Metalhead Podcast, Metalhead Podcast, Go!

00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:27.980
You must listen.

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:32.560
You must listen.

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.500
Now, here is the podcast, Metal Heads Podcast Go.

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.320
Hello and welcome to the Metal Heads Podcast. My name is George.

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:44.320
This is Jay.

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:45.220
This is Will.

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.180
This is John.

00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:47.040
This is Matt.

00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:49.980
And we are joined today by three-fifths of Blurring.

00:00:50.330 --> 00:00:53.000
Would you guys please introduce yourselves and tell us what you do in the band?

00:00:53.560 --> 00:01:22.960
My name is Danny and I play the four string weapon. I'm Scott. I play guitar. Hey, I'm Gary. I play drums. It does look awesome because when you lean in, you're right in Danny's lap right above his phallic beer bottle right in his crotch. No more lap leaning. So we're starting off right today.

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:24.260
Yeah.

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:27.340
Also, your connection is perfect for a band called Blurring.

00:01:27.460 --> 00:01:29.620
You guys have the right connection on that video.

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.820
It's almost like we're missing something on the site, because every time he comes in, he's just laughing.

00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:40.700
You see?

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:41.840
All right.

00:01:42.860 --> 00:01:46.300
Yeah, we asked Blurring to come on, and you guys are...

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:49.600
I'll let you kind of talk a little bit about the band first.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:02:20.440
But we wanted to have you guys on because Danny Liliker, if he didn't say his last name, and I, we met up a couple weeks ago at my brewery, and he was telling me about Blurring, and so I was like, well, we need to get you guys on. So here we are, and next week, it's fortuitous timing because next week you're playing a show at the Maryland Death Fest on Saturday. At Soundstage. Yeah. Yeah. We really appreciate this whole, because

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:22.120
It's very good timing as you pointed out

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:22.540
Yeah

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.080
So hopefully this should be posted way before

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:27.280
You guys hit the stage next week

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:29.520
But why don't you tell us a little bit about

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:30.560
The band

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.320
We know who you guys are now

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:32.980
What you do

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:33.900
But tell us about the band

00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:34.460
How you guys

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:35.840
Formed

00:02:35.880 --> 00:02:36.600
When you formed

00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:39.940
Tell us the musical style

00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:40.940
Give us the Wikipedia

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.000
I think as Jay said a couple episodes ago

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:44.640
Give us the Wikipedia blurring real quick

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:45.520
Sure

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:46.060
I think

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:49.360
We originally formed in

00:02:49.380 --> 00:03:19.240
In the summer of 2013 with me. No, I joined the band that year. You joined the band that year? Yeah, I think so. Was it? I don't know. Originally, it was me, Eric, and Matt started jamming together. Matt started with the guitarist. The other guitarist with our old singer, Pat Murphy. Well, yeah, we started doing kind of calabas again. Yeah, we were all in calabas before, so we started just jamming together again, and we played out as a four-piece.

00:03:19.660 --> 00:03:49.340
We were together as a four piece for about a year, I think, or something like that. And then we were playing without a bass player. And then we did a show locally and Dan came and saw us play. And after the show, we said, you guys are really good, but you need a bass player. So that was pretty much it. Well, the funny thing is that, not to toot my own horn here, but there was nobody else in this town

00:03:49.420 --> 00:04:19.260
who could figure out how to play their riffs. Some have tried. We did it. If you do toot your own horn, Dan, we're going to ask you to turn the camera off for a little while. But, hey, one of you guys is a bass player, right? That's me. No, no, no. No, one of you guys, it's either Scott or Matt, were playing bass in another band, weren't they?

00:04:20.080 --> 00:04:48.580
Matt was playing bass in Calabas, our old band. Right. He was originally the guitar player in Calabas, but then when I joined, he switched to bass. Didn't he play in Salazar too? Yeah, that too. But then once me, Eric and Matt got together, we just had guitars and no bass. So then we needed a bass player in Dan Sauce, and he could learn all the riffs.

00:04:48.660 --> 00:05:18.080
at lightning fast speed and everything worked out great. Did you guys do something like rock, paper, scissors, who's going to play what instrument? Because, Eric, didn't you play guitar for a while, too? He still does. Yeah, I still do, just not in this band. I can't play this fast. You can drum that fast, though? No. Well, I could when I was doing Brutal Truth with Danny, but not anymore. Blurring is... Next level shit.

00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:48.600
is too fast. My hand would fall off. We are not called Blurring for no reason. Right. Yeah, so tell us, why did you pick the name? That's a good question. Why did we? I think that was the mayor. I think the mayor came up with that. Yeah, our old singer came up with that name. We had a couple going around, and that seemed to best fit for what we were doing. Yeah, so you guys are basically a grindcore band. Is there any other subgenres you'd like to attack?

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:50.680
to it? Like, are you a

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:52.700
blackened grind?

00:05:52.950 --> 00:05:54.680
Are you a melodic grind?

00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:56.560
Give a feel for

00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.540
a metal grind.

00:05:58.820 --> 00:06:00.640
But give the listeners a kind of a

00:06:00.810 --> 00:06:02.880
better feel for the style

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:04.780
of music, aside from blurring-ass

00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:05.580
fast speed.

00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:08.560
I don't know. It's got a little...

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:11.020
It's a darker kind of grind, you know?

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.900
Well, calling it

00:06:13.140 --> 00:06:14.160
grinds would be like

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:16.100
calling a Shake Shack

00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:17.500
burger a burger.

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:45.200
It's based in grinds, but it's a lot more than that within grinds, but it definitely has black metal in it, which kind of changes the whole thing up and makes it unique because it's dark and chaotic, but really hard to put in the words. It's something people really have to hear, which I know sounds like a cop-out, but it's hard to really express it with human language.

00:06:46.360 --> 00:07:15.180
Maybe we'll use it as an excuse to tell people, of course, that they can go to your Bandcamp page and direct it. Experience it firsthand. Pause the podcast for 30 seconds. Go look into a little bit of blurring and you'll know what's going on. Yeah. Yeah. That would help. You are going to be black and blue. Yeah. I guess when I was trying to think about how to describe blurring, I was thinking the first word that comes to my mind is like, dirty.

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:44.540
Like just dirty, fast, dissident, blackened, warp speed, hammer smashed face grindcore. That's not bad. I'd like to see that on a sticker. I think we're going to use that for a new bio. Thank you. Do you all work on writing the songs or is there like a main songwriter?

00:07:46.040 --> 00:08:15.940
Usually, me and Matt or myself will come up with the main riff or whatever. Sometimes Dan throws in a riff. Scotty balls. Usually, I'll pretty much get the arrangement down. We'll work it out when we get together and stuff. And then, yeah, that's pretty much it. Who writes the lyrics? Our singer, Mark, writes all the lyrics. What he's talking about is anybody's guess.

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.660
That was going to be my next question, but he's not here to answer it.

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.180
Oh, they're great. We love them.

00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:27.980
Yeah, we like what he's talking about, but we have no fucking clue what he's saying.

00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:44.400
Well, yeah, because I went on Dark Lyrics to see if there was any blurring lyrics on there. There's not. I saw a lyric video, and some of the stuff you have on the various places on Bandcamp, I was kind of getting a little bit of the feel of it.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:09:14.140
It's just basically death, destruction, decay. Basically, the world is not a very nice place. Go fuck yourself. Death and destruction, but don't forget the chaos? Yeah. I can't really get any meaning out of his lyrics, but they are very dark, poetic, brooding, ominous, but nothing specific. It's something you can latch on to. It just kind of scares you.

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:39.560
Yeah, so you're not necessarily political or anti or pro anything. It's just like the world is a piece of shit and I'm going to sing about it kind of thing. That's about as close as. Yeah, I think that's probably accurate. Yeah. He reads a lot of, see our singer reads a lot of books. I like the generalized books. Fucking books, that's the lineup. So, I don't know what the hell he's talking about.

00:09:44.980 --> 00:10:11.760
Yeah, the blurring self-title came out in 2015, and then last year in 2017, you had Cloud Burner. That was an EP, wasn't it? Cloud Burner is only like 15 minutes long, but... It feels like a full length because it's tiring to listen. But, well, yeah, but the point being, yeah, that's the stuff that we've released with the current lineup.

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:43.960
We're in the process of writing more stuff, but these songs have to be crafted. You know, they take a few months each to get down because it's not a casual thing. We're writing and rehearsing and learning a blurring song. Yeah. So we move at our own pace. We're not very good at self-promotion. Like, nobody knows our shits out because we don't really... We make the excuse that only the worthy are fucking deserved to hear it, but that's what we really mean is that... We're too lazy.

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:45.060
to do anything.

00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:47.800
That's what it really basically means.

00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:49.760
We get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:51.020
It's great playing local shows.

00:10:51.230 --> 00:11:00.460
And if we were one of those gung ho bands who was going to be on Facebook every day and blah, blah, blah, we'd probably sell more records and have more people who dig us.

00:11:01.900 --> 00:11:03.240
But we're not that ambitious.

00:11:05.060 --> 00:11:06.360
We're all kind of old, too.

00:11:06.590 --> 00:11:10.680
So at that point, you know, at this point, we all got other shit to do.

00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:40.460
But, you know, it is what it is. That's the best reason to be doing music is because you enjoy doing it and fuck everything else, you know? Yeah. I'd like to tell you your visibility was about to change, but nobody listens to this show, so. We were made for each other. You're perfect. I had a question. I can't think of it. Oh, I was going to say, well, somebody's pretty ambitious because I think,

00:11:42.019 --> 00:12:10.560
I had a couple beers the other night. I'm like, I'm going to order a blurring t-shirt. And in like two days it came, I'm wearing it. Like it came today. I was like, who sent that out so quick? Actually, I had to go to the post office that day anyway. Luckily for you, it felt all the stars aligned. It was like, man. For me to get my ass to the post office if anybody orders anything. I ended up checking it, the email that day. And I was like,

00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:39.720
Oh shit. I gotta go to the post office anyway. So. And there's no dog pee on it. Wow. Bonus. That is good. You guys should put that. You guys should put that. Advertise that. There's no dog pee on any of these. Dog pee is extra. Order within 50 minutes. No dog pee. That's a limited edition version. Yeah. Yeah.

00:12:40.680 --> 00:13:10.660
Let's somebody know, like, hey, man, it's gonna be a couple days late, like, the dog pissed all over your shirt, so we gotta wash it and send it to you. Hope you don't mind. Yeah, it still stinks a little, sorry. Give you a dollar break. Yeah, take a dollar off. So, you guys, obviously, you're not trying to promote blurring too hardcore, but are you guys still all in other bands? Well, I'm still doing Nuclear Assault once in a while, and as you know, Will, I started my

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:38.760
a little bedroom black metal band, Twilight Sentinel. That now has a band cap. I saw that. There's already 45 Twilight Sentinels. I have to send you the link. But they're not all black metal. It's all like weird trancy shit. If you have a name like that, you have to be grim as fucking miscarriage. There's a lot of people who own that same car. That's what it is. That's the thing. Everybody saw that and said, fuck, man, that rules.

00:13:40.520 --> 00:14:03.680
That would be mostly what I'm doing because my actual live black metal band, Nocturnal Hellstorm, broke up last August. Only because our singer moved to Texas. And by then we'd already had some lineup issues. And there were six dudes in the bands. It was really hard to rehearse, which is exactly why I'm doing a bedroom black metal band because it's just me. I don't have to call anybody. I just have to hope I'm there.

00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:06.680
Where am I? God damn it.

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:08.320
I'm late again.

00:14:08.610 --> 00:14:09.300
I'm not here again.

00:14:13.520 --> 00:14:39.460
Eric also plays guitar in Sulaco. And what else do you do? There he is. Hold on. Dudes! He's back! A phone call from my boy. What's happening? What other bands do you have? Don't suck my dick. I'm not working with Danny Falls right now for your information. All right. I play guitar and sing in Sulaco.

00:14:42.240 --> 00:15:09.460
I play guitar with this goon behind me whose balls are near me, Anuk. And what else? Oh, I play guitar in a hardcore band called Moment of Truth that was around like forever ago. And I play, well, I haven't even begun to play bass any yet. I play bass, this band called Haggard that I've been playing drums for in for about

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:37.820
Four years. I'm sick of playing fucking drums, but I like playing drums. Still sick of playing drums, because hauling that shit around, dude, I'd rather wheel my cabinet around, dude. I'm a guitar player. What the fuck? If you're a drummer, you've got to have friends, man. Somebody with a truck. Yeah, really. I play with, now Eric plays bass in Haggard. I play with him in that. I can't wait to play bass.

00:15:39.500 --> 00:16:08.660
And look so bald. Look how bald it looks. Out of context, when they're just going to be hearing this interview and not seeing it. You know what? It looks so bald. Look how bald that looks. There's three other guys on this end who are really losing their hair. Hey, look. Look at John. John and Daniel just there. Look at all our hair. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, total farmers.

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:38.200
Speaking of Nuclear Assault, if I just may for a moment, I was just curious what the exact status of the band is. I mean, we saw you at Death Fest like two years ago, I think it was. And at that time, it sounded like you guys weren't going to do anything anymore. But now you're just doing some shows. We just kind of play it by ear. There's no official status to the band. What we say is that we're winding down. Ooh, drugs. And what we're trying to do is not play anywhere we've played before.

00:16:38.240 --> 00:17:08.199
So if we get an offer to play Bucharest, Romania, where have you ever been, we might fucking do it. But we're not going to play, let's say, New York again. It's part of the thing where also we don't have our original drummer, Glenn. We have Nick Barker on drums. And that's cool. You know, Glenn's arm got fucked up and he couldn't play anymore. So we got Nick. And Nick's busy with brujaria and other stuff. But we will occasionally do

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:38.100
something, but we try to keep it more like an occasion. Well, you know, occasionally, but make it something special. And that way we can still once in a while do something. So it's basically kind of in kind of limbo and it depends on the offer we get. Fair enough. You know, I don't, I don't think nuclear assaults.

00:17:38.240 --> 00:18:07.040
Played Atlas Brew Works. Yeah. Well, you know, now that we have a V-Pen, we can come back to Atlas and nobody would notice. That's right. It's legal in D.C. Oh, that's right. It's legal in D.C. Nobody would give a shit either, right? Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, we're going to... That's where we're going. We're actually... Get the car, man. Nice. Do a dual show nuclear assault blurring. Double duty.

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:37.440
Are most of the nuclear assault guys up there by you guys, or are they kind of spread out? Well, John, the frontman dude, the guitar player, singer, he lives in New York City, and we've got Barker on drums. Half the time he's in L.A., half the time he's back home in Sheffield, England, the home of Def Leppard. Do you remind him of that every time you talk to him? How are things in Sheffield, home of Def Leppard? Yeah, he's got a fucking... Nick Barker's got a hell of a resume, man.

00:18:38.240 --> 00:19:07.160
Yeah, it's great playing with him, because we both have fun that we've done, so... You just knew him from before Dan, or...? I first met Nick, like, over 20 years ago when Drittle Truth was on tour with Immolation and Cannibal Corpse, and he was in Buffalo, and he was just visiting a friend of his in Buffalo, and he was just glad to be over seeing a fucking killer death metal grindcore show in the States, and we met him. We got high as fuck and hit it off. Must have broke.

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:37.280
Do you guys have a competition to see who's going to be in the most bands? Hold on, I'm going to do some comparisons here on Wikipedia. I know Barker's been in a lot of things. I saw him. I met him at Death Fest. But Danny has too. Danny's been in a shit ton of stuff. I think I'm getting close to setting the record for amount of bands that have played Maryland Death Fest. Yeah, there you go. That's one to shoot for. Nuclear Assault, Brutal Truth, Venomous Concept, Crucifist, Autopty,

00:19:40.400 --> 00:20:07.620
I forgot about Venomous Concept. That's cool. Venomous Concept is just an occasional punk rock band. Yeah, no, they're cool. I like that. You're cool. I'm assuming SOD is completely dead, like forever. It's kaput. Kaput. It's kaput. That's why I'm doing my SOD franchise. I got Stormtroopers of beer in Europe. I got Deuce Crew in Australia.

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:38.200
And then I just did some shows in Brazil with the Fistbanging Maniacs, which is the singer of RDP and these other two dudes. And those dudes killed it. And of course, there was, that's right, we're on a podcast. There was lots of cocaine, which also made a good idea. There's no lack of that down in South America, for sure. It's actually sitting in the fucking thing that you put in your coffee. So are you guys working on a new album? You said you were working on some material, but are you, is it going to be a new album?

00:20:38.320 --> 00:21:07.860
or is it just stuff you're going to play live? Yeah, right now we just got one new one. We got another one that we're working on. We don't really have any plans. It takes us too long to get organized to plan anything out long term. So when we get five songs, we'll probably go in the studio and record some stuff. But yeah, that's how once we get enough songs, we go record.

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:36.780
That's pretty much how we work. We don't plan anything too far ahead. And what's cool is that we have a friend here not far from us who's got a killer little recording studio. So we can basically, well, there's a couple of killer studios around this whole western New York area. But the point being that once we have stuff down, we can go recording pretty cheaply. Pretty much like if you heard the Cloud Burner EP,

00:21:37.840 --> 00:22:07.560
That pretty much right down the road, right? Yeah. Yeah. We do have Cloudburner coming out on 12-inch soon, vinyl. Well, it's going to be pressed in Italy, but we're going to get a bunch of copies, and then we'll be able to sell them in the States, too. So that'll be nice, too. Unfortunately, we will not have them in time for the show next week. No. But we just pretty much got that whole deal together about a month ago. So on that aspect, it's going pretty quick.

00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:36.860
Are you going to have other merch next week? Will we? Yeah, we'll have some CDs of the Cloud Burner stuff. I think we only got one full length left and we got some new shirts and some stickers and, you know, shit like that. What the fuck is going on there? I think you're about to ask some questions. Yeah, yeah. So, these are my children. Oh, nice. I'm sorry about my foul language. That's all right. Their father spent 26 years in the Marine Corps. They've heard it.

00:22:38.480 --> 00:23:05.440
Hi. Do you guys have any questions that you want to ask? So this is Evelyn and this is William. And they want to ask you guys some questions. So William, why don't you go first? So speaking to the microphone. No. Okay. Shut it down. It's okay. What do you want to do?

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:36.420
Favorite what? Color? Favorite color? Black. Yeah, black. No way, green. I like green. Evelyn, do you remember what? And I do like purple, too. Oh, now William's ready to go. Evelyn, do you remember the questions that you asked last time you guys asked questions? You had three really good questions. What's your favorite band? Black Sabbath.

00:23:37.840 --> 00:24:07.100
Wait, say that again, Dan. Black Sabbath. William, who sings in Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne. Parenting done right. Who else sings? Dio. William, what bands have Dio sang in? Rainbow.

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:36.860
Rainbow. Rainbow. Yeah. Who else? Elf. Even those elf. This kid's killing it, man. Are we having him on Skullcrushers tonight? Elf. Rainbow. Black Sabbath. You got them all. Good job. Rainbow. Rainbow. Pigs.

00:24:37.840 --> 00:25:07.380
Warpigs, that's very topical. I'm still going. Did you say Warpigs? Warpigs? Yes, it's on. They hear everything you say. No, they just, they like, we play a lot of Black Sabbath and Dio in the house. We got vinyl. We just got mob rules. Can I go to Ozzy Osbourne? Oh yeah, he's right back there. Go get him.

00:25:07.820 --> 00:25:10.020
We got the Ozzy Osbourne action figure today.

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:10.720
Real British.

00:25:11.370 --> 00:25:13.940
Can you make that thing go, Team Mysterios Thomas Athanas?

00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:18.300
I would be good if you could say that.

00:25:20.530 --> 00:25:21.140
Do you have any other questions?

00:25:21.560 --> 00:25:22.060
Yeah, go ahead.

00:25:25.540 --> 00:25:27.860
The Ozzy action figure came to our house today.

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:28.720
Nice.

00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:30.020
Wow.

00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:31.100
Doesn't look like him.

00:25:31.100 --> 00:25:33.020
He looks better than he does in person.

00:25:34.480 --> 00:26:03.960
He looks more like he should be a man-o-war. I know, because you see it in live, he's like a wind-up. I didn't know he was that ripped. I knew he was ripped out of his mind. I didn't know he had fucking guns out of the corner of his mouth. He has three nut-pieces on. Cool. Evelyn, do you have any more questions?

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:34.060
No. Okay. Perfect. All right. Thank you guys for being very patient. Nicely done, guys. Good question, guys. Good job. High fives and stage dives. No worries. All right. Can I speak Latin? Obviously, Thomas. There you go. You know, I always forget, Will, that your son's name is William, and that makes me feel a lot better about when, because you frequently tell me you're going to send me pics of little Will. Because the other one would be big Will.

00:26:34.480 --> 00:27:04.380
I'm relieved suddenly to remember that that's his name. Richard would send little dick pics? Yeah. All right, guys. Just taking your phones off. Yeah, the earmuffs aren't going to work this time, Will. All right. So, Dan, you guys, like you said, you're kind of going for the record of Death Fest appearances here. How do you like playing that fest?

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:34.440
Is that pretty cool? We've been, I mean, we have all been, but I mean, what's the experience of playing it as far as like organization and all that goes? Oh, it's always pretty well done. I mean, sometimes there's a little chaos, but that's never really the fault of the promoters. It's more like bands will run late, so the whole schedule will get kind of messed up. But I mean, sometimes when they have the old sonar and they tried to put 10 bands in one backstage just on a timing schedule, that would work until Watain was like, we need the room for

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.780
three hours before we play.

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:37.560
Before the makeup.

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:41.860
And also, we just saw you.

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:44.320
I'm sure you'll remember, though all of us barely remember it.

00:27:44.600 --> 00:27:48.320
We just saw you at Decibel, just ran into you at Decibel, and we all had a nice time together.

00:27:49.540 --> 00:27:52.440
We need to get you one of your projects.

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:54.020
We sort of did more than run into them.

00:27:54.100 --> 00:27:57.300
We kind of hung out and drank some beer in the hotel lobby.

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.400
Yeah, we had a good time.

00:27:58.490 --> 00:27:59.440
We had a great time with Dan.

00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.780
So we're actually, Will, are you coming next week?

00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:32.400
because at least Chris is coming. We're planning to have another share. Yeah, so I'll be there Thursday. I'm going to try and make Saturday, but my wife has some family coming to town. I say every time we bring up MDF, I just wish they didn't make it on one of the biggest holiday weekends. What? I know. I know. Bad excuse. Yeah, so I'm going to see.

00:28:32.420 --> 00:29:02.280
I'm going to talk to Chris and I'll have to talk to the family to see if I can make it up there on Saturday. Are you going Friday? No. No? I thought... Whatever. I'm going Saturday. Listen, I'm going Thursday. I'm taking off work. I'm going Thursday. I would like to go Friday. However, I have to work. And then Saturday... Although Friday night would be awesome because I'd love to see Bloodbath. And then Saturday,

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:31.740
I would obviously love to see you guys blurring on stage. But I'm going to see. It's a tough weekend. I mean, I'm sure you're going to end up meeting Aunt Judy or something. Yeah, I'm going to try. Do you guys know your order yet? You're going on early in the day, later in the day. We're on at 510, or for you Europeans,

00:29:32.860 --> 00:29:33.300
1710.

00:29:34.040 --> 00:29:34.620
Nicely done.

00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:36.120
And we'll play

00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:37.900
Grindcore for 35 minutes

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:39.600
and then continue

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.580
to smoke weed.

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.740
And then keep smoking weed.

00:29:46.780 --> 00:29:47.520
Yeah, we're going to see

00:29:47.780 --> 00:29:48.340
Daddy's Gay.

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:49.580
I mean, Dot M's Guard.

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:51.720
Hey, here's a question

00:29:51.750 --> 00:29:52.260
for you guys.

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:54.280
George, did you take that

00:29:54.540 --> 00:29:54.840
personally, George?

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.400
What?

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:58.820
His take on Dot M's Guard.

00:30:00.280 --> 00:30:00.800
Daddy's Gay.

00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:30.060
It went right through. It went over my head. It was tasteless. What was the question? Creative. You guys have all played in other bands, big festivals, and now you're playing, I guess in Blurring, you're playing a lot of smaller clubs, but then you're playing MDF. What's your impression of playing? What do you like better? What are the pros and cons of playing huge?

00:30:31.860 --> 00:31:01.780
you're in front of like a hundred people. Like, do you, what do you think are the pros and cons? Like, what do you like better? Is there one you like better? Usually we play in front of about seven or ten people. This is usually the real expectation when we get, when we actually do a show. But, so, I mean, going out of town is nice because people think, we mean something. Yeah, we're like, yeah, something. And you get, you bring,

00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:31.320
We gotta go fucking see Dan. So it's a lot easier to play out of town. Cause uh, yeah, when we play in town, it's usually like the five or ten people at most. And it's all your wives and girlfriends. Yeah. No, they don't show up. You fucking kidding me. Basically though, this will probably be the biggest show we've ever done. Yeah.

00:31:31.840 --> 00:32:01.820
The Berserker was pretty good. The Berserker Fest in Detroit. Oh yeah, that was cool too. But I think this will be bigger. Oh, this will probably be bigger. We did do full terror assault a couple years ago. That was like one third full terror. Yeah. One third terror assault. If we play in front of like six or seven hundred people here, that'll be by far the biggest show. That's basically

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:31.820
I'm not sure what the capacity of soundstage is, but... What is it? You guys know, what is it? I think it's just a little over a thousand at the most. Okay, well, hey, if we play in front of half that many people, then that'll probably be our biggest show. Yeah. That'll be fun. Yeah. We're looking forward to it. It's a nice-sized room for you guys, I think, then, definitely. Yeah, that's definitely... No, we're totally psyched. In all seriousness, we're totally psyched that we managed

00:32:31.860 --> 00:32:58.500
to make this happen. And the only reason we're playing is because Eric here found that Dodam's guard was playing, so he said we have to find some excuse to get down there for free. And Satyricon. Oh yeah, Satyricon too, but are they playing late Saturday? They're headlining Saturday. Okay, yeah. Well, hey, we're off stage at like 6 o'clock, so. Yeah. Then I can just keep drinking. Yep. Part continues.

00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:27.680
You know, you said a minute ago, when you play out of town, you know, people take you a little more seriously. It reminds me, I used to know this guy who was in a band that I was in for a while, and he wasn't a religious guy, but he used to always say, because when we played places farther from home, we'd have more people, and he used to always say, that's why Jesus never performed any miracles at home, man. In the Bible, apparently, Jesus never performed miracles, because everybody would have been like, that's just fucking nerd from down the street.

00:33:31.780 --> 00:33:56.320
How come you didn't tell me you could turn water into wine? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, well, you're in all these other towns. You just told me you were a carpenter. Okay, I got something else for you, motherfucker. Sure, you go all the way to Bethlehem and give them the wine and fuck us here in Nazareth. Live back here in Nazareth. Yeah. I'll show you some carpentry.

00:33:59.780 --> 00:34:29.580
So what's the music scene like? Are you guys all in the Rochester general area? Yes. So what is the metal scene like up there? Is there any good bands that you really like from the local area up there? Incalagon. Yeah, Incalagon's really good. Incalagon is... Black Melodic Death. Yes. Black Melodic Death. Very awesome. It features a couple of dudes who used to play in my old band, Nocturnal Hellstorm. The drummer, Joe,

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:59.720
I miss playing with him, but I'm too lazy to form another band, so it's great that he's playing with those guys. And they're actually playing tonight. Yeah, they are. Yeah, there's a... What's that called? Pelorian? There's a band called Pelorian? Oh, the Aglock dude? Huh? The guy, the dude from Aglock? His new band? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that dude is playing, and then they're playing with a band from Maine, who I don't remember their name.

00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:22.780
But we're here doing this for you guys and I'm not gonna go to that show because it doesn't sound like well besides the oncolagon the other bands don't sound like they'd be I don't like wishy-washy black metal it sounds like that bag might be wishy-washy if they had guys from Agaloc in it. What do you think about black metal like Demi Borger?

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:58.940
More of a dark throne kind of guy? Yeah, I like the primitive myself. I appreciate the talent, but I'm not here to dance in a ballroom. What about breweries up there in Rochester? I checked it out. There's quite a few up there. Do you guys got a couple favorite ones? Three Heads. Three Heads is really good. Naked Dove. Young Lions. Swift Water. Swift Water is pretty good. All right, let's narrow it down.

00:35:58.980 --> 00:36:27.860
Is there any brewers that you don't like up there? All the breweries we love. It doesn't matter. There's a whole lot of breweries up here. And they're all really good. And we support the local when we can. I'm drinking a data sphere right now for obvious reasons. Yeah, yeah. I've seen that one before. It's, uh... Yeah. Is that the one you're holding for me? Will?

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:57.000
I have one that I'm saving for you, Kim Jong George. I work at a record store here called The Record Archive. That's the only store in New York State that has a beer and wine bar. And we feature a lot of local breweries with your IPAs and Stouts and Sowers and fucking whatever the fuck. Yeah. I'm personally an IPA guy, as Will would know. Yep.

00:36:59.460 --> 00:37:27.900
Some of those stouts, I don't know. It's like my wife loves them. For me, it's like they're a little too heavy and brutal. But then again, 10 years ago, maybe I thought an IPA was the same thing. So who's to fucking say? I'm glad you said they're a little too heavy and brutal for you. You're talking about beer, not music, because otherwise I'd be really confused. Yeah, I know. I mean, hey, I played an autopsy at one point. I've got a reputation to uphold.

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:34.740
You know we had a good uh what was the name of your beer at the decibel down

00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:43.540
personal when you were yeah that was yeah that was a dry theory that is one of those new england

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:51.400
hazy ipas double ipas i should say and at the risk of sounding like a dick i'm not going to put my name

00:37:51.640 --> 00:37:57.119
on or my image on a beer that's not going to be completely fucking over the top and killer so it's

00:37:58.100 --> 00:38:27.700
8 or 9%, I don't know, fucking super hazy double IPA, and it's delish, dude. Oh, yes, I dug it, and you did a nice thing of you were signing those images that you had brought along for those of us who tried it. I've got mine in a place of honor here. A place of boner? That's totally normal, dude. Yeah, it's cool.

00:38:28.080 --> 00:38:57.420
We're all friends here. Like I said, nobody listens to this show, so we're fine. What are we up to? Can we get some 500 now? We do pretty good. Jay's always trying to drag us down. I like to be self-effacing. It's like the rich guys, the guys with the millions. They're like, I got a couple bucks. You know what I mean? Justin Bieber or something. Yeah, we interviewed him last week. He was really nice.

00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:27.740
Very metal. So what are you guys listening to that you like right now? What are the bands that you're kind of into these days? And it could even be just this week. And maybe from this year. Is there stuff you listen to this year that came out? We're getting ready to do our mid-year episode where we count down our favorite records of the year so far. Oh, you mean something recent? Doesn't have to be. I like to know what people are listening to. So I don't really care where it's from. Oh, fuck. Well, I stumped you on that one.

00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:57.700
The Last Record I Listened to was Seven Chalices of Vomit and Blood by Titanblood, which came out in 2009. They're a black death band from Spain, and that's all that mattered to me at that time. They're fine. And scares me from Titanblood. Titanblood. I don't know them. Do you know them, Jordan? Yeah. Before that, I broke out this Queensryche EP. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah. I found that on vinyl that long ago.

00:39:58.100 --> 00:40:27.400
It's actually a good EP. I haven't listened to anything modern, and if I do, it's by accident. Maybe you guys can answer this question. What's the last shit that came out that you liked? That I liked? I don't know. I heard that new At The Gates. But I don't know if I really like it. Oh, I heard a new Immortal song. I thought the new Immortal song was good. Did you like it? That was pretty good.

00:40:30.180 --> 00:40:30.840
There you go.

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:37.560
You know, I thought I had, because I wondered if the wheels were going to kind of fall off that wagon, but I don't think so.

00:40:37.720 --> 00:40:40.420
I mean, with, you know, Bop being gone now.

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:42.780
I thought it rang true.

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:49.380
I was also skeptical, but I think with Demon Ass and Horg, I think it sounded pretty good.

00:40:50.120 --> 00:40:51.960
And it's a little less Popeye-ish, too.

00:40:57.060 --> 00:41:26.480
There's Cookie Monster vocals and now there's Popeye vocals. I didn't really think about that. That would be a great split seven inch to Cookie Monster vs. Popeye. Dad of Northern Darkness, you've been very quiet. Great. I just have one question. Will you guys please come and play Minneapolis? If you give us enough money, we need it. I will start some fundraising. Yeah, right on.

00:41:27.200 --> 00:41:53.800
Oh, is Hammer Hearts out there? I didn't know that. If we can get gas money, some pot, and tacos, yeah. All right, Matt, you got a list. I'm going to do a little fundraising, and I'll get a package in the mail. We need some beers, gas. Well, we need gas first. Gas, pot, tacos, and we'll have the tacos. If you eat the tacos, you have gas.

00:41:57.540 --> 00:42:23.760
If we were able to do something like a long weekend to do Cleveland, Chicago, and then Minneapolis, something where we could actually make sense that we could afford to get out there, and somebody was to book us and give us enough money, and we're not talking ridiculous, we're just talking enough to cover our expenses, give us a craft space, and we could get home, that's certainly not out of the question. To say this, we're not touring bands, we don't own a vehicle.

00:42:25.740 --> 00:42:55.100
That's a pretty important part of the tour. Does Hammerheart put on shows? No, they don't. I mean, they've had a couple one-offs, and by that I mean like one or two, more of like a warm-up. But they do, I think they spend records on certain nights of the week. Canopticon should be the house band. Yeah. I'll tell you what. If some dude's dumb enough to fucking fly us out there and fly us home, we'll totally do it.

00:42:55.740 --> 00:43:23.700
What if I just drove out and picked you all up in my truck? Yeah, but you have to have room for the weed, too. We're open to any kind of sensible... We'll pretty much play anywhere as long as we don't lose a bunch of money. That's all that says. We are very friendly. They do that again and go, great success.

00:43:25.740 --> 00:43:27.060
Number one.

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:29.380
Dano.

00:43:29.980 --> 00:43:30.460
Dano.

00:43:32.740 --> 00:43:33.680
That's a private joke.

00:43:34.200 --> 00:43:34.800
Don't even bother.

00:43:37.120 --> 00:43:37.760
Great success.

00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:40.180
Yeah, you know.

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:42.420
That's not Borat.

00:43:42.540 --> 00:43:43.280
That's Dano's crazy.

00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:44.260
Yeah, I was going to say, is that Borat?

00:43:45.100 --> 00:43:45.620
Oh, weed.

00:43:48.220 --> 00:43:49.760
What else do you guys want to know?

00:43:51.140 --> 00:43:52.080
That's a reasonable question.

00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.260
No, I had a whole bunch of list of things here.

00:43:56.160 --> 00:44:24.300
All right, I've got a hard question. What are you guys going to do after we're done with this? You up in the upper right. That's you, George. I'm in the upper right? Yeah, maybe. What are you going to do when you're done talking to us? Are your pants on? No. Why do you ask? Well, because I had a feeling I can't see underneath. Son of a bitch, I knew your dick was out.

00:44:26.420 --> 00:44:27.300
You asked.

00:44:32.540 --> 00:44:43.100
We hope anybody who's listening to this comes out to see us next week at the Sound Station. I wasn't closing the show. I just forgot because I got high, so I got to promote it.

00:44:43.710 --> 00:44:44.020
I don't know.

00:44:44.210 --> 00:44:50.940
Yeah, so it should be up Monday night, so there'll be a good three, four days, five days.

00:44:51.830 --> 00:44:52.180
Four days.

00:44:52.510 --> 00:44:52.820
Five days.

00:44:53.010 --> 00:44:53.120
Yeah.

00:44:53.880 --> 00:45:23.820
When are you guys coming into town? When you come into Baltimore? You play Saturday. Me and Eric are going to come in Friday early because we want to see Cognizant. I'm going to roll up around 8.30 with my lovely wife and some friends. We'll look for you. The rest of the guys I think are coming in Friday. We're playing Saturday at 5.00.

00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:53.420
5 or 510 or something like that. Yeah. And then are you sticking around for the rest of the Death Fest on Sunday? What the hell was that? My dog just bit Scott. Medic. My dog's a dick. Oh, battery. Battery. I think I might stick around to see Suffering Hour on Sunday.

00:45:53.880 --> 00:46:23.700
and then take off after that. I'm not sure though. I might actually take off Sunday just because of plans back home. I'm not sure. I'm getting down there Friday. Definitely want to see I Hate God for going on 1145 Friday night. And probably Sinister. Maybe Blood Incantation. Depends what time I get there. Saturday the day we're playing. I'm going to be participating in a beer share with Will's friend Chris in the afternoon before we play.

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:53.680
DC Metal Chris? Yeah. DC Metal Chris. They're going to be hanging out, exchanging some good shit, and then they'll put me in a wheelchair and bring me on stage. Everything will be fine. You need to relax. You need to relax. You're a dog. He still tries to go around people he doesn't know. We have a dog here that's kind of a dick. Don't be a dick, dog. Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

00:46:55.900 --> 00:47:23.500
Don't be a dick. Put him on. George is pretty good. I'm looking at that wall behind you. Is that wall purple? Yeah, it is. Actually, yeah. Deep purple. Yeah, my girl chose that color. Fucking perp deep. It's Eric's favorite. I do like purple, though.

00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:53.560
You did say that earlier. It's royal. When my daughter asked you. I know, really. So it almost seems like I chose it, doesn't it? Yeah. That's interesting because the color of Jay's looks a little violet. Yeah. Looks like lavender. Damn, hippies. I guess it's supposed to be a plum. A plumkin. It's a plumkin. And Jay ran away. Yeah.

00:47:54.619 --> 00:48:22.540
You made fun of his room color. He had to run. He'll hear it later. What the fuck? Danny, I know what you do for a day job when you're not playing. What do you do in real life? What do you want to be when you grow up? I'm a shyster. Scotty shyster. I'm Scotty shyster.

00:48:24.100 --> 00:48:53.800
Yeah, I shyster people out of money. What is Matt? I don't know what Matt does. He just got a new job. And I'm really not sure what Mark does. Now, Matt, I think, kills people. He's a serial killer. I think Matt might kill people. Mark works with, like, people that need help. Yeah, he wipes asses. I think he wipes asses. Yeah. And... I screen print. I print t-shirts.

00:48:53.900 --> 00:49:23.840
and hats and hoodies and garbage for whoever needs to wear a t-shirt. Yeah. I just, you know, I work at a record store. Yeah. I think white glasses is the worst. So, Eric, Eric, do you print all the shirts for the band then? We are going to be doing the new batch of shirts, yes. Yeah. And we've done all the previous batches. A bunch of the nuclear assault shirts in the past and

00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:53.820
When I was doing Brutal Truth, we were printing Brutal Truth shirts in the past. It's convenient. Yeah, we've done a little bit of everything. It was funny when I saw Dan when we met up at Atlas. And just by coincidence, my niece sent me a picture of me. It must have been 1990. I remember you showed me that. Yeah, and I'm holding my niece. So she is now a mother. She's 20-some years old.

00:49:53.860 --> 00:50:21.320
She sent me this picture of me holding her when she was a baby. I mean, she was like a newborn. And I had my ice hockey jacket on. Just being the ice hockey jacket, I had a black t-shirt on. And I was looking at it, and I sent to the rest of the guys in the podcast. I'm like, I think this is nuclear assault. I'm like, that's nuclear assault. I confirmed that. Yes, yes. Well, that's why I said I sent it to you guys. So it was just funny. That was like two days before I met up with Danny at Atlas.

00:50:25.100 --> 00:50:27.260
One of my first vinyls was game over.

00:50:27.660 --> 00:50:29.680
Ah, well, thank you for the support.

00:50:31.040 --> 00:50:33.040
I don't have to say I'm embarrassed and slightly drunk.

00:50:36.460 --> 00:50:38.600
You don't look a day over 50, man.

00:50:41.140 --> 00:50:42.020
Game over.

00:50:42.640 --> 00:50:42.780
Yeah.

00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.320
Did you say gay lover?

00:50:46.540 --> 00:50:47.200
No, no.

00:50:47.420 --> 00:50:48.060
Game over.

00:50:48.090 --> 00:50:48.660
Game over.

00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:52.740
Oh, my God.

00:50:52.860 --> 00:51:19.640
I think Will is propositioning you. Oh, I get it. Like a gay mover. Like a guy who comes to fucking move your house. I can now die of hurting him. Where do you want the sofa to go? Chalk that one up there with black gaze.

00:51:24.380 --> 00:51:52.580
It's a gay mover! Whenever John talks about black gays, you know, like shoegays, black gays, Will starts laughing. I giggle. Sometimes I giggle so hard I almost pass out. Black gays, not black gays. You almost pass out and pee yourself. Will's gonna die. He's gonna die.

00:51:55.920 --> 00:52:22.440
Are you muted? Yes. He's nodding his head. He can't stop laughing. You can actually see how red his face is right now. Oh, yeah, totally, dude. You look like a taco. Which we will play for. He's one third of the cost. We will be in your house. Yeah, Will, can you get tacos at Atlas for them?

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:52.440
Yeah. We have Fred the taco guy. He's there every show and gives the band tacos. We give them beer and all the money goes to the band. So come. House parties, man. As long as the cops don't come. Don't come. Cops come. Because we were usually hoping to... Cops come. Yeah. Well, if you're in D.C., that's okay. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, that's true. We're not used to your fucking liberated love. Yeah. I mean, were we?

00:52:52.500 --> 00:53:14.380
come from pot is still against the law but except it's not really because they're like oh really weed whatever just get out of here but um technically it is but it's 2018 right and these days with vape pens too it's real easy to smoke and does that work in there i wondered if that worked in there

00:53:17.340 --> 00:53:45.120
We can get friends. I know a dude who fucking makes the gunk. So even though we can't walk into a store by a loaded vape pen, we could get refills whenever we walk. It's just like, you know, you just can't go to a store. So I'm going to have a fully loaded cannon when I come down for MDF. But I'm going to be, I'm going to have to drive home soon.

00:53:45.300 --> 00:54:14.860
But you can talk to these dudes if you want. You're not going anywhere, Dan. Your disco ball is broken. It is. I can't even believe it. I'm trying to party. The disco ball is broken. What's all that banging? He's trying to fix the disco ball. Can I smash it? No, don't smash it. We need it for MDF. Oh, shit. That's right. Well, we have to get our disco ball fixed. Here it is. Dude, this is the disco ball.

00:54:15.300 --> 00:54:45.240
We were totally partying the whole time. Now it doesn't want to fucking work anymore. Our party is too hard. Our party is too hard. So Dan and Eric and... Sorry. I'm still like half hallucinating from laughing so hard. So we'll let you guys go.

00:54:45.300 --> 00:55:14.900
We'll wrap it up, but just tell us where you can find. Are you guys on Facebook? Are you on Instagram? Are you on YouTube? Are you on Bandcamp? Are you on iTunes? Yeah, we got the Bandcamp, blurring.bandcamp.com. We got a Facebook page. Which we never monitor. Yeah, sometimes I go on. Yeah, you can find us on pretty much just Bandcamp and Facebook. We don't have any of that iTunes stuff or any of that shit.

00:55:17.660 --> 00:55:45.040
We're playing Saturday down in Baltimore. We'll have some CDs, some shirts, some stickers. You can get some vegan advice from our singer on how to eat vegan. Jay's listening. Can you learn from one of his books? Yeah, he'll teach you how to wipe butts and eat vegan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hand in hand.

00:55:45.300 --> 00:56:14.380
Or hand and mouth. Mouth. Or foot and mouth. What disease is that? What disease? I'll fucking teach you how to eat a hot dog. I'm not going anywhere near the frame right now. I really do. I'm not going anywhere there. Go ahead, man. That's your spot. Oh, man. Sometimes I wish we had this video recorded.

00:56:15.300 --> 00:56:42.280
It would be epic. Dan, you got to stop holding the beer right in your crotch. Stuff like that. We appreciate you guys taking the time to interview us. Yeah, seriously, man. Thanks, Will. We appreciate the fact that. Because if it was up to us, we wouldn't do shit. We just like to go to the practice space. That's good.

00:56:45.280 --> 00:57:15.160
to be running into more and more. So it sounds like these guys will see you coming up and probably we'll all see you at the next Decibel Band. And yeah, man, that's just nice to talk to you. Oh, actually, yeah, Dan, that's a good question. Like, if you're not affiliated with a brewery this time, like next year, are you going to still come down to Philly? Okay, wait, Will, you have that venue at your fucking spot, don't you? I do. He has a venue at his brewery. Damn, well, I'll go.

00:57:15.980 --> 00:57:44.360
What are we doing here? Jerking each other off here? What do we got here? I thought the show was booked. What do we do? We did discuss this. It's just too close to MDF and everyone else is doing it. Wait a couple of months. Maybe in August or something? Yeah. Come down and play. I'll talk to you offline, Dan, about something else next year sometime near Decibel Fest.

00:57:45.280 --> 00:58:14.980
Top Secret. Top Secret. Pants off. You guys throwing me a surprise party. Top Secret. No pants. Oh, Top Secret. I thought you said Bob Seger. Oh, like against the wind? What? Joints and tubes. Night moves. That's right. Bob Seger, you know, he's got that song Night Moves. We were driving. Where were we going? Detroit? New Hampshire.

00:58:17.380 --> 00:58:41.340
We had to roll a couple of joints and put them in a test tube. Lyrics like, fucking working on the night moves. Rolling up some joints and putting them in tubes. That wasn't the worst Bob Seger I've ever heard. It had to be there. It wasn't really that funny then.

00:58:45.280 --> 00:59:15.200
I actually don't remember getting there either. This was a good time. Wow. Bye. Thanks for everything. Hopefully we'll see you down at MDF next week. Respect, guys. And I'll be saving for your Minneapolis showcase. Thank you, guys. Yeah, yeah. Get that shit happening. We're down. Awesome. Well, thank you, guys. Thanks to Blurring. Thanks to Scott and Dan and Eric for coming.

00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:16.320
Yes, thank you.

00:59:16.980 --> 00:59:18.040
Thanks, fellas.

00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:18.960
Take care, guys.

00:59:19.260 --> 00:59:19.740
All right, guys.

00:59:19.980 --> 00:59:20.120
Thanks.

00:59:20.120 --> 00:59:20.380
See you, fellas.

00:59:21.080 --> 00:59:21.420
Smoke beer.

00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:25.140
All right, that was our interview with Blurring.

00:59:25.560 --> 00:59:28.940
Thanks to Eric and Scott and Dan for coming on.

00:59:29.200 --> 00:59:30.540
An appropriately named band.

00:59:30.660 --> 00:59:31.260
Blurring.

00:59:32.260 --> 00:59:32.960
Like your vision.

00:59:34.279 --> 00:59:34.640
Yeah.

00:59:35.180 --> 00:59:37.640
Even their video feed was a little blurry.

00:59:37.940 --> 00:59:38.040
Yeah.

00:59:38.380 --> 00:59:39.300
No, but it was great.

00:59:39.660 --> 00:59:40.260
No, it was great.

00:59:40.530 --> 00:59:43.900
And thanks to Dan, by the way, because I feel like we lean on Dan every once in a while now.

00:59:44.140 --> 01:00:13.100
We're slowly becoming friends with Dan Wilmore than the rest of us. He's one of those guys that's kind of a legend in the metal world, really. It's hard for us not to bring that up. Can I just say everybody did a very good job of that? Even Eric, who's played in Napalm Death and Nuclear Assault, he's got his own play guitar. He's got Napalm Death behind his name in some of these places. Yeah, Brittle Truth. But anyway,

01:00:14.140 --> 01:00:42.060
That's cool. And so we appreciate that's doing us a solid, really. And we'll have Dan on with all of his projects. Not to play this one down in any way. Maybe we'll see him next week. Maybe he'll remember us. He'll remember. I'm just kidding. He's giving me shit for not being there. Yeah, we're going to give you shit, too. I was going to do my Marty Feldman for him to see if he would be like, oh, yeah, you're that guy. Oh, that guy. Go away.

01:00:44.720 --> 01:01:13.540
He took my picture doing that when we were there and he said, I'm going to make that my fucking desktop, man. You know, on his phone or whatever. And I'm sure I got, I believe he's at parties sometimes. I'm like, you've got to see this fucking guy. Wait, if you look on the Twilight Sentinel band camp page, you will see that he has something very similar. It's like him in corpse paint and almost looks Marty Feldman-ish. Yeah, it's a fucked up picture. And it's like, you can see the outline of a very bad cutout of him. Yeah. Yeah.

01:01:14.160 --> 01:01:43.500
World's Worst Photoshop. Yeah, yeah. It's a very true color. Yeah, that's pretty well. I feel like he purposely put a little humor in that. Yeah. Yes, I think that's a safe bet. All right, let's rock it. Time for the news. So this is one we just heard about yesterday, I think it was.

01:01:44.140 --> 01:02:12.720
And so, you know, we heard that K.K. Downing's whole, like, was that golf course thing or whatever, like, flopped. And so apparently he needs money now. So he's selling his portion of the rights to 130 Judas Priest songs, including some of their big hits. Yeah, well, so, okay, so here was one of the interesting things to me, at least this is what the person representing the sale said. So who knows how true this is.

01:02:13.240 --> 01:02:22.380
But that living after midnight and breaking the law alone were worth close to a million dollars annually to the holder of these rights.

01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:23.900
That's pretty good in this day and age.

01:02:25.579 --> 01:02:27.280
That's exactly what I was thinking, though.

01:02:27.350 --> 01:02:31.800
I think things are coming back around for the Spotify group and people are making money off that now.

01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:34.040
But that's good to hear, man.

01:02:34.160 --> 01:02:35.040
I'm glad to hear that for them.

01:02:35.310 --> 01:02:36.860
You know, that means the rest of those guys.

01:02:36.930 --> 01:02:39.680
And that's only one-fourth, by the way, or I don't know how much he wrote of it.

01:02:39.720 --> 01:03:09.680
Well, what's interesting to me is Spotify notoriously pays nothing. So I wonder, with big songs like that from huge bands, do they get like five bucks from Spotify and then the other $900,995 is coming from some other place? Well, ASCAP. ASCAP, that's how they get their money from the radio. So every time it's played on the radio, they get something. Every time. And think of how many bullshit, dumbass,

01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:39.640
rock radio stations probably whip, you know, living after midnight. I don't know if I said that right. Yeah. Dumbass bullshit. Yeah, you said that right. Well, no, but once, you know what I mean? Like, I hear that song on the radio. Could be commercials, too. Commercials, for sure. I remember there was a car commercial had the Hellion Electric Eye car commercial. That's right. It was like a minivan, too. It was really bizarre. They get dollars for that. Though, I do remember, again,

01:03:39.740 --> 01:04:09.660
And Brian Slagle, I brought this up before, and his book says that I'm streaming, like all of his, like the bands that he sends money to because of Metal Blade make just as much as they ever did through the Metal Blade streaming presence. Through what I don't know. I don't know if it's Spotify or whatever. But anyway, so, but also hard times for KK. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah. That must be hard to have to sell your songs. And Jay mentioned that we should all chip in and buy Saints of Hell for, Saints in Hell,

01:04:10.220 --> 01:04:39.700
for John. I'm going to start a GoFundMe page if anybody wants to pitch in on that. It's probably going to only cost like 20 bucks. What else you got? We'll splurge and get you something else too. Something nice. You can throw a whole Stain Class album probably in there if you want to. But here's the beauty of this though, John, is if we buy you a song and then when they make business decisions in the future, they're going to have to invite you to the meeting, dude, because you've got a 147

01:04:39.720 --> 01:05:09.220
or whatever, however many votes it is. So you'll be on the inside at that point. I don't know. I think I want to use it for the podcast. I think we're going to go with that. It's a new theme song. Sorry, Joel. Yeah. I'm going to rerecord this part. Did I tell you one time that I got somebody at work gave a huge compliment to the intro song? Oh, really? For the podcast. Just Joel's intro song? Yeah. Was his name Joel? Joel.

01:05:09.740 --> 01:05:39.640
The new one, not the old one. Yeah, the Joel. The Thrasenblatt. Yeah, the Thrasenblatt. Joel Violetta. Violetta. Violetta. He might be on later this year. If he finishes the album, we'll have to get him on again. Yeah, we'd love to have him. He did a year-end with us one time. Maybe if it comes out around that, we could pull him in. Yeah, like two years ago, I think. That was when he made the list of stuff you need to listen to. Yes.

01:05:44.380 --> 01:06:09.660
We almost need to make that a tradition that every year we have somebody on the year end. So Joel one year is like, oh, this is all. I'm making a list of all the stuff I need to listen to. And last year it was TR giving us a list of all his live and rock and roll albums and non-metal albums. So we need to have somebody on. I still want to get TR to do some sound bites for us. So I can just have buttons and just be like TR says this.

01:06:11.220 --> 01:06:38.560
I just have to think of what I want him to say. Dance for me, puppets. Dance. How about I like dicks? I already got somebody that does that. Come on, Will. We already got you saying that better than you could ever say it again. I like dicks. He sounds so convincing about it. He sounds so convincing because it's just natural. Like it just rolled right off your tongue. The dick?

01:06:39.720 --> 01:07:08.320
It probably just did. Moving on. Moving on. There's a new band coming out called We Are Sentinels featuring Matt Barlow and Jonah Weingarten of Pyramids. And they're going to be releasing their self-titled debut album on July 6th. I was like, oh. And in fact, I'm going to move up another item because Ashes of Aries is also supposedly working on a second album for release later this year. So looks like we got a lot of Matt Barlow coming this year.

01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:35.960
Did you like the Pyramids stuff, anybody? It's alright. It was okay. Yeah, it's alright. Yeah, it's not bad. I mean. We sat in the same row as a couple of the guys in the band at Prague Power a couple years ago. Yeah. They were sitting down at the end of the row watching. Did you? Well, it's nice that Matt's out there, you know, using his voice. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if he's done anything since he left Ice Earth that I went crazy for, but whatever. Okay, fine. Just kick him while he's down. Dick.

01:07:39.080 --> 01:08:08.400
All right. Anyway, isn't he also a police officer? Yes, he is. He is. He's got that going. He's a highway patrolman. So it's kind of funny after last episode when we were interviewing Ross, the boss, and Jay was like, yeah, there's really not much coming out of the Manowar camp. Well, no, apparently there is. Manowar is supposedly going to launch the next leg of their the final battle world tour in March of 2019. So no time soon. But it's not very many dates either, at least unless that was just

01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:37.560
the initial dates. Something's going on over there, man. Based on our talk with Ross, and I know he's kind of got some venom left over from all of that. Just a bit. I get a feeling they don't like each other very much, and I don't mean Ross. I mean the other guys. I honestly think this thing is kind of falling. The wheels are falling off the wagon, and they're probably having trouble doing this. People are like, fuck you, dude. I'm not free. Wait until then, and then I'll do four dates. Because if you go look at those dates, George, it's like less than ten dates, I think.

01:08:38.440 --> 01:09:08.339
That's hardly a farewell tour. Yeah. It's not much of a final battle. Yeah. It's like a skirmish. The final leg. The final skirmish. We got to the field, but everyone's pretty tired, so we're going to take a break. Just have lunch. Anyway. It just seems to me like they're whimpering to a close here. Yeah. Not whimpering, but I don't know what the word is. Yeah. I think the word is whimpering. I think so.

01:09:08.420 --> 01:09:38.060
Okay, well, there you go. You know what? Nailed it. Straight out of the box. Yep. Go with your gut. So Yob released a second track from their forthcoming album, Our Raw Heart, and that's also the name of the song. The album's due out June 8th. I know there's some Yob fans on here. A few. A few. I am, you know, and I rarely mention it. You guys mention it more than me, but I started liking them back when they had a record called The Illusion of Motion. God, that was a good fucking record. You know, it's funny. I reviewed that album.

01:09:39.040 --> 01:10:07.480
And my one line review was The Illusion of Not Sucking. I didn't like it. Are you a fan now? The last couple albums are growing on me. I'm only at a 50% approval rate for these first two songs, though. I'm a little in offense myself. The first song that they released, The Screen, it's a little different from them, but man, it is.

01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:37.820
Yeah, that wasn't bad. And then the new one, the title track. You know what is bad? Your taste in music, Kim Jong-Jordan. It's all opinions. It's all opinion, Will. But your opinion is wrong. But the new song, it's a little slower. I thought the first song was a little... The screen, the first song that they released, the screen, was a little heavier than normal.

01:10:38.060 --> 01:11:08.000
for Yob. And Yob was pretty heavy. And then the second song was sort of slightly on the lighter side, but... I like his voice, by the way. I like the way he sings. He's almost like a weird Geddy Lee in a stoner band somehow. I kind of find it interesting that they're getting this comment, not just from you guys, but I've heard this, and I'm thinking, okay, so we could have that, or the alternative would have been no band and no band.

01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:12.600
I think this album

01:11:13.939 --> 01:11:16.200
I honestly don't know that story

01:11:17.579 --> 01:11:19.180
yeah I mean the

01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:21.940
Mike got sick and almost died

01:11:23.619 --> 01:11:26.240
I believe diverticulitis

01:11:26.380 --> 01:11:27.160
if I'm not mistaken

01:11:28.739 --> 01:11:32.240
well if you had your new copy of

01:11:33.060 --> 01:11:35.140
Decibel you could read all about it

01:11:37.300 --> 01:11:38.020
nice

01:11:38.040 --> 01:11:38.940
for another four months.

01:11:39.460 --> 01:11:43.800
So it was pretty touch and go there for a while.

01:11:43.830 --> 01:11:46.940
And I think, as I was saying to George about that song,

01:11:47.070 --> 01:11:49.980
I think it's kind of a cathartic way to end the album for them.

01:11:51.120 --> 01:11:53.260
I'm only halfway through what the article is,

01:11:53.360 --> 01:11:54.760
but he made some comments, you know,

01:11:55.420 --> 01:11:57.340
I'm just glad to be playing again.

01:11:57.620 --> 01:12:00.180
And it seems like there's a new renewed energy in the band

01:12:00.330 --> 01:12:03.440
because they are all just playing and not taking it for granted.

01:12:04.060 --> 01:12:09.140
So I think that's part of what that album closes out like that for that reason.

01:12:10.620 --> 01:12:11.780
I can be wrong.

01:12:12.160 --> 01:12:17.020
That's where your intestine, like you get blowouts.

01:12:17.130 --> 01:12:20.680
Like there's pockets and stuff and shit gets in there and it gets festers.

01:12:21.480 --> 01:12:21.920
Infections.

01:12:22.100 --> 01:12:22.640
Oh, yeah.

01:12:22.760 --> 01:12:31.580
He makes a comment that the doctor said had you waited a couple more hours or had you not come into the ER, that could have been your last few hours.

01:12:31.670 --> 01:12:33.020
I mean, he was in bad shape.

01:12:33.200 --> 01:13:01.660
I guess I should look into that a little more. I've seen them once a lot. I wouldn't mess around with it. But I saw them live on when they played with Enslaved and they just absolutely crushed it on stage. They're great live. They're going to be in town with Bell Witch here and I'm feeling like I should probably go. But I think you bring up a good point, John, with the, he kind of had this medical commission near death experience and you have an album to follow. It reminds me of, and I could be wrong, but I feel like when Mastodon did Crack the Sky, that was based on.

01:13:04.840 --> 01:13:29.640
His sister, wasn't it? Well, I was thinking some of it came from when Brent Hines got knocked out at a festival or something by somebody. He wrote that whole record on his couch because he couldn't really get up. Yeah, yeah. It's about, I think, most of the crack in the sky because I think his sister's name is Skye. Yeah. And she committed suicide. Yeah, but that's the lyrical thing. And I think Matt's absolutely right because, by the way,

01:13:32.860 --> 01:14:02.620
of sucking these days correlates directly with Brent not writing as much of the stuff. It's mostly Bill Kelleher now, and I think Brent was a better writer. He's more proggy. Anyway, yeah, I think you're right, Matt. That's probably true. Yeah, so I'm going to hold any judgment. I've heard from other people that they have the album. They said it's amazing. It's up for some people. I think Brian was saying it to us today, wasn't he, George? He thinks it's that and another album, which will come up later.

01:14:03.360 --> 01:14:32.800
are his albums of the year. I'm glad to hear that. I have the Yob album on my mid-year list toward the top, and I've only heard two songs. Yeah. So what you're saying is your list brings not much of anything. Because there's shit on there that you haven't even heard yet. My list is going to be better than yours, is what it's going to say. What it's saying is we're going to be doing a lot of cramming in at the last minute. There's a lot of stuff coming out at the last minute.

01:14:33.400 --> 01:15:02.280
I did a lot of that today just for this episode. Yeah. Yeah. It's it. It was a tough day. It's been a tough week. All right. I'm going to I'm going to insert something else. Oh, whoa. Hold on. Now you're going to insert something. Something John said reminded me. I was trying to remember this when I was writing the script and it's about John and Terrorizer magazine.

01:15:03.480 --> 01:15:31.840
We're speculating that they finally bit the dust because, well, why, John? Well, apparently I'm not the first person here, but I got from Google Play because I get the digital copy of them through the app or whatever. I got an email that says, just to let you know your subscription has been canceled and you're not getting a refund for all the issues you never got. They specifically said that. Yeah. That's sassy.

01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:38.880
I'm going to go ahead and say that my interpretation wasn't that far off.

01:15:39.400 --> 01:15:40.320
Okay. All right. I'll buy that.

01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:51.840
And it kind of – I knew it was coming, but I was just a little annoyed because I'm like, you know, at least you can have the decency to say to people, yeah, we completely mismanaged this ship and sunk it.

01:15:52.420 --> 01:15:53.880
And we took your money too, by the way.

01:15:54.080 --> 01:15:54.240
Yeah.

01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:58.760
Yeah, I've got a subscription that I think it just ran out.

01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:28.920
And it was like, I get mine through Apple. And they're like, would you like to renew this? And I was like, why would I? I'm not getting anything for my money. And, you know, they probably owe me like half a year of magazines that I didn't get. That's what pisses me off a little bit about it, because that happened to me the first time I thought, oh, crap, did my credit card, did I get a new expiration date, a new card? And I, they just couldn't process it. So I signed up again, and got nothing for it. Not realizing that they,

01:16:29.200 --> 01:16:58.980
They dicked me again. Double dicked. There's a lot of people who are upset that bought the physical copy, which is more expensive, and they never got any of them. There's no communication. So Terrorizer, I used to like your magazine, but your management sucks, so go blow yourself. So Terrorizer's gone. Revolver's been a piece of shit for years. Metal Hammer's going the way of Revolver with the stupid shit they're covering. So what's that, Lee?

01:16:59.200 --> 01:17:28.240
That leaves Decibel. Decibel, the one mag to rule them all. And they seem to do it the right way. They do. I have to say, you know, I was the latecomer to get the, I don't know why I didn't get a subscription, but now I'm obviously reading it every month. That's a good magazine, man. I mean, they have some stuff in there I don't give a shit about. But not as much as the others. Not as much as the others. And none of the others would have done something as cool as like what happened last month, which was stay in class, Hall of Fame. You know, I mean,

01:17:29.200 --> 01:17:58.880
They make me look at some things that I might not like or listen to and I'll be like, maybe I should reconsider that or something. I like them. I think the other thing we probably all like about it is that be it limited, Will probably the most of all of us, we have some kind of a connection to Decibel in some level. You know, we all we know Adam first from all the beer Will and I drank for three years. That was a lot of beer. That we have not stopped drinking. But, you know, you got to meet Albert and everything. We had him on.

01:17:59.180 --> 01:18:02.700
the festival and so there's a little bit of a connection there too for us so yeah

01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:10.580
they're good guys and girls yeah oh yeah they they put up with us and they put up with us big time this year

01:18:12.060 --> 01:18:17.020
yeah they really did man i mean we you know they would that was cool that was cool they took good care of

01:18:17.960 --> 01:18:26.820
all right uh next up uh gotta move that out of the way marduk is releasing a new album victoria on june 22nd

01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:56.800
They released a second new song called Equestrian Bloodlust. I listened to that today. It sounds like Marduk. Anybody else? No. Yeah, I listened to it. I haven't yet, no. What'd you think, Jay? Yeah, I did. It sounds like they never change. You know what I mean? It's just like, you know. Which is fine. Which is fine. And I can appreciate that. I kind of like those guys that kind of rose from that scene back then that I'm still as dedicated as

01:18:56.820 --> 01:19:23.520
There's not that many of them, so more part-time. And as we mentioned earlier with the Blurring Guys, Immortal released a new song, the title track from their forthcoming album, Northern Chaos Gods. I was a little less enthused by it. I mean, it wasn't, I didn't dislike it. The vocals were a little thin for me, but I'm going to reserve judgment until I hear the rest of the album or at least a few more songs. It wasn't terrible.

01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:54.220
Well, here's what I liked about it, which was I actually liked the Abath record. It wasn't amazing, but I liked it. But it reminded me how much it wasn't like an Immortal record. Because when I heard this, I was like, oh, that's right. Immortal sounds like this. You know, so. Yeah, but I don't think it sounds the same without him. No, I'll buy that, but it's a little less commercial than what he did. Yeah, yeah. So I don't know. We'll see. Commercial is not the right word for it. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, it's not going to change the world, you know. We know that already. Right.

01:19:54.340 --> 01:20:24.300
So, George, you're not going to base your opinion on the album just on hearing one song. I did just say I'm going to reserve judgment until I hear the album or at least a couple more songs. Unlike the new or second song released from the Yob album, which you're kind of... I didn't knock the album. I said I was at 50%. I liked the first one, second one, not as much. 50%, that's an F in school. Well, okay, when there's a second Immortal song, when there's a second Immortal song, I will just...

01:20:24.340 --> 01:20:29.740
judge it and it might come home and say hey mom and dad i got a 50 yeah that's right

01:20:30.220 --> 01:20:53.220
you're never leaving the house this weekend oh my hey john i like that john shut the fuck up okay it's nice that he sort of brought science into the thing he was like you know what let me give you a little math into this and see how it works out uh yeah anyway so slayer kicked off their farewell tour in san diego

01:20:54.660 --> 01:21:21.140
And now we know what songs there are. I wasn't blown away by the set list. Yeah, me neither. So my... No, I'll just talk about that later. Well, are you saying that it's bad or... It doesn't include as much good stuff as I would have thought. And by good stuff, I mean there's not enough rain and blood around there. You know what I'm saying? Well, you gotta think about... I knew this was gonna come up and I know it's gonna come up later.

01:21:23.240 --> 01:21:53.200
They've been doing this for how many years? You're right. Yeah, no. Like, 30-some years. They're playing later stuff that sucks. Okay, it doesn't suck. Nothing Slayer sucks. Some of it's not so great. No, it sucks. You suck. Yeah, what's your point? Get to my glory hole. That's good. Own that shit, George. That's right. No, you know, the last two times I saw them, they did these amazing set lists, which, by the way, were much longer

01:21:53.240 --> 01:21:54.900
than this current setlist.

01:21:56.960 --> 01:21:57.580
So I was a little surprised.

01:21:57.580 --> 01:21:59.020
Know why this setlist isn't that long?

01:21:59.440 --> 01:22:01.140
It's like 500 bands on this tour.

01:22:02.320 --> 01:22:03.940
Everyone's playing for at least an hour.

01:22:05.580 --> 01:22:08.100
The door's here at 3.30 in the afternoon.

01:22:08.300 --> 01:22:10.080
Like I have to take a half day to see Slayer.

01:22:10.260 --> 01:22:10.360
Yeah.

01:22:11.440 --> 01:22:12.660
Why did they do that?

01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:15.980
That was a bad call because they could have filled these places probably by themselves.

01:22:17.340 --> 01:22:18.520
Since it's the goodbye tour.

01:22:18.700 --> 01:22:19.900
Maybe it's a wonder party.

01:22:20.940 --> 01:22:50.880
They're playing Jiffy Lube in our area, which I always love saying. And that's like $25,000. So I don't know if they, do you think they could fill that on their own? Because the last time you guys, well, did you guys, you and George see them at, did you go, George, to that? I saw them there. No, when they played at Silver Spring. That's only like $2,000. Oh, yeah. And now they're playing $25,000. Well, it was $2,000, but sold out. Yeah. No, okay, yeah, but, okay, I'll do the math here for you guys. $25,000.

01:22:50.960 --> 01:23:18.460
He's doing a lot of math tonight. It's 23,000. He really is. Metal Math with John. You've got two albums from a band that are good. If Slayer leaves San Diego at 5 o'clock p.m. and Blurring leaves Rochester at 2 p.m. Exactly. And everyone meets at George's house to head to MDL. How drunk will everybody be?

01:23:21.780 --> 01:23:50.900
I have to say I'm a little I wish they hadn't brought five bands I wish I would have preferred it another way they plus they just did this thing with Lamb of God and everything you know what yeah they can leave them off and but yeah I can see that Lamb of God being easily but I'm happy with them bringing Behemoth again though I actually I have to admit I skipped this leg of the tour I was going to go but I'm waiting now for the because they're coming closer so I'm going to the other one but they're playing Oracle out here John that big one whether I would figure you would

01:23:50.940 --> 01:23:54.980
probably get more opportunities at the very end to see them anyway just because

01:23:55.420 --> 01:24:02.100
they'd be playing it you know close to home yeah so well i will see them though at the next leg and um

01:24:02.450 --> 01:24:08.920
and i had to trade uh behemoth for napalm death which actually is a fine trade because i love the new

01:24:09.120 --> 01:24:12.640
napalm death record and i've seen behemoth a couple of times the new old napalm death record

01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:20.900
well i know the career's spamming yeah but fair enough anything napalm death is good yeah so uh

01:24:20.900 --> 01:24:24.640
Gruesome released a video for the song Inhumane from their forthcoming new album.

01:24:26.900 --> 01:24:28.140
I mean, we've heard the album.

01:24:28.660 --> 01:24:30.120
And yeah.

01:24:31.220 --> 01:24:32.980
So I got to ask you guys this question.

01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:34.700
Who watched the video?

01:24:36.060 --> 01:24:36.600
I actually didn't.

01:24:37.180 --> 01:24:38.040
No, I just listened to the song.

01:24:38.980 --> 01:24:40.160
Yeah, I just listened to the album.

01:24:41.240 --> 01:24:41.520
All right.

01:24:42.390 --> 01:24:43.460
So think about this.

01:24:44.380 --> 01:24:49.100
You go on YouTube and you search Gruesome Inhumane Video.

01:24:49.580 --> 01:25:19.300
What the fuck do you think pops up? Oh, there's going to be like animal slaughtering. Yep. Dude, I watched the whole video. But your search results, it's insane. It's like exactly what you said. Wait a minute. And that's what you're going to get in your recommended videos from now on. I thought you could do the show controversial videos. Oh, well. It's like Googling almost any metal band that's not a very big band. You have to type in, you know, Satanist band. You know what I mean?

01:25:19.600 --> 01:25:47.540
I can't do. God knows what's going to come up. That's funny though, Will. I'm picturing you going, what the fuck is this? So I did watch a video and the whole video is about, I guess, it's the year 20-something, whatever, in the future. And the entire Tampa Bay area has been turned into a giant penal con. Kind of like Escape from New York or Escape from LA. All Manhattan is a penal con. Did you say Escape? Are you Billy Joel? Also, did you say penal?

01:25:49.580 --> 01:26:17.240
No, he said penis. I might misunderstand that word. Did you say Bliskin? He said snake. I did say Dirty Sanchez. Blumpkin? So the video is just them executing people in various gruesome ways. Inhumane ways. Was Cigar City inside the penal colony? I think they were inside Monica Lewinsky.

01:26:20.620 --> 01:26:48.420
It took a second, but I got the reference. Cigar, Penal, anyone? Anyone? Bueller. Bueller. Anyway, so what's the next item on the list? We got a couple of album releases. Obscura is getting ready to release their new album, Deluvium, on July 13th. I think there's a new song, too, and I thought it was okay, I guess. I didn't really like their last album too much.

01:26:50.620 --> 01:27:18.360
It was okay, but it just didn't wow me. Wait, so you just had a whole bunch of caveats. I think they have a new album and a new song. I think it was okay. Did you hear it? I did, but I just didn't listen to it today. I listened to it when I put this on the script like four or five days ago, and I'm like, oh, yeah. If I'm not mistaken, and it's probably on the new one, too, on the last one, the guy was playing a fretless bass, and it just drove me fucking nuts, and I had stuffless. You gotta have frets or you're out.

01:27:19.100 --> 01:27:47.180
Well, no, I mean, it's just like this slidey, slidey thing all over the place. And it just dominates here. It's like if somebody's sitting in front of you and they keep clicking their gum. It's the only thing you can fucking notice after a minute. I saw them at Jack's once. And the singer has this really long blonde hair. And they had like fans on him. And it was like a it was like a makeup commercial the whole time. His hair is just glowing out and he's singing. It's like, you know, but it's like death metal.

01:27:49.100 --> 01:28:18.120
It's funny. Anywho. And the other new release is that Dee Snider's For the Love of Metal, his solo album, is going to be out on July 27th. And I'm hearing it's got really good album artwork. It is rough. Oh, God. I mean, it's like it's almost Dance of Death, man. Really. It's such a bad cover. It's pretty scary.

01:28:19.620 --> 01:28:49.020
Is it almost like stay hungry? Hey, no. That's a classic. It's worse than that. Have you not seen it? I think I sent it to the press. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. What's all those hands in the front? All the rest of the people in the band? Yeah, that was my favorite. Somebody made that comment. They were like, is that the rest of the guys in Twisted Sister? Is that Mark Mendoza? If you look at the cover, you'll know what we're talking about. And I highly recommend that you don't look at the cover. My day job is a graphic designer. And when I was in school, everybody was like, well, what kind of designer do you want to be?

01:28:49.080 --> 01:29:19.020
And I look around these days and it's like, oh, I don't even think I'd want to be a part of it. I mean, so how come you're not designing us a new image that we can use for shirts and, and, you know, promotion and stuff? Huh? Well, number one. Well, I mean, that logo is sick. I love the logo you had done. Not the logo, but like an actual image, an album cover. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'm on it. All right. I'm working.

01:29:20.860 --> 01:29:49.060
He's doing while he's talking. He's already... I gotta hang up, guys. You know, Pinocchio doesn't have shit on Matt. His nose just got lying in his ass. All right, let's move on to new releases. First one is one that I'm particularly fond of. I don't know what the hell

01:29:49.100 --> 01:30:16.200
I've gotten into me, but I think Will's kind of happy with the fact that I've been listening to a lot of Brutal Death Metal this past week or so. Well, let's just say that I'm rubbing you off. I mean, rubbing off on you. Exactly. Well, it's not bad. The first one is the new Aborted Fetus album, The Ancient Spirits of Decay. It's the sixth album. Hey, Will, search for that on YouTube, by the way. Aborted Fetus. You'll trust me. You'll just come straight up with the videos you want to see.

01:30:20.280 --> 01:30:21.020
This is the

01:30:21.240 --> 01:30:24.540
No, actually, you know what's funny about all, not funny, but

01:30:24.650 --> 01:30:27.620
almost strange about all this, is that

01:30:28.280 --> 01:30:30.160
my, like, I have a YouTube account

01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:32.260
like, you know, I log in, I watch stuff

01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:34.500
but it's mostly my son

01:30:34.720 --> 01:30:36.380
watches all the stuff

01:30:36.540 --> 01:30:38.500
on YouTube when I take my daughter

01:30:38.580 --> 01:30:39.720
to Taekwondo, so

01:30:40.200 --> 01:30:42.460
it's like Paw Patrol, people playing

01:30:42.540 --> 01:30:43.780
with Paw Patrol, some

01:30:44.420 --> 01:30:46.420
Star Wars stuff, and then it's like

01:30:46.840 --> 01:30:48.440
death metal stuff, and so if I start

01:30:48.540 --> 01:31:18.260
clicking on all this stuff. Sometimes he's like, what's this, daddy? Why is this in my feed? Because it's his feed, clearly. Anyway, this is the sixth album from the Russian Brutal Death Metal band. And damn, do I like this album. Is it out already? Yeah. It's out now? Yeah, yeah, it's out. I have it. I bought it. I think I bought it on Bandcamp. I think. Pretty sure. And yeah, might be a lister.

01:31:21.940 --> 01:31:23.180
And then just today,

01:31:24.050 --> 01:31:26.960
the long-awaited new Age of Taurus album,

01:31:27.090 --> 01:31:29.480
The Colony Slain, their second album,

01:31:29.700 --> 01:31:31.820
their UK traditional doom band.

01:31:32.080 --> 01:31:34.420
And John, what have you got to say about it?

01:31:34.420 --> 01:31:35.660
I think you've heard it more than anybody.

01:31:37.040 --> 01:31:40.380
Yeah, it's nice that they're back in the fold.

01:31:40.690 --> 01:31:43.820
I don't know if you guys heard their first album that came out, what, 2013?

01:31:44.280 --> 01:31:46.840
But like George said, traditional doom band.

01:31:47.300 --> 01:31:48.200
I enjoy their stuff.

01:31:49.420 --> 01:32:18.220
Will, you might actually dig it. You like Crip Sermon, so you might like this. It's a similar vein, you know, in style. I think it's good. I have a note here that just says need more time because I think I had about five seconds to hear a little, you know, a couple of the bars in the beginning and then I just haven't had time to check it out. There's like a lot of talking and stuff. I was listening but not focusing because, you know, it was the last minute. What we were just saying just now? No, the album. There's like talking and stuff between tracks.

01:32:19.240 --> 01:32:47.340
No, that's like once, I think. Okay, well. You have to get past the first song, George. I did. But I swear there was more talking. Okay, well, it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong, or the second time, or the 50th time. It's not going to be a problem if you're worried about that. I'm worried about it. I actually thought it maybe was like a story or something. It is, actually. It's a concept album, but the point I was making is it's not like you're going to get it between every song is what I'm trying to say to you. Okie doke.

01:32:51.760 --> 01:33:18.000
I did, but that wasn't giving it my full attention. Because, you know, it was multitasking. Well, you were listening on that shitty feed, weren't you? No, no, I listened to the... Oh, okay. I mean, I did. That was, in fact, that was probably... That's actually probably why, because I was streaming it from a website on my phone, and every time my phone went to sleep, it would shut it off, and I'd have to go in and start it all over again. So I'd probably listen to the same song three times.

01:33:20.820 --> 01:33:22.900
And then, you know,

01:33:23.430 --> 01:33:25.460
then I listened to an actual version of it today.

01:33:25.750 --> 01:33:29.920
So next, the new Alkohol, Alkohol, Alkohol,

01:33:30.320 --> 01:33:30.680
exactly.

01:33:31.460 --> 01:33:32.200
Alcohol, something.

01:33:32.690 --> 01:33:32.800
Alcohol.

01:33:33.700 --> 01:33:35.320
The new Alkohol, Liquid Anatomy.

01:33:36.120 --> 01:33:36.440
That does it.

01:33:36.440 --> 01:33:36.740
That works.

01:33:37.240 --> 01:33:40.200
Their second album, Prague, Death Metal,

01:33:41.440 --> 01:33:42.780
heavily influenced by Yes.

01:33:45.040 --> 01:33:46.060
Well, at least one song.

01:33:46.260 --> 01:33:46.360
Yeah.

01:33:47.420 --> 01:34:16.020
There's something else. There's some other ingredient in it. I'm still trying to decide. First of all, they've got a little bit of a tool thing going sometimes, by the way. You think so? I do. I do. I don't get that. It looked like that first song in particular, the first two minutes. Oh, that's what I thought George was referring to. The only art song. I had to concede that he was 100% right about that. God, I hate that song.

01:34:17.700 --> 01:34:20.060
I love that song it's the greatest yes song ever

01:34:21.420 --> 01:34:22.940
that's an epic fail right there

01:34:22.950 --> 01:34:25.180
really actually just about the only one I know too

01:34:26.200 --> 01:34:27.400
hey Matt don't listen to him

01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:29.360
when I send you yes music

01:34:29.560 --> 01:34:30.180
don't listen to George

01:34:31.580 --> 01:34:33.040
no I understand I'm keeping a

01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:34.400
no no

01:34:35.140 --> 01:34:36.560
no I heard that Matt was

01:34:38.220 --> 01:34:39.440
going to the prog altar

01:34:39.510 --> 01:34:41.600
of John and just listen to me

01:34:41.720 --> 01:34:43.400
and don't listen to yes

01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:44.780
yeah

01:34:45.620 --> 01:34:47.000
epic fail again from George

01:34:47.640 --> 01:35:16.940
Back to Alkaloid. I've listened to this album a lot and I like it. A lot. That's good. I like it too. It is good. I've been dragging my feet on it, but it is good. I actually like it better than the first one. It's a little more sing-y. It is. I think he learned how to sing. Because he's really a death metal vocalist. It's more focused, I think, though. I think it doesn't drift off into different areas as much as the first one. It's less proggy, to say the least. I mean, it's proggy no matter what they're going to do, but I agree. I think focused is the right word for it. I'm not sure.

01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:46.580
where I'm going to sit with it yet. I like it. I love the first one. I love the first one, too. Yeah, that was great. So I'll say this. They are still very creative. I mean, they are. These guys don't sit still. That record is all over the place. That Hannes Grossman is just an amazing drummer. He's so good. Well, if it's all over the place, Will's not going to like it. It's not. He's shaking his head. You like the first one, Will. You listen. I think he might have been the only one who didn't put it on his list. But he said he liked it, though.

01:35:48.520 --> 01:36:16.980
I think I listened to it after the fact. I've listened to this one a little bit. You've got to be in the right frame of mind for me. No, that's a reasonable comment, actually. It is. It's a little bit everywhere. It's not my wheelhouse. I don't want to say struggle. I have to try to like

01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:46.300
stuff like this. I don't have to open my mind and really put it. I have to put it in an effort. Where sometimes it's like I put on a death metal album and after the first two chords I'm like I'm buying this on Bandcamp. Which is really funny because these guys put most death metal bands to shame when they actually do death metal. Yeah but you know once you know 20 seconds out of an album I'm not sure. That's a complete false statement right there. 100% false. You're living in alternative facts.

01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:47.640
That is.

01:36:47.700 --> 01:36:52.920
I always think of you guys as like putting a dog and a cat, like in a box or something like that.

01:36:53.020 --> 01:36:54.620
Every once in a while, I'm just like, this is going to be good.

01:36:55.340 --> 01:36:56.380
Oh, he doesn't like it.

01:36:56.520 --> 01:36:56.980
I don't know.

01:36:57.100 --> 01:36:59.620
No, because I know what Will does when he listens to something like this.

01:36:59.660 --> 01:37:01.720
He hears the first minute and goes, nah, this is shit.

01:37:02.140 --> 01:37:06.120
Meanwhile, there's 58 minutes more of death metal that follows after that first minute.

01:37:06.340 --> 01:37:14.980
Well, I have to say, we've talked about this many times on the podcast that, you know, in today, two things are going on.

01:37:15.140 --> 01:37:16.640
One, we're getting close to the year end.

01:37:16.640 --> 01:37:46.400
So I am very hyper. Yeah. Mid-year. I'm getting very hyper focused on shit. I got like 50 albums that I've listened to this year that I put on a list. I'm trying to weed them down to what are we doing? 20 or 25? 25. We're doing 25. I got to weed these down. So all day at work, I have a sheet right here. I'm scribbling notes all over. And it's almost like this pressure where it's weirdly enough.

01:37:46.660 --> 01:38:16.540
I can't feel like I can really enjoy it, the music, because I'm just like, I got five minutes with this album. And yeah, I got five minutes with this album. I got to decide whether this is going to make my list or not. And so to not specifically to call out Alkaloid or anything, but I think it's one of the greatest albums I ever listened to. That was the perfect place to put that. We can move on to the next album, George.

01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:45.020
Hey, Amorphous, Queen of Time. I think it's one of the greatest albums I ever listened to. Man, this list is shaping up nice. It's all A's. Yeah. Well, we've all had the Amorphous for a little while. Where's everybody sitting on this one? I don't like it as much as the last one. It's all right. It's a little slicker. It's a little more symphonic, I think. Jay doesn't like a tube. It's a little more full.

01:38:48.580 --> 01:39:15.420
I can't. Okay. It's a little more folky. And do something with that, Will. It's always been a folk band, though. It's more folky than the last one. Folky with no slip move. I don't know. I don't know what it is. They sound more Finnish. And I know that sounds ridiculous because they're Finnish, and I get that. But I just, it's a little bit more. You want it to be unfinished. Wait, what? I'm not doing a good job here. But I just don't like it as much as the last one.

01:39:16.660 --> 01:39:46.120
Drinking. Mic drop. Incidentally, about as concerns the Alkaloid album, well, let's just always remember these are opinions we're talking about, and your opinion is wrong. I know. Usually, I would say 99.999% of the time when there is a consensus on an album on a year-end or a mid-year list, and the one person who doesn't have it on their list, it's me.

01:39:46.180 --> 01:40:14.680
No, that's not true. Unless it was Ordos and it was George. Yeah. And me. You know what they say, opinions are like assholes, and Will's an asshole. Yeah. Just kidding. Well, no, you're not the only one. I did it with cattle decapitation, remember? Yeah. You guys all had it, but I didn't. Nobody ever called me out on the fact that two years ago, that Gojira record wasn't even on my list. I didn't like it. Smegma or whatever the fuck. Smegma?

01:40:16.240 --> 01:40:16.660
to the pod.

01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:17.060
And I was like,

01:40:17.160 --> 01:40:17.540
God damn it.

01:40:20.120 --> 01:40:21.440
Came this close to leaving the pod.

01:40:21.740 --> 01:40:23.960
So are we amorphous?

01:40:24.060 --> 01:40:24.400
Yeah, well.

01:40:24.660 --> 01:40:25.180
Queen of Time?

01:40:25.480 --> 01:40:26.020
Well, I mean,

01:40:26.070 --> 01:40:27.320
I think we just talked about it.

01:40:28.040 --> 01:40:28.380
All right.

01:40:28.820 --> 01:40:29.960
We've had it for so long.

01:40:30.080 --> 01:40:30.900
Yeah, we've had it for a while.

01:40:30.900 --> 01:40:31.380
I love it.

01:40:32.360 --> 01:40:33.480
Last year's record now, yeah.

01:40:35.480 --> 01:40:37.280
Then we've got the new At The Gates,

01:40:37.470 --> 01:40:39.340
To Drink From The Night Itself.

01:40:40.400 --> 01:40:41.800
I don't think any of us are huge fans,

01:40:41.980 --> 01:40:42.480
but I'll tell you what,

01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:43.280
I'm going to have to give this one

01:40:43.300 --> 01:41:12.640
a real college try just because Jonas was such a cool motherfucker. Yeah. Do we know, was he playing guitar on this one? Yeah. I think he is. I think so. But yeah, I mean, it sounds like at the gates and which I was going to say. Yeah. It's like, Matt, Matt, please chime in. You're always so goddamn quiet. Sometimes I just like to listen. Just glad to be on it. With your clown mask in the corner. Matt just wants to stare at us while we're sitting here talking. Matt, are you wearing pants? I am.

01:41:13.300 --> 01:41:40.760
Okay, he's not wearing sleeves, that's for sure. I am sleeveless tonight. It's my yard work shirt. Cryptopsy. I like to scare the neighbors. I listen to... That's right, that's right. You can see the bronzing I did to kind of make it look like I have muscles. Or did you just draw like a little marker on your arm? I've actually just been clenching the entire time. Yeah, and you know what? That actually builds muscle, so nice work.

01:41:43.280 --> 01:42:13.260
today it was good it was no surprises right uh yeah yeah it sounds like at the gates if you like at the gates you should be happy uh if you don't like at the gates you're probably not gonna be happy all right the next one is uh church without a u in it uh light will consume us all their second album they're like a u.s doom sludge kind of band and uh i know will is a fan i am a fan though i have um maybe just i haven't had the attention span when this came out if this would have came out in january i probably would have spent a lot more

01:42:13.300 --> 01:42:25.540
with it, but because we are less than a month away from 28 days, yeah, so I'm cramming, and this is not the album to try and cram with.

01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:28.520
Was it like three songs, I think?

01:42:28.940 --> 01:42:41.500
Yeah, I mean, it's so true. I mean, I really, the new thing that came, the new album, Light Will Consume Us All, it's funeral doom, like funeral death doom, and I like it.

01:42:42.840 --> 01:43:10.880
I need more. I need less pressure in the last month and more time. Have we been pressuring? No. You're probably painting a picture of yourself as really uptight about them. No, no. I just figured we're going to be honest. I got this fucking mid-year hanging over my head, all right? I know. But you know what it is? I'll tell you exactly what it is. I'm busy at work. I try and listen to music all day at work.

01:43:11.580 --> 01:43:41.460
I've got baseball or taekwondo for my kids six nights out of the week and I just don't have a ton of time and so this is hanging. Here's a prediction. There's a lot of records that I need to give more time to. Yeah. What do you guys made a clever joke or was it that does the band make the joke about this about their titles at church without you in it? I said that last time. Yeah, that was George. Yeah. Well, I just picture us driving up to George's in a month.

01:43:41.640 --> 01:44:11.480
And I'll have to drive because you're going to be sitting there with a pad of paper just scribbling notes. No, no. By that time, he's going to be a nervous wreck. He's going to be like smoking. He's going to be sweating his shirt. He's going to be soaked through and everything. Well, you guys are sitting there on the Facebook Messenger that we have. If you ever look at this post, it goes on for years. Well, actually, it's a new one because we included Matt. But the previous one went on for years. We just added Matt to the... First off, that was during lunch. Second of all, aren't you the one who's on some OC system talking about metal at work?

01:44:11.620 --> 01:44:41.560
all day. But actually, no, Will, I side with you, Will, because I will go and I'll be like, I got to listen to that. And there's 14 other records that are so far up the thread now that I can't even find them. Right. And I'm like, these guys are so far ahead of me. I don't know. Fuck it. And I try. I go back and I scroll through it and I try and find everything. That's why I created the separate one for music only. So we didn't put that stuff in there. Yeah. Well, we fucked that one. Yeah. But still, it blows up every single time because somebody

01:44:41.580 --> 01:45:11.500
makes a dick joke and that goes on for like 20 minutes. Actually, let's start a third one called Really Just For Music and we'll keep all of these free going. The problem is if you're using Facebook on your laptop or your desktop, all the windows pop up at the same time you start putting messages in the wrong ones. Yeah. Yeah, that happens at orgies too. I was on a jury a while, a couple years ago for some crime. And, you know,

01:45:12.220 --> 01:45:41.380
One of the things they do, of course, is get somebody's cell phone and they'll be like, and they go through the old texts and stuff. And I'm just hoping one of us doesn't ever get into some trouble because if somebody has to go back and read through that whole fucking thing, they're going to be like, I think these guys are all fucking criminals. You know what I mean? Yeah, what is everybody drinking tonight? My goodness. And they're all very obsessed with penises. Yeah, there's a lot of penis stuff written here, Your Honor. I don't know what it means. So the final say, in my opinion, on church,

01:45:41.580 --> 01:45:43.160
I love these guys

01:45:44.030 --> 01:45:44.880
I like this new album

01:45:45.390 --> 01:45:45.920
I just need

01:45:46.380 --> 01:45:48.040
I feel like I need to block off

01:45:48.070 --> 01:45:49.480
an entire day to listen to it

01:45:49.620 --> 01:45:50.100
five times

01:45:50.640 --> 01:45:51.320
in headphones

01:45:52.100 --> 01:45:52.460
yeah

01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:54.280
super dense

01:45:54.820 --> 01:45:56.160
you should have it on in the background

01:45:56.270 --> 01:45:56.660
right now Will

01:45:56.740 --> 01:45:56.880
yeah

01:45:57.740 --> 01:45:58.420
that's a good idea

01:45:58.560 --> 01:45:59.200
let me do that right now

01:45:59.820 --> 01:46:00.880
I actually often do that

01:46:01.040 --> 01:46:01.260
when we're

01:46:01.780 --> 01:46:02.540
when we're doing this

01:46:02.720 --> 01:46:04.400
just try to drone us out

01:46:04.540 --> 01:46:05.280
when you're not talking

01:46:05.580 --> 01:46:06.200
yeah I turn it up

01:46:06.230 --> 01:46:07.240
yeah I think of the next thing

01:46:07.380 --> 01:46:07.780
I'm gonna say

01:46:07.790 --> 01:46:08.320
you know how it goes

01:46:10.260 --> 01:46:11.540
so this next one

01:46:11.560 --> 01:46:40.580
is probably the one that sparked my death metal binge this week. And this is the new De Profundus album, The Blinding Light of Faith. They're UK death metal bands, their fifth album, and damn. That's all I gotta say about that. I like it. S-I-Q-U-E, sick. I haven't heard it, but I will. Has anyone looked up to see what De Profundus means in Latin? The profound?

01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:42.960
My guess, I don't know.

01:46:43.860 --> 01:46:44.480
All right, good guess.

01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:46.940
Have you?

01:46:48.140 --> 01:46:48.480
No.

01:46:48.640 --> 01:46:49.380
Well, then why are you asking?

01:46:49.680 --> 01:46:50.280
What the fuck?

01:46:50.600 --> 01:46:50.740
What?

01:46:51.420 --> 01:46:52.000
Trying to see.

01:46:52.240 --> 01:46:52.740
You guys are.

01:46:53.160 --> 01:46:54.860
I was expecting a follow-up to that.

01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:56.660
Yeah, that's like trying to.

01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:58.200
That's like if you tell a joke like this.

01:46:58.330 --> 01:46:59.920
No, I was just asking if anyone did it.

01:47:00.380 --> 01:47:03.240
He asked George because that's the kind of episode we're having tonight.

01:47:03.420 --> 01:47:06.000
Hey, does anybody know how to do faster than light travel?

01:47:07.320 --> 01:47:07.900
Just asking.

01:47:08.740 --> 01:47:09.580
Yeah, just wondering, yeah.

01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:10.140
Yeah.

01:47:11.260 --> 01:47:40.560
Does anyone know how to fix the flux capacitor on my time machine? Yeah, just asking for a friend. 1.2 gigawatts, Will. 1.2 gigalos. Day Profundus means from the depths. There you go, see? That's actually a cool fucking thing. Was it in the DaVinci Code? You know, Dead Can Dance had a song called that too, and I always thought it was what George thought, which is some sort of play on profound, but not play on profound, but something about being profound.

01:47:40.780 --> 01:48:10.660
Not at all. Kind of dark. Okay. George, you've got a ton of work to do. Okay. Next up, we have the new Eye of Solitude album, Slaves to Solitude. It's the fifth album from the UK Funeral Doom band. And I really liked their early hour albums. And this one's not bad. I haven't given it probably enough time as it deserves, but I like what I've heard so far. It's kind of clean.

01:48:10.780 --> 01:48:40.140
for a funeral doom album. It's not quite as atmospheric. So, yeah. Moving on. Fractal Gates. The Light That Shines. This is the third album from a French prog death band. Yeah, it's different. You know, it's proggy, it's death. Anybody else listen to that one at all? By any chance? I start at night. Had to stop for whatever reason. I couldn't finish, so not much to save. All right.

01:48:40.780 --> 01:49:09.400
That's all I got to say about that. My notes are that I like this, but I need more time. So at some point in this crazy week, I listened to it very briefly and then just need to spend more time with it. I like that you're reading notes to yourself. It's like, it's like a memento, that movie. You say like, well, don't drink this. You know what I mean? Just like these little messages to yourself.

01:49:11.340 --> 01:49:40.460
Will's going to clone himself so he can listen to all the music he needs to hear. I have to tell you, Will, I agree with you more than you know, dude. I have trouble getting all this stuff. Yeah, we're in the same boat. Someday we should start a podcast. We'll talk about one record a week. It'll just be you and me. And one of us will be like, I honestly didn't get to it. You just got to start crossing albums off that list and save yourself the trouble. I know.

01:49:40.760 --> 01:50:10.600
Dude, I got this list that there's 42 albums on this list. This is not just, you know, this is just, this is what I've been listening to that doesn't suck. And then I'm trying to weed this down. With some of it, I'm realizing it kind of sucks. You can bring it up again for another five minutes. It's just, I'm telling you guys, I got a fucking prop. Yeah. So this next one is one that I'm particularly fond of. It just came out today. It's the new Necros Christos album.

01:50:10.780 --> 01:50:38.280
In fact, it's the final Necros Christos album, Domodon Doxomodon. They're a German black death band. This is a triple album, but don't worry, it is almost two hours long, but there's a lot of filler tracks. They like to do that. They'll do like a 12-minute death metal song, and then they'll do like two or three minutes of clean guitars and ambient stuff, and then another heavy track.

01:50:41.140 --> 01:51:09.740
Because it's so long, I've only heard it once through. It's definitely going to take some more listens, but this could be a lister. And what do you think, Will? I think it's one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to. All right. At least somebody's on my team. Okay. You know, you kind of pushed it somehow. I don't remember if you were like, you guys need to check it out. So anyway, I did. It's fucking great. I agree. It's a big undertaking, but it's really good. Super solid stuff. The few songs that I've listened to, I,

01:51:10.360 --> 01:51:40.020
Kind of thought it was pretty good. So I got to spend more time. Yeah, this is definitely going to be something that needs more attention within the next month. I was like, oh, my God, I have to listen to it like 10 times a day for the episode. But no, no. Once was enough to, you know, get the basic impression and I'll follow up before the mid year. And yeah. Next one is one I just sort of stumbled upon on Bandcamp. It's called The Nightly Disease. Smell of Burning Wood. It's a debut EP from an instrumental.

01:51:40.400 --> 01:52:09.740
Atmospheric Metal Band of Unknown Origin. It does not say where they're from. Or if it's multiple people or one person. I don't know. Is this the two-track one, George? Yeah. Okay. I listened to it a few times. It's good. I don't really know how to classify it. It's listed on there as black metal, but I wouldn't really call it that. Classify as top secret. Yeah. It wasn't really black metal. I didn't think so either. It was all right, though.

01:52:10.300 --> 01:52:37.320
I'd have to listen to it again. It was a nice listen. Smell of burning wood. It kind of conjures a smell. I was more concerned about what the nightly disease was like you asked. Yeah, I'm like, what is that? I don't know. Like little deaths. Yeah, my guess would be sleep is like the nightly disease. But I don't know. I was thinking gonorrhea. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I think it's probably sexual in nature. For sure.

01:52:39.440 --> 01:53:08.160
Next, we have the new... Because the burning wood would be your penis on fire every time you took a piss. Ah! Well done, Bill. You know, we can only go up from here. The smell of burning wood is never going to mean the same thing to me. Thanks. Next, we have Nocturnal Graves and their third album, Titan. They're an Australian black and thrash band. I know Matt was listening to this today.

01:53:09.440 --> 01:53:38.980
I did and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, I like what I heard. Is this the one you just sent to us like two days ago? I think so. Maybe. I don't know. I send so much stuff that nobody listens to. Yeah, the gonorrhea. Anyway, more beer. Next up, we only got like three more.

01:53:39.440 --> 01:53:46.420
new releases a lot of them this time it's been a bit busy busy week uh ritual necromancy

01:53:47.440 --> 01:53:55.000
disinterred horror they're an organ death band it's their second album and uh yeah it's kind of it's you

01:53:55.000 --> 01:54:00.060
know it's all right i like this one in fact i just realized today they're playing at mdf i'm like oh

01:54:00.530 --> 01:54:05.280
shit i gotta watch these guys i think it's saturday though are you going all four days three

01:54:07.300 --> 01:54:35.260
In fact, I'm glad I'm not going Sunday now because one of the bands I wanted to see got canceled today. Okay. Dark Space. I almost brought it up when the Blurring guys were on, but I wasn't able to squeeze it in there. There's been a lot of cancellations this year, as every year, but it seems like there's a lot this year. Sunday's just taking a beating for the festival this year. Yeah. I wanted to see Dark Space and Evokin and...

01:54:35.300 --> 01:55:03.600
One other band on Sunday, I think. Isn't My Dying Bride by that day? Yeah. So I've never seen them. But yeah, they couldn't. Visa Issues, the old familiar refrain. Yeah. It's for every festival here in the States where bands come over. Yep. It is, yeah. And it's random. It's not. Usually it's not even the promoter. They do everything they possibly can to get these bands in.

01:55:03.660 --> 01:55:07.020
It just depends who you got working that particular band

01:55:08.080 --> 01:55:08.740
And it's

01:55:09.700 --> 01:55:10.720
expensive and all these different things

01:55:10.720 --> 01:55:12.280
I can understand guys aren't

01:55:13.740 --> 01:55:14.920
to commit to something

01:55:15.280 --> 01:55:16.240
for some of these guys they gotta

01:55:16.980 --> 01:55:18.420
take a week off of work, whatever it is

01:55:19.300 --> 01:55:20.500
it's always the customs

01:55:21.160 --> 01:55:22.400
they don't give them visas

01:55:23.080 --> 01:55:24.280
But that's a problematic process

01:55:24.400 --> 01:55:26.080
so they have to either commit to buying a ticket

01:55:26.260 --> 01:55:27.960
and maybe they got a three week wait on a visa

01:55:28.180 --> 01:55:29.000
I mean it's problematic

01:55:29.960 --> 01:55:32.280
I just know just from a little bit from

01:55:33.900 --> 01:56:01.920
They spend the whole year working on these things. This is what happened with Dark Space. Everything was good up until this last week. And it was something random thing like, and I'm being snarky here, like somebody took a fart. Well, they're not coming in now. It's that ridiculous, some of them. And it's not consistent. It is. And you're right. It's a regular refrain. I remember Enslaved Tour getting canceled a couple years ago for this very reason. I mean, the bands that come to the States,

01:56:02.320 --> 01:56:31.880
on a frequent basis, like every couple of years in play, X number of dates have zero issues because they've gone through the process. They're on the radar. It's these bands that come over for these one single dates or just a few shows. And those are the cool ones because they're like, oh my God, this band is coming. Exactly. It makes it more special because you won't get another chance to see them again. I can't remember. There was some... I've gotten burned on a few of those where it was like I went to... Well, there was one or two at Death Fest that time when I was there.

01:56:31.900 --> 01:57:01.720
that we were all excited about and it was like, what the fuck? Who was it? So many. I can tell you right now, Jay, if Aranzi Pazuzu had bailed out on us, I mean, that would have ruined our whole day. They would have been the perfect band to get hit this way. Yeah, because they only played two dates in the US and I think George and I are somewhat in agreement. They were probably the one that stole the show. Oh yeah, for sure. Are they putting a record out this year? I haven't heard. Haven't heard anything. I mean, it has been that long since the last one. They have.

01:57:01.740 --> 01:57:31.700
They got a couple things going on, so. Okay. Yeah, they were amazing. All right, two more. Skinless, Savagery, their sixth album, a New York Brutal Death Band. We mentioned them, I think, in the last episode, but the album's out now, and it's still kind of cool. And finally, the new Wilt album, Ruin. Their Canadian atmospheric black metal band is their second album, and I've heard that several people were listening to this today. Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised

01:57:32.080 --> 01:58:01.460
how much I really loved this album. It was just... I just found it enjoyable to listen to in a weird sort of way. Is this because like 3 4th of your name is their band name? It's Will Past tense. Which by the way, I always thought that was the funny that Wilt Chamberlain, you know, he was famous for like, you know, he was a real... He was always after the girls and I always thought that name was so inappropriate for him.

01:58:03.620 --> 01:58:29.640
I mean, maybe it's appropriate now. Like, use that up, buddy. That's pretty good basketball player, too. Yeah, I heard. I heard he could throw. And he was in Conan the Destroyer. That's right. He was in a couple movies, yeah. Not a great actor. Not a great movie. He was perfect for it. All right, it's time. Skell crushes. Skell crushes.

01:58:32.260 --> 01:59:01.680
Yeah, I realized as I was about to circle back to Will again, I was like, wait, Matt hasn't done one yet. That's true. And so you saved me. Thank you. So Matt is going to do Metallica. I did Metallica once. And so now I actually get a chance to ask some Metallica questions, which I'll probably repeat questions you guys asked me. But I hope I'm not. I don't. I was worried about that. Well, actually, some of these questions, I think I had.

01:59:04.540 --> 01:59:05.640
I asked him again

01:59:06.300 --> 01:59:07.480
just to see if he was paying attention.

01:59:08.160 --> 01:59:08.440
Uh-huh.

01:59:10.380 --> 01:59:10.740
All right.

01:59:10.900 --> 01:59:13.120
Well, do we want to start with John?

01:59:14.080 --> 01:59:14.360
All right.

01:59:14.560 --> 01:59:16.340
Hopefully I don't see anybody's questions here.

01:59:16.960 --> 01:59:18.660
So hopefully nobody else is on Metal Storm.

01:59:19.620 --> 01:59:19.940
Uh-oh.

01:59:20.480 --> 01:59:20.820
Uh-oh.

01:59:22.300 --> 01:59:22.880
All right.

01:59:23.040 --> 01:59:23.680
To my advantage.

01:59:24.420 --> 01:59:24.680
All right.

01:59:25.460 --> 01:59:27.900
First question is true or false.

01:59:28.080 --> 01:59:28.700
True or false.

01:59:29.460 --> 01:59:59.320
Lars Ulrich is the wake link of Metallica. True. You are correct. Okay. Now to the real questions. That was the best question ever. Just stop right there. 100%. Comedic cruelty. He does that every time though. He's going to like it. That was more of just a fact-based statement more than anything. Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's not a scientific, factual. Icebreaker. Yeah. All right.

01:59:59.460 --> 02:00:29.420
Everyone's loosened up. Let's do this. Now we're loosened up. Well, you and I got on earlier, Will, so I'm pretty loose. Oh, I know. Actually, I'm kind of uncomfortable. That's what I know, yeah. Alright, first one, is it true or false? Is it true that the call of Colucci, I can't see my glasses. Cthulhu. Thank you. Is it true that it was intentionally misspelled because the band did not want to actually call upon the

02:00:29.460 --> 02:00:59.360
mythical creature by spelling out its full name. That's an awesome question. I don't know the answer to it, but just remember Cliff Burton did a lot of acid, man. I'm going to say true. He could have been paranoid about this. Of course it's true, because that would be the most ridiculous thing ever. But yes, it is true, so you got that correct. That's funny. I would just say that there's actually no real consistent way to spell it. There is. C-T-H-U-L-U.

02:01:01.740 --> 02:01:28.760
Well, sometimes with an apostrophe. Oops, I said it. Yeah. I have summoned Cthulhu. I have to admit that would be kind of funny if George got eaten in the forest and be like, well, who's going to take over now? I'm John Jay. It'd be like that movie Unfriended where the guy gets eaten in the blender while he's on Skype. All right.

02:01:29.460 --> 02:01:57.620
Real quick, who or what was the inspiration for the title of Death Magnetic? I know all the years because I was there. Am I stealing your questions? Not yet. You were there? You were aware of it? Well, he was there with them during the album making. No, he wasn't. What? No. Oh, yeah. Jesus. Come on. No, this is good. I don't know this. I'm curious to hear. I didn't know it either until I read it. I heard it before, but I'd forgotten.

02:01:59.460 --> 02:02:29.280
I know this is wrong, but I'm going to say Lou Reed. Nope. Different dead guy. Yeah. Yeah. The inspiration was somebody that died and they brought in his picture and they hung it up on the wall. And so it's a dead musician. It better be fucking Cliff Burton, but it's not. No, no, no. Actually, they put a picture of Lane Staley from Allison Chains on the wall. And apparently it resonated with resonated with James. Yeah. All right. So.

02:02:30.300 --> 02:02:59.180
Did Laney Saley drink him something, Death? No, heroin. Unfortunately. Okay, last one. It's a lyric one. I'm taking Will's lead here. And actually, the way I got this is similar to what Will did last time with Megadeth, but can you name the songs where this lyric has been used twice? Ooh. I know it. It's a little graphic. Fuck it all and fucking no regrets.

02:03:00.360 --> 02:03:27.920
I can repeat that if you need me to. I'll repeat it. Fuck it all and fucking no regrets. Fuck it all and fucking no regrets. Never happy endings on these dark sets. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Are you answering these questions? I'm not answering it. I'm just singing. It's true. He was just kind of going with the flow.

02:03:29.460 --> 02:03:57.340
To be honest, I have nothing. And that's probably going to be a theme as we continue. It was a hard question, but I thought of it when Will did the first lyric, last lyric by Megadeth. George, would you like the answer? Because you seem to know it. I do. Damage Incorporated was the first time. What's the second time? The second time, I forget. That was... Come on. It's the new album, right? New-er.

02:03:59.460 --> 02:04:29.100
I think it's from St. Anger. St. Anger, yeah. Really? Bingo. Oh, yeah. That's why I don't remember. It's like Frantic or... Actually, I think it's the song St. Anger. St. Anger, yeah. One of those, yeah. Or St. Anguish, whatever you want to call it. Saint piece of shit. Yeah. All right. Those were kind of hard. Sorry. Oh, those were good? Those were good. I did like the Lane Staley question because I didn't know that one at all. Yeah, I would have never got that. Will. All right, Will. Bye.

02:04:29.480 --> 02:04:59.380
I think I have a whole shitload of softballs. It just depends on how Dad of Northern Darkness knows Metallica. So, question number one. What is Kirk Hammett's birthday? What the fuck? It's relevant. Is it today? No. I'm good, because I'm not supposed to be answering. It's not Halloween, is it? No.

02:05:01.900 --> 02:05:29.420
It's your birthday, Matt. I'll tell you this. It's close. It is nine years and 364 days from mine. And we... Hey, listen. Jay just guessed what's my favorite Kiss song. That's true. Yeah. All right. So...

02:05:31.900 --> 02:05:58.880
I like the hint. The hint was good though. It was like it's nine years. The day before your birthday is after this day. Another day you have no idea about. It's the day before your birthday. It's the day before my birthday by nine years. Okay. I think the question was skip it. Well are you sure you didn't mean to ask what is Lars favorite Kiss album?

02:06:04.400 --> 02:06:29.080
Is that psycho circus? All right. So Kirk Hammett's birthday is November 18th, 1962. My birthday is November 19th, 1972. Anyway, moving on. I never would have guessed that. Because I don't know why you didn't understand that question and why you didn't get it. I feel like if anybody did. Hold on. Let me write that down on my calendar for next time.

02:06:29.140 --> 02:06:30.580
I'll send you a card.

02:06:32.780 --> 02:06:33.140
What is

02:06:34.960 --> 02:06:36.680
my favorite Metallica album?

02:06:37.460 --> 02:06:38.520
You took my question.

02:06:39.220 --> 02:06:40.740
And by the way, he got it for his birthday.

02:06:41.300 --> 02:06:43.380
Did you say what's Will's favorite Metallica album?

02:06:43.940 --> 02:06:45.380
Or your favorite Metallica album?

02:06:45.680 --> 02:06:46.060
Mine.

02:06:48.180 --> 02:06:49.760
Hey, Matt, I'll give you a hint.

02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:51.160
His is the Black Album.

02:06:52.640 --> 02:06:53.360
I'll give you another hint.

02:06:53.620 --> 02:06:54.520
Mine is not.

02:06:55.180 --> 02:06:57.000
His favorite is Load.

02:06:59.340 --> 02:07:28.040
What's so funny is like, as I was thinking about doing this and, you know, choosing like Metallica as being my band, the Black Elm is probably the album that I listen to the most in my life that's been ingrained in my, not, I mean, it's the one that I, but here, here's my disguise. Oh my God, it's probably the one I listen to. You look like Jay now. That's good. Twinsies. I forgot what the question was.

02:07:28.180 --> 02:07:58.080
Do you have a hoodie in that room? What's Will's favorite Metallica album? I'm going to say it's... I'm going to say Kill Em All. Master of Puppets. Damn it. After all of that set up, by the way. Sorry. All right. What is the one song from Metallica's old catalog that they hate? It's my favorite one.

02:07:58.180 --> 02:08:27.600
What is the one song from Metallica's old catalog that the band hates? Old catalog. It's off Ray the Lightning. George, you have this habit of chiming in. Just narrowing it down a little. I would guess Fade to Black. No. Can I take a guess? Yes. Is it Trapped Under Ice? No. Escape. Oh, I know what it is. All right, so are we doing George versus Metallica?

02:08:28.180 --> 02:08:57.520
Let's Jay guess. He did, but I thought Matt had given up. He got it wrong. All right. So it is Escape. They hate that song. Escape. Escape. Escape. Escape. Escape. Escape. It's no longer a cape. It's an escape. Who produced? I got whatever. A couple more. Who produced Ride the Lightning? James and Lars? No. Cliff.

02:08:58.960 --> 02:09:27.660
Not a band member. A Dane. A Dane. You guys are all wrong. King Diamond. You guys are all wrong. No, he's Dane. Oh, you know what? He may have only engineered that one, George. Who produced? Not engineered, not mixed. He produced the first four albums. Or no, second, third, and fourth albums. Yeah. God, I suck. I'm stumping.

02:09:28.160 --> 02:09:57.760
No, I don't know if you do because he's telling us it's not who we thought it was. He's wrong. I'm not wrong. You're wrong. Come on. I mean, actually, I have to tell you. I've got the big box set. Okay, who is it then? It's Metallica. Reducing credits for Rida is Metallica. It's not a single person. It's Metallica. It's Fleming Rasmussen. Yeah, I thought it was Fleming Rasmussen too. It is. Okay, well.

02:09:58.180 --> 02:10:28.140
You pick up the liner notes from the LP and you read it and it says produced by Metallica. Well, obviously their ego has gotten the best of them. He is like an engineer basically on the album. So I think Matt gets a big partial credit for that one. 50%? I don't think he can. Yeah, 50%. Well, he named three band members so he gets 75%.

02:10:30.679 --> 02:10:55.100
What two songs off Ride the Lightning does Dave Mustaine have writing credits on? While you're thinking, Wikipedia lists the producer as Metallica and Fleming Rasmus.

02:10:57.440 --> 02:11:25.140
So we're both right. Well, I will just say that I have the physical. So do I. Vinyl. I looked on the physical vinyl and it just said produced by Metallica. And I'm sure that's one of the reissues where they probably like, you know, Sharon Osbourne him out of there. I have the Bible version here of Ride the Lightning. Let's see what it has to say. Wikipedia is never wrong, man.

02:11:29.700 --> 02:11:31.600
All right, creeping death. Oh

02:11:34.400 --> 02:11:37.020
There you go. Yeah, that's the

02:11:38.080 --> 02:11:39.960
That's the whitewashed version backwards like that

02:11:40.560 --> 02:11:43.440
Huh? It is. This is the reissue. Yeah

02:11:44.180 --> 02:11:49.320
Not the reissue. I probably have the cassette sitting over there somewhere. Can we move along by the way?

02:11:49.460 --> 02:11:52.240
Yeah, creeping death and trapped under ice

02:11:53.260 --> 02:11:54.420
I do not remember from before

02:11:54.780 --> 02:11:55.199
Damn it

02:11:55.220 --> 02:12:24.340
I thought they were false. Hey Matt, think true or false? Think true or false. The two songs off Ride the Lightning that Mustaine still has writing credits on is the song Ride the Lightning and Call of the Cthulhu. Damn it. Think true or false. Next question. What Metallica album did Despo say was the greatest of all time for Thrash? Shit.

02:12:26.300 --> 02:12:55.160
It wasn't ride to lighting, was it? Is that a question or a statement? Well... It had a question mark at the end of it, so it was a question. I'm going to say Master of Puppets. I would just say that go back and say that without a question mark. Ride to lighting. Thank you. Yes. Ride to lighting. That's bull named the number one thrash album.

02:12:55.260 --> 02:12:56.280
of all time.

02:12:59.240 --> 02:13:04.080
What Metallica album did Rolling Stone readers poll say was the greatest of all time?

02:13:05.000 --> 02:13:07.380
Just so you know, the correct answer is who gives a shit.

02:13:10.320 --> 02:13:14.580
It was actually named the greatest heavy metal album of all time.

02:13:15.480 --> 02:13:16.400
The Black Album.

02:13:17.320 --> 02:13:17.540
No.

02:13:18.020 --> 02:13:18.400
You know what?

02:13:18.400 --> 02:13:21.520
That is an extremely great guess because it's Rolling Stone.

02:13:22.180 --> 02:13:22.360
Yes.

02:13:22.360 --> 02:13:22.940
Oh, so.

02:13:23.840 --> 02:13:53.320
You mean they actually did something right? Yes, Master of Puppets. When you buy the record now, it actually says that on the sticker. Rolling Stone's greatest metal album. That's how I know. As if they're the authoritarian on metal. Yeah, they're not. The greatest Metallica albums have a certain number of syllables. How many syllables? What?

02:13:53.880 --> 02:14:23.800
I'm sorry words don't forget it oh that's that's a throwaway question what to memory yes kill them all ride the lightning master of puppets did you say kill them all that was interesting you sort of cleaned it up for him you're like I don't like that grammar shitty grammar okay my last one I know I'm going on way too long what to members have writing credits for every song on master of puppets

02:14:25.740 --> 02:14:26.680
Lennon and McCartney.

02:14:28.520 --> 02:14:30.700
So there's two members of Metallica.

02:14:30.700 --> 02:14:32.200
It's the biggest ego's and you'll probably get it.

02:14:34.360 --> 02:14:35.200
So James and Lars.

02:14:35.790 --> 02:14:35.900
Yep.

02:14:38.020 --> 02:14:38.780
All right, I'm done.

02:14:39.500 --> 02:14:40.420
Well done, sir.

02:14:40.800 --> 02:14:41.520
I'm coming at you live.

02:14:41.650 --> 02:14:42.940
Now, we'll see.

02:14:43.960 --> 02:14:45.940
Where was Cliff's last show?

02:14:47.480 --> 02:14:48.300
He died that night.

02:14:49.170 --> 02:14:50.340
Or early the following morning.

02:14:50.940 --> 02:14:51.740
So we can get the country.

02:14:53.220 --> 02:15:20.860
Can you narrow it down? For extra credit? I cannot, but I just read it the other day. Take one wild guess because, you know, what... The only city in Sweden everybody knows? And it's not Gothenburg. Stockholm? Yeah. You're killing it. All right. Wait, so this is a serious question. Did he die in Sweden? I thought he died in Denmark. No. No, he was in Sweden. Sweden? Okay. All right.

02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:50.220
What? Okay, so they famously lost their first, I don't know if it was their first, but I think it was their first Grammy nomination. They lost it to a band that probably was a strange person to lose to, band to lose to. Do you know who the band was? Jethro Tull. Can you name the record? Extra Credit. Oh, I know this. You too. Not anymore. Let's hear it, boys. Christopher Nave.

02:15:57.400 --> 02:16:19.760
All right. I have two more for you. One is a lyric question. We'll do that one last. Was I right? About Jethro Tull? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You got it. I'm sorry. You said it was a confidence. I was sure you knew. Yeah, you got it. Which also, by the way, not the best Jethro Tull album even. Yeah. Kirk bet one of their crew members.

02:16:21.800 --> 02:16:51.000
When the Black Album was selling really well, it sold like 5 million copies. And the crew member said, it's going to sell 10, man. And Kirk now sold like 20. Kirk said, if it sells 10 million albums, I'll give you my blank. And it sold 10 million albums, and he did give the guy his blank. Virginity. That's pretty good. You know what? Is this your question, Will? Is this Ask Will Questions? If you don't know it, you probably won't guess it. But it is a story some people know, so I thought it might have crossed. I mean, I don't know it. I would guess his car.

02:16:52.239 --> 02:17:17.700
Got it. It was a Porsche. I would have said guitar. Yeah, it was a brand new Porsche. And he said, I'll give him a fucking Porsche. And he did. And then the guy sold it on eBay later. True story. Many years later. One quick lyric from a song. You might want to sit with it for a minute, but I think it'd be pretty obvious to you. Circus comes to town. You play the lead clown.

02:17:22.659 --> 02:17:51.780
Is that hitting everybody kind of hard? George has gotten it. Oh, I know, yeah. Give him the... No, no, no. Sing the meter of it? Yeah, that's all I was going to say. Circus comes to town. You play the lead clown. That sounds like something post-Black Album. No. No. This is... You disappoint me, Will. And it is... It's a forgotten song, but everybody remembers it as...

02:17:51.800 --> 02:18:21.460
It's great. It's a great, great song, and it stands out on a great, great record, but you can easily forget to mention it, and then when you hear it again, you're like, dude, that's the fucking greatest song ever. I have a thought. I have an answer. Can I steer you towards it a little bit? Yeah. It's from Master Puppets, the record. Shit, my thumb fell off. Actually, that's weirdly.

02:18:21.820 --> 02:18:51.559
I think he just made the connection there. You gotta say it. Are you talking to me? No. No, I did not draw the connection. Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna punch myself in the face. I think you probably will. Yeah. Can I answer? Let Matt. I would, I would, I'm gonna go battery. Nice try. I would say,

02:18:52.380 --> 02:18:53.000
Leper Messiah.

02:18:53.660 --> 02:18:54.340
Leper Messiah.

02:18:55.800 --> 02:18:57.740
And now you can hear it in the song, can't you?

02:18:57.880 --> 02:18:58.139
That easy.

02:18:59.260 --> 02:19:00.620
I couldn't decide if that was a song.

02:19:02.740 --> 02:19:03.360
You know what?

02:19:03.440 --> 02:19:03.780
It is.

02:19:04.019 --> 02:19:08.160
It sounds like a lyric that came from a Kiss song.

02:19:08.639 --> 02:19:09.200
That's the problem.

02:19:09.540 --> 02:19:10.700
You know, lyrics are hard, man.

02:19:11.360 --> 02:19:13.559
I can't tell you how many times I've heard The Prisoner.

02:19:13.800 --> 02:19:17.200
And when you asked me a Prisoner lyric one time when I was doing Maiden,

02:19:17.429 --> 02:19:18.900
I was just, I mean, it should have been right there.

02:19:18.910 --> 02:19:20.000
But I was just like, I know it.

02:19:20.179 --> 02:19:20.660
But it could be.

02:19:21.059 --> 02:19:21.200
Fuck.

02:19:21.219 --> 02:19:50.740
You know, lyrics are hard. All right, Joey, it's your turn to take a break. Before I get into my questions, I just happened to look online and noticed that Jay always posts a picture, a silly picture about the podcast. I want to know what band that is. Do you know what band that is? I do. Are you really asking me? Yeah, because the people look familiar. I'm like, I almost have it, but I can't think of it. Who are they? Metal Blade Band. Oh, no, a girl.

02:19:50.820 --> 02:20:19.500
Oh, there's a girl in there. Hold on. Look at it again. You probably didn't own it. I didn't own it, but I know exactly. It's a bitch? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's Betsy. Yeah. All right. Anyway. Okay. I really enjoy, by the way, seeking out those photos and posting them. So if you guys ever have any ideas for good ones, let me know. You don't seem to run out. Hey, speaking of photos, real quick. Is that the War Horse album cover behind you on the wall, Jay? No. No, that's this great.

02:20:20.820 --> 02:20:50.340
Let me show you. Actually, I'm glad you asked. I want to show you. No, that's not it. Not that one. The other one. I know that's not the one you were talking about, but my wife just hung these up. I just love these old Indian photos like this. That's cool. They're not Indians. They're American. Native Americans. But the other one is a painting. I think that my mother-in-law did it. It's a guy on a horse. It's not the war horse thing. It does look like it, though. Yeah, sorry. I thought it looked like it because I remember you liked that album a lot.

02:20:51.400 --> 02:20:52.380
All right, Matt.

02:20:53.160 --> 02:20:56.460
What is the most remote place Metallica has played?

02:20:57.660 --> 02:20:58.000
Antarctica.

02:20:58.680 --> 02:20:58.820
Yup.

02:20:59.580 --> 02:20:59.860
All right.

02:21:01.400 --> 02:21:03.840
Whose bunk was Cliff sleeping in when he died?

02:21:04.700 --> 02:21:08.920
The story goes that the band members all drew cards.

02:21:09.840 --> 02:21:10.260
No, no, no.

02:21:10.540 --> 02:21:11.820
Just those two drew cards.

02:21:12.060 --> 02:21:12.420
Oh, was it?

02:21:12.560 --> 02:21:12.660
Okay.

02:21:13.641 --> 02:21:18.500
And whoever drew the card, was it the Ace of Spades?

02:21:19.360 --> 02:21:20.020
That I don't recall.

02:21:21.600 --> 02:21:22.700
They drew cards.

02:21:22.720 --> 02:21:23.980
With one with the Ace of Spades.

02:21:24.300 --> 02:21:30.400
And so he got to choose which bunk he was going to sleep in, and he slept in this person's bunk.

02:21:31.740 --> 02:21:33.200
So you've got a one in...

02:21:33.200 --> 02:21:33.980
Did he say Lars?

02:21:34.720 --> 02:21:35.660
Nope, it was Kirk.

02:21:36.100 --> 02:21:37.040
Kirk, dang it.

02:21:37.560 --> 02:21:37.680
Yeah.

02:21:37.980 --> 02:21:39.040
Should have been Lars!

02:21:39.800 --> 02:21:41.080
Should have been Lars, yeah.

02:21:42.450 --> 02:21:42.840
All right.

02:21:44.920 --> 02:22:14.760
The Original Pressing of Ride the Lightning had some covers that came out with the wrong color. Instead of being blue, what color were these defects? That's a highly sought after... Yes. George pillaged the rest of Metal Storm. I did. Luckily, we didn't overlap. Metal Storm's awesome for this. It is, yeah. Some of them are really stupid, but... I have no idea, but I'm going to say, yeah,

02:22:14.820 --> 02:22:44.780
I'm going to say yellow. Green. Almost yellow. Damn it. All right. Well, yellow and blue make green. Yes. Because of the... Wait, are we suddenly done the Metallica skull crushers? Yeah. Sorry, that was kind of like an unceremoniously end to it. I feel like my skull was crushed. I mean, in the reality, I literally, I retained zero information. That was one thing I noticed, like, when I would

02:22:45.399 --> 02:22:49.780
I'd be like, you guys retain so much knowledge. I retain shit.

02:22:49.780 --> 02:22:55.380
Matt, you answered the first question you answered correctly, which was, is Lars the weakest link of Metallica?

02:22:56.140 --> 02:22:57.420
That's really all you need to know.

02:22:58.119 --> 02:23:00.260
We're done. Matt got 100%.

02:23:02.060 --> 02:23:04.620
Hey, we've all embarrassed ourselves. Not that you just embarrassed yourself.

02:23:04.760 --> 02:23:07.680
But I have thought I would do so much better on some of the bands I've chosen.

02:23:08.460 --> 02:23:08.560
Yeah.

02:23:09.300 --> 02:23:11.700
But I'm enjoying this, so I think we keep on it.

02:23:12.100 --> 02:23:12.200
Yeah.

02:23:12.500 --> 02:23:12.920
Top five.

02:23:35.540 --> 02:23:41.720
Wir haben, die Top 5 Slayer songs we want to hear on their

02:23:42.200 --> 02:23:42.920
Upcoming

02:23:43.439 --> 02:24:12.180
which is only a few weeks away for us now. I can almost guarantee they won't play any of them. No, they'll play one of mine. That's probably it. I know they're not going to play any of yours because if you look at the song list. Yeah. I was like, oops, I'd already looked at it. I didn't even bother to look at that when I did this. I couldn't look at it. So these are ones that I know they're not playing, but I wish they would. That's the way I approach it. So, all right, we'll start with number five.

02:24:12.960 --> 02:24:39.720
My number five is from Undisputed Attitude. I would love it if they would play the filler I Don't Want to Hear It medley by Minor Threat. Nice. Minor Threat. A DC band. So my selections are, you guys are way bigger Slayer fans than I am, so mine are probably somewhat predictable, I guess. Some of them. But my number five is from Hell Awaits. At Dawn They Sleep. Oh, nice. Nice choice.

02:24:42.000 --> 02:25:11.780
The way I approached this was that I did look at their current set list knowing that I'm not going to pick something that they are going to play. And then I went back and I kind of looked at songs that I really liked that are obscure that I know they will never play. Perfect. Except my number five, which is Ultra Sacrifice from Rain and Blood, which I love that song because I just want to hear I want to hear the crowd go praise.

02:25:13.040 --> 02:25:41.020
Yeah, that's what I want to hear. And they're not playing an Omnicurrent set list. Somewhat similar to John's, but not at all. That's the other kind of long. That's the other kind of epic, slower song up of Hello Waits, and that's Crypts of Eternity. Nice. Most all my stuff is from the Metal Blade era. Well, I like to pattern my list after John's. I'm going to go at Dawn they sleep. Yes.

02:25:43.199 --> 02:25:45.240
And back to Matt.

02:25:46.039 --> 02:25:47.600
I should preface my list.

02:25:47.720 --> 02:25:50.620
I have not seen Slayer in probably five years.

02:25:51.500 --> 02:25:51.620
Yeah.

02:25:52.080 --> 02:25:52.540
Five, six years.

02:25:53.160 --> 02:25:55.260
So I'm like dying to see Slayer.

02:25:55.380 --> 02:25:58.080
So my list is probably going to be very predictable because I literally,

02:25:58.770 --> 02:26:00.140
aside from the one I just mentioned,

02:26:01.379 --> 02:26:02.940
I did peek at the list.

02:26:03.060 --> 02:26:03.540
I don't know.

02:26:03.680 --> 02:26:04.820
I feel like I saw all these.

02:26:06.120 --> 02:26:07.120
Sorry for the spoiler alert,

02:26:07.280 --> 02:26:09.320
but my number four is Angel of Death.

02:26:10.140 --> 02:26:10.360
Yeah.

02:26:12.100 --> 02:26:13.760
So I guess my question is why

02:26:14.580 --> 02:26:15.540
why is it number four

02:26:16.810 --> 02:26:18.780
Yeah if it's going to be on the list it should be number one

02:26:18.890 --> 02:26:18.980
Yeah

02:26:20.359 --> 02:26:22.260
He hasn't got to raining blood yet or anything

02:26:22.779 --> 02:26:24.280
Give the man some room to breathe here

02:26:24.700 --> 02:26:25.520
I love lamp

02:26:26.120 --> 02:26:26.720
I love lamp

02:26:29.140 --> 02:26:29.960
I love lamp

02:26:31.340 --> 02:26:33.740
No honestly like this list would have been easier if you would have said

02:26:33.860 --> 02:26:35.960
what are five Slayer songs that you don't want to hear

02:26:36.160 --> 02:26:37.760
I would have had an easier time doing that

02:26:37.980 --> 02:26:38.580
Yeah me too

02:26:40.760 --> 02:26:41.120
But

02:26:41.120 --> 02:27:09.680
John's head would explode. He's like, oh my god. Speaking of John. Why would my head explode? Because most of the Slayer songs you don't want to hear? Yeah. No, no, no. Because you have a big list of songs you don't want to hear. You would have been like, I can't make that list. I'm just elaborating for Will. Oh. Okay. Here's my number four. The visual is so awesome. It's like.

02:27:12.279 --> 02:27:40.860
It's like, you know what, I don't even have the energy to tell you to go fuck yourself right now. It is almost midnight. Whatever. Your list of Slayer songs you don't want to hear, I don't care. No, midnight here. Off of South of Heaven, Ghosts of War. Oh, yes. Yeah. I thought they played that. I don't remember. They might. They do not play that on this current tour. It's Scrum. Yeah, apparently, like only,

02:27:40.940 --> 02:28:10.460
I just checked in only a couple of my songs were on the tour. So I'm kind of psyched. That might became like all of a sudden not deep tracks but not used tracks. I checked to make sure that none of my songs were on the tour because I had to change a couple of them. Yeah. I assume none of mine are but I think one of them is probably because I always play. All right. Well, number four. So this is where I'm going to get to a territory where people are going to ostracize me from the podcast. But I do enjoy.

02:28:11.439 --> 02:28:38.740
A Lotta Slayer. Probably the biggest Slayer fan on the podcast. Throughout their entire career, I celebrate their whole catalog. Pleasure's all on this side of the table, Will, believe me. So, from the 1998 Diabolus in Musica, Love to Hate. I knew as soon as you said, as soon as you gave us that long fucking speech, I was like, it's going to be Diabolus in Musica. That's it. I'm out of here. I like this. No!

02:28:40.940 --> 02:29:07.300
Is that a bonus track? But I did interrupt the actual song. I just love to hate. I think it's a great song. It's a good album. Just what people say. There's not a Slayer album that I hate. There are Slayer songs that I don't like more than the others. I always look at it this way. When you look at the Big Four,

02:29:10.940 --> 02:29:40.680
out more bad albums than good, and Slayer has not done that. They're the ones who have wandered the least far from the path. Right. And then in those times they did wander, they came back. Right. And they only really wandered once. I wonder how much they wander. And I wander. Jay. Jay. I'm going deep. And this is still one of my favorite Slayer songs, and it dates back from when I got Shona Mercy first got it.

02:29:40.960 --> 02:30:10.460
You still listen that record all the time. It's the only record out. It was their first one. And there's a song on the second side called Cryonics that I fucking love. Cryonics. Nice. And it's about just what it sounds about. It's about being frozen in cryogenic sleep and stuff. Really good song. So they were trapped under ice and they were like, hey, let's write that. Yeah, it would have been after trapped under ice. But they'll never play it in a million years. Yeah. My number four, Skeletons of Society. Ooh. Off Seasons.

02:30:14.159 --> 02:30:15.660
Skelton's of society.

02:30:16.770 --> 02:30:17.460
That would rock.

02:30:19.220 --> 02:30:19.540
Anyway.

02:30:20.739 --> 02:30:21.620
Matt, number three.

02:30:22.560 --> 02:30:23.160
Big shock.

02:30:23.530 --> 02:30:24.160
Alter sacrifice.

02:30:24.920 --> 02:30:25.260
Oh, yeah.

02:30:25.660 --> 02:30:29.100
Oh, because you wouldn't hear them say,

02:30:29.480 --> 02:30:30.880
pray all say, say done.

02:30:31.120 --> 02:30:32.200
The sacred words of.

02:30:36.339 --> 02:30:37.220
All right.

02:30:37.430 --> 02:30:38.040
My number three.

02:30:40.740 --> 02:30:42.280
That's like the beginning of Hello8s.

02:30:42.280 --> 02:30:43.660
So you guys are awesome.

02:30:44.860 --> 02:30:46.260
Walk with me.

02:30:46.800 --> 02:30:47.360
Sorry, Todd.

02:30:48.820 --> 02:30:49.160
Sorry, Todd.

02:30:49.600 --> 02:30:49.680
Anyway.

02:30:50.460 --> 02:30:54.320
Okay, that's not my number three, but not predictable at all.

02:30:59.760 --> 02:31:00.360
Post-mortem.

02:31:01.319 --> 02:31:01.720
Yeah.

02:31:02.260 --> 02:31:02.620
Nice.

02:31:02.900 --> 02:31:04.840
I mean, I just, I want to hear that regardless.

02:31:05.120 --> 02:31:06.460
I don't care how popular it is.

02:31:07.040 --> 02:31:10.720
I've got a beef about that I want to mention later, but not about

02:31:10.740 --> 02:31:40.700
your choice but about their set you want to roll it into uh and uh raining blood yeah it's split but it's like we're gonna play this one like way here and then like half an hour later we're gonna play the other one play them together they go together well yeah they sort of do yeah just saying it's like it's like we're the champions and and uh and uh the other one i got one it's like the other one it's like opening with electric uh or the hellion yeah and then playing the encore right um here's another one

02:31:40.720 --> 02:32:09.560
that I will be ostracized for. Yep. My number three. New Faith. 2001, God Hates Us All. I actually really love this song. That's fine. That's actually what's... I put the Bible in a pool of blood so none of its lies can affect me. How awesome would that be for everyone, for 20,000 fans to be shouting out at the same time? Pretty awesome. First of all, 15,000 of them don't know it, so they won't.

02:32:15.620 --> 02:32:39.080
My number three, and this is the most predictable one on my list, that is for sure to play, Chemical Warfare, but it's a great song. Yeah, I almost put that on there. I was like, oh, wait, they're playing it. Never mind. They should go to Damascus and play that song. I mean, it's ouch. Topical. Well done. I'm actually more impressed than anyone knows what the fuck I was talking about.

02:32:41.280 --> 02:33:10.260
Damascus, Maryland, right? Yeah, there is a Damascus, Maryland. No, Damascus, Texas. Doesn't Texas have all those? Yeah. As soon as Pennsylvania. Just for people outside of the area, there is actually a Damascus, Maryland about 20 minutes from here. Number three, George. Number three from Diabolus in Musica. It is not the same one as Will. Overt Enemy. Oh, that's a good song.

02:33:12.860 --> 02:33:13.380
Anyway.

02:33:14.360 --> 02:33:14.660
No, hey.

02:33:16.480 --> 02:33:17.020
Thanks all kinds.

02:33:17.440 --> 02:33:17.820
Number two.

02:33:20.340 --> 02:33:20.800
Just kidding.

02:33:22.240 --> 02:33:23.100
No, you're not.

02:33:25.181 --> 02:33:26.460
That's a shitty song.

02:33:26.780 --> 02:33:27.540
No, it is not.

02:33:27.730 --> 02:33:28.720
Those lyrics are awesome.

02:33:31.560 --> 02:33:32.200
My number two.

02:33:32.570 --> 02:33:35.760
This is the first Slayer song I ever heard, which blew my mind.

02:33:35.870 --> 02:33:37.100
It is called War Ensemble.

02:33:41.200 --> 02:34:10.340
No, I'll, I'll, I'll, real quick aside, one of the reasons why I love Slayers so much is they, having spent 26 years in the military, they sing a lot about warfare and war ensemble is just one of the absolute greatest war songs ever made, period. So many people. I'm not sure they play it, they pretty consistently play it, I don't remember if it was on the show. No, they will. I, John,

02:34:11.200 --> 02:34:39.600
My number two from Seasons of the Abyss, Expendable Youth. Ooh, nice. Nice. I feel like they played that last time, didn't they, Will? They have played it occasionally here and there. Almost any song that's on Season of the Abyss, they'll sort of just sort of randomly whatever tour it is, and they'll just play it.

02:34:41.200 --> 02:35:11.160
that album is amazing yeah they pull i agree they usually pull something out of that record yeah did y'all see the tour when they did it front to back seasons i did in 1990 uh no i would have saw it like in 2010 they megadeth did rest in peace and they did seasons front to back uh yeah maybe i did i don't know well i saw i saw the week in the abyss which you know if you listen to this podcast i've said

02:35:13.040 --> 02:35:14.440
A.

02:35:41.200 --> 02:36:11.100
the brain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It goes on and on and on, but it's basically about a bullet going through your head and, um... And I really relate to that. Yeah, yeah. I like that you have a spiritual relationship with all the Slayer songs. This next one is about killing horses. Let me tell you a little story. Yeah. Anyway, I'll give you one time. My last two, and I know we're only doing number two, but they've both come off of Helloweights, which I guess must be my favorite record by them. And these are also two of my favorite songs.

02:36:11.180 --> 02:36:40.680
I know they've played this one, but I know it's not coming out this year. Necrophiliac. Yep. Yep. I'm alone on that. It's a great song. My number two and number one are both from Rain and Blood. My number two is Epidemic. And on to Matt for number one. It's almost like we planned that.

02:36:43.700 --> 02:37:09.600
My number one is Criminally Insane. Oh, nice. Rain and Blood. Yeah. Like you, Jay, I think Hello8s is probably my favorite album by Slayer also. So I'll be really predictable and select Hello8s as my number one. Will? My number one. I don't think I've ever seen them play this live.

02:37:11.180 --> 02:37:41.140
The Theme of My List is Off of South of Heaven, Spill the Blood. I would love, love, love, love to see them play that live. My number one, I have sort of told this story, I'll be brief, but I stayed outside one summer when I moved to Tucson and waited for Slayer to show up. And I met them all and everything. This would have been a South of Heaven tour. I was just a skinny little kid. And I asked Cary King if they were

02:37:58.280 --> 02:38:07.100
e a música.

02:38:12.380 --> 02:38:13.120
That was it.

02:38:16.220 --> 02:38:17.600
The lists, they are done.

02:38:18.280 --> 02:38:19.680
Alright, we're winding. We're getting there.

02:38:20.080 --> 02:38:22.180
Yes, now we move on to what we're listening to.

02:38:46.360 --> 02:38:47.180
Matt, what are you listening to?

02:38:48.080 --> 02:38:48.300
All right.

02:38:49.600 --> 02:38:50.360
Okay, here I go.

02:38:50.460 --> 02:39:20.140
Thy, Kataf, I'm going to butcher this song. Thank you very much, Geometria. The new Isan, Amur, a band called Abraham. Look, Here Comes the Dark, kind of like a Swiss post-metal sludgy outfit. Coming from the roundtable we had last time, I listened to a ton of Sabbath. Stuff you know, clearly all familiar with, but I just wanted to kind of re-feel that distinction between Ozzy and Dio.

02:39:21.460 --> 02:39:50.440
Last time I talked about listening to the new Tanger Cavalry. Yeah. And I went back and listened to some of their older stuff. And the album I listened to was Sunusu Cavalry. Yeah, that's the good one. Yeah, I really dig it. It reminded me of like kind of how I got into folk metal from this band. I want to say their names pronounced Elvady, but I hadn't heard him and I... I'd say Aluvite or something like that. Aluvite. But it was like, I...

02:39:50.460 --> 02:40:20.400
I saw the genre was Gothenburg metal and folk metal. I was like, what the hell does that sound like? And I listened to it and I'm like, I really like this. Yeah. Um, yeah. Fabulous album, uh, active impalement, perdition cult. Uh, and then three, uh, that John recommended, uh, lure and forgotten sleep, uh, hive, have, I want to say Iaton is the name of the album. And then the will to run sleep at the edge of the earth. Oh yeah. Uh, all good stuff.

02:40:21.579 --> 02:40:50.420
This is one I think you sent along, George. MOL. Yeah. Strangely enough, I have not listened to Death, Heaven, and Ghostbath in some time, so I think I just was kind of, I don't know, I enjoyed it. And then the new Skinless, and then in prep for both tonight and next week, I listen to a ton of Slayer. Nice. All right, John. Okay, we've mentioned a lot of these already, but Age of Toros.

02:40:51.119 --> 02:41:20.300
Colony Strain, I'm digging that, Solilichium, I'm just tired as hell. You could be wide awake and completely sober and you can't say that name. Yeah, but it's the new one which comes out in a couple weeks, Contemplations, I thought was kind of cool. I did listen to the Church album, Light Will Consume Us All, and I thought it was all right. We already heard me talk about Amorphous and the Yob.

02:41:20.480 --> 02:41:26.140
I listened to the gruesome which was cool and then my whole week has been dominated by the

02:41:26.360 --> 02:41:32.380
alkaloid liquid anatomy there's been a ton of other stuff too but these are just the ones I can't remember

02:41:35.041 --> 02:41:43.780
cool my what I've been listening to I kind of I mentioned it briefly I got the heaven and hell and my rules

02:41:44.240 --> 02:41:50.440
black sabbath vinyl and the kids have been listening to that quite a bit and you know if you've

02:41:50.460 --> 02:42:19.340
I've been remarked back to earlier in the episode. My kids love Black Sabbath. My son is indoctrinated. Sorry. Jay, you said you're going to send me some pair of glasses. I really need them because I'm like... Somebody in the podcast, they sent the Tunguska mammoth. How's me?

02:42:20.000 --> 02:42:49.980
You just found that on my band camp. Or maybe I said it. I don't know. Maybe I did. I don't know. But their album, Breathless, I'm checking that out. I like that. The Grotesquerie, which is quasi-supergroup. Cam Lee, who was back in Massacre and another dude. The Loop Line, Anathema. The Day Profundus, which we've already talked about. Gruesome, Twisted Prayers. Holy crap. That's going to be pretty

02:42:50.000 --> 02:43:19.280
T high on the list because I can't fathom how much they just sound like death. Like if you didn't know that Chuck unfortunately died how many years ago? 2001? You would just think that these guys just keep producing new music. An album that I bought accidentally on iTunes, Flesh Hoarder, Homicidal, Necrophile, but it's pretty fucking good. It's got one of the greatest song titles ever.

02:43:19.880 --> 02:43:20.000
Yeah.

02:43:22.279 --> 02:43:26.800
I've been listening to the At The Gates, the new At The Gates, Two Mold.

02:43:27.180 --> 02:43:30.040
They played Atlas before, The Matter of Infinite Forms.

02:43:31.020 --> 02:43:31.780
Really liking that.

02:43:32.779 --> 02:43:33.140
Wayfarer.

02:43:34.400 --> 02:43:37.240
John, I don't know if, because I came in late, I don't know if you mentioned that, but

02:43:38.319 --> 02:43:42.420
I really love their last album and the new album, World's Blood.

02:43:43.100 --> 02:43:46.920
I've been trying to ingest this thing, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it.

02:43:48.780 --> 02:44:16.980
Somebody mentioned Gravelines. Maybe John? I want to say. Like on when we were doing the Messenger thing or something. But Fed It to the Nihilist Engine. Next one. I think I want to say Jay mentioned this one or provide this one to the podcast. Slug Lord? Yeah, it's a cool record. Yeah, Endless. I really like that. Graveyard came out with a new one.

02:44:18.800 --> 02:44:48.760
It's called Peace, and it's a lot better than the previous one. So it's old school, kind of traditional rock doom sort of thing going on. Sololoquium, which John was just mentioning. And then the New Wilt, which I am just surprisingly loving because I just put this on the background and it's like a symphony to my ears. And then, of course, because of our

02:44:48.780 --> 02:45:18.740
Guest, a lot of blurring. Blurring. I'll keep you brief, partially because I've listened to a few of the things that you guys have mentioned, but some sort of standouts, the ones that I probably listen to the most and also some that were mentioned. I have also listened to the Alkaloid starting today, but I did hear the pre-tracks and that'll probably spin in a lot with me. George was absolutely right about that Necros Christos record. It's a big commitment, but it's a good record.

02:45:19.619 --> 02:45:48.720
The Gruesome, I agree, is great. I'm such a huge fan of Old School Death. And those guys do nail it. That will be on my list for sure, Will. No telling where. And a bunch of other stuff, but the one I'll mention the most that really has really been resonating with me, because I missed it kind of when it came out, and that's the new record by The Crown, Cobra Speed Venom. God damn, Teddy. So good. They're just, they're kind of like,

02:45:50.140 --> 02:46:18.460
Like last year, you know, we had the, um, like the witchery album and there's another thrashy. They kind of, they fill that little thrashy void, you know, I love that record. It's so many good riffs on it. It's definitely going to be on my list. Um, that's it. I ate. What have I been listening to? Let me just whip this out. Uh, Akvan, Forgotten Glory.

02:46:18.800 --> 02:46:48.480
It's the full-length debut from an Iranian black metal guy. You don't hear that a lot, so I checked that out. Adam Winter, Catacombs, their third album, German Death Metal. As I think I've mentioned, I listened to a lot of death metal this week, so I hope Will's taken note of some of these. He's probably already heard them all. Next one I got from Matt, Aurora Borealis, Apocalypse, seventh album of a Maryland black death band.

02:46:50.760 --> 02:47:18.280
Defi-A-Tori, Hades Rising. It's the second album. They're sort of a Swedish, slightly deathy thrash. Actually, I think I sent this to you guys. It reminded me of like a Slayer Creator mishmash. What was the name again? Defi-A-Tori. Yeah, I think you're pretty close to that in your description. I checked it out. It's definitely pretty good.

02:47:18.300 --> 02:47:47.740
It was surprisingly good. I was like, wow. There's name your price on Bandcamp, so eat that shit up. Next up, Depravity. Actually, here's a question for you guys. When you say name your price, are you guys like a buck, whatever? Or you do? All right, whatever, cheapskate. Depends on what it is. It depends, too. I usually probably go five bucks. I was going to say, yeah, that's my minimum. I'm always a dollar per song. Oh, okay.

02:47:47.820 --> 02:48:14.760
So I'll pay. Typically, I pay more than they ask. If it's pay what you want, you definitely pay more than they ask. Yeah, I do. It's a dollar a song. I do the same as you will. Yeah, that's nice. Thank you, John, for supporting me and these other fucking cheapskates. No, you're right. I feel a little guilty now. Who would have thought you two were the nice ones on this podcast? Nobody.

02:48:17.820 --> 02:48:44.760
All right. Depravity, Evil Upheaval. It's the debut album from an Australian death metal band. Yeah, yeah. I will. I like that. I like that. In fact, I think you said it last time because I called it Evil Knievel. Yep. Another one I just discovered, Euphorian, Ends of the Earth. It's their second album. They're from all over the place. Symphonic Black Death Metal.

02:48:47.820 --> 02:49:16.660
a little heavier. I don't know. It's cool, though. I liked it. Grave Hill, The Unchased, The Profane, and The Wicked. Fourth album, California Black Thrash. I like it when you say something that I actually have. That came out a while ago. Are you just getting around to it now? I did. In fact, we had the promo, and I didn't listen to it. I saw it on Bandcamp, and I was like, oh, sure. I bought it, even though I had the promo.

02:49:17.180 --> 02:49:46.620
Because I gotta have the flack, you know. So. Next up, the gruesome. Enough said. Human Waste. Actually, here's a question. You've been in a death metal kick. Yeah. So, you think gruesome is gonna make your list? Maybe. I don't know. I have to look. It might already be on there. That is the worst goddamn fucking answer I've ever heard in my goddamn fucking life. No, no. I just honestly don't know. It might already be on there. I don't recall.

02:49:46.720 --> 02:50:14.340
He's probably his number one with that answer. I see. Oh, well, yes. I mean, it probably isn't, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Yes. No. No. Yes. Human Waste. Aesthetics of Disgust. German Brutal Death Metal. He's good. And this next one, this one really blew me away. This might make the list.

02:50:16.780 --> 02:50:46.680
and fourth album of UK brutal death. Any comments on that one, Will? Yeah, well, I own that album. I was actually kind of surprised that when you just said that Ingest would make your list. I said it might make my list. There might be room. If Grusome doesn't push it off. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Sorry, Will. This one won't make my list, but it's still kind of cool. The band's called Lecturn, and I'm thinking English is the second language because the album title is Deheadment for

02:50:48.520 --> 02:51:16.120
You've been de-headmitted. You've been de-headed. Not be-headed. De-headed. They're Italian death metal, so it's de-headmitted. Next we have Lik. L-I-K. Maybe it's Leek. I don't know. It's Swedish for corpse, I believe it is. And their second album, Carnage. These guys have been around. They're from Catatonia and some other bands like that, but it's cool.

02:51:16.720 --> 02:51:44.480
And the one that Matt mentioned, Mole, Mjol, and Jord. It's their Danish black post-metal album, and it's pretty good. Necrocraft with two Ks. Their second album, Servants. They're a Swedish black thrash death band. It's good stuff. Requiem. You know there are like a million bands named Requiem. One of them that I know of is a power metal band. There's like a million of them. It's impossible to find if you're going to look it up on Spotify or something.

02:51:46.720 --> 02:52:16.620
which is Global Resistance Rising, Swiss death metal. Rotted, Pestilent Tomb, Illinois old-school death metal. And Suneater, which is spelled S-V-N-E-A-T-R. The album is The Howl, The Whisper, and The Hunt. That's the vanity license plate spelling for Suneater. Yes. They're a Canadian black metal band, just in case you thought it was going to be all death metal.

02:52:18.979 --> 02:52:46.380
Two Mold, Manner of Infinite Forms, Canadian Dev Model. Yes! You played Atlas. I didn't know that. Now I'm like kicking myself. You never come down and we have so many great bands that play Atlas. You have so many bands playing that I've never heard of. And it's like 12 hours to get there. What? Like an hour and a half to get there. You disappoint me. I know.

02:52:47.420 --> 02:53:16.560
You are dead to me. You are dead to me. And the last one, one that Will totally hated, Tunguska Mammoth Breathless. No, I like that. All right. And there we are. We are at the end. Next time you hear from us, actually, that's not true. Next official episode you hear from us will be the mid-year episode, I think. But there's also Death Fest next week,

02:53:16.720 --> 02:53:45.900
You'll probably hear some shit from that. I'm gonna take the Cougar Bush up to MDF just in case. I'm gonna bring an iPhone attachment because I'm not gonna be able to bring the Cougar Bush into the venue. Why not? Because they make you take all the shit out of your pockets and go through a metal detector. And they won't light. Not with that attitude. Yeah. So I'm gonna. I have a particular set of skills.

02:53:47.260 --> 02:54:15.460
He's gonna put it in his anus. They're gonna wave him and they're going, we're not going in after that. So. Back door. But I'm not parked near enough to the venue. I wanted to get the Rams head parking so I could just go in and out and put it in the car as needed. But I'm too far away for that. So we're gonna have to use different equipment. But yeah, there should be an MDF episode of some kind. And just so just.

02:54:17.619 --> 02:54:46.600
Let's bring multiple cougar bushes just in case. Yeah. That always works out well. Actually, it doesn't work out well when we don't because then Will takes it and disappears and nobody can find it. Well, you know, I have things I need to do. Yeah, we all have things we need to do. Apparently they need to be recorded. It's not and it's not my fault that you douchebags didn't bring one. Oh, wait, wait,

02:54:46.720 --> 02:55:13.500
Wait, we have a sound for that. Yeah, yeah, it's in here. Hold on. Wait for it. Wait for it. That's a little better. All right. Before we go, make sure to check us out on SoundCloud and Facebook and Twitter. I am at Disciple OV Metal. Can you say that with a little more enthusiasm, please? No, I cannot.

02:55:17.680 --> 02:55:46.680
What cluster 60? Why? The funeral version. Like if you google Bromino Will you may find me. I'm on the internet. So like if you have a computer and like you have Instagram and if you like put naked pictures of yourself

02:55:46.720 --> 02:56:14.460
on Instagram that maybe you'll find me. That's Snapchat. Will's really jumped on a couple rails tonight and just been like, I'm riding this fucker to the end. Whatever it is, man. He's starting little bits and he's just going, you know what? These guys don't do anything for the next six minutes. I'm going to do a funny voice. You know, I had an idea. I haven't actually shared this yet, so you guys can shoot it down if you want. Wait, let me get on my listening face. No, let me get on my machine gun.

02:56:16.720 --> 02:56:17.200
Firepower.

02:56:19.040 --> 02:56:19.540
Any of your ideas?

02:56:19.770 --> 02:56:28.940
I had this thought that, you know, we should ask people to write in something, like send us an email, george at metalheadspodcast.com.

02:56:29.739 --> 02:56:36.900
And we could read it on an episode if somebody wrote in and they had a comment like, dudes, you guys suck or whatever.

02:56:37.330 --> 02:56:39.680
But to expand on that even.

02:56:39.790 --> 02:56:43.540
So if you want to do that, if you want to write us something, we can read it on a show.

02:56:43.650 --> 02:56:44.240
We'll do that.

02:56:45.360 --> 02:57:10.280
But I was also thinking, what if we actually had somebody on? Like a listener, like, hey, you know, write to us. And if it's not like a million people, and like, it's probably not going to be anybody. But if you would like to come on and sit in on an episode, perhaps like a non-interview episode when we have more time, and just like sit in and give us your two cents, talk shit with us.

02:57:10.840 --> 02:57:40.280
Yeah. I thought we kind of proposed the first and second thing you said, but just no one is taking us up on it. Nobody ever takes us up on anything. Nobody's listening, listening, listening, listening. This is a three-hour episode alone itself, and nobody's listening right now. Most people by the hour maybe turned it off. This is the part where we take off our pants. Yeah, you kind of have to do it in the beginning. Yeah. Or on the face-to-face. I didn't think about it at the beginning, but you're right. It does need to be at the beginning.

02:57:40.700 --> 02:58:10.220
But if you made it this far and you want to do it, let us know. George at MetalheadsPodcast.com. If they made it this far, there's something wrong with it. We'll start putting a contest at the end of the episode to see if anybody listens. Also, I want somebody to come on and be like, hey, it's great to be on the episode. Baba Booey! We're going to give away a free pass to the glory hole. Baba Booey! First guest sign, I like the clutch. Hit him with the hind! All right. Let's kill this.

02:58:10.700 --> 02:58:40.620
Yeah, let's wrap it up. It's late. For some of us. Jay's like, it's 9.30 at night. I'm tired. I was tired when we started. Matt looks really tired. I'm exhausted. Sorry, I was sleeping. Okay, so when are we going to interview these guys? All right. Hey, I will say this one. Matt, you're kind of part of the podcast. You need to fucking speak up.

02:58:41.159 --> 02:58:45.560
I just get really shy

02:58:46.140 --> 02:58:47.000
no don't

02:58:47.680 --> 02:58:48.400
what if I just

02:58:50.640 --> 02:58:52.900
the whole time I'm going to just hold the mic like this

02:58:53.539 --> 02:58:54.420
good idea

02:58:59.380 --> 02:59:00.640
the voice of God

02:59:00.950 --> 02:59:01.360
or Satan

02:59:01.580 --> 02:59:06.060
there'll be this long conversation between us privately like how do we get him to talk a little less now

02:59:07.119 --> 02:59:08.760
I just want to do my Tom or I

02:59:08.780 --> 02:59:37.520
I've missed that I always love is he has a total radio voice. He's like, hey everybody, hope you're all having a good night out there. And our next song is called Angel of Death. I feel like he's at the Rotary Club or something. Thank you all for coming on for Phyllis's retirement party. And in fact, this song's for you. It's Cryonics.

02:59:38.580 --> 02:59:39.280
Bless you, Philly.

02:59:41.820 --> 02:59:42.340
All right.

02:59:42.420 --> 02:59:47.140
Back over playing Philly slash I Don't Want to Hear It by Minor Threat off the album.

02:59:47.980 --> 02:59:48.800
Undisputed Attitude.

02:59:48.930 --> 02:59:49.700
Thank you very much.

02:59:49.960 --> 02:59:51.060
Thanks for flying with Slayer.

02:59:53.760 --> 02:59:56.040
To your point, Will, I will work on my aggression.

02:59:56.680 --> 02:59:58.300
I will get aggressive with the mic.

02:59:59.180 --> 02:59:59.400
Yes.

02:59:59.890 --> 03:00:00.340
Get aggressive.

03:00:01.140 --> 03:00:01.840
Do what I do.

03:00:03.960 --> 03:00:04.920
You need sound effects with that.

03:00:06.580 --> 03:00:35.900
What the fuck happened tonight? Somebody coined a word for this evening. It's called Shit Show. It's Shit Show. Dumpster Fire. Dumpster Fire. That's another one. We'll put that up. We can call it Dumpster Fire Edition. The beauty of this episode is only going to be about 37 minutes long. It's the Grindcore episode. Literally. Did we say goodbye to the listeners?

03:00:36.600 --> 03:01:05.760
saying goodbye to each other now. No, we're still on. We're still on. We're live, man. Except we're not live. I can't say edit this out because that means you will not edit this out. I'm not going to edit this out. I think you should leave it all in. Yeah. It's all going in there, man. We're just on boom. Three hours. Let's just give that extra three more minutes. There are people like leaning under that stop button right now. They're just waiting to hear the Ashton Ward outro. Wrap it up. Come on, just play the song.

03:01:07.040 --> 03:01:36.560
Shut the fuck up! They're just waiting for that tick to go from like 37 listeners to 38 if they listen to that one more minute. All right. We're gonna call it a night. At least you went to the wild. You can go back to your lives. Fuck! I want to go to bed! Yep. So it is 1230 in the evening or sorry in the morning now. For East Coast, yeah. It's only 930 here. Let me ask you this. Does anything happen in the next

03:01:36.600 --> 03:02:06.420
Yeah, man. Yeah, I'm sleeping. No. I'm guessing that the Vegas probably thumped on Winnipeg. Oh, fuck. Personally, I'm rooting for Winnipeg because we have two listeners, friends of the podcast, Dan Klinger and Mr. Clausen, who are Winnipeg.

03:02:06.600 --> 03:02:36.560
I was rooting for him too because fuck Vegas but now Vegas won. Fawson that's a nice honest Canadian name it's literally up there they call it it's so cold they call it winter peg yeah yeah really do it's a snake name all right let's let's put this baby to bed yeah I need like a like an unplugged sound like or like maybe a record scratch sound but I like when you unplug an electric guitar but it's still on the amp's on yeah bad ground type

03:02:36.580 --> 03:03:05.280
negative. Just do a big fart. How's a little fart? I don't think it could end it any better. George, why don't you just flush the toilet and end this? Apocalyptic farts. Jesus. Okay. Okay. I'm really, really going to end it now. That's actually the best thing ever. The episode that we jumped the shark. Jumped the shark. And then got eaten by it.

03:03:06.920 --> 03:03:36.520
Who wants to be Fonzie? We can't say goodbye to each other. Yeah. Like literally, there's physically something blocking us from saying goodbye to each other. It's nice to talk to you guys. We should just really just like cut it off in mid... Honestly, George? Nope, we're not gone yet. Sopranos ending? Yeah. Alright, here, watch it. You guys want to get off real fast? Oh no. See you guys later. Take care. It's been nice talking to you. I almost thought he was really going to do it.

03:03:39.779 --> 03:04:02.020
I gotta keep the myth alive that it's big. It's a good thing I have my glasses on. These glasses are 1.5 magnification. I'm just saying that I was impressed. I don't know about anybody else. Alright, god damn it, god please. Can we end this nightmare? You just gotta go watch the A's and we gotta go to bed. Alright, see you later. Goodnight.

03:04:08.560 --> 03:04:09.880
GLEAS!

03:04:15.280 --> 03:04:22.060
Making the glow of the pale, white and moon

03:04:22.670 --> 03:04:31.340
The eyes shatter the world and drag me to be too weak
