00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.840
past seven days in the world of just sick music.
10
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.600
And my name is Parenheish with me across from me
11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.920
today doing this on what is a very special fidgeting
12
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.680
like it's it's goth Christmas over there is Sam Dignoll.
13
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.359
Sixteen years of her is about to end in a
14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.840
couple of hours. Just the happiest I've been in a while.
15
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.920
I can't believe it's it's finally here. AFI Day has arrived,
16
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.319
AFI Day one of three for me. I have long
17
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.799
suffering UKA five fans. Our time has come and I
18
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.040
cannot be more happy. I've got great stuff, like there's
19
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:29.959
loads of cose stuff talk about this week, but in
20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.920
a couple of hours I will be seeing Davy Havoc
21
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.640
and Co flying their first UK headline show in sixteen years.
22
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.079
Just oh, can't wait.
23
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.400
I know we've got an entire, like a full weekend
24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.560
of shows together coming up, and I have been looking
25
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.760
forward to the collective weekend, you know, all year, but
26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.560
your like London privilege is really on show because as
27
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.760
well as having that entire thing that we're doing together,
28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.400
you've got you've had like three extra things this week
29
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.400
on top of that, We're on top of what you
30
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.280
mentioned that is going to happen that you know, we
31
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.640
will talk about all of what that entails, you know,
32
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.680
soon enough, But you also had fucking loads of extra
33
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.919
shit on top of that. So I can't even enjoy
34
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.560
my weekend without being a little bit jealous of you.
35
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.120
You have to get that a little bit over.
36
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.000
Yeah, Noah, it's been a it's been a good, good
37
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.560
sort of a seven day run from like last Sunday
38
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.240
to this coming Sunday for me, is just going to
39
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.560
be one of those again, like when I had a
40
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.680
couple of weeks ago and I had the Metallica romance
41
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.479
Bring Me the horizonal happening at the same time. This
42
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.240
last some days, I had Jimmy World on Sunday, and
43
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.560
then on Tuesday, I saw Chelsea Will playing her first
44
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.879
show in almost a year, doing her like very intimate
45
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:43.159
ARC Tangent warm up show.
46
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.159
So I've had a real train.
47
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.319
I mean, I'll go into those shows, but yeah, like
48
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.879
that is like my warm up for then the big
49
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:49.759
shit happening.
50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.240
Over the next couple of days. It's been it's been
51
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:51.759
a good time.
52
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.319
I know, like this again this weekend coming up. As
53
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.080
excited I have been for it, I have lamented on
54
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.439
several occasions that I'm really sad to not be at
55
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.759
ARC Tangent right now, which has already started and is underway.
56
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.439
And so I've seen the you know, on social media
57
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.680
stuff from the Wednesday that's happened, like for example, Stoubard
58
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.680
playing their final show and officially bowing out, and all
59
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.680
the general stuff that's going on. And I think for me,
60
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.159
particularly the fact that there's a day where Chelsea Wolf
61
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.319
and Scorpion Milk are both playing on the exact same
62
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.319
day and I can't be there is genuinely gutting. And you,
63
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.919
for who is not are at Tangent for the same
64
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.960
reasons that I'm not our Tangent. You still manage to
65
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.439
get to see one of those since anyway.
66
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.360
Yeah, though very very lucky to at least get that
67
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.879
Chelsea Wolf show and I mean the game as we've
68
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.039
got one to. That was my first time seeing a
69
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.719
Chelsea Wolf show. I've seen her form blood Moon with Converge,
70
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.240
but actually seeing Chelsea Wolf forming her material that was
71
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:44.840
first time for me.
72
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.360
So that was great.
73
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.280
I will start with the big over thirties show that
74
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.280
was on Sunday. Yeah, like big day for like say
75
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.919
Punk's and Nemos in their thirties, Jimmy Well playing bleed
76
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.919
American in Fall bringing along Rise against some of the GA
77
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.199
up kids. Just a nice package for like I say,
78
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.360
Punks or like Punk's, Nemos, like millennial like that that's
79
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:10.319
all millennial.
80
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.439
Sort of crowd. It was. It was great.
81
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.120
You're trying so hard to not say elder Emo.
82
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.600
Well I would never used that term.
83
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.079
I just feel you like trying to find any words
84
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.240
apart from it's that.
85
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.800
Elder millennial punk like oh yes, yes, that's where'll go
86
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.560
older You're punk like it's that sort of ship. But yeah,
87
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.839
great time of that, like getting there, like going down
88
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.720
in time to watch the GA up kids. I've never
89
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.480
been like the biggest Gap kids. Fan I like someone
90
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.160
right about, but they were you know, the right warm
91
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.560
up for this sort of show. It was at the
92
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.480
Crystal Palace Bowl, which is actually really nice venue for
93
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.600
one of these sort of outdoor for these sort of
94
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.920
outdoor summer shows. It's like in a nice kind of
95
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.040
like contained atmosphere but still feels like a big outdoor show.
96
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:54.920
Very one of my favorite ones I've been to. Actually,
97
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.360
I do want to just give a shout to that.
98
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.040
But yeah, the Gap kids straight away you had, you know,
99
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.240
do in their late thirties being a teenager again dancing
100
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.920
around and singing to the Gallup kids and just sort
101
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.839
of like fully cutting loose, and it was kind of
102
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.639
like just the right vibes to walk into and that there,
103
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.959
you know, like a forty minute set, like obviously a
104
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.600
lot of something come home about, and the particular towards
105
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.279
the end of the set, well, those songs really came
106
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.720
to life and the crowd sort of really perked up.
107
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:20.639
But that was kind of like a.
108
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.120
Nice band of that era with Jimmy Worlder rightse against
109
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.920
when they come on, like Tim was actually saying, like
110
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.360
back in his like very first band that one of
111
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.720
the early shows they did was supporting Jimmy World and
112
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.800
the ga Up Kids at like some club in Chicago,
113
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.759
so like that was right against the band. I've kind
114
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.560
of they've had a bit of an iffy year. Will say,
115
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.000
like the album last year, we barely talked about it. It
116
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.560
was not good, and like it just kind of like
117
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.439
did you have them? But I will say, give them
118
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.399
fifty minutes on an outdoor stage at festival or something,
119
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.519
and they do that is still like them in their element,
120
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.720
like well they can just rip through, like those songs
121
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.600
off of Suffering, the witness and appeal to they're just
122
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.519
really something you haven't they They did release two brand
123
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.800
new songs like a couple of days befo this. They
124
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.040
didn't actually play either of them live, but like I
125
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:08.839
feel like they're they're kind of gearing up to get
126
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.519
into another cycle because like I said, that last album
127
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.639
just that they played one song off it at this
128
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.519
show I was at.
129
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.319
Production was horrible on the record. It just didn't sound
130
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.720
good like and it was just an if it's cycled.
131
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.639
For the majority of this set, they were you know,
132
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.279
just playing the hits and it was it was great,
133
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.680
very good main warm up for Jimmy World. Who were
134
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.959
the best I've ever seen them, a just unbelievable and
135
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.079
again like that, Yes, they were playing Bleed American in four, which, like,
136
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.879
as we've talked about four, one of my favorite albums
137
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.279
of all time.
138
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:37.959
I love that album.
139
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.279
I think it is perfect, but just in general, and
140
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.360
I don't know if it was everyone who was just
141
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.000
kind of excited about seeing Bleed American in fall, but
142
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.319
it felt like Jimmy World, you know you'll go to
143
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.160
me is gonna get You're gonna get a nice time
144
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.399
with Jimmy World. They're a nice band to go and
145
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.920
see live, to sing along with and just sort of
146
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.600
enjoy it. It's not always like the most exciting or
147
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.439
rowdy show or anything like that, but it kind of
148
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.040
it had a bit more spark to it than the
149
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.639
last few times I've seen them, and again they've been
150
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.519
bringing the last time them, but this actually felt like
151
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.800
genuinely like quite energized. And they did start the set
152
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.160
by him doing like a mini Clarity set before they
153
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.600
went to the American and like, so they come on,
154
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.759
they do Clarity, uran Asthetic Blisss and Lucky Denvermen, so
155
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.920
that they had like the majorit of the stage was
156
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.959
like sealed off. They had this like kind of wall
157
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.759
of like lights or things behind them, so they were
158
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.639
all at the front stage, drum kit and all like
159
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:27.160
it was a.
160
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.279
I was like, this is weird.
161
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.160
They ever band on these play so far has had
162
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.279
the entire stage and you're doing Jimmy Warld have come
163
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.160
on and they're using none of it and it's and
164
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.560
they literally did that for them for the Clarity sets,
165
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.199
so they could kind of like have a we're down
166
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.560
the front, this is what you know we were doing
167
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.720
before Bleed American. They finished like he dever, and then
168
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.199
like the lights all sort of peel back, and then
169
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.800
you've got big screens as they rip into the title
170
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.399
track of Bleed American, and he did just kind of
171
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.560
like shoot the energy up because like everyone loves those
172
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.959
Clarity songs, but they are, you know, they they're they're
173
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.040
a bit more reserved, a bit more intricate. When then
174
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.639
you're ripping into Bleed American, no mess with the order,
175
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.920
just playing the album start to finish, and you get
176
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.399
basically what is side of Bleed American, which is just
177
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.959
one of the best sides of music ever conceived, being
178
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.959
emo pop punk rock music just ever, it's perfect. I
179
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.920
won't hear anything else about it. Crowded, like jumping up
180
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.040
and down, and actually like most bits to Jimmy heat World,
181
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.920
which I haven't seen for a while, like it was
182
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.759
a real kind of firey thing. And then when you
183
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.160
get into they like they finish here you me and
184
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.079
obviously big emotions.
185
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.439
Because of a Cinderella story and everything.
186
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.759
Obviously a praise chorus is the best song ever as
187
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:32.960
we I guess have a swingtest.
188
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.200
Also the best song ever when.
189
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.399
They go to go like right one to side B
190
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.440
and this is where like again I've never seen I
191
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.320
think any of these kind of side b bleed American
192
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.559
songs life before. I know they've pulled some of them
193
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.080
out on occasions certain shows. I can't remember if I've
194
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.320
ever seen any of them. So when you're get into
195
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.200
if you don't, don't and like get it faster, like
196
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.120
those are so gonna get it fast. As another word,
197
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.240
the crowd properly kicked off, and even Jim was like,
198
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.360
it's the most we've ever had a crowd go off
199
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.960
for that song ever, Like that's a weird feeling, but yeah,
200
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.120
and then caution as being the kind of like b
201
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.120
side highlight for me that song. I don't know why
202
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.720
they don't play it more because that song is just
203
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.360
absolutely beautiful. They did with this in about an hour,
204
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.240
and it flew by because the album and the thing
205
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.840
is they still stopped talking to the crowd in throughout
206
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.440
the crowd, but it just was kind of like firing
207
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.279
out those hits again when they're playing the Middle, like
208
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.720
song six in the set, no song like seven in
209
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.159
the set list, And I kind of realize, like, of
210
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.080
all of the like mega mega naughties, pop punk, emo,
211
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.159
unavoidable like hits that are overplayed to shit, I would
212
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.720
you all of them off face of the earth and
213
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.759
keep the Middle. The Middle is the one I would
214
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.399
happy happy to hear again for the rest of my life.
215
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.039
But seeing it live, I was like, it's better than
216
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.360
Sugar Were Going Down and in two Deep, fat lest Yes,
217
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.120
like any of those ones, The Middle is just like
218
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.080
so far and away, the best of that kind of
219
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.039
song that the face down staples. You always hear that again,
220
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:58.879
you argue you never need to hear again. The Middle,
221
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.360
you do need to hear again because it is unbelievable.
222
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.600
For the on core set, they pull out some like
223
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.000
Bleed American era B sides and deep cuts, so they're
224
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.080
doing like disintegration, which I was like, that's such a
225
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.600
like wild Paul to sort of do for your encore
226
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.279
on this what is your biggest show ever? The London
227
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.360
is the biggest show, the biggest headline show Jimmy World
228
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.720
have ever played the album. I've done a lot of
229
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.720
these album for nostalgia shows this summer. It's been all
230
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.279
the rage because a a lot of my favorite albums
231
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.120
in terms out of turning twenty or twenty five or
232
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.519
ten years old, they're all kind of getting like two
233
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.039
thousand and one, two thousand and six, twenty sixteen, they're
234
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.679
all kind of like clearly landmark ears from my music taste,
235
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.120
and this is just one of the ones that just
236
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.039
felt so joyous and again like they didn't like it
237
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.159
wasn't like, you know, Michael Crooks, they reinvent the album
238
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.440
as this like amazing piece of theater. This was just
239
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.960
kind of like Bleed American. This album doesn't need to
240
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.200
be touched or changed. It is just one of the
241
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.279
most perfect thirty odd minutes of alternative rock, emo pop punk.
242
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.200
All of that just kind of served up to you
243
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.759
my favorite time I've ever seen them was fantastic. And
244
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.720
then on the flip side, a couple days later, I'm
245
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.000
going to the Dome, going to a nice little intimate
246
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.360
evening with Chelsea Wolf.
247
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.080
Yeah, for I suppose a little taste of Art Tangent
248
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.799
that we're getting on this show for the summer.
249
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.840
And again, like I absolutely got.
250
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.120
If we hadn't already booked, you know, some of the
251
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.879
stuff out this weekend, I probably would have been like,
252
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.799
I'm going to do Arch Tangent this year because that
253
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.720
lineup is superb. But getting see sort of the Chelsea
254
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.440
Wolf warm up show, she like decked out the Dome
255
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.240
with like coffins and like drapes and everything all around
256
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.759
skeleton like, so they clearly the bit of effort to
257
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.080
try and them dress up the venue and sort of
258
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.879
vamp it up. But yeah, I have never seen Chelsea
259
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.039
Wolf outside of Bloomy, so I was very excited. I
260
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.919
know that there wasn't like a support for this show.
261
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.000
They did like an album play through beforehand, which I said,
262
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.679
I was like the albumas out on Friday, I am god,
263
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.080
I wasn't going to like rush down to get to
264
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.600
the album play through, but I'm excited to sort of
265
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.600
hear what am is and she did for the setlist
266
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.960
focus quite a bit off it off the new album.
267
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.120
When she comes out and opens with iron Moon into
268
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.919
mer I was kind of like, right, okay, you're pulling
269
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.200
out some cut, so I wouldn't necessarily expect it, Like
270
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.399
the first half of the set was very focused on
271
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.039
she reaches out to She reached out to She however
272
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.440
many times that like that, that was like kind of
273
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.879
like the bulk of a lot of the first sort
274
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.559
of part of the set, but that opening one two
275
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.399
of Murrh and of Ironman and Merl was really cool.
276
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.000
Iron Moon is possibly my favorite Chelsea wolf song. And
277
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:31.960
I the last time I saw Chelsea Wolfs went on
278
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.519
the She that She which That's She tour, and she
279
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.720
basically played that entire album and then like, yeah, you
280
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.840
know one or two songs from other other you know,
281
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.120
from each other record, and I think, you know, we
282
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.279
have like carrying Flowers as the encore at that show,
283
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.720
but nothing else from Abyss and then so I wouldn't
284
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.000
have seen that song since around the time of the
285
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.799
Abyss touring cycle. And like when I saw the set
286
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.240
of sounds, like what do you Be open with Iron
287
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.279
Moon and then into the first performance of MRH like
288
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.519
an Apocalypsis song for the first time in ten years.
289
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.759
Like that is fucking cool. It's not just an album
290
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.320
launch show for you know it's upcoming one.
291
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.000
No, it was.
292
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.519
It was a like because obviously this is a warm
293
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.600
up for arctand as well. So I'm I'm assuming the
294
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.080
set list to get it is probably very similar to
295
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.759
what she's playing arc Tangent to Night as we recorded
296
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.320
you on the I.
297
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.519
I think it's it's yesterday. It goes out that, it.
298
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.279
Goes out, yeah, so but yeah, like I'm and like
299
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.159
the Dome obviously it's a small venue, it's not one
300
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:23.960
that you're gonna be able to do much of a show.
301
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.120
But just the sort of the smoke and the lighting.
302
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.320
They had this like kind of like sheer curtain at
303
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.639
the back of like a circular mirror behind it, which
304
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.559
is the really cool reflections and sort ripple effects behind her,
305
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:39.240
and it just created this like really strong atmosphere, heavy
306
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.240
and oppressive in the sounds, where again with the bit
307
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.960
of the Simpson guitars were they're all like the end
308
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.200
of like whistle, the echo all kind of like comes
309
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:51.639
crashing in was like apocalyptically heavy, the Liminal like just
310
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:52.799
absolutely beautiful.
311
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.759
Was she still doing the Liminal acoustically?
312
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.679
No, No, that that was full band there was.
313
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.399
For that, but that song because there was such a
314
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.000
like delicacy to it and her vocal It is like
315
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.639
like she is just transfixing as a presence on stage,
316
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.120
Like her band are great, but you do just kind
317
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.360
of you are just drawn to the area as she
318
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.240
has I just doesn't even have to do much, but
319
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.600
she just brings a sort of class and presence to
320
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.360
her performance that you are just kind of like hanging
321
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.440
off her. And so once she saw reached into the
322
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.840
first half the set, which kind of climaxes with dusk
323
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.480
off of she Is Actually, which is like a really good,
324
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:34.799
like mid set climax. We then got the live debut
325
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.679
of the new song Seve, which came out I think
326
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.960
on the day of the Giggle like the day before, Yeah,
327
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.759
this week and this is I was like, this is
328
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.799
a different song for Chelsea Wolf, like particularly live. It's
329
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.120
a rocker like in a way that she hasn't like
330
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:54.000
really done, like like this is like a dancy golf
331
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.840
banger from Chelsea Wolf, and I was kind of like,
332
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.600
what is this new album going to be? It's called
333
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:00.960
The Dark. I was kind of expecting, you know, more atmosphere.
334
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.279
But we've had this like variety of songs where we've
335
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.639
had these kind of like really folky acoustic tracks. We've
336
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.200
now had this dance golf banger. It's a really interesting
337
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.759
to flavored. For one song it was, it was the
338
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.080
Tars of the Dark. She did get all the like
339
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:14.799
she was. That's the one that they'd had out these
340
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.240
like led candles to all the audience to sort of
341
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.360
hold up and sort of have this like sea of
342
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.360
candles visual, which was a fun bit and it worked
343
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.759
for the more kind of like folky acoustic songs she
344
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.960
was doing. Ending on sixteen Psycle, which probably is my
345
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.559
favorite Chelsea Wolf song, Like his Span is my Chelsea
346
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.240
Wolf album.
347
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.679
That was such a sick way to end the set,
348
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.440
and it's kind of like.
349
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.840
Closing on again just sort of like showing the depfinite
350
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.000
variety of what Chelsea was Like. I think like she's
351
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.200
always had that variety, but like there's kind of explains
352
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.240
of like dark music that that's what she does, but
353
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.600
there's different flavors to how she does it through like
354
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.600
acoustic stuff force, like purely metal stuff, purely sort of
355
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.960
electronic ambient stuff, like really just great stuff. Cool to see,
356
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.360
like I say, a proper will set, intimate setting kind
357
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.240
of her live return while so she was kind of
358
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.879
like ready to be back on stage and performing, and
359
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.039
I think like, if you're seeing anyone' seing the attention,
360
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.600
it's just going to get absolutely true souse imagine I
361
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.679
say it will be this with maybe a little bit
362
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.000
more going on. I don't know what they can bring
363
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.480
in terms of the setup for Art Tangent.
364
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.759
I'm never too sure on that one.
365
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.679
But yeah, one of the best alternative artists we have
366
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.120
that we have. We've sung shows with praises for years
367
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.159
because she is just one of the very best. And
368
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.600
it was just Corset live and just very much cementing
369
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.720
why why we hold her in that regard.
370
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.440
Yeah, she's only ever been wonderful when I've seen her.
371
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.159
And I do hope that, you know, now the album
372
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.039
is out this week and obviously Art Tangent happening as well.
373
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.639
I do hope that we get you know, like a
374
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.279
UK tour tour or something off off the back of
375
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.480
the album into next year or something. But that is
376
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.639
is you know, hopeful news for the future. Right now,
377
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:48.399
we're gonna go into the news that has happened over
378
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.320
this past week, and we're gonna start with, I guess,
379
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.559
you know, mopping up some of the negativity that has
380
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.399
been lingering for a couple of weeks. First of all,
381
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.879
there is the Slipknot Sid will Soon news, which you
382
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.640
know that basically everyone knew that Sid Wilson was out
383
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.279
of the band like a couple of weeks ago because
384
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.279
of the very strange, unceremonious, bizarrely leaked fashion in which
385
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.079
that went out. And I assumed, when you know, you
386
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.680
can go back to a couple of weeks ago to
387
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.400
when myself and Mark were talking about this for our
388
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.319
you know, more extended thoughts about you know, what this
389
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.440
means for the band or whatever. But I assumed when
390
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.279
that happened, we'd we'd probably get you know, proper confirmation
391
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.680
within a couple of days or something by the end
392
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.559
of the week. And instead, no, it's like two weeks
393
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.799
later that Slipknot finally went to you know, social media
394
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.839
and made an official post saying very you know, briefly,
395
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.960
not much of the statement at all. It's like two
396
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.759
sentences sid Wilson is out of the band, and then
397
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.480
really fucking bizarrely, within about an hour they deleted the post,
398
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.720
which does that mean that he is in the bad
399
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.559
which clearly that's not true, but what a bizarre way
400
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.680
of a guy about it, Like you would think. The
401
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.599
thing that amazes me about all of this is like
402
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.319
such a you know, enormous like you know, industrial machine, right,
403
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.160
the entire stlipnot you know again operation, the operation that's
404
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.559
a great word for it, that that you know, rolls on. Genuinely,
405
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.160
the most chaotic, unpredictable thing about the band these days
406
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.240
is like the way that they, I don't know, go
407
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.720
about handling that you know machine, which is normally for
408
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:18.519
bands of their size, so kind of like you know,
409
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.359
clinical in the pocket, really bizarre. Like I said, you
410
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.519
can go back to a couple of weeks ago and
411
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.000
myself and Mark talking about the actual you know, the
412
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.680
news of what this maybe means for the band and
413
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.319
what we think about it, et cetera, but just confirmation
414
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.240
of what we essentially already knew. But even the confirmation
415
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.880
itself was strange and odd. So it was a whole
416
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:37.440
I don't.
417
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.839
Believe what you read in the press kind of like
418
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.720
sort of illusions and members and then comes out, yeah
419
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:44.599
no he's out, so maybe do believe what you read like.
420
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.440
But then Jim, I think he said that he didn't
421
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:52.000
actually entirely know when he made that post. So no idea, No,
422
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.359
no one knows who is no one knows who is
423
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.759
there you go yeah again, conclusion still very strange inclusion,
424
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.720
but inclusion of newsram a couple of weeks ago, more
425
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.680
recent news that has only broken the last twenty four
426
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.400
hours or so. It's some really sad news coming out
427
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.839
of the zzy Top camp that Frank Beard, the legendary
428
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:17.839
longtime drummer, one of the you know classic zz Top
429
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.799
power trio, the second sadly to pass away after Bassis
430
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.000
Dusty Hill a few years ago. Frank Beard the drummer
431
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.920
has now joined him and is no longer with us. Also,
432
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:32.279
and Sam, have you ever have I bullied you into
433
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:34.160
getting into zz Top yet? The way I have several
434
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:36.200
other classic rock bands.
435
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.640
The thing is, I've always quite liked to have I've
436
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.440
never heard of zz tops on. I don't like, I've
437
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.960
never gone deep on Zazy Top, But everything I've heard
438
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.720
by them, I've always been like, yeah, that's a banger,
439
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.119
Like they're one of those bands again. Yeah, I'm sure
440
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.960
there'll be some stuff. I probably will be less keen on,
441
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.519
but I know a lot of the hits and like
442
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.000
they are classic tunes.
443
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.720
No one's going to presend otherwise.
444
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:56.920
And you know, just these Top they just seem like
445
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.960
a cool band and does big beards and sunglasses.
446
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.319
Yeah, although always think incredibly people would know Frank Beard
447
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:04.960
was the only member of Easy Top who did not
448
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.920
have a long beard, because you know, I guess he
449
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.279
had enough beard already in name to not need it.
450
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.400
But it's Easy Top, like you know, for a period
451
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.640
of like you know, the early seventies through to like
452
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.440
the mid eighties, they were just one of the sickest
453
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.400
bands in the world. And definitely, like you know, it
454
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.160
was Easy Top album Club or something that has been
455
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.079
long I was going to say I was on the car.
456
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.559
One of those if it would be would be cool
457
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.839
to do because again I have I like everything, I've
458
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.799
just never done the deep dive into Yeah, I'm not
459
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.279
primitive for some of those seventies bands anymore, but.
460
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.599
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, summer is kind of
461
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.880
ending now and that's definitely a summer album club pick.
462
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.200
But you know it will definitely happen eventually because that
463
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:45.240
whole string of records from that time is, you know,
464
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.720
in many different ways fabulous, but like I said, the
465
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.400
classic power trio lineup where they are one of the
466
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.599
all time. You know, when you think of the three
467
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.319
piece rock bands in history, you think about Motorhead, you
468
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.680
think about Nirvana, you think about as Ezy Top right
469
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.799
like there, yeah, it's the Treysmbres, right like, that's the classic,
470
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.559
that's that's the three of them. And I mean I've
471
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.480
never seen zz Top. I know that they were a
472
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.000
reliable festival site for so many years, and you know,
473
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.839
unfortunately now with obviously Dusty having gone before this as well,
474
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.640
it does feel like the you know, the opportunity to
475
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.920
see the zz top has has gone. You know, they do,
476
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.559
they are still touring with you know, you know, billion
477
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.160
other people and that. But for his role again in
478
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.039
that kind of incredible period, and when you think about
479
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:30.680
zz Top, you think about that shuffling groove right which
480
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:33.480
you know, that rhythm section of Frank and Dusty together
481
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.960
was just so so powerful. I mean, I will always
482
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.799
use this opportunity and it feelsarticularly put in this time
483
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:40.880
to shout out one of my favorite videos in all
484
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.000
of rock music, which is you can go on YouTube
485
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.400
and you can search zz top Lagrange Live nineteen eighty
486
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.119
two and the mid section of that song, the kind
487
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.359
of breakdown part when Billy and Dusty just go for
488
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.000
a walk together around the stage and then Frank brings
489
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.839
them in with a fill and they do this incredible
490
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.599
like rolling on motion together before. It's one of the
491
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.759
the most amount of swag a band has ever had. Essentially,
492
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.480
it's absolutely incredible. Everyone should definitely go and see it.
493
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.039
And I think also, like again the amount of bands
494
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.200
who have taken influence from from zz Top. A tribute
495
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.559
came up, you know, on my social media feed earlier
496
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.880
from it, I think a particularly pertinent band in corrosional
497
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.759
conformity who you can imagine. Of course, zz Top absolutely
498
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:25.480
one of the bands they worship at the Altar out
499
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:27.480
and they put a quite lengthy thing just about how
500
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.400
important ZZ Top word for them, but it contained the sentence,
501
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.039
if you're on the top when grilling and chilling, you
502
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.640
all are doing it fucking wrong. Which is absolutely I
503
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:39.400
think you know a quote in the T and M image,
504
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.279
so yeah, absolutely, Rest and peace to Frank Beard, one
505
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.920
of the greats of you know, that incredible era of
506
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.680
rock music and one of its great bands. And then
507
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.960
I guess another can you know, A confirmation of a
508
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.799
story that has been hanging around in the air for
509
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.000
a while is oz Fest has been confirmed to return
510
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.119
to Villa Park in Birmingham, where of course the back
511
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.519
to the Beginning show and that will be apparently returning
512
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.000
in twenty twenty seven. And I think in the light
513
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.839
of everything that's gone on, anything other than an ai
514
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:11.880
Ossie Osborne headlining this festival will be an absolute win
515
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:16.000
that we could celebrate. So that is our only hope,
516
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.119
I would say, go in for the future. Next we
517
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:23.119
move into it's the post summer album announcement gluts, where
518
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.240
all of the albums that we could have done with
519
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.519
filling the review slots in the last couple of months
520
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.480
all come out at a time where we can't do
521
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.759
the ball anymore. But let us fly through the new
522
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.920
music and the new albums that have been announced. Firstly,
523
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.759
Queens Are Stone Age have announced that they have got
524
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.680
their new album which has a really bad title. It's perfect,
525
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.160
like perfect with an H on the end. Sure, okay,
526
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:48.759
but that's coming out pretty soon actually just bit every month.
527
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.640
It's coming out on September the thirtieth, supposedly that's the
528
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.279
date that they put out in the little teaser video,
529
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.480
even though that is not I think a traditional Friday
530
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.119
when you know, everyone else's albums are coming out. But
531
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.799
new Queens of Stone album coming next month. We did
532
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.960
get that single a while ago, and again I wonder,
533
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:07.279
we haven't got anything official, like a track this or
534
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.680
anything on this zam yet. I wonder if this is
535
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.880
going to be that kind of sort of you know,
536
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.480
post Catacombs tour they've been doing sort of strange offbeat album.
537
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.880
I would be surprised if it ended up being a
538
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.759
you know, a more conventional rock as we know it
539
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.000
Queens of Stone age album could well, we don't know yet,
540
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:25.720
but that's sort of what I'm thinking at the moment.
541
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.319
That's coming out, As I said, September the thirtieth. Then
542
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.400
we are going to move on to hey Wire, one
543
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:35.160
of the buzziest punkin hardcore bands in the world right now.
544
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.720
They had quite a busy week because they played Sound
545
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.319
and Fury, which has also gone on this past week,
546
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.799
and a lot of this news are sort of spilling
547
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.680
and spilling out of that. Heywire have announced that they
548
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.480
have signed to road Runner Records, which just on a
549
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.720
side note, there was a point a few years ago
550
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:51.960
when every band was on roadrunn near enough jump Ship,
551
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.720
and we almost didn't know from him if Roadrunner continued
552
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.519
to exist in the form that it does, so I
553
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:58.519
guess it's nice to see bands like those signing to
554
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:02.720
Roadrunner again. Yeah, but they have announced that they are
555
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.680
going to be making their road Runner our debut, which
556
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.240
is called I Don't Want to Say Goodbye, which is
557
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:09.799
coming out later in the year, and there is a
558
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.559
song from it out called Interstate Love Affair. The video
559
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:17.960
for it features were starts off with a clip from
560
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.119
their Sound and Fury set this past week, when I
561
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:25.119
guess as just part of a ridiculous campaign of like
562
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.720
playing up their signing to a bigger label, they just
563
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.319
appeared and launched five thousand dollars of cash into the
564
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.039
crowd because okay, flaunt it. I guess weird, weird moved,
565
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.759
but sure.
566
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.119
Like I think it kind of ties into their kind
567
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.480
of like rebellious, like we do what we want sort
568
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.039
of spirit non just because again like he's we've sold
569
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.359
out to the man six bigger record deal. We don't
570
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:49.039
We're not going to play anymore hardcore shows. He was
571
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.160
going to like playing up all that before it, and
572
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.880
then like a fuck, it's now his five thousand dollars
573
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.359
and they just like say right into the crowd, so
574
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.039
like they've taken part of their money from the record
575
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:02.200
label once, we're giving it literally directly to the fans
576
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.480
who are down the front wash into us.
577
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.079
I think that's I mean, that's pretty fun.
578
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.599
I mean yeah, but this this Haywire record, you imagine
579
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.000
it's going to be a big album in the sense
580
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:12.799
that like the last Haywire album was you know, popular
581
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.640
and well liked, but it did feel like it came
582
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.519
out and then they really built the reputation and kind
583
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.359
of you know, they've become a really big band, like
584
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.200
a couple of years down the line from that record,
585
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:24.119
from off the back.
586
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.160
Of the EPs that followed.
587
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.920
Yeah, again just taking it everywhere and building a live
588
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.839
reputation for themselves. So this album is like the one
589
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.039
that actually you know anticipated you know what I mean.
590
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.920
Yeah, you know this is this is the first Haywire
591
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.119
released with some actual like real build physicause again like
592
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.920
the Down twenty twenty four the Day album like that's
593
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.960
sort of came out and I said, I got into
594
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.680
after that and was out and sort of saw them
595
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.599
on the lives of the first UK to what they
596
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.240
were doing and again you know that build a swell
597
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.880
of just these crazy live shows then the couple like
598
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.519
EPs they put out afterwards.
599
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.160
Like they've had a string of releases, they haven't.
600
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.519
Been a quiet band in the bud up to this
601
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.480
sort of album, but it's where the momentum is built
602
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:07.920
and it has now positioned them as again they were
603
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.920
headlining Sound of Fury, they weren't just like playing it.
604
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.960
They were the final band of the festival, like they
605
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.799
That's the sort of position they like land themselves in
606
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:20.279
and like, for me, the interesting thing here is now
607
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.799
is like are we about to see the new biggest
608
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.440
band in hardcore be an OI band? Like It's it's
609
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:28.160
a really kind of instant thing of where the genre
610
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.680
is going on. What Haywires sort of success is gonna
611
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.359
mean to hardcore large in hardcore, we've been kind of
612
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.680
going through years of beat down sort of ruling the
613
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.279
roost again and outside of Turnstile, essentially, it's been the
614
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.920
post not loose beatdown bands. It's been that whole wave
615
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:46.839
and it's I like all that shit, but it's gone
616
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:48.920
on for too long and I think we need a
617
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.039
change in the sort of vibe and I think Haywire
618
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:54.319
lean that charge and bringing punk and OI back into hardcore.
619
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:56.279
And again, I don't know if they're they're the best
620
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:57.319
band doing the OI thing right now.
621
00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:59.440
There's a lot of really cool bands, as we've kind
622
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.839
of talk about on the podcast, but them kind of
623
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.079
shoving it into hardre fans faces and kind of like
624
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.279
opening that door. I think it's going to be a
625
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.720
really cool thing for the genre at large, and it could,
626
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:13.079
hey you, I could genuinely see again becoming a major,
627
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.160
massive crossover band if they can, if they can turn
628
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.319
that OI punk's of thing with the live show into
629
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.759
like the absent bigits. I think, you know, in the
630
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.599
in State Love song, it's not my favorite Haywa song.
631
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:27.400
I think it's a good kind of catchy punks women.
632
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.720
It's not their best, but if that's kind of what
633
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.319
they're persons are, they sing like Yeah, cool, we're moving
634
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:34.400
into them really delivering on these kind of like rousing
635
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:38.039
punk anthems, and that that that just me feels like
636
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.839
this could be a like another genuine crossover moment that
637
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.200
sort of brings punk back into hardcore and then it
638
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.400
takes hardcore into wider spaces, and for me, I think
639
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.200
that's that's exciting for the genre that has been great
640
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:52.079
but has also just I think, like I say, beat
641
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.680
down has been the sort of the dominant force for
642
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.039
too long.
643
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.359
Yeah, well, this song has more of a sort of
644
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.400
a pop punk edge to it to the then the
645
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.279
in the again the video, they're like driving a van
646
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.720
around and it's got a like hey Wire Blink wanity
647
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.240
to take off your pants and jacket kind of logo rip,
648
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:11.680
like of that Blink logo from the album, like on
649
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.960
the side of the van they're driving around and you
650
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:17.119
hear it and you go like, yeah, this would be
651
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.119
quite an accessible song if it just wasn't the fact
652
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:21.359
that the bloke was literally just shouting the entire way
653
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.119
rather than you know, singing with any conventional melody, which
654
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:27.440
is what keeps it very hardcore and it doesn't feel like,
655
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:30.200
you know, a sellout swing into a pop punk type
656
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:31.720
you know dress. It just kind of has that thing.
657
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.519
And even with the the video with it as well,
658
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:39.559
this feels like such a like early naughties skater song
659
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.480
exactly a video like, but even the song itself has
660
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:46.759
that skate punk feel where the song and the video
661
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.640
feels like a love letter to that kind of era
662
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.359
of skate culture that birth you know, sings like Jackass
663
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.559
and all of it again, that kind of era of
664
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.839
MTV and everything. But also at the same time obviously
665
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:58.960
birthloads of you know, music and bands it in that
666
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:01.440
kind of vein, and I think you know, people who
667
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.640
maybe missed that or you know, have some kind of
668
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.160
you know interest in that, whether they were you know,
669
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.240
around for that time or not or whatever. I could
670
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.519
certainly say this song you know, appealing to you know,
671
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.279
that kind of fan, I suppose. And yeah, like we said,
672
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:17.799
definitely an album with a lot of potential to you know,
673
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.279
have a big effect on you know, where hey whire
674
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:22.839
sit in our world, which has just been kind of
675
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.440
up and up and up over the last you know,
676
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:27.400
twenty four months or so. And then guess, while we
677
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.680
are still in the world of hardcore and specifical talking
678
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.279
about again the sound of Fury News. As well, we
679
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:35.920
have the return of God's Hate, who released an album
680
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.559
called Guards Hate in twenty twenty one. We reviewed it.
681
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.079
It's a fantastic record. Feels like we said, the's a couplicasions.
682
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:43.440
It feels like that is one of the records of
683
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.480
like the twenties that has kind of solidified itself as
684
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.000
been like not just a flavor of the month thing
685
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.559
that people you know, rave about and then completely forget about,
686
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:53.880
but someone that actually stayed in the collective conversation and
687
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:58.799
rotation and bred several like you know, beloved live standards
688
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:01.599
and all that kind of thing. And God's Hate off
689
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.680
the back of that album felt like they were really
690
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.799
like they never went away, like they were always around
691
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.319
for like three or four years or something after that
692
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:12.319
record came out. Then last year they said we're going
693
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.640
on hiatus, and then basically a year later, we're back
694
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.599
at it. And I don't say that in any negative
695
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.400
sense at all. I think they clearly needed it in
696
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:21.000
terms of you know, coming back and doing something like this.
697
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.279
But it just, again, it's mad, how it feels like
698
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:25.640
there is you know, there's five years basically between God's
699
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.160
Hate releases. I was five years between that record and
700
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:30.319
the one before it as well, But it does feel
701
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.799
like God's Hate never went away in terms of people
702
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.559
talking about them. Like we've been talking about God's Hate
703
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.279
as like one of the you know, essential contemporary hardcore
704
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.400
bands for the entire time since they released that record,
705
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:43.960
and then after not very long at all, we have
706
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.039
more music in the form of an EP that they
707
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.799
have just dropped this week, which is called Won't Be Disgraced,
708
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.319
which is three songs, two written songs on the cover,
709
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.559
and we'll talk about the contents of it in a second.
710
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.519
But yeah, like I said, even though they haven't like
711
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.279
literally released music the whole time compared to Haywever, Yeah,
712
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.720
still very much in the conversation.
713
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.599
Like I said, like the whole Highest thing I think
714
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:06.759
that kind of got will back is like we're taking
715
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:09.359
some time off. We're not like break up higher and
716
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.039
we will be back. And I think it was clear
717
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:13.759
like let's take a year off of just no activity.
718
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:16.279
I mean again, a lot of members of God's Hate,
719
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:20.000
they're very busy people. Even outside of God's Hate here
720
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.599
are age thing. Obviously, Colin has hard lot twitching Tongues,
721
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.240
Holy Blade, every other band, brody King I see on
722
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:29.720
my tea on like I watch them like wrestling every week. Basically,
723
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:33.200
he is like, like they are a president. They're always
724
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:35.400
doing shit. So I think actually taking a time off,
725
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.920
putting God's Hate on the shelf for a year so
726
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.400
they can focus on their various other projects probably seem
727
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:44.119
like a sort of a healthy thing for them to do.
728
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.799
And sort of I guess, given a bit of a
729
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.880
brief and Gods who were again like normalising albums but
730
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.039
constantly on the touring cycle. Not over here much, but
731
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.880
like at least I've got that that show from them
732
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:56.880
last year, but like, yeah there was printed, So it's
733
00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.480
nice to have let them have a bit of a
734
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.000
brother and then come back and it feels like they
735
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:04.119
none of the kind of excitement around them has diminished.
736
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:05.640
Like again, you saw that if you look at the
737
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:09.039
videos of their kind of sound and Fury Units, which
738
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.039
that happened during the Secret Twitching Tongues at the same
739
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.640
time Pole Place just went fucking meant for them. They
740
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.920
are again like in that sort of scene now, God say,
741
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:21.079
are like and I like the hero band status of
742
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:23.480
like properly legends and that sort of thing, and that's
743
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:25.880
that's just cool tea. And yeah, new EP a nice
744
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.400
sort thing to really with them coming back, have some
745
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.720
new music to immediately kind of sink into for sure.
746
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:33.400
Yeah, I mean I would I would love twitching tongues
747
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.440
to do the same anyway. God's say EP won't be disgraced.
748
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.200
I love the fact that it's got the because gods
749
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.759
are they are very hard obviously a very serious band,
750
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.880
but they also there is a fun factor that comes
751
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.680
with kind of the hardness of them, you know what
752
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:50.119
I mean with yes, just like playing up the boisterousness
753
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.960
of it with your physically larger than life.
754
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.079
They are a larger in life band, which.
755
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:55.359
Comes with the wrestling and all that kind of stuff
756
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:57.440
as well. And you've got elements of that in this
757
00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.759
with the fact that they've got basically their catch phrases
758
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.039
like God's Hate won't be disgraced, like, you know, fitting
759
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:04.000
in that rhyme, working that album that A.
760
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:05.799
One a stuff they will just shout out every time.
761
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.039
And then yeah, like there hard what area codes like.
762
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.000
Yeah, you know, there's the references to their own kind
763
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.880
of mythology evolving with like the job is only finished
764
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:16.559
when we pull each other through, so like, you know,
765
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:19.559
taking previous lyrics and titles and stuff and catphrases, but
766
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.079
adding new meaning onto them, which I think again is
767
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:23.760
you know, meaningful when they look at what they're doing
768
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.480
that with what they're doing with that on a song
769
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:31.000
like this. But I will say these tracks are you know,
770
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:33.360
I thought the twenty twenty one album was was great.
771
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:37.599
These are more complex that I remember, and Gods are
772
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.400
not a for as much as they are like a
773
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.840
really bruising band, they were not a overly simple band.
774
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.559
Like probably my favorite bit of God's tape music is
775
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:47.199
in I can't remember what the name of the song is,
776
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.280
but it's on one of the songs on the last album.
777
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:53.519
There's an amazing like multi part colin harmony, which is.
778
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.360
Like, yes, exactly, yeah, that.
779
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.039
Exact bit, and he said that he's based it on
780
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.679
like ICs ort demo bor get harmony parts, and I'm like,
781
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:03.760
that's fucking awesome putting that in a so like there
782
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:05.320
is you know, there's definitely a lot of work that
783
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.880
goes into conte music, but these feel like particularly I
784
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.519
don't know, almost Muso for God Hate Standard, where like
785
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.719
the first track on this has like multiple time changes
786
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:16.360
over the first minute and a half of the song
787
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.840
where I'm like, who do you think you are? Black
788
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:21.119
Breath Circle twenty fifteen, Like there's a lot of you know,
789
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:25.119
flowing timings around over the course of it. It's a
790
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.599
really intricate dance of like through these different thuggiest riffs.
791
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:30.039
And then I am the cure of the second song,
792
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.679
which is just total straight edge Anthem has this crazy
793
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.239
timing part in it on the drums that sounds like
794
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.599
a riff that like Troy Eraser improved with Sugar would do.
795
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.320
Like these are like satisfying sort of puzzle box marsh songs,
796
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:45.039
you know what I mean.
797
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.400
So this is the thing I said just now, like
798
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.679
about the sort of the beat down over so saturation
799
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.199
in hardcore and like god Sake, like largely I think
800
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:55.639
fit into like sort of the beatous just fit that,
801
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:57.800
like those sort of bruising moss parts were the kind
802
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.679
of like most iconic things on there. But what they've
803
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:03.639
done here is they've always had a little bit more
804
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:05.400
going on with that, and here they've kind of like
805
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:07.920
expand that before by like clear drawing influence from like
806
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.679
other areas of metal. Bit kind of like more progressive things,
807
00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:13.760
frash like kind of a lot of kind of just
808
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.480
like nineties metal I think is kind of like fed
809
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.599
through this into these kind of just like bruising burly
810
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.079
like beat down MOS songs, but it just makes them
811
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:25.079
so much more dynamic and interesting where they again like
812
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:27.559
the won't be discressed, like the intro to that goes
813
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.159
on and you still get the the Gods Hate eight
814
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:31.519
eight sort of shout a on part and part of
815
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.400
that intro, but it's still like a fairly kind of
816
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.679
like broad and complex instructory passes before you actually get
817
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.360
to this kind of like the meat of the song.
818
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.199
And like for a free track EP and again only
819
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.599
two the song's original. It feels that there's kind of
820
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.880
clearly been a lot of work poured into this EP
821
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:49.679
and making these songs not feel just kind of.
822
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.280
Like a.
823
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.159
Sort of like throwaway stopgat release or something to fill
824
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:54.599
the tapes of the album. This is this feels like
825
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:57.599
important God's Hate release that is kind of going to
826
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.320
be placed alongside the last album. I mean again, I
827
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.159
love the artwork them sort of continuing on just the
828
00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:06.639
cool ass like Samurai with machine guns kind of thing
829
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:08.599
they had done on the last one, but like bring
830
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.639
that back but looking even more like metal and hard.
831
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.119
It feels again this this just feels like it's a
832
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.960
significant god take release, which you wouldn't always kind of
833
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:21.599
associate for a free track EP from that that sort.
834
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:22.679
Of vein of beatdown band.
835
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.039
Yeah, but these two songs have more like you know,
836
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.800
tempo changes and more you know, dynamic parts and everything
837
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:34.880
than some entire hardcore albums that we have reviewed this year,
838
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.679
you know what I mean. And I just think this
839
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:38.960
is a good lesson of like, if this is what
840
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:43.840
a band can do with a short form release, you again,
841
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.519
this mosh you know, beat down hard or whatever. It
842
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.679
doesn't have to just be like knuckle dragging, boring, predictable
843
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:52.639
parts over and over again. There is like you can
844
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:54.320
be the hardest thing in the world, but you can
845
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:56.199
have like a science to it, you know. And I
846
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:59.360
think that these two songs are really you know, laudable
847
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.360
in that regard and definitely put on an example for
848
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:02.800
other bands of what they, you know, the kind of
849
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.920
ambition they should be trying to reach, even if their
850
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.800
only ambition is to be extremely fucking heart in that regard.
851
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.320
So that's really, really cool. The third track on the
852
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.239
EP is a harms Way cover. It is the song
853
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.960
Reality Approaches, which is a really old harms Way song,
854
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.599
but this is very sorry. Yes it's from the album
855
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:27.079
Reality Approaches. Yeah, from that album Warriors Will Rain. And
856
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.719
this is obviously I think it's no small part of
857
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.719
the reason why this EP has been made and come
858
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.119
up when it is, which is very clearly a tribute
859
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.199
to to Boludas from from harms Way, who was of
860
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.039
course Collins, you know, co host on the Hardware podcast.
861
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:45.000
And yeah, it's a really beautiful tribute I think in
862
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.000
terms of not just covering the song obviously, the way
863
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:48.760
they arrange the song, the way they do the way
864
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:50.480
they arrange the song with you know, I know there
865
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.599
are several harms Way members who are like on you know,
866
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.360
backing vocals and stuff like that. You know, it's hidden
867
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.159
the way in the you know, the the layers of
868
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.199
this particular you know, recording of this. But then the
869
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.840
most you know obvious novert part is towards the back
870
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.679
end of the song where over the kind of breakdown
871
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.920
outro essentially you know, they layer In an interview quote
872
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:11.400
from one of the Harder episodes with with Bo just
873
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.559
speaking about you know, his his upbringing and then how
874
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.000
he would like to be remembered and all this kind
875
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.840
of stuff. And that again, like it following in the
876
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.000
way it does over the sort of outro of it
877
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.880
is a really I think it's a very powerful you know,
878
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:28.039
conclusion to that EP, where again, like you know, we're saying,
879
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:32.079
this is a a release of purpose, right It's not
880
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:33.800
just throw out an EP because we can throw out
881
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:35.880
an EP because we want to have some new music
882
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.880
to play or something like if there is a real
883
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.400
emotional reason for this EP to exist when it does
884
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:43.719
right now. And again, the two original songs are great
885
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.920
on it, but the the cover on the you know,
886
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.280
the end of it does not feel like a hey,
887
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:51.719
let's do a cover just because it's very much tied
888
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:53.000
with what's going on with the EP.
889
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:54.280
I think that is it as well.
890
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.119
It's again like when when we see some hard Times
891
00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:59.280
two of the cover that that can feel a little
892
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.239
bit just kind of like this is get something out
893
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.239
there to fill the time. This is so purposeful that
894
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.360
that cover, I mean song what was raining great song
895
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:09.480
Fucking the hard Ands Whay at that period were like
896
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:11.559
such a hard band like they always were, but like,
897
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:14.360
I do really love that album and this is one
898
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.039
of the core songs in it. And when you do
899
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:18.000
that and it's and you're having like all the members
900
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.960
involved and just kind of having that gang unity kind
901
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:24.039
of like that family unit of like when you saw
902
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:25.760
when both passing, you sort of like that the whole
903
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:27.320
hard core scene sort of coming together and all the
904
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:29.800
tributes and all that. It felt like, you know, like
905
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.360
a real loss of a fanie with all of those
906
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:33.840
people and this kind of like being almost like a
907
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.760
kind of a final sort of farewell team with then
908
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.280
that again that hard episode, which was an episode that
909
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.760
was recorded but released after he passed, So that quote
910
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.159
in the episode was kind of like always a really
911
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.639
quite hard insistent. So when you then feed that through
912
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.239
his friends covering his music with one of his sort
913
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:54.719
of final sort of breakdown most parts with that echoing
914
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:57.280
out over it, it is a really sort of powerful,
915
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.639
poignant way to close out this EP. And I imagine
916
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.559
again like for a lot of people who were like
917
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:04.920
in the house and it's going to be one of
918
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.400
those things that like did or when they got this
919
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.599
on last Roady was like very mostly stirring for them.
920
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:13.480
Yeah, definitely. It's it's a really goodly paid definitely check
921
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:16.159
it out. We continue on with a whole fucking stream
922
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:20.800
of new album announcements. Down have finally after so many
923
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.920
years of threatening. It's literally been twelve years since the
924
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.719
last record of the Down release, and that wasn't officially
925
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.159
an album that was like over thirty minutes, so you know,
926
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:32.480
whatever you like, but it's a twelve year since the
927
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:35.000
last Down record, if you want to be really nerdy
928
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:37.840
about it, it's nearly twenty since Down three is the
929
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.719
last like official full length album. Yeah, yeah, And like
930
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:42.480
I said, they've been threatening, saying, oh, working on a
931
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.920
new material for so so long. It is finally happening.
932
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:48.519
It's finally on the way. It's called Volume five. Obviously.
933
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:50.679
You know. Down four was the pair of vps apout.
934
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.280
Volume five is the Down stuo album's coming out on
935
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:56.360
November the twentieth. There is a song from it out
936
00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.400
called blood Oath and I never want to I don't know,
937
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.760
just kind of blindly steam into talking about this particular
938
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:07.679
band because of the the the Anselmo in the room,
939
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:10.920
and I suppose I wanted to just briefly throughout to
940
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:14.199
you guys here who are listening to us, what the
941
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:17.760
expectation is in us covering this, I suppose because you know,
942
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:23.360
we have spoken about this band. We had length yeah, yeah,
943
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.679
and last year we did a you know, a full
944
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:29.519
Nola Sludge you know sort of scene special on the
945
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.599
Patreon where we discussed you know, and did infuse certainly
946
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:35.599
about the entire you know, Down catalog, but we did
947
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:39.960
also you know, include conversations about Phil's reputation and what
948
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.239
kind of his actions have you know, sort of cast
949
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:46.239
over the band and that scene in general and so on.
950
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:48.280
And we haven't had you know, during the entire time
951
00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:50.760
that you know, since the whole Diambash instance, every ten
952
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.280
years ago. We haven't had new Down music to actually
953
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.000
like be concerned with or whatever. This is the first
954
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.960
time that's happening. And you know, there are there are
955
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.800
so many heroes of ours in this band, but also
956
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:02.639
you know who we do cover at We cover Crowbar
957
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:05.760
CAREERSI for me, whatever. But also there is this elephant
958
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.519
in the room with Down that has it's not gone unaddressed,
959
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.400
but I think for many people gone not satisfactorially addressed
960
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.679
that you know, some people might be just expecting us
961
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.039
to you know, happily cover the New Down album, no
962
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.840
questions asked. Some people might be exactly the inverse of it,
963
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:26.199
So I just thought I would ask for people, what
964
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:27.960
do you think, like, would you like us to what
965
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:29.760
do you think about us, you know, reviewing the New
966
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.320
Down album when that comes out? For example, I will
967
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.599
say that in the event of us reviewing the album,
968
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.440
what I think I would do is I would cut
969
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.760
the conversation from the special that we did. What we
970
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:46.960
had again, a very lengthy conversation about Philadzelma basically and
971
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:50.000
again his you know, his reputation in the decade since
972
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.480
that event and all that stuff, and we went into
973
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:55.559
our feelings about Phil in that kind of way. I
974
00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.159
would probably I would take that conversation, you know, from
975
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.920
the Noble special that we did, and I would paste
976
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:03.840
it into the review that we did, so that we
977
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.920
you know, have that again addressing of that there, so
978
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:08.760
we would not go into a down review you know,
979
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.800
completely again not just you know, blinders on right, That's
980
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:14.360
probably what I would do. But with that in mind,
981
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.159
would you like us to review the do It Down album?
982
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:18.119
Or you know, what do you think? I think the
983
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:20.400
song is decent? I think it is very much like, uh,
984
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:22.800
it kind of reminds me of Down four, which I
985
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.960
know that when we did The Nose Special, I seem
986
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:27.519
to like Down for a lot more than lots of people,
987
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.159
and it's because of how much on that kind of
988
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.880
era they seem to be. You know, there's a doominess
989
00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:36.840
about it where suddenly for that record, it's like everything's
990
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:39.159
been written while hanging out in mausoleums, you know what
991
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.159
I mean. And this has like Kirk's in a fucking
992
00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.519
hooded robe at one point in the video, like Kirk Monkster,
993
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.440
you know what I mean. And it's got a really
994
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:51.000
like it's a concentrated power doom riff. Like it's not
995
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:55.000
got the swing of some other Down tracks. It's really
996
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:58.039
like you know again Trouble Candle Mass Fucking It's not
997
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.679
like super slow, but it is, you know, stately in
998
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:04.639
that sort of way. And Phil is very much kind
999
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:06.920
of in you know, I think that material allows him
1000
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:09.400
to just like stay in a low sort of area,
1001
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.360
you know, without having to exert himself too much, you
1002
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:14.440
know what I mean. But I think it's a you know,
1003
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:15.119
a decent song.
1004
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.079
Yeah, I think the song is good. I think not
1005
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:20.400
I was as big on Down for but I think
1006
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:22.800
maybe it's because this is just, you know, the first
1007
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:23.400
new Downs.
1008
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:23.559
From the world.
1009
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:24.840
But it just kind of it has a kind of
1010
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:27.480
like stately side, but also is still quite an oppressive side.
1011
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:29.719
The video again kind of like having these black and
1012
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.519
white shots of New Orleans and graffy it. It kind
1013
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:37.320
of still feels so tied to the identity of New
1014
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.920
Orleans and like them come from there, the good and
1015
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.320
the bad.
1016
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:42.719
And I think, I mean, it's cool. I've only given
1017
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:42.920
it the.
1018
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:44.480
Sort of the one cursion you listen, but I was
1019
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.639
kind of like, yeah, if this is sort of down
1020
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:48.320
coming back, I feel like this could be sort of
1021
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.840
like agreeable down come back. Obviously, it just the the
1022
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.480
the the issue is going to be, this is the
1023
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:58.960
most sort of substantial significant release that and Selma has
1024
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:02.559
kind of put his name on creatively outside of my
1025
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:04.960
live shows in the entire time we have it, so
1026
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:06.320
like good first single what.
1027
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:10.239
Is Yeah you Wonder Again? With What's Happened to Krowbar?
1028
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:13.000
And these type bands like You Wonder, like are down
1029
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.480
privy to that, you know what I mean? Or does
1030
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:17.920
the Anselmo factor go the other way? It's against yet
1031
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.480
to be seen. I don't know. I would say, like again,
1032
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:23.199
I really like the last you know bout of Down
1033
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:25.039
material that we had over a decade ago. I know
1034
00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:27.079
that some people did not. I would if you are
1035
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:29.519
in the you know not category, don't get your hopes
1036
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:31.239
too high, Like I don't think they're suddenly going to
1037
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:34.199
swing back with a fucking Nola or Down three level
1038
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:38.639
absolute prime. You know, they're all at the age they're
1039
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:40.400
at now, right. It's kind of you know, if you
1040
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:43.360
if you likes the latest Down record, I would probably
1041
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.760
hopefully place the bets on this being pretty good in
1042
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:48.280
that kind of realm as well. But if you if
1043
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.639
it's been a long time since you cared about Down music,
1044
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.360
then you don't force yourself to care what I would say,
1045
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:55.800
But there you go. New Down album finally, Volume five
1046
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.000
coming out in November. Quite big news week for black
1047
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.239
metal album announcements as well, because we have Wolves in
1048
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.920
the Throne Room have announced their new studio Album's been
1049
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:06.719
a little while for them. It's been five years since
1050
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:09.679
our last full length album. Their album's coming out on
1051
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:12.599
October the twenty third. It's called Estuary. The thing that
1052
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:15.239
really kind of grab my eye about this is in
1053
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.760
the announcement of this record and the sort of descriptive
1054
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:21.079
of it, they have said this record is set one
1055
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.800
thousand years in the future, survivors of a cataculism wander
1056
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:28.239
the haunted ruins, and post apocalyptic religion takes form in
1057
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.000
a wild landscape, which sounds fucking mental for a band
1058
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.000
like Wolve and Throne Room, But considering so much of
1059
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:36.719
their thing is about, you know, the land and the earth, right,
1060
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.079
I can definitely see what they're getting out in terms
1061
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:43.320
of I don't know, climate fucking catastrophe basically, and you know,
1062
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:45.920
the trajectory of our world and all these things, And
1063
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:48.079
I can understand why Wolves and the Throne Room right
1064
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:52.559
now would be looking around to you know, a landscape
1065
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.719
that is quite consistently literally on fire in recent years,
1066
00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:58.119
and their mind would take them to, like, yeah, let's right,
1067
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:00.920
an album that's a thousand years in the few about
1068
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.559
a burned up, fucking post apocalyptic thing sounds wacky for
1069
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:06.920
WOLVEM throm And, but I can immediately see the vision.
1070
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.480
But October it always excited about new Wolve and Throne
1071
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:11.440
music coming out, and we also have similarly in October
1072
00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:15.079
new Enslaved record which is coming out the week after that,
1073
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:18.159
October the thirtieth, and it is called it's called m
1074
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:20.239
I and then D with a funny little, you know,
1075
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.280
Viking Norse accent on it, which does mean you read
1076
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:27.480
it and it looks like mid. Apparently it's might pronounce
1077
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:30.679
more myth or myth or something, so they're not just
1078
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.960
saying the album is mid. It was one of those
1079
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:35.280
was like, yeah, the headline rights itself. It won't be mid.
1080
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:37.440
Enslaved a great they're always great. The last album, him
1081
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.000
Dal was really good. Exciting news. The seventeenth Enslaved album.
1082
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.280
They have been prolific and they are still good. The
1083
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.760
sixteenth one was good, So there you go. The new album,
1084
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:51.199
not Mid, hopefully coming out in late October. Something that
1085
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.679
came out this past week but grabbed a few headlines
1086
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:56.639
is the new Phoebe Bridges album. Who is not an
1087
00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.280
artist that we tend to ever really talk about because
1088
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:02.639
it's not relevant to heavy music, but her new album
1089
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:04.840
that came out this past week has garnered a few
1090
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.440
headlines in again the heavier world, because it turns out
1091
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:11.239
justin Broadrick is on it. Just in Broadery. The underground
1092
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:13.960
extreme music icon, one of the most important people to
1093
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.559
ever pick up a guitar and play really heavy shit. Honestly,
1094
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:20.639
most I think familiar to metal fans due to his
1095
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:24.519
Godflesh project, although he was very quite rightfully so you know,
1096
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:26.199
keen to point out that it's not in the Godflesh
1097
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.000
capacity that he appeared with Phoebe Bridges. Apparently Phoebe Bridges
1098
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:31.320
is a big fan of his other kind of more
1099
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:36.480
you know, dreamy shoegayzy ish project, Yazoo, and so reached
1100
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:39.840
out to him to appear on the phoe Bridges album.
1101
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:41.760
He's on a song called Bobby on the album as
1102
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:43.840
well as like another sort of hidden song which I
1103
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:45.880
haven't heard because it's like vinyl only or something like that.
1104
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:49.519
But this does mean that justin Broadray is, for example,
1105
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:51.559
now only a stone like you know, a degree of
1106
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:55.159
separation removed from Taylor Swift or several other folks. It's
1107
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:57.320
like he's on the same album as Bo Burnham, like
1108
00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.719
as a whole, over the whole, like a weird Phoebe
1109
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.039
Bridges has become this strange connective tissue that has really
1110
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.440
pulled some disparate worlds together.
1111
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:06.280
You always just get around in pop arts. But every
1112
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:07.519
now and them will just do some of like this
1113
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.079
and they will just be a weird again, just like
1114
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:13.880
connective thing that sort of ties alternate musicians to a popeyes.
1115
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:15.719
Then you're gonna well, then there's a through line.
1116
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:18.880
We there is a fail word with somehow just a
1117
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:22.000
broaderick ends up like doing a guitar part for Taylor
1118
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:25.360
said somehow like an insane bizarro timeline.
1119
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.119
But I'm not saying this. I like, I'm not the
1120
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.199
biggest Phoebe Bridges fan. I was kind of like I was.
1121
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.239
I was like, oh, that's cool, I'll get around to
1122
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:32.719
it at some point.
1123
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:35.599
I don't care about Phoebe Bridges at all. I'm not
1124
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:37.159
gonna listen to the album. I did listen to this song,
1125
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:41.039
and again, if you're here, you know, listening with a
1126
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:42.679
yazy kind of ear, those sort of you know, just
1127
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:46.000
sort of slow thick. It's not as you know, pronounced
1128
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:47.599
in the mix as it is in actual yazy right,
1129
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:49.440
because that's the point of that music. But you could
1130
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:50.960
maybe hear a little bit in the sort of back
1131
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:52.599
of it. I think I'm writing saying that one of
1132
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.280
the guitarist from of American Football is on the same song,
1133
00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:58.159
and he's doing more of like anudly kind of you
1134
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:02.800
know American football. Yeah, like guitar part, but while Justin
1135
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:05.079
is laying down these sort of like big chords in
1136
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:07.320
the background. But yeah, I mean, I feel like this
1137
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:09.719
doesn't happen anymore in the era when you know people
1138
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:13.079
don't obsess over liner notes. But in another world this
1139
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:16.559
maybe results in lots of Phoebe Bridish fans like finding
1140
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:18.360
out who just In Broaderick is and then getting into
1141
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:21.840
Street Cleaner, which would be sick.
1142
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:22.880
But there you go.
1143
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.400
The unlikely crossover of the week and our last single
1144
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:28.840
of the bunch is something that I have only put
1145
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:30.480
in here for you, Sam, just because I wanted to
1146
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:32.800
know how much in twenty twenty six, you still care
1147
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.480
that Mallory Knocks have put out their first new single
1148
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:40.039
since reuniting with former now returned singer Mikey Chapman.
1149
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:41.719
You know someone.
1150
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:43.960
We're gonna probably go on to plugging in a second,
1151
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:49.639
but sort of steal a quote. None of bands play heavy,
1152
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:51.000
none of bands rip.
1153
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:53.920
This Mallory Knock song doesn't rip, doesn't.
1154
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:59.960
It's not a ripper, Like obviously they reunited with Mike
1155
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:01.480
like two years ago. Now.
1156
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:04.639
I saw them out of Slam Dunk I believe, and
1157
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:05.039
then I was.
1158
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:09.599
Kind of like yeah, cool, Like I like, you know, European,
1159
00:52:09.639 --> 00:52:11.800
your one album and then never really cared for anything
1160
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:14.559
you did after that.
1161
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:15.159
They are just.
1162
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:18.880
Plugging straight back into that sort of like early twenty
1163
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:22.039
tens British rock thing. It's kind of like, I'm sure
1164
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:25.000
the people the arrested sort of development crowd who haven't
1165
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:28.280
got out of that are really excited about this. But
1166
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.400
I did not gave this one listening. I was kind
1167
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:35.360
of like, I feel nothing. You are not ripping at all.
1168
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:41.159
Bands need to rip more and just yeah, play nothing song.
1169
00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:43.199
They put out the right week for us in regards
1170
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:46.000
to have that particular, you know, emotional response. But there
1171
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:48.039
you go. Let's close out with just the last little
1172
00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:52.800
run of live music news. Undeath have announced a UK
1173
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:56.039
tour a few European mainline European dates as well, but
1174
00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:58.639
in the UK they're gonna be riving in November and
1175
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:02.599
they're gonna be playing Milton Keynes, London, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool,
1176
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.559
Birmingham and Southampton. It's nice to Undeath are such regular visitors.
1177
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:10.079
To our shores because they're always sick and that's exciting
1178
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:12.760
to get another retunity to see those guys. Would be
1179
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:14.280
great if there was a new album or something next year,
1180
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.320
imagine they probably would be not too far on the horizon,
1181
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:20.760
but tour coming up. Cool good news. If you are
1182
00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:23.119
in London. I wanted to briefly shine a light on
1183
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:26.039
you might if you are, you know, in the our
1184
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:29.519
particular niche, you might have been following the ongoing circumstances
1185
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.320
of Cosmic Void Festival, which is the Blackmail festival that
1186
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:34.840
has happened in London for most of the past handful
1187
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:36.840
of like, you know years sort of post you know,
1188
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.679
turn of this decade. I have been on some occasions
1189
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:43.079
I was in fact planning to attend this year. The
1190
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:47.960
entire festival has disappeared. They have supposedly postponed it to
1191
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:50.719
next year, but there's a whole load of I don't know,
1192
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:54.920
you know, uncertainty surrounding that. I won't delve too heavily
1193
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:56.800
into that here, but you know, it's a whole Cosmic
1194
00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:58.519
Void that was going to be happening is now not.
1195
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:01.239
It has resulted in seven bands kind of being in
1196
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.320
the lurch. Who had, you know, flights and other such
1197
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:05.960
things that so soon that have not been able to
1198
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:09.079
be amended. One of those such bands is Code, who
1199
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:11.519
one of their primary members has to fly over from
1200
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.079
New Zealand even though they are historically UK band. He
1201
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:15.519
lives in New Zealand and they have come over here.
1202
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:18.480
And so if you are in London, you know, whether
1203
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:20.079
you're going to Cosmic Void Festival or not, you might
1204
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.679
be interested that Code are doing a rare UK show
1205
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.199
these days because they are still in fact flying their
1206
00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:27.320
shit over and it has been put on, you know,
1207
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:31.920
rescue from Cosmic Void Festival by the Black Heart Venue
1208
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:34.559
and so Code are playing a show there with Wolf
1209
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:36.480
Bastard and Sidious in support. I think they're going to
1210
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:39.199
be maybe adding a few other bands onto that as well.
1211
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:41.679
But the nineteenth of September, and if you want to
1212
00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:43.400
know why Code so brilliant, then you can go and
1213
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.760
hear our album Club Pack we did like last year
1214
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:48.280
sometime a head of dam Nation Festivals speaking about their
1215
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:51.039
record Respondent Grotesque and why they are genuinely, in my opinion,
1216
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:52.639
one of the greatest black metal bands of all time
1217
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.719
and as a rarer live draw these days than they
1218
00:54:55.719 --> 00:54:58.280
maybe were in eras past. Definitely if you are in
1219
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.320
the region, this would be worth looking into if you
1220
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.719
are interested in cool black metals. So yeah, CODE playing
1221
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:07.719
a show that is quite brilliantly labeled fill the Void, right,
1222
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:09.800
because I think they're like noticing a few similar such
1223
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:12.320
things popping up around that weekend, but CODE getting ahead
1224
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:14.199
of the pack. There is one of those. And finally,
1225
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:18.320
last story comes from ac DC, who are touring in
1226
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:22.360
America and they are going to be playing a whole
1227
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.440
load of American dates, but there's one date in particular
1228
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:27.960
that's interesting in Saint Louis in Missouri. I believe that
1229
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.079
is where they are going to for one night only,
1230
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:35.400
parting ways from their regular support acts. The pretty Reckless
1231
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:39.599
who have been doing everything with ACDC of late, which
1232
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:42.880
side notes, that's such a naff choice, isn't it.
1233
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.760
Like I was there at London and very reckless, and
1234
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:48.400
like I was, like, you know, I like to make
1235
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:48.719
want to.
1236
00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:51.400
Die back in twenty ten or whatever it was, But.
1237
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:53.280
I guess a great reckless have just been continued doing
1238
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:55.320
everything with ACDC apart from I don't know why, but
1239
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:57.119
they can't do this one date, so they've got the
1240
00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:58.480
food Fights, since.
1241
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:02.320
Imagine being the people.
1242
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.559
Who go to that one date and with I would imagine,
1243
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:08.559
you know, it's no extra cost. Your support acts changes
1244
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:11.440
from crap band, the pretty reckless who have no good
1245
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:14.760
songs into a band who I haven't actually checked. This
1246
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:17.840
might be wrong, but I would I would probably guess
1247
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:21.639
that the food fighters actually like outstream a CDC. Right.
1248
00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:24.639
They're certainly obviously in that contingent of like the literally
1249
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:26.760
the biggest bands who will only play stadiums on their
1250
00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:29.840
own anyway. I mean, it's this is obviously a case
1251
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:32.920
where I don't know, Dave Grohl has gone, yeah, I'll
1252
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:35.440
support ac DC. It's ACDC, like, of course, yeah, do
1253
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:40.440
it for them, sure, But the fucking lucky concertgoers who
1254
00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:42.280
are going to see ACDs on this one particular date
1255
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:45.079
and they get to swap out the pretty reckless for oh,
1256
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:46.880
the biggest band in the world.
1257
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:50.599
It is absolutely Dave got hole just being like, hey,
1258
00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:53.119
can I can I come support a CDC just just
1259
00:56:53.159 --> 00:56:55.599
to say I've supported a CTC or some shit like that.
1260
00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:56.599
Yeah.
1261
00:56:56.719 --> 00:56:59.400
Like again, like we we've you know, been on and
1262
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.280
off with the food They're hot on their cold on
1263
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:03.360
the albums, but at the same time, if you're going
1264
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.239
to be like in a stadium watching and Food Fighters
1265
00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:08.639
into a c DC, that's a lot of really good
1266
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:10.679
rock songs you are probably going to be hearing.
1267
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:11.280
It's crazy.
1268
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:15.079
Tickets are astronomically expensive for these shows nowadays.
1269
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:16.599
But if you don't really boil your ticket for that,
1270
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:18.960
and then you're you're kind of going, oh, food Fight
1271
00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:21.519
has been added, You're like, well, I've got steel like, yes,
1272
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:23.000
stolen a ticket for that.
1273
00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:25.719
The only stadium show that is a bargain is this
1274
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:27.000
one specific state.
1275
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.599
Genuinely like crazy stuff but happy. If everyone who's going
1276
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:33.159
to that, that will be that will be a night
1277
00:57:33.199 --> 00:57:35.320
you'll you'll be talking about you remember that time I
1278
00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:37.639
saw ac DC in the Food Fighters together?
1279
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:39.880
Not bad, not bad.
1280
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:42.199
So there you go. That is the goings on of
1281
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.960
the rock world for the past week. Are goings on
1282
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:46.880
if you are a you know, a keen follow of
1283
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:50.079
our podcast is we have been in a We've not
1284
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:51.599
been listening to a CDC and the Food Fighters. Really,
1285
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:54.599
we've been in a much scuzzier land where we have
1286
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:57.800
been talking about a band who are hard, are fast,
1287
00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:02.760
are heavy, and rip black Breath Baby. We did a
1288
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:07.519
one part band special over on the That's Not Metal Patreon,
1289
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:11.679
where we shone a light on everything to do with
1290
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:14.119
a band who I feel deserved to have a light
1291
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:17.119
shone on them, A band who if you were following
1292
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:20.400
heavy music in the earlier part of the twenty tens
1293
00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:23.239
from twenty ten through to twenty fifteen, when they released
1294
00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:25.800
their three studio albums, if you had your finger on
1295
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:27.840
your pulse, you probably will have heard Black Breath. They
1296
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:32.079
were a very beloved band in that era. But considering
1297
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:34.760
the way they literally, as we discussed, just went missing,
1298
00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:38.119
just like they'd never formally broke up, they just went awol.
1299
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:40.760
They just disappeared off the face of the earth for
1300
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:46.039
several years. Their legend, we all collectively said and felt,
1301
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:49.559
was not carried on as much as it should. There
1302
00:58:49.559 --> 00:58:51.719
will be, of course, people who remembered Black Breath, all
1303
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:53.960
of us amongst us. I'm sure many of you listening
1304
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:56.920
as well will have, you know, strong ties to the
1305
00:58:57.000 --> 00:59:00.280
incredible records that band put out. But people in in
1306
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:03.159
the world just didn't talk about Black Breath enough. And
1307
00:59:03.199 --> 00:59:06.239
that was even still true when they recently announced their
1308
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:09.320
reunion and have like played their first reunion date, and
1309
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:12.079
people still haven't really like cottoned on to the fact
1310
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:13.800
that Black Breath are back and like maybe worth I
1311
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:15.760
don't know, keeping an eye on or all this kind
1312
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:19.360
of stuff. So we did it. And if you are
1313
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:21.719
completely new to Black Breath, if you you know, maybe
1314
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:25.199
came to know rock music after their period of activity,
1315
00:59:25.719 --> 00:59:27.679
you missed that band, then this is also for you,
1316
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:29.480
because this is us telling you why you should care
1317
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:33.280
about Black Breath and why they are a band right
1318
00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:36.000
for rediscovery in several different ways. We were talking about,
1319
00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:38.280
you know, some records of theirs that went really under
1320
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:40.000
the radar at the time and why I at least
1321
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:42.679
feel they are right for rediscovery, and then talking about
1322
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:45.440
their you know, their most beloved records that still we
1323
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:48.559
feel should be more regularly cited and shouted about that
1324
00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:51.679
than they are. And really what I am doing here
1325
00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:54.400
is I am hoping to get more people into Black Breath,
1326
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:57.280
so that then demand for Black Breath increases, so that
1327
00:59:57.320 --> 00:59:59.559
more people tell Black Breath to come over here and
1328
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:01.360
play a shit and then they do it and I
1329
01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:03.280
get to see Black Breath. That is my long term
1330
01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:07.239
plan with particular special the way that we've done it,
1331
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.400
but as something that I have been wanting to do
1332
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:11.960
four years, even before they announced that they were even back,
1333
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:13.599
and you know that was an option that was on
1334
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:16.519
the cards. It was such a pleasure and a joy
1335
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.159
to revisit a band who are very special to me
1336
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:23.880
and for their brief period of activity, were quite simply
1337
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:25.559
one of the best bands in the world.
1338
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.599
This was a for us, specially when it felt like
1339
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:32.760
maybe it's probably the most niche band special we have done.
1340
01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:34.480
We've done, you know, like someenty one poines, but both
1341
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.559
Breaker and Nails abbsans they have like a wider kind
1342
01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:40.000
of like sort of thing that they're known outside of
1343
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.400
like the circle of like fans. Black is such a
1344
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:45.960
like the most cult thing we've done. And we went
1345
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:48.119
on for four hours, over four hours about this band.
1346
01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:49.280
No one else is going to do a four hour
1347
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:51.920
podcast on Black prof I swear, but my god, what
1348
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:52.880
a treat it was.
1349
01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:57.119
But the giddy excitement we had at several points, all
1350
01:00:57.159 --> 01:00:58.880
three of us is kind of like there.
1351
01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:01.920
Is there is one in the Black Breath catalog that
1352
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:04.760
I think is amongst the most excited we have collectively
1353
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.480
been to talk about a single song ever, just like.
1354
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:11.199
Shaking in our chairs almost like jumping up and down
1355
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:13.840
just due to the kind of like the giddy energy
1356
01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:16.920
that that song gave us. It was a real like again,
1357
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:20.119
this sort of like past havn't I haven't be week
1358
01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:22.360
or two weeks I've been listening to just like Black
1359
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.840
Breath and just kind of like being like, ah, bands
1360
01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:30.079
just aren't this hard and scuzzy and ripping, And it's
1361
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:32.480
just been such a sort of sick place to be
1362
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:35.679
in and sort of like rear praise and explore the
1363
01:01:35.719 --> 01:01:39.039
kind of again the eras that band that reinvestigates some
1364
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:41.960
are as, that band that I were not my sold
1365
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:45.039
territory to begin with on their first go round. But yeah,
1366
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:47.800
if you know how Black Breath listen to Black Breath,
1367
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:49.079
I don't know. A bunch of people were like showing
1368
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:52.199
the first mother like ah, fucking yeah Blackbreaf. I'm like, see,
1369
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:54.280
you know, this is why we do this, because everyone
1370
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:57.159
who knows Black Breath knows how sick they are. And yeah,
1371
01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:59.559
we just need more people talking about how sick Black
1372
01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:02.199
Breath are so that we get we get Black Breth
1373
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:02.480
over here.
1374
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:03.199
It's got to happen.
1375
01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:07.000
Yeah, heavy breathing sentence to life. We had like an
1376
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:10.400
hour plus conversation about their third record, Slaves Beyond Death,
1377
01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:12.800
which I think is the most in depth and the
1378
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:16.920
longest conversation any publication or anyone has ever done or
1379
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:20.199
had about Slaves Beyond Death, which I feel for the
1380
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.639
genre at large, is long in the making to at
1381
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:26.480
least have that conversation. And as we said, if you
1382
01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:28.440
have heard the name Black Breath, if you've heard us,
1383
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:30.760
be like, oh yeah, black Breath. But you know, like
1384
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.079
I said, you didn't know where to where to begin
1385
01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:35.639
with it, a party by whatever, then consider this your guide.
1386
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:39.519
This is your step by step, you know, discovery journey
1387
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:42.480
of taking you through why they were to us such
1388
01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:44.840
a special band and yeah, basically get them back, get
1389
01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:48.480
them over it. Come on everyone, everyone needs to get involved,
1390
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:51.079
and this special is a great place to start. So
1391
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:54.880
the Black Breath T and M Special officially stamped on there,
1392
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:56.760
very proud and happy to have that out there and
1393
01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:58.760
be able to talk about a band who I said,
1394
01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:01.760
I think deserve it so much the way I feel
1395
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:05.239
about Black Breath. That is available over at the TNM
1396
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:08.360
Patreon where before this you know it gives us how
1397
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:08.599
it works.
1398
01:03:08.679 --> 01:03:08.760
Right?
1399
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:10.920
Were are four parts special on corn One of the
1400
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:13.000
biggest bands, one of the most important bands, a band
1401
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:14.760
that everyone wanted us to do a special on, and
1402
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:17.039
then we go yeah. But also Black Breath. That is
1403
01:03:17.280 --> 01:03:20.039
what I feel TRN. There was a podcast should should
1404
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:22.079
be about and that is the way we will always
1405
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.480
be rolling. So Black Breath over there at the TNM Patreon.
1406
01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:29.519
Let's end this special. Sorry, I know, this hyperblast episode
1407
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:32.679
with a release round up and we are still in
1408
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:36.280
you know, a slow summer period. I would say it
1409
01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:39.239
is quality not quantity this week in that we have
1410
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:41.880
definitely it's quite a big release week in terms of
1411
01:03:41.920 --> 01:03:44.039
albums that we you know, are important to us and
1412
01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:46.800
we have been looking forward to. On this week, the
1413
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:51.039
twenty first of August, we have two in particular standouts.
1414
01:03:51.119 --> 01:03:54.599
We have Weezer's The Gold Album. I very much enjoyed
1415
01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:57.719
seeing the TV performance of Weezer this week when rivers
1416
01:03:57.800 --> 01:04:01.800
is it is literally just did enterte in gold wearing
1417
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:04.800
a gold fucking top pat of course brilliant. But we
1418
01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:07.079
the Gold album the first we as a studio album
1419
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:10.119
in five years. Incredibly, they did take that time with
1420
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:12.719
this one. So we will obviously be talking about that
1421
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:14.239
in depth and assessing where it sits in the Weiser
1422
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.199
catalog when we get the moment to do so, and
1423
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:19.280
following up on that, as you would discuss in earlier
1424
01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:22.000
having seen her this week, Chelsea Wolfe's album The Dark
1425
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:24.679
not so long for her two years passed it her
1426
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:27.920
last album, but another record from as you were saying earlier,
1427
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:33.119
one of the greatest currently working alternative artists. Two huge
1428
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:34.719
records I think for us that we would definitely be
1429
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:38.519
talking about in our next reviews bag elsewhere this week.
1430
01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:40.840
If you want to go beyond that top line, there
1431
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:43.800
is the kind of gothic heavy metal band who have
1432
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:46.239
been making a few waves in the right circles in
1433
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:49.039
the past half of years, The Night Eternal. They've got
1434
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:52.239
an album called Cold Velvet, so, like I said, dark
1435
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:56.119
leaning heavy metal, late eighties metal. If that sounds of
1436
01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:58.679
interest to you, then go and check it out. Into
1437
01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:01.400
the extreme metal the ground, which is the main place
1438
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:03.519
I don't know where people are still releasing albums at
1439
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:06.840
this particular time of the year. We have the long
1440
01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:12.639
running UK black metal stalwarts and pioneers Fen with their
1441
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:15.840
new album. It is the first part of what appears
1442
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:17.760
to be a two part kind of project of albums
1443
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.639
it's Elemental Part one Morning Earth, and I've been listening
1444
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:23.320
to a decent bit of fen in the last year
1445
01:05:23.400 --> 01:05:24.880
or two years, so I'm going to be looking forward
1446
01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:26.760
to checking out what Fenn had got cooking on their
1447
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:28.920
current new one, and then over into the death metal world.
1448
01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:30.159
If that's your flavor, if you always want to a
1449
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:32.800
record from that world every single week, then there is
1450
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:34.320
a record that I found for you this week called
1451
01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:37.400
The band are called azatof The record is called Carnal
1452
01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:40.000
Lust of Blasphemy, which is definitely a death metal album title,
1453
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:41.920
isn't it. That's picking the words that you want to
1454
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:43.880
have in your deafthital album title them putting them together
1455
01:05:44.280 --> 01:05:46.880
ep front if you obviously you need your hardcore release.
1456
01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:48.320
There is of course the God's Hate EPP that we
1457
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.639
spoke about earlier. It won't be disgraced. Definitely recommend that one.
1458
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:53.079
And there's also a live album coming up this week
1459
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:56.760
from the Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral, with their
1460
01:05:56.880 --> 01:05:59.760
records titled A Beast to Praise Praise It if you
1461
01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:02.519
want to go and do that otherwise. That ends our
1462
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:06.840
hyperblasts this week. Next week, the final week of August
1463
01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:09.079
will be our next Reviews show, so we are going
1464
01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:12.639
to be talking about, of course, Weezer, Chelsea Wolf, several
1465
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:15.960
other records from the last few weeks that we feel
1466
01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:17.960
are worth your time and worth checking out. I know
1467
01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:19.960
there obviously there are some very big releases coming out
1468
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:22.360
next week as well. The next week for us is
1469
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:24.960
going to be Reviews episode. We're going to be talking
1470
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:27.480
about some other stuff after that, beyond that point. But
1471
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.679
right now, this coming weekend, as I'm about to let
1472
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.199
Sam go and run away as fast as your legs
1473
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:36.000
can carry you out out of your front door towards
1474
01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:39.280
Shepherd's Bush or whatever. It is, big stuff going on.
1475
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:42.039
So hope everybody's having a good time. Everybody who is
1476
01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:44.920
joining us this weekend values it as much as I'm
1477
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:47.000
sure we are going to do. Everybody who's our tangent
1478
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.079
this weekend is having the brilliant time that we currently
1479
01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:51.440
cannot have. But I'm sure it is absolutely fantastic, and
1480
01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:54.559
we will see you next week. Bye bye,
