.000
All right.

01:13:31.220 --> 01:13:32.940
Well, I guess we'll move on then.

01:13:33.580 --> 01:13:35.380
You're listening to the Metal Heads podcast.

01:13:36.060 --> 01:13:38.460
And if you don't listen, then the hell with you.

01:13:38.900 --> 01:13:42.040
I watch a lot of Food Network TV and like Daniel's Drive-Ins and Dives.

01:13:42.500 --> 01:14:12.020
And I saw a link on Facebook today for the best diners, drive-ins, and dives places in each state. And the one from Maryland is in Baltimore, and it's a breakfast diner. And I'm like, oh, we should go do this. But it's like on the other side of Fell's Point. Is that the one on Eastern, George? No, it's like... I know the place you're talking about. It's like Blue something. Yeah, I think that's... I know that one, yeah. We'll just lift over. I mean, we could.

01:14:12.100 --> 01:14:42.080
If we're up and... Hey, there's actually another place. Is that Elderpine? Yeah. Hey, it's here. We should do beer checks again. Is that Tavor? Sure. Another Tavor, yeah. Yes. And we can get Elderpine here. I almost bought some last night. Sorry, John, what was that other place? So this is interesting, but this is a hike. It's out to Pulaski Highway, exit 61 off of 95. But if you are looking for...

01:14:44.340 --> 01:15:11.920
traditional Baltimore. What is it? Pit beef, I think it's called. Oh, yeah. There's a place in a parking lot of a strip club. And it's like the best pit beef in the city. Is it like a truck? No, no. It's an actual place. I know there's a pit beef place in Baltimore. It's supposed to be really good. It was on Diners and Divers and Dives. Yeah. So the one they went, they went to this one on Pulaski Highway. Over here on Pulaski Highway. He says, and I look over,

01:15:11.980 --> 01:15:41.880
I say, you know what they're not showing you is that building behind that. If they just pan the camera over about five feet, it's going to say Gentleman's Gold Club right there. I know exactly where that place is. And it's always packed, that place for the pit beef. Yeah. It's not called show-and-to. Hey, what the hell is pit beef? You know what pit beef is? Yeah, it's the way. You claim to like meat? Yeah. Pit beef? What? No. It's just the way. It's the name for the way they cook the beef.

01:15:41.960 --> 01:16:11.900
They actually put it in a pit? Well, no, because it's in a parking lot, so they'd have to dig a hole, and then the city would be out there, and it would take them like eight months to actually create the hole and fill it. No. It's just, if you look it up online, you can see what it is. Google it. We ain't got time for your shit. We don't know how to explain it. Look it up, boy. It just is. As George knows, it's Baltimore, and there are things in Baltimore, Maryland that they're famous for that live.

01:16:13.420 --> 01:16:41.860
I didn't realize that that wasn't the thing. I mean, I'd never heard of it before I came here, but there's a lot of things I'd never heard of before I came here, so I didn't know that it was a regional thing. But the things in Chicago that are famous that are known for there, you can get a significant number of them, not all of them, but you can get them in other cities. Like murder. Yeah. Like Jardinera is hard to get. Oh, yeah. Jen orders that all the time. Breaded steak sandwich. I don't see that anywhere. I want one of those.

01:16:43.180 --> 01:17:11.340
What do they call them? Italian beef. The New Jersey something rolls. What do you call it? Pork rolls. Pork rolls. I want one of those pork rolls. Kevin Smith is always talking about them. Maryland's like the only place you can go where in every restaurant there's like a little thing of Old Bay sitting there. You know? Because Old Bay is like all your spices we don't care about. We have Old Bay. I tried it when I was outside. I didn't particularly care for it.

01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:41.340
It reminded me of something I heard somebody once say about England, that the history of the English Empire was they conquered all these different nations to steal their spices just to find out they didn't like any of them. They get salt and pepper in England, that's it, except for the Indian places. They like salt and the original things. Let's keep it basic. Not New York, York.

01:17:41.360 --> 01:18:11.060
Not old bae bae bae. You're right. You can get kick-ass Indian food in England for sure. Yeah. Long Island's all about bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll. That's like everyone's deal. Sounds good to me. Salt, pepper, ketchup, like that type of thing. It's like a whole stupid language that locals. Yeah. Interesting. And bagels. I do love bagels. Wait, is lox big there too? I would think.

01:18:11.980 --> 01:18:40.580
Yeah. Lots of noodles for sure. Justin, I have to, I have to tell you, I use this. I've told my wife this multiple times when we were at the hotel the last night of decibel. Okay. And I was eating my pizza with a steak or with a fork and a knife, just because I was on like this, for some reason I got into this like COVID state of mind, like don't use my hands to touch anything. And you're like, dude, you eat your pizza like a serial killer. That came on. Did I say that? Yeah. You said that. And I was like, I was pretty list.

01:18:40.680 --> 01:19:10.020
This guy from Long Island, this dude from Long Island told me, I eat my steak like a serial killer. I mean, Matt kind of looks like a serial killer now. He's like in all this weird orange light. My shades are shot. So it's like total trippy scene from a movie. Matt, portrait of a serial killer. It all comes from the fact that there's too many fucking people that live in New York and most people have to eat pizza standing on a sidewalk. So you learn how to eat it with just one hand.

01:19:10.120 --> 01:19:39.880
No matter what. Totally. All right. It was suggested that before we move on to the next news item, we do a quick beer update. Markisan. Wasn't Justin first? I'm assuming he's still nursing and old fashioned. I did smoke some weed when I actually peed. Yeah, that was really why you wanted to go. I had a hard time seeing you. I learned how to hold up Farrah Foster's poster with one hand.

01:19:42.120 --> 01:20:07.220
On the street. On the street. Wherever. That's, that's, you don't know this, but that's actually the origin of Pantera's Five Minutes Alone. Sam. Just give me! And also Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself, which I did once actually here was. Yeah. Supposed to be about masturbation. Oh no, now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot, Jay. Hold on, I'll come up with another one.

01:20:10.120 --> 01:20:39.520
Well, I'm drinking a beer called Asleep on the Forest Floor, a hazy double IPA from Elder Pine Brewing and Blending Company. They're local to here, right, John? Yeah, they're not more than probably 10, 15 minutes from you, George, once you're on 270. Thought so. Yeah, they're from Maryland. It says, yeah, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Gaithersburg, Maryland. Gaithersburg. Yep.

01:20:40.120 --> 01:21:09.260
It's pretty good. It's got a piney taste to it, which is weird because it's called Elder Pine. Well, it's funny because... Why would a hazy IPA have a piney taste? It's kind of strange because piney is that West Coast style. I know. It's got a smoky pine to it. One of the things I loved about IPAs back in the day when they made IPAs was stuff like Arrogant Bastard and Stone's Ruination.

01:21:09.320 --> 01:21:37.920
that it was like a pine cone in a bottle. And I can't remember the last time I've had a beer that tasted like a pine cone. I had a pine cone in a bottle in Poland one time. The most piney beer I've ever had. I couldn't finish it. It was so fucking pine. It was like, it was like. So you're in a taxi cab then Jay basically with that beer? It was like drinking pine tar. I mean, it was just brutal. I didn't finish it. I just like, I got up and left the bar and went to a different bar and had a different beer. Yeah. Anybody else have something new?

01:21:39.320 --> 01:22:09.060
Well, I took the can downstairs, but I'm still working on that big bear because it's a crowler. There's a lot of bear. Matt. I've got Classic Rock, the Oat Cream IPA from Adroit. I like it. I like it quite a bit. I like it. You can't even see through those things. I know. Fuck. It's fucking hazy IPAs, man. Yeah. Speaking of, I've got True Respite's fourth anniversary hazy double IPA. Damn it. This is what hipsters do when they get involved.

01:22:09.820 --> 01:22:37.960
They got their long fucking beards. Not like you, Marcus. You have a cool long beard. But they got their long little beards and their little flannel shirts. Oof. Their fucking skinny jeans. I just trimmed my beard. It was getting crazy. Fuck. Crazy. It's still long, but it, you know, it was really. It's like when frog nerds get into metal, man. They ruin everything. Fuck. I met with one of my clients recently and they're like, wow, your beard's getting wild. And I'm like, all right, I should probably do something about this. Yeah.

01:22:39.820 --> 01:22:42.940
I'm not good because I just want to keep growing it and growing it but

01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:48.880
at a certain point it gets too much. It's too unruly. I'm trying to time my haircut for MDF

01:22:50.160 --> 01:22:54.960
and that's not even a joke because you can't see that I actually have any hair right now but

01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:58.820
there is some there and it's going to be too

01:22:59.480 --> 01:23:03.100
wild. Since I, you know, back when I

01:23:03.300 --> 01:23:06.960
had hair, even though it was receding, it had a pattern to it, right?

01:23:07.000 --> 01:23:36.960
You know, your hair does what it does. But ever since I started shaving it and then just growing it in and like having like an eighth inch of hair, when it starts to grow long, it just goes. And like every day, it has no pattern whatsoever. Yeah. It's like, I could not grow my hair out again because it would just be fucking ridiculous. It'd be Einstein. Well, it had red in it at the back of the day. Because Marcus mentioned Christy the Clown. Yeah. No, well. He's got like a top.

01:23:37.000 --> 01:24:04.340
And then he's got like hair that goes like here, right? Yeah. It just, they cross over each other. They go every which way. I'm like, this could never work. So I have to keep it really short. Yeah. And look, don't forget about Sideshow Bob. Yeah. Exactly. You should get a head tattoo, George. Like something like a Halford kind of, kind of thing going on. Yeah. Like a snake. Yeah. Big dong coming down your forehead. Yeah. That'd be great at work.

01:24:10.160 --> 01:24:35.980
All right, so our second news item. Rick Parnell, who played Spinal Taps drummer Mick Shrimpton, has actually died. No word on whether he exploded. What number was he in the band? Do you remember? I don't recall. Did they give a number? I feel like he was like the latest one because he was with them. Yeah, he was.

01:24:37.020 --> 01:24:39.900
I thought that he blew up at the end of the movie though he does

01:24:39.970 --> 01:24:48.220
through the credits okay weird who's this guy right anyway you know it's too bad it's ironic but in all seriousness

01:24:48.400 --> 01:24:53.660
condolences to his friends and family you know it's never cool to lose somebody but it is a little

01:24:55.480 --> 01:25:06.980
not ironic but just interesting because of the spinal tap drummer situation did he was he did he actually play does anyone know when they toured because they did a couple

01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:36.920
Tours together. You did, yeah. Okay. On the tours? Trums, yeah. Nice. Yeah. So I thought actually everyone in the movie could play. I mean, I know the other three guys obviously could play. I know that. But I thought that the keyboardists and the drummer also could play. All right. All right. So next up, I hate to say it, but Ozzy tested positive for COVID. Or should I?

01:25:37.000 --> 01:26:06.100
I say COVID tested positive for Ozzy. That poor virus never had a chance in his system. You know, the stuff he's got in there probably just knocked that shit right out. I don't know. He's still dealing with it though, isn't he? Sharon has it as well. Yeah, I heard that he had it and that he was being treated, but it didn't sound like it was a particularly big deal. I should have said this at the beginning of COVID, and I don't mean that he's in a dire straits with this disease.

01:26:06.980 --> 01:26:36.960
He's not going to perform. There'll be no more Ozzy shows. I just don't buy it. He's such a fucking wreck. But he's got a new album coming out again. Yeah, well, good luck playing shows for it. He's got Parkinson's? What does he have? Yeah. Yeah, and they just applied. This was a story on one of the metal sites, and he applied to the National Health Agency for them to come in and literally make one of his wings of his house handicap accessible. They're going to come in. Oh, jeez. Yeah, like railings and all this shit. But Ozzy's not going to perform.

01:26:36.980 --> 01:27:06.740
He's not going to be playing live anymore. There's no way he starts going uphill from where he's at right now. He's been having trouble walking for how many years now? Just that alone. He's not going to be able to leapfrog. Didn't even stand up in his last video. I have a feeling Ozzy's in pretty dire straits. I don't know. It's kind of strange to see that because, George, I know you just saw Genesis and it's weird to think Phil Collins has to sit in a chair the whole show. What's his melody? I've never heard what that was.

01:27:07.180 --> 01:27:08.560
that he's in that kind of shape.

01:27:08.840 --> 01:27:09.780
That was a back thing.

01:27:10.380 --> 01:27:11.160
Yeah, that's what I thought.

01:27:11.380 --> 01:27:12.380
But he's really bad.

01:27:12.440 --> 01:27:15.000
I mean, he literally cannot stand at all on stage.

01:27:15.540 --> 01:27:16.920
I mean, he walked out on his own.

01:27:17.420 --> 01:27:19.720
Granted, he had like a helper with him, I think.

01:27:19.880 --> 01:27:21.520
But he walked out and then he sat down.

01:27:22.700 --> 01:27:24.240
He degraded so fast.

01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:26.060
Some of these guys are, man.

01:27:26.340 --> 01:27:26.880
You know, I mean.

01:27:27.100 --> 01:27:29.260
Well, he really beat himself up, you know.

01:27:30.100 --> 01:27:31.380
How old is Ozzy, though?

01:27:32.400 --> 01:27:33.040
70 something?

01:27:33.620 --> 01:27:33.840
70.

01:27:34.360 --> 01:27:34.440
72.

01:27:34.780 --> 01:27:35.440
73 or 74.

01:27:35.980 --> 01:27:36.420
I'll look it up.

01:27:36.620 --> 01:28:06.480
I think he was Lemmy's eight. Well, then he'd be older. But this just goes to show you what happens when you actually decide somewhere in your life you're going to take care of yourself and not party as hard anymore. Look at Mick Jagger. Yeah. Dude still is flying around on stage. He's what, late 70s? Yeah. And Ozzy's 73. Here's a weird thing I saw the other day, by the way, speaking of people taking care or not taking care of themselves. Keith Richards quit smoking. How do you like that? Oh, wow.

01:28:07.040 --> 01:28:35.420
Why bother at this point? Yeah, but Jay, did he quit smoking or did smoking quit? Yeah. We can't do this guy anymore. Maybe he wanted to take up heroin again and he figured he had to drop something. Something, yes. Doctor told him it wasn't good enough. I never know how it's going to go. Obviously, Ozzy's put a lot of stuff into his body over the years. He's put everything in his body. Yeah, including bats. Yes. But yeah, like the guys in Iron Maiden, look at them. They fly around all the time.

01:28:37.300 --> 01:29:05.860
Niko's starting to slow down. He gets it the way he plays. I know they go with a masseuse too, John. Yeah. They sound slower on stage now. He just, he's been beating himself up for so many years. Drummers at some point finally just, they're like, that's it. I'm tapped out. I gotta go. I can't do it anymore. They're the first to go, John. They beat themselves up the most on stage. Yeah. Especially in a metal band. You know, it's funny what, I was, I had meant to make this comment to you guys back when, um,

01:29:06.640 --> 01:29:35.300
came out too. And listening to that record, it was kind of like, oh, there's a new Maiden record. But one of the things that stuck out to me, and this is not a surprise to anybody, was Nico McBride sounds like nobody else, dude. He is such a unique player. And if you put him underneath any number of other metal bands, you would know immediately. You could say, guess who's playing drums here, and you would know. He has a very distinct style. He hasn't changed it much, but he's very good at what he does. Yeah. Yeah.

01:29:37.000 --> 01:30:06.540
All right. All right. We've got a couple more news items. Wake has announced a new album, Thought Form Descent, releasing July 22nd. These guys are just cranking them out, I feel like. I mean, I don't think they had one last year, but definitely the year before, I'm pretty sure. They had two in 2020 because they put out an EP after their album. It's my most anticipated album of the year. I'm curious. I mean, are they going to go in the more, because they were more grindy, and then the last time they were a little more down.

01:30:06.620 --> 01:30:36.140
I have not listened to it. What is it? It's killer. Well, it's got all those things, but it's got more of a melodic texture to it. The riff on it is amazing. It's like, it's my favorite song of the year. Wow. All right. I'll have to check that out. It's definitely solid. Yeah, check out the new one. I mean, I'll be, I mean, Wake was my number one album in 2020. So of course I'm going to be really eager to listen to the new one. But yeah, that song, the first song they put out is really good. It's like, they keep,

01:30:36.320 --> 01:30:42.160
progressing and adding more layers and a little bit more melodicism because um the ep was

01:30:42.780 --> 01:30:47.760
completely different than anything they had done that was more you know going you know more

01:30:47.900 --> 01:30:53.320
towards the melodic end i would say um so i think they're incorporating parts of that but

01:30:53.780 --> 01:30:59.620
still have this pummeling attack that's full death and grind so i hope there's some grinding

01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:03.960
because that's what i liked about them was their grind stuff yeah they always have a little bit

01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:33.600
Yeah, no, I got the message a couple days before it came out, you know, via band camp, and I immediately became a small child on Christmas. Like, new single coming out, new album coming. Yeah, so far, no letdowns. Excellent. I'll check that out tomorrow then. Geezer Butler has an autobiography expected in early 2023. We've heard Ozzy's take, we've heard Tony's take. Time to hear Geezer's take. Should be interesting.

01:31:35.720 --> 01:32:03.680
What a geezer. Well, we'll probably all read it. Oh, yeah. Definitely. I think I sent it to you. There's a... It's been a long time, but there's a really good funny meme of the cover of Weezer's first album, but it's just him in that blue color. It says, geezer. It's like, really, fuck, it really works. Somehow, I'll see if I can find it. Did you say Weezer or geezer? Yeah. Weezer. It's their first album. So we took their first album and put geezer on the cover of it, and it says Weezer. Or it says geezer.

01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:33.700
And he's just standing there and it's like really funny. Gotcha. All right. I added one little news item of my own. It's not even music related. It's just fucking badass. Did you guys know that next Friday there's an Evil Dead The Game coming out? Oh, that's awesome. I saw an ad for it and I watched a little video of Bruce Campbell and his son Adam Campbell or Adam whatever his last name might be. They were doing like a run through of the game with like a bunch of people and Bruce

01:32:33.720 --> 01:33:03.500
was like, they were doing like a team thing and Bruce was like, yeah, the best thing to do is to spread out. Do not stay together. In a horror movie, you don't want to stay together. And, you know, just being Bruce and being funny as shit. And it looks like a cool game. And I'm actually playing a lot of games right now. So I think I might have to get that. Yeah, I have to check that. I was playing the Friday the 13th one when that was online. That was a lot of fun.

01:33:03.720 --> 01:33:09.240
I played that a little stuff and they stopped like updating it and it kind of became lame so

01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:14.340
it'd be cool to play another like horror based game yeah and you get you you can play different

01:33:14.560 --> 01:33:21.240
people you can play like regular ash you can play what did they call it like uh I think it was like you know

01:33:21.580 --> 01:33:30.321
second third movie ash or something and they you can play um just different characters whatever yeah I

01:33:30.320 --> 01:33:59.360
I mean, you can play like the Viking dude from Army of Darkness, I think it was. Yeah, and you can be good or bad. You can be bad at, you can play badass, and you can go after the player characters, or you can be good ash and go after the monsters. Yeah, that's kind of the basis of Friday the 13th. Yes, yes. You could be Jason, or you could be a camper. Yep. That's cool. I played that with friends, and it was pretty fun.

01:34:00.340 --> 01:34:01.420
One Dimensional, but it was fun.

01:34:02.120 --> 01:34:02.200
Yeah.

01:34:02.360 --> 01:34:04.300
Do you guys watch the time and place for sure?

01:34:04.720 --> 01:34:05.480
Ash versus Evil Dead?

01:34:06.600 --> 01:34:07.160
Yeah, the show.

01:34:07.180 --> 01:34:07.460
Fuck yeah.

01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:08.860
It was so good.

01:34:09.080 --> 01:34:10.260
I love that show.

01:34:10.700 --> 01:34:12.660
That was one hell of an ending.

01:34:13.400 --> 01:34:14.800
No spoiler alerts, but wow.

01:34:14.980 --> 01:34:15.660
So good.

01:34:17.380 --> 01:34:17.460
Yeah.

01:34:17.540 --> 01:34:20.440
I never finished it.

01:34:20.540 --> 01:34:21.220
You gotta finish it, man.

01:34:21.700 --> 01:34:22.860
You gotta see the end.

01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:23.320
I remember it existed.

01:34:23.820 --> 01:34:24.540
Yeah, I don't know why.

01:34:25.360 --> 01:34:27.160
Yeah, Henrietta is one of the people you can play too.

01:34:27.880 --> 01:34:53.340
The old lady with the big pendulous bosoms. One of my favorite, I don't know why this joke sticks with me from that show, but it was his friend, his Colombian friend, whatever his name was. Oh, yeah. What was his name? Do you remember? I forget his name. I can picture him. But anyway, they're going to do something. He's like, I really don't want to do this with you. And he goes, I'll just relax. We'll go in there and kill this guy or whatever it is. And we'll go get a churro. And he goes, you know, I'm Colombian, right? And he goes, that's a spirit.

01:34:57.120 --> 01:35:26.520
That's such a funny line. Yeah, it's good. I put that geezer picture in the chat. It's pretty funny. It'll make you laugh. Oh, this piney bitch is going down easy. I think we need to. Oh, there you go. That's awesome. This piney bitch is going down easy. Oh, is that a song clip? Probably. Probably. Yeah, should be. It's a conglomeration of two or three Elton John songs. I know. I was like,

01:35:27.140 --> 01:35:57.100
Take Me Downs. It's like Whitesnakes. Low and easy. That's what I was looking for. I thought I was going to be done with beer, but I might have to get one more. Yeah, because we're up to new releases now. No will yet. No will yet. I'm guessing maybe another 15-20 minutes. We'll see. So first up is Cosmic

01:35:57.960 --> 01:36:26.940
Putrefaction. Fuck me. Crepuscular dirge for the blessed ones. It's the third album from an Italian death metal band. And wow, does this rip. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. I've been, you know, a passing fan in the past, but this one's going to take a little more like, oh, this is definitely possibly in consideration. This is some shit here. I think we all like the last one.

01:36:27.120 --> 01:36:56.600
That's great. Yeah. So this one I felt like has a little bit more actually like brutal moments to it, which I was kind of like, I don't remember that from the last one. And I felt like I definitely got like elements that I guess in the same degree is like a, like artificial brain where it's like, it's very spacey, progressive death metal with like kind of brutal, more brutal vocals. But they, they split, they like break it up with like the lighter stuff too. And then the like really brutal vocals and I'm definitely digging it. Definitely cool.

01:36:56.680 --> 01:37:26.660
I think the difference with this one is first off the production is better yes on this album I think you can see that this band what's really one guy but yeah it's there when you want to listen to these albums I think you have to go under the cans for this because there's a lot of layered stuff in the background you don't hear on a general listen and there's there's keys and sense added on this one that that kind of fill out the sound because you're right it's brutal in spots it's proggy in a few spots

01:37:27.360 --> 01:37:55.580
It's technical. With all I've said, it's still straight on death metal. So there's a lot of touches and flavors to it this time, more so than the last one. And I thought the last one was the same. I thought that same thing compared to the first one. You know, so it's good. And this is long for him. This one's like 40-some minutes long. All his albums are like in the 30 minutes. Yeah, that guy's pretty prolific. I was really into that Tura Sabruna.

01:37:56.760 --> 01:38:26.600
that was out last year. And then I randomly came across, like after the year end, I came across that Vertebra Atlantis thing he did. Right. Which is a whole band, I think. Yeah. And that shit was really good, too. I was like, wow, this guy pretty much. Well, then he's got The Clearing Path, which is another band, just him. Then he's got another band called Summit, which is also just him. But they're all different. You know, he kind of deviates with each band for a different sound that he's looking for. So he's one of those guys. Yeah. He's talented.

01:38:26.680 --> 01:38:56.620
He's a kid too, man. He's young. Really? Try to get him on the cast. I don't even think he's 30 years old yet. Last time we had an Italian on, it was a little rough. He was fine, but it was a lot of patience involved. They're like, what is this stupid Madigan humor? They don't get it. It was rough. It was cool, but dick jokes, not so much. You never know if he's really good.

01:39:24.240 --> 01:39:26.660
I think this one's just as good

01:39:26.660 --> 01:39:56.480
If not better than the last one. So it's going to get a lot of spins from me. And we'll see. But I love it. It's like only three songs or something on it. Yeah. It's great. I love the cover art on it. I mean, everything about it I like. I skimmed it and I thought it was good enough so I bought it. But I need to dig into it a little more. Yeah, I was digging into it. It's very dense. Which is good. You know what I mean? But it also is, I feel like with me,

01:39:59.280 --> 01:40:26.360
I listened to it a couple times actually and I enjoyed it. It's just one of those ones where like I get worried when it's that dense of a type of record like how much I'm going to naturally go back to it. But I was definitely digging it and I definitely am going back to it. I'm just curious to see how that pans out in terms of like lasting throughout the year with everything else. Yeah. Yeah, because when it was records dense like that, I definitely listen to it a lot at the beginning because I want to try to get everything.

01:40:27.300 --> 01:40:53.720
I want to try to hear everything in it and give it a fair shot. But will you keep going back? Because there's that switch that turns, right? Like you keep listening to it and you're like, oh, I've got all these pieces and I really, really enjoy how they crafted this. And then I would go back to it. And then sometimes like, oh, that's enough. I'm not going to need any more of that. But I'm already a big fan of Haunter. So I think probably I'm going to be re-spinning it a ton.

01:40:55.000 --> 01:41:24.460
Yeah, I'll definitely be going back to it for sure. So this next one, I have to speak with an accent because I just binged all of the three seasons of what we do in the shadows. And this one, this band is I am the night while the gods are sleeping. It's their first album. They're a Finnish black metal band. Not really much to do with Vampires A as far as I can tell, but Finnish black metal.

01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:54.340
Yeah, they feature like other some of the other musicians are from some big bands. I think there's one guy is playing with Paradise Lost. Interesting. Yeah. So yeah, cool. Yeah. I bought this one too on a skim. I was like, yeah, okay, I'm into this. It's early black metal vibe, but with production. Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking. I was like, oh, okay. Yeah. So this is like, like early mid nineties Norwegian black metal with a modern production. Sounds good to me. Bye.

01:41:56.360 --> 01:41:58.040
They wanted it to actually sound good.

01:41:58.480 --> 01:41:58.560
Yeah.

01:42:00.020 --> 01:42:03.020
So this, I mean, it's, uh, it's, it's solid.

01:42:03.200 --> 01:42:03.840
I think it's solid.

01:42:03.900 --> 01:42:04.240
It's solid.

01:42:04.420 --> 01:42:04.460
Yeah.

01:42:04.700 --> 01:42:08.420
Really, uh, make my heart flutter, but you know, exactly.

01:42:08.620 --> 01:42:08.720
Yeah.

01:42:08.840 --> 01:42:11.200
That's how I kind of got, that's what I got kind of got from it too.

01:42:11.300 --> 01:42:13.320
It's like, this is, this is pretty good.

01:42:13.460 --> 01:42:16.000
We are, you know, this type style black metal for sure.

01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:20.160
But I don't think there was anything in it that like, uh, grabbed me where like, I, I, it's

01:42:20.240 --> 01:42:22.980
going to probably, I don't know if I would go back to it, but it's definitely solid.

01:42:23.040 --> 01:42:50.620
If that's your wheelhouse, then that's your deal. And this is pretty solid. Exactly. There was nothing in it that stood out to me as super unique or something that I could grab onto. It's just well done. Well done. Very well done, yes. It's like if you're looking for something in this style and you want it to sound good, here's an album for it. I don't know if there's like five or six different death metal bands that probably like it's in that same vein, but for me, because I like death metal more, I'm going to go back to that. Right.

01:42:54.080 --> 01:43:23.020
I'm still on the fence on honestly. Um, and I know I'm going to take some shit for that, but this is the Ms. Moore and thou, uh, collaboration, uh, myopia, the oops, myopia. Sorry. I had two lines that there's supposed to be a break there. Myopia. Um, you know, I think Ms. Moore is cool. I think thou is cool. I, I listened to this while I was power washing. So I wasn't giving it my full

01:43:25.980 --> 01:43:31.340
But I do need to give it a more focused listen, I think.

01:43:33.460 --> 01:43:51.700
I love the record. I'm really digging the way that Thou is doing all these collaborations. I like Miz more too. I really like their album from this year as well. So I think this one's just a great merging of the two different styles together.

01:43:53.880 --> 01:44:20.680
It's heavy. It's moody. Just like the Mismore stuff. But it's got good riffs to it. I like all the songs. I never know what to expect with these collaborations. At least it wasn't with the body. Everybody collaborates with thou or the body. I prefer the thou stuff. Full of hell.

01:44:20.720 --> 01:44:50.700
I feel like they're in that mix a lot yes them too well the body is just a bunch of noise I saw them open up for a band and I was like I don't even what am I even watching here this is not even really music yeah I don't care for them love the body they just love that like gangbusters I can't get into it nope well this like this this record wasn't on my like on my radar in terms of like to listen to because and when I looked up because I didn't know who Ms. Moore was I looked up and I saw that they were kind of drone yeah they drone elements in there you know tags

01:44:50.740 --> 01:44:54.020
and that's typically not my wheelhouse.

01:44:54.430 --> 01:45:02.020
But I do like, I really did like the Vow, Emma Ruth Rundle record.

01:45:02.260 --> 01:45:06.860
That was cool because that totally played to my love for all grunge stuff.

01:45:07.220 --> 01:45:11.000
It totally fell in that Married Nicely, I felt like.

01:45:11.250 --> 01:45:12.320
It kind of gave the same vibes.

01:45:13.780 --> 01:45:16.140
So I definitely went into this with more of an open mind.

01:45:16.220 --> 01:45:19.380
It's just not my, I could tell it gets super well done.

01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:49.180
If you like that type of stuff, it definitely has a really cool feel to it. I love the atmosphere on it. It's definitely very atmospheric. Miz Moore is very atmospheric, like you were saying. Let's get that drone quality to him. I wish I liked Miz Moore than I do. I feel like he's super talented, but I just do not get into it. But when you pair him with Thou, it's a different story for me. Thou art on board.

01:45:49.980 --> 01:46:19.580
Right. Very much. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think it's a great combination because like we said, he's definitely more droney, less big riffs. And thou is more of that, that sludgy, you know, chug riff type music. Yeah. It goes really well together. Pretty cool. It's like chocolate and peanut butter. Yep. All right. So next we have the new album from the spirit of clarity and galactic structures.

01:46:20.680 --> 01:46:49.900
And because this was squished into Ms. Moore, I didn't write down notes for it, but I think it's the third album or second album? Third. Third album. Third album. I remember I really liked the first one, was not as impressed with the second one. Third one, I liked what I heard, but I haven't given it much of a listen. And I told John that the other day, I need to go back to it, but I haven't. No, it's good. Just when they're each album, they get a little more proggy with their black metal. So, but it's still black metal.

01:46:51.660 --> 01:46:57.580
The first album was very dissection-like. I remember that. There's probably still

01:46:57.800 --> 01:47:00.880
little bits of element, little bits here and there of that, but

01:47:01.820 --> 01:47:04.960
they've kind of been slowly morphing their sound with each album, I think.

01:47:06.440 --> 01:47:08.820
Yeah. I thought it was solid. Cool.

01:47:09.660 --> 01:47:12.900
I listened to it a few times. I'll probably go back to it again. Yeah, I definitely need to.

01:47:14.080 --> 01:47:16.060
Lists are coming, like winter.

01:47:17.460 --> 01:47:47.320
John Joe sounded like Rain Man when he said that. I thought it was solid. It's a solid album. It's a pretty solid album. 425,000. So I was just looking at the script because I'm like, what fucking band is this? And I was looking and I realized that, George, you didn't hit. Yes, that's what I just, yeah, I, yeah, somehow I fucked that up. It looked like the Mizmore and Thou had an album called Myopia.

01:47:47.460 --> 01:48:16.580
the spirit. Yes, I started to say that and I was like, wait a minute, that's the next band. It's very metal, it makes sense. Yeah, so hence my confusion when I got to that point. So yeah. So nobody listened to it because they thought it was an actual album. Exactly, exactly. Next up, I know this one's a popular one, the new undeath album, It's Time to Rise from the Grave, their second album, they're a Rochester, New York death metal band.

01:48:16.660 --> 01:48:46.620
And this was Will's Album of the Month for April. And with good reason. I heard it. It's some pretty ripping death metal there. Yeah, for sure. That's very ripping. What I like about it, too, I mean, I love their last record, too. But what's cool is they're a relatively new band. They don't have much material out. And usually in new bands, you see the sound progress, like they're adding more layers and more elements to their sound. But to me, this one almost feels like they streamed

01:48:46.680 --> 01:49:16.540
It kind of rips a little bit harder to me. I feel like the production is a little better though. The production is a lot better. Speak of the will and he shall appear. Yeah, I really dug this one too. Here comes Will. Come to us, Will. We summon you from the beyond. Who's got the Ouija board? If you have the will, we have the weenie.

01:49:17.320 --> 01:49:46.520
I do the solo head in a black room. Wait, this is just like, well, I'm a last cast. I know. Wait, hold on. I forgot to use how to use technology. There he is. Look at him. Holy man, Will. I forgot what he looked like. You guys didn't see him as glasses on, did you? What glasses? I don't know what you're talking about. I just want to actually check in because my kids are still awake. Hi, Justin.

01:49:47.440 --> 01:50:16.620
What's with the goatee, dude? That's totally going to scratch my balls, man. That's a full beard, dude. Yeah. I know. I only took Will 13 seconds to mention his dick or balls. Yeah. A new record. A new cock record. Pretty much every conversation Will and I have end with talking about dick or balls. Well, that's pretty much all of us. Well, that's weird. It's every single person he's ever met. So, Will, you are

01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:46.220
are timely because we were talking about undeath. Oh, that's awesome. It is my album of the month. Yes. Well, tell us why you like it. I like it because it's absolutely nice music. It's nice. It's nice piano music. No, it's awesome. Brutal death metal. And a buddy of mine, I should say a buddy of mine, a guy I know who's in a million bands that he does some promotion at Atlas, Tommy Wall.

01:50:46.640 --> 01:51:14.640
is in the band. So he's from DC, but the rest of the band is from like Rochester area, New York. So he had to do a whole lot of commuting up there, but he's extremely talented guy. What's he playing on the album again? It's either guitar or bass. Instrument? Yeah, I think he goes back and forth to the tour, I think. Yeah. Yes. Just like that, George. Yes. Yes.

01:51:16.660 --> 01:51:46.460
Anyway, I'm actually just here to say hi for a second. My kids are still awake. And then I'll jump back on balls deep in a little bit. And then what's awesome about this is I'm going to sign off and Jay's never going to know that I was on. Thanks for just giving us the tip, Will. Just the tip. Just the tip. I was going to start with just the tip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, so are you guys done with the roundtable?

01:51:46.660 --> 01:52:16.540
Oh, yeah. We're about to do the Thunderdome results and move on to what we're listening to, so hurry up. Oh, okay. All right. Now to get here for top five. Be like, kids, bed now. What is the top five? One Album Wonders. Bands that put out one album. Maybe a demo or an EP. Chumbawamba. Hey, now, I'm a rock star. No, that's Chumbawamba. That's not Chumbawamba. That's a one-hit. That's a Chumbawamba, yeah. But there's the I get knocked down.

01:52:16.660 --> 01:52:17.880
But I'll get up again.

01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:19.380
I have a wrong.

01:52:19.610 --> 01:52:20.160
Oh, wait, wait, there's Jake.

01:52:20.250 --> 01:52:20.640
I gotta leave.

01:52:20.730 --> 01:52:21.000
I gotta leave.

01:52:21.220 --> 01:52:21.280
Sorry.

01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:21.860
Bye.

01:52:22.580 --> 01:52:23.600
Turned your video off quick.

01:52:26.240 --> 01:52:26.960
That was great.

01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:28.440
Wait for it.

01:52:28.540 --> 01:52:28.820
Wait for it.

01:52:29.500 --> 01:52:29.720
All right.

01:52:30.140 --> 01:52:30.360
All right.

01:52:30.500 --> 01:52:31.380
What's the next album, George?

01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:34.520
Well, it was good to hear from Will, but he had to go.

01:52:35.670 --> 01:52:36.040
All right.

01:52:36.200 --> 01:52:41.860
Well, we have one more new release, and that's the new Vanom album, Legend.

01:52:42.800 --> 01:52:43.600
It's their third album.

01:52:43.780 --> 01:52:45.920
They're a U.S. black metal band.

01:52:46.660 --> 01:53:15.900
Since they're called Venom, their album should be called Bleak Metal, but whatever. Because it's close to Venom. Hello, losers. Right, right, right. Nobody on this show is as funny as I am. I guess not. Sure. That was actually funny. Thank you, Joe. It just took me a minute. So Matt was pumping his fist for that one. I like this one. I like Venom. I don't know. I've only given it one spin, so I need to definitely

01:53:15.940 --> 01:53:45.600
Dive Dive In A Little Bit More. My first pass, I did not like it as much as our last album, but really good atmospherical black metal. I agree with that. Did you drunk purchase it, Matt? No, not yet. Maybe tonight. Maybe tonight. All right. I'll be looking. I really like the last record a lot. This one's good. Maybe not as good. I think I just got to spit it more. But yeah, on first impression,

01:53:45.920 --> 01:54:15.560
that I didn't like as much. And that's how I really got into the last one. Because I feel like there was a Bastem and a Vanim. Yeah, Bastem's better, I think. Yeah, Bastem. Yes. Yeah, I felt like I got confused with that too. I'm like, oh shit, they're putting it out. I'm like, oh, that's the same Vanim. But I fell back on the Vanim and I was like, this is kind of in my wheelhouse too. So, just, you know, time will tell. All right. I dug it enough to go. I'm going to go back to it for sure. Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right.

01:54:15.940 --> 01:54:45.900
So now it is time for the Thunderdome results from last episode. Last episode, Matt decided that Sadis' Swallowed in Black would go up against Autopsy's Severed Survival. At the time of the podcast, we had a tie. Will voted for Sadis, and so on the podcast, Sadis wins. However, in the

01:54:45.920 --> 01:55:15.900
In the court of public opinion, autopsy takes two-thirds of the votes on the poll. That's enough, son, man. The Constitution right there. Yep. Yep. So... Every single one I pick, our listeners choose the opposite. Yeah, it does seem like the users tend to...

01:55:16.740 --> 01:55:44.660
The Opposite. My job's in Jeopardy here. You lost on Jeopardy. Stadius is a great band, but I know for me, I'm not a big thrashy guy, and the vocals are a little bit more leaning in the thrashy. So that's why I just, and I'm definitely more into Death Doom, so Autopsy obviously falls into that a little bit more. Yep, man. That's why I went that way. Totally makes sense. All right, let's move on to what we are listening to.

01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:11.960
And first up is Justin.

01:56:13.480 --> 01:56:13.740
Shit.

01:56:14.180 --> 01:56:14.340
Shit.

01:56:16.760 --> 01:56:43.800
So what are we listening to? All right, hold on, let me pull up my little list here. Normally I would have it memorized right now, but I was only told about this yesterday, so hold on. Oh, excuse me. Thanks for coming on, too. Yes. I was totally stoked to come on, let me tell you. But, you know, I'm fucking OCD and I overprepare for everything. As one does. The new Discordia I actually really like. Oh, shit, I forgot to listen to that.

01:56:44.560 --> 01:57:14.480
It could be a little shorter. It could be a little trimmed down a little bit. But I'm really digging that. The new Sepulchral Curse? Yeah, Sepulchral Curse. Yeah, whatever. They came out with an EP. I'm digging that. Wish they would tone down the hardcore vocals a little bit. But because they do like a mix of like death and like these like kind of screaming vocals. Like they're kind of and I'm not a big dual vocal guy.

01:57:14.580 --> 01:57:44.540
in any sort of genre really um and but the music fucking rips so like i kind of like i'm kind of like okay with the i'm kind of okay with it you know what i mean because they have the music to back it up um and then and then the rest of them because i pretty much listened to what you guys had on the list so now i'm just going to pimp out the other few i'm just going to pimp out some bands that i've picked up this year that i want people to know about before mid-year because

01:57:44.540 --> 01:57:48.040
I fucking love them and I haven't heard people mention them nearly as much

01:57:48.930 --> 01:57:49.060
um

01:57:51.080 --> 01:57:52.740
Ectoplasma Inferna Kabbalah

01:57:53.580 --> 01:57:56.560
is my favorite death metal album so far this year

01:57:57.620 --> 01:57:57.920
um

01:57:58.580 --> 01:58:00.440
even over Immolation who comes

01:58:00.530 --> 01:58:02.440
very close to it cause they're one of my favorite death metal

01:58:02.620 --> 01:58:04.540
bands I fucking and I don't know

01:58:04.620 --> 01:58:06.540
why I love this Ectoplasma like on the

01:58:06.660 --> 01:58:08.020
surface it doesn't seem

01:58:08.350 --> 01:58:10.500
it just seems like kind of caveman-y

01:58:11.270 --> 01:58:12.400
uh death metal

01:58:12.400 --> 01:58:42.100
But then they just have really fucking catchy riffs. And they have like, and then they just, all of a sudden they just start changing it up. And there's like some, there's like little touches of like, like death doom and like some proggy stuff, like kind of just sprinkled in there. The vocals are kind of just gross enough where I like them, but not so much so where it takes away from the music for me. I just think that they're fun vocally. Anyways, that's my biggest pimp out.

01:58:42.160 --> 01:59:10.680
But besides that one, Hangman's Chair is another one I've been pushing George to listen to too. Yeah. A Loner. It's my like probably like most alt metal type of record so far this year that I love the most. It's very, there's lots of typo negative elements in it, but it's got that cold wave fusion in there too. Yeah.

01:59:10.780 --> 01:59:39.940
So it's got some kind of cool feels to it. And then just the songs are just super catchy. It's, you know, like it's not super heavy, but it's, you know, it's do me. It's cool. I like it. Fire Breather is another one. I'm not like a super big fan of Stoner Doom, but I think these guys do it really well. I really like it. Again, just super catchy stuff, super catchy riffs. Kevin,

01:59:40.000 --> 02:00:09.780
Kevin, the Great Below. I don't know if that's how you say it. That's how I say it. The K-V-A-E-N. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was my most anticipated blackmail album because I liked the riffiness of it. And the new one didn't disappoint. I feel like he expanded the sound a lot on this record. That In Silence song is stuck on my head all the fucking time. I love it. All right. Only a couple more. Mass Worship.

02:00:10.000 --> 02:00:39.340
No one's mentioned at all who I think are. It's weird because like they're on Century Media. So I feel like more people should be talking about them. But I know there's a whole Century Media band camp like thing that like sometimes Century Media bands seem to get missed by like the core metal community. They fall into a black hole because Century Media won't put them on there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, so it's I'm trying to think of the best way to it's it's it's it's got a lot of post metal stuff to it.

02:00:39.380 --> 02:01:07.740
It's got a lot of like Meshuggah stuff to it and some death metal. It's just this really cool mix of genres that just works really well for me. They have one song called I think it's called Spectular Void or something like that. It's just so catchy. I love it. Nihility is another one where death metal act that a lot of people don't seem to be really talking about too much. If you liked like that Stork Rain. Is that what they were called from last year?

02:01:07.740 --> 02:01:08.460
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:01:09.040 --> 02:01:36.860
That band, like, in that kind of vein where it's like it's kind of technical, but it's kind of like theatrical, too, in a sense. There's some keys in there. And then Avertine is the other one. Or Averturnee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I-T-E-R-T-E-R-N-E. The Ailing Facade is what it's called. And that one's really cool, too. It's very, like, if you're into that, like, you know, dissonant, spacey type of death metal.

02:01:39.100 --> 02:02:04.960
I read something about it where they apparently wrote it in the fashion of writing industrial music because one of the guys in there is in an industrial band too. I don't remember the name of the band right now, but really good, catchy, a little different, which I like. And yeah, maybe I guess I'll stop. I could keep going. I'll stop there. You're the new George. Yeah, don't. I have a lie.

02:02:07.120 --> 02:02:34.760
Those are just the ones I would say that are like the top ones that I hear the least about. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's a cool way to do the list. Love. Yeah. What do you have there, Will? What are you drinking? What are you wearing? If anything. Darkness. Sexy. What is that? It's a surly, burly, darkness. Surly, burly darkness. It's on a can. I know.

02:02:37.140 --> 02:03:05.600
I'm deciding whether to open this or not because I have this really, really good friend who felt bad for me because I have cancer who sent me all these tremendous beers and things. His name is Matt and I received it two days ago. I think I drank half the beers already. You sent me those pics, like three of them. I was like, I thought that was all the same. I was like, oh, fuck. Will's going to be dead. Well, two were one night. One tweak was last night. And then the early darkness.

02:03:08.660 --> 02:03:36.340
If you don't mind, would you mind holding that off? And then I'll bring a beer over to the house because every time Matt sends somebody or gives someone a bottle of darkness, I end up drinking it. So I drank one with you at your house. We will do that. What are you doing tomorrow? Because I'm free almost the entire day. Hold on. It's Mother's Day. Yeah. I know. I am free. Right. Literally. Well, actually. I am getting divorced, so I am free.

02:03:37.140 --> 02:04:07.100
I'll get back to you on that one because the other night TR and I just drank another bottle of darkness that he gave to TR. Oh well hey if wait are you just like the darkness mooch? Well no no I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. I give TR a bottle every death fest or a decimal fest. Hold off John I will get something else but you may need to come over tomorrow because I don't know how many days I can I don't know how many days I'm around to

02:04:07.120 --> 02:04:37.080
Hi Jay, you missed me, I was on earlier, I love you, you should unmute yourself, let's go, honestly, I thought they were teasing me, because I came back, and they were like, no, I guess that's it for Will, and I thought, oh, fuck you, like, I thought they were just like, aha, Jay, that's what you got, no, he left, because you're coming back, and he didn't want, he was like, ha ha ha, I had to tuck my son in, take him to bed, and then make sure everyone's okay, but it was kind of a joke, like, I'm here, and Jay doesn't know I'm here, and then you start coming in, like, I'm gonna leave real quick, and I'm gonna leave again, because apparently, I can't trick

02:04:37.080 --> 02:04:38.140
I could get another beer.

02:04:38.560 --> 02:04:39.180
Well, I can't.

02:04:39.410 --> 02:04:39.880
All right.

02:04:40.160 --> 02:04:44.040
So, Marcus, what are you listening to?

02:04:45.780 --> 02:04:46.120
Oh, yeah.

02:04:46.340 --> 02:04:46.840
What am I listening to?

02:04:47.660 --> 02:04:52.780
First one is Inanna, Void of Unending Depths on Memento Mori Records.

02:04:53.020 --> 02:04:57.480
I talked about Inanna last month because I had just discovered that band and listened

02:04:57.480 --> 02:05:02.040
to the older material and a new record was coming, but it wasn't out yet.

02:05:02.150 --> 02:05:06.360
But now it's out, sort of, because they haven't put it on Bandcamp, but I think they put

02:05:06.380 --> 02:05:36.340
it up on YouTube finally. But it's, as I expected, it's a tremendous progressive death metal album. And the death side is definitely emphasized with this band, but then they have these forays into spacey passages that are really cool and well done. And it was my album of the month for April. I'm really high on this band. I'm also listening to Ferdalance, the Hyperborean on Cruz del Sur music. This is like an

02:05:38.580 --> 02:06:05.900
It kind of throws and touches a black metal. There's doom in there. It's a lot more involved than their debut EP Colossus that came out 2020, which was on my like top five EPs list. So it's taken me a few listens to kind of get into this album. They're on there from Chicago too. So I'll probably see them when they start playing live. But now I'm into it. I'm ready to throw on my chain mail and then wade into war.

02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:35.960
or whatever they call. It's a really good record. Yeah, I like that one. Cool, man. Yeah, have you listened to the EP? Colossus is great. I did not, so I'll check that out. That's really good. Devil Master, we mentioned it before. Ecstasies of Neverending Thought on Relapse Records. I've never been overly enthused about Devil Master. I didn't really care much about the last album, but I thought this one was really good. The band's clearly talented, and I just think that they have that

02:06:36.000 --> 02:06:43.340
that magic punk metal formula that they play, that they've nailed it on this one for me anyways.

02:06:43.820 --> 02:06:48.640
Hey, Mark, they played Atlas before and they put on a hell of a show. I mean, this is a really good show.

02:06:49.620 --> 02:06:54.440
Yeah, they're a really good band. There's something about that last record. I just, I couldn't get into it. Couldn't get into it. This one.

02:06:54.630 --> 02:06:58.040
It sucked. I don't know. It's this one got me.

02:06:59.700 --> 02:07:00.320
All right. Fair enough.

02:07:01.620 --> 02:07:03.560
They're much better live. I'll tell you that.

02:07:04.300 --> 02:07:34.280
They were interesting live. It was like each band member was in a different band, like clothing wise. Costume. Costume wise. It's like there was a vampire and there was a wizard. Next one is a Feral Light, Psychic Contortions. I believe this was Matt's album of the month. Let's see. Ivoid Hanger, which I love. I've been a big fan of this band for a while. I've been buying all their

02:07:36.640 --> 02:08:01.700
their albums and stuff in the last few. And I just feel like they keep getting better. They play this kind of kick-ass, experimental, crust-infused black metal. And every album just gets better and better and just more engaging and just interesting to me. So I'm pretty high on this one. It was pretty close. The Inanna record was clearly number one for me, but Feral Light was up there.

02:08:02.280 --> 02:08:32.220
And then the last one I had on my list is Blaze, self-titled. This is an album from 2007, actually. And I started spinning it again because I thought it might be a candidate for my top five one-album wonders. But they did this 27-minute EP in 2014, so I took it off my list. And they're still playing. But they're a band from Japan, and they play this really fantastic, catchy, traditional,

02:08:32.300 --> 02:09:01.760
heavy metal, big anthems with a phenomenal guitar work by Hisashi Suzuki. He's like one of those guitars that's so good that should be heralded, but because they're a Japanese band and they're not especially well known in the States, you just don't know about them. But I was happy to see that they're still around because I thought they had just done that one album and that was it. And they have EP and they're playing.

02:09:01.800 --> 02:09:30.300
and hopefully they'll do more. So that's been really fun to spin. It's hard to find that one. The full album is on YouTube. Somebody put it together. And I have the MP3s of it because I had it on CD. But yeah, that was fun. I love like a Japanese metal bands. There's something about it because you don't see them that much. And then when you discover one and then you listen to it, then you kind of find another one. And there's probably just so many out there I don't know about.

02:09:31.360 --> 02:09:35.780
I think Jay actually you would particularly like Blaze I think you should try to give that a shot

02:09:37.680 --> 02:09:38.980
but yeah that's what I got

02:09:39.660 --> 02:09:40.200
all right

02:09:41.440 --> 02:09:41.620
Matt

02:09:43.100 --> 02:09:43.660
so

02:09:45.640 --> 02:09:47.880
as mentioned Cosmic Petrefaction

02:09:49.160 --> 02:09:50.620
that came out fully yesterday

02:09:51.380 --> 02:09:52.160
really digging it

02:09:52.860 --> 02:09:54.960
as well as earlier this week the new track

02:09:55.100 --> 02:09:55.480
from Wake

02:09:56.600 --> 02:09:59.159
another band that came out yesterday Vital Spirit

02:09:59.180 --> 02:10:29.080
Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind. I didn't delve into it too much until I read something that compared them to Wayfair. And while to me, Wayfair is untouchable in their genre, this is like, I see the comparison. This is a good album. It's definitely not as good as Wayfair, but still pretty solid. A band I dig from Italy, Ufumamat. I think it's how it's pronounced.

02:10:29.440 --> 02:10:57.500
They're kind of a sludgy, sludge band. This album is called Phenise. I think it's probably their ninth album. Also, as Marcason mentioned, Farrah Light, Krusty Black Metal. They're a local band for me, so I'm hoping that they will have a live show soon. It's, you know, it's probably happened with my luck. Also, a band that you may have heard of called Blue Dust Nord. Ha ha ha ha ha. They have, I think they have like two tracks out now.

02:10:57.860 --> 02:11:27.820
One was released within the last couple weeks. So far, what I'm hearing, I really dig, which is pretty normal for me with Blue Doss Nord. Never can tell. You're going to get with them. Him. Also, a band called Discordia. The album is triptych. They are, you know, I would call them a techie, thrashy death metal band. I'm digging that quite a bit. And then the band is called Pyreth Monuments to Impressions.

02:11:29.740 --> 02:11:54.340
That's on Gilead Media, kind of sludgy death, really digging it. And then as far as nothing, you know, as far as getting out of the new stuff coming out, I'm still working on the Led Zeppelin book. I'm probably about two thirds of the way through. So I've been listening to them, you know, as the book progresses, but also the bands that are also that are, you know, kind of mentioned throughout the book, the Yarnbirds and New Yarnbirds, Cream, Spirit, and All Fudge, etc.

02:11:57.260 --> 02:12:27.220
Strangely enough, when I was in Mexico, I woke up probably the second day and I thought, I just need some riffage. And this quote popped into my head from Todd from Three Floyds Brewing. When he saw sleep, he referred to Matt Pike as the Riff Master General. And so I threw on some high on fire and I just delved in spiritually. I've always loved high on fire, but man, I've never

02:12:27.260 --> 02:12:57.220
I've taken the time to just let High on Fire immerse itself in my veins. Yes. Fuck, dude. This is good shit. I came back at the right time. You know, a couple days ago, my lifelong best friend's son, who is now like 16, and a bass player, texted me. We were talking about the guitar I was working on. And then he was like, hey, so this guy that my mom

02:12:57.380 --> 02:13:27.220
works with gave me an album by a band called high on fire are they any good and i was like well yeah which album and he was like it was lumina ferris and i was like oh that's a great album fucking check that shit out and they're all pretty great yeah that's what's awesome about high on fire yeah i have them all on vinyl except for one which i think they just re-released on vinyl what are they missing the day mysterious so and i just released it on vinyl again

02:13:57.240 --> 02:14:27.000
In retrospect, they're a fucking vital band. That's a record you bought. The tones are so big and fat. I mean, it's just... Their last record was so good, dude. I was so glad that they kind of got back. I didn't like the Luminiferous one as much as the newest one. I liked it. I thought the new one was Return to Form. Yeah, it was good. I went back. I thought that too, and then I went back to Luminiferous, and I was like,

02:14:28.280 --> 02:14:57.200
because I still liked it a lot but I it was lower if I was going to rank the albums and then I listened to it again I was like I don't know what I was thinking this is just as good as some of the other records so I you know I actually have some mild insight into that and you can see you can hear this on your own but like if you listen to uh Death is Discommunion or Bless Black Wings or anything like that there are all these like weird little instrumental and linking linking parts he has and all these different things that happen and he literally said the reason that didn't happen on Lumina Ferris was

02:14:57.220 --> 02:15:00.780
because he was married and he was just like i was like i didn't have time to do all those

02:15:00.820 --> 02:15:05.200
little extra special things i'm not saying it's a bad record it's just and then he got a divorce

02:15:07.540 --> 02:15:13.340
or lost his girlfriend or whatever it was and went right back to this kind of like obsessive

02:15:13.820 --> 02:15:22.480
weird you know editing things together stuff all right matt you got more um so the the in listening to the

02:15:22.480 --> 02:15:52.460
the High on Fire catalog. And mind you, I don't keep, like, there's not a lot of detail that sticks with me other than the fact that it's fucking amazingly brutal and, like, I would say spiritual once I've let myself, you know, immerse in it. The two things I noted was there are times where I feel like I'm listening to early Mastodon, and there are times where I feel like, gosh, this sounds like that, like, I can feel the influence on Death Clock, you know? And then I realized, like, I'm pretty sure that

02:15:52.500 --> 02:16:21.740
that High on Fire was on that Death Clock tour. No, they weren't. No, they weren't. No? No, Matt. Sorry. I'll give you another thing that will satisfy that, and that is that the Mastodon guys met at a High on Fire show. Okay. Yeah, that's how they met each other. I get it. And Brett Hines does a thing with Matt Pike now, right? Like in the last year? They're like best buds. But they have a side project going on? Well, he's on the Pike album.

02:16:22.360 --> 02:16:28.720
the head on a pike thing oh yeah or the pike album no pike versus the automaton yeah

02:16:29.430 --> 02:16:34.320
head on a pike is the lyric thing um but he's on that and they've been like best buds for like

02:16:34.630 --> 02:16:40.360
a long time yeah which seems natural i mean especially when you say they met at a show and all that

02:16:41.110 --> 02:16:46.540
um and would also would follow that the other being i really um spent more time with than normal is

02:16:47.300 --> 02:17:16.400
which to me, you know, going from high on fire to job is a pretty natural stuff. So for sure. That's it for me. All right. Not too much here. Even though we're always posting a bunch of shit every Friday, doesn't mean I listen to those albums again. So these are the ones I've listened to more than once in the last couple of weeks. We already mentioned cosmic petrifaction. I'm liking that.

02:17:16.559 --> 02:17:45.540
a lot. I listened to it again this morning. I got to get into the cans of that one because I know there's a lot more going on than what I'm hearing off of my speakers. We mentioned The Haunter. I listened to that. I liked the last album. I don't know. Maybe I might like this one a little more, but maybe it's because it's only like 30 minutes long, so I got to listen to it a few more times. I got an EP. I was in a technical death. I hate saying tech death. It sounds so...

02:17:46.059 --> 02:18:15.980
I don't know how to describe it, but I've been listening to a lot of bands that are technical deaf and I found this inner dimensions EP that came out from this band called Unaligned. I don't know who they are, I just kind of stumbled upon it. It's a pretty good album for the debut. I listened to some of that. It was not bad. Yeah, they're very talented. I think they're kids that could be like, you know, people that I'm supporting in college or something, but so it was good. Listened to The New Gathering.

02:18:16.080 --> 02:18:45.200
Not metal, but they used to be a metal band. Their new album, Biddleful Distortion, and they have an EP that came out also called Interference. I've been listening to that. And let's see, a ton of this band called Riverside. Again, not necessarily metal. They have some metal-ish parts, but TR, the Metalheads Butler, and I just went and saw them. When did we see them? Last Saturday, I guess. Yep. Baltimore. It was good. And this guy named Keith Semple opened for them.

02:18:45.880 --> 02:19:15.840
And I got into his catalog because he's with a band from Chicago called the Siberium. They're a prog metal band. And so I've been listening to that since the show. That's it. There's a ton more stuff, but these are the ones I've been listening to on a frequent basis. So. Is Riverside that Polish band? Yes, they are. They, as a matter of fact, Jay, every time I see them or listen to them, I think of you getting just stopped at the door. We are not open to leave. Exactly right. So that story is that I went, I was in

02:19:15.860 --> 02:19:44.740
I went to the record shop that I know had good records, Nurgle from Behemoth. I was like, I told him I was going to Poland when I met him. And it was like, yeah. And I was like, are there any good record shops? They go to this one. So I went to this one. And the band Riverside, somebody owns it or works at it or something. And they were downstairs practicing. And so we knock on the door and we're like, yeah, I want to shop for some records. He goes, okay, I'll go get the guy. They left us out there for a half hour. And then they came back and was like, nah, we're not going to open up for you. They went back and just played music again.

02:19:44.880 --> 02:20:14.760
I think the drummer owns the record store. I think it is, yeah. I didn't get those records. No. But you got that story. I got a good story out of it, that's true. You stopped at the Riverside. That's it for me. I'm done, yeah, that's it. Yeah, not much. All right, Will. Is this what we're listening to? Yes, sir. Okay. I did not prepare because I didn't think I was going to be on. However, somebody mentioned Yob,

02:20:14.900 --> 02:20:44.840
Was it you, Matt? Yes, it was Matt. Yeah, so I've had Yob's Atma. Is that how you pronounce it? I think it's Atma, but probably both work. Atma, yeah, Atma. I've had that on my record player, and it hasn't left in a very long time. It's kind of like my... So if people, you guys all know, but like I have cancer now, so I have to go through all this radiation and chemo

02:20:44.900 --> 02:20:46.840
Mo and stuff like that but super curable so

02:20:47.440 --> 02:20:49.600
um but uh I know um

02:20:50.860 --> 02:20:51.560
I'm totally Mike

02:20:53.020 --> 02:20:54.180
what's the lead singer's name

02:20:55.420 --> 02:20:56.180
from Yob

02:20:56.320 --> 02:20:58.220
Mike Scheid yeah

02:20:58.760 --> 02:21:01.060
so he went through I think diverticulitis

02:21:01.440 --> 02:21:02.540
and anyway he was down and out

02:21:03.300 --> 02:21:04.880
close to death and he came back and wrote

02:21:04.880 --> 02:21:06.980
an amazing album and so I've been listening

02:21:06.980 --> 02:21:08.840
to a lot of that and listening to a lot of chemists just

02:21:08.980 --> 02:21:10.940
kind of like things that are

02:21:11.040 --> 02:21:12.860
going to keep my spirits high or

02:21:13.140 --> 02:21:14.840
motivate me uh high spirits

02:21:14.840 --> 02:21:43.940
They played Atlas a couple months ago. It's just always the best time in the world watching those guys. It's more rock and roll than metal. There's a lot of them. If I go to my Bandcamp, I have not bought that much on Bandcamp recently. I just have a whole bunch of other stuff going on. I did buy The Undeath, which is amazing. You guys talked about it already. I did pick up The Pharmacist's Flourishing Extremities on Unschooled Mental Grounds.

02:21:44.840 --> 02:22:14.800
I think somebody posted in our chat. This is Carcass. That was my. Yeah, it was my album of the month. Yeah. I mean, it is Carcass works and it's great. It's awesome. Listen to the two Temple of Void songs come out. Deathly Shrine, which was my April. No, March. March of the month. Yeah, that's good. And then that's kind of that's kind of it. Like just I mean, just like a whole bunch of stuff in general, but really a lot of job. Just a lot of fun.

02:22:14.900 --> 02:22:44.620
Because for whatever reason, that's just speaking to me right now. It's awesome. Right on. Cool. Jay. Nice. I really suggest you visit that last one. I was the one who liked it the most on the podcast. I'm telling you, it's a stronger record than you remember. And that is the one he made after he recovered. Yeah, that's the one I'm listening to. Atma, right? Is that what it's called? Is that the name of the last one? Was that one? Yeah. Oh, there's such a pretty song on there. That one about the leaves or whatever it is. That's a fucking cool song.

02:22:44.840 --> 02:22:45.120
Yeah, that's what...

02:22:45.120 --> 02:22:45.600
Yeah, that's what...

02:22:46.300 --> 02:22:50.880
So yeah, on vinyl, it's a double album, which is nice.

02:22:52.239 --> 02:23:04.020
So I always check out the new stuff when we post stuff. A couple bands that weren't mentioned that I think some people probably care about here, the new Demonical record is out, and that's pretty good.

02:23:04.920 --> 02:23:05.800
Mass Destroyer.

02:23:06.250 --> 02:23:12.980
Oh, yeah, yeah, dude. I used to be a huge Demonical fan, and I did listen to the new one briefly. I haven't bought it yet.

02:23:13.160 --> 02:23:42.720
I don't like as much as the last one. Right. I kind of felt like they took a little off the gas pedal. Yeah, I think that's exactly the right way to put it. Another, a German band called Wallfarker, Dimension Sofern. Just look it up on Van Camp, it's cool. The Cosmic Future Faction, of course, I like, like everybody else. Saw Borknagar a couple weeks ago, and so I've been kind of revisiting the Borknagar. Oh, nice. I always saw a great show, dude.

02:23:43.180 --> 02:24:13.140
And they stole the show. It was with Ryan and Christ. And Ryan and Christ was actually really good. But Borknagar was definitely the band of the night for me. And then that's most of the metal stuff. But I also discovered something kind of cool on YouTube accidentally. And it's... Bear with me because I think people have different views on these guys. But the guy from The Darkness, that Justin Hawkins has a YouTube channel. And it's fucking awesome, dude. He just talks about different...

02:24:13.180 --> 02:24:17.380
records and bands and what and like how you get fucked in the music but all this

02:24:17.540 --> 02:24:21.580
different stuff a different thing every episode and they're wildly entertaining it is super like

02:24:21.840 --> 02:24:26.660
chill humble dude but two things one is that made me think i should probably listen to some of the

02:24:26.680 --> 02:24:30.900
other darkness records and i gotta say some of them were pretty fucking good i like the darkness i do too

02:24:31.020 --> 02:24:36.460
oh no i like them a lot but they i didn't realize they got a little more metal some of their later ones

02:24:36.620 --> 02:24:41.620
like there's one called easter's canceled that's really fucking cool and blah blah blah but more

02:24:41.620 --> 02:25:11.600
More importantly, not unlike my going down the Gary Moore rabbit hole recently, there's a name I've heard a lot. And I've never really checked him out. And then Justin Hawkins did an episode about him. Just like, hey, here's some songs you should hear by this guy. And he's fucking great. It's not really metal. It's more like hard rock, but it's Rory Gallagher. What a fucking killer. Awesome guitar. And also, John, just and not only not only I think I searched Rory Gallagher on YouTube to watch some live stuff. And

02:25:12.540 --> 02:25:40.000
One of the guys from Hudson Valley Squares rated all the albums in order. So anyway, long story short, I bought like five Rory Gallagher albums in the last four days. I cannot recommend him enough. He's a lost gem. I mean, literally lost now. He's dead. But wow, could that guy fucking play? And it's this bluesy hard rock stuff. Really good stuff. So Rory Gallagher is my new Gary Moore. All right.

02:25:41.620 --> 02:26:11.580
And I'll hand it off to you. So my first album is, I don't know how to pronounce it, but I'm going to say DaWohl. D-A-W-O-H-L. The album is called Leviathan, not Mastodon. It's their first album. They're a French brutal death metal band. I checked that out on Bandcamp. I dug that. My next album is the band called Ibaraki. And the first album is called

02:26:11.600 --> 02:26:36.100
And this is the Matt Heafy long-awaited supposed black metal album with Eson. Eson produced it. This has been in the works for many years. We've been waiting for it. We've been waiting for it. I like it, but it just kind of sounds like a Trivium album to me. Like a slightly heavier, perhaps, Trivium album.

02:26:37.640 --> 02:26:41.260
Was it called again? I actually forgot. I knew this exists or was about to listen to it.

02:26:41.340 --> 02:27:11.320
It's I-B-A-R-A-K-I. Ibaraki. Or perhaps something else. But that's how I pronounce it. It's actually named after a region or a city or something. And yeah, I mean, you know, Marcus made a good point with the last Trivium album that it was kind of good. I really liked it. I mean, I used to be a big Trivium fan for like the first three albums. And then they kind of...

02:27:12.140 --> 02:27:18.200
just got too popular and a little too melodic and it was it was more like metal

02:27:18.420 --> 02:27:41.320
core-ish or something and I just wasn't a fan anymore but I did listen to the last album a little bit and I agree that it was was not terrible metal core in the beginning they hadn't really been metal core in a long time but it wasn't the kind of music that we kind of like you know yeah and this I want to listen to it more because I was I was working and listening to it at the same time and you know there's

02:27:42.040 --> 02:27:46.100
They're not bad clean vocals. I mean, it doesn't have bad clean vocals, but

02:27:48.380 --> 02:27:49.880
so I don't know. I need

02:27:50.360 --> 02:27:52.080
a single for this a few months ago.

02:27:53.500 --> 02:27:56.060
He I think he did, but I didn't know about it because I just

02:27:56.460 --> 02:27:58.780
heard about this like two or three days ago. I was like, what?

02:28:00.020 --> 02:28:03.380
Okay, so I think I heard that and I was just kind of like

02:28:03.480 --> 02:28:04.860
I think I'm okay. Yeah,

02:28:07.260 --> 02:28:07.660
exactly.

02:28:08.960 --> 02:28:38.680
So I don't want to come down either way on this one until I give it more listens. You're not endorsing it, George. I'm not endorsing it, but I'm not pooping on it either. Before you go any further, though, is it singular? It's just Esau produced it and nothing else? He produced it and I wanted to say there's almost like anthems to the welcome at dusk symphonic element to it. Parts of it.

02:28:38.720 --> 02:29:08.480
I was like, I was like, oh, okay. Uh, but I don't think he played on it as far as I know. Uh, but they've been working on it together. And, uh, so it's a Matt Heafy album produced by Isak. Yes. And it is, it's all like based on his Japanese heritage. That's cool. Hence all the titles and stuff. I mean, I'll listen to it because I mean, I think Trivium is a really talented band. I thought I haven't always liked it, like their stuff, but I would check that out.

02:29:08.700 --> 02:29:37.760
I'm not even a big Eson fan to be honest with you so nothing says Japanese heritage like a dude from Norway producing your album but okay well yeah but true I mean back in the day I thought Trivium was going to be the new Metallica and in a way they are because people thought they were going to be because but in terms of like popularity they you know they're definitely in the more commercial vein of popular metal bands so maybe they are just not the way I thought they were going to be

02:29:38.840 --> 02:30:07.680
Anyway, next up, I have a band called In Aphelion. The first album called Moribund. They're a Swedish-Netherlands black metal band. I just kind of stumbled across this one, and I was like, I don't think I like this, but I'll listen to it anyway. And I was like, oh, this is actually pretty cool. So, check it out. Next up, Kirk Hammett. You might have heard of his band,

02:30:08.840 --> 02:30:37.660
He put out a four-song EP called Portals, his very first solo effort. I know Jay had some things to say about that. I thought it was pretty cool, despite I agree with what you said. I mean, and it doesn't hang there. To be fair to it, it doesn't then become to Tame-A-Land. It's just got a little whatever. Now, wasn't this supposed to be the audio companion to some visual effort of some sort? It seems to me he was trying to make a soundtrack.

02:30:38.879 --> 02:31:07.080
I didn't hear about that but I have to say that it's very cinematic so I would not be surprised if it was. Is he singing on it? Does it sound heavy? It's all instrumental. It's all instrumental and I enjoy it. I think it's pretty cool. To its credit it doesn't sound like Metallica at least the song I heard I haven't heard the whole album. Yeah no I listened to all of it and it's very cinematic and vinyl.

02:31:07.780 --> 02:31:37.400
because it was a record store day. Yeah. Oh. So I was on the, I wasn't going to get it and I was like, I'm just going to grab it. When you say it doesn't sound like Metallica, does it not sound like the last 30 years of Metallica? Yeah, it doesn't sound like Metallica. It's nothing like it. It almost sounds like a soundtrack. It's like. It's cinematic. It's very. Yeah. Like I said, there's like, there's a lot of orchestral interweavings of the songs. There's a spaghetti western in there. Yeah, yeah. Swipe left. Swipe left. Got it. Okay. Honestly, probably.

02:31:37.760 --> 02:31:43.000
I think in your case I would and I did I listened to one song it's like okay I see what he's doing here

02:31:44.979 --> 02:31:49.440
I like how Will is using single man terminology now swipe left

02:31:51.579 --> 02:31:59.080
I can honestly say like I have no idea if that means yeah I know there's swipe right and swipe left and it has something to do with dating apps

02:31:59.580 --> 02:32:03.500
I have no idea if left or right is the correct way I'm not I don't either

02:32:03.880 --> 02:32:33.440
I have no clue. I will never be on a dating app. So sorry. Sorry. All you dudes out there who think you're gonna find me on Grindr. Finally, after we talk about it so much, but you will not find me on there. I think I, I, there's no reason for me to know this, but I think last is the no. So I have no idea. That would make more sense. Yeah. I could be wrong. I don't know. Find out, get this vital information to us. Yeah. Justin. Yeah. What would Justin know? He's married too. I know the, no, well,

02:32:35.979 --> 02:33:00.320
That's straight single people shit. I don't know anything about that. We don't just like, no. So we're all in the same boat. I want to fuck you and that's pretty much it. Wait, wait, wait. That was good. You just said. I'm sorry, but you said that's straight. That's straight. What is it? Straight single people. No, because I'm just saying like on like the. No, no, no. I love it. I just heard it. I heard it like this, like that straight up. And I was like, no, he needs straight.

02:33:03.840 --> 02:33:33.380
It's like you click on a bear or like a were raccoon or something like that. It's all animal shit. There's a paw button. No, there is. There's like a little paw button and then it's like a wolf. Yeah, and a wolf is like... And then you have to look for like silver, gold, platinum. That's fantastic. Wait, I forgot what silver, gold, platinum was. Can you remind me? Oh my God. Is it about the hair color? No. No, it's about the degree in which you've been with the opposite sex.

02:33:35.339 --> 02:34:03.420
The less of it, the higher status you are. Oh, wrong! Platinum is at the top. Oh, so you get rewarded for being pure. Because if you had a C-section, you didn't even come close to the vid JJ. Yes, I was a C-section. That puts me into the platinum category. I'm glad I asked that, though, because that's a good thing to know. That's a very fun fact. It's all coming back to me. And I didn't come up with this. This existed before me. I'm just relating information to people.

02:34:03.520 --> 02:34:33.420
I don't get credit for it, man. No. All right. My next album is a band called. I run. Are you still doing your album? I have two more. Just two. Oh, the only two. Cause you're only like, I was like, Oh shit. George is back. No, man. I only have six. Okay. My next album is band called skull fist. And it's their fourth album called paid in full. They're a Toronto, like traditional speed band. Um, I, I thought they were more of a thrash band. Cause I know I was like, Oh, I liked these guys.

02:34:33.500 --> 02:35:03.380
I'm going to listen to this. And I was like, oh, wow. This is more like, uh, uh, what the fuck's that band? Uh, white wizard or something, you know? Yeah. And, uh, but I'm like, I dig it. I mean, this was almost my album of the month for April. I really liked it. Has been canceled. Cause they're white. Right. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it's a cool album. If you like, you know, traditional speedy kind of stuff is very clean, high vocals. Um, done well. My last one,

02:35:03.500 --> 02:35:33.340
is a band called Spill Your Guts. And the album is called The Wrath It Takes. It's their first album. They're a Shanghai grind hardcore band. But if you think they're Asian in any way, they're not. They're a bunch of white dudes from Shanghai. So I don't know if this is like a ghost bath kind of situation or what. But it's like four white dudes from Shanghai, supposedly. But it's like grindy, hardcore, vocal-y kind of thing. Well, if you know they're white guys,

02:35:33.360 --> 02:36:01.020
then that's not one of those situations that I guess. I don't know. The picture is like four white dudes. So I'm like, I don't know. But it says they're from. There's a new band out. They're called just O. But it's spelled O-U. And they're from China. And the drummer's white. But he speaks fluent. I don't know if it's Mandarin Cantonese. I was watching an interview. I was like, I don't know what this guy's saying. Well, I mean, I've seen the Fast and the Furious. I know white guys end up in Asia.

02:36:01.420 --> 02:36:30.800
But from Shanghai to have four white dudes in one band just seems kind of odd to me. So it's like all the white dudes in Shanghai were like, hey, let's form a grindcore band. Considering there's a billion people that live in that country. I know. I'm just maybe I'm just saying I don't know. But either way, I liked it enough. Anomaly. I liked it. Fucking Switzerland. And here it is, because I wanted to tell you about it.

02:36:30.880 --> 02:36:39.420
So who cares? The music is good. All right. Let's move on to our top five.

02:37:03.600 --> 02:37:30.820
This time we are doing one album wonders, which means a band that put out one album. Maybe they had a demo, maybe there was an EP in there somewhere, but they only had one full length album. And that's, that's all we've got from them. All right. So, you know how it goes, Justin? What's your number five? All right. Yeah. So the preface is like none of mine are like,

02:37:30.880 --> 02:37:59.660
Like, I was in love with them when they came out, and I was sad that they had. Most of them I looked up, and I realized that these were albums that at one point or another I'd listened to, and I'm like, wow, this is pretty good. I dig this, you know what I mean? But obviously nothing happened from it. I guess I'll do number five. I'm going to switch it up because we already talked about it a little bit, which is Demolick, Nets Fight. I put that on there.

02:37:59.860 --> 02:38:00.660
Sorry to shit on that.

02:38:01.979 --> 02:38:30.720
No, it's cool. Like I said, like I'm not like super, I'm not like super passionate about like them. I understand why people, you know, would have issues with some of their sounds and stuff, but yeah, it's really super tight and I can see why people like kind of lose their shit over that if you did kind of land on that early on and, you know, grew with it and stuff like that. So definitely one of those bands that I know I've heard people talk about who are their bass and just like, we don't really want to be

02:38:30.760 --> 02:39:00.360
make another record for people to compare it to. So they're just like basically just doing the same thing over and over again, which I guess is kind of cool too. You know, if people want to hear it. So yeah, that's my number five. All right. And Markisan. Yeah. So this is my top five and I actually love all the items on my list. So my, my number five is winter into darkness. Oh yeah. Future shock records from 1990. Just really super heavy.

02:39:00.740 --> 02:39:30.680
Earth-freezing death doom has a gloomy, cold, it's brutal fucking drudgery. I can definitely hear the influence of Celtic Frost on this. Nuclear Blast actually released a CD in 1992 and then later did like a DigiPack where it had Into Darkness and then like an EP of like bonus tracks they had done that they unearthed later. But that's all we ever got.

02:39:31.419 --> 02:39:32.220
from winter.

02:39:33.260 --> 02:39:35.560
So I love me some doom and this is

02:39:36.320 --> 02:39:37.260
one of my favorites.

02:39:37.900 --> 02:39:38.420
Good pick.

02:39:40.180 --> 02:39:40.620
All right.

02:39:40.820 --> 02:39:41.220
Thanks, George.

02:39:41.520 --> 02:39:41.580
Yeah.

02:39:41.780 --> 02:39:42.660
No, no, I dig that one.

02:39:43.060 --> 02:39:44.120
I forgot about that one.

02:39:44.200 --> 02:39:44.880
Yeah, that's a good one.

02:39:45.100 --> 02:39:45.240
Yeah.

02:39:45.920 --> 02:39:46.140
Matt.

02:39:47.360 --> 02:39:49.720
Was it Thursday we talked about this the most?

02:39:49.780 --> 02:39:51.940
Because I was so stressed out.

02:39:52.720 --> 02:39:54.100
Everyone is like, we can't do this.

02:39:54.340 --> 02:39:54.880
Well, not John.

02:39:55.060 --> 02:39:56.280
John's like, I got like 500.

02:39:56.520 --> 02:39:58.900
I have like a million honorable mentions.

02:39:59.880 --> 02:40:26.740
You usually send the script out on a Wednesday. And clearly I didn't read through it as close as I should have. And I'm like, oh yeah, top five one hit wonder or like one hit album bands. Fuck. And I totally stressed. But I rallied. I got what I need. My number five is something from my way, way back youth, probably even before I even got into metal. So like five years ago? Yeah. Maybe six.

02:40:29.900 --> 02:40:59.580
Salty Dog. Every dog has its day. What? Wow. What is that? I haven't heard that name. That is a name I haven't heard for a very long time. I would say even before I got into my house. Wow. All right. Gian. So for my five albums, four of them are all grouped right around the same time. They're all released within two years of each other.

02:40:59.900 --> 02:41:29.740
a year of each other. And this one's a new album. It's from 2016. I am positive this band will never come back with another album, unfortunately. And my number five is Trees of Eternity Hour of the Nightingale, which is a kind of a atmospheric, doomy, ethereal band. If you don't know who they are, it's the main writer from Swallow the Sun, and it was his partner. I can't remember what she was in originally, but her name is Aaliyah.

02:41:30.439 --> 02:41:59.840
My lights turned down here and I can't see anymore. Stanbridge, I think is her name. She passed away before the album was released. And this apps, if you know anything about Swallow the Sun, it seems like it absolutely devastated him because he, I don't think he's toured with Swallow the Sun much since then. Yeah. He certainly wasn't at the show that, that George and I and Will saw when they, these two tours collided in DC X number of years ago. But anyway, it's a really good album and it's kind of a bummer because one, because she passed, but two,

02:41:59.900 --> 02:42:28.660
I think there was a lot of potential for them to do some great stuff. There was the rest of the band was made up of former members of Catatonia, Winter Sun, and what was the other band here? I can't read it because I can't see. Nightwish. So, you know, famous bands. It was a super group. Yeah, this was one of the ones that I knew was going to be on your list. Yeah, it's a really good album. I listened to it again too. I was like, gosh, that album is so fucking good. That's a great one. That's a very good album.

02:42:29.900 --> 02:42:59.580
and make an appearance, but that's a great pick. I was going through my list of going through all my albums, and I was like, oh, this is definitely going to be on John's list. There's one more, one more that I'm guessing, but we'll see. Well, yeah, everyone knows probably what one of mine is, but you may not think that I got the other three, so. Yeah. All right, Will. It has to be said, somebody's got to do it. Catechonic Society. They have one album, Baptiste,

02:43:02.080 --> 02:43:29.860
I don't know how you pronounce it. Our very own Jay. When I saw this on the script about, I don't know, like half an hour ago, I was like, this has to be on the script. Somebody has to say. Technically, it's their second album, but I'm not going to call you on it. I think maybe it might have been an EP or something. I don't know. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Fuck it. That's my pick. Okay. My number five is

02:43:29.880 --> 02:43:59.860
is, I think, an obvious one. It's got to be one that Marcus Sun guessed this week, I was going to say, which is Hellhammer, Apocalyptic Rates. To be fair, a band that did go on to just change their name and a couple of small things about themselves and become Celtic Frost. The fact still remains, there's only one Hellhammer record. And it probably doesn't get mentioned often enough as a genre launching album. And I love it. I like Hellhammer. I think

02:43:59.880 --> 02:44:27.860
I'm really looking forward to seeing it MDF. It's my single I'm looking forward to. Definitely. I knew that one. I can't wait to hear what the other one was. All right. My number five is a band called Cerebral Bore and their lone album, Maniacal Miscreation. They were a brutal death metal band from Scotland. This came out in 2010.

02:44:29.080 --> 02:44:57.960
The Singer left. They tried. They got another singer. They tried to get some shit together, but nothing has come since. So I'm calling this dead. Wow. Never heard of that one, George. I forgot about that. I forgot about that one. Yeah, that's a great album. Yeah. All right. Justin, number four. Back to me. Oh, shit. All right. I'm going to number four is going to be. All right. They're called.

02:44:59.060 --> 02:45:28.860
Jazz Modena and the records Inferno. So, all right. So I stumbled upon this. I don't remember how. It was one of like my deep dive things. And it's actually the now ex-singer Angela from Ark Enemy, her original band. Okay. That's why it sounds familiar. I think they had like a bad label deal. They switched their name. But then before they came out with something, she got picked. I think from timeline wise,

02:45:28.940 --> 02:45:31.280
It's like right before they like

02:45:32.980 --> 02:45:34.820
released anything new under like a different name

02:45:35.280 --> 02:45:36.920
I think that's when she got picked up by

02:45:37.120 --> 02:45:37.920
Arcanemy I'm pretty sure

02:45:40.080 --> 02:45:41.140
And it's really

02:45:41.860 --> 02:45:43.080
solid death metal

02:45:43.360 --> 02:45:45.360
The first couple tracks like are a little

02:45:45.460 --> 02:45:47.460
clunky like there's not really that much to

02:45:47.580 --> 02:45:49.500
them but later on it gets like really

02:45:49.740 --> 02:45:51.520
good it gets like really groovy it's got

02:45:51.720 --> 02:45:53.600
some it's got some

02:45:53.760 --> 02:45:55.580
like gothy moments thrown

02:45:55.650 --> 02:45:57.660
in there too which kind of breaks it up a little

02:45:58.219 --> 02:46:27.200
And she's really efficient in the death metal vocals. It's really cool. I was surprised by it. I think the only reason why I went to it was because I wanted to see a reference point of how she sang in Arch Enemy to how she sang there. I like the difference. And I ended up liking the record and I've spawned a whole bunch. Nice. Cool. Yeah, I didn't know about that one. Very cool. All right.

02:46:27.680 --> 02:46:56.860
Mark's on. I like this because everybody's got different picks. Yeah. So I was a little worried maybe you might have the same ones, but it looks like we might not. Not going to happen. Not for mine anyway. All right. So my number four is from 2009. It's Shrine Builder. Self-titled Neurot Recordings. It's a super group that had members of Melvin's, Neurosis, Sleep, something else I'm forgetting.

02:46:57.660 --> 02:47:27.560
Just lots of really monolithic stoner riffs on this. Um, with a thick buzz of fog atmosphere that I just love on that. Um, I love the cover of it. And, um, I actually hadn't listened to this one in a really long time. And maybe like last year I put it on again. So, um, it's one of those albums. I think it's slow build. When I decided on this topic to put it in the list, it's kind of slow.

02:47:27.660 --> 02:47:56.980
building because I would notice that I had these albums and I was like, oh, I got to see what else they've done. And then there was nothing else. And then I would look to see what members of the bands had done after it. So, yeah, I love Shrine Builder. I wish they would have continued because that was a pretty strong one. But it's always nice when you get that super group and they do that kind of one album, you know, and they go off and do their own things and then it becomes, it's almost like a mythic status. Well, I guess these are all like cult status, really.

02:47:59.101 --> 02:48:26.620
Yeah, shrine builder. Yeah, no, I didn't realize they only had one. But yeah, I remember that one. Cool. Matt? I probably should have prefaced this on my number five pick, but aside from my number one, everything was the system, including my number four, Eric Rutan, prior to Cannibal Corpse, prior to Heat Eternal, Ripping Corpse. Oh, yeah. Excuse me. Dreaming with the dead.

02:48:27.040 --> 02:48:56.620
That's a good pick. I didn't think about that. I would guess it would be on yours, Justin, actually. Yeah, I think it's just, again, I love everything he does, and Ripping Corps is great. Again, it goes into that little on the thrashier end for me. It was almost like in that proto-death realm, you know what I mean? They were just kind of right starting out with everyone else. But I totally dig it. It's totally great.

02:48:59.639 --> 02:49:01.000
All right, John.

02:49:01.480 --> 02:49:03.580
I want a new fucking Haiti eternal album already.

02:49:03.760 --> 02:49:04.220
God damn it.

02:49:04.380 --> 02:49:04.700
For hell.

02:49:04.840 --> 02:49:04.960
Yeah.

02:49:06.060 --> 02:49:07.040
Cannibal corpse bullshit.

02:49:07.420 --> 02:49:07.600
Yeah.

02:49:08.460 --> 02:49:08.940
Fucking.

02:49:09.640 --> 02:49:09.760
Don't.

02:49:10.160 --> 02:49:10.500
You're lucky.

02:49:10.600 --> 02:49:11.140
Will's not there.

02:49:12.020 --> 02:49:12.320
I know.

02:49:14.160 --> 02:49:14.280
John.

02:49:15.220 --> 02:49:17.860
Looks like there's a new grumpy metal heads podcast member.

02:49:18.240 --> 02:49:18.580
Yeah.

02:49:20.660 --> 02:49:22.000
My number four.

02:49:24.160 --> 02:49:53.320
is a band that has absolute cult status in their subgenre. And we're lucky that they actually got an album released because I don't think they wanted to release an album. And it's not Time Ghoul, who is also a very cult-like status band. It's got two demos, I guess, or two EPs. But this album ended up probably is considered maybe the greatest American black metal album ever. Yeah, okay.

02:49:53.400 --> 02:50:23.080
I know a lot of your list. Yeah. And it's weakling. Yep. Dead as dreams. I need better light in this room from 2000. And fortunately the album got released, even though I don't think they really wanted to release it. But they kind of remind me of their trajectory like time ghoul. Although I think weakling probably has more standing because time ghoul kind of just put out these demos and it kind of disappeared. They actually,

02:50:23.100 --> 02:50:53.060
Weakling Plain for a while. But just unreal how good it is. And I really wish it sounded better because it's just so good. Yeah. Well, I mean, they haven't re-released it so long. Like, it's hard to get. It would be nice if they remastered it. Just, I don't know. Well, yeah, because Aquarius doesn't exist anymore. Well, Aquarius with the rights, though. Well, yeah, it's Aquarius. Yeah, because they formed their own sub-label, didn't they? I think that's what it was.

02:50:53.100 --> 02:51:20.600
was to release it. It was Tumult Records. Yeah. I think. So. All right. I felt like that was going to come up. So. All right. Will. I figured it would from someone. My number four, probably a band no one's heard of, Dominance. They're a Philly-based thrash band, really big in the late 80s, early 90s. I feel like they opened up almost every single show at the Trocadero in Philadelphia.

02:51:27.181 --> 02:51:28.640
They were great.

02:51:30.070 --> 02:51:32.340
They kind of put out a bunch of little demos.

02:51:32.530 --> 02:51:38.820
And then in 2009, 20 years after they kind of stopped being around,

02:51:39.200 --> 02:51:43.440
they released a compilation of all their demos into one album.

02:51:43.680 --> 02:51:50.000
But it's a shame because they're super talented, super great, super energetic.

02:51:50.190 --> 02:51:51.760
Saw them a million times, loved it.

02:51:52.520 --> 02:52:21.880
But they really only put out one album ever. That was it. Nice. Dominance from Philly. All right. Nice. My number four is a band that is, I believe, still around. But I maybe not now. Maybe COVID wiped them out. But I know George liked this release as well. It's a band called Cretus. Yes. I knew you were going to say this. I love this record, man. It's so good. Ducks Mia Lux or Dukes Mia Lux.

02:52:22.500 --> 02:52:52.480
This kind of phony, ghosty, sort of culty band. Yeah. Kind of purposely try to make themselves look like a cult, but tongue in cheek. Obviously, they're not serious or anything like that. I don't think it's quite a new way of British heavy metal, but it's something like that. But super catchy, really killer riffs. I like the singer's voice and listen to that record a lot when it came out. I just really wish they'd make a second record and I suspect they're not going to. No. So, but I highly recommend it. All right. My number four is a band called

02:52:52.540 --> 02:53:22.260
The King of the Crow. And their album is called Hyboria. They were a, they were in LA death, doom band, more on the death, less on the doom. They put out one album in 2007 that just fucking blew my mind. I love this album. I still listen to this album. And, uh, I don't know anyone that has ever heard of this band. Um, I mean, excluding anybody that might be on the podcast and might've heard me talk about it before, but.

02:53:23.140 --> 02:53:49.940
Yeah. So. Nice. What is it called, George? Keen. K-E-E-N of the Crow. It's on Bandcamp. All right. I listened to it. I had no idea. Yeah, it sounds like something I might be into for sure. Yeah, you might. You might, Rabbit. You might. And back to Justin for number three. All right. My number three is.

02:53:54.000 --> 02:54:22.480
Grand Supreme Blood Court bowed down before the Blood Court. If you have not heard it, it's a... I don't really know the backstory completely behind it, but essentially it's Martin Van Drunen from Asphyx. And it's basically, if you like Asphyx, you'd like this record. It's... Hail of Bullets. Yeah, it's all that same. Yeah, because it's very... I feel like all those bands, you have kind of...

02:54:22.520 --> 02:54:51.660
The vibe is very similar. So if you like that, you like this, I just kind of came across it. And yeah, it's got really good hooks in it. And it sounds like him. It's classic him. So if you're into that, then I suggest checking it out because it's pretty cool. Sweet. All right. Markisan, number three. Yeah, my number three. I just spun this on vinyl last week.

02:54:52.540 --> 02:55:21.860
"Disembowelment: Transcendence into the Perforo" on the Relapse Records, 1993. For me, it's just one of the greatest Death Tomb records ever. It's full of slow, crushing evil, ambient echo caverns that make you feel like you're being dragged through a subterranean nightmare. Just an amazing record. I've played this one a lot. I'm kind of curious.

02:55:22.500 --> 02:55:50.800
I wonder what records I've played the most in my life. I don't know what the answer is, of course, because that would be hard to calculate, but I know that I've played Disembolment quite a bit. And I feel like it's a very influential record, too. So that's my number three. All right. All right. My number three. When we started the chat about what, excuse me, our top five was,

02:55:52.920 --> 02:56:21.960
I've got my five plus a couple others. Jay, I know for sure too that we'll be on your list. And then we had a few other comments about, excuse me, about it. And I thought. I know, I totally have a pick. But like, I came completely focused on which two would be on Jay's, excuse me, list. But then George, you threw me a bow on that one.

02:56:22.520 --> 02:56:48.060
I'm going to throw you a bone at MDF. You are. But you sent it to me at like nine, excuse me, in the morning. And it was probably like eight o'clock at night where I was like, George, I finally got what it is. Yeah. And so just because of that, I had to add it to my list. Excuse me, my list. And that is heaven and hell. The devil, you know, the devil, you know, in this case, the devil, he didn't know until about eight o'clock.

02:56:52.500 --> 02:57:21.380
Right on. Matt is sponsored by Tavor. Thank you very much. That's actually, I didn't even think about that one. That's a phenomenal pick, heaven hell. Yeah. It technically was its own band and that album was awesome. Yep. Only because of Sharon Osbourne. That's the only reason why it wasn't Black Sabbath. Yeah. George, can I read what you wrote to me? Because it was really good. Sure, sure. Think of a band named after an album,

02:57:22.520 --> 02:57:49.820
a song that only had one album, one studio album, that this particular band's album is not named after the band. Literally, like, I'm trying to, I'm trying to work, but people are talking to me. I'm like, do you know what this means? Myself, George's riddle. The riddle of steel. A band named after an album named after a song whose album is not named after the band.

02:57:54.620 --> 02:58:19.260
And you got it. He did. And as I told him, later in that day, probably four o'clock or so, I was driving in the car and heaven and hell came on the radio. I almost took a picture and sent it to him. It was fate. Fabulous. Fabulous. All right. John. My number three.

02:58:22.520 --> 02:58:52.480
the main person this band wanted to go this would have actually been the second album from this band but as it ends up that the potential first album ended up falling under the old band's name and i'm surprised we haven't heard it yet maybe we will hear it again but my number three is control denied the fragile art of existence yeah 1999 which technically should have been their second album because the first album should have been the sound of sound of perseverance

02:58:52.520 --> 02:59:21.120
But I guess Chuck was pushed to put down under the death label. But he didn't want to really do that, as I understand it. So this one ends up being the only one, sadly. And really cool direction he was heading in. It would have been kind of nice if he had both bands to do both things. That was Ralph from Promo Fear, right? I think so. Yeah. This is one I knew would be on John's list. Yeah, I knew this would. Well, I thought I considered it myself.

02:59:21.560 --> 02:59:51.540
It's not on my list, but yes, I did. I did go. Hmm. Yeah. All right. Another one. Well, no, I come back. Oh, no. Right. Picking all these bands where the lead person is gone. John G is morbid. It's fucked up, man. Fucked up. All right. Will. My next three are probably pretty obscure for the rest of everybody, except for my number one. But

02:59:51.560 --> 03:00:20.180
So you're next to it. My number three is Vulgari, which is a sludge doom, like dirty, dirty, sludgy stuff led by a guy we all know, Todd Hogg. Really? He had a band? Yeah. Yeah. But it was in Power Mad, though. This is like a complete opposite direction of Power Mad. It's not Power Metal. I didn't even know he was in Power Mad. I guess I should have known that.

03:00:20.740 --> 03:00:49.660
Who did you think you played guitar in? I don't know. Have you heard of? Anyway. Anyway. Anyway, Vulgari. It was like a one-off project that he and a bunch of other guys did. It is, you spell it V-U-L-G-A-A-R-E because I think it's like Finnish or Swedish or Norwegian Scandinavian. We'll just say Scandinavian pronunciation or spelling for vulgar.

03:00:50.740 --> 03:01:20.640
But it is awesome. It is unbelievably great awesomeness. And I can't believe that. And when we interviewed Todd for the podcast, I don't know, like three or four years ago, I asked him about this and he's like, no, that's a one-off project. I'm like, I kind of really like it a lot. Okay. That's, that's my number three, Vulgari. Have we had any repeats? No, I was just thinking we've had none yet. Yeah. None. I'm not going to unlikely to have one on my list.

03:01:20.740 --> 03:01:50.360
I like how John and I were both thinking about that. Jay, what's your number three? I wonder, I don't know if anybody else will have this one, but I know you'll all be like, oh yeah. And it's the band I, and the album is Between Two Worlds. That's the Abbott thing. Yeah. It's a, but it's sort of a Norwegian black metal super group. And I was super into this record when it came out and it got some attention and stuff, but then that was just it. You know, it was just good. That was it. I totally forgot about that record. Yeah.

03:01:50.760 --> 03:02:20.300
I forgot about that record. I don't think they did any touring or shows. It was pretty good. Yeah. I remember digging it. I just completely forgot about it. Wow. Well, but it was also this weird bust out. Like all those black metal bands hadn't done anything like this yet. And so they did the super group album where that's, that's kind of not really a black metal record. So it was kind of surprising. It was really cool. Uh, right. Oh, Will is disembodied again. Yeah. So it's like performance art. Yeah.

03:02:20.740 --> 03:02:50.000
It's true. So my number three is a band called Taranis. T-A-R-A-N-I-S. The album is called Kingdom. This was a sort of symphonic folk black metal band from Hungary. This came out in 2012. It was a one-dude project. He broke up with himself apparently because the band broke up even though he was the band.

03:02:52.659 --> 03:03:19.980
And I remember the first time I listened to this, I was on the beach, like probably Eastern Shore kind of thing. And, you know, this was one of the albums I brought to the beach to listen to. And it just like blew my mind. And it is a really cool album. I believe this is also on Bandcamp. You should check it out. It is really good stuff. Nice, George. You're just pulling stuff from the depths. I am. I am. Nice.

03:03:20.200 --> 03:03:49.560
I expected no last, George. That's right. The podfather listens to things that nobody knows. Yeah. Making recommendations of bands no one's heard of again. That's right. Well, people will know that my next one, but all right, Justin, number two. All right. My number two is, all right. So I guess this is kind of, I don't know if it's like full on like metal category. I think it might be metal adjacent slightly.

03:03:50.180 --> 03:04:20.160
We do that. It's the dude from Acid Bath. It's Agents of Oblivion. Yeah, yeah. Name of the group. And that's self-titled. What's his name? Yeah, I can't think of his name off the top of my head. Because he does solo stuff under his own name, too. Yeah, and I was listening to Acid Bath. I don't know. Earlier this year, I was just listening to When the Kite String Pops. I do like that record. I do fuck what the

03:04:20.180 --> 03:04:23.400
Sludge stuff. I'm a big crowbar guy and all that kind of shit.

03:04:24.300 --> 03:04:33.180
Anyways, I was listening to it and it was just one of those things the album I did and they just put on an auto mix of relatable music when you're listening.

03:04:34.440 --> 03:04:41.820
And that popped on and there are a couple songs on there that are like, I could not get out of my fucking head for weeks.

03:04:42.400 --> 03:04:47.380
I was like an insane person just listening to the same song over and over again.

03:04:47.420 --> 03:05:14.560
So there's a few of those tracks on there. End of the World, I think, is one of the ones. That's the one that kind of hooked me in really bad. And the album's pretty good. I mean, it's not perfect. There's some things just like, can you cut that shit out? But for the most part, it's a really good record. And it speaks to that grungy era of me coming up, for sure. But I feel like that's what kind of Sludge does.

03:05:17.460 --> 03:05:20.320
But it's a little bit more pushed into the

03:05:21.520 --> 03:05:23.200
I guess rockier alt

03:05:24.160 --> 03:05:24.960
side of it

03:05:25.420 --> 03:05:26.960
Yeah I've got that on CD

03:05:28.060 --> 03:05:28.720
Oh really?

03:05:28.880 --> 03:05:30.640
And it's Dax Riggs by the way

03:05:31.660 --> 03:05:31.780
Yes

03:05:32.650 --> 03:05:34.600
And Hangman's Daughter that's the other one

03:05:34.840 --> 03:05:36.280
Those two songs

03:05:37.160 --> 03:05:39.800
I fucking must have listened to a billion times

03:05:39.960 --> 03:05:41.640
in like a span of like three months

03:05:42.580 --> 03:05:42.840
Yeah

03:05:43.961 --> 03:05:45.420
I remember when that came out

03:05:45.420 --> 03:05:47.400
I was like dude it's a guy from Asapath

03:05:49.080 --> 03:06:16.820
So yeah, bought that right away. She's made me think of Sam Kennison there for a second. He just yelled something. I get that. All right, Markisan number two. Yeah, so number two for me, I love this record and it is Mare, self-titled on Hydra Head Records from 2004. It's a killer.

03:06:17.400 --> 03:06:46.860
composite of sludge metal, math rock, classic prog with just weird time signatures in it and Gregorian chants. Somehow all of that merges together into just a killer, phenomenal record that was just way ahead of its time. Is that like M-A-R-E? Yep. Okay. Yep. Yep. It's on Bandcamp. It's on Bandcamp. It's great. They call it an EP, but it's basically full length. Just like Will. Yeah. Yeah.

03:06:48.140 --> 03:07:15.780
It's one I definitely revisit a ton. And I got it on vinyl. They've released it a couple times over the years on vinyl. And I don't even know if the band members have gone on to do anything else. It just seems like all their careers just kind of in limbo. But killer record. Awesome. I'll look that up. Matt A. Alrighty. So as I had the Thunderdome for last month,

03:07:17.420 --> 03:07:47.380
Excuse me. My origin. You gotta get rid of that shit, man. I can't. It's really funny. It's gonna be in the episode description. All right. We'll show it to him. You'll scare him. Bitch ups. Show him it. Yeah. And he'll scare him and it'll stop. Oh, my God. Oh, no. No, no, no. So close. So in picking

03:07:47.420 --> 03:08:17.380
the Thunderdome bands for last month. Kind of death was my center of that. And one of the bands that was part of that was Repulsion. So I had no idea they only had one album. So number two is Repulsion. Horrified. Awesome. Good choice. Yeah. Definitely. My buddy Chris is now weirdly playing drums in Repulsion. Yeah. In case, you know, when they go out and actually

03:08:17.420 --> 03:08:45.540
I think they were at the last decibel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chris, Chris Moore. He does a lot of sound at Atlas set up the whole sound system at Atlas and a phenomenal drummer. In fact, his band Contusion is playing probably right now. Wow. Anyway. All right. John. Before we go any further, Matt, I really wish we had the Snuggie countdown going on right now because you need it.

03:08:47.420 --> 03:09:16.300
I've got one behind me. I'm on the middle of my house, so it's a little bit warmer. I don't know if anyone's, and nobody could see this, but I don't know if any of us have noticed while looking that his light has slowly dimmed as the podcast has gone on. I just can't believe he's had hiccups for like a half an hour. I know. He's going to throw up soon. It's insane. No one does that. How does that happen? Yeah. All right. Someone else besides me this time. Yeah.

03:09:17.420 --> 03:09:47.160
So my number two, I'm pretty sure nobody's going to have, and I don't even know if any of you guys have heard of this band, but way back in the early days of the internet in the 90s, I'm sure we all scoured for music when we realized there's music on the internet. I can find things. And I found this demo of this band. They're from the Bay Area. And it was prog metal. It followed in the vein of early dream theater. And I was like all on board. I was like,

03:09:47.420 --> 03:10:17.220
It's awesome. And then I heard they're releasing an album. So I jumped on board right away. Absolutely still love this album to this day. And that was it. Done. Never heard from him again. Although the keyboardist has been very active in music. But the band is Dolly's Dilemma and the album is Manifesto for Futurism. Oh, yeah. Never heard of that, John. Yeah. It's a kind of a cult. It is. It's definitely. Well, that's no more than.

03:10:17.400 --> 03:10:19.260
Everyone else has come out

03:10:47.420 --> 03:11:15.580
Yeah, I've got 13 honorables, I think. It'd be fun to just run them all off real quick. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I even have some rock and roll ones because they're just great one-offs. Rock and roll. Rock and roll. All right. Will. Hi. I'm here for the game bang. You have arrived. It's already happened. You've come to the right place.

03:11:17.420 --> 03:11:47.380
on this guy or right you know whichever one's the correct one i don't know um swipe up yeah so just swipe oh let me swipe up on all you fuckers so my number two is pyres year of sleep uh total crickets you guys probably never heard of this band but uh it's kind of a do me atmospheric sludgy sort of thing going on

03:11:47.400 --> 03:12:17.360
I absolutely fell in love with this album I still listen to it often it's from 2013 I think that if I'm if I'm correct I think that the band they're from Vermont I think that they said they're going to try to put out another album soon like guys it's been nearly 10 years it's been nine years like where have you been and anyway Pyres you're asleep it's amazing album

03:12:17.380 --> 03:12:45.240
It's on Bandcamp. Check it out. I've heard of this. No, I know this one. Yeah. I think you've talked about it before. Yeah. I'm sure I've talked about it before because I love this album a lot. Yeah. All right, Jay, over to you. My number two is a band that I wonder if you guys know about. And this came out in 95. It was right when I was kind of getting into Opeth and some of the black metal and stuff that was going around at that time. I know Opeth's not a black metal band.

03:12:47.380 --> 03:13:17.360
mixed genres a little bit and there was a band called storm that had one album yeah yeah wasn't wasn't uh satyr part of that it's it's a bit of a super group and i don't even remember well the singer from third and the mortal i think was on there and it's all yeah that's right that's correct and it's all um norwegian folk songs and um and it was the first time i'd really heard stuff like that i'm sure i'm trying to remember john what

03:13:17.360 --> 03:13:47.340
Slave Devon would have been out in 95. Or how about late. That's the debut. The debut came out in 94, I think, didn't it? So there you go. So I suggest you check out Storm Nord event because this was a band that turned me on to the possibilities of blending folk music and black metal way back in 1995. Yeah. And they made one record and that was it. Yeah, I remember that. My number two is a band that both

03:13:47.420 --> 03:14:17.120
Will and John will know at the very least. They've been on the podcast. Yesterday's Saints. Generation of Vipers, DC Thrash Death Band. This came out in 2015. And the band is no more. Oh, shit. Yeah. That's a good pick. Yeah. That's your 1B to go with your 1A. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. No, they're, they're,

03:14:17.380 --> 03:14:47.140
We're totally done. Because I had a couple months ago, I had beers with Matt, the lead singer yesterday, Saints, and with Huron, who's the lead guitar player in Battlecross. And shit, it's blanking on the... Is he doing something new? Well, if you remember, was it last year? He was in a death metal band. It was on my list. Matt or the other guy? No, Huron.

03:14:47.360 --> 03:14:48.780
I'm talking about Matt.

03:14:49.940 --> 03:14:51.960
No, they're done. Yesterday's instance is done.

03:14:52.060 --> 03:14:54.480
No, I know that. I just wondered if he was doing anything new.

03:14:54.940 --> 03:14:57.380
No, no, he's not. He's selling real estate.

03:14:57.660 --> 03:14:57.920
Yeah, I know.

03:14:58.380 --> 03:14:58.740
Yeah.

03:15:00.660 --> 03:15:00.900
Yeah.

03:15:02.860 --> 03:15:02.980
Yeah.

03:15:03.230 --> 03:15:08.520
I mean, the last time I talked to him a couple months ago, it was like probably six months ago, probably at this point.

03:15:09.779 --> 03:15:11.400
Yeah, he's still interested in music.

03:15:12.020 --> 03:15:13.680
It's more like it just has to fit.

03:15:13.800 --> 03:15:14.840
He's got two kids now.

03:15:15.140 --> 03:15:45.040
It's like the, you know, it's almost like this, the very stereotypical thing. Like, wow, you're super talented. X kind of musician, but now you're married to kids. You're, you're, you, you have responsibilities on what's, yeah. You get refocused on what's important. And it's like, ah, you know, yeah. And that was a great album. Oh, it's amazing. I think it was my number one or two, one year. Early years, early years when I was on the podcast. This is before I was like,

03:15:45.820 --> 03:16:14.980
Yeah, this came out after the first, second year of the podcast, this came out. Yeah. And we had Albert and John. John. Yeah. We had Albert and John on in the studio here. And we did have, you did the album release party for this. Yeah. I have, I have a giant poster. Yes. And,

03:16:15.140 --> 03:16:45.080
So we did a recording at that. In fact, that's where I met John. Oh, really? Yes, that is where I met John for the first time. This is an important album. Yes. I made a black culture for that album. Yeah. No, I was there with Barb and this tall, handsome stranger walks up to me and says, are you George from Minow's podcast? And I'm like, you know,

03:16:45.140 --> 03:17:14.920
of me? And he's like, oh, John. And I fell instantly in love with him. And you're talking about Matt? No, I'm talking about John. Why are you taking John's spotlight away? I'm sorry. I didn't know who you're talking about. Me and my brother. No, but I did talk to Matt. Sorry. Yeah, Matt and Witt on that episode as well. So we did get Witt on there before he passed.

03:17:15.140 --> 03:17:44.780
Yeah, rest in peace. The band basically broke up. Well, everyone moved away. John Albert, the drummer, is now in Minneapolis area. Matt moved to LA for a while. I visited him when he was in LA. Now he's got two kids. He's back in the areas in the Leesburg area. And then Whit, he died. Completely fucked up situation. Yeah, but there's a Whit Black Music Foundation.

03:17:44.860 --> 03:18:14.800
now where you can donate guitars and stuff for music education. So that's kind of kind of like bringing guitar to the bar. Yep. That's kind of the motto of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's in it was so full circle. The reason why I got that awesome guitar that I have now is that they had a fundraiser kind of party at Atlas for the Whit Black Music Foundation and Haran and Battlecross flew.

03:18:14.900 --> 03:18:44.840
I flew in from the Detroit area to play. And Haran put up one of his guitars for the auction. And I was the highest bidder. And I got it. The guitar is awesome. I love it. That's awesome. Anyway, Justin Sands, great pick, dude. Oh, yeah. Had to be there. Had to be there. Sounds like it should be on Will's list. It should be. And I completely forgot about it. I'm not changing my list because my number one is

03:18:44.880 --> 03:18:46.580
It's super significant to me.

03:18:46.600 --> 03:18:46.660
Yeah.

03:18:46.980 --> 03:19:06.300
Well, I've got a, I've got a, like, album cover, like the little, like, mini poster thing that they were signing at the, at the release party that has Matt, Witt, and probably Albert on there.

03:19:06.300 --> 03:19:07.320
I think John wasn't there.

03:19:08.140 --> 03:19:09.640
But, yeah, it's hanging in the bar.

03:19:12.600 --> 03:19:13.100
All right.

03:19:14.300 --> 03:19:43.700
Enough drama. Back to Justin for number one. Number one. Number one. All right. I think he was actually brought up earlier. Oh, James Murphy joint. This incarnate. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. Yes. You just super efficient death metal. If you like. Totally. Death and you like James Murphy. I was wondering if that was going to come up.

03:19:44.280 --> 03:20:14.120
It didn't come up before did it? No it's on my honorables though. No uh no uh because James Mercy because I think it was an Ian uh Cancer. That was Cancer yeah. That got brought off that way. Yeah but um yeah so yeah it's just a fucking great ripping album. I love Cancer. Yeah we were talking about like I literally that album uh like Death Shall Rise. Yeah. Yeah I talked about that when we went through all the MDF bands so we're really before that one. I love that album.

03:20:14.280 --> 03:20:44.260
Yeah, me too. I brought that specific album up when we were talking about it. Well, I had no idea until recently that he was on, what was it, Cause of Death, right? Yeah, Obituary. Obituary? I had no idea. But you're saying James Murphy was in cancer, though. Yeah. I didn't know that. I knew he was on Cause of Death. Yeah, that's why he was on Death Shall Rise. It's the best of... It's the best of...

03:20:44.280 --> 03:20:45.140
Who's best?

03:20:45.920 --> 03:20:52.740
The best obituary album.

03:20:52.840 --> 03:20:57.000
Calls of Death is the best obituary album.

03:20:57.420 --> 03:20:57.480
Boom.

03:20:57.500 --> 03:20:57.620
Boom.

03:20:59.060 --> 03:20:59.660
It's the best one.

03:21:00.440 --> 03:21:01.860
Dude, I have surgery on my mouth.

03:21:01.960 --> 03:21:03.500
Like, I have an excuse.

03:21:03.940 --> 03:21:04.500
All right, fair.

03:21:04.980 --> 03:21:05.220
Yeah.

03:21:05.560 --> 03:21:06.020
Oh, yeah.

03:21:06.640 --> 03:21:07.900
Hopefully you can still tell you that.

03:21:08.660 --> 03:21:09.700
Yeah, it's a great record.

03:21:10.080 --> 03:21:13.620
And, you know, I don't know if it gets super overlooked,

03:21:13.700 --> 03:21:43.680
but it definitely... It's on a few lists. You know, for things. Someone's radar should be, for sure. Yeah. I totally dug it. Are we, like, circling back for, like, honorables, or should I do that now? We'll circle back. Circle back? Okay. Oh, yeah. Actually, I don't know. How do you want to do it? You want to do them now, or after our ones, or... We gotta do them after, because he might mention an honorables. Yeah, you might mention someone. Fair enough. All right, fair enough. All right, mark us on. Yeah. Although I do have the

03:21:43.700 --> 03:22:13.680
first double on the list. John mentioned it earlier. And I mentioned too that I thought I was going to be on Jay's list. And it is Weakling, Dead is Dreams, my number one. Tell about records. I came up with this list because I was listening to this specific record. You know, just awesome, progressive black metal masterpiece, really tense, dark, epic. And even though Weakling put out just this one record, I have followed

03:22:13.740 --> 03:22:42.900
John Gossard, who's the guitarist and the vocalist on Weakling, because he went on to form Asunder, which I've talked about on this podcast a few times. And I love Asunder. Asunder is probably my favorite tune band. And what I also found out, because I was like, I got to look up Weakling a little bit more because I love the album, but I don't know that much about it. So fun fact, the title of the album, Dead is Dreams, actually comes from a line in the movie Legend, which was that like,

03:22:44.319 --> 03:23:13.160
1980s movie with Tom Cruise in a metal skirt. Who was the Tim Curry? It was Tim Curry, right? Yeah, he was the darkness in it. Yeah, right. And that movie was the original inspiration for my comic book by the horns. Oh, because in that in that movie, Tim Curry wants the unicorn horns to plunge the world into darkness, but he never does anything with the horns. So I thought I could do that better. Like,

03:23:13.520 --> 03:23:42.060
If these horns are that powerful, what could you actually do with them? Tim Curry had no plan, so I had to create one. So, yeah, I love John Gossard. He's in a bunch of different bands now, but Weakling is just one of the best. I really wish they would repress this thing. Like John said, it doesn't sound that great. I want him to remaster it. I want it on vinyl, and it's just impossible to find out. So somebody needs to get this done. It's phenomenal.

03:23:42.400 --> 03:24:07.640
There's a lot of black metal albums from the era that sound a lot worse. That's true. That is true. I mean, I know I checked out Wakeling before, and I think, as me, is not as much into the black metal realm. A remaster sometimes really does a lot for me. You know what I mean? So that would be really cool, because I totally see it. It's an awesome record. I've listened to it a few days.

03:24:07.640 --> 03:24:36.580
It's one of the few American black metal albums that people put up there with the top of some of the greatest European black metal albums. It's right up there. I totally see it. I totally see it. I think a production boost would be awesome. It changed people's mind about U.S. black metal. That's how good it was because people just thought U.S. black metal was a joke. So it's just phenomenal and just really influential and just really still stands as one of the best.

03:24:36.700 --> 03:25:04.420
That's not a category. Definitely. All right. Matt. Number one. As mentioned previously, it was the only one I was able to come to my own. Control denied the fragile art of existence. Another double. Double trouble. I don't know if I've ever even heard that album. What? I know. Well, it's not really your style.

03:25:06.680 --> 03:25:36.140
But it is Chuck. Yes, Chuck. It's a more progier Chuck. Yeah. He doesn't even say on it well. Just plays his guitar. Yep. I think I have that on vinyl. I do too. Yeah. I have everything Chuck did on vinyl. Chuck. I actually don't have control tonight. Definitely. It's like my first honorable mention though.

03:25:36.700 --> 03:26:05.520
Don't deny yourself. Lose control, man. I like that you denied your hiccups because they're gone. Finally. I just keep thinking of Howard Stern because Richard Christie's in the... Yeah. Totally. Hey, Dad. My favorite. All right, John. This was an obvious one for me. It was always going to be number one.

03:26:06.700 --> 03:26:36.500
It's just been a million times with the podcast. Spiral Architect, a Skeptics Universe 2000. I thought that. I knew it. Yeah, it crossed my mind. He shared that album with me because we talked about, you know, some some prog metal stuff. And he's like, yeah, check out Spiral Architect. I had never heard of Spiral Architect before John. Yeah. So I think it was last year. Right, John? So and they weren't quite for me because now the band went on and they did a different. They have a new band.

03:26:36.680 --> 03:27:05.800
that John really likes that I like more than Spiral Architect. Spiral Architect is all over the place for me. It's dense. Yeah. It's angular and metal meets fusion times a thousand. Where is it in your favorite albums of all time, John? It must be up there, right? I don't know. I mean, it was my album of the year for 2000, I think, wasn't it?

03:27:06.700 --> 03:27:08.400
50 or 50 years.

03:27:10.800 --> 03:27:13.460
I don't know if I was forced to come up with 100,

03:27:14.320 --> 03:27:17.060
given the, what, thousands we all listened to.

03:27:17.320 --> 03:27:18.040
It'd probably be in there.

03:27:18.210 --> 03:27:18.980
I don't know where to go.

03:27:19.240 --> 03:27:19.340
Yeah.

03:27:20.000 --> 03:27:20.400
I'm not sure.

03:27:20.660 --> 03:27:21.040
I'd have to go.

03:27:22.180 --> 03:27:24.740
I struggle listening to it, too, because it is just so,

03:27:25.160 --> 03:27:26.340
there's so much going on.

03:27:27.320 --> 03:27:30.260
It's amazing, but yeah, it's just, it's crazy, really.

03:27:30.900 --> 03:27:32.180
Yeah, it's crazy to see them break.

03:27:32.200 --> 03:27:32.320
Crazy.

03:27:33.660 --> 03:27:34.820
That's how it goes.

03:27:36.820 --> 03:28:04.840
Millions of people not listening to that album. Sorry. At least they've gone on to do other projects. Well, they're all in other bands already. Yeah. So they were, it was kind of a Norwegian super group kind of thing that got together. So that's my number one. Right on. Will. My number one is Eerie.

03:28:05.100 --> 03:28:34.500
self-titled. This is my number one album of the year, I don't know, four or five years ago. It's kind of progressive, black, metal, I don't know, it's all over the place, but I have it on vinyl. It is awesome. It is, it actually made Decibles list that year, whatever year that was, it made Decibles list, but it was like way down the list.

03:28:35.040 --> 03:29:04.740
But this is just a brilliant album. They have not put out anything since then. And it's kind of disappointing. They could come back. Kind of disappointing. It's really fucking disappointing. Yeah. So yeah. What's the album called? Self-titled. Self-titled, yeah. It's amazing. It's an amazing album. You are so, you didn't stop talking about that when it came out. When it came out, it just is, you know, every now and again, like everyone has one of those albums that just hooks you in.

03:29:05.040 --> 03:29:35.000
And the rest of everyone else is like, huh? I don't get it. I don't know. Whatever. For whatever reason, this is one of those albums that just hook me in. This is my album of the year. And then we all have that experience. That'll be my number one. Yeah. That's my number one. Right on. Jay, what do you got? All right. My number one is

03:29:35.020 --> 03:30:02.240
is a band that might still produce another record. Wait, wait, can I guess it? Yeah. Canatonic Society. You know, I was going to put that on my list, but they have a first album or EP or whatever. I was wondering if anybody was going to say that. I'm really waiting for that band to put out another album. I know. We could just get their act together, Jesus. It's the guitar player. He's such a pain in the ass. You know, singer, whatever.

03:30:05.020 --> 03:30:35.000
It's still probably essentially functional, but they have a history of doing split releases, EPs, things like that. And based on the title of the first record, and it was called this because it's very difficult for them apparently to make a record. I don't think there'll be another one, and it's a shame. And it's Graves at Sea. Oh, yeah. They only have one album? Yeah, but then they have lots of other weird little singles and split releases. Wow. One full length. Yeah, that was a great album. And it's literally called The Curse That Is because they are apparently a bunch of hard

03:30:35.880 --> 03:31:05.000
who cannot, for the life of them, kept running into trouble. It was hard enough to make that one. I don't think there's going to be another one, but I love that record. Yeah, that's a great album. I still put it on from time to time. That's a good call, Jay. I've got the shirt for that. Number one record that year. I'm not familiar with this. What kind of... It's doomy. It's Sludge Doom. There you go. It's fucking awesome. It's dirty. It's sort of like the height of...

03:31:05.020 --> 03:31:35.000
the genre really and they were this band that people talked about that was like oh crazy to see you know what i mean but they always only had again these splits and stuff and then the fucking record finally came out i don't know i think i'm pretty sure we all liked it yeah i like it well i wasn't on the cast then but i think it was my number one record 2016. and i saw them play and there was okay i saw them play and it was like 10 people there because it was a place called reggie's but reggie's has two

03:31:35.020 --> 03:32:04.960
locations. And this one is like this little bar and just a little stage. And there was hardly anybody there. And I actually had some beers with the guys before they went on because I just love that band so much. But you know what? I have the exact same experience. I didn't have beers with them because I didn't know what they looked like. But I saw them with like nobody else. You know, there was a very small amount of people in the audience. And then I only realized once they got up there that all the, you know, the guitar player was the guy who had been hanging out on like this trucker hat.

03:32:05.020 --> 03:32:35.000
I saw that show because God knows when to get another chance. I might actually change my list because I love it. Didn't even realize it because I love that band. They actually did a split with Asunder which is one of my favorite doom metal bands of all time. Well, it comes with a caveat though, Marcus, in that maybe they will make another one. I don't know. They've never officially disbanded or anything. They released something a while back. A single or a split. I'm pretty sure they're still a band. They're just

03:32:35.040 --> 03:32:38.280
probably just take their time but you're right that's like a that's a long time ago

03:32:38.500 --> 03:32:44.460
though uh okay six years yeah yeah i'll have to look at my list but it was in my top five i'm sure

03:32:44.760 --> 03:32:50.920
damn yeah and i'm gonna have to throw graves at cyan i have the super limited edition vinyl yeah i want to hear that again

03:32:51.030 --> 03:33:00.619
too yeah actually i'm trying to remember what was special about it i might have it too it had like a special cover over the vinyl like an overlay

03:33:01.600 --> 03:33:30.460
And the color was like a reddish maybe? I don't think I have the super one. No, no, no. Mine had a red cover that went over the top of that one. It was a sad day when this, I did have some cool color vinyl though, but it was a sad day when the t-shirt from this show kind of wore out. It was funny. It just got too shitty to wear. All right. My number one, you guys are at least tangentially familiar with because I've mentioned it before.

03:33:30.660 --> 03:33:33.140
I know nobody likes it so that's okay

03:33:34.779 --> 03:33:35.260
but

03:33:35.540 --> 03:33:37.580
this is the band they're a Swedish

03:33:37.860 --> 03:33:39.280
band they put out one album in

03:33:39.540 --> 03:33:41.580
2005 and they're

03:33:41.680 --> 03:33:42.820
called Timeless Miracle

03:33:43.540 --> 03:33:45.180
Into the Enchanted Chamber

03:33:45.780 --> 03:33:47.480
I remember you played this for me when we drove

03:33:47.480 --> 03:33:48.580
to Atlanta yeah

03:33:49.520 --> 03:33:51.540
this album is one of

03:33:51.600 --> 03:33:52.400
the catchiest

03:33:53.320 --> 03:33:55.400
it's like heavier power metal you know

03:33:55.840 --> 03:33:57.560
like Running Wild is kind of power metal

03:34:00.140 --> 03:34:00.620
and

03:34:00.640 --> 03:34:30.520
is power metal. It's actually probably heavier than Rhapsody, but you know, it's not all floofy like unicorns. And this is more like werewolves and witches and Satan power metal. And it's so catchy. I mean, every time I listen to this album, I am singing it for weeks because the hooks are just ridiculous on this album. And I've been following them for years and there was talk of a new album, talking to the album, never happened.

03:34:30.780 --> 03:34:59.180
It's been 17 years. No new album. But you can still go to their website and they're like, it says they're like active and like working on stuff. But 17 years, no album. So that's my number one. Nice, George. All right. Prizes abound. Not very many repeats. Nope. I expect we'll see a few now, though, when we do our honorables. Justin.

03:35:00.620 --> 03:35:30.520
Yeah, I mean, you guys mentioned some of the honorables I had. I think Propulsion was one of them. I remember the other one, was I? Because I didn't actually, like, jot down. I would say the only thing, there's one band that I was, like, contemplating, like, bending the rules a little bit because they're, they only have two records out and they've been, like, long gone. And they're both on, like, very small record labels. So it's almost like the two full-length releases are probably as accessible as a regular full-length release. But the band is,

03:35:30.640 --> 03:36:00.440
Ceremonium. They're a New York death dune band from the early 2000s. The record specifically is no longer silent. And it's funny, I just realized recently that they were actually the first band of the first extreme metal show I ever went to at Lemores. Wow. Lemores. They were the opening band. And yeah, that album is fucking killer.

03:36:00.620 --> 03:36:30.580
It's really hard to find. You could probably listen to it on YouTube or something like that. But for the time, I thought it was a really cool record. Awesome. Yeah. So that's it. I'm just pimping that one. All right. I cut mine down, so I just have a couple alternates, I guess. Control-denied, for sure. I give it up for Chuck there. And then the other one was Sempeteria.

03:36:31.521 --> 03:37:00.400
The Spooky Gloom from 1989. It's considered like a cult classic Death Tomb record. I really love that one. I have a lot of Doom stuff on here, but I kind of gravitate towards that. I would just mention those two. All right. Matt, got any? I barely got to five. The two I would mention would be Weakling and Spiral Architect.

03:37:00.640 --> 03:37:01.300
Okay.

03:37:03.720 --> 03:37:03.900
John.

03:37:04.700 --> 03:37:04.880
Wow.

03:37:04.880 --> 03:37:05.660
I got a boatload.

03:37:06.020 --> 03:37:07.640
I know I'm going to George out on mine.

03:37:08.840 --> 03:37:10.060
I'll do it really fast.

03:37:11.080 --> 03:37:15.520
The pre spiral architect band Manitou entrance from 1995.

03:37:16.440 --> 03:37:17.420
Prog metal band from Norway.

03:37:18.680 --> 03:37:19.080
It's a band.

03:37:19.080 --> 03:37:21.400
I know no one's ever heard of band called spiritual.

03:37:21.560 --> 03:37:23.500
The albums pulse came out in 2006.

03:37:23.920 --> 03:37:28.300
They're kind of a like proggy Gothic band from Germany.

03:37:28.900 --> 03:37:58.620
One and Done, Out, Gone, See Ya. Another band no one's ever heard of. They're called Stonehenge. But they're good. Angelo, I think Solonte is the name of the album from 2001. It's a prog metal band from Hungary. I think they've gone on to other bands. Seems like that Hungary metal scene, they're all in bands with each other. I don't know why, but they are. A band I mentioned a long time ago, Trance of Mine,

03:37:58.940 --> 03:38:28.800
Reflections 2004. They're from Canada. One album, kind of proggy, gothic stuff. A band I'm surprised no one mentioned. I had them on my list originally, but they dropped from Norway. Ved, Bwens, End. That was another one I thought was going to be on your list. Yeah, Written in Waters. This is kind of a cult status type album of avant-garde black metal from 95. And I think those guys are in a bunch of different bands too. I think they have ties.

03:38:28.920 --> 03:38:58.880
in the woods. Yeah. So a couple more. I don't know how to say this name in the home language of the Czech Republic, but I'll just spell the acronym. It's V-U-V-R. The album's name is Pilgrimage. It came out in 2001. It's kind of a death metal meets fusion. It's got serious cult status in that world. Apparently, the acronym translates to Research Institute of

03:38:59.600 --> 03:39:01.120
I don't know what the fuck that means.

03:39:01.490 --> 03:39:01.600
Okay.

03:39:02.460 --> 03:39:02.560
Yeah.

03:39:03.020 --> 03:39:03.860
But the album's awesome.

03:39:04.320 --> 03:39:06.520
And I got a couple of rock ones just for fun.

03:39:07.080 --> 03:39:07.740
Blind Faith.

03:39:08.000 --> 03:39:08.440
Blind Faith.

03:39:08.690 --> 03:39:09.120
Oh, yeah.

03:39:09.300 --> 03:39:09.540
Band.

03:39:10.000 --> 03:39:10.300
Come on.

03:39:10.800 --> 03:39:12.420
Members of Traffic and Cream.

03:39:12.960 --> 03:39:13.120
Yep.

03:39:13.340 --> 03:39:15.960
Basically Steve Woodwood and Eric Clapton.

03:39:18.180 --> 03:39:20.900
HSAS, Through the Fire, Sammy Hagar and Neil Schoen.

03:39:21.060 --> 03:39:21.660
Wow.

03:39:21.940 --> 03:39:22.640
That's going back.

03:39:23.480 --> 03:39:24.480
That's a fucking great album.

03:39:24.500 --> 03:39:25.320
I remember that, yeah.

03:39:26.140 --> 03:39:54.320
And pulling your little grunge itch out. Nobody mentioned this. Mad season. Good one. I thought of that because we've talked so much about the 90s and stuff, but obviously not metal, but still awesome. That's totally one of those, like, if I had more time, I feel like I would have come to that realization and it would have been on my list. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Will.

03:39:57.120 --> 03:40:23.520
I don't really have any honorable mentions in the true form of the definition that we set up forth. We set forth in this podcast. Here within upon this. Yes. Headsworth known by person A. But two albums that I will mention that are not one hit wonders as if they only put out one album.

03:40:23.620 --> 03:40:52.280
But there are two bands from the late 80s, early 90s that put out phenomenal albums and everything there for after sucked. And that is Malai Rage put out a album called Kill to Survive. And nothing they put out before or after even came close. And I think they had one called Solitary Salitude that was okay, but it just wasn't there. And then the other band, Forced Entry,

03:40:53.620 --> 03:40:55.520
came out with this phenomenal

03:40:55.800 --> 03:40:57.540
thrash metal album called Uncertain

03:40:57.620 --> 03:40:59.580
Future. And then they came

03:40:59.580 --> 03:41:01.620
out with something, I think only

03:41:01.780 --> 03:41:03.660
one, maybe one more album after that

03:41:03.840 --> 03:41:05.200
because As Above, So Below.

03:41:06.180 --> 03:41:07.560
And it just, it wasn't even

03:41:07.920 --> 03:41:09.800
close, like not even remotely close

03:41:09.980 --> 03:41:11.740
to Uncertain Future.

03:41:12.460 --> 03:41:13.640
So my two honorable

03:41:13.820 --> 03:41:14.840
mentions are bands that

03:41:16.020 --> 03:41:16.560
put out

03:41:17.740 --> 03:41:19.680
phenomenal albums as their first album

03:41:20.000 --> 03:41:21.600
and never followed up with

03:41:21.740 --> 03:41:22.660
anything remotely close.

03:41:22.700 --> 03:41:24.300
just sucked ass after that.

03:41:25.260 --> 03:41:29.900
That's funny because that when I had a message George about for clarification because I was actually

03:41:30.420 --> 03:41:32.260
starting to go into that line of thought you know.

03:41:32.880 --> 03:41:34.600
Like only one good album.

03:41:35.240 --> 03:41:35.420
Yeah.

03:41:35.680 --> 03:41:47.220
I literally had all these listed and then when I was on the podcast tonight because I didn't look at the script because I didn't think I was going to be on and he said like they literally only can put out one album like well scratch that scratch scratch scratch that.

03:41:48.699 --> 03:42:16.660
Hey, Will, I have to admit, when you said, well, this is a band that had a couple albums that were good, and they sucked afterwards, you said going back to the 80s, and M came out of your mouth first, and I thought for sure you're going to drop Metallica. I thought I was thinking that, too. He's crowbarring Metallica into this. They had four good albums. Ask my kids. They only had four. Everything else that sucked. I thought for sure you're going to do it. No. I was thinking that, too. No.

03:42:18.160 --> 03:42:46.860
I was so happy when we were hanging out in Decibel and I got to hear a crowbarred in Will Metallica rant in person. I'm sure you'll get one at MDF too. Yeah. I mean, just bring it up and you'll get it. Yeah. So let me just say black. It will happen. Oh, man. Triggered. Yeah.

03:42:48.160 --> 03:43:17.840
I don't like George. Oh, well. So I've got a bunch. This is like old George like list. I've got like, I think 13 of them. Holy shit, dude. I know. I'll go through them quickly. Most of them haven't been mentioned, but a few have. First one is Caladan Brood, Echoes of Battle, Salt Lake City Folk Black Metal Band from 2013. Still technically active, but nine years, no album. You're on my list.

03:43:18.160 --> 03:43:19.880
Jay mentioned this one,

03:43:20.060 --> 03:43:21.960
Kretis Dux Maya Lux.

03:43:22.100 --> 03:43:31.720
They did an EP in 2015 and nothing since cult of end time in charnel lights finished death metal from 2015.

03:43:33.080 --> 03:43:34.020
Thought it was really cool.

03:43:34.340 --> 03:43:44.180
And then they broke up mentioned by Justin Disincarnate dreams of the carrying kind 1993 Tampa death metal featuring James Murphy.

03:43:45.620 --> 03:44:15.260
Next up, God Macabre, The Winter Long, Swedish death metal from 1993 featuring Jonas of At The Gates that y'all hung up with without me at Decibel a few years back. He was in that band and on that album. Mentioned by Matt, this is the one that I thought was going to be the H for J and it was Heaven and Hell, The Devil You Know from 2009. One album with Dion Vogels.

03:44:17.319 --> 03:44:45.560
Next up, one that was kind of a no-brainer for me, like one of those O, but nobody mentioned it, and that's Insect Warfare. There were a grindcore band from Houston in 2007. I forget the name of the album. I don't know if it was self-titled or what. I don't remember. I didn't write it down. Anyway, one that I thought I might hear but did not was Nail Bomb and the one album Point Blank from 1915.

03:44:45.680 --> 03:45:15.260
That was Max Cavalera. Oh, dude. I love that nail bond album. Yeah. With the dude from Fudge Tunnel. Yeah. It has the cover of the old Vietnam. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. AM-16 to the woman's head. Yep. Dude, that is a good album. I know. Yeah. Next one was mentioned by, I think, Matt? Or maybe it was Justin. Somebody mentioned it. Repulsion.

03:45:15.620 --> 03:45:16.180
Horrified.

03:45:20.001 --> 03:45:21.200
1989 Grindcore.

03:45:21.330 --> 03:45:23.160
So like early grind.

03:45:24.260 --> 03:45:26.960
This next one, nobody knows but me.

03:45:27.480 --> 03:45:30.580
Like I'm probably the only person alive on the planet that knows this one.

03:45:31.420 --> 03:45:40.620
This is the Northern Ontario Black Metal Preservation Society and the two song EP Future Northern Prosperity.

03:45:41.800 --> 03:45:44.260
Given any guesses, this came out in 2010.

03:45:44.440 --> 03:46:13.120
If you've given any guesses and it's not Joel, who is this? David Gold. David Gold. Woods of Epre. Yes, it was him and a friend of his. They did a two-song EP called The Northern... What was the name of the band? The Northern Ontario Black Metal Preservation Society. It's on Bandcamp. Okay. Yeah, it was like the year before David died, they did a two-song EP. Knob Lip.

03:46:17.080 --> 03:46:44.200
Yeah. Anyway. Four more. I thought that. Yeah. I thought. I thought this one might come up, but it didn't. Thurgothen stream from the heavens. Finished Funeral Doom from 1994. Thorns. Self-titled album from Norway. 2001. This was Snorri, the guy that drove Varg to kill Uranimus.

03:46:44.440 --> 03:46:45.340
This is his album.

03:46:47.560 --> 03:46:48.000
Weakling.

03:46:49.600 --> 03:46:50.460
Brought up several times.

03:46:50.860 --> 03:46:52.440
No need to say any more about that one.

03:46:53.540 --> 03:46:55.820
And my final one that I also thought might come up.

03:46:56.220 --> 03:46:56.640
Whelm.

03:46:57.250 --> 03:47:00.280
A Gaze Blank and Pitiless as the Sun.

03:47:01.020 --> 03:47:02.980
Doom Sludge from Denmark from 2013.

03:47:05.140 --> 03:47:06.080
So there we are.

03:47:08.780 --> 03:47:09.980
See, there was a lot.

03:47:10.480 --> 03:47:11.000
There was a lot.

03:47:11.020 --> 03:47:41.000
I, you know, when I picked it from your list, I said, oh, this is going to be easy. And then y'all started talking and I was like, oh shit, this is going to be hard. And then as I went through my shit, I was like, oh, I have tons of stuff. One of the struggles I had with this is that like, for me, especially like going back and looking for stuff, you tend to go for bands that you know are still around and are putting stuff out as opposed to bands that have the one

03:47:41.020 --> 03:48:10.940
record and then didn't do anything else. So unless it gets like, unless you hear a lot about it, you don't necessarily, you're not driven to like go back to that. So I know that there are other albums that I thoroughly enjoyed that I probably just forgot about because I didn't like note them because they were like, you know, from 1993 and they've been broken up ever since, you know? So like it's, I don't keep the reference for it, I guess, as much. So I feel like over like this next week, I'm going to,

03:48:11.020 --> 03:48:41.000
There's going to be ones that just pop up my head. I'm like, fuck, I shouldn't fucking mention that one. Yeah. And there's stuff that you maybe think like, oh, I liked that one album. And then it turns out they have like four albums, but you only listen to the one. Oh, my God, there were so many like that. I'm like, wait, God, it had more than like one album? I didn't know that. You know, like, like, there are certain like bands from back then where you're just like, oh, shit, I didn't realize they had. Yeah. But they had like that one album that everyone knows them from, you know. And like, there was one that I was, I was like, oh, that's totally gonna be on there. It was Disillusion. I'm like, no, no, they had that one album.

03:48:41.020 --> 03:49:11.000
that second shitty album and then they had another album more recently but uh yeah so well you figure a lot a lot of bands especially death metal ones which is what i you know my reference point so many of them like you know put out an album in the early 90s and now they're putting out new stuff because of like the cult following like eucharist record right there's like a whole there's like a shit ton of them yeah yeah a lot of them do that yeah fucking up our list but then they don't make yeah then they can't make the fucking list because

03:49:11.040 --> 03:49:40.900
They're making more music, which is a good thing. Yeah. All right. Well, let's pick one album of the episode. Justin, what could be your one album of the episode that you like the most? Please. I think I'm just going to go with the one I mentioned, Ectoplasma, Inferno Kabbalah. That's just like, I don't know. There's just something about that record that I just, I fucking love it. As a death metal guy, I just fucking love it.

03:49:41.040 --> 03:50:11.000
I think it's fun. It does everything that I want. It changes things up. It gets stuck in my fucking head. I get earworms from it. I fucking love it. And I feel like no one else is hearing what I'm hearing. Yeah, I think I have it. I think I bought it. But I definitely need to go back and listen to it again based on your... Yeah, I just... Like I said, it's... And Immolation came out of the fucking album this year and this is my death metal record of the year so far. Wow. All right. Definitely going to

03:50:11.040 --> 03:50:38.840
Check that out. I'm pure like repeat, like catchy listening. We're all gonna have to check that out. Cause if you're, Hey, Justin, can you, can you DM me that? Oh, you know, I will. Yeah. Oh gosh. I'll send you a few. There's actually a couple. I'm like, I think we'll would dig this shit. Justin and I, we have a thing going on. We got things. Yeah. Death metal thing. A DM death metal.

03:50:41.040 --> 03:51:10.780
You DM. Double DMing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We thought about asking George to join, but. Hey. Yeah. Whatever, man. Justin's got high standards. I know. I don't make the cut. That's typical. Sounds like I'm getting kicked out of the room at MDS. Oh, no, no, no. Listen, I got a room all to myself. I can do whatever the fuck I want.

03:51:14.101 --> 03:51:41.000
What does the D stand for then? Duh. Whoops. Can't ask that on this podcast. Right. Markisan. Yeah, my album, the episode, it was going to be Weakling, but then Jay brought up

03:51:41.160 --> 03:52:10.880
Graves That See The Cursed That Is. And I absolutely love that record. I'd never even thought of it because I just assumed that they would be coming back. Yeah, I did too. But it has been six years and they have only done that one album. So I have to put that as my album of the episode because I got to go listen to it. I need to find out what's going on. I want to hear that too. If no one's heard it, you need to put that record on. Yeah, it's definitely on my, to check out because I,

03:52:10.940 --> 03:52:40.900
No reference for that at all. Yeah, because I think John asked me for my 2017 best of list so that I could we could do like the last five years or something. But I never. So you were in line with Matt. Oh, right, right, right. Exactly. So but this came out in 2016. And I know it is my my top album from that year. So that was a really cool pull that Jay pulled out that I didn't even know he was going to do. Yeah. So thanks, Jay. Matt. All right. Because I am contract

03:52:40.960 --> 03:53:08.260
I'm actually obligated to choose this album as my album of the episode if it is mentioned within the episode. You're welcome. I have to go with Master Don's Leviathan. Thank you, George. Oh, man. All right, John. I'm going to go with Cosmic Putrefaction as my album of the episode. Just to go back to Matt for a second.

03:53:10.940 --> 03:53:39.320
to give you an in, but I also said it to give me an out. Because I did not mention the band or the album. I mentioned something that I may have seen in the world. I alluded to it. I lured you into my trap. Anyway, yes. I assume that Cosmic Putrefaction is the new one, not the other one, because we talked about both the last one.

03:53:40.760 --> 03:54:10.720
No, the debut. Oh, you are doing the debut. Okay. That's okay. Are you familiar with Artificial Brain at all? John? What's that? Are you familiar with Artificial Brain at all? A little bit, yeah. Okay. I'm curious to see what this new album is going to do, and I think everyone should pay attention to it if they're into this cosmic future. I have a fine feeling it's going to be in that same kind of cool realm. Artificial Brain was more tech. No, they're kind of like

03:54:10.760 --> 03:54:40.720
They were kind of like early on with the spacey death stuff. They just have more brutal vocals, which is why they're not quite as, I guess, spread across the metal field than some of the other ones. But they've been very cosmic for a while, like before there was more bands doing it. But anyways, I'm just saying, because I have a funny feeling if this album's hitting you, I feel like that one that's coming out is probably going to

03:54:41.500 --> 03:55:10.640
I'll check it out. Will, what were you saying about Decimal? Oh, Decimal's not kind to the new Cosmic Petrefaction. Whatever. Yeah. Sorry, point of reference, that's all. I mean, look at the people there. I mean, come on. Just kidding, guys. All right. Well, Will, what's your album of the episode? I have a massive mea culpa because I was saying,

03:55:10.760 --> 03:55:40.480
So I've been listening to the new Yob album. I know it's a new Yob album, but the name of the album was not printed on the vinyl anywhere. And the new Yob album, new as in a few years ago, the latest, I guess the latest, is Our Raw Heart. Yes. And so Jay was kind of sparring with me, not sparring, but like, you're kind of like, are you sure Atma is, like, Atma is the Yob album, but that's like three albums ago. And for whatever reason, I thought that was the name of the new one.

03:55:40.520 --> 03:56:08.440
Anyway, the new one that I'm listening to is All Raw Heart, which is the one that Mike Schneid recorded after Diverticulitis. So after his whole like super death scare and stuff like that, he made this album. So this is what it's been has not moved from my record player in like a month. In fact, there was an I went out with Warren and Katie Warren, who's on the podcast, the brewer for brewing company.

03:56:10.500 --> 03:56:39.420
I, his girlfriend, Katie, and my buddy, Louie, and his wife, Chloe, we all went out. I called John. John was not available. And we all went out. We had some beers. And then Warren and Katie came back to my house. And then we put that record on. And I mean, it's just been on. It's just been on. Like, it's an inspirational record for me at this point in my life. And I love it. And that's my album of the episode.

03:56:40.000 --> 03:56:40.360
Right on.

03:56:40.420 --> 03:57:10.220
Yob, our raw heart. Yeah. I have to break the vinyl out for that. That's a good one, dude. It's double vinyl. Yeah, I have it. I have it. Yeah. Get it out. Yes, sir. Jay, what's your album of the episode? Graves at Sea, The Curse That Is. No, I think it should be read like this. The Curse That Is, Graves at Sea, which is actually the way it's printed on the album. You know, I'm watching Our Flag Means Death right now. Are you loving it?

03:57:10.400 --> 03:57:40.060
Oh, that's awesome. It's really funny, dude, isn't it? Yeah. Well, it's also very emotional, too. Well, yeah. You know, I read the Wikipedia page for Steed, and it's funny how they're taking, they're really sticking with the history, but making it funny. Oh, this is based on a true story? Yes, he's a real person. I had no idea. How far along are you? I'm halfway through. Five episodes. Tracy and I just finished it. Yeah. It gets to be pretty surprising.

03:57:40.520 --> 03:58:10.380
Yeah, well, I mean, I know how the story must end. I don't know if they're going to do more than one season or if it ends with this one, but don't tell me. I will say this. I don't know either, but I hope to second season. All right, well, because I know how he ends. Then I don't think it's over in the series because nobody ends in this. So my number one has to be my number one from the top five, Timeless Miracle, into the Enchanted

03:58:10.420 --> 03:58:15.820
Chamber, that album just freaking gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.

03:58:17.030 --> 03:58:20.000
So is the intended Chamber stuck in your head a euphemism?

03:58:21.640 --> 03:58:23.440
It could be. It could be.

03:58:23.840 --> 03:58:24.940
Yeah, could be.

03:58:27.320 --> 03:58:27.820
I don't know.

03:58:28.420 --> 03:58:32.040
Someone got their head stuck in your Enchanted Chamber is what you're saying.

03:58:32.600 --> 03:58:33.320
I wish.

03:58:36.780 --> 03:58:37.300
George.

03:58:41.880 --> 03:58:43.820
It's like he did a shot so he can answer.

03:58:45.180 --> 03:58:45.940
Oh, shit.

03:58:46.420 --> 03:58:47.260
I'm going to ask this question.

03:58:49.820 --> 03:58:50.820
So there we are.

03:58:51.160 --> 03:58:52.100
We are at the end.

03:58:53.300 --> 03:58:57.200
I always want to do, this is the end, my beautiful friend, or whatever.

03:58:57.320 --> 03:58:57.980
The End of the Doors thing.

03:58:58.010 --> 03:58:59.520
I always want to do that, like every episode.

03:59:00.340 --> 03:59:01.760
And I've probably done it at least once.

03:59:02.220 --> 03:59:02.720
You have.

03:59:02.960 --> 03:59:03.440
I have.

03:59:03.800 --> 03:59:04.300
At least once.

03:59:05.460 --> 03:59:06.840
Thanks, Justin, for coming on.

03:59:06.920 --> 03:59:35.540
I really appreciate it's awesome. Yeah. I'm super pumped to see everyone. I am, man. Yeah, I was happy to see everyone here. It was a nice little, like, just kind of felt it was perfect. It was like my plans had just changed. And then George hit me up. I'm like, yeah, fuck yeah. So thanks for having me on again. Of course. And it's always fun as usual. And yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing you fellas in person. Yeah, pretty soon. Yeah.

03:59:36.940 --> 04:00:06.220
And it was good that Will could stop by. I didn't think you were going to make it, but here you are. Yeah, I mean, everything's in flux right now. So sometimes it's, when I look at my calendar, like, oh, there's a show, I can't go to the show. And then if I look further down my calendar on the same day, I was like, oh, but I have my kids that week. So this is just one of those weeks that I have my kids and I'm not, I'm not sacrificing anything for hanging out with my kids. So they went to bed and I'm like, all right, well, after they go to bed, I'll jump off.

04:00:06.820 --> 04:00:35.960
Awesome. Yeah. Well, we'll, we will fit you in wherever we can. Good luck with that. MDS. Yep. A lot of will. Yep. Next time we talk, we will have all seen each other in person. Yeah. Lots of that. Matt. Yeah. Who knows? But. All right. Until next time. See ya.

04:00:36.800 --> 04:00:38.040
Tschüss.

04:00:39.070 --> 04:00:39.420
Later.

04:01:22.900 --> 04:01:39.540
Metal Heads Podcast. I just want to say you are by far my favorite podcast, and I don't even like metal. And it's because of episodes like this last one with Justin and the ones previous with artists, record shop owners, etc.

04:01:39.700 --> 04:01:54.720
that you elevate beyond a review show, and you have turned into just a great interview show. Well done. Love the last episode. You guys are great. Keep it up.
