WEBVTT 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:05.240 Metalhead Podcast, Metalhead Podcast, Go! 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:27.980 You must listen. 00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:30.160 You must listen. 00:00:31.540 --> 00:00:32.540 You must listen. 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.500 Now, here is the podcast, Metalheads Podcast Go. 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.700 Hello and welcome to the Metalheads Podcast. 00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:43.700 My name is George. 00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:45.140 This is Jay. 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.360 This is Will. 00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:47.220 This is John. 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:48.300 I'm TR. 00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:53.380 And we are also joined today by Matt, a.k.a. Stu. 00:00:54.040 --> 00:01:21.720 Perhaps you know him online as Dad of Northern Darkness. Hello, Matt. Hello. Hi, Matt. Hey, y'all. I'm excited to get everybody together. In case you aren't aware, Matt is one of the guys that I experienced Vaken with this past August. Let's be honest. Matt experienced George at Vaken. That's probably a good way of putting it. Sorry about that, Matt. It was a good time. 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:53.940 Yeah, and he also wrote a piece for the website, so I'm kind of excited to have him here with all the rest of my metal brothers. Yeah, excited to be here. Thank you. And this is our year-end episode featuring our top 25 albums of 2017, but it's also episode 69. 69, dudes! I had to put that in there. Don't tell MGM. 00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:24.000 They'll sue me. So we're at the year end. We tend to forego the news and new releases and all that because it takes us so long to do our list and we're drinking beer and eating pizza while we do it. So we have a lot of beer when we have a lot of ground to cover. Now, before we get into our list for this year, one of the guys, I don't remember if it was Jay or John, suggested that we do a top five album covers for the year. So we're going to start with that. But before we 00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:53.660 We have to talk about what we're drinking. Or what we drank. Okay. What everybody but me has drank. I have not touched it yet. Okay. I was waiting. I couldn't help myself. So, John, what did you get for us here? I brought to share with everyone in the room a bottle of Pliny the Elder from Russian River out in California. We've heard George go on and on and on to Jay about setting some Pliny. Which he did. Which he did. 00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:23.660 which you're gonna have for yourself, you said later on. I am a greedy fucking bastard. Yes, but I brought one back since I didn't know Jay was sending one. I was just out in California, so I brought one back for the group. I didn't want to drink it ahead of time. I figured I should drink it now while we're doing this. Let's do some sound effects, gentlemen. Cheers. Cheers, and I'm gonna take my sip now. Okay. And then maybe you guys can finish so I can get another beer. That is damn fine. Yes, it is. That's why I got an extra one. I'm a... 00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:52.560 Beers, no slouch, very award-winning. Left Hand Brewing Company, Fade to Black. Which number? Still number one? Yeah, they have all these different versions of it, and some of them are smoked. There's a porter that I wanted to get. No, this is just the general export style, which is... It's cool. I like the other ones better, personally, but it's still good, though. I mean, it's one of my go-to winter beers. It's really good. Awesome. Maybe after the album covers, we can get another beer. 00:03:53.700 --> 00:04:23.600 I'm sure we can get one before then. It's okay. I should have brought the cooler in here. Shouldn't I? Matt, what are you drinking? I thought you had something there. Yeah, I've got Lazu Wright by Warpigs. Oh, yeah. I just had one of those. Somebody brought me one. How do you like it? Yeah, good, good. Very much. But it's that. It's a collaboration between Three Floyds and McKellar. Yeah, I think the whole Warpigs brew pub is a collaboration between the two companies. Oh, is it real? 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:23.820 Yeah. 00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:23.940 Yeah. 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:24.640 Oh, awesome. 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:25.180 McKellar. 00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:30.380 Isn't that the thing that, uh, Lilker was, was pimping at, uh, beer fest? 00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:30.780 Yeah. 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:31.120 It's cool. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.440 I like them. 00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:32.440 Yeah. 00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.940 We have a, we have a bottle of nuclear hop of salt that Danny sent me personally. 00:04:36.340 --> 00:04:37.460 They're the nomads, aren't they? 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:38.680 Is that the nomad brewery? 00:04:39.580 --> 00:04:40.140 Uh, McKellar? 00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:40.500 Yeah. 00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:41.900 Didn't they bounce around a little bit? 00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:42.240 Yeah. 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:42.560 For brewing? 00:04:43.200 --> 00:04:43.260 Yeah. 00:04:43.900 --> 00:04:44.000 Cool. 00:04:44.260 --> 00:04:44.940 Gypsy brewers. 00:04:45.460 --> 00:04:47.800 And I'm going to guess that Jay, it's a little early for you yet. 00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:49.320 It's a little early. 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.100 A little sawgrass. 00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:52.000 And last night was a little late. 00:04:54.420 --> 00:05:21.900 What were you doing last night, Jay? Foraging for lemongrass. Entertaining myself. So that took all night? I thought usually it's like 20 seconds and you're done. Yeah, I'm in and out and I'm ready to go do something else. Well, if you want, we can fill up another beer before we get into the list or we can start the list while you fill it up. Do you want to start? What do you want to do? 00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:50.560 Let's pause. Get a beer. You can't start list without beer. Alright. What do you want to break? Behemoth? You have a couple of stouts set out right now. No, no. Do my only friend. You got something to cut wax with? I got a knife. Right here. Right here. Right here. Right here. What do you got? That's not a noise! That smells good. 00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:56.900 This is my only friend. 00:05:57.840 --> 00:05:58.940 You had bourbon on your penis? 00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:02.320 Wouldn't surprise me. 00:06:03.380 --> 00:06:04.560 Meanwhile, back of the love, Chuck. 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:06.320 Alright. 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.780 We are back. We have a new beer. 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.060 We're going to tell you about that. 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.160 And then maybe we'll actually get around to some music stuff. 00:06:13.460 --> 00:06:14.460 What are we drinking now? 00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:19.440 This is from Ocelot, which is a brewery in Northern Virginia we talk about all the time. 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.120 It's called My Only Friend. 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:51.640 It's a barrel-aged imperial stout. Is that what it said on the bottom? Yes, it is. I didn't have my glasses on. And it's been aging for a while. It is que delicioso. Cheers. Cheers. Okay. That is tasty. So Ocelot is a brewery that it's named after, so it's half heavy metal, half fish. They have an identity crisis. A lot of their beers are named after heavy metal songs, and the other half are named after classic rock and ferns. 00:06:51.680 --> 00:07:21.640 fish songs because ocelot apparently is a fish song so the owner adrian great guy loves fish head brewer mike is a metalhead in fact he's got the entire leviathan album cover tattooed from like his hip up to his shoulder wow i used to have a picture of it somewhere he showed it to me does that mean you saw him naked well which is it the uh standard version or is it the uh special edition i'm seeing a couple different things um i don't know go get the bottle no i'm talking about his tattoo i want to know how big his tattoo is 00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:22.200 It's big. 00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:24.700 All right. 00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:28.720 Let's get into our top five album covers of 2017. 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.740 Now, we always go around the room 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:35.720 So here's our order. 00:07:35.820 --> 00:07:36.720 We're going to start with Matt. 00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:40.560 And then John. 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.280 John. 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:41.940 And then Will. 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:42.660 And then Jay. 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.320 And then me. 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:44.420 TR's here. 00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:46.180 He, I mean. 00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:46.560 I'm just. 00:07:47.140 --> 00:07:48.380 You don't have album covers, right? 00:07:48.460 --> 00:08:15.560 The Studio Audience. He's the Studio Audience. Today's Metal Heads Podcast is performed in front of a live studio audience. It is. Of one. So, okay, at some point, we'll do this. Hi, what's your name and where are you from? I'm TR, long-time listener, first-time caller. Thanks for coming to you. And what's your question for George today? I just was wondering, when you are bashing on your computer, 00:08:18.460 --> 00:08:19.660 problems for the podcast. 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.080 Yes. 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.100 We've been having some football. 00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:24.140 We've been having technical issues. 00:08:24.140 --> 00:08:26.440 And by the way, bashing on your computer is a euphemism. 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:27.160 No. 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:35.560 And both Jay and I had our internet go out this morning, which was catastrophically bad because we can't do this without the internet. 00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:36.580 That was really bad for your sex life, wasn't it? 00:08:37.219 --> 00:08:37.300 Yeah. 00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:39.380 All right. 00:08:39.530 --> 00:08:43.200 So we're going to go to Matt for his fifth album cover. 00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:47.160 I have a couple honorable mentions you want to do that? 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:47.740 We'll do them after. 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:48.040 Okay. 00:08:48.600 --> 00:09:17.720 So, Matt, number five. All right, number five, Gravedigger, Healed by Metal. Really? Interesting. They always have really good album cover art, but I completely forgot that they had that album this year. Nice. Good choice, sir. All right, John. I'm going to make Will happy with this. XDO, The Immortal Wars. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Nice. Maybe not a politically correct album cover for these days, but back then, probably real. Yeah. 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:45.680 All right, well, my number five, Memoriam for the Fallen. That was a good one. I wanted to get that on there. Gotta give a shout-out to Dan Seagrave. That dude is legendary. Excellent. And Jay? This will be a little bit of a surprise to you, but I'm going to send you the image, but it's the Mercure album, and it's because the special edition had a killer painting on it, and I'll send that to you so you guys can see it, because it's not just the cover of her standing there, but Mercure, or however you pronounce that. 00:09:48.100 --> 00:10:18.040 I thought maybe your laptop went out there for a second, Jay. So George is number five. Okay, so my number five is perihelion ship to paint a bird of fire. Yeah, George likes to naked cartoon girls. Naked girls. Boobies. Boobies. Boobies without nipples, though. That's kind of disappointing. You were looking very hard. I was looking at it hard, you mean. No, no, that's not what he meant. All right, back to Matt for number five. 00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:48.020 Number four, creator, gods of violence. Nice. Oh, my God. I didn't even think of that one. I almost had that on there. Add that to your honorable mentions. Jesus Christ. Thank you for the reminder. John. My number four is Cororant, dysphoria. Nice. Is that from a painting, like a Renaissance classical type painting, or did somebody do that recently? I don't know, but it looks like that. It looks like the guy that... Yeah, are those plague paintings? 00:10:48.100 --> 00:11:18.060 The Dutch guy that did the like old like apocalyptic drawings paintings I mean yeah yeah all right that's cool yeah I was considering that one too it's got a little plague action on there I figured that's kind of cool yeah all right well my number four Belphagor Totten Ritual a Greek artist named Seth Ciro Anton it's pretty awesome yeah it was a good one too that's another one I was considering all right Jay nocturnal mortem Verity 00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:47.680 That was my original number five. It got bumped by something a little bit later. It's a cool cover. Yeah, definitely cool. All right, my number four. This one's kind of got a horror movie poster theme to it. Death Revenge by Exhumed. Nice. Is that the one that's got like the surgeon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, but it's even got like a fold crease. Yeah. 00:11:48.080 --> 00:12:17.500 where the poster would be folded. I bought the vinyl and it came with a poster of it. Nice. Yeah. All right. Moving right along. Back to Matt for number three. Number three, Temple of Void, Lords of Death. Oh, yeah. Keep talking. Keep talking. Pablo Girardi or something, his name? I point that somewhere else. Yeah. All right. John. Number three for me is Persephone. And I'm going to butcher this, but I think it's Athma. 00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:48.060 the name of the album. I like that. Yeah, I remember that one was pretty looking, like blues and oranges and stuff in there. Very artsy. Yeah. This whole time I've been trying to look up the album cover for Creator Gods of Violence. How did I miss that one? Thank you, Matt. You also slaughtered Diaspora, John. Yeah, that's all right. Just like I'll slaughter your list later, so that's cool. Yeah, you will. But thank you, because I'm 00:12:48.080 --> 00:13:16.600 I may have to say that again at some point. One prognital at a time. Yeah. A couple of us might be saying that. Okay. Number three, Will. Loss. Horizonless. Artist's name is Adam Burke. It looks like they're literally ripping up, like ripping the sky apart. It's really cool. Check it out. And it's a good album, too. Okay. Jay, number three. Exhumed. Death Revenge. Nice. Excellent. My number three. 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:47.120 knocked nocturnal mortem off and just elbowed its way up to number three. Morbid Angel, Kingdoms Disdained. Yeah, it's a good one. Pretty cool. Very cool. I've seen a few comments where people think it's terrible, but I don't get that. How is that terrible? I love it. It's cool. It's like Satan rising up out of the ground and just buildings are falling and shit. It's cool. Yeah, it's killer. Satan and destruction is cool. 00:13:48.100 --> 00:14:15.280 on there or something. It's cool. Yeah. All right. Number two, Matt. Number two, Exhumed Death Revenge. Wow. Look at that. Not too shabby. All right. John? My number two, Sorcerer, The Crowning of the Fire King. Yeah, I was considering that one. I say that for everything, but I was. You've said that so far for all of them. I know. 00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:46.460 I take credit for things I didn't put on my list. I looked at a lot of album covers to make my list. Since yesterday. Since yesterday. It's all fresh. My number two. Morbid Angel. Kingdom's Distained. It's an Irish mixed media artist named Ken Coleman. Way to go, Ken. My number two. Morbid Angel. Kingdom's Distained. Apparently it's by some Irish mixed media artist. 00:14:48.080 --> 00:15:16.740 I took the time to find it. We're talking about album art. You're not going to say, oh, I like this song, and not say who the artist is. No, for sure, dude. Did anybody listen to that last night? Which? The Mormon Angel. Yeah. And today. A lot. A lot. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I listened to it too. Well, we'll talk later. Yeah. All right, so it's my number two now. Number two. Temple of Void, Lords of Death. Yeah. Before we go any further, I'm going to hazard a guess here. 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:47.820 I could be wrong. Might run the board. Yeah, we may run the board here. Just saying. That's up to Matt. You know, it's interesting is I've seen memes about. Anyway, just saying what's about to happen. Yeah. Matt, what's your number? Wait, tell us your number one. You can do it. Does this feel like a game show to anybody else? It all depends how you answer. My number one is Bell Witch Mirror Reaper. Should we all just do it? Yeah. 00:15:48.840 --> 00:16:18.060 Bellwish number one. Which, by the way, is a Polish guy named Mariusz Lewandowski. Aranso Pazuzu? What? God bless you. I sent it out to everyone on the Facebook chat thing. He was selling that print. I don't know if you guys went to the site, but he has tons of great album covers on it. He's done his work. Prints that were used for album covers. I think it's universally loved as the 00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:46.380 Number One Album Cover This Year. Because I've seen memes about it. He's become my new Travis Smith. I've always loved Travis Smith stuff, but now this guy's on par with him, I think. We were actually looking into Travis Smith as a possible. That'd be awesome. Doing some artwork for the podcast, but... He's highly sought after. Excuse me. Yeah, it would probably be a bit of a wait to get him. God knows how much it would cost. 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.100 Nothing says you can't ask. You never know. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, like getting 00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:57.480 Kristoff to do the logo. 00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:01.340 I expected that would be like thousands of dollars and quite affordable. 00:17:01.650 --> 00:17:02.940 You should check him out if you need 00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:06.560 Kristoff Spatzel or however you say it. 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.640 You should check out the Lord of Logos. 00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:10.819 Check out fucking Ocelot. This beer is delicious. 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:12.400 It is really good beer. 00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:14.860 Really tasty. Sorry, guys. 00:17:15.780 --> 00:17:44.940 I always feel bad drinking beer in front of the people that are on Skype. I don't feel bad drinking in front of Jay. He never drinks. It's a teetotaler now. Yeah. Now there's some in my fridge. We'll see how late it gets here. It's the year end, dude. Oh, I know. Buck up, buttercup. I really did have a late night last night, in all honesty. So you need the hair of the dog, man. Yeah. That's a good beer, too, from Portland. I haven't had any food either. Jay, what I'm trying to say is you're much more tolerable when you're drunk. 00:17:46.460 --> 00:18:15.680 I get that a lot. Sorry, I'm eating pizza. All right, let's do honorable mentions. Okay, I didn't have any for that, but go ahead. Matt, do you have any honorable mentions? No, I do. None. None for me. Oh, well, I have. Will has creator and what else? Well, now I have creator. Thank you, Matt. Gods of violence. Temple of Void, Lords of Death by Paolo Girardi. How did that post? 00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:45.480 that not on your list. You know what? It was vying for number five, and I had to give a shout-out to Dan Seagrave in memoriam. Yeah. And then the Morbid Angel came out. Yeah, actually, and that's awesome. The thing is, the Morbid Angel came out. I was like, fucking, that's awesome. Well, if you listen to the last episode, Mr. fucking Temple of Void fan over here was losing his mind for that, but now he can't give any love to the album cover that he was... He loved so much last episode. It's number six. Okay, fine. 00:18:46.620 --> 00:19:15.740 My other one is Ordos House of the Dead by Axel Torvenius. What? Nothing. George is playing with himself again. Yeah. Penis. Anyway, guy from Sweden. Penis. What I love about the album is it looks like it was modeled after... Penis. In and around your face. It looks like the album cover was kind of like a mimicking. 00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:44.760 off Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar. Yes, it does. With the lava going through. With the lava coming down, yeah. And then the other one, Immolation Atonement by Par Olofsson and Suffocation of the Dark Light by Colin Marks. I'm surprised you didn't put the Immolation on your list. Yeah, I kind of expected that to be on there. On my cover list or on my regular list? Cover list for sure. I'm sure it's on your other list. It's on my honorable mentions. Yeah. 00:19:45.800 --> 00:20:14.920 Let's move on to our top 25 albums of 2017. God, you're a dork. Dude, I love that. That's one of my favorite. I love that song too. All right, so Matt, number 25. Yes, sir. Number 25, Cavern Light, As We Cup Our Hands and Drink from the Stream of Our Ache. Nice. Which is also my favorite album title, I think, for the album. Yeah, I was about to say it. The album title is awesome. 00:20:15.800 --> 00:20:44.280 Awesome. All right. Once we get another beer or two in, I'm not going to have any idea of the order anymore, so you're all going to have to remember your turns. It actually goes like this. Oh, yeah. It does. It really does. Okay. That helps. That helps. Yeah. Okay, John. Because everybody listening can see what I was doing. Yeah. No. It literally is just like in... Somehow he got confused. He really got confused because he went all the way to TR and said it back to J. Anyway. 00:20:45.800 --> 00:21:15.760 I said you had some stuff. Do you have a... I do. I kind of... I have 15. Okay. Do you want to just come in at 15 and work your right now? We can. I mean, if you guys... It's... People are going to kill you for it. Yeah, no worries. It's cool. I mean, we did that for Joel last year. He came in at 15, I think. T.R., trust me. George is going to cue the crickets right now. Oh, good. I'm going to drop my first fuck you guys. All right. So... All right. My number 25. Not that anyone's really going to give a shit, but... Because it's another one of my fusion 00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:43.840 I honestly have never heard of that. That's fine. I thought you were going to say Special Education Will. I listen to them and they're good. There you go. All right. Well, hey, you know the best part about these lists, the whole reason I started looking at lists to begin with is to find out about new stuff. Historically now for the third year in a row, I've had one of these bands on my list. So there. All right. Will. My number 25. 00:21:47.200 --> 00:22:15.320 Necromant, Snakes and Liars. Nice. Swedish Doom Metal. Yeah, I like it. This was, I almost didn't put it on the list because I didn't want to be ridiculed because it's actually kind of more rock and roll than metal. I don't want to have another Clutch moment. Yeah. But I figured at number 25, you're not going to give me too much shit. No. I mean, I like the album. I like Clutch too, but I just want to put it on my list. Well, on your rock and roll list. Yeah, my rock list for sure. Speaking of Clutch, well, you know Devin Towns is touring with them right now. 00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:45.640 Yeah. Two rock and roll bands. No, no. It's way heavier than Clutch. He's lower. And the Obsessed, who is also metal. Isn't Obsessed the headline, I think? Yes. I think they just threw Clutch. Clutch is kind of like Queens of the Stone Age on that tour with Mastodon and Russian Circles. You know, we saw a dude at the show, at the Devin show the other night, who had one of those. He had a work shirt with Clutch on there. And we're like, we gotta get one of those for oil. 00:22:47.080 --> 00:23:15.200 I figure I gotta get my shots in now before the beer takes over and I forget what's on my list. And I'm saying number three, Clutch. Wait, I don't listen to them. All right. All right. Jay. It's the first time I've ever worked something in my list so fast. We just talked about it a second ago, but I really feel like it needs to be there. I haven't got to listen to it enough, but it's better than I hoped it was going to be. Morbid Angel. Kingdoms of disdain or disdain kingdoms or whatever it's called. 00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:45.020 Kingdom's Disdain. I stayed up late just to listen to it last night. So that was your late night? That was my late night. A few other things. I was mashing my computer. Did you have like a wood chipper in your house or something? Oh, is there noise? Alright, my number 25 comes courtesy of Jay. It might have gone higher, but I just haven't given enough time yet, but Slaghead and Thanatanot. 00:23:45.860 --> 00:24:14.900 Good one. Yep. I was listening to that on my way to see John. Yeah. Cool. All right. Back to Matt for number 24. I'd just like to say this is the official start of me butchering band names, so please forgive me. Number 24, Falls of Raurus, Vigilance Perennial. Nice. Yeah, they played a decibel fest last year. They did. Or this year, rather. Yeah, this year was this year. Feels like last year. I know. It's almost last year. It's a long time ago. Yeah. That's good stuff. 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:45.100 They're playing with Panopticon here at the end of the month, so I'm looking forward to seeing them. You're up in like Michigan or Minneapolis or something? Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Yeah, he gets to go to Hammerheart. Yeah, I do. Fuck you, man. I love Hammerheart because they just focus so much on smoked beers and anybody who's listening to this podcast or you guys standing around, you know how much I love smoked beers. You guys standing around, he's looking at you, TR. Well, I mean, the first time I went, I didn't even, I didn't, 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.400 I think that's another euphemism. 00:25:13.600 --> 00:25:14.580 I was smoking my cheese. 00:25:19.419 --> 00:25:19.820 Penis. 00:25:21.360 --> 00:25:22.240 There you go. 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.220 Straight to the point. 00:25:24.260 --> 00:25:25.080 Smoking the penis. 00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:25.640 All right. 00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:29.020 Are we on your number 24, Georgie? 00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.040 No, it's me. 00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:30.800 Yeah, it's John. 00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.340 All right. 00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:34.280 So I'm probably going to butcher the most names. 00:25:34.520 --> 00:25:38.640 So somebody correct me, but this band will be here tomorrow night. 00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.140 And I'm going to miss them. 00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:41.340 Replacer. 00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.300 Replacer. 00:25:42.820 --> 00:26:12.740 Do Not Deviate. It's my number 24. They're playing at my brewery, dude. I can't make it. And I know. I really wanted to see Evan, too. I did, too. And technically, I could go, but why are you not? But John's not going to be there, so if John's not there, it's not worth it to me. Fuck you, man. I'm just kidding about that. I don't know. I may go. We'll see how things go. I want to. There's no way I can pull it off. As much as I want to go. You realize that's going to be a soundbite. Yeah. Pull it off every day. As much as I want to pull. 00:26:12.800 --> 00:26:41.820 You're pulling it off every day. Penis. Jesus Christ. Do you have a button for all of us saying penis? Shut the fuck up. Close enough. Exactly. I did actually want to go back through old episodes and look for instances of everybody saying it so I could just go through. Penis. Penis. And just like down the line. Penis. There you go. Now you're going to sound better. That's not good enough. You've got to say it crisp and sharp. 00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.420 Penis 00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:48.320 I'm looking at your penis when I say that 00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:48.900 Penis 00:26:49.800 --> 00:26:51.180 Now I look at John's like 00:26:51.280 --> 00:26:52.040 Penis 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:54.000 Alright 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.100 Number 24 00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.040 Number 24 00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:56.820 Goat Horror 00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.840 Vengeful Ascension 00:26:58.559 --> 00:26:59.080 Alright 00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:00.700 There's the first one 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.180 Yeah 00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:04.520 Even though Will doesn't really make a practice of doing this 00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:05.260 Could you please say 00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.000 24 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.160 24 00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:10.520 Creator of Gods of Violence 00:27:12.260 --> 00:27:12.780 24 00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:42.040 Jesus. Oh wait, that is your 24? Yeah. Dude, 24! What? Have you listened to it? Or do you just like the album cover and you put it on there? I guess 24 is better than 41. Yeah, I just want to note that before I do my 24 that, you know, John and I wanted to do a top 40. And Will was like, I can't do 40. I ain't no 25. He hasn't even had two beers yet. 00:27:43.220 --> 00:28:12.760 And so we stuck to 25. And this morning he's like, God damn motherfucker, I can't get my list to 25. That wasn't this morning, that was last night when he broke up on the hard shit and said, God damn it. I said it again this morning. And he's like, we should do 40. I'm like, well, that ship has sailed, my friend. You realize I'm saying that to fuck with you, but also I'm kind of serious. Because my honorable mentions list is... Because this was such a good year. Yeah, I was just... I told John, I was 00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:41.740 Waiting for us to do honorable mentions. And if you had 15 or close to it, I was going to break your balls hard. Wait, hold on. I'll tell you right now. And because of that, I cut mine down. I have 21 honorable mentions. I have like 27, so as usual, I'll be running long. It's more of like my honorable mentions are in alphabetical order. I did the same thing, too. Me, too. All right. All right. My 24 is an album that I did not think was going to be on here. 00:28:42.800 --> 00:29:12.260 In fact, as recently as last episode, I said there's no such thing as Morbid Angel without David Vincent. But apparently there is, because my number 24 is Morbid Angel's Kingdom's Stained. So let me ask you guys this. If it didn't just drop last night, would it be higher on your list? Possibly. Remains to be seen, but that's a high likelihood, I think so. Yeah, it's pretty tight. And kind of like the Memoriam album, 00:29:12.800 --> 00:29:41.400 a slow tank rolling over everything. It's punishing and just like heavy as fuck. You know you can thank for that. You know what? Probably the best thing for this album. Who produced it? Eric Rutan. Okay, that makes sense. But probably the best thing that ever happened to this album was the previous album. Because just about anything was going to be better than that. It could have been all five of them farting in the album. This is so much better. Number seven. 00:29:42.840 --> 00:30:12.420 for David Vincent when they put out that piece of shit. Yeah. So. Yeah. But you wouldn't want to hold up a candle if they're all farting. That's true. Methane does explode. Yup. All right. Back to Matt for number 23. So for number 23, I will say that this album was the first time I've wanted to wear a basketball jersey in a long time. And that's because they offered it as part of the, um, kind of the, the, uh, pre-sale package. This is dying fetus wrong one to fuck with. No kidding. I can see what we'll wear in that. Uh, 00:30:12.780 --> 00:30:42.720 I do like myself a lot of dying fetus. The band. However, I don't like basketball. So you did get a basketball jersey with that? No, but I was tempted to because it was wrong and then won two for the numbers and then fuck with below it. And I thought, that's just genius. I don't think I look good in a jersey either way. Yeah. I'm not into basketball jerseys. Football jerseys, hockey jerseys, sure. I still don't look good in them, but I'll wear them. You definitely look more like a 2-2 kind of guy. Yeah. All right. 00:30:44.780 --> 00:31:12.540 All right. I don't know if anyone's going to have this. Maybe George might have this on there. No. No. Don't reach for it. I think we talked about this album. Black metal, kind of dark folk stuff from Germany. Son of the Sleepless to the elements. Yep. Yep. That's a good album. It is. I did not listen to it enough, but it is still on my phone awaiting attention. You can't have too much commentary because now we know what is not on your list. 00:31:12.800 --> 00:31:42.420 He's got like 900 albums this year. You and Celtic Frosty are competing, I think. Oh, no. You don't even call him Celtic Frosty? Or whatever it is. Depends where you are in the world. I guess. All right. My number 23. Witchery. I am legion. All the way from hell, Sweden. Number 23? What? Hey, he had creator, like honorable mention practically. Jesus. I could put witchery at 23. 00:31:42.800 --> 00:32:12.740 Jesus. All right. Fine. Just wait until you hear my top 22. Well, that's what's coming next. Yeah. All right, Jay. Perihelian ship. It's a pain, a bird, a fire. Number 23. There it is. Hey, they made it this year. They missed my list last time. Yeah, they did. And that was not a gift to them. I really enjoyed this. And I know they're listening. This album is so much better than the last one. Yeah, trust me. They're listening and we're going to get hammered for it. 00:32:12.800 --> 00:32:13.200 later on. 00:32:14.760 --> 00:32:16.680 Yeah, I wouldn't even listen to that last piece of shit. 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.700 Just listen to this one. 00:32:20.060 --> 00:32:20.460 I'm kidding. 00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:22.400 All right. 00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.400 23. 00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:23.720 Yeah. 00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:27.380 Sorcerer, the crowning of the fire king. 00:32:27.780 --> 00:32:28.060 Wow. 00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:28.340 Nice. 00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:31.680 My lone doom contribution. 00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:33.820 I thought they were like power metal or something. 00:32:34.060 --> 00:32:34.280 No. 00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:34.960 They're doom. 00:32:35.520 --> 00:32:36.080 Traditional doom. 00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:36.540 Nope. 00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:37.520 Trad doom. 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.420 Yeah. 00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:39.420 As the hipsters say. 00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:39.680 Yeah. 00:32:39.740 --> 00:33:09.600 Well, hipsters suck, so. Don't feed the hipsters. Yeah. I saw a t-shirt, like I said. Don't feed them and don't give them any water so they grow. All right, Matt, number 22. Number 22, perihelion ship to paint a bird of fire. Yes. Number 22. Nice. The one that might kind of run the table. I mean, there'll be a few, but this one's going to be hitting some lists here. I think it'll be on all of them. I think there's probably. I mean, it might be on mine. I don't know if we've ever had. It's on my list. I don't think we've ever had. 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:38.160 an album that was on everyone's list. We've always done like four for five. And I'm usually the odd man out. Me or me. What was the one you guys liked that one year? Cattle Decaditation, wasn't it? Maybe. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, we were all like, what's your fucking problem? I think one year everyone loved Cobalt and Thrasenblatt, which should have been on my list last year. Should have been. Alright, we're John now, right? Is it my turn? 00:33:39.740 --> 00:34:09.100 These are friends of ours. We've drank with them. At least Will and I did. Recently. I know who it is. Utkiaru. For darkness to subside. Number 22. What? We got to stop doing that. Yeah, we can't do that every time. We should get the sip element in there too so you get a good spray out. What? Will. 00:34:11.120 --> 00:34:39.639 My number 22, Morbid Angel, Kingdom's Disdained. And I feel that this probably, if it hadn't just come out 24 hours ago, it would have been higher on my list. Top 10 for your list, you think, maybe? I don't know about top 10, but... But that's pretty good if you guys are all putting it on already. Yeah, and just like I said, for me, I mean, it's a return to form of the Tucker years. I mean, it sounds like Gateway and all that stuff, which are great out. 00:34:42.640 --> 00:35:09.060 I album was so bad that this one just looks like a diamond compared to that. But it is a solid good album. I've been listening to it nonstop for the last 24 hours. I wasn't even planning to listen to it because of my whole David Vincent fetish. But I was like, you know, it just came out. Just to be fair, I'm going to listen to it and I'll quickly discount it. 00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:35.860 I did not discount it. I paid full price. So maybe the objective here then is somewhere down the line we like do a revisit to the year of our picks from before and say what did we make mistakes on and what should we put higher or something. Yeah. Like February we'll do like you know 2017 lists reordered. Yeah. Yeah. Because I do think I think I'll be listening to this for the next two weeks. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well then I might not make it for you for January then Jay. 00:35:39.720 --> 00:36:09.660 All right, so you'll put in three weeks. Yeah. Is it Jay? Jay. Oh, God, where are we here? 22. Oh. Friends of the podcast, Temple of the Void, Lords of Death. Nice. Yeah. I listened to that a lot as we were getting up to them, up to the interview, and I've spun it a lot since we talked to them, and I'm digging it. And incidentally, their cover art would have been on my list, too, if it had been the last record came out this year. 00:36:09.740 --> 00:36:39.580 because I like that cover a lot. Yeah, it's pretty wicked. All right. Of terror in the supernatural. Yeah. All right. Number 22. Hate Tremendum. That was a. No, no, dude. Absolutely not. No, sorry. I was. I was. Drinking a beer. You were swallowing. I was swallowing. Gulping and swallowing when you were mentioning that. 00:36:40.120 --> 00:37:09.320 No, that was a latecomer that just blew me away. I really like that one. Yeah. All right. Matt, 21. 21. Sunless Raka, I think is how it's pronounced. Yes. John's nipples just got hard. Yes, finally. Somebody else agrees with me. Well, it's a local group, so I've had the pleasure of seeing them a few times in town. How are they live? Are they awesome? Yeah. Yeah, cool. I figured. 00:37:09.740 --> 00:37:39.580 They got that kind of sound to them. Yep. Excellent. And you're number 21, John. So, Will, this is my Cannibal Corpse band. You like just about everything they put out, no matter what, for the most part. Even if other fans are like, eh, this is my band like that. And I don't think anyone, we haven't even talked about these guys. There's no way it's enslaved and it's this low on your list. You would be correct. Okay. November's Doom. Yeah. And I'll butcher the name. 00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:47.300 I like everything they do it's definitely not one of their best works but 00:37:48.020 --> 00:37:52.160 we all have that one band where we still like everything regardless and they're one of my bands 00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:56.140 that I just I like everything they've done I will say this I did buy the album I liked it 00:37:57.520 --> 00:38:00.540 probably a little too much clean singing for me but one thing I did 00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:05.619 really like which goes back to the clean singing is when they came out with the 00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:09.840 video. That is pretty cool. So you notice that 00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:11.860 it's like their handwriting 00:38:12.180 --> 00:38:13.700 notes back and forth and it's his 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.620 handwriting but 00:38:16.120 --> 00:38:17.160 every time that 00:38:18.740 --> 00:38:19.900 the woman comes 00:38:20.100 --> 00:38:21.100 in to sing 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.840 and then when it goes back to 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:25.780 the heavy harsh vocals it's when he takes 00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:26.500 a shot of whiskey. 00:38:28.020 --> 00:38:29.740 I remember talking about this on a previous 00:38:30.040 --> 00:38:31.720 podcast. No one picked up on that but I 00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.780 did. He takes a shot of whiskey and then it's like the 00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:35.600 harsh vocals come in. I'll tell you 00:38:35.600 --> 00:39:04.840 To this day, Paul still can just crush his harsh vocals. Yeah. And that's almost why I think it's a shame because his harsh vocals are so good. He does more spoken word than he does actually clean vocals, which is kind of weird sometimes, I think. Yeah, I just... But yeah, this album definitely had a lot more of the clean stuff than the harsh, but when it is harsh, and it's still a pretty heavy album. But... Yeah. It's always good. All right, Will? Sorry. 00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:35.540 Texting my wife. She's sending me pictures of my kids. 21? Yep. Obituary. Obituary. And this almost didn't make my list. And then I realized, well, I'm a huge obituary fan. If anyone's listening to the podcast, I love them. But I'm not one of them. Not everything they've ever put out is phenomenal. And it took me a long, long time. 00:39:35.620 --> 00:40:04.720 to keep listening and listening and listening to this album to get it from an honorable mentions onto the list. And I think they definitely have, when you have 20 plus years of music and you come out with something new and like Cannibal Corpse is like that, like the new album, is it as good as some of the previous albums? No. Is it a great album? Yes. Is it obituary, obituary, a great album? Yes. Is it as good as some of the past ones? No. 00:40:05.620 --> 00:40:34.820 But it's still obituary and I still fucking love them. So this was your version of a grower, not a shower? Yes, this was. It grew on me over multiple, multiple listens. That makes me think of the darkness. It's really growing on me. You know that one? You know, like General Warts song? Yeah. What? What are you talking about? The darkness? It was the hit. Didn't he cut his hair finally? I don't know. I think maybe. I don't know. You don't know the darkness? No. You know? 00:40:39.200 --> 00:41:05.560 He actually had a little Devin Townsend in it. Didn't he? Like where? His butt or his mouth? He's a little cheeky. Yeah. Yeah. His cheeks. Pretty Mercury suits. Oh, that's cheeky. Get your hands off my woman, motherfucker. Don't know that? No. I believe in A Thing Called Love. I think that was the big one. They're a little more subtle than Steel Panther. Yeah. Yeah, but they have a song called Growing On Me and it's about genital war. 00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:35.320 Do you really grow and not everyone is more subtle than Steel Panther? They're a little more subtle. A little. Not much. They're a little more polished. Porn is more subtle than Steel Panther. Bad porn is more enjoyable than Steel Panther. All right. Are we to J now? We are. Black Anvil, as was. Should have been in my mid-year and it wasn't. 00:41:35.620 --> 00:42:05.460 But it was one of those records I should have spent more time with. As was. And I did. As was. Okay. My number 21. Bagareth. Adam. Oh yeah. That was a late one, huh? Yeah. Polish. Was that a list buster for you? It was. Yeah. I can't say who got knocked for that one, but somebody did. Somebody got knocked up. So yeah. It's like behemoth type stuff. Yeah. It's from Poland. Sounds like behemoth, but. Yeah. All right. 00:42:05.620 --> 00:42:30.460 Before we get to 20, we're gonna refill our beers. So we'll take a quick break. I got a bath anyway. I'm gonna get another piece of pizza. Yeah. Pee pizza. Pee pizza. Pee pizza beer. I forgot to grab some water. Too much air I think gets in it and that's why it does that. It sounds like a frog blowing something. Or me just hitting the bong during the off. 00:42:39.479 --> 00:43:05.180 Oh, fuck yourself. Why do I want to run into a fart-filled room? I'm sorry. What the fuck? Leave the biggest goddamn fart in here. You're like, I don't know why they're not coming in. Hey, guys, come in here. And they came back and the glasses are empty. 00:43:06.739 --> 00:43:35.560 Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off! You wanker! Wanker! Penis. Wait, are we having this now? Did you just bring it out? No, I just brought it in so we don't have to go back out and take ten minutes. So what are we having to complain? Isn't that the same? Potent. Jay, which one do you want us to drink? Profanum. Profanum. Oh, you got it. It's not a stout, it's a black. 00:43:35.620 --> 00:44:03.940 I hit my bong first real quick. He's blowing a frog, man. The frog is happy. And the whole time Matt's like, what the hell did I get myself into? Isn't that the Gabriel song, Kiss the Frog? Mm-hmm. I think he talks about kissing his frog. That's Gabriel. 00:44:07.180 --> 00:44:07.920 All right. 00:44:09.470 --> 00:44:10.000 Are we back? 00:44:10.540 --> 00:44:11.180 As we're all like. 00:44:11.520 --> 00:44:12.240 Yeah, for the beer. 00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:13.440 We're back. 00:44:13.740 --> 00:44:13.940 We're back. 00:44:14.220 --> 00:44:15.060 We're about to have a beer. 00:44:15.940 --> 00:44:26.640 We are having a beer that I would say 99.999% of all metalheads and beer nerds in the United States have never had. 00:44:28.900 --> 00:44:30.280 Compliments of Jay. 00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:31.580 Thank you, Jay. 00:44:31.820 --> 00:44:32.560 Thank you, Jay. 00:44:33.500 --> 00:44:35.400 Can I just say, I couldn't be there with you. 00:44:35.460 --> 00:45:04.940 It was my way of being there with you in spirits. So we're drinking the behemoth profanum black IPA brewed by Peron in Poland. I really think you're going to think this is pretty special. Swear to God. I hope so. Damn. 00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:33.620 So this is obviously an official beer for Behemoth. They actually make videos of them going to the brewery, throwing in some ingredients, being involved in the brew day, being involved in taste testing. So I give a lot of props. Jay, why don't you give us the story on how you got these beers again? Tell us about your haircut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Briefly. Went to see, well, went to Poland. Yeah, you have no hair, so any haircut's going to be pretty brief. 00:45:36.380 --> 00:46:03.020 And made an appointment to get my haircut at his barbershop. But then I had the good fortune to meet him a week before my trip. Said to him, hey, where can I get the behemoth beer? And by the way, I'm getting my haircut at your place. And he's like, you can get it at my place. And then he made a video to the staff that said, this guy's cool. Give him a bunch of free beers and a haircut. Did you confirm that he actually said that, Jay? Huh? Did you confirm he actually said that in the video? Yeah, my wife speaks totally. She's okay, I was gonna say. 00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:32.880 You could be smiling. He's like, yeah, fuck this guy. Don't give him anything. This fucking guy shows up. Kick him out. He doesn't have any hair anymore. You can't cut that. So they gave me a beer while I sat there, and then they gave me a bag with some beers in it to send me away with. And I honestly, personally found this one to be just delicious. So I hope you guys feel something. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you again, Jay. Appreciate it. Profanum Black Eye Gay. Official Behemoth Beer. Oh, yeah. 00:46:34.420 --> 00:47:03.700 What is good? That's smooth. Yeah, a black IPA. Eh, I don't know. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I like it. Yeah, that's good. Thank you. Yes. I don't know. It tastes more like Cannibal Corpse than Behemoth. I don't know. Kind of a nice switch up too because it's not a big heavy beer, which is kind of nice. But it's... It's got balls. Black evil. Yeah. And it's black as nice. 00:47:05.500 --> 00:47:33.540 All right. I guess we're on to number 20 now. Matt. Number 20, Spirit Adrift, Curse of Conception. Nice. I was wondering if the first one was going to show up. You got to wonder, does somebody get knocked up that shouldn't be? You know? I was like, I fucking curse you, Conception! Oh, I get it. Curse of Contraception. Yeah, lack of contraception. Curse of Conception. You know, I will admit that this is not on my list. 00:47:34.520 --> 00:48:00.880 And I think the music is awesome. The vocals just... Not doing for you. Yeah. Not digging the vocals. Okay. All right, then. John. All right, time for me to butcher another name. And I have to do this every time for Will. This is a black metal band, and they do shoegaze. So the subgenre is referred to as Black Gaze, G-A-Z-E. 00:48:03.780 --> 00:48:25.920 What the sexual orientation of African American men has to do with anything. And that's the same thing I thought when Will giggled like a little kid. Anyway, I think only George and I talked about their near. Will's losing it. I still have a good time. But it's black gays. Shut the fuck up. 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:58.860 He's crying. He's got to breathe. All right. Meanwhile, back at list number 20. All right. So I'll butcher the name here, but I think it's Heretois. I think it's the name. Sounds right to me. Yes. Shut the fuck up. Jeez. 00:49:03.780 --> 00:49:31.340 Nobody has Glory Hammer on their list this year. Anyway, the album's called The Circle. Will, what's your number 20? Glad I'm driving. Number 20, Bereft Lands. What? Bereft. The album is called Lands. Death, Doom. 00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:35.460 Sorry. 00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:37.460 It really wasn't that funny. 00:49:38.380 --> 00:49:39.940 His reaction was what was funny. 00:49:41.180 --> 00:49:41.340 Jeez. 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:42.620 Anyway. 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:44.940 That's kind of how I feel when Clutch. 00:49:45.060 --> 00:49:45.580 That's nominated. 00:49:45.720 --> 00:49:46.340 It's number one. 00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:49.840 Bereft. 00:49:50.080 --> 00:49:52.500 Deaf Doom band out of Wisconsin. 00:49:53.160 --> 00:49:53.740 I think so, yeah. 00:49:54.240 --> 00:49:56.480 And yeah, they're really good. 00:49:56.580 --> 00:50:01.660 My only issue with this, I've said it before, is that there's an occasional clean singer, 00:50:01.780 --> 00:50:29.740 which I don't have a problem with, but the clean singing here seems unnecessary. It seems like a lot of it though, wasn't there? No, it's not that much, but it just seems when it is, it's unnecessary and it's not that good. But the rest of the music is phenomenal. The harsh vocals are phenomenal. That's my only criticism. It would have been higher on my list if it didn't have that one aspect that I personally did not like. 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:31.860 Okay. 00:50:33.560 --> 00:50:33.720 All right. 00:50:33.820 --> 00:50:35.580 Well, I'm about to drop the first bomb. 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:39.080 I think Matt actually dropped the first bomb. 00:50:39.120 --> 00:50:39.900 I dropped the second one. 00:50:40.900 --> 00:50:41.060 Okay. 00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:41.560 Fair enough. 00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:45.600 I do like this. 00:50:45.600 --> 00:50:48.140 I admit it's difficult, but I like it. 00:50:48.460 --> 00:50:49.440 Bellwitch, Mirror Reaper. 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:52.900 Wasn't Bellwitch your number one a couple years ago? 00:50:53.820 --> 00:50:54.040 Yeah. 00:50:54.200 --> 00:50:55.860 And this record doesn't reach that level of great. 00:50:56.020 --> 00:50:56.880 No, I will say this. 00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:57.880 This record's really good. 00:50:57.980 --> 00:50:59.280 It's just that it is. 00:50:59.560 --> 00:51:00.720 It's too much. 00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:01.000 Yeah. 00:51:01.100 --> 00:51:29.380 And you can almost not do it in one listen. But under certain circumstances, if you're driving around on a rainy day or God knows what, it kind of hits you pretty hard. Because it's their memory of their fallen drummer friend. And who was the guy who was the drummer on Four Phantoms. It is really good. It's just, I admit, it's really difficult. But I couldn't leave it off my list. I thought they did something pretty special. I listened to it the whole way through twice when I was at work. But the thing is, you tune in, you tune out. Yeah. Yeah. 00:51:31.100 --> 00:52:01.060 It's just not the day and age for this kind of thing, quite frankly. But whatever, you know. Still gets a nod from me. Fair enough. My number 20 is Cloak to Venomous Depths. Nice. Was that another list buster for you? No, it's been on there. Frankly, I thought this was going to be on my list before it even came out. Because I heard a couple of... Did it just come out like a month ago? Something like that, yeah. But I mean, I've had it on my wish list on Bandcamp for months. And so, you know, I heard it. 00:52:01.120 --> 00:52:31.080 a couple of tracks off it and I was like, this is going to be good. I haven't listened to it enough. I liked it a lot when I heard it, but I just didn't feel like I could put it on the list if I only gave it one or two listens. It did fall off the list briefly, but I was like, no, no, this has to be here. Cool. It's good. It's cool. It's a good album. Yeah. Before we go into number 19, I'll just say for this Profanum Black IPA by Behemoth and Perum, it's fucking smooth. Oh, it is. It's good stuff, right, dude? Yeah. It hits you different than you think it's going to. I think it's because 00:52:31.140 --> 00:53:01.080 I tell you how hard it was to put that in a box and mail it because I only had one and I was like I want to drink this one too I guess my thought is it's more of a black pale ale than a black IPA because I don't really get the hoppiness to it the hoppiness but it's good it's smooth they just released a new one called Walpurgum and I also had one called Heretic and I sent you guys another one but I can't remember what it was called and I have no idea what that one's like it's just a lager 00:53:01.120 --> 00:53:30.360 of some sort. Yeah, we have it here. So what's Matt drinking? I've got a beer called Giant's Bane, which is a double stout from a brewery here called Fair State. I've heard of Fair State before. Yeah, I should hope so. Brewer man. Matt, let's continue with you and find out what your number 19 is. Number 19, another butcher here, Knittinger, the Hilux Against Heaven. Oh, yeah. I think that's about how we pronounce it. Yeah. 00:53:31.120 --> 00:54:01.060 When I first started talking about it, I call it Nadinga. That set Will off, so don't start laughing again. I probably have one good one in me a day. I would go with Nadinga. I don't know. Let's drink some more beers. Maybe George will say Nadinga. Nadinga. I just might. All right, Joe. All right. Another podcast alumni band here, which I was not on for. 00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:07.840 because it was before my time but i like this album a lot flourishing scourge self-titled the 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:13.460 flourishing scourge yes it's a very good album yeah and i did not have it on my mid-year because i hadn't 00:54:13.660 --> 00:54:23.900 listened to it enough and it's gotten a lot of plays this year i just didn't know where to put it on my list indeed all right cool well number 19 00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:51.920 Incantation Profane Nexus. That's so profane. And profound. This album is as good as the profane, not the profane, but the Incantation Mead that we had. Yeah. That you had. I didn't have it. Oh, you know what I had? I had it. Yeah, sorry. But John and I enjoyed it tremendously. It was so good. It was fucking delicious. You guys were pretty fucked up. 00:54:54.480 --> 00:55:24.040 And I was like, oh, should I bring that? I'm like, oh, no, we've all had it already. Damn you. It's okay, Will. We can share it while George is having his other Pliny. Yeah. I was just going to say, that's my redemption there. But anyway, it's a fantastic. Incantation's been around forever. They put out good stuff. Straight up American New Jersey slash Pennsylvania death metal. They're like the Budweiser of metal. Sorry. 00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:54.440 The yingling of metal. That's a little bit better, but still. Go fuck yourself. Shut the fuck up. I don't have a laughing one. I've got a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's a 00:55:54.460 --> 00:56:24.440 I've seen a million times because they open for every black or death metal band that comes through town. They did make a good record. If anybody else likes this, it's going to be Will. Well, George probably, well, you guys might all like it. Anyway, Necrot, Blood Off Reeds. Yeah. Super cool, old school death metal, black metal, more deathy than black. They're getting a lot of talk. They were like number three or four on Decibles list. Yeah. They're on a lot of lists. It's a really good record. It is. Like, I mean, really good. And it could have come out in 00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:53.640 1989 easy. Yep. You know. Now, why wasn't that on your favorite album covers? Because it wasn't. It wasn't. I said, how come that wasn't on your favorite album covers? Because of the album cover itself. Yeah, there's something about sacrificing young kids. Yeah. Now that I have kids, I'm just sort of like. Okay, it was like a bad joke. Okay. I don't know. I've seen it, but I don't recall it. So. It's pretty. It's a greenish color. Yeah, it's actually not that great. No. 00:56:54.460 --> 00:56:59.860 I'm assuming dad in northern darkness has kids 00:57:01.540 --> 00:57:02.700 two yeah I hope so yeah 00:57:04.660 --> 00:57:06.840 I have dogs I have four-legged kids 00:57:09.240 --> 00:57:10.880 I wanted to make a daddy in northern darkness 00:57:11.100 --> 00:57:11.740 there's too many letters 00:57:13.380 --> 00:57:16.960 who's your daddy yeah baby okay uh 00:57:17.580 --> 00:57:20.800 it's me now isn't it yes it's all about you 00:57:20.980 --> 00:57:24.440 all right my number 19 the king is blind 00:57:24.460 --> 00:57:53.880 We are the parasite. We are the cancer. Good one. Yeah. Cool. There you go. There you go. Talk about a letdown. It's pretty good. It's good one. Nice pick. Kind of sucks. Number 18. 18. Number 18. A band I learned of from the podcast and then had the pleasure of seeing a few weeks after that. Kiaru for Darkness to Surside. 00:57:55.360 --> 00:58:24.420 I will say, because Atlas, the brewery, sponsored the tour. And they played it. Obviously, they played at the brewery. It was probably the best showmanship performance I think I've ever seen at our brewery. It was amazing. I mean, they had fans blowing their hair back. They had a fog machine. All that muscular. I mean, it was... They took it all in, too. Oh, yeah. They embraced... 00:58:24.460 --> 00:58:54.000 They do. I'm so bummed. I was still sick from returning from vodka. And I was all like, my leg hurts. My lungs hurt. I have sand in my butt. So you guys got to come back so I can see again. Or right for the first time again. For the first time. For the last time. And they made a music video. And it's shot at a bunch of on that tour. But a lot of the videos that added. Yeah. 00:58:54.460 --> 00:59:23.660 Awesome. Sweet. Okie dokie. John. Oh, my turn. This band's already been mentioned before. Sunless. Araka. I think you told me about Sunless, but for some reason I thought it was from last year. No. It's early in the year it came out. Anything that was before our last list seems like it was last year. Yeah. God, it was so long ago. It sure feels like it. Yeah. All right. 00:59:24.460 --> 00:59:53.880 Number 18, Jupiterian, terraforming, death doom out of Brazil. Brazil. Olé, olé, olé, olé. All right, you can hit the crickets, by the way. No, I know I didn't get a chance to listen to it. No, I listened to it. It's good. Yeah, I know it. Hey, Jay. All right, this guy made a good record this year. As far as I'm concerned, he's still vital. I wouldn't blame anybody for saying this is maybe a little more commercial than we did in the 70s, but Alice Cooper, Paranormal. Oh, hell yeah. 00:59:54.440 --> 01:00:24.300 It was good. It's an entertaining record, man, from start to finish. It didn't even occur to me to list it, but it is an amazing record. Yeah, you did a good job on it. Yeah, I love Alice. All right, my number 18, Woad, Servants of the Countercosmos. Nice. That'll be showing up on a few, I feel sure. That might run the board, too. Okay, number 17, Matt. Number 17, Immolation, Atonement Eye. 01:00:25.160 --> 01:00:53.340 You just made a friend of Will. Number 17! Okay, I just made an enemy of Will. Although I thought Will already said it, so... No. Oh no, that was your album cover. Okay, gotcha. Fair enough. I mean, being that this list has changed about 360 times in the last three weeks, I could say the same thing about that, but a fabulous album. They seem to always be solid. When was your last change? Was it today? 01:00:54.440 --> 01:01:24.280 This morning. Yeah. Oh, I was changing them. Up until I took my son to soccer. Well, anybody who put Morbid Angel changed their list this morning. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, that. So when I was complaining about list busters, motherfucking list busters on the message this morning, it was Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel. I figured it was. I figured too. Yeah. Because I wondered, am I going to be alone in this? No. Because people have a real kind of emotional feeling about them. And this, yeah. And this worked for me, but I didn't know some people are going to be like, fuck, no. I gave up on those guys. 01:01:27.620 --> 01:01:54.420 I wonder if I'll be the only person who has this on here. Probably. No, I don't know. We'll see. That's a good answer. No, this isn't a cricket band. Everybody knows this band. Wolves in the Throne Room, Thrice Roven. No, I just didn't know where to go with it. There's a lot I like about that album. And I've already made my comments on what I dislike about 01:01:54.460 --> 01:02:24.360 that album. It's a short bitch because there was too much space on it. And I was like, well, it is atmospheric black metal. That's usually how they go. The vocals are completely buried. Gays? No, this is atmospheric black metal. You don't know black metal, so that's okay. I'm not saying I hate the album. I'm just saying I have issues with it. Take it up with the band. I would. Give a call. Hey, guys. Could you just maybe not suck a little? 01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:52.380 Decibel-las. Oh, they don't suck. No, of course they don't suck. It made a Decibels list, didn't it? Pretty high, actually. I think it was in the top ten. It's definitely not a top ten worthy album. Not even close. But I thought it had a lot of good moments. Will just popped. Yeah, I thought that was going to pop right into my face for a second. I was like, what the hell? And then I realized it wasn't a beer. I just wish he would stop. 01:02:56.480 --> 01:03:23.380 All right. I think we're on well now, but he's pouring beer. Number 18? 17? 17. Suffocation of the Dark Light. I was surprised that made you list. I was surprised too, but it's a grower, not a shower. I thought it was all right. I was surprised you were so critical of it. Well, yeah. At the first dozen listens, I just wasn't feeling it. 01:03:24.460 --> 01:03:54.420 I started feeling it. Yeah, you know what you like. I mean, that's the way they are sometimes. Yeah. Jay. I think I think Will and I had this more in common than anybody else on the pod. We both listened to this a lot this year. Dope Lord Children of the Haze. Yes. That was this year. That seems like so long ago. It was an early release. It does seem 01:03:54.460 --> 01:04:23.660 It came out on January 2nd or something. Yeah, it was early. I think it was January. Yeah, look it up. I got time. We got time. Yeah. We're also going for the next five hours. All right. I guess I'll do mine and then we'll talk about what we're drinking. But we'll finish pouring so he doesn't drop the bottle. My number 17, Cannibal Corpse, Red Before Black. Nice. I'm just going to say. 01:04:24.460 --> 01:04:24.860 17! 01:04:27.640 --> 01:04:27.940 What? 01:04:28.220 --> 01:04:30.600 Incidentally, Topalord came out on January 16th. 01:04:31.160 --> 01:04:31.240 Yeah. 01:04:31.730 --> 01:04:31.840 Okay. 01:04:32.220 --> 01:04:33.620 So that really got us feeling last year. 01:04:35.080 --> 01:04:35.360 Sorry. 01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:37.980 So what are we drinking? 01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:40.540 No, sorry. 01:04:40.540 --> 01:04:41.440 I want to get back to Cannibal Corpse. 01:04:41.600 --> 01:04:41.900 Oh. 01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:44.820 I'm just more surprised you actually have it on your list. 01:04:44.980 --> 01:04:46.120 Oh, it's fucking kills, man. 01:04:46.460 --> 01:04:47.480 It's not kill, but it kills. 01:04:48.180 --> 01:04:50.160 It is not kill, but it does kill. 01:04:50.540 --> 01:04:50.620 Yeah. 01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:51.920 No, I love it. 01:04:53.860 --> 01:05:23.840 So we are drinking Hardywood Park, buddies of mine, down in Richmond, motherfucking Virginia. And their bourbon barrel aged gingerbread stout. So the gingerbread stout beer is famous for scoring a perfect 100 points on Beer Advocate. And so they just started making it every year and they have bourbon barrel versions. They have like Christmas morning beer. They have rum barrel versions. They have all this stuff. And what I guess we didn't realize, which we 01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:53.100 You're rudely interrupting your number 17. Sorry. Is that I just assumed this was this year's release. And this is 2014 year. Whoa. I didn't realize I was aging it that long. So surprise. Yeah. So yes. Yes. So this is delicious. And I believe we did this last year or the year before. Didn't we have one of these? Yeah. Wow. That's good. Hardywood is. Well, you can correct me if I'm wrong. 01:05:53.880 --> 01:06:21.060 But probably in our larger extended tri-state area, one of, if not the best, barreler for bourbon. Yes. So I would say that... They're one of them. Yes. Some of the regular flagship beers, they're okay. They're all solid, but nothing's going to blow your mind. But their barrel-age stuff is phenomenal. One thing I've always said about them, and I went to brewing school with one of the owners, 01:06:25.019 --> 01:06:53.160 It always tastes like their beers just have a little kiss of the barrel. It's not overwhelming. It's not like you're taking bourbon with a shot of beer. It's always the right amount and they do it very well. That is amazing. That is a good fucking beer. If you can continue to talk about beer for at least a minute, I just got to take a leak. I'm sorry, man. I'll be right back. Why don't you go get a beer? Don't go on without me. I want to hear the list. It's like running water when you're watching. It is noon there now. What's that movie? 01:06:53.440 --> 01:07:23.240 Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. You know that movie? Yes. I love that movie. Remember that dinner scene where he's like, excuse me, can I go to the bathroom? And he's like, yeah, go ahead. He goes, thank you. For all of you that can't see Jay's face. That was perfect. Get a beer. He's going to get up and be like, oh, I think he went to the bathroom. Wow. This is really outstanding. Holy smokes. I did not know that was 2014. I thought it was like a 16 in there or something. I thought it was this year. I have a couple. 01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:52.840 them at home that I bought this year. So that just proves we need to hold onto these for a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I remember liking the other one, but this is amazing. Yeah. You know why? Because I think the bourbon has drowned out the ginger just enough, and the ginger is... The bourbon's not overwhelming. Not at all. It's perfect. This is really smooth and well-balanced. Yeah. Oh, man. Three years old. Come on, Tia. What? 01:07:53.420 --> 01:07:55.620 I need a sump. No. 01:07:57.480 --> 01:07:58.520 Uh, no. 01:08:01.120 --> 01:08:01.780 Yeah, yeah, no. 01:08:03.660 --> 01:08:05.120 I need pee. Give me for my bunghole. 01:08:06.680 --> 01:08:07.820 Still one of my favorite moments. 01:08:08.340 --> 01:08:10.300 Ah, senior beavis. Hola. 01:08:12.820 --> 01:08:13.720 Jerking the penis. 01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:17.819 Jay is my bitch. 01:08:18.700 --> 01:08:19.880 Jay is my bitch. 01:08:22.620 --> 01:08:52.560 So to give you a little history on that TR, literally it was, and I don't think we were together for that. I think we were all separate on that one. Yeah. But at one point, and he says, okay, hold on. George, record this. And he just ripped it off and literally everyone just burst out laughing. We had no idea he was going to do it. He wanted just that one pause so he could say that. Yeah, yeah. No, I listened. That was a, no, I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you keep that in there too? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those guys are real scholars of this pod. 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:55.700 I got a bout of those guys because 01:08:56.299 --> 01:09:00.440 they've been they are serious like they listen to every podcast they know everybody 01:09:00.759 --> 01:09:06.440 yeah they know everybody's like likes and who said what yeah it's impressive ripping on me like oh 01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:12.799 we know will doesn't like us I'm like what yeah it always freaks me out when I talk to somebody that 01:09:12.859 --> 01:09:19.000 listens to the podcast and they like can like be like yeah in this one episode you said this or that and 01:09:19.020 --> 01:09:46.740 And I'm just like, really? I don't remember that. I mean... Because we were drunk. Yeah, well... You don't even think about it again, probably. Yeah, well, I mean... I mean, you might go through the editing phase, but you don't... I'm sure you probably don't really listen to the podcast. Not like listeners would, I suppose. Yeah. And... Plus, I write in a diary as well. You know, it was just the other day. 01:09:49.020 --> 01:10:18.860 I was looking at all the people that listen to the podcast. People that I've never heard of don't know who they are. And when we record this and when I edit it and when I put it up, I don't even think about the people listening. Bands are always like, we don't write the music for the fans, we write it for ourselves. But I literally never think about who's listening and what they think about it. We're just doing what we do. And I'm like, it's almost kind of creepy to me that people actually listen to this. 01:10:20.200 --> 01:10:20.560 Yeah. 01:10:21.220 --> 01:10:21.600 Uh-huh. 01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:25.960 And by the way, 51 people have already listened to the one you posted this morning. 01:10:26.050 --> 01:10:26.480 I know. 01:10:27.040 --> 01:10:28.060 So how do you know that? 01:10:28.060 --> 01:10:29.220 We hold our listeners in utter contempt? 01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:30.420 Yeah, there's stats. 01:10:31.140 --> 01:10:31.340 All right. 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:34.020 Hey, John, did you see what happened at the Bay Bridge last night? 01:10:34.620 --> 01:10:35.220 No, what happened? 01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:39.180 Some truck went out of control and killed a toll taker. 01:10:39.180 --> 01:10:40.500 It was this morning, 5 o'clock this morning. 01:10:40.980 --> 01:10:45.320 But I went to the pictures and it was some band's truck because it was just all this stage equipment and shit. 01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:47.740 I mean, he fucking destroyed one of the tollers. 01:10:48.180 --> 01:11:18.120 How is that even possible? It takes you like a half an hour to get through the maze every time you get there. Well, it's five in the morning, but I think he fell asleep or something because he hit a bunch of cars on the way up. Oh, wow. Anyway. Yeah, we've never seen the maze coming from Jay's side over to the San Francisco. It's just this huge toll area. It's massive. It's gross. Yeah. All right. As we were. All right. Number 16, Matt. Number 16 is a band called X Hum Ed. I'm kidding. It's Exhumed Death Revealed. 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:47.500 You threw me there for a second. Yeah, I was like, what? I was like, I don't know this band. Awesome. Well done, sir. Well done indeed. Thank you. All right, John? So as I told George the other day, I said I was confident with my 1 through 15, and that 16 through 25, I could probably interchange with anything that would even make my list. I would agree with that. But I felt good about my 1 through 15. 01:11:48.180 --> 01:12:14.880 So this is the last one of this list that may or may not have been on it say tomorrow if I really put more time into it but these guys made my list a couple years ago which I'm guessing nobody's really listening to this but that's fine. The band called Spotlights and the album's called Seismic. I like it. It's different. It's kind of doom for Will Gaze G-A-Z-E. Shut the fuck up. 01:12:21.880 --> 01:12:47.720 Okay. Anyway. Will? My number 16. This is an album that I got right when it came out and I kind of just forgot about it for a while. And then I saw Decibels listen. I'm like, oh, let me go listen to that again. I was like, wow, this is really good. Why have I not been listening to this? Necrot. Yay. 01:12:48.160 --> 01:13:18.040 I hope Will would be there with me. That's awesome. No, I really like it. I've been listening to it nonstop ever since the Decibel list came out. I'm like, why is this number three? And I already had it. And then, yeah, it's really fucking good. And if I would have been listening to it since it came out, it may be higher on my list, to be honest. Yeah, if you put it on for 10 seconds, you're like, okay, I kind of got it. But once you listen to it, there's a bunch of killer riffs on there. So I love his voice, too. He's kind of got a Jeff Becerra voice from Possessed a little bit. You really need to. 01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:47.000 You need to pay attention and absorb it. Yeah. Okay, Jay. Pullover from my mid-year Greek band. I think it's a really cool creative record. It's almost an EP, but it's a record in my mind. Locust Leaves, a subtler kind of light. You know, I kind of forgot about that one when I was making my list. And I noticed it again the other day. And I was like, that is a really good one. Yeah, that's pretty slick. Yeah. 01:13:48.200 --> 01:14:17.960 me out every time I look at it. Yeah. I just keep thinking. I was growing up. It was like a nun getting ready to hit me in school. Yes. All right. My number 16. Knittinger, The High Heat Licks Against Heaven. I got to say, their album cover was also in contention because it's just this cool, like, Scandinavian artwork style. Is that like the birds or something on the front? Yeah. 01:14:18.160 --> 01:14:48.140 It's like that really... It reminds me too much of Amorphous's album cover. Right, well it's the same kind of thing. It's, you know, I don't know if they're... It's art on an album. It's the same thing. Yeah, that's it. It's a very similar style, though. Alright, now we're getting into 15. Oh, TR. I think we need to... So we'll start with TR, then move on to Matt. I want to give a little disclaimer here. So most of the stuff on this list... 01:14:48.160 --> 01:15:18.140 Many of you guys don't know me. I know these guys. I like some metal. I'm kind of a mainstream metal guy, priest, maiden, that kind of stuff. Five-Figure Death Punch. No. You're good then. Chevelle, Nickelback. Yeah, no. Slipknot. No. He looked at me like, I'll fucking kill you, dude. I'm not super deep on metal like you guys, but 01:15:18.180 --> 01:15:48.140 So this list is gonna have like a bunch of hard rock post rock post metal type stuff on it so we'll let it slide this time yeah so number 15 for me was the end of the ocean which is a post rock band out of Ohio and this is called the revelator sound sessions this was a basically a rerecording of some of their songs with you know I think it was like one new track so kind of to hold the fans over I guess but I really like this 01:15:48.260 --> 01:16:17.720 I think they're a great post-rock band. I've listened to a few minutes of it. Not enough. But I know what you're talking about. It's cool. The name is familiar to me as well. I may have listened to it. I was lucky enough to see these guys at the Dunk Fest in Burlington earlier this year. Is that like held by Dunkin' Donuts? No. It was the first Dunk USA held in Burlington and a lot of great post-rock bands. It was really enjoyable. 01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:18.120 Cool. 01:16:19.120 --> 01:16:19.680 All right. 01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:21.180 It's worth just going up there just for the beer. 01:16:21.270 --> 01:16:24.620 I don't think anybody on this podcast has ever said the word enjoyable. 01:16:25.440 --> 01:16:25.940 Oh, well. 01:16:27.360 --> 01:16:28.660 I think you're probably wrong. 01:16:28.660 --> 01:16:35.840 There's also just another interesting precedent was just set, which was usually if you join the podcast, as you've joined the podcast, those are the people who say their list first. 01:16:36.780 --> 01:16:40.040 And TR just joined the podcast one hour later than Matt. 01:16:40.050 --> 01:16:42.780 And so now he's the first one to go to the list. 01:16:45.860 --> 01:16:46.820 That's how we roll. 01:16:46.990 --> 01:16:47.260 All right. 01:16:48.040 --> 01:17:17.280 It's easier to remember that way. We have a pecking order. Let's go to the veteran here now, Matt. Thanks. I feel like I've been doing this for so long. TR, I have to ask, do you work in radio? No, I do not. You have a radio voice. Doesn't he? You have the radio voice, man. I wish you would read my list because your voice sounds so much better. It's sultry. Hey, Matt, do you want to text it to him real quick? I will. Matt's number 15 is... 01:17:17.320 --> 01:17:46.420 The Rest of the List. You have a radio voice like you're on at night. You're like the soothing night bird. Smooth jazz. I bet with that voice you would give a good massage. You're never going to find out well. So what happened when he came over then? That's the voice you have. John always likes to say, I swear this really happened. Oh yeah. 01:17:47.300 --> 01:18:16.320 True story. This is a really true story. This really happened. I was in my van one night late at night driving down a deserted road when I saw three girls in bikinis. The old penthouse forums, remember? Oh, yeah. Okay. Matt. Number 15. Black Anvil. As was. As was. As was. As was. As was. Makes it. John? Got this one from Jay. It's a holdover. 01:18:17.320 --> 01:18:46.860 name because I butchered it during the last podcast. Venenum, Trance of Death. I think that's right. I know. I went to Google and I listened to it a couple times. I spent a lot of time on Google going, Google, pronounce this. And then Jay corrects me after I do it. No, I'm joking. No, Jay actually did. I did that one too and I screwed it up. But I saw this on Jay's Bandcamp and I said, that's kind of a cool cover. I'm going to check it out. And I listened. It was like, 01:18:47.320 --> 01:19:17.000 Fuck. This is badass. I'm surprised, Will, you didn't listen to it. Unless it's on your list. I don't think I've ever heard of it. It's on my phone. And I've listened to it like maybe once. And I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. I need to listen to it again. I just haven't. It's in the death metal world. So I figured. Well, see, that's what's funny is I thought I got it off of Will's feed, but it might have been. How do you pronounce it? Or how do you spell? Sorry. How do you spell it? V-E-N-E-N-U-M. Mm-hmm. I need him. I need him. Let me. I have my iPod here for backup. 01:19:17.140 --> 01:19:46.040 and let me see if I have it. But in the meantime, I will go and tell you my number 15, which is all the way from Washington, D.C. Gloom Solaris. Oh, shit. That was this year? Number 15? I actually mean that. I thought that would be higher for you. Sorry, guys. Yeah. I didn't even... I swear that was last year. Well, I would say this. It was officially released this year. It was never released prior. 01:19:47.140 --> 01:20:16.840 I've had a copy of it for probably a year. I'm friends with the guys. That was real early in the year it came out, wasn't it? No, no. It actually came out in June. Did it really? No, now that you mention it. I guess it just felt like it came out earlier. I'm thinking of something else. It came out in June. Officially came out in June. But I've had a copy of the album for over a year, I think, before it even came out. But it's good. 01:20:17.140 --> 01:20:45.800 It's like a blackened death metal. And we saw them at Atlas. Yeah, they played at Atlas. I've seen them a bunch of times. I made beer for them when I was at Fairwinds. What's up, Bill? Yeah. So anyway. Hey, Jay. I don't know if any of us have talked about this record, but it was one that I got out of the box sometime earlier in the year, and it's really good. It reminds me a little bit of Sog. 01:20:47.120 --> 01:21:17.040 a little bit more proggy, not proggy, but just a more, what's the word I'm looking for, concept album feel, Leviatar, self-titled. Yeah, that's another one you mentioned that I put on my phone and listened to a little bit and thought it was good enough to keep on my phone, and it's still on my phone, but I just haven't listened to it enough. Yeah, it doesn't go a million places, for lack of a better way of putting it, but I really like his voice. This guy's got this sort of unique sounding voice, and it's also just kind of this emotionally cool metal stuff. Yeah, good stuff. 01:21:17.140 --> 01:21:47.100 Excellent. My number 15 is Farsot and Failure. Nice. You said fart. Fart. Farsot. Farsot. This is a good album. In the Marine Corps, you call your sleeping bag a fart sock. Well, I don't call my number 15 a fart sock, but thank you. All right, back to TR for number 14. Okay, this is another post-rock, post-metal band, Russian Circles. They released a live album called 01:21:47.200 --> 01:22:15.060 Live at Dunkfest. I've heard of Dunkfest. This is the European version of the Dunkfest. Ah. Dunkfest? No. No. Dunk. Got it. All right. Matt. Number 14. Pierron. What passes for survival? There's another one I meant to listen to. You know what drove me nuts is they just played at Atlas and I did not get a chance to see the show. 01:22:17.140 --> 01:22:46.820 They were just at our local Eagles Club with Sunless in Iwata. And yeah, I almost didn't make it, but I was glad I had a chance to go. They sounded great. Awesome. Eagles Club, like as in the Fraternal Order Eagles? Exactly. Wow, they have shows there. That's awesome. You know, we walked in and I used to go do karaoke there, which is another horrible experience. And by that, I mean for the people that were there to listen to me. But we walked in and we walked into what I thought was a wedding. And this band was playing. I thought, well, maybe the opener is just a little bit lighter. 01:22:47.140 --> 01:23:14.820 And then I realized, no, that is like an actual wedding going on. I went further down the hall and then there's actually where the show went. This place is just hopping for nightlife. What is your go-to karaoke song? Oh, man. Usually something by The Doors or Bob Dylan. Nice. I can do Dylan, yeah. Yeah, bugs. Yeah, exactly. It's hard to mess that up. Yeah. Yeah. All right, John. My number 14. 01:23:17.140 --> 01:23:47.080 Maybe. They're kind of a newer band that I just found. Wormwood. Moon Curse. Nice. Was that, is it Wormwood or Worm Witch that was on Decibles list? I think it's Worm Witch. Yeah. And there's two Wormwoods too. There's a US one, which I think is yours. Yes, they're from Boston, I believe. And then there's another one that's like Greek or something. They call them Wormwood AD or something like that. They don't. But in my collection, I labeled it. 01:23:47.140 --> 01:24:16.900 This band is Wormwood US. Just so that I can tell the difference. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing when you look on Bandcamp for a band and it's like, oh yeah, there's like 20 bands by the same name from all different places. What's funny to me is when you come across a band with a name that's been used, but it's like a really big name. Just for example, another band called Morbid Angel. Yeah, I mean, there isn't one, but I mean, it's like, you really haven't heard of this band to maybe not use their name. 01:24:17.140 --> 01:24:17.680 Come on. 01:24:19.280 --> 01:24:22.460 Wyrmwood is not an instance of that, but there are some that I'm just like, really? 01:24:23.540 --> 01:24:23.860 You know. 01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:25.900 Yeah, I've seen it a few times. 01:24:27.100 --> 01:24:38.080 All right, well, my number 14, and this, I think this has dropped down on my list only because I listened to it so much, I kind of got fatigued by it, but it's still phenomenal. 01:24:39.020 --> 01:24:42.060 Dope Lord, Children of the Haze from Poland. 01:24:43.820 --> 01:24:45.000 Hit your bong, dude. 01:24:46.700 --> 01:25:14.820 You want to announce it again, Will? Children of the Haze. Lest you think John is actually hitting a bong, he's actually sucking on his water bottle that makes a very bong-like noise. I put too much water in so I killed the airspace in there. All right, Jay. Sorry, George. Electric Wizard. Wizard Bloody Wizard. Shut the fuck up. 01:25:15.740 --> 01:25:45.000 I saw that coming. It's good. I like it. It's good. I like it. So, the teach is on, man. So, Jay, you like that. Now, how come that didn't make your top five album covers this year? Hubba, hubba, hubba. Yeah, well, I'm not going to get behind that. They do usually have pretty cool covers, but that one is just bad. Yeah. Yeah. I took it with a Polaroid. It's like, okay, that's good enough. Let's go. All right, my number 14, the only other album on here that's not black or death metal other than 01:25:46.860 --> 01:26:14.200 John's looking at me going, is he going to say it? And he is. Vor, in this moment, we are free cities. Good man. Annika. Yes. Jay, what are you doing? Like you loosen up your jaw like you're going to blow somebody. We're in the home stretcher. I'm okay. I've had some problems with the right side there for some reason, but I'll let it go. We'll put the penis. Stop laughing so much. 01:26:15.020 --> 01:26:43.600 That's right. That's right. That's a rough night last night. It's all coming together now. The Oakland Raiders were happy, but... Marshawn Lynch is a beast. He was gentle and attentive. I don't know how I can follow that. 01:26:45.020 --> 01:27:14.800 Just follow it with number 13. With another band from Dunkfest. So, no. Actually, this is not a proper release, but it is something that did just come out. And it is a metal band. It's Opeth. And the live and plopdiv Bulgaria CD that just came with the latest Prog magazine. I have that one, too. Yeah. Of course you do. Wait, there's a Prog magazine? I'm not trying to be an asshole. Oh, yeah. It's huge. Okay. It's part of the classic rock. 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:44.980 It's up there with Metal Hammer. It's that group. They do do a good job with their magazines. And I would bet you that this particular episode sold quite a few. Oh, nice save. That was a very good catch. That's not bad for only number 14. My only issue with it is the years are apparent. Some of Mike's singing, but it's still 01:27:45.020 --> 01:28:13.680 Very cool to hear. One, because we know someone who went to the show, but it's very cool just to hear them playing at that venue where they did play, which is an old, I guess, is it an old Greek theater? Well, I don't know. It's an old theater-style type setup with stone seating. Right. And, you know, when I looked back, I saw the Catatonia special edition of Fall of Hearts with the second disc. They did the same show. They did the same, yeah. Actually, a bunch of bands are playing there now, so. Yeah. 01:28:15.020 --> 01:28:44.920 Pop that puppy. All right, John, we're about to open this. Why don't you tell us about it? So I know a lot of people are down on this. Down with the sickness? After we drink this, we'll all be doing that. I think Will and I are in agreement on this, about this brewery, that we're disappointed where it's ended up, but we still do drink this beer. Because they got bought out? Not because they got bought out, because they're being destroyed. 01:28:45.040 --> 01:29:14.840 from within, unfortunately. It's kind of metal, though. Because they were bought out. Yeah. Yes. So in the end, yes, George. But anyway, this is a 2016 version of Bourbon County Stout. As much as I love this beer and I hate the fact that AB & Bev owns it now, I still think it's worth trying. And this is 2016, which is good because of 2015 with an absolute shit show of infection. Yeah. Can't wait to try it now. No. 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:44.860 The 16s are much better. And I've heard that the 17s so far has been pretty good this time too. So this is not like it was prior to AB sticking their big fat fucking nose into it. But it's still, I think, a good beer. And people probably should still drink it despite their reservations about AB. And I agree with them about AB. So basically the deal with Goose Island is that they said Anheuser-Busch, 01:29:45.040 --> 01:30:13.620 Bought them. They said nothing's going to change. The next thing you know, like a year later, that all the flagship beers from Goose Island are now being made at Budweiser factories. Poorly. But I think this is still made at the Fulton Street plant in Chicago. So I think it's still being taken care of, brewed by, sell by Goose Island employees. 01:30:14.140 --> 01:30:14.300 Yes. 01:30:15.040 --> 01:30:44.000 Even though we're all kind of dreading the day that this might... I'm just gonna fill up my glass and whatever is left there that you guys can have. And I should state that this at one point was like one of the... I wouldn't call it a white whale, but it was definitely a beer that most beer lovers went after every year when it came out. Yeah, people lost their minds for this shit, waited in line. I know TR and I have had... Oh, God, I hope there's enough. I know TR and I had the 2013 at my house, I think. 01:30:44.540 --> 01:31:13.380 And somebody brought the 2009. Didn't you and I have that wheel somewhere? I think. With Looch, maybe? Probably. And the 2009 was just... I never had anything that good. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. I don't remember the years as much, but... I only remember because it's by far the one that stood out the most, so... Matt, what do you got? I am still in the fair state. I will get rid of that quickly. Jay, what do you got? Okay, so George, what do you got? 01:31:16.240 --> 01:31:44.500 Jay, seriously, I don't think you've had a drink in the last 10 podcasts. I haven't. Here's the thing. This is the truth. I had this thing called this huge bottle of this stout last night called Prairie Bomb. I had one. I also had some Hollowed and then I had this other thing called What We Do Around Town or something like that. This big can of this really hot. Then I looked back at all of them and they were all like 10% 01:31:48.580 --> 01:32:14.400 So that was like 10 minutes of my last night. So what are you complaining about? Well, the prairie bomb was the big one. But also there's a Christmas bomb I noticed. Weirdly enough, I saw a prairie bomb at the local store just sitting there. I'm like, how is this just sitting there? Yeah, they're showing up everywhere now. That was the first time I ever had. It's like a Mexican style. It's got a cinnamon. 01:32:14.520 --> 01:32:43.880 and peppers and all kinds of stuff. It's delicious. Yes. Yeah, it's really good. So I know we're on number 13, but where we are, I haven't. I think it's John. No, Matt. Did you get your 13? Number 13, Wolves in the Throne Room. Thrice Wolven. Yeah. Suck it, fuckers. Whatever. That was almost a spit take for Matt. I just wish he would stop. Oh, keep saying. John, could you say that after every one I do? 01:32:44.540 --> 01:33:14.480 She would stop. Penis. Yeah. After every math pick. Penis. Matt, what shirt do you have on? Kettle decapitation. Nice. Yes. From the most recent tour. Anthropocene Extinction. That's right. Okay. There's a half second there. It's like, oh shit, they put something else out that I didn't remember. Oh no, you missed anything. I think I would know that. 01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:15.620 Okay. 01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:17.820 John, 01:33:18.260 --> 01:33:48.120 All right, Jay, be ready. I might need a correction. Wait, T.R., did you do your 13? Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. I started here. Sorry. Be ready, Jay. You might have to say this for me. I got you back. Tell me how I do. Number 13 from Jay's hood. Comorant. Diaspora. Diaspora. They got it. Yeah. Yes. I think you can pronounce it diaspora and it's still correct. Well, the word actually is actually about people who have left the country that they were in. You know, the words of diaspora is, 01:33:48.260 --> 01:34:16.680 people who live out in other places. So it's a good word to mispronounce. Because it's probably mispronounced all over the place. You know what I mean? With the... All right, Will. My number 13. Glossin Grimen. Death Doom out of Sweden. Yeah, they're cool. Yeah, I dig them. Yeah. I forgot about that one. I've probably forgot a lot about this year. Yeah. So... All right, Jay. 01:34:19.140 --> 01:34:46.580 Someday I'll convert you guys to this band. Trollfest, Helliva. Oh yeah? Not today. Oh yeah. Jay, send it our way and we'll get back to you. Just put it in the box. With a bottle of Pliny. Jay, I'll listen to all the Trollfest you want. That would be awesome. 01:34:48.680 --> 01:35:17.720 All right, my number 13. I'll cue the crickets. Morda A Stigmata and Hope. Nice. Oh, we got one. I haven't. No, I haven't. Those are Polish. Yeah, see, somebody's got some taste. Fuck you guys. Those are my people. I was going to say something nice, but fuck them. Okay, I'm sorry. Please, please, carry on. Fuck them. Have you guys noticed that Poland is coming on strong the last couple years? It's in all music. 01:35:17.780 --> 01:35:47.460 It's every genre. They've got tons of bands. Death, Doom, Black, whatever, you name it. Poland is a forest. They're strong. They've got a lot of prod bands, too. Trust me. It's all over the map. Some of my people, too. Yeah, you can tell by my nose. I thought you were just related to Jay. No. No, that's pure Sicilian right there. Si, si, senore. 01:35:49.980 --> 01:36:17.580 The three of you, seriously. Jesus. I hadn't even noticed. You know when you buy those little joke glasses, the Gracho glasses with the mustache and the nose? I always did that too. I save money on the nose. I just buy the glasses. Seriously, I was just going to say, that's my entire face right now with these glasses. Oh, wait. That's your real face? 01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:22.980 Shut the fuck up. 01:36:27.140 --> 01:36:32.120 The rule is if we're not making fun of you and joking with you, that means we like you. 01:36:32.480 --> 01:36:34.820 Or if we're not like you, that means we don't like you. 01:36:36.080 --> 01:36:36.440 Wait a minute. 01:36:37.640 --> 01:36:38.540 We don't like you. 01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:39.340 No, we like you. 01:36:39.340 --> 01:36:40.180 You don't not like me? 01:36:40.300 --> 01:36:40.640 Wait a minute. 01:36:40.960 --> 01:36:41.420 We love you. 01:36:41.560 --> 01:36:42.440 You complete me. 01:36:43.380 --> 01:36:44.180 That backfired. 01:36:45.320 --> 01:36:46.260 All right, number 12. 01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:48.620 This is a metal band. 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:53.440 I like you have to preface it. 01:36:53.720 --> 01:36:54.540 This is a metal band. 01:36:54.740 --> 01:36:57.300 Yeah, well, you know, this just came out. 01:36:57.580 --> 01:36:59.020 Iron Maiden Book of Souls Life Chapter. 01:36:59.800 --> 01:37:00.160 Right on. 01:37:00.780 --> 01:37:01.060 Wow. 01:37:01.640 --> 01:37:01.860 Whoa. 01:37:02.240 --> 01:37:02.340 Yeah. 01:37:02.920 --> 01:37:03.520 That's a lot of burden. 01:37:03.540 --> 01:37:06.760 The only person here that supports me in my Iron Maiden Book of Souls Love. 01:37:08.580 --> 01:37:09.220 I don't know about that. 01:37:09.220 --> 01:37:10.980 I don't know if you remember from the Lost Maiden tapes. 01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:12.200 I was not a fan of that show. 01:37:12.780 --> 01:37:13.980 Yeah, I think we remember that. 01:37:13.980 --> 01:37:14.520 Yeah, we all got that. 01:37:14.600 --> 01:37:42.740 I don't remember. That was pretty clear. Yeah, you don't. We remember. Actually, you. We still have the stains. That was a clear point, though, that you made, which was you didn't not like it. Yeah, I just. You just didn't feel like it was above and beyond. Yeah. And because only because Maiden is held so high. Yeah. That I just thought it was a little flat. Anyway, we don't have to revisit that one. Yeah. Yeah. But if you want to, you can listen to it. No. No. 01:37:46.620 --> 01:38:14.520 We're going to have the lost tapes 2.0. Yes. The outtakes. The will outtakes. I did edit stuff out to protect the guilty. Hold on. Hold on. Maybe this is the ring bell. If you need a little lube with that. I'll just stop right there. That's good. It reminded me. He reminded me of J. Mews. Like, I don't know what it's from, but he's just walking around the room. 01:38:14.620 --> 01:38:15.440 I'm humping everything. 01:38:17.940 --> 01:38:20.860 Have you looked at you guys? You are sexy bitches. 01:38:21.310 --> 01:38:23.840 Dude, I was wondering if you were going to hump the dude in front of us in the seats. 01:38:26.460 --> 01:38:26.960 Maybe his camera. 01:38:26.960 --> 01:38:27.440 He was cute. 01:38:28.340 --> 01:38:29.940 Holding his phone up the whole goddamn show. 01:38:30.250 --> 01:38:30.360 Literally. 01:38:30.550 --> 01:38:31.560 We should probably go to Matt. 01:38:32.380 --> 01:38:33.260 Yeah, fair enough. 01:38:33.280 --> 01:38:33.480 Thank you. 01:38:33.820 --> 01:38:34.300 Thank you, TR. 01:38:35.220 --> 01:38:35.940 Thank you for saving me. 01:38:37.960 --> 01:38:38.360 Number 12. 01:38:38.620 --> 01:38:40.140 My number 12, Belphegor. 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:42.020 I believe it's pronounced Totem Ritual. 01:38:42.280 --> 01:38:42.540 Totem. 01:38:42.680 --> 01:38:42.860 Totem. 01:38:42.900 --> 01:38:43.560 Totem Ritual. 01:38:44.300 --> 01:39:13.220 Taten Ritual, pardon me, that's a typo on my part. Oh, I like Totem Ritual. No, that's a great album. It is a great album. Taten means death in German. I like to rename the album titles to what I like. So it's death ritual. Taten Ritual. Taten means death. Are we speaking Deutsch? Ja. See? See? Did you just say, you may love you long time in German? 01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:42.760 I'm going to take my own meaning out of that, but carry on, John. All two inches. I'm going to get a number 12 here. 01:39:44.840 --> 01:40:13.320 Temple of Void, Lords of Death. Nice. And I... There's no doubt it's a top tenner. It's just, I like all... Like I said, my top 15, I loved all those albums. It's just really hard to... My top ten has not moved. It's an immovable force. It's hard. An immovable object, rather. And an unstoppable force is being stopped by it. 01:40:13.340 --> 01:40:43.320 Maybe Unstoppable Force be with you. Yes. I have to say as a deaf Doom band, they are... I mean, I'm a huge November's Doom fan, but these guys are right up there for me now in that genre. They're unbelievable. And they're super cool guys just as they are. Last episode. Yes. What I loved about the last episode, which no one has... Well, if... Maybe. By the time this post... 50 some odd people have heard it so far. But what's great about it is Jason the drummer in all their band photos looks like the most pissed off dude who will fucking tear your head off. Yeah. And when we were talking to him, he was... 01:40:43.340 --> 01:41:13.300 The nicest guy. Yeah. He's like, I'm coming to your brewery drinking with you guys. Yeah, he's like the super nicest guy. He was like, yeah. Well, that until he told you what he wanted to do with you at his job. Hmm. Yeah. He wanted to get, he, uh, he checks for, uh, cancer in your, yeah, just, nethers. Oh, right. He wanted to give you a colonoscopy. Well, I would say he wanted to. I think he offered. I haven't, I think he wanted to. I've never had one. 01:41:13.380 --> 01:41:17.820 I have it ain't fun boy if everyone could just see this moment if I'm like 01:41:18.060 --> 01:41:18.960 what did he say 01:41:19.550 --> 01:41:20.720 I was like I don't remember 01:41:21.080 --> 01:41:22.120 uncomfortable for a minute there 01:41:22.360 --> 01:41:24.700 well yeah because it's an uncomfortable thing 01:41:26.180 --> 01:41:29.320 the best part is at the end they don't let you leave until you fart 01:41:31.240 --> 01:41:33.600 you gotta fucking rip one out for the nurse 01:41:34.090 --> 01:41:34.200 yeah 01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:36.060 cause when they're doing 01:41:37.160 --> 01:41:38.140 can we stop 01:41:38.180 --> 01:41:39.560 can we stop please 01:41:40.480 --> 01:41:41.919 we've already heard you fart 01:41:41.940 --> 01:42:11.340 Here comes Will with number 12. So, my number 12, Hideous Divinity, Advent... Advent... Advent... Advent... Advent... Okay, so what they do is... Shut up! Jay, hit the button. Hit the button. Shut the fuck up! 01:42:14.580 --> 01:42:41.860 I discovered, you know, like last two years ago, Behemoth was like a band I discovered. I didn't really know Behemoth before that, at least not enough. This year I had a discovery moment with this band. They've been there forever. For whatever reason, I haven't touched too much. For that reason, I love this new record very much. Saw him a concert, they were bitchin'. Cannibal Corpse, Red Before Black. Nice. Nice, that's a hot one. Yeah, and I went out and bought everything, so. Everything, really? Big fan, well, not everything. There's a couple, I'm sure. 01:42:41.940 --> 01:43:10.700 All the ones you should have had is what you're saying. Nice. Yeah, yeah. Good stuff, man. I'm a huge Cannibal Corpse fan now. Yeah, they're unbelievable. Oh, yeah. All right, my number 12 was just mentioned. Temple of Void, Lords of Death. Nice. Nice. I'm running the table on that one. I see a top 10 starting to formulate. Is that two so far? Three? No, that's four. Is it four already? I have not mentioned it. 01:43:11.940 --> 01:43:41.580 You mentioned it, Jay? Oh, you haven't. Okay. I did. Oh, you did. So it is four, then. Matt, did you mention it? I did not. You mentioned it in the covers. I did. Yeah, that's right. We're confusing ourselves. I don't know. It's not hard at this point. What beer are we doing? After bourbon beer is the, you know. All right, number 11 for me, Leprous Molina. Ah, somebody had to say it. Sorry. It's not even metal. I know. Well, it's more. Did you hear what he said, John? I know. 01:43:41.940 --> 01:44:11.880 Yeah, but I was going to say it's more metal than clutch. Whoa! Touché, douché. Yeah, touché, douché. I preface this with the fact that it might not be metal on this list. No, sorry. But if John is so fond of saying they are Isan's backing band. Yes, they are. There's a metal pedigree right there. John loves to say that clutch is not metal, and I love to say that leprous is not metal, and the fact that you said they're not metal, and John says, they're more metal than clutch, just re-furns. 01:44:12.220 --> 01:44:41.880 That clutch is not even hard rock. I don't disagree with you on it, actually. I do think it's their least metal album of their albums. Definitely. I would agree with that. So it's like rap. God, no. No, no. Synthwave? Ain't nothing wrong with Synthwave. Synthwave. And now here's Matt with number 11. What about... Thank you! This is why we have T. 01:44:41.920 --> 01:45:09.800 We are here. Wait, I think we've got ourselves an emcee here. You're like the umpire, the emcee. And now coming to you live from wherever we are. Here's the host of the show, George. Say my name to you. And now George Washburn and Metalhead's podcast. Thank you. That's really good. I need an applause. You're going to have to clip that and use that. 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:15.080 Say my name. 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:17.520 You don't have to. 01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:18.000 No. 01:45:19.800 --> 01:45:20.200 Denied! 01:45:21.700 --> 01:45:22.880 Is this a Guardians of the Galaxy? 01:45:23.360 --> 01:45:24.180 Do me! Do me! 01:45:26.340 --> 01:45:26.960 Do me. 01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:28.120 Ew. 01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:29.340 All right. 01:45:31.320 --> 01:45:31.820 Where are we? 01:45:32.080 --> 01:45:34.800 I just realized that one thing that's going on in this podcast. 01:45:34.940 --> 01:45:37.200 I asked for Matt to do his number 11, but go ahead. 01:45:37.460 --> 01:45:37.780 No, no. 01:45:40.480 --> 01:46:10.400 I'll actually play the podcast occasionally when my kids are in the car. Not this episode. No. There's been what, like 20 not the, shut the fuck up? Shut the fuck up. Matt, how old are you kids? Six and eight. Okay, yeah. Still too young for this. Yeah, you're not. We're saying that, we keep saying that Clutch is not metal, but I wanted to ask you, do you feel like Clutch Powers is metal? Lego Clutch Powers? I don't know what that is. Toys? You kids don't watch that? Oh, kids. I didn't do that. 01:46:10.500 --> 01:46:39.460 I don't minding the Lego stuff. Oh, I'm not. Will looks confused. I'm so confused. Sorry, is Clutch Powers a TV show? A Lego? It's like a Lego cartoon. No. They like Legos. My kids like Clutch. Unlike John. So my kids are cool. Unlike John. Just for the record, I don't mind Clutch at all. I just give a little shit because he started on me about Opeth. It's kind of like, I actually like Opeth. I just give John shit. I don't mind Clutch at all. 01:46:40.480 --> 01:47:09.800 But John doesn't like Cannibal Corpse. No, I don't mind Cannibal Corpse either. I don't like Glory Hammer. What? No one likes Glory Hammer. Wait a minute. Wait, so can you say that again? No, there's a couple people. Number 11. What were we saying? And now Matt with number 11. Thank you, TR. Numer Elf, creator, gods of violence. Nice. Nice. Hey, there we go. Hey, there we go. Hey, that was a three. 01:47:10.480 --> 01:47:40.400 For Creator? Jay, Matt, and did you say it yet? No. Oh. Yet? At all? No. We'll see. Who's number one? I think you mean nine? No, it was eleven. I see what you were doing. Having my own little fun. John, number eleven. Alright, this is a list buster for me because I just heard about this. Thanks to our friend up north. 01:47:41.480 --> 01:48:09.600 I'm going to butcher this name completely. So if anyone can help me, if they know it, maybe George's the only person knows it. I think the band's name is Have. Oh. I don't know. I don't want to say it. I would say Have or Hive. Hive. Maybe we could get our friends from Perihelion Ship to do this for us. Yeah. Come on, Yanni. Help us out. And I don't even know how to say that. Well, the I has like dots over it. Two dots instead of one. It's all over the place. So it's usually a long pronunciation. Yeah. 01:48:11.460 --> 01:48:40.440 I-A-T-O-N, I think. It's named there a folk metal band, and I would not have put this on my list had Greg not included me on it. I listened to it. I listened to it a little bit. I just haven't... I've never got through it, so... It's good. In the vein of Wilderun a little bit, but more on the pagan black metal side kind of thing. Folk metal side. I just had a vision of one of John's next coming 01:48:40.480 --> 01:48:41.700 John's on your chest. 01:48:41.910 --> 01:48:42.860 Yeah, finish that sentence. 01:48:42.950 --> 01:48:43.100 Sorry. 01:48:45.900 --> 01:48:48.460 I know something that's later coming. 01:48:48.660 --> 01:48:51.240 Is this a George steamer or something? 01:48:51.540 --> 01:48:51.760 Jeez. 01:48:52.420 --> 01:48:53.300 Shut the fuck up. 01:48:55.260 --> 01:49:03.180 I'll take this opportunity to give a huge shout out to Greg, Gregory and Rick, who are always sending us recommendations. 01:49:03.480 --> 01:49:04.000 Constantly. 01:49:04.800 --> 01:49:04.940 Yeah. 01:49:05.920 --> 01:49:08.280 99.9% of the time, they're spot on. 01:49:08.340 --> 01:49:12.280 because I think they listen enough and they know 01:49:12.350 --> 01:49:14.440 that I think this person and this person will like 01:49:14.540 --> 01:49:15.980 this and they don't include people that don't. 01:49:16.840 --> 01:49:18.080 They never include John. 01:49:19.480 --> 01:49:20.320 I do get 01:49:21.660 --> 01:49:23.580 missed a lot on stuff but that's okay though. 01:49:23.980 --> 01:49:26.280 Well I think their tastes are more like the Black Death 01:49:27.400 --> 01:49:28.500 stuff. Greg does send 01:49:28.760 --> 01:49:29.640 stuff quite a bit my way. 01:49:30.240 --> 01:49:32.380 Shout out to those guys. Thank you. 01:49:33.420 --> 01:49:34.680 They're just good feeds to follow 01:49:34.900 --> 01:49:36.399 too. There's a few good 01:49:36.420 --> 01:50:05.640 Listener Bandcamp feeds we have that I'm just like, dude, I did not know about this record. Oh, actually, I do look at everything I post. Yeah, I just see what's going on. Yeah. Yeah. All right. My number 11. Beheaded Beast Incarnate all the way from Malta. That's what it sounds like. Where is Malta? Malta is an island in the Mediterranean. Oh, well done. 01:50:09.540 --> 01:50:35.620 But listen, if you guys like Niall and you like Behemoth, this is another band that's kind of like right in that vein. And so... Niall and Behemoth are nothing like each other. I was thinking the same thing. I would slightly disagree, but... I would mostly disagree. Minus the whole Egyptian influence thing, you know, and the black and deaf. The sound of them. Anyway, fuck faces! 01:50:36.420 --> 01:51:01.700 Behemoth is technically a death metal band I suppose but they got a kind of a black influence and Nile definitely does not but it's it's shut up guys it's similar shut the fuck up wait hold on you can use my drop for now on shut the fuck up all right I will gouge out your eyes and skull fuck you use that for a drink now like Arnold now was that uh Nile or Behemoth? 01:51:09.100 --> 01:51:35.880 Wait, Jay's not even drinking. Yeah, I know. He's putting us to shit here. Jay is by far the funniest person on this podcast. My number 11. I wanted to work this into the top 10. I still think it's a really good record, but it just wasn't quite top 10 worthy compared to some of the other stuff. Goat Whore, Vengeful Ascension. Just couldn't quite get into that top 10, but I do like it. I think that's another man that may have some top 10 podcasts. 01:51:36.400 --> 01:51:37.440 I think so yeah 01:51:37.970 --> 01:51:38.080 yeah 01:51:40.420 --> 01:51:40.860 alright 01:51:41.180 --> 01:51:41.880 that was really weird 01:51:42.340 --> 01:51:43.440 what is going on here 01:51:43.440 --> 01:51:43.940 there's a beer 01:51:44.060 --> 01:51:44.540 going on 01:51:44.660 --> 01:51:44.920 yeah 01:51:46.160 --> 01:51:46.760 after I 01:51:46.800 --> 01:51:48.180 after I do my number 11 01:51:48.420 --> 01:51:49.100 we have to 01:51:49.500 --> 01:51:50.160 definitely refill 01:51:50.340 --> 01:51:50.880 for the top 10 01:51:51.090 --> 01:51:51.900 the great thing is 01:51:51.900 --> 01:51:52.500 I have the cooler 01:51:52.610 --> 01:51:53.220 in the room now 01:51:53.320 --> 01:51:54.140 yeah I have to dispose 01:51:54.440 --> 01:51:54.680 and then refill 01:51:54.680 --> 01:51:55.840 we'll start pouring bitch 01:51:56.200 --> 01:51:56.400 yeah 01:51:56.900 --> 01:51:57.980 yeah let's do your 10 01:51:58.080 --> 01:51:58.720 and then take a sec 01:51:59.480 --> 01:51:59.680 hey 01:52:00.860 --> 01:52:01.580 my number 11 01:52:02.680 --> 01:52:04.100 this one's for Sergei 01:52:05.500 --> 01:52:06.380 nocturnal mortem 01:52:08.540 --> 01:52:35.700 I'm glad it worked its way on your list. That's a good record. That's a fucking awesome record. He's going to be mad it wasn't your number one. Yeah, I know, I know. But hey, come on. Sergey being the guy in the band? Yes. Yeah. All right, fellas. That restroom and stuff real quick? Yeah, pee break and beer. I gotta go tinky. Wow, maybe we should have done a gingerbread style and a county factor. Feeling that? 01:52:36.800 --> 01:52:38.180 What? 01:53:00.440 --> 01:53:03.620 This is so much better than I expected it to be. 01:53:03.740 --> 01:53:04.340 That's good. 01:53:04.540 --> 01:53:05.140 This is awesome. 01:53:05.380 --> 01:53:07.679 I was worried you were going to be like, "Yeah, this is so bad." 01:53:10.540 --> 01:53:11.700 Let's have some beer. 01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:15.060 Beer's good. 01:53:15.760 --> 01:53:16.060 Beer's good. 01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:20.780 Drugs are bad. Beer's good. 01:53:21.280 --> 01:53:22.080 Thanks Mr. Mickey. 01:53:29.740 --> 01:53:30.300 What's this? 01:53:30.500 --> 01:53:31.180 It's the Metal Monkey? 01:53:32.260 --> 01:53:32.900 Metal Monkey. 01:53:37.140 --> 01:54:03.020 This is Red Ass Baboon by Metal Monkey. Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Red 2017. I picked this up at Metal Monkey Brewery earlier this year when I went out to the Chicago area. They have some really good beers out there. This was the only one that they had on bottle, so I grabbed it and brought it home. I see on the side of the bottle there's a monkey throwing horns. Yes. 01:54:03.120 --> 01:54:31.440 That is their logo. It's on the side. Turn around. He's like, fuck it, Moodle! Jason James is one of the owners of Metal Monkey. When we had the Craft Brewers Conference, when we had the Tap Takeover for True, we had the Desa Beer on at Atlas Brew Works. Did you see my hoodie today, by the way? Did you see my hoodie? I saw your hoodie. 01:54:33.140 --> 01:54:59.600 Worship Doom. So anyway, Metal Monkey came out and participated in our Metal Knight, threw together the playlist. So good dudes. And they make good beer. Let's try it out. Fill her up, bartender. Jesus, you're so pushy. Yeah. There you go. Fuck you! 01:55:04.360 --> 01:55:31.560 Sucks to be here. No respect. I get no respect. I tell you. You look like a fucking impersonator extraordinaire. We got Frank Caliendo sitting over here. In your endo. Oh, I get it. That was good. Three, two, one. Yeah. 01:55:33.140 --> 01:56:02.520 All right, let's talk about metal. Did you really not give him any? Yeah, give George a little bit. Give George a little something. Mm-hmm. Sir, may I have one more? Mm-hmm. All right. All right. TR, number 10. Number 10. So, wait, this is the top 10. We're in the top 10. Top 10. And this is a metal band. 01:56:03.120 --> 01:56:31.100 This is a middle band I respect because they are super huge fans of this podcast. And it's Perihelian Ship. Yeah. I'll drink to them. Do you know how hard I've been trying to get TR? Yes. George, I'm sorry, John has been working on me on this album. And, you know, initially I had a little trouble with the vocals, but you know what? This album is outstanding. 01:56:33.140 --> 01:57:03.080 You had trouble with the vocals on this album? No, no. Like when I first listened to them. To the last album. To the last album. And I feel like the vocals made a really big leap on this album. Yes. And just even from a song and everything, everything about this album is I feel like is a big leap for them. And so. Especially now that I have a new keyboard player. Ah, Yachty. You're an asshole. He played on the album. On top of the fact that this is a good album, when I listen to these guys, 01:57:03.140 --> 01:57:32.300 on the podcast, I just thought, these are really stand-up dudes. I really like these guys. They're awesome. They're fun. Yeah, they really are, and I just like these guys. Anyway, number 10 for me. Excellent. Nice. Matt? My number 10, I believe, has been mentioned a few times. I like to refer to them as Necro-T, and the album is Blood Offerings. That sounds like something Jay would drink. Necro-T. 01:57:41.500 --> 01:57:43.060 Okay, that puts us to John. 01:57:43.280 --> 01:57:46.020 All right, so this is a holdover from my mid-year. 01:57:47.020 --> 01:57:48.940 It's a cricket band. 01:57:50.420 --> 01:57:50.600 Awesome. 01:57:51.040 --> 01:57:52.220 Do you want to do it before and after? 01:57:54.480 --> 01:57:54.960 There we go. 01:57:55.240 --> 01:57:56.760 Leading in with the crickets and... 01:57:58.060 --> 01:57:58.860 The band is? 01:57:59.240 --> 01:58:01.060 The 13th Sun, Stardust. 01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:31.580 They're a progmental band from... No, I like them. Did you actually listen to it? I did, I like it. Yeah. It's got a little bit of opeth in them, though, but they got their own thing going, so it's cool. Excellent. Will. My number ten. Hate Tremendum. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. George is raising the roof right now. I am, so is Will. I thought we were going to do a Facebook Live so people would see how ridiculous we are. I just had too much other shit going on. 01:58:31.680 --> 01:59:00.340 too much stress to try. Yeah, we heard it earlier. It was escaping from methane gas at your ass. Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, Facebook Live sounds like a good idea right now. Yeah, maybe we'll try that in the middle of the year. Hold on, let me finish my 37th beer and I'll be ready. All right. Jay. Lots of comments about this one already, so don't have to say a lot. Woad, servants of the counter cosmos. Yes. 01:59:01.680 --> 01:59:29.480 No, there was actually only one comment earlier. Has it only been on one? Yes, mine. It'll be on some more, I think. I don't know. I don't know about that. I don't know. I mean, we are getting up into the high numbers here now. Yeah, we're running out of real estate. It's getting expensive. Yeah, and so it's sort of like... The runway is running out. Getting weird up in here. All right, my number 10. 01:59:31.680 --> 02:00:00.320 For Darkness to subside. Yes. They made the top ten. Squeaked it in. And rightfully so. Number ten? What? That's a good album. Oh, that's awesome. Yep. I bet that would have been number nine had you fucking pulled the sand out of your ass and showed up to the show. I cannot. Wait, so going to the show would have moved them up one spot? One spot. 02:00:02.220 --> 02:00:31.020 It's almost not worth the drive. So you saved yourself some gas money. All right, T.R. was such a good show. It was. Fuck you guys. Wait, that's my line. Shut the fuck up. All right, this is not a metal album. This is Jane's Addiction, Ritual de Dele Habitual, live at 25. So I enjoyed that one. It's cool. I like Jane's Addiction. 02:00:31.660 --> 02:01:01.400 It's not all middle for me. So one is addiction. Did they perform that album in entirety? Did you go see it? But this year? I did, yes, actually. But this year, like 25 years later? So this album was released this year, but I think the recording might have taken place last year. Okay, all right. So that's a gray area. Yeah, I'm not sure exactly when it was recorded. No, no, no. I'm just curious if they did it. They played it in its entirety, yes. 02:01:02.600 --> 02:01:29.760 Actually, I like them much better as a live band than I do on an album. I think they're heavier. I think I saw them at Lollapalooza one time. You and I have seen it twice. And Three Days, I gotta tell you, whenever you see that live, it is incredible. But their drummer's awesome. It's a great, dude. That is such an epic fucking song. I love that record, the original record. I haven't heard the live thing. But Three Days is just fucking monumental. That takes you to a whole other place, man. It's a really cool tune. 02:01:34.480 --> 02:02:01.620 All right. I think I'm wearing that one out. Yeah, I don't think so. I love that. You could do that all day. That's cool. All right. Better not be a shitty album when you do it. Yeah. Are you implying that that was a shitty album? No. All right. He's smiling, though. I'm smiling because we're drinking a red baboon's ass. I'm starting to smell like that in here, too. That's not my fault. We should ask if Matt's moved on. Do you have a new beer? 02:02:02.680 --> 02:02:03.840 Yeah, I'm drinking, 02:02:04.620 --> 02:02:05.860 the beer's called Phantom Hand 02:02:06.060 --> 02:02:06.820 from Drecker Brewing. 02:02:07.000 --> 02:02:08.880 I believe they're out of Fargo, North Dakota. 02:02:09.240 --> 02:02:09.500 Fargo? 02:02:09.540 --> 02:02:10.080 Coffee Pale Ale. 02:02:10.220 --> 02:02:11.120 Ooh, Phantom Hand. 02:02:11.360 --> 02:02:12.140 I know, Will's like, 02:02:12.220 --> 02:02:13.360 where can I get a Phantom Hand? 02:02:14.920 --> 02:02:16.720 Just lean a little closer to the table 02:02:16.840 --> 02:02:18.280 and George will take care of that for you. 02:02:18.780 --> 02:02:19.060 All right. 02:02:19.640 --> 02:02:20.340 Hi, John. 02:02:23.660 --> 02:02:25.040 Somewhere there's like a podcast 02:02:26.340 --> 02:02:26.900 like directory 02:02:27.740 --> 02:02:28.960 and under ours, 02:02:29.000 --> 02:02:30.020 we have a little like E 02:02:30.040 --> 02:02:59.840 and it says homoerotic undertones. I don't think undertones. Overtones. Less subtle than Steel Panther. It just says homoerotic. Matt is like, can we get the number one thing? Get out of here. So sorry, Matt. Nah, fuck that. You're in, man. You're done. You're in. No, my number nine. 02:03:00.020 --> 02:03:30.000 I especially like my number nine because I did not know of this band until we were at Valken and we were hunting for Sergey and we were looking for a man in the Nocturnal Mortem t-shirt and after we found him and had that discussion I had to run out and find this album and Jay I know it was on your mid-year and it was not all what I expected but I completely fell in love with it Nocturnal Mortem very well yeah it's getting a lot of hits so you know what I really was I was god I was like I hope some people here on the pod check this out as the end so I'm so glad it's made it mission accomplished it really 02:03:30.040 --> 02:03:59.320 It's an exemplary record. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. So get will be pleased. So get will be pleased. With some of us. Have you heard air compressor? No, no mayhem. Yeah. I'm going to be the first one to mention him. I don't know if I'll be the last, but I'll be the first. Enslaved E. Number nine. Yeah, you'll be the last person to mention him. 02:04:00.040 --> 02:04:28.620 Fuck you. Maybe the last person on this side of the table. Jesus. Alright, fine. Well, whatever. Bitches. I don't see many people mention this one. Alright. Number nine. Number nine. Utkiaru. For darkness to subside. Sensing a band is moving up the podcast list right now. God, it's such a good album. 02:04:30.040 --> 02:04:59.840 I expect that's like the last one I took by the way if you would have saw live they'd probably be at number nine. Get it now. Get it now. I like that. But I do like as George pointed out that it's just one notch. Dude that would have been way up on number nine. You went to a lot of work just to get them to number nine. But I will say again man what an incredible show they put on. It was amazing. All three guys were great to hang out with. 02:05:00.020 --> 02:05:29.940 Oh yeah, which we, we, cause I got there early. I thought, Oh, I gotta get there early. It was like, there's just you, me and them. Yeah. That would be Zach and Dustin and Noel. Yeah. Yeah. No, we had a great time hanging out with them. Oh God. I think we ended up outside drinking with them for a while. And for a three piece, it sounds like there's like seven musicians on stage. It's like, it's a, they each have like 12 hands. Yeah. Well, actually, okay. Since it's saying that, seeing them live with them, then push them from 10 to nine. I expected you to say, 02:05:30.040 --> 02:05:58.460 And for a three piece, they sound like a fuck. With a biscuit. Well played. My number nine, my buddy John in Texas, who will no doubt listen to this show, didn't attach, didn't like this one as much as I did, as much as their last one, but I thought it was great. Witchery, I am Legion. Oh, number nine. 02:06:00.040 --> 02:06:29.820 I like it's a great record. John, since you are, I know, listening, I want you to know that you haven't read Will's review of the vulgar display of power because he's holding it up right now. They're going to drink it today. We're going to drink it. Next one. Next beer. It's like an old malt. Is it vulgar display of penis? Penis. Penis. As John was deep-throating all two inches of it. You know, 02:06:30.780 --> 02:06:59.840 That's all I can do. So, George, you know, if you're looking for alternative work, you can always be a, you know, call in line. Right. You know. Just got a message from Joel. Is he here with his top ten? No. His top ten albums that he should check out next year. He put together someone who's listened to ours, which was brilliant on his part last time. George, no. 02:07:00.040 --> 02:07:30.000 Number 9. This one fell far from number... From mid-year. From number 8. This was... Fell pretty hard from number 9. At mid-year, this was my number 1, but it's now number 9. Tombs, The Grand Annihilation. Wow. It's been a good year. That's a shit show for you. Yeah. No coffee for you. All right. TR. All right. I like... 02:07:30.060 --> 02:07:33.160 weren't big on this but i thought it was an improvement god 02:07:36.580 --> 02:07:46.120 uh mastodon emperor yeah i know oh yeah also not a metal album you should have started yeah right this is not a metal album 02:07:47.300 --> 02:07:52.400 but i will say it's better than their last two i agree with you on that i'll give you that i don't know 02:07:52.800 --> 02:07:59.220 oh yeah to the last album it's just i agree with will i don't know jay i'm all i also agree with you 02:08:01.340 --> 02:08:29.200 I said I agree with you too at the same time. It's heaping pile of shit after heaping pile of shit. But wait, it was nominated for a Grammy. Oh, shocking. It was nominated for a Grammy. You know why? Because it's not a fucking metal album. Because Jethro Tull put an album out? Yeah. Sorry, Jay, you were saying? Well, it's not on the metal. It's in the rock category. No, it's not. No, it's in the metal. Wait, wait, wait. You're all Metallica's in the rock. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. But there is no... 02:08:29.220 --> 02:08:59.200 There is. When I scrolled through it, all I saw was Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock. It was August Burns Red and Mastodon and Meshuggah and Body Count. Code Orange. Yeah, Code Orange. Fuck it. They fucking suck. Apologies to anybody that might have that on their list, but they fucking suck. I would say of all those, Body Count. Like the half rap guy from Ice-T. Yeah, I mean, I like it. That's what's so sad about the 02:09:00.280 --> 02:09:29.200 And then Metallica is in the rock category. Well, they should be in the rock category because they fucking blow big floppy docky dicks. The song Sultan's Curse is nominated for Best Metal Performance. The album is nominated for Best Rock. And that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Oh, so wait. It really is. So the other nine or ten songs are the rock songs and Sultan's Curse is the metal song. Nobody ever said the Grammys were 02:09:30.200 --> 02:09:59.160 What a stinking pile of shit the Grammys are. Yes. Yeah, the only thing stupider than the Grammys is the rock and roll of fame. Thank you. All right, TR, number eight. Yeah, I just did that. You did? Oh, wait. Sorry, sorry. I had no idea that we caused this much foment. I think that's a hit. I had a little so much fear. I think that was a hit. There's a couple bands you can mention on this podcast. 02:09:59.240 --> 02:10:29.200 that will incite a tangent. Metallica, Mastodon, or two of them. Or Clutch. Clutch. TR, I think he was asking for a different number, right? Oh, sorry. Mastodon. He's going to stick with Mastodon, I guess. From now on, you do all your lists in Beavis and Butthead mode. Yeah, my number seven is... 02:10:29.240 --> 02:10:58.760 All right, Matt, then I guess. Number eight, Spectral Voice, Eroded Corridors of Unbeaten. Nice. Will will be happy with that. Indeed. I like it. Me like it. Long time. Okay, John. So I don't know if Will has this on his list, but you think he would at least listen to it because they are from Australia. I do like Australia. George knows that I like this band because we've talked about it before. 02:10:59.240 --> 02:11:28.420 I think I sent it to everyone. I think Jay talked to him a little bit on our Facebook chat. Get on with it. All right. Hypergina, Father Sky. I was going to describe what it was, but now that you don't care, Bucket, just find out for yourself. Fuck me. I'm sorry. My kids are definitely not listening to this episode. So the penis episode was okay, but this one's not. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. 02:11:29.240 --> 02:11:57.380 used sometimes in schools. Jerking the penis. Jerking the penis. Jay is my bitch. It's so precise and deliberate is what makes it even funnier. My number eight. Space Slug. This is a double one by the way. We got a twofer. They released two albums this year. 02:11:59.240 --> 02:12:28.840 Space Slug Time Travel Dilemma released in February. Then Space Slug released Mountains and Remittance in September. Is one a live album or are they both in the studio? Both studio. TR, you may want to check these guys out. I think you would Space Slug. Yes. Think of the doors, but spacey, cosmic, atmospheric. Doomy. Dooms. Not metal. I'm just kidding. Is there a heaviness there? Oh, yeah. Kind of heavy. 02:12:29.240 --> 02:12:58.800 It is. Cool. All right. Space Slug. Do you like Star Wars? Yeah. Space Slug. No, that sucks. I don't know. Could be a Trekkie. Yeah, you could be a Trekkie. Maybe by Psy. I am. Look at all that Star Trek over there. By Psy. By Psy, man. I swing both ways. Star Wars and Star Trek. Actually, I do. I do. I'm into Captain Jim Kirk. No. 02:13:00.740 --> 02:13:28.700 Shut the fuck up. John, what does the T in James T. Kirk stand for? Oh, that's easy. Yes, I know that. I don't know. Todd Berius. Todd Berius. That's a good name. Titties. Titties. Big green titties. Oh, come on. Everybody remembers the green chick behind the door. Yeah. I think I like this show. All right. Where are we, Jay? Jay. 02:13:29.240 --> 02:13:57.800 Number eight. Nocturnal Mortem Verity. Wow. Verily. It's another band that's going to be on the podcast list. Yes. Again, Sege will be pleased. Number eight. Belphegor. Totten Ritual. Nice. I think it's another one right there. It snuck in there, huh? No, I didn't sneak in there. I was sitting there with a bullet, man. It's been in there the whole time. Never left. The whole time for the last month? No, at least like a month ago. 02:13:59.220 --> 02:14:28.960 for one. Well, George has had it before. He had it before he got in the box. So, by the way, I'm sure it's been in the box, you just didn't look at it. No, I think you hold shit. I think you had Cannibal Corpse in the box for like a month and like, oh. Let me tell you how it goes. Hey, Such and So is a really good album. Oh, really? Cool. Yeah, I'll put it in the box after I'm done listening to it. After I've done listening to it for a fucking month, 02:14:29.240 --> 02:14:58.740 I'll put it in the box you fucking asshole. I get busy and forget and I'm like wait what did that get in the box? I have been neglecting the box a bit this year. Yeah. Yeah get in there. Yes. It's because I forgot I have to get it in MP3 format for you fucking losers. You can put it in the you can put it in the what's it called? So one to say something when you said you've been neglecting the box. I was kind of trying to work my way. He was too busy bashing his computer I think. 02:14:59.960 --> 02:15:26.460 Why did my tongue so hard? Get in the box. What's in the box? Nothing. All right. Yeah. Okay. This is not a middle band. This is actually a warning. So wait, Mastodon has a second album. Actually, yeah, the EP. That didn't make the list. So this is a Spanish post-rock band called Australia. 02:15:29.240 --> 02:15:58.100 And they released an album called Solstice. And it's quite good. I have not heard of that. If you're a post-rock band. I like post-rock. Yeah, I do too. I'll have to check it out. Cool. I got a lot of time after this podcast because I'm a little burned out on listening to all these albums right now. Yeah, like I was saying, it's nothing but Christmas music, Devin Townsend, and classic rock from here on out until the new year. And Morbid Angel. And Morbid Angel, apparently. 02:15:59.220 --> 02:16:28.220 And about nine other thousand metal bands that we're not saying. Okay. Matt. My number seven. I'm going to butcher this name. I believe they're called O. D'Souza. A-U-D-E-S-S-U-S. An album is called End of Chapter. They're like a Lithuanian post-metal band with kind of a black influence. Yeah, I've got that. I'll have to check that out. I like that. For sure. 02:16:29.220 --> 02:16:59.160 For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. All right, John. These guys dropped a little bit on my list, but they're a holdover from the mid-year. Woad. Service of the Contour. Woad. And I still think they have my song of the year, which is the second song in the album, but I can't remember what it's called. Oh, that fucking riff is cool. I love that song so much that I can't remember the name. I'll never forget all of its name. 02:16:59.219 --> 02:17:28.260 I don't remember the name of it either, dude, but the riff on that song is just fucking brutal. With all the feedback before it, it's just... Yeah. It's very... It's a monster. It's very enjoyable. All right. What are we on? Seven? Seven. Yeah, man. XDO, The Immortal Wars. God, I love that album. I'm a sucker for history. I've said it a million times, and... It's good. Yeah, all about Hannibal. And elephants? 02:17:29.540 --> 02:17:31.400 They have elephants like 02:17:37.040 --> 02:17:38.200 That's what elephants do 02:17:39.519 --> 02:17:42.880 It just seemed appropriate you start talking about history just the elephant says 02:17:43.120 --> 02:17:46.679 It was just one of those Sunday afternoons like I'm gonna watch this history channel show 02:17:51.579 --> 02:17:52.019 XDO 02:17:52.859 --> 02:17:53.940 And I do like the album 02:17:53.990 --> 02:17:55.599 Aren't they touring with a hologram right now? 02:17:57.219 --> 02:18:26.980 Oh, X-Dio. That's a good idea. It's spelled with an E. I know. All right, Jay? This was one that ended up being kind of a list buster for me because it was a late entry, but this is a great record. Slaghead, Thanatanat. Ooh, that's up there. Wow. Thanatanat. Kind of localish boys from Hampton, Virginia. Hampton, Virginia. Down there by Newport News. Yeah. Nawhaka. 02:18:28.360 --> 02:18:55.719 Okay, Virginia Beach, too. Yeah, whatever. It's all the same area. I, my number seven, Deep Calleth Upon Deep Satiricon. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. That was a given. That was an epic fail. Fucking Satiricon, man. That should have been an album cover of the year. 02:18:57.219 --> 02:19:26.980 on there just to fuck with you guys. Wow, is it terrible? It's really bad. It's like the mock-up that they gave the artist to actually make the cover. We want something like this. It was the Edward Munch, the guy who did the scream, but it's not good like that. That guy's still around? No. It's old, but... They got a lot of crap for it, but whatever, the music's awesome. Was that really? 02:19:27.240 --> 02:19:48.700 That was the Edward Munch thing? Wait, they took one of his old paintings? Yeah. It was just like a drawing. Got it. It's like black and white. It looks like his brother Butt did it, right? Yeah. Butt Munch. You know, we've had a lot of people in that. 02:19:57.859 --> 02:20:27.080 Why have you held on so long for that one? I don't know. That's for me. Yeah. It's like that one. The only other one I haven't really played is... You know, salt really hurts when it goes on your chapped ass. Is that you? Why the fuck did you say that? I don't know. We were drinking and I don't know. One thing led to another. Do we have any more beer? Yeah. 02:20:27.220 --> 02:20:56.740 Are you kidding me? I said that. We're about a third of the way through. And we only have six selections to go. So the next thing that we will drink, I haven't even popped it yet, is vulgar display of power. Russian Imperial Stout brewed with vanilla bean. Compliments of Jay's friend, John in Texas. Thank you, John in Texas. Thank you, John in Texas. We really appreciate it. 02:20:57.220 --> 02:21:27.120 We got two bottles. One is to share and one is for me. Two brew heads on. This is, oh, it's a quaint 14% alcohol bottle. Holy shit. Don't worry. It's a small stubby bottle like a, like a, like a NyQuil bottle. Like George. Hey, so it's a tree trunk of power. Shut the fuck up. But it kind of looks like a red stripe bottle if you're familiar with a red stripe bottle. So it's not a lot. 02:21:27.220 --> 02:21:57.200 I'm sure it's infinitely better though. Speaking of John, I just ordered him a Metalheads Podcast t-shirt today before the podcast. You had to order it? I ordered it, yeah. Where's mine I asked for? What happened to the 500 shirts that we bought before? We didn't buy 500. We bought like 12 and we gave them away. I'm proud of one of those. But hey, if you want a shirt, we're selling them at cost because we don't make 02:22:00.159 --> 02:22:27.120 I pay like an extra 5% so we can make some money off of them. Yeah. But, uh, so if you want one and your XL or less, it's 24 95, XL or bigger, bigger than XL. It's a, it's a couple extra bucks, but hit me up. Let me know. And, uh, I will order them as they are requested. So let me know. And John, John's a good guy, by the way. And he, by the way, you can find John. 02:22:27.720 --> 02:22:55.220 He's a good friend of mine. We should have him on sometime. He also sent me one of the vulgar displays at Does Pack a Punch. John's a good guy. Will was just insulting him. No, sorry. I was trying to say John and I really meant to say George on Grindr. He says hit him up on Grindr. Oh, man, that's thick. Okay, wait. Hit him up on Grindr. Oh, boy, that's really thick. 02:22:57.240 --> 02:23:25.880 It is stuck dude. Wait, so you hit up grander too then Jay is what you're saying. Jeez. Oh boy, this top six is gonna be something. Jay is my bitch. Jay is my bitch. Oh boy. Alright, let's keep talking. Yes, Jay. Whose turn is I guess it's a long time of the water. I'm pouring the beers because everyone has to pour a beer here today. Jeez. Alright. So where are we? 02:23:30.759 --> 02:23:34.340 It's not a metal band. 02:23:37.140 --> 02:23:38.880 Well, cheers on the beers, fellas. 02:23:39.100 --> 02:23:39.440 Thank you, John. 02:23:40.400 --> 02:23:40.700 Thank you, John. 02:23:41.220 --> 02:23:41.800 Thank you, John. 02:23:41.900 --> 02:23:42.560 Thank you, John. 02:23:42.980 --> 02:23:43.580 Not this John. 02:23:43.660 --> 02:23:44.200 The other John. 02:23:44.340 --> 02:23:44.960 Texas John. 02:23:45.120 --> 02:23:45.680 Texas John. 02:23:49.460 --> 02:23:49.860 Yowza. 02:23:50.040 --> 02:23:50.340 Yes. 02:23:51.020 --> 02:23:51.200 Woo! 02:23:53.439 --> 02:23:55.480 That is all a 14%. 02:23:56.060 --> 02:23:57.080 That shit is hot. 02:24:00.261 --> 02:24:26.820 We have not had a beer yet, other than the Pliny, that was not like black as night. This is, yeah, this is quite viscous. Oh, English. Viscous, like fiscous? Yeah. All right, my number six. I thought it was viscous. This is not viscous. This is Mogwai, Every Country's Son. Mogwai. Yeah. Another. 02:24:27.120 --> 02:24:57.080 Another good post-rock band that I like a lot. Is that like the name of the Gremlins? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty nasty. Yeah. Wait, what is Janet Jackson? I actually saw them in concert one time in PR, but it was only because I wanted to see ISIS open for them. Ah, yes. It was the Oceanic tour of sorts, and they opened for Mugly. That album is freaking awesome, Jay. Huh? Oceanic is awesome. I love that album. Oceanic is awesome. 02:24:58.020 --> 02:25:27.060 They came up just to do this one show with Mogwai just because they got added to the and I was fucking great. Yeah, that's very cool. Matt, what's your six? My number six goat whore vengeful. Nice. Awesome. Yes. More of those on there. Wait, I've had goat whore. Jay, have you had them yet? Yeah. Yeah, that was my 11. No, not yet. Dropped off. That one hurt, man. That one hurt. 02:25:27.140 --> 02:25:56.200 I thought we were too high for it for George. It was very it was probably within 15 and it just dropped and it fell off because it just did. There's a lot of good shit this year. That's all I got to say. That's all I have to say about this. That's all I got to say about that. But I really like it. John is really hitting that thing. Yeah. 02:25:57.140 --> 02:26:27.100 Dude, you gotta drive. Exactly. Alright. Maybe I'll surprise George with this, but George is the only other person who had this on their list. If you are in this moment, we are free cities. Wait, in this moment? Yes, it's called in this moment, we are free cities. Cities. Each of the songs record in different cities. Yeah, it's metal. Yes. Metalcore. No. It's just. It's Annika 02:26:27.140 --> 02:26:56.160 Girsbergen from The Gathering. And she sings with Devin Townsend. She is more metal than TR. Most people are. She might be more metal than you, Will. Yeah, she might be. She's more metal than all of us. She's pretty damn metal. She's pretty damn hot, too. And she can sing. Yep. Like anything. Like anything. I see what you do with that. We're on number six? Yeah. Is it my turn? It's your turn. Immolation! 02:26:59.961 --> 02:27:02.220 I like the difference between your 02:27:03.000 --> 02:27:03.740 pronunciation of both of 02:27:13.461 --> 02:27:20.140 I won't Terry with my moment here I'll just go straight into it far sought fail yes 02:27:22.340 --> 02:27:24.120 way to go sir fart to suck 02:27:28.119 --> 02:27:54.020 How do I not have a fart sound effect? With George's six, we push on into the top five. What do you got, Georgie? Witchery. I am legion. All right. Which dropped. If you will believe it. Really, it dropped. I was just going to say to you, because when you said you listened to it, you literally said I'm three songs in. This isn't just list worthy. This is high list worthy. This was in contention for number one. Whoa. Easy. It's good. 02:27:54.120 --> 02:28:22.600 But hey, but six is still pretty good. I can't wait to hear what completely obscure band that no one's heard of that like synthwave that is your number one. Dude. I don't think so. My top five is fucking solid, bitch. Yeah, and I think me and George are the same on one. I really do. John Carpenter, volume 47. Hey, album hits, movie hits. I like John Carpenter. You know, I guarantee his top five is Lady Gaga, Madonna. 02:28:25.500 --> 02:28:53.860 What else did you see this year? Hall and Oates. Hall and Oates. Tears for Fears. No, I like Tears for Fears. U2. Yeah, I saw U2. God, I saw a lot of not metal this year. Yeah, you probably saw more not metal than metal. I think you're probably right. That's weird. Yeah, but it balances out Valken because at Valken he saw all the metal. I saw all the metal, yeah. And a lot of mud. We didn't see all the metal. You saw some of the metal. 02:28:54.120 --> 02:28:56.200 No, yeah. I mean, there were 120, 02:28:56.500 --> 02:28:58.600 30 bands there, and we saw like 30 of them. 02:28:59.140 --> 02:28:59.940 That's pretty good, actually. 02:29:01.520 --> 02:29:03.400 That's actually pretty good, if you think about it. 02:29:04.380 --> 02:29:04.480 Yeah. 02:29:05.360 --> 02:29:08.320 Matt, how the hell do you have two kids, 02:29:08.720 --> 02:29:10.300 and you got a pass to go to Vaken? 02:29:11.159 --> 02:29:12.100 Tell me your secret. 02:29:12.380 --> 02:29:12.840 And not even once. 02:29:12.990 --> 02:29:14.600 This was, what, fourth time? 02:29:15.400 --> 02:29:16.260 This is my fourth Vaken. 02:29:16.720 --> 02:29:17.580 What is your secret? 02:29:18.540 --> 02:29:19.880 You're not married anymore, are you? 02:29:21.300 --> 02:29:21.500 No. 02:29:21.960 --> 02:29:22.700 Strangely enough, I am. 02:29:22.840 --> 02:29:23.660 I don't know how it is. 02:29:23.760 --> 02:29:53.020 I'm working on what that algorithm, what that formula is. Please tell me. As soon as I figure it out, I will mass text it to you. Write in a fucking book. New York Times bestseller. What's in that is you don't figure it out because you don't want to fuck it up for yourself. Well, you know, he told me that he said he knew she was the one when she was okay with him going to Wagen every other year. I had gone once before I met her. And then when we started dating, I was going again that summer. And she said, well, you know, if you want to go every year, you can. 02:29:53.060 --> 02:30:22.400 And then, like, George, the music you've been playing in the background, the angels singing, like, this light came down. She is the one. So I said, well, how about every other year? And she's like, oh, of course. Yeah, so I got to go to the jewelry store right now. So I think I speak for all of us here on those odd years where you're not going. There's a little city called Philadelphia. 02:30:23.080 --> 02:30:52.560 And there's a thing called the Decibel Fest. Well, there's that, but then there was, there's Pittsburgh too. Yeah. Pittsburgh is a great city. And it's closer to Minneapolis. It's true. But there'll be, but the Decibel Fest. Like good, good, good beer. Really good beer. Metal beer. Hashtag. Jay and Will and John will be there. Yeah. And Looch. Looch. Oh, I see. Replacement, George. 02:30:53.659 --> 02:30:54.460 The Looch. 02:30:54.520 --> 02:30:54.660 No. 02:30:55.820 --> 02:30:57.020 He's about your size, so. 02:30:57.820 --> 02:30:59.140 Oh, sorry to hear about that, dude. 02:30:59.220 --> 02:31:00.180 He has no hair. 02:31:00.200 --> 02:31:01.360 He's about your size, so. 02:31:02.920 --> 02:31:03.880 Looch the pooch. 02:31:05.480 --> 02:31:06.500 No, you can go. 02:31:06.640 --> 02:31:07.720 You just said you can't. 02:31:08.140 --> 02:31:08.380 Right. 02:31:08.560 --> 02:31:09.260 So I can't. 02:31:09.320 --> 02:31:10.220 So you're not being replaced. 02:31:10.740 --> 02:31:11.000 Okay. 02:31:11.100 --> 02:31:11.700 So there's a difference. 02:31:11.900 --> 02:31:12.060 Yeah. 02:31:12.620 --> 02:31:14.040 We would like you to be there. 02:31:14.260 --> 02:31:14.540 Yeah. 02:31:15.880 --> 02:31:17.700 You did rule with the battle vest. 02:31:18.620 --> 02:31:19.040 Hell yeah. 02:31:20.140 --> 02:31:49.640 And you and I did get to experience walking into a press conference. We had no idea what was going on. Ladies and gentlemen, Dave Mustaine. I think we'll stay. All right, who's up? All right, I guess it's me with number five. Top five. Top five. Hot and heavy. This is a metal band. Yes. It's Amorphous, An Evening with Friends at Whoville. In Whoville? Whoville. Whoville. Whoville. Was little Cindy Lou there? Cindy Lou Who. 02:31:50.140 --> 02:32:20.060 Loved it the most. Indeed. They played on a live album earlier in the year. It was pretty good. Yes, and that's what it was. And they are, by the way, in the studio right now. Yes. Not our studio. They're clearly not here. Here they are, ladies and gentlemen. All right, Matt. Matt, five. Number five, Tombs, the Grand Theft Auto. Oh, yeah. Showing me up there. Somebody's getting coffee, and somebody else isn't. Yeah. Mike's like, fuck George. 02:32:20.180 --> 02:32:48.840 I like savage gold. All right, John. These are friends of ours. They like to jerk the penis. Jerking the penis. Jerking the penis. Jay is my bitch. I love these guys. Not just because the music's cool, but they're cool too. Perihelium ship to paint a bird of fire. And the beauty of this album is it's getting a lot of traction on a lot of different sites. Excellent. Is it really? Yes. 02:32:50.140 --> 02:33:19.780 picking up now. So both metal and peroxides. Well deserved. Yes. Good for them. And I would like to think that it's because the music is good. But realistically speaking, it's because they're on our podcast. We totally broke this album. It was just totally us. It did for me. We're being sarcastic. Definitely. And just think, it was just this album that showed up on Bandcamp one day back in January. 02:33:20.160 --> 02:33:47.680 last year and I'm like, but these guys. Yeah, and we're like, it's pretty good. Exactly. All right, well, number five. Ordos. House of the Dead. So here's the thing. I think that's going to be in at least three top fives here. Here's the thing. Oh! Hold on. Hold on. Did you say Ordos? 02:33:50.140 --> 02:34:13.320 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I think it's more like this. God, it's so good. It is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. God. If you listen to the lyrics, it's almost like a concept album. It's just, ah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 02:34:20.320 --> 02:34:48.740 Anyway. I'll do out on that. Bordos, House of the Dead. From Poland. Poland is strong. I will give the Poland that. Are they from Poland? Yeah. Actually, no. No, no, no. Sorry, Sweden. Sweden. Sorry. Wait, hold on. Check your facts. Bluesy psychedelics that are due. Sweden! Yeah. On the other side of the world, so I guess close enough. It's somewhere over there. It's not near here. Somewhere over there where it's cold and depressive. 02:34:50.180 --> 02:34:50.260 music. 02:34:52.260 --> 02:34:52.400 Jay. 02:34:52.680 --> 02:34:52.760 Absolutely. 02:34:54.300 --> 02:34:54.540 All right. 02:34:54.700 --> 02:34:56.760 John's going to need my help pronouncing this. 02:34:56.900 --> 02:34:57.300 Cormorant. 02:34:57.500 --> 02:34:57.840 Diaspora. 02:34:58.020 --> 02:34:58.360 Yes. 02:34:58.880 --> 02:34:59.480 Oh, wow. 02:35:00.260 --> 02:35:00.940 I'm impressed, Jay. 02:35:01.000 --> 02:35:03.580 That got knocked off by Morbid Angel. 02:35:03.740 --> 02:35:07.500 I have to say, man, the more I listen to that record, it's just fucking world class. 02:35:08.040 --> 02:35:09.420 And the production is amazing. 02:35:09.840 --> 02:35:11.160 It goes to a lot of cool places. 02:35:11.520 --> 02:35:14.840 And this doesn't have much to do with it, but they are local voice, too, which I love. 02:35:15.240 --> 02:35:16.240 That does help, though, I think. 02:35:16.280 --> 02:35:18.440 Local as in from the Bay Area? 02:35:18.780 --> 02:35:18.980 Yeah. 02:35:19.380 --> 02:35:19.900 They're from San Francisco. 02:35:23.460 --> 02:35:48.260 Yeah, good stuff. I owe that to John. He's directly responsible for two of my top fives this year. Ordos. John told me about Ordos. I told all y'all about Ordos. I don't know about that. I heard it from John. I heard it from... It was on my list before any of y'all talked about it. You guys don't pay any attention to my list. Your lists usually suck. 02:35:50.000 --> 02:36:19.420 Well, they did that day. I got it from the Metal Band Camp site, and they said this could be the next Mono Lord. I haven't heard that one yet today. Yeah, it's better than Mono Lord. Shut the fuck up. I remember hearing about Ordos because John put it on his headphones-only album, and I remember distinctly I was up in Philadelphia staying at my brother-in-law's house. I think I got a text saying, dude, this fucking album. Yeah, believe what you want, but it was on my list like weeks before you guys talked about it. What list? 02:36:20.020 --> 02:36:49.940 What I'm listening to, bitches? Dude, I go out for a burger during that list. I know. No one pays debts in that fucking list. That's why you didn't hear about it when I talked about it. When it's an hour, I'm like, fuck, what am I going to do what's on TV? It's like a watch of Walking Dead while you talk about your list. Where's my screw you guys sound effect? Yeah, you need that. You need a fuck you guys. I think I have one now. You just got it. So at what point is bragging about that's on your list, but you're hating? 02:36:50.020 --> 02:37:11.080 I liked it, but it wasn't that good. I think I hurt my neck say on that. I have been pelted with things. There's a little bit of mayhem going on here. Calamity. Is it my number five? Calamity. It's more calamity than mayhem. 02:37:20.819 --> 02:37:21.700 Number five. 02:37:23.159 --> 02:37:24.820 Perihelian ship to Panda Bird of Fire. 02:37:25.000 --> 02:37:26.000 Number five? 02:37:26.300 --> 02:37:26.540 What? 02:37:27.260 --> 02:37:27.560 What? 02:37:27.960 --> 02:37:29.860 They might win number one on the podcast. 02:37:29.860 --> 02:37:30.500 I think they will. 02:37:30.850 --> 02:37:31.400 I think they will. 02:37:31.400 --> 02:37:32.040 They might get it. 02:37:32.640 --> 02:37:33.380 That's two fives. 02:37:33.540 --> 02:37:34.560 That's pretty high. 02:37:35.160 --> 02:37:35.360 Wait. 02:37:36.100 --> 02:37:37.020 Jay, did you have them? 02:37:38.310 --> 02:37:38.440 Yeah. 02:37:38.570 --> 02:37:38.720 Yeah. 02:37:39.899 --> 02:37:40.340 Yeah. 02:37:40.880 --> 02:37:41.080 Yeah. 02:37:42.560 --> 02:37:42.820 Yeah. 02:37:43.340 --> 02:37:45.180 They were 23 for me, I have to admit. 02:37:45.980 --> 02:37:46.800 Matt, you had them, right? 02:37:47.880 --> 02:38:16.280 22. You had him? Five. I just mentioned five. See? What about you, Will? I don't remember you said it. I'm not. Ooh. There's always one. There's always one. I don't count, but I have always ten. Ooh. Replacement Will here. Yeah, exactly. So wait. Next time you mention TR, say, Will, what's your number? Will, what's your number four? I'm Will Jr. So number four for me? 02:38:16.900 --> 02:38:44.660 a metal band. This is Tuesday the Sky with Drift. This is... That surprises me. Well, this was, I thought, a pretty good album, and I enjoyed it, and I actually listened to it quite a few times. So this is Jim Mattheos of Fate's Warning. His kind of dalliance into post-rock, and I thought it was... I enjoyed it quite a bit. 02:38:47.359 --> 02:39:15.520 when we talked about it when the CD came out after you bought the vinyl. Did you buy the vinyl? No, I didn't buy the vinyl. Oh, you bought the vinyl from the Pelican dude. Strike Dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and actually that did make my list, but it was like Thunder 15, but it was quite good. Okay, sorry, keep going. Nope. No, so that was it. Cool. All right. Tuesday, the Sky and Glasses. All right. We're on to a new beer. Another metal beer. Happy new beer! Happy new beer! 02:39:16.900 --> 02:39:44.460 Matt, do you have a new beer? Nope, still in the phantom hand. So we're splitting a 12-ounce bottle four ways, three ounces each. How am I going to drink this? We got the Wake Up Dead Nitro version from Left Hand Brewing Company. They're owed, but yet not an ode to Megadeth. Not legally. 02:39:46.900 --> 02:40:16.860 I've been working on the brew heads for about, I don't know, fucking six months because I'm slow. Slow. However, I've, um, you guys can't call me slow. Oops. Sorry about that. Wouldn't be the first. I don't know. Oh boy. Anyway. Idiots. Idiots. Yeah, I have a little, idiots. Hey, Ren. I, first of 02:40:16.900 --> 02:40:46.860 First of all, I think you have a career in voiceovers. I was just going to say. TR is amazing with voiceovers, impersonations. He's our, Johnny, tell our guests what they win tonight. Yeah. Wells. Sorry. Beer probably. Well, Pat, you're going to Sunny Aruba. Yes, you and two guests will be able to go to Sunny Aruba where you'll find wonderful beaches and delicious beer in Sunny Aruba. 02:40:46.940 --> 02:41:15.900 Aruba! How many game shows are you watching a day? Just maybe two or three. I would just say that there's probably no delicious beer in Aruba. Well, there might be. I would bring delicious beer in Aruba. You'd have to bring it with you. All right. Cool. All right. Matt. Numero quattro. Quattro. Numero quattro. Yellow Eyes. Immersion Trench Revere. I was wondering when somebody was going to mention that. Nice. Turns out it was just Bubba. Yeah. 02:41:21.739 --> 02:41:22.580 I've never heard of it. 02:41:24.780 --> 02:41:26.500 It's getting a lot of traction, I think, right now. 02:41:26.900 --> 02:41:27.980 It's picking up on a lot of lists. 02:41:28.460 --> 02:41:28.880 Anybody else? 02:41:29.260 --> 02:41:29.320 Yeah. 02:41:30.360 --> 02:41:30.540 Johnny. 02:41:30.890 --> 02:41:31.380 Thank you, John. 02:41:32.200 --> 02:41:33.000 Good to the last drop. 02:41:33.250 --> 02:41:33.380 Yeah. 02:41:33.880 --> 02:41:34.080 All right. 02:41:34.320 --> 02:41:34.720 Yeah, cheers. 02:41:35.320 --> 02:41:35.440 Yep. 02:41:35.720 --> 02:41:36.100 Oh, yeah. 02:41:36.240 --> 02:41:36.420 Come on. 02:41:36.480 --> 02:41:36.660 Cheers. 02:41:37.000 --> 02:41:37.600 Yeah, bring it up. 02:41:37.900 --> 02:41:38.140 Yeah. 02:41:39.000 --> 02:41:39.220 Jeez. 02:41:40.760 --> 02:41:43.320 That's why we do have the pint glasses, because we're clanking. 02:41:44.500 --> 02:41:45.560 It's okay if they break, right? 02:41:46.030 --> 02:41:46.120 Yep. 02:41:46.260 --> 02:41:46.360 No. 02:41:46.660 --> 02:42:16.540 I'm just saying. Except for my Caps one and my Sub Pop one. And your Budweiser and Trooper one? Definitely not the Trooper one. It's my J Glass. I'm sure the only person has this number four on their list. I think George listened to it maybe once. It was an Angry Metal Guy album of the month. Yeah. That's not selling it. You just take your crickets and just take them to somebody else's backyard. Band's called Lore. They're from Philadelphia. Oh, fuck yeah. In Forgotten Sleep. 02:42:16.680 --> 02:42:46.600 That was my prediction earlier. L-O-R with a... Umlaut. Umlaut. Umlaut. Yes. They are another folk metal band in the Wilderun in Have or Hav, whatever their name was. But a little more power metal-ish, but not like, you know, Ed Guy power metal. Somebody at work told me that I should check them out. They are very cool. So if you're a folk metal fan, give them a spin. 02:42:47.800 --> 02:43:15.500 Excellent. Yeah, that's a good album. It is. Alright, my number four. This was a bit shocking to me how often I listened to this album, how much I enjoyed this album. You're saying it was enjoyable. This was an enjoyable album. I listened to this album a lot. I think this could have been easily my number one. 02:43:16.660 --> 02:43:46.560 There's a few dead spots in it. There's a few sort of unnecessary filler. Even with all that, I still fucking love this album. Perihelion Ship. I'm going to hazard a guess that that's going to be the number one podcast. I think it is. I think it is. Holy shit. What a turnaround. And it's not that the previous album was bad. I just think they continue to improve on what they already did. 02:43:46.660 --> 02:44:15.540 To me, this is the vocals, the organ play. And I'm surprised how much. You like it when people play the organ? Oh, my God. Man, can he play those skins? Penis. Seriously. And I know they're listening. And I remember giving George a ton of shit when he's like, oh, you're our next guest from a period of time. Like, didn't we just interview them like six months ago? 02:44:16.920 --> 02:44:45.240 You remember this, right? Yeah. And I totally take it back. Holy fucking shit. What a great album. Unbelievable. My kids even like it. Hell yeah. Now you need to go spend some more time with the first album. I want to get this on vinyl. I absolutely want to get it on. Oh, so, by the way. We're waiting for it. You missed the boat on that one. Yeah. We're waiting. I'm waiting for the CD version. So I actually bought a record player. Yeah, I will. 02:44:45.600 --> 02:44:48.600 So it should be should be when I get home today should be there 02:44:49.900 --> 02:44:50.240 Awesome 02:44:51.060 --> 02:44:52.740 You'll be including vinyl on your 02:44:53.380 --> 02:44:56.480 forthcoming episodes. It'll be like one though. Yeah, that's all right 02:44:56.570 --> 02:44:58.360 I don't have an addiction like you fuck faces 02:44:58.600 --> 02:45:04.540 I haven't got I haven't bought that much recently last thing I got was the Bruce Dickinson box set and that was a while ago 02:45:04.620 --> 02:45:06.160 All 87 albums. Yeah 02:45:06.910 --> 02:45:10.900 But so you're not neglecting that made up for the last time I am now 02:45:14.600 --> 02:45:16.140 Okay, that is Jay. 02:45:17.720 --> 02:45:25.440 We can move through it pretty quick. I'm the only one who attached to this record this year, but I loved it. It was my number one at the mid-year, Slate, Domus Mysterium. 02:45:26.040 --> 02:45:28.500 If you haven't heard it, I really suggest this record highly. 02:45:28.820 --> 02:45:33.920 I listened to it after you had it on your mid-year, and I was like, oh, yeah, this is kind of good. 02:45:34.560 --> 02:45:40.400 And it's still on my phone, and I start it once in a while, but I always get interrupted, and I just haven't. 02:45:40.420 --> 02:46:06.580 I haven't had enough time with it. And so I feel... Banging on your keyboard too much, huh? Yeah. Sometimes there's just a band that's right in your wheelhouse and for whatever reason these guys got my number. This record was super addictive for me this year. They got your name. They got your number. They got a line on you. Yeah. John is like, yeah, fucking Bill Collins Genesis. Take your Bill Collins Genesis and shove it up your ass. 02:46:10.400 --> 02:46:12.980 I like Phil, sorry. Georgie. 02:46:13.520 --> 02:46:13.700 Four. 02:46:14.700 --> 02:46:15.420 My number four. 02:46:15.680 --> 02:46:15.800 Four. 02:46:16.480 --> 02:46:17.560 From the United Kingdom. 02:46:18.601 --> 02:46:19.120 Akakaka. 02:46:19.780 --> 02:46:20.480 And Resistance. 02:46:21.160 --> 02:46:22.260 That's not even it. 02:46:22.620 --> 02:46:22.940 Renaissance. 02:46:23.890 --> 02:46:24.960 In the Extremis. 02:46:24.980 --> 02:46:25.320 Wait a minute. 02:46:26.601 --> 02:46:28.160 Resistance is futile. 02:46:29.200 --> 02:46:29.720 Renaissance. 02:46:29.970 --> 02:46:30.640 In Extremis. 02:46:30.920 --> 02:46:31.580 Renaissance. 02:46:32.561 --> 02:46:33.080 Renaissance. 02:46:35.700 --> 02:46:35.940 All right. 02:46:36.270 --> 02:46:36.400 Yeah. 02:46:36.760 --> 02:46:37.200 Fucking crickets. 02:46:37.250 --> 02:46:37.660 Let me just. 02:46:38.380 --> 02:47:07.320 Nobody gave a shit about that one. It's only number four best album of the year. I bet John may squeak that one out. The fuck was that? And yet again, I'm following that up. What's that say? This is a metal band. It's Fate's Warning with Awaken the Guardian live. Oh, hell yeah. Three of us were there for that. 02:47:07.720 --> 02:47:37.300 And there's a wonderful picture of us all just sitting in the audience. You can barely make us out, but we're there. Yes. And it's very cool. Yeah. Immortalized, if you will. Yes. Yes, we are. What's next, sir? We're kind of getting long in the tooth. Sure. Sure. On the podcast. And because there's four of us, and people seem to be wanting more than just three ounces of beer at a time. I could do three. 02:47:38.340 --> 02:48:07.560 I did not account for the strap hanger. Oh, sorry. Yeah, that would be me. Will Junior. So we're going to bust out some cans. Yeah, see, I'm taking up extra beer space that would have been for everybody else. We couldn't possibly throw all that beer yet. We brought 57 beers with us. Well, we do have some other big ones out there we can bust open. So we're just going to do the fade to black, which is by far a phenomenal beer. So there's two of them. 02:48:07.700 --> 02:48:37.600 There's two cans of beer. Two cans. 12 ounces each. 24 ounces of beer divided by four. Would this count as a Brutal Truth beer? It is. Oh my god. We've been so remiss in our worship of the Bible. Oh yeah. Did you bring it? The Brutal Truth beer is what? Fade to black number four? Yeah. Does this count? It counts. Here it is. Why is it so brand new? 02:48:37.720 --> 02:49:07.680 Yeah, it looks very crisp. It hasn't been rolled up and stuck in your back pocket. You know what I love about John? John, I can tell, is very much like... So John gifted me the cover art album book. That's a great book. Right. But I know why... Now I know why John gifted me that book. Because he likes you? No, he doesn't like me. He doesn't like you? It's because it has a big slash 02:49:07.740 --> 02:49:37.440 No, that's actually not the reason why. You actually like me? You like me? You really like me? Yeah, it's because there's a big slash across the cover. It was like, I have to buy another one. This one has a cut across the cover. No, actually, for some reason, I ended up getting a second one. That's not the reason why, but I figured, oh, you fingered? Who could I give it to? Who would appreciate this? That's kind of smoky. Apparently... It was me, and I do appreciate it. I don't know. 02:49:37.720 --> 02:50:07.580 Maybe I should just go home and get mine one and give it to you. It's kind of smoky. I don't see it on there, but it's a foreign export stout. Well, I think it was going to be like a war. Fruity and special. Yeah. Just like George. Fruity and special. What number are we on? We're on number three, I think. And I think it's Matt. Matt's like, Jesus Christ, guys. Yeah. Matt, do you have another beer? No, no. It's all good. It's all that gyration going on. 02:50:07.700 --> 02:50:37.260 Do you need a moment alone? What's that? I just my chair. Huh? What? Shit, I got caught. Yeah, no, I've got these old chairs that make all these fun sounds while I move around. I keep forgetting to mute my mic. All right, number three, The Ominous Circle, Appalling Ascension. Ooh. And that's all we've got to say about that. No, I think there was a split second at mid-year that I had. 02:50:37.720 --> 02:51:04.840 That was contention for the mid-year for me. All right. John. Is that an EP? No. No, it's a full length. It's full length. Unless you. Which is a single. Where's my drum? My drum. You need it. All right, Cue up the wheel laughter. Here comes another one. 02:51:08.199 --> 02:51:09.040 Jerking the penis. 02:51:11.760 --> 02:51:12.120 Farsat. 02:51:13.319 --> 02:51:13.680 Failure. 02:51:14.040 --> 02:51:15.500 Oh, that's a good one. 02:51:15.660 --> 02:51:17.300 My number three. 02:51:17.670 --> 02:51:19.340 You said sleeping bag. 02:51:22.540 --> 02:51:23.140 Fart sock. 02:51:23.760 --> 02:51:26.600 The Marine Corps calls a sleeping bag a fart sock. 02:51:26.740 --> 02:51:27.840 Yeah, you said that once already. 02:51:27.990 --> 02:51:28.520 Yeah, we heard that. 02:51:28.580 --> 02:51:30.640 Yeah, we heard that about two hours ago. 02:51:30.940 --> 02:51:32.240 Well, when I said sleeping bag. 02:51:32.240 --> 02:51:34.640 Hey, Will, what does the Marines call a sleeping bag? 02:51:35.600 --> 02:51:36.020 What's that? 02:51:36.340 --> 02:51:37.600 What are the Marines call a sleeping bag? 02:51:37.620 --> 02:52:06.900 I'm retired now. Old man Will. I'm actually not retired. I'm just tired. I wish I had a hell of a headband on every list so Will could have told the story every time. Well, let me tell you something funny about that. When I said sleeping bag, everyone looked at me like, what are you talking about? And then I said it again. No, no, we were all there with him. It's only going to be good if it's Will's number one. He never even listened to it. Fart soccer. He doesn't even know who they are. Fart soccer. Is it my turn? It is Will's turn. 02:52:07.620 --> 02:52:37.160 Number three. Temple of Void. Lords of Death. That'll work. Goddamn right, it'll work. Thank you for your approval. That will work. We get this guy here every time. Yeah, we do. So we're going to call him up and say, okay, dude, we're going to need you at the beginning of the podcast. Just Skype in and we'll text you when we need you. And then drink a bunch of beers. 02:52:37.620 --> 02:53:07.560 And then come in at the end. Come back like seven hours later. Come in when you're drunk on your ass. And then do a bunch of stuff. T.R., I have no idea. Well, several things. What your real name is. Two, what you do for a living. His real name is T.R. What you do for a living. He told you already. He did. That was the Iron Maiden tapes episode, so I don't think he remembers too much. I don't remember anything from that. Do you remember? 02:53:07.620 --> 02:53:36.800 Remember when you got on top of that guy's car and just your underwear? Yeah. Then you should remember what I did for a living. Porn star. We don't talk about that. Anyway. Who's turn is it? Jay's. But I need T.R.'s help here. T.R., could you announce my next album with a disclaimer that you've announced on most of your non-metal albums? Oh, I know what it is then. And now Jay with number three. Is it three? 02:53:37.620 --> 02:54:06.180 Number three. This is not a metal album. Dude, you're so good at that. And that was for George, in truth, because I think it is a metal record. It's not, but I don't hold it against you. I mean, I'd hold it against you if you were here, but... It's not. Miracour, Maradit. What? I think it's great. It is great. There's only one metal song on there. 02:54:08.040 --> 02:54:35.380 I'll even accept that people think she's a hot topic girl or whatever the hell it is. I like that. Oh, it's a great album. I'm not saying it's not a great album. I don't get it. I will be the first one to make it. I've listened to it. It was in the box. George puts that in the box. Just holds on the Cannibal Corpse for like six months and then puts that garbage in the box. Whoa. That's a little harsh. Got a little cold and nasty. I'm sorry. Puts that garbage in the square thing. 02:54:39.880 --> 02:55:07.040 Damn. Anyway. Speaking of garbage, my number three. Oh boy, here we go. Gods of violence. Yes! Creator. Uh oh, uh oh. Here he comes. Look out. That's the money shot right there. Yeah, all over my face. Yep, we definitely want to do Facebook Live, YouTube, 02:55:11.180 --> 02:55:37.420 Coming to a theater near you. He literally got up, ran around the table and helped me. Yeah. Dude, so I'm curious. Because I distinctly gave you tons of shit. Because you said, no, what are they going to look? What will creator get from me having them so high on my list? Blah, blah, blah, this and that. No, you were right. Excuses, excuses, excuses. No, no, but I'm just curious as like, do you, 02:55:38.020 --> 02:56:06.740 You obviously like it. I love it. I mean, okay. I really do. Stop while you're ahead. I know, I know. I want to argue with you, but I can't because you're like, I just want to know why suddenly it's like this. No, it's just that, you know, the bigger bands are obvious to me, and so I just don't always think about them because it's obvious. Yeah. But that said, they're on a good run right now. I hear your point, George. They're on a good run right now. They're the last few records. 02:56:06.880 --> 02:56:36.300 And this was really a really pretty damn bad record. Nice. And I actually, I was not impressed with it when it first came out. And it was, I mean, not as long as Obituary took to grow on me, but this album, like, at first I was like, well, it's just not Antichrist, it's not a... Phantom Antichrist? Yeah, it was the one for Lords of Chaos, Hordes of Chaos, which was fucking amazing. Like, that was their best album ever. Well, you know, I have, like, this, 02:56:37.400 --> 02:57:05.400 Snapshot in time from Valken of Matt and I during Creator. And it's fucking cold as hell and raining. And I'm leaning on this metal fucking thing to try and stay up. And he's like squat over against this railing. And we're just freezing our balls off listening to Creator. And yeah. Remember that? That's it? That's where we're getting? No, you had to be there, man. It was just, it was epic. 02:57:06.860 --> 02:57:36.480 It was like after three or four days, you finally just hit this wall and like my body had been going good. I felt good. Like we're going to do this. And then, you know, you just start to slowly kind of go downhill. But then you're listening in the background. It's like creator. It's like, yeah, this is still awesome. You know? Yeah. So he finished the story for you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I mean, thank you. Thank you for clarity. I can picture it in my mind. And I mean, it was, it was awesome and miserable at the same time. And it's just one of those things you're going to remember. Yeah, absolutely. 02:57:36.880 --> 02:58:06.340 That's very cool. Awesome. I'm impressed. I thought you would be. I did it for you, man. I did hump you. Apparently we saw how impressed you were. Just for the record, I did hump you. Me too, actually. All right. If you guys weren't here, it'd be a lot more. I bet Matt and JR didn't think this was going to happen today. But you know what? This has been worth everything for me. So this is not a metal band is what you're saying, number two? 02:58:08.480 --> 02:58:33.620 But the guy that played guitar in this was in the metal band. And this album, this band is called KXM, and the album is Scatterbrain. Oh, really? Yeah, number two for me, yeah. Tell them who KXM is. So this is George Lynch from Doc and Fame, and Doug Pinnock from King's X. 02:58:36.860 --> 02:59:06.680 What did you call me? Yaluja. Yeah. He's from Korn, but he's actually a very good drummer. Yeah, as a three-piece and just as a band. This was their second album, and it is a great leap, just like the Perihelion Ship. You can tell that these guys really started to click on this album even more so. I really enjoyed this album. We saw them. No, we didn't see these guys live, but I really enjoyed this album. 02:59:06.880 --> 02:59:33.780 And so anyway, that's my number two. Cool. It doesn't matter what words you're saying. I keep feeling like I'm listening to an ESPN baseball show whenever you talk. I fall straight into this. Yeah, and I thought he did a real good job. It's the radio thing, dude. We got to get you on the radio. Yeah, I was doing the same thing except public radio. Oh, all right. Sorry. This is NPR. Sorry, we're having a companion. It was about this time when the team gelled together and they went on their run to the championship. 02:59:37.120 --> 03:00:06.720 They had all the puzzle pieces, and now they had the talent, and all they had to do was make a run for the pennant. This is like NFL film. They came out on a cold day. It was a cold day in December when they went to Lambeau Field. I can't get enough of this. I gotta tell you, I'm a huge fan of those old NFL films. Was that Merle Reese? 03:00:06.860 --> 03:00:35.980 No, no, no, it was, uh, that was John Facenda. John Facenda, yes. John Facenda. Placenta? And then all the music was, like, it was from those old, like, 50s westerns. And you figure it's, like, a bunch of guys on horses coming into town. Right, yeah. On a cold December day. It was about this time everyone turned the podcast off. Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, we were a bunch of time rejoins. The 51 people turned off their, 03:00:36.860 --> 03:01:03.200 If you've made it this far, congratulations. The four people left listening to this card. We've only got two more picks to go. All right, let's go to Matt, please. We at number two? Number two, Cannibal Corpse. Yes! Wow. You're lucky you're not here to get home. I will gouge out your eyes and help you. 03:01:08.000 --> 03:01:36.540 You better check your door, Matt, right behind you, bud. I gotta check and see if I can get a flight to Minneapolis right now. This man needs a home. Fair enough. You just wish you would see it's on a Delta flight. So, Matt, I'm curious how you compare this album to previous albums. I mean, of their newer stuff, I always go back to Kill. And by newer, I mean, you know. In the last 10 years. Not old. Yeah. 03:01:37.540 --> 03:02:05.060 Like, to me, what made it stand out is after I listened to it, just so much of it was memorable for me. And where I feel like some of the more previous releases like Evisceration Plague and Torture, and I can't think of another one, but I felt like there was so much more of this that kept coming back into my mind, remained, head shoveled off, shedding human skin, just all these songs, I don't know, stuck with me. 03:02:05.140 --> 03:02:35.060 So other more recent stuff, it definitely stands out quite a bit. Awesome. TR's got on the well. TR's losing it. Uh oh. Dude, I've actually, I've looked at Cannibal Corpse titles of songs. Fucked with a knife! And it's like so beyond anything I could even contemplate. It's not rational. It's like, I went into like, I don't know, I was in a record store and I was like, okay, let me check these out. And I looked at Cannibal Corpse, like I looked at their, like, at the song title. 03:02:35.520 --> 03:03:05.080 And it's like, let's come up with the most offensive thing that we can come up with. And take the vaginal skin. Right, yeah. It's like ripping the vagina with a knife four inches long. I mean, it's like the most heinous, disgusting thing, but it's... It's a small knife. Masticate the bloody stump! Yeah, but it's hilarious because it's like, you know, who would come up with this, you know? I don't know, it just makes me laugh. Honestly, dude, that's part of the weird charm of that band. That it is so extreme. 03:03:05.140 --> 03:03:07.140 And it's tongue-in-cheek with him. 03:03:07.230 --> 03:03:07.720 John and I. 03:03:09.300 --> 03:03:10.180 Sorry, go ahead, Jay. 03:03:11.180 --> 03:03:11.880 No, no, that's it. 03:03:12.140 --> 03:03:13.920 John and I were talking about this on the way up. 03:03:14.760 --> 03:03:17.220 It's just that they're the most normal dudes in the world. 03:03:17.380 --> 03:03:18.360 They're all family guys. 03:03:18.540 --> 03:03:19.580 Have you seen... 03:03:21.899 --> 03:03:22.960 George at Target? 03:03:23.030 --> 03:03:25.460 Yes, Corpse Grinder at Target on YouTube. 03:03:25.640 --> 03:03:26.140 You've got to watch that. 03:03:26.260 --> 03:03:26.620 That's awesome. 03:03:27.359 --> 03:03:28.020 It's fucking killer. 03:03:28.300 --> 03:03:29.680 I almost just sent it to you, Will. 03:03:29.770 --> 03:03:30.720 It's just him looking for deals. 03:03:30.930 --> 03:03:31.780 He likes clearance deals. 03:03:31.940 --> 03:04:01.900 And he's like, fuck it, I'm buying four of these. Did you tell me about that, Matt? Was that you? I don't think I did. Maybe it was Trevor. No, no, it was Trevor. It was Trevor. Yeah. Is on YouTube, I guess. Yeah. Did he film it himself or something? No, it was with like metal injection or something. It's great, though, dude. You just fall in love with the guy. He's like shopping for clearance stuff. Yeah. It's hilarious. On tour, that's what he does on tour. He's like, if I find a target, I'm 03:04:01.920 --> 03:04:31.900 Good. Like on a day off, he'll be like, is there a target around here? And he goes in and he just fucking bargain shops. It's absolutely true, dude. I mean, you've got to watch this video. TR, to your point, I have to add, when my wife and I moved in together, we both started using my laptop. And we were doing, yeah, well, that could be a whole nother story. No, no, no, no. I see where this is. No, not that. We were both using my iTunes. And so she signed out of my iTunes and signed back into 03:04:31.920 --> 03:05:01.900 hers and then I signed back into mine and really what it did is it took my entire catalog which was about 20,000 songs at the time and it just merged it with hers and my wife wants absolutely nothing to do with that and of course the first song that pops up and I could just see it she had her phone because it actually went into her actual full on iTunes account she just looks at me and she's like addicted to vaginalism you listen to this how could you do that it's not a record that you ask your 03:05:01.940 --> 03:05:02.280 Yeah. 03:05:03.920 --> 03:05:33.340 We have so much in common. Yeah. So my wife and I share an iTunes account because she just never got her own. And it's actually super annoying because she's always like, can you update my iPod? I got to do all this thing. I got to make her own playlist. And she's all about Adele and Michael Jackson and all this good stuff. I like Adele. I like Michael Jackson. I like Gaga. You know, because you're bi-sci. You know, your wife and I need to hang out, man. We go to some concerts. 03:05:33.920 --> 03:06:02.300 Please take her. I know you neglect the box, so it doesn't matter. Glad I almost didn't choke on my water there. Anyway, Matt, sorry. Anyway, who's the number? Where are we? Are we at John? I don't know anymore. That was like 20 minutes. 03:06:05.000 --> 03:06:32.040 More beer, please. Oh, yeah. Maybe my surprise. Yeah. Maybe my surprise. Will and John need to catch up. I gotta, you know, drive. So you guys keep on drinking. Wait a minute. I need to drive. Oh, yeah. Uh-oh. All right, my number two. I think George is the only other person who mentioned these guys. This is my surprise. I didn't think they'd go this high, and they did. 03:06:33.920 --> 03:07:03.720 He's by far the best singer, I think, out there right now. Clean vocals. Sorcerer, the crowning of the Fire King. Wow, that is high for you, dude. I'm surprised. That is high. I mean, they were high, but they're last up. Hold on. You're so high. I'm out. I'm done. Ran out of weed. I like the album a lot. It is an amazing album. He's a fabulous singer, and this is a band that was like, 03:07:03.920 --> 03:07:32.260 But how many decades in between their demos and their first release? Yeah. Like 20 years? Good for them to now find it in their middle years. John, I have two questions for you. Yes. Have you mentioned Ordos yet? I have not. Have you mentioned Exist yet? I have not. Have you mentioned your penis yet? I did in the car. Penis. Somebody's getting squeezed. 03:07:36.619 --> 03:07:37.280 All right. 03:07:38.899 --> 03:07:39.780 No, it's Will. 03:07:40.280 --> 03:07:40.740 Oh boy. 03:07:42.160 --> 03:07:44.360 Matt, remember when I said you and I have a lot in common? 03:07:45.560 --> 03:07:46.340 Number two. 03:07:46.720 --> 03:07:47.540 Catawal Corpse. 03:07:49.119 --> 03:07:50.260 Red before black. 03:07:54.200 --> 03:07:56.120 If you can, Matt, just give me a high five. 03:07:56.160 --> 03:07:56.820 Virtual high five. 03:07:56.820 --> 03:07:57.640 Yeah, virtual high five. 03:07:57.800 --> 03:07:58.440 Oh yeah. 03:07:58.820 --> 03:07:59.040 Thank you. 03:07:59.560 --> 03:08:01.620 The corpse is going to be pretty high on the list this year. 03:08:01.620 --> 03:08:02.000 I think you're right. 03:08:02.800 --> 03:08:03.240 I like it. 03:08:03.300 --> 03:08:32.740 God, I love that. It's going to be an interesting list. I will say this. Camel Corpse is my number two only because they will never put out. Number two? Well, now I know what your number one is. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Sorry, I had to do that. Only because I do think the last couple albums, I personally thought were a little bit better than this one. I disagree. But this one is still awesome. It's still awesome. It is. 03:08:33.280 --> 03:09:02.900 And I fall into this a couple times where I'm so craving the new album that when they drop the single, I listen to that single over and over and over again. I get tired of it. So the Code of the Slashers, I was sort of like, I'm sort of tired of that. So when the album comes out, I just skip over that song. But it's actually a really good song. So it's sort of like what I need to do is just not listen to preview songs on albums. 03:09:02.960 --> 03:09:32.240 I really, really, really excited to hear. Or just don't listen to it that much. I've killed albums out before because of that. It breaks up the continuity of the record for you. So maybe listen to it once or twice and get the fuck out of Dodge. That's my number two. I owe John dearly for my number two. One of my favorite records of the year. There's one thing that outdid it, so it's not my number one, but it easily could have been Ordo Seltzer. Nice. 03:09:33.000 --> 03:10:02.660 at my influence. Fucking great, dude. Spreading my influence from coast to coast. George is just really in coast to coast. George, do you realize you're the only one? Am I? Yeah. John hasn't done it. Well, you're the only one who hates it. I don't hate it. You do. No, I like it. I just don't like it this much. You don't like it 25 places. Yeah. Yeah. Wait till you hear my frickin' number two. 03:10:04.199 --> 03:10:32.900 There's amazing albums in my... Can I go pee during your number... It's not going to take me long. Actually, I may have the most. I have like 20-some albums. Oh, glad we did a top 25. Yeah. Shit, fuck it. Let's do a top 5 next time. Yeah. Alright, so it's my number 2? Yeah. Maybe. I cannot believe I have not heard this one yet. Crickets. I am extremely disappointed in all of you. Crickets. Crickets. Narcotic Wasteland. 03:10:35.039 --> 03:10:35.680 Come on. 03:10:37.000 --> 03:10:37.840 I have to be honest with you, George. 03:10:37.900 --> 03:10:38.820 I haven't heard a note of it. 03:10:38.820 --> 03:10:39.180 Oh my God. 03:10:39.320 --> 03:10:40.300 I know I'm an idiot, but I haven't. 03:10:40.400 --> 03:10:42.220 It was seriously in... 03:10:42.300 --> 03:10:42.900 Push the button. 03:10:43.100 --> 03:10:43.460 No. 03:10:43.800 --> 03:10:47.020 It was seriously in contention for number one. 03:10:47.779 --> 03:10:49.860 I've listened to this album so many times. 03:10:49.980 --> 03:10:50.260 I'm sorry. 03:10:50.360 --> 03:10:51.600 The MC said to push the button. 03:10:51.680 --> 03:10:52.300 You need to push... 03:10:54.859 --> 03:10:56.800 I don't think crickets are necessary. 03:10:58.619 --> 03:11:00.880 This blows Nile out of the fucking water. 03:11:01.000 --> 03:11:01.620 No, it does not. 03:11:01.680 --> 03:11:02.060 It does. 03:11:03.320 --> 03:11:31.960 I will say this. I listened to it and what happened was this album I bought at the same time I bought Hate. Yeah. And I liked Hate a lot more. Well, you're dumb. No one's going to argue with that. But I guess the more I listen to it, it may or may not have dropped. 03:11:36.339 --> 03:11:38.700 I really thought somebody would have this on. 03:11:39.150 --> 03:11:41.580 In my mind, because I remember we were doing the Messenger thing, 03:11:41.690 --> 03:11:44.180 and when it first came out, I started listening to it. 03:11:44.750 --> 03:11:47.000 I loved it, because obviously it sounds like Niall. 03:11:47.850 --> 03:11:50.380 But I just, I don't know, there was something about it. 03:11:50.380 --> 03:11:51.600 I was like, I'm not sure. 03:11:52.060 --> 03:11:54.580 And then I started listening to the Hate album more. 03:11:55.240 --> 03:11:56.200 Well, the Hate's a great album. 03:11:56.310 --> 03:11:57.080 Oh, it's phenomenal. 03:11:57.260 --> 03:12:00.680 But this, I mean, this easily could, like I said, could have been number one. 03:12:01.020 --> 03:12:30.860 I've listened to it so much. Wow. I'm embarrassed I haven't listened to it. It is good. I mean, Jay, I kept telling you guys. Jay, you should listen to this album. You should listen to it. This should blow me. It's actually downloading as we speak. What the fuck is my problem? Matt, have you listened to this album? No. So it's Dallas, Dallas Toler-Wade, the former lead singer of Hanile. Yeah. 03:12:31.140 --> 03:12:59.880 Matt, have you heard it? Yes. Damn it. I very much like it. See, I was going to give you a pass if you hadn't heard it, but no, you're in the same boat. No, you're on the list. Way to go, buddy. You're all damned. Geez, what is George's number one of it? Not this amazing album. You should have just done it so you didn't hear it. It's top of this. Thrasenbad doesn't have a new album. Yeah, well not yet. It's going to be his anyway. Thrasenbad. All right, well, how about before our number ones, how about a wee-wee and a beer? 03:13:01.040 --> 03:13:30.280 Or at least a wee-wee. Okay. Where would you like your wee-wee? In your mouth? In your butt? In your ear? You can't even press the button anymore. You can't even press the button. I got the button. Why is the button on me? Just put it in my mouth. Yes, we have devolved into drunken insanity. This is the mayhem part of the show. Beer fuel calamity. Calamity, calamity. 03:13:31.040 --> 03:13:51.780 I want to point out that Jay and Matt have both left their keyboards. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Jay's not even drinking. He's like, I got some of this shit. Yeah, I'm disappointed about that. Well, you know, we drink lemongrass all day. Yeah. All right, my next drink is going to be a water. Yeah, I got to drive. 03:14:27.040 --> 03:14:28.440 ... 03:14:31.020 --> 03:15:00.620 No, it's just shoes. Shoes are clothes. Let's be honest about this. No, they're shoes. They are shoes. When you look on a website, when you go to buy apparel, men's apparel, shirts, shorts, underwear, separate section, shoes. Shoes. Where the hell is Will? That was an argument so worth having. Penis. Jerking the penis. Jerking the penis. 03:15:03.760 --> 03:15:05.000 All right, George. 03:15:05.670 --> 03:15:06.140 Here he is. 03:15:09.260 --> 03:15:09.700 What? 03:15:10.380 --> 03:15:12.700 Oh, I saw some of that at the... 03:15:12.880 --> 03:15:14.980 What are you listening to? 03:15:16.539 --> 03:15:18.280 What are you listening to? 03:15:18.310 --> 03:15:19.280 Are you listening to? 03:15:19.280 --> 03:15:19.660 Close the door. 03:15:20.340 --> 03:15:23.740 Oh, is that bar? 03:15:24.180 --> 03:15:24.460 I don't know. 03:15:24.979 --> 03:15:26.580 She said she was going to be back about now. 03:15:26.920 --> 03:15:27.240 Shh. 03:15:28.510 --> 03:15:28.620 Shh. 03:15:28.900 --> 03:15:29.280 Oh. 03:15:31.199 --> 03:15:58.300 *laughs* Nice. Excuse me. Dude! I'm like looking at all your tapes now. Did you steal this from me from high school? Yeah I know right? Like seriously. Are we splitting this or am I just supposed to drink this? Nah just do it. Huh? Nah. Just drink it? Come on. Yeah. Go for it. Just do it. Come on. Oh way to share. Well you guys are done. I asked if you want. 03:15:59.300 --> 03:16:28.720 I gotta drive, you know. I got better stuff than that crap. Oh, thanks. What are you drinking at Budweiser? Yeah, so what are we drinking now? Oh, wait, it's just me. No, no, I still have. That's because you're home. Yeah. I don't know what this is. That is the. That's this beer. So the fade to black. Fade to black. All right, well, I am drinking. Yes. The Ninkasi. 03:16:29.300 --> 03:16:58.760 Slayer Winter Owl. Owl. Owl. Owl. Owl. So it's a Paul Simon there. Yeah, exactly. Good. You can call me out. It's kind of like that. We'll play. A little slow on the uptake sometimes when it gets around me though. We're talking cross country so it just took like an extra second to get across. Yeah, there's a delay there. You can see the band and the sound of humor is in a different time zone. Your sound is gone to shit, by the way. 03:16:59.280 --> 03:17:28.080 Yeah, that's better. Incidentally, it doesn't need to cool up. Wait a minute. No, that's not better at all. Okay, hold on. Maybe my settings got fucked up again. No, no, we can hear you. Sort of. Bring your red orb up to your face. That's better. Oh, yeah, just a little closer. Almost there. 03:17:29.280 --> 03:17:29.400 Yeah. 03:17:29.400 --> 03:17:29.860 That's my plug. 03:17:30.040 --> 03:17:31.760 One of my settings coming back to the weird people. 03:17:31.920 --> 03:17:32.360 It'll be all right. 03:17:32.580 --> 03:17:34.100 I had to put it close to your nose. 03:17:36.420 --> 03:17:36.920 You like that? 03:17:37.360 --> 03:17:37.500 Yeah. 03:17:38.240 --> 03:17:38.500 Do it. 03:17:38.850 --> 03:17:39.480 Do it like that. 03:17:39.650 --> 03:17:40.000 Do it like that. 03:17:40.170 --> 03:17:40.280 Yes. 03:17:41.840 --> 03:17:42.360 Oh, boy. 03:17:42.700 --> 03:17:42.820 Yes. 03:17:42.960 --> 03:17:43.140 All right. 03:17:43.760 --> 03:17:46.220 We are to our number one albums. 03:17:46.220 --> 03:17:47.020 Number one. 03:17:48.580 --> 03:17:49.900 This is the numero uno. 03:17:50.970 --> 03:17:52.920 I guess we can't do the, like, number one. 03:17:53.080 --> 03:17:54.140 Number one. 03:17:54.720 --> 03:17:54.900 What? 03:17:55.400 --> 03:17:58.060 We can, but it'd be kind of a dick move. 03:17:58.100 --> 03:18:27.700 I just want to point out that the most obvious DVD on the giant rack of DVDs that George has down here is Jersey Girl. Hey man, Kevin Smith. Yeah. Again, I have to follow that up and it's really difficult. Number one. Number one for me. Number one is Cannibal Corpse. No, I'm sorry. It's Michael Shanker. The Michael Shanker Fest live in Tokyo. Whoa. 03:18:28.080 --> 03:18:28.760 Wow. 03:18:29.899 --> 03:18:31.140 I really enjoyed. 03:18:31.780 --> 03:18:32.700 Did you say Shanker Fest? 03:18:33.140 --> 03:18:34.380 Yes, as a matter of fact. 03:18:35.160 --> 03:18:36.300 That's actually what it's called, yeah. 03:18:37.220 --> 03:18:40.280 And actually, he's touring next year, and I'm going to see him in March. 03:18:41.040 --> 03:18:41.380 Awesome. 03:18:42.000 --> 03:18:49.240 Dude, I saw him in a small bar out here four, five, six years ago, and it was fucking rad, dude. 03:18:49.410 --> 03:18:50.860 He was so fucking good. 03:18:51.230 --> 03:18:57.100 I mean, now that he's sober, he's just like kicking ass, and Do You White is tremendous. 03:18:57.600 --> 03:19:27.480 But this Michael Schenker Fest, of course, has all the guys that sang for the Michael Schenker group. And, you know. Macaulay Culkin? You know who I'm talking about, though. Yeah, I won't even. Yeah, I'm not even going to, you know. Macaulay Schenker, whatever it was. Yeah, well, yeah, all right, never mind. Yeah, so I'm looking forward to seeing that live in the U.S. next March. But in the meantime, I've been listening. 03:19:27.600 --> 03:19:54.940 to the live show from Tokyo. And that's my number one. Excellent. Nice. Very cool choice. All right, Matt. It's down to this. My number one is Enslaved, and the album is called Eh. Nice. That is John's number one. I don't know. I don't know if it is. John, is it your number one? Enslaved would have been my number nine. That's right. 03:19:58.020 --> 03:20:26.780 So we're a little past number nine. Yeah, number nine. Number one. Oh. Mid-year? Not much has changed during this year. From Baltimore. Exist. So true, so bound. Oh, I thought you were going to say from Baltimore. No, Ordos. Suck it, Will. They dropped off my list. Oh my god. Exactly. 03:20:27.600 --> 03:20:55.120 I thought it was going to be number one. Nope. Exist is number one. Yes! It's a great album. It dropped off my list, but it is a great album. Which one are you talking about? Exist or Ordos? No. Well, they both dropped off my list. Well, Ordos was never on my list. Exist was. I had a tough time at the end. There was a few albums like Black Anvil was another one that I just struggled not putting on my list because I liked that album so much. 03:20:57.600 --> 03:21:27.520 Yeah, I dropped that one too. That's another one. I haven't dropped a band off my list because they took a pop shot at Rush, so I was like, fuck you off my list. Who was that? Power Trip. Fuck them. They took a cheap shot at Rush, so I was like, fuck you. Not even my honorable mention. Oh, me neither. You don't mess with my friends up north. They're hosers, eh? Take off to the great wide north. That's right. Eh. All right, Will, what do you got? It's creative. 03:21:27.600 --> 03:21:57.380 Gods of Violence. No way. I know. It's so crazy. I know. But it is an unbelievable album for a band that's been around that long that can put out an album like that and still surpass previous efforts. And that's what I love about it. Will, was that your number one for mid-year? Yeah, he didn't want to work too hard. He did it, John, apparently. 03:21:57.600 --> 03:22:26.960 Yeah, not that I'm insulting you. No, you are insulting us. I'm not, because they're good albums. Damn right they are. Okay. Excuse me. All right, Jay, bring it. A band that has been close to my heart for five, six, seven, eight albums, they always are listers. Sometimes, like this year, they put what I call a little extra pepper on it. 03:22:27.600 --> 03:22:57.520 And they come up with a record called E.E. Enslaved. Excellent, sir. I believe we'll have a new number one. Sorry, what's the band? Enslaved. I still have trouble. My mic, it's not in my list of preferences anymore, so this is the way I'm going to sound for the rest of the podcast. I feel like a dick putting him at number nine now. Yeah, you do. What? Yeah, you look like a dick. What the fuck? You want to feel even more like a dick? My number one is Enslaved. E.E. 03:22:57.580 --> 03:22:58.280 Yes! 03:23:02.240 --> 03:23:03.480 Oh, that is awesome. 03:23:04.880 --> 03:23:06.420 Really? You went number one too? 03:23:06.560 --> 03:23:06.940 Hell yeah! 03:23:07.980 --> 03:23:08.700 I just... 03:23:09.439 --> 03:23:10.420 George and I were both talking about... 03:23:10.420 --> 03:23:12.480 You don't get it. He ain't getting it from me. 03:23:14.040 --> 03:23:16.280 He dried up. He did not get that from me. 03:23:16.380 --> 03:23:16.760 Wow! 03:23:18.100 --> 03:23:18.460 Hell yeah. 03:23:18.600 --> 03:23:22.940 I can say right off the bat, Enslave will be number one on our list. 03:23:22.960 --> 03:23:23.460 It's gotta be. 03:23:23.980 --> 03:23:24.540 Three number ones. 03:23:25.479 --> 03:23:53.980 It's four top tens? Wait, it's not your number one. It's my number nine. Nine? Number nine. One? Three ones. There's no getting around that. Wait, is Matt your number one? Yeah. Jay your number one? Yeah. It's my number one? It was still my number nine. Hasn't changed. And if you want to go right again, it was Matt's number one. It was also my number one. It was also mine. Will, if it's any consolation, it wasn't on my list. I honestly will say. 03:23:54.600 --> 03:24:24.500 Listen to it. This year you are the jackass. I know. I'm always the guy who doesn't have... I'm always the guy who doesn't have the shitty album that everyone else likes. Or you're the guy who chose the shitty album over the good album. Uh-huh. Uh... Mm-hmm. Wow, I did not see three number ones of the same, no matter what album. Honestly, I thought we would have four. I really did. Mm-hmm. I didn't realize Will was so against it. 03:24:24.580 --> 03:24:53.240 I thought he liked it. I knew me and George were going to do it. We told each other back when it came out. We were like, this is my favorite. As long as I've known John for a long time. Very long time. You love him long time. Well, yeah. Pure Alabama black snake right here. We get loved a long time. And I remember John has always been an O-Pet and a slave fan. And I just don't get enslaved. I don't get it. 03:24:54.580 --> 03:25:24.240 I listened to the new album and I just didn't like it. Here's the thing. Guys, listen to me. Here's the thing. I like proggy stuff. Perihalian Ship is very proggy. And I love it. I think it's because it's more of a death metal proggy. It's progressive black. Progressive death. 03:25:28.939 --> 03:25:54.440 But I listened to it, but I just, it was like, like the whole first, like the song I remember listening to is like, just get to the point. Like that's one of the ones where we talked about, skip the first song, get right. It's like seven minutes of get to the point. No, it wasn't seven minutes, but all right, it was six. Anyway, I'm not, I'm not shitting on it. I just, I'm just saying. No, 03:25:54.600 --> 03:26:23.500 I'm just saying I don't get it. If it's not Scottish, it's crap! I didn't say it was crap. I didn't say it was Scottish. It's neither Scottish nor crap. What I'm saying is I just don't get it. I think it's a moot point. Eight minutes, 13 seconds. It will be a number one selection for the podcast. I don't have an issue with that. Yeah, you do. Apparently you just went on some fucking big asses. 03:26:24.580 --> 03:26:54.560 Blah blah blah blah blah Blah 03:26:54.600 --> 03:26:55.000 here. 03:26:55.400 --> 03:26:56.520 Where does this come from? 03:26:57.040 --> 03:26:58.280 It came from my office. 03:26:58.500 --> 03:27:00.040 Did you just say you wanted a little taste? 03:27:00.540 --> 03:27:01.380 I want a little taste. 03:27:02.320 --> 03:27:02.600 Wow. 03:27:03.399 --> 03:27:07.060 I am surprised that Insulated got the number one. 03:27:07.440 --> 03:27:07.760 And happy. 03:27:09.040 --> 03:27:11.620 Well, I don't want to drink it after you just put your lips all over it. 03:27:11.620 --> 03:27:13.240 Why don't you just shut it right down your throat? 03:27:13.260 --> 03:27:14.060 Or I can put it. 03:27:14.280 --> 03:27:15.320 Why don't you just rim jog it? 03:27:15.440 --> 03:27:16.000 Just keep it. 03:27:17.180 --> 03:27:17.720 That's it. 03:27:18.180 --> 03:27:18.600 Keep going. 03:27:19.460 --> 03:27:20.060 Tall, thick can. 03:27:20.060 --> 03:27:21.960 Meanwhile, as the podcast kept spiraling. 03:27:21.980 --> 03:27:23.480 Hey, back on topic here. 03:27:24.440 --> 03:27:24.560 All right. 03:27:24.560 --> 03:27:25.240 All right, well, 03:27:25.440 --> 03:27:26.020 so by the way, 03:27:26.160 --> 03:27:27.760 what everyone was talking about is, 03:27:28.240 --> 03:27:29.880 I just popped open this giant, 03:27:30.579 --> 03:27:31.060 long, 03:27:31.640 --> 03:27:31.820 thick, 03:27:32.400 --> 03:27:32.740 black, 03:27:33.280 --> 03:27:34.720 can of, 03:27:35.480 --> 03:27:36.140 and black, 03:27:36.540 --> 03:27:36.680 uh, 03:27:37.060 --> 03:27:37.620 Oscar Blues, 03:27:37.980 --> 03:27:39.420 10.50 Imperial Stout, 03:27:39.680 --> 03:27:40.560 barrel aged, 03:27:40.800 --> 03:27:41.240 10.50, 03:27:41.600 --> 03:27:42.400 10.50, 03:27:42.400 --> 03:27:42.520 sorry, 03:27:42.640 --> 03:27:43.180 10.50, 03:27:44.500 --> 03:27:45.720 which you know what 10.50 means? 03:27:46.080 --> 03:27:46.880 $10.50. 03:27:47.540 --> 03:27:47.780 No. 03:27:48.940 --> 03:27:50.240 It's supposed to be like the motor oil, 03:27:50.460 --> 03:27:51.400 10.50 motor oil. 03:27:51.420 --> 03:28:20.020 Well, it is quite thick.

Wow. Not just a bag of shit. So are we... You have them? Have we come to that point? Yes. If you have them. I'm going to just kind of lump everything together. Yeah, all of them together. Giant pile of shit. Go ahead. So there's a couple of albums that I enjoyed and listened to and kind of didn't make the cut, but were also 03:28:51.420 --> 03:29:20.860 So quite good. Trevor Dubraw, who is part of Pelican, he released a post-rock album called Uptown. It's a little more ambient, but I enjoyed that. I thought that was quite good. There's another post-rock album called Sound Architects is the band, and the album is called In Time of Need, which I enjoyed. Was it enjoyable, or did you enjoy it? It was enjoyable, and I enjoyed it. 03:29:21.859 --> 03:29:22.460 And then, 03:29:22.460 --> 03:29:22.480 and then, 03:29:22.850 --> 03:29:22.960 uh, 03:29:24.630 --> 03:29:24.780 uh, 03:29:25.300 --> 03:29:28.940 so I'm going to include a couple of books on my, 03:29:30.380 --> 03:29:30.480 uh, 03:29:31.159 --> 03:29:31.980 what do you call this? 03:29:32.320 --> 03:29:32.820 Honorable mention. 03:29:33.000 --> 03:29:33.860 Is this a list? 03:29:34.020 --> 03:29:34.120 Yeah. 03:29:34.460 --> 03:29:35.140 Is this book club? 03:29:35.400 --> 03:29:36.400 So this is book club. 03:29:36.660 --> 03:29:39.160 And one of the books is metal heads book club, 03:29:39.230 --> 03:29:41.680 the metal heads book club, 03:29:43.070 --> 03:29:43.180 uh, 03:29:43.420 --> 03:29:45.280 running with the devil by Noel monk. 03:29:46.400 --> 03:29:47.380 It's a interesting, 03:29:48.010 --> 03:29:48.120 uh, 03:29:48.280 --> 03:29:49.040 behind the scenes. 03:29:49.240 --> 03:29:50.760 Look at Van Halen. 03:29:50.840 --> 03:30:19.340 by their former manager, Noel Monk. I guess the statute of limitations has run out, so he's able to write a book now. And it's actually pretty interesting. So they were dicks, is what he's saying. Oh, big time. Oh, I gotta read that then. And I tell you, what they did to Michael Anthony is disgraceful. It is. Unbelievable. Eddie and Alex Van Halen can fuck themselves. Was it like 5% or something? Oh, dude, they completely wrote him out of everything. 03:30:20.840 --> 03:30:50.800 From the beginning? From the beginning. Actually, yes. If you read this book, you find out what they did to him. When they made the 1984 album, they had him basically take himself off of all the writing credits of everything that had come before. Wow. Yes. And he did it. And half of that music was pre-Van Halen 1, too. Some of that stuff. Oh, yeah. On that album, yeah. Yeah. And it's really... 03:30:52.520 --> 03:31:20.800 What was the rationale? The fucking greedy bastards is the rationale. It was money. Yeah. And you know. Now this was the royalties off of the album sales. This was a songwriting. Publishing. Basically songwriting credits. Publishing, yeah. So he was still going to get money from touring. From touring. But he wasn't going to get money from record sales. Even from touring. All the money comes from publishing. Well, yeah. The majority of it. And the touring piece, he was just like a high school. 03:31:20.840 --> 03:31:49.740 He was a hired band member. He wasn't even part of the band. But they were playing massive shows at that point. It doesn't matter, man. Publishing is where the money's at. Well, but Michael Anthony is rich now. Oh, no doubt. And he has always been rich. But I agree with you. I mean, I not agree with you. I mean, they may have written him out, but he still made a lawyer. He's not hurting for cash, but at the same time, if he got what he deserved, he would get way more than he received, which is really unfortunate. 03:31:50.820 --> 03:32:19.960 My other honorable mention for books is What Does This Button Do? by Bruce Dickinson. Hell yeah. Which I've been reading and I'm really, it's a great book. If you like Maiden and you like Bruce Dickinson, it's a very good book. And each of the chapters is fairly short. So it's a pretty easy read and it really draws you in. It's pretty interesting to see some of the things that happen along the way that maybe you didn't know. 03:32:19.980 --> 03:32:49.960 Even if you were a super fan of the band, there's a lot of background information that I discovered that I didn't really know. And I've always been a big fan of Iron Maiden. So I would highly recommend if you're a big fan to check out this What Does This Button Do by Bruce Dickinson. Awesome. Excellent. Yeah. I'm looking forward to reading that. Particularly after last episode when we talked about it. Yeah, I had the good fortune to go to a book signing and got a copy signed for 03:32:50.000 --> 03:32:55.580 I haven't read it either I'm still finishing up some other stuff so I Matt you got any 03:32:55.800 --> 03:32:57.200 honorables I do 03:33:00.521 --> 03:33:09.180 Cormorant Diaspora Archspire Relentless Mutation Set and Setting Reflectionless Satiricon Deep Calls Upon Deep 03:33:10.060 --> 03:33:14.800 I want to say they're called Sonnet or Sonhet or Sanhet albums called So Numb 03:33:15.620 --> 03:33:19.960 Crip Rot Embryonic Devils Tumult Bereavement of Flesh 03:33:19.980 --> 03:33:49.420 Worship, Witch Vomit, Poison Blood, Obituary Subtitled, Narcotic Wasteland, Temple of Void, Lords of Death. You're welcome, because I'm just a demigod. You know it's okay. Anyway. Yes, Matt gets it, thank you. False Hunger, Gorephilia, Severed Monolith, Spark Crown, Ebreaction, Morbid Angel, Kingdom's Disdained, and Altarage, 03:33:49.980 --> 03:33:50.720 Indy Hint. 03:33:50.920 --> 03:33:51.600 Hey, Matt. 03:33:51.840 --> 03:33:52.280 And that is it. 03:33:52.340 --> 03:33:52.940 Let me ask you this. 03:33:53.100 --> 03:33:57.940 For the Morbid Angel, if you had more time with it, do you think it would make your list? 03:33:58.140 --> 03:33:59.540 Or is it just... 03:34:00.819 --> 03:34:03.940 From what I listened to it, I feel like if I gave it more time, it would have been on my list. 03:34:03.940 --> 03:34:05.140 Yeah, I thought it might be on your list. 03:34:06.020 --> 03:34:09.540 Can I just say they also get the prize for the creepiest song title of the year? 03:34:09.640 --> 03:34:12.760 That title track, or the first track on the record is called Piles of... 03:34:12.800 --> 03:34:13.300 Little Arms? 03:34:13.500 --> 03:34:15.800 I thought maybe it was about Donald Trump, but I wasn't sure. 03:34:18.480 --> 03:34:47.520 That's not. It's about... I'm not, but that was what I thought. Let me get political. It's not. Let's get political. Is that an Olivia Newton-John reference? That's Olivia Newton-Reznor. I'm not a fan, so I guess I didn't know that. Any other things you wanted to mention about the year? No. All right. John, boy, cue up the crickets for my... Oh, yeah. For my honorable mentions. Real quick. 03:34:48.480 --> 03:35:17.260 Black Anvil As Was, Contortionist, Clairvoyant, Dreadnought, Awakened Sacred Waves, XDO The Immortal Waves, Felwarden, Oathbearer, Fen Winter, Lithium Dawn, Tearing Back the Veil 2, Awakening. Monolord, Rush, Rust, excuse me. It says Rush on there. What happened there? Must have been drinking my list together. Wait, does Rush have an album called Monolord? Monolord. 03:35:19.300 --> 03:35:48.220 George, help me with this one. This is the dude from Utah. The album's called The Immutable Stars. Oh, uh. Namarath? I don't know. Oh, Namarath? That's actually a pretty cool album. Yeah. But it takes a lot of listens. Yeah, it's good. Will's favorite album of the century, Ordos' House of the Dead. So, I'm curious. 03:35:48.480 --> 03:36:17.840 You're the one who told us all about it. George, I'm the one that told you all about it. You didn't listen. We weren't even here to hear it, so how could we? No. All right, I'm going to say this because I listened to it recently and I thought, oh, it's actually way better than I thought it was, but it's still not list-worthy. Paradise Lost Medusa. It's actually not a bad album. It's not. No, it's good. It's just not. It's not as good as. 03:36:18.480 --> 03:36:48.460 The Plague Within. Persephone, I mentioned them earlier. Athem or whatever it's called. Threshold, Legends of the Shires, Voyager, Ghost Mile, and a band nobody mentioned at all today, which I'm surprised. With the Dead, Love from With the Dead. Yeah. It's good. Not list-worthy, but it's good. I thought the first one was better. And I guess I like... They need a little more pace in their sound, I think. Yeah, I guess from the case between last year and this year is that last year they sounded more like 03:36:48.480 --> 03:37:18.100 Electric Wizard. Electric Wizard. Electric Wizard. But it was better put together than Electric Wizard. This year it sounds more like Cathedral. Yes. But it's not put together as well as Cathedral. But it's still good. It's a little long. Yeah. That's the problem. Alright. My honorable mentions. In alphabetical order. And every single one of these things was on my list at some point. So in alphabetical order. Azeroth. 03:37:28.459 --> 03:37:31.260 La Fuerza. 03:37:48.480 --> 03:38:18.420 Obviously, I have Morbid Angel on my list. And that just released 24 hours ago. Yeah. But you have a history with Morbid Angel. You know Morbid Angel. So it's kind of different. I've never heard of Desolate Shrine before or Cloak or any of those bands. It takes a little bit longer. And like I've said a million times on this podcast, this episode is that, God, if Morbid Angel put out anything that was half decent and it's better than I, 03:38:18.979 --> 03:38:44.340 People are going to lose their minds for it. I know I'm a hypocrite in some of these ways. Such a hypocrite. Exhumed, Death Revenge, Exit, So True So Bound. Thank you, John, for telling me about that. I do dig it. We were talking about it on the way up here. One that was really close to getting on my list was Full of Hell, Trumpeting Ecstasy. 03:38:48.480 --> 03:38:52.080 He's just like, uh... 03:38:55.100 --> 03:38:56.680 I don't like them, I'm sorry. 03:38:57.839 --> 03:39:00.020 It's grindcore. Do you like Pig Destroyer? I do. 03:39:00.800 --> 03:39:02.980 How do you not like Full of Hell? Because they suck. 03:39:04.540 --> 03:39:05.520 Pig Destroyer doesn't suck. 03:39:08.740 --> 03:39:11.160 Well, okay then. It's a little more hardcore than... 03:39:12.460 --> 03:39:15.600 It's hardcore. I mean, yeah, it's more hardcore than Pig Destroyer is. 03:39:15.820 --> 03:39:17.020 However, it's still good. 03:39:18.060 --> 03:39:48.040 God to Throne, which I'm a huge fucking fan of God to Throne. I was surprised that wasn't on your list. Well, it was on my list because, again, I have a history with God to Throne. Some of the previous albums are just un-fucking-believable, and this one, it's good. It's God to Throne. It just wasn't there. The Hall of Catharsis, my buddy Kevin Ems, who's a fellow brewer out in Canada, and their album, Solar 03:39:48.820 --> 03:40:16.940 It's really, really good. It's a lot of jazz fusion shit going on there. Our Penis, Cast of First Stone, Lyceum, Vengeance. Oh, yeah. Do you guys remember that? Fucking Blake. Yeah. It's a really good album. Nailed to Obscurity was on my list for a long time. King of Illusion. This was one of the ones that just, they have some clean singing there. 03:40:18.080 --> 03:40:48.000 It's not that it's clean singing. It's just that the clean singing is not good. Narcotic Wasteland. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Owl Crusher. Self-titled Owl Crusher. Overkill, The Grinding Wheel. I'm surprised I didn't hear more of that. I love Overkill. The formula hasn't changed much. Yeah, it hasn't changed much. I'm winning for that. 03:40:48.080 --> 03:41:17.740 That like the years of decay or taking over. Yeah. Keep waiting. Yeah. Not a knock on them. I just. No. Yeah. It's just what it is. It's not bad. It's just. No. Yeah. No. I mean to me it's great. I enjoy listening to it. I was hoping for a little bit better. Primitive Man. Caustic. This one was probably the only reason this was not on my main list is I didn't want to get a lot of shit for it because it wasn't metal. Clutch released in acoustic. 03:41:18.080 --> 03:41:47.960 Justin Bieber. No. Radio Moscow, New Beginnings. Oh, yeah. I didn't like it. Oh, it's fucking great. Oh, it's great. Slaghead. There it is. Yeah. Fanantanat. Wait a minute. You were going on about that and they didn't make your list. Me? Yeah. No, I said it was good. I really liked it. I just... I like all the things on my honorable mentions. I'm just saying. 03:41:48.659 --> 03:42:17.920 This is in alphabetical order, by the way. Every single one of these albums were on the list at some point. Two more, Spectral Voice, Eroded Quarter as a Being. See, I'm surprised by that one. I thought that would be on your list. I did too. I like it. It just got bumped. I do, but I don't. And then the last one, With the Dead. Love. Production. From With the Dead. Yeah, I agree. That production on it is just... It's a cool album, but the production irks me. It works for Blood Incantation. 03:42:18.080 --> 03:42:47.940 It doesn't work for that enough for some reason. And then I will say that no one else will have this, but the EPs that I absolutely fucking love this year is Excommunion Thranosis, Bantha Rider. Yes, that's right. I remember that. Bantha Rider is awesome. Star Wars. Star Wars and then Funeral Fuck. Funeral Fuck? Yeah. Okay. They're not Star Wars. I just didn't make sure I heard that right. Funeral Fuck. 03:42:48.080 --> 03:43:17.500 and the lecherous liturgies. Not funeral fog like mayhem. Fog. No. Fog. Okay. Jay. I'm not pretty quick. You can stick if you want. Begarith, Adam, Order, Lex Amenti. I don't know. That's that kind of Celtic prostitute type. They're really cool. Ziggurat, Ritual, Miasma. 03:43:18.080 --> 03:43:47.640 Ackrick Cocker, Renaissance and Extremis. Give George a chance to come for a second. Sorcerer, Crying of the Fire King, Powered to Nightmare Logic, Exhumed to Death Revenge. That was probably, well there was like three or four here that I almost couldn't leave off the list. Me too. Cloak to Venomous Deaths, Wormwood, Moon Curse, Worm Witch, Strike Mortar Soil, and Royal Thunder. 03:43:48.080 --> 03:44:17.900 Ah, yes. And since these are brief, I will just say that I have given up on Mastodon. That was my biggest disappointment of the year. Oh, I have a disappointment. Sorry, go ahead, Jay. Yeah, we got to go back. I was disappointed in the pallbearer, as were many people. I was, and then all three things that I loved that came out this year were the Master Puppets box set, the Creator, and the Celtic Frost vinyl reissues. Yes. Were all lovely. And just fucking all came with great stuff. 03:44:17.900 --> 03:44:47.340 I did notice that a creator just yesterday came out with a little EP. No. What is it? Like an old school thing? No, it was like a little like single and it had, I forget the name. There was a song that, it was a single that, it was a song that came out on the album and they had two sort of like extra tracks on it. Yeah. And there's two extra tracks are fucking awesome. Like they're garbage that they don't put on the album is still awesome. Okay. 03:44:47.920 --> 03:44:51.920 I saw on iTunes. Since you said 03:44:51.980 --> 03:44:53.400 disappointments, I have four. 03:44:55.380 --> 03:44:55.800 I will 03:44:55.840 --> 03:44:57.840 hearken, which is 03:44:57.840 --> 03:44:58.800 a pun for later. 03:45:01.480 --> 03:45:02.060 I know what you're 03:45:02.160 --> 03:45:02.740 talking about there. 03:45:03.620 --> 03:45:05.680 Paul Bear, Heartless. It's not bad. 03:45:05.800 --> 03:45:07.560 It's just disappointing. 03:45:08.820 --> 03:45:10.140 That's a step down. 03:45:11.140 --> 03:45:11.940 I just 03:45:12.160 --> 03:45:12.280 thought 03:45:13.980 --> 03:45:15.340 I'm pretty sure that 03:45:15.960 --> 03:45:17.880 their next album is going to 03:45:47.880 --> 03:46:17.860 A Three Word Review pile of shit, right? Yeah. Tenebrous Labyrinth. They can't put that. I don't know what happened, but it's... Yeah, anyway. And then Prong decided to put out yet a new record, Zero Days. It was Prong-ish. Are we doing disappointments? Yeah, I mean, I put something... Well, I think we were just so disappointed. Half the songs are good, and the other half the 03:46:17.900 --> 03:46:47.860 The songs are like, did Britney Spears produce this? I don't know what the fuck's going on. I feel like that's what you said about the last one, too, Will. It was like every other song was pretty kick-ass to you, but you didn't like it. Right, and that's what this one is. That's all prong albums. Yeah. But, I mean, the older stuff, they're all great, and then this one, now they're like, half of them are good, and then the other half are like, what the fuck are we thinking? It's like all slow-bowdy horse shit. It drives me insane. So can I do my 03:46:48.979 --> 03:47:17.840 You're disappointing me, I know. Oh, you know what's coming. Yeah, so can I just... I only have two. Macedon's definitely a disappointment. Oh, yeah. And actually Paradise Lost, even though it made my honorable mentions, I was still a little disappointed because I was hoping it would have been better. Okay. You were hoping it would have been good enough to be a number one on Decibels list? Yeah, I'm shocked by that. My only disappointment is you guys did not like the Narcana Quizland album. Except for those of you who put it in your honorable mentions. 03:47:18.660 --> 03:47:47.340 So my question is which will happen first? Both Will, John, and TR will get home or George will finish his honorable mentions? There's only like 27 of them or so. Alright, are we ready? Crack the knuckles. We're here to listen this time. We don't want to miss anything. No excuses. Alright, you ready to go? Yep, let's go. In alphabetical order. 03:47:50.159 --> 03:48:17.460 Archspire, Relentless Mutation. I'm surprised that was not on your list. It was. It came off for, I can't remember who, but it was one of the last albums to come off. Attic, Sanctimonious, King Diamond Worship. Auden. I didn't miss that one. Azeroth, An Extremis. Oh, you like, okay. Bell Witch, Mirror Reaper. Black Anvil, as was. That was on Menaced for a long time. 03:48:17.900 --> 03:48:45.800 We're still on B. As what? Blaze of Perdition, Conscious Darkness, Cormorant, Diaspora. One that I was surprised didn't make at least Will's list, Cradle of Filth, Cryptoriana. I don't like Cradle of Filth. You do. I do not. Danny. Dreadnought, Awakens Sacred Waves. I really don't like Dreadnought. Dreadnought's good. Ever Circling Wolves of Woe or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gloom. 03:48:47.900 --> 03:48:48.360 on here too. 03:48:49.899 --> 03:48:50.340 Evocation, 03:48:50.450 --> 03:48:51.480 the shadow archetype, 03:48:52.000 --> 03:48:52.920 exhumed death revenge. 03:48:53.320 --> 03:48:56.640 Another one that should have been on there. 03:48:56.780 --> 03:48:57.600 Ex hum ed. 03:48:58.920 --> 03:48:59.360 Exist. 03:48:59.780 --> 03:48:59.960 Yeah. 03:49:00.200 --> 03:49:00.800 Exist. 03:49:01.220 --> 03:49:01.540 So true. 03:49:01.780 --> 03:49:02.280 So bound. 03:49:03.439 --> 03:49:04.220 Fan winter, 03:49:04.720 --> 03:49:05.620 a flourishing skirt, 03:49:05.790 --> 03:49:06.240 self title. 03:49:06.400 --> 03:49:07.460 Another one that was on there, 03:49:07.680 --> 03:49:08.120 fell off. 03:49:08.899 --> 03:49:09.520 Goat whore, 03:49:09.580 --> 03:49:10.380 vengeful ascension. 03:49:10.460 --> 03:49:11.960 Another one that was on there and fell off. 03:49:12.920 --> 03:49:14.160 Lore in forgotten sleep. 03:49:14.210 --> 03:49:14.700 Do you remember, 03:49:14.830 --> 03:49:17.080 do you remember all the shit we gave you for, 03:49:17.420 --> 03:49:17.660 for, 03:49:17.680 --> 03:49:44.460 We're cutting off the mid-year list at some random day in May. Yeah, that's right. I believe it was May 15th. We have a whole two weeks to go. Anyway. Memoriam for the Fallen. That is the one I saw when you had your list up on the screen. Order, Lexamentia, Procession, Doom Decimation. Wait, what happened to Ordos? You didn't say Ordo. I didn't. 03:49:47.660 --> 03:50:15.580 I'm glad you noticed that. Wow. Playing tomorrow at Atlas Brewery. Replaceer. Do not deviate. Yes! One that nobody's heard. S-Tool. Tolerance Zero. It's V-Lay from Sentenced. His new band. It's fucking awesome. This was on my list and it really hurt to cut. Septic Flesh. Codex Omega. Really should have been on there. Hey Jay, you didn't say Septic Flesh. I thought you were... It didn't resonate with me. 03:50:17.660 --> 03:50:47.640 It was too samey. As much as the other 25 did? Yeah. Yeah. No, exactly, dude. I mean, yeah. No, it just fell off. All right. Four more. This one came from our buddy Neutrino, and it hurt, but Siberian Through Ages of Sleep, Spirit Adrift, Curse of Conception, Urarv, Orem. That's the dude, the former 03:50:49.679 --> 03:51:17.240 I will not try to pronounce his name. It looks like it hurt to say that. Yeah. I could tell if you were burping. I was burping. Wait a minute. And my last one. Vampire with Primeval Forest. Jay didn't even mention it. Oh yeah. I forgot. I forgot George. That was an oversight by me. It should have been an honorable mention. It is a cool record. Alright. Does anyone else have disappointments? Does anyone else have a fart or a worm? I'm kind of disappointed that we're at the end. Yeah. 03:51:18.879 --> 03:51:22.020 I have one more disappointment to add. I wish the Morbid Angel had come up. 03:51:22.320 --> 03:51:22.400 Yeah. 03:51:23.360 --> 03:51:25.240 Because I think it would have fared better on all of our lists. 03:51:25.460 --> 03:51:26.720 It took pretty well regardless. 03:51:27.180 --> 03:51:27.280 Yeah. 03:51:27.480 --> 03:51:29.360 I mean, it was on, what, three or four lists? 03:51:29.560 --> 03:51:29.740 Three? 03:51:30.220 --> 03:51:30.740 It was on my list. 03:51:30.740 --> 03:51:30.920 It was. 03:51:31.380 --> 03:51:31.900 My list. 03:51:32.060 --> 03:51:32.780 Did not make my list. 03:51:32.940 --> 03:51:33.820 Jay, your list? 03:51:35.560 --> 03:51:35.860 Matt? 03:51:36.420 --> 03:51:36.880 It was on mine. 03:51:37.460 --> 03:51:38.020 Honorable Mention. 03:51:38.080 --> 03:51:39.580 I haven't listened to it yet, so that's why. 03:51:40.060 --> 03:51:41.720 Are Honorable Mention's going to get points? 03:51:42.740 --> 03:51:42.900 No. 03:51:43.400 --> 03:51:43.880 They should. 03:51:44.820 --> 03:52:14.740 Like one point for honorable mention, two for... No, I don't know. You're the statistician. I would say honorable mention is off the top 25. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway... Who do you really want me to promote? I don't know. I just thought... So what do you think? Number one is obviously Enslaved. Yes. Yeah. I think Perihalian Ship is going to be up there. Actually, Perihalian Ship might squeeze by at number one because it was on every single one. Yeah, but three number one. 03:52:14.820 --> 03:52:44.380 Oh, but if you have three, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ordos, we have two times. I'll say now, please don't get a fact. Are we including Mats as the official? Yeah. Okay. All right. So then. We can't include TRs because. No, no, no. No, not that bad. Yeah. So it's not on anybody else's list. Well, I'm saying it's like, Camel Course will be high because there was two number twos. Yeah. 03:52:44.820 --> 03:53:14.060 Yeah. Yeah. Witchery was pretty high. I had witchery. Yeah. Oh, Nocturnal Mortem was on a few less. That's actually going to be pretty high. We'll see. So please send me. Yeah. After we post this episode, John will work his magic and do the statistics and figure out the combined list for everybody. Just email me your list as soon as you want, so I'll get it done, and then we'll wait to post everything. But just get it to me so I can get it out of the way. Yep. Right on. 03:53:14.840 --> 03:53:44.800 So where are we? We're done. Yeah, we're four hours and 18 minutes. That's actually faster than a regular episode. Yeah, it'll edit down a bit, but... Four hours and maybe 15 minutes. We'll take out George's fart and we're ready to go. All right, well... So I just want to say, first of all, just thank you very much for allowing 03:53:44.840 --> 03:54:14.700 be part of the calamity and the mayhem. I enjoyed every bit of this. Peace. It was even better than I actually thought it would be. And Will is just clinking out of control here. Well, we're doing jingle bells right now. Yes. So thank you very much. I appreciate being part of this. You're always welcome. I really enjoyed seeing how this is like firsthand after being a listener for a very long time. You're not shocked and running away? 03:54:14.820 --> 03:54:42.800 No, no, no. It's interesting because when you listen to this and you listen to the podcast, you have a sense of what it's about because each of you guys has the stuff that you like. I think the listeners and the people that are into this have a pretty good sense of each person because you guys have very distinct personalities. 03:54:44.840 --> 03:55:14.640 And it was really cool to actually be present physically here to see what this is about. And that's kind of really what I wanted to see. Jerking the penis. Hit it. It's taking too long. Jerking the penis. Yes, thank you. It's a long time to see. To see firsthand what this is really like. And so I really enjoyed this. I had a great time. I'm surprised. I would have thought you'd been like, 03:55:14.840 --> 03:55:43.360 This is all it is? No, no. This is fun, man. Hold on. Let's be honest. TR got to partake in a lot of really good phenomenal meetings. I gotta say, thanks to Will and John for some really awesome beers. John actually brought the heavy hitters. Yes. And I will say, you got a job out of this gig, too. Yeah. Hello, John. Hello, and welcome to the Metals Podcast. My name is TR, and I'm here to present to you. 03:55:44.840 --> 03:56:14.800 Take it away, George. And now here's George for the Metal Hits podcast. Let's take a station break and hear from Paul and it. So thank you guys very much for including me. And I really had a great time. It was great to see you, Jay and Matt. You too, buddy. To see you guys live. Yeah, you too. It was really very cool. And thank you very much for participating. And I just enjoyed it very much. So thanks very much for 03:56:14.840 --> 03:56:44.400 of having me here today. No, of course. And TR, I got to totally echo your thoughts. I mean, I think the same thing for somebody who's been listening to this podcast for a few years, you know, enjoying it, especially the year-end episode, listening to the lists. It's been a ton of fun to actually be a part of that. So thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. We, I think I speak for all of us. Just thank you for one, being a listener. And we all sort of knew you from Bandcamp and Twitter and stuff. And then like, and obviously, 03:56:44.820 --> 03:57:14.540 Thanks for contributing to the website. And more importantly, first and foremost, making sure I don't fucking die at Valken. Yeah. For putting up with George at Valken and still enduring the podcast. Yeah. At what point did you and Neutrino just say, maybe we should just leave him and go? Yeah. It's a loss. We're just going to write this one off. Props to Eric for being like, keeping me alive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a medical guy, but yeah, it was totally a no, no, 03:57:14.660 --> 03:57:44.340 Man Left Behind and Honestly, that's part of the fun is just kind of surviving, you know, and laughing about it eventually afterwards. I've got like a quarter-sized scar on my leg now, but I wear it as a badge of honor now. Cool. Absolutely. Well, thank you, Matt. Seriously, appreciate it. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you, guys. All right. Well, do we do the circle jerk now or? And now with the circle jerk. All right. We'll stop the recording. Then we'll get to that. 03:57:44.680 --> 03:58:14.580 But yeah, here we are. It's the end of the year. We'll be back in January. I already have a band in mind who may have been mentioned once or twice tonight. And hopefully another non-band we'll have soon. Hoping. Non-band. Maybe a promoter. They're not a band? Oh, yes. Maybe. Which Will would be very interesting because Will does some promoting now a little bit. Yeah, Will is a promoter. 03:58:29.900 --> 03:58:30.560 O que é que é o que é? 03:58:47.760 --> 03:58:48.860 Oh, man. 03:58:52.760 --> 03:58:53.140 Penis. 03:58:57.699 --> 03:59:00.900 Jay, anything you've said in the last five minutes is not on tape. 03:59:00.940 --> 03:59:01.740 It was washed away. 03:59:04.000 --> 03:59:06.160 It's all garbled because you have a penis in your mouth. 03:59:08.080 --> 03:59:09.320 I can't hear you at all. 03:59:11.120 --> 03:59:11.260 Really? 03:59:11.960 --> 03:59:12.900 No, we can hear you. 03:59:13.000 --> 03:59:42.520 No, we can hear you. We're just fucking with you because you have a dick in your mouth. Either way. I think this does not work. Yeah, no, it's good. Oh, do that again. Do that again. Work it. Work it. All right. I'll smash my computer. All right, well, yeah. All right. So next time you hear us, it will be 2018. Yes, and we'll start all over again. Yep. All of this will be washed away. The slate will be clean. 03:59:43.000 --> 04:00:11.320 And I guess we'll see what 2018 holds. Clean those fart socks. That's another band that will be in the top ten. All right. Until next year, we remain the Metalheads Podcast. See ya. All right. So you thought the year-end episode was over, but unfortunately the year hasn't ended yet. 04:00:12.100 --> 04:00:41.920 And we just got some news today that kind of sucked. So John and I decided to get together and just have a little quick chat about it. So this morning I'm just enjoying my morning. La la la. Holiday spirit and all that. And then John drops this bomb like, hey, you hear anything about like World Dane dying or something like that? Why don't you pick it up from there? Yeah, I saw a tweet from Glenn from Prague Power had posted a lyric and it just said, 04:00:42.761 --> 04:01:09.160 And I'm thinking, I only know one Worrall in music, and it's Worrall Dane. So I asked if any of us knew about it via our chat that we have through Facebook. And it didn't seem like you knew about it, and I wasn't unsure because I didn't see any legitimate sources. So I guess after about 15 minutes, we started getting some real sources. 04:01:09.600 --> 04:01:39.560 Yeah, I went online and as I always do, I'm like, no, don't let it be true. And Wikipedia, that fountain of hard knowledge, in fact, said that he had died in Sao Paulo. And I was like, huh. But then like a minute later, I refreshed and they'd removed it and he was alive again. Sort of like Tom Petty. He was alive. He was dead. He was dead. He was alive. 04:01:39.620 --> 04:02:08.920 Live. And I couldn't find any other instances on the internet, so I was like, well, maybe it's bullshit. Yeah, you know, on every site that I saw, because I decided to go to Twitter, I guess, since it seems like you can search a little bit easier there, even though I find half the stuff people post to be crap. And I didn't see any legitimate sources that we knew. I saw some sources from other countries, not that they're not legitimate, but I just didn't know what sources they were. 04:02:08.940 --> 04:02:38.620 Some of them I didn't speak the language, obviously, or couldn't read it. So, and I think I made a snarky comment. I said, where's Blabbermouth on this? You'd think that they would already be on this. You know, anytime Corey Taylor has something to say, they're right there. And literally, as I'm saying that, it pops up on my screen. So, I figured at that point, it probably was legit coming from them. And then it literally started floodgating from there all over the place. Yeah. So, unfortunately, it turns out to be true. 04:02:39.439 --> 04:03:08.600 And in case you're like Will, who's like, who the fuck is Woreld Dane? Woreld Dane was the singer for Sanctuary and then for Nevermore. And then when Nevermore went tits up, he reformed Sanctuary. And I got to say, it's kind of been an emotional day for me. This is one of those things where you hear about it and you're like, oh, that sucks. And then it just sort of starts growing. 04:03:08.960 --> 04:03:09.680 inside you. 04:03:10.580 --> 04:03:11.940 And you start thinking about it. 04:03:11.940 --> 04:03:17.600 And you're like, man, you know, I was lucky enough to see Sanctuary play at Valken a couple of months ago. 04:03:19.280 --> 04:03:35.260 And then from there, I started thinking about how the Valken show was the sort of 30 years since the first time I'd seen Sanctuary play back in 1987 when they were on tour with Megadeth, I believe it was, for their first album, Refuge Denied. 04:03:35.660 --> 04:04:05.540 And that's when I just started getting really kind of sentimental and choked up about the whole thing. I don't know. It's just messed up. You know, I just saw the guy and he was awesome. And it was a very sentimental set for me. Aside from the 30 year anniversary, it was this windy, rainy, cold day in Germany. And it was just so badass to hear them playing. And I'm glad I got that, you know, because now obviously Sanctuary and Nevermore are both pretty much, 04:04:05.680 --> 04:04:14.760 done for I would assume yeah for me I wouldn't and I wouldn't call myself a a super 04:04:14.980 --> 04:04:22.080 massive world Dane fan but what hit me more than anything else is that there's so many guys I should say guys but 04:04:22.160 --> 04:04:35.640 they've all been guys so far but so many musicians are starting to go that are close to our age which is making it a little harder you know for some of these when you hear about them you know didn't we just 04:04:35.660 --> 04:04:59.620 I have one, what, a month and a half ago from Celtic Frost, another Martin one. And these guys are all our age, or roughly our age. Some of us are close to those ages. Although I do believe they've been getting Worrell's age wrong on some of the reports. He's a little bit older than they're reporting. 04:05:05.660 --> 04:05:34.300 him like 18 years old when the first album came out. That would be pretty hard to do considering that they were around for a little bit before they got signed. Yeah. So that was obviously incorrect information. Yeah. But for me, I mean, I've seen Nevermore so many times live. I couldn't even tell you how many times because they toured with Opeth actually quite a bit, you know, X number years ago. So I saw him a lot on those tours. I believe I saw them. 04:05:35.240 --> 04:06:02.600 Remember Mustaine had that Gigantour? I think I saw them on the Gigantour. I saw Sanctuary at Prague Power. I've seen him in concert quite a bit over the years going back to 2000, I don't know, 3 or 4, whenever. I saw them with Opeth the second time they toured with him. I think the first time Opeth toured with them, Nevermore was the headline. The second time they toured with them, Opeth was the headline. 04:06:04.740 --> 04:06:33.500 Yeah, I'll be the first to admit I was never a huge Nevermore fan. I didn't dislike them. I just never, I don't know. I guess I was holding the torch for Sanctuary because I really loved Sanctuary. The first two Sanctuary albums, I would say Into the Mirror Black would probably be in my top 10 metal albums of the 80s or 90s, the 20th century. Yeah. So I think it came out in 90. 04:06:34.720 --> 04:07:04.700 or 90, 90, 90, 91, somewhere around there. And yeah, but I guess I'm going to go back maybe and as people do delve into the Nevermore catalog a little more. And see, I was the opposite. I like Nevermore more than I did Sanctuary. Most people were like that. Yeah, and it wasn't because I don't like what Sanctuary did. I just, I've spent more time listening to Nevermore. So I did that today. I, my 04:07:04.740 --> 04:07:06.460 My favorite album from them is this godless endeavor 04:07:07.540 --> 04:07:08.460 which is their 04:07:09.060 --> 04:07:10.900 came out in 2005 as their second to last 04:07:11.399 --> 04:07:12.600 studio album they recorded 04:07:13.280 --> 04:07:14.120 and I just thought that they 04:07:15.100 --> 04:07:16.640 put it all together in that one. I like 04:07:17.120 --> 04:07:17.920 almost all their stuff. 04:07:19.119 --> 04:07:20.680 Enemies of Reality is just okay. 04:07:20.960 --> 04:07:22.940 That's not a top 04:07:23.060 --> 04:07:24.780 one for me but you know Dead Heart and a Dead World 04:07:24.800 --> 04:07:26.860 is awesome. Dreamy 04:07:26.940 --> 04:07:27.880 Neon Black is awesome. 04:07:28.960 --> 04:07:30.760 All their stuff is for the most part 04:07:30.920 --> 04:07:31.620 good in my opinion. 04:07:33.140 --> 04:07:34.700 Jay wanted to be here as well 04:07:34.700 --> 04:08:03.100 But we just couldn't, you know, on short notice, make everybody's schedules work. And he was he was telling me, you know, you need to listen to this godless endeavor. So that is next up on my list after I finished listening to Sanctuary. Yeah, I would agree with him on that one. I mean, I know a lot of people go to Dead Heart in a Dead World, which is an awesome album. I absolutely love it. I think it's probably my the second one I like the most. 04:08:03.660 --> 04:08:33.320 Maybe Dreamy Neon Black kind of slips in there sometimes. But This Godless Endeavor to me is just from start to finish badass all the way through. Especially the final track. You know, when you put in all this time and it's pretty fast-paced stuff, pretty heavy. And you get to This Godless Endeavor at the end and it just kind of is the icing on the cake for me on the album. Yeah. Yeah, it just sucks. I mean, I have two very good friends. Well, not, I don't know. 04:08:33.680 --> 04:09:03.080 I haven't seen them in a while. So I have good friends that I know from my Opeth touring a little bit that are very good friends or were very good friends with Worrell. And they were both having a tough time, it seemed like, from their posts on Facebook. Yeah, you know, you hear these things and you wonder, oh my gosh, you know, what did him in? You know, he's obviously it's a known thing that Worrell had issues with alcohol. 04:09:03.160 --> 04:09:32.780 and that that was pretty much ultimately the reason behind Nevermore Falling Apart. And who knows, it may have contributed, but apparently sometime after Midnight, he had a heart attack. He was working on his second solo album, and apparently the solo band's guitar player was with him at the time and tried to do, I think he said chest compressions or something. 04:09:32.860 --> 04:10:02.780 Yeah, try to resuscitate him. Yeah. But by the time medical assistance had arrived, he was already dead. So, you know, it's I it wouldn't surprise me to find that just a hard lifestyle kind of led to this. Yeah. You know, and at this point, I know people want to know. But at this point, it's almost it's not irrelevant. It's important to the people who are close. 04:10:03.520 --> 04:10:32.240 But for those of us, you know, for more than arm's length, we find out and fine. But it doesn't change anything. So no, unfortunately, it doesn't. You know, today overall was just a shitty day anyway in music. Yeah. Just, you know, real quick, not not really metal, but Pat and I hope I say his last name right. Is it Denizio? Sounds about right. From the Smithereens, lead singer from the Smithereens. Guitars passed away, too. And I don't know if it's today or the other day or something like that. I thought it was today. 04:11:01.000 --> 04:11:02.400 Yeah. 04:11:02.420 --> 04:11:30.820 Not that Priest needs it, but enough is enough already with this shit. Yeah. The Moody Blues. Well, okay, Moody Blues get in. To be honest, I'm fine with that. Why is it taking so long for that to happen? Yeah, exactly. So, and I don't think Bon Jovi shouldn't be in. I just think that at what point do they finally say, oh, okay, there are more metal bands besides Metallica. So, anyway. Yeah. 04:11:32.420 --> 04:12:01.280 All right. We just wanted to sort of, you know, acknowledge the passing and send our condolences to friends and family and just note that it's kind of a shitty ending to what in many ways has been a shitty year, despite all the good music. Yeah, exactly. And just real quick, if you don't know either of these bands that World Ain't Sangin, definitely give them a spin. You might find something you like. 04:12:01.740 --> 04:12:17.800 and maybe can enjoy it going forward. Yep. Honor his memory by listening to his music. Yes. All right. Well, hopefully for really reels, this is the Metalheads Podcast signing off for 2017. See ya. See ya. 04:12:31.720 --> 04:12:46.380 I'm out of the fear, what I'm in mood. I shatter the world that tricked me to fight to win.
