It's not his birthday. Nobody actually knows when Jay's birthday is, least of all Jay, apparently. But actually, it was yesterday. But he is at a kiss concert tonight. He sends his love. And there is going to be a clip from him later. But for the most part, we will have to do without him tonight. But this evening, I am proud to say that we have a guest coming to us. 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:47.300 All the way from New York, Butch Marino of the band Fight School. How you doing, Butch? What's happening? How are you guys? Pretty good. Welcome to the podcast. I'm fucking pumped to be on this podcast right now. That's awesome. So, Fight School, you guys just released your debut EP back in January, Profane Meltdowns. 00:01:51.900 --> 00:02:18.940 Lifting, Fighting, Tough, Heavy, Hardcore Music. Can you expand on that at all? There's nothing really to expand on with that. It says what it is on the Bandcamp page. It's fucking tough. It's free to listen to while you lift fucking weights. And it's heavy, fucking beatdown hardcore. And you're going to listen to it when you're at the fucking gym lifting weights. You're going to listen to it at the office and you're going to smash your fucking desk. 00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:26.220 When you put this album on at the office or at home, you're going to smash 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:34.200 your mom's fucking turkey at the dinner table when you put this album on at your fucking family gatherings and shit. 00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:38.380 So, you know, I mean, I don't give a shit what anybody thinks. 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.460 Good to know. Good to know. 00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:46.440 So tell us about the other guys in the band and what brought all you guys together. 00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:51.500 So I'm originally from Aurora, Illinois. 00:02:51.600 --> 00:03:21.560 I moved to Albany, New York a couple of years ago. Got together with Frankie and Al. They were already playing in a few metal, punk, and hardcore bands. Really, really terrible new metal band. I didn't even know that was still a thing, but they had a new metal band where they had to wear dreadlocks and shit. Is new metal and terrible an oxymoron? You mean... 00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:48.640 Not an oxymoron, but a... What do you call it when you say the same thing twice? Well, I'll tell you what, it's for fucking morons, that's for sure. This shit sucks. But they're really good players, and I was in a really terrible soft rock band, so we got together with them. What was the name of that band? Everybody's bands fucking sucked. My band sucked. Their band sucked. 00:03:51.580 --> 00:04:20.900 that was heavy, that was angry, that you could really listen to and just punch the fucking floor and just fuck shit up when you hear it and when you play it. Just jump around, smash the wall, smash your desk, smash a chair, smash your face. Smash each other. It doesn't fucking matter. Mom's turkey. The two of them have been playing together for a really long time. They have a long history that goes way back, so they're already a really tight drummer and guitar combo. 00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:51.500 And we still needed a bass player. They knew this guy, Connor, but he was stuck playing in this fucking terrible ska band, which is the worst fucking genre of music ever made. Dude, man, the mighty boss tones. Come on. It sucks. It sounds like fucking game show music and it's bullshit. It's too goddamn happy. And it's just that. Fuck that shit. So we were like, dude, you're a good bass player. 00:04:51.840 --> 00:05:21.560 You're wasting your talent wearing these fucking checkerboard pants or whatever and these 3D glasses being in this fucking ska band. You need to you know you need to turn up the distortion on that motherfucking bass and come play some fucking heavy beatdown hardcore. You know. So did you guys all meet up in Albany or what? No no I mean I have to drive about two hours south to Albany to meet up with those guys in Newburgh which is where we practice and you know they're all from that 00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:51.520 that area. Connor's from Pine Bush. And the other two guys are from Newburgh. All right, then. I don't know where any of those places are. I just know where New York City is. Neither does anybody else. I do, actually, because I grew up in central New York. All right. No shit. Yeah. Whereabouts? Syracuse. Okay. A lot of hardcore in the 90s. Yeah, yeah. So speaking of New York and hardcore, being a New York band, do you guys feel any pressure to live up? 00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:53.360 to the New York hardcore legacy? 00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.300 You know, not really. 00:05:58.460 --> 00:05:59.860 I mean, we all live in the suburbs. 00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:04.860 So, you know, we honestly, I don't give a shit about being cool or anything. 00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:06.800 Neither does anybody else in the band. 00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:13.660 You know, we're not like, you know, trying to be Mr. Cool Guy New York band or whatever. 00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:16.240 You know, we're all from different suburbs. 00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:46.060 We practice in another one and we just don't know what the fuck to tell anybody when they ask us where we're from. So we just say in New York to keep it from being confusing. So you're kind of like Ben Folds. You're rocking the suburbs. Yeah. You know, if that if that makes us posers or whatever, so be it. No, no, man. It's cool. I'm a burb kid. Well, you know, according to the description for Profane Meltdowns, which George read, you guys really just want to. 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.440 lift weights and smash everything. Why is that an important message for you to get out there 00:06:50.820 --> 00:06:57.380 and your music? It's an important message for me to get out there and our music because it's, 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:15.840 you know, everything is fucking bullshit and the world is full of shit. Everything is a load of shit and people are full of fucking shit. And it's, it's just necessary to just, you know, to get out your anger in one way or another. And, you know, what are you going to do? You know, 00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:44.400 Beat somebody up in the pit, man. Yeah, I mean, you know, you can do all the karate you want in the pit, but if you really want to have a healthy outlet for your fucking anger, you need to either get in the gym and lift some fucking weights, or you need to play some heavy fucking hardcore music. Or both at the same time. And you just need to smash some shit up, you know? Have you considered playing at gyms? 00:07:46.000 --> 00:08:15.880 That's a good idea. I like that. Maybe you could get some sort of Planet Fitness endorsement. The music in gyms always sucks. They always have some shitty pop station on where they're listening to Miley Cyrus or whatever is this fucking shit. I hate working out to Celine Dion. It's the worst. How are you supposed to get pumped listening to that shit? They need to put on some fucking heavy music for you to lift to. Let's talk about lifting. 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:45.180 So for anyone looking to get as ripped as you, what kind of lifting regimen do you recommend? Well, you know, honestly, I'm not that ripped. I don't know if you saw the pictures or anything. I'm the smallest guy in the band. I'm 5'3", and, you know, I'm probably a foot shorter than our bass player who's, you know, a big lumbering idiot. But I'm just a small guy, you know. I'm just not fucking huge or anything. 00:08:47.120 --> 00:09:14.860 But you know, that's not what it's about. It's not about how huge you are. It's about how hard you're working. And, you know, that's the big message in the music. That's a very reasonable attitude. Is just getting out there and kicking some fucking ass. No matter if you're fucking two feet tall, or if you're three inches tall, or if you're 90 feet tall, or whatever. You know, all that matters is the effort that you're putting in and that you're getting in there. 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:42.620 and fucking shit up. If you're 90 feet tall, it's a lot easier to fuck shit up. Yeah, but you remind me like your physique. You're like wiry and scrappy. You kind of remind me of the guys that scare the shit out of me in the Kung Fu fighting pit. You guys just whip your arms around and just knock the shit out of people. Yeah, what's your preferred pit style? And that's all bone. Hey, Will, that's all bone that hits you in the head too when it comes around. There's no flab in that. Will is often injured in the pit. Yes. 00:09:44.480 --> 00:10:14.100 Hey Butch, so you're the lead singer in the band, correct? Do you also write all the lyrics? I write all the lyrics. So I noticed on the band camp that all your lyrics are in all caps. Is that part of your way, you know, done on purpose to accentuate your anger? The caps lock button on my keyboard is broken. Did you smash it, Butch? Seriously, I get fucking pissed off at my computer. 00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:43.980 all the fucking time. And it pisses me off and it's a piece of shit. And I smashed it and the button, the capital button that makes all the words big, it hasn't worked. It's just all capitals from now on. Well, I can relate to that. I had my own little meltdown prior to this episode because of several things. So I can relate to that. Fuck computers, man. Right. So when somebody gets an email from me or whatever, you know, somebody gets an email or a message from me, 00:10:44.240 --> 00:11:12.060 They think I'm yelling at them. I'm not always yelling at them. And they get pissed off. Like, what the fuck is your problem? And I'm like, my fucking caps lock button's broken. There's nothing I can do about it. I have to get a new keyboard. I don't know. You know, I'm not made of fucking money here. Yeah. Speaking of speaking of fucking money, you know, his money is the amount of cursing you do in in your songs. And I listened to the whole album and I decided, like, you know, I should take note. 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:42.060 And in the first song in the album, you say some form of the F word 11 times. It's like a Guns N' Roses album. Yeah. And you say some form of the word shit nine times. So I'm analyzing this and you clearly prefer fucking over shit. But you did throw in one ass and one asshole in the first album, the first song. But what's weird is this is where it gets weird. In the second song. 00:11:43.420 --> 00:12:12.060 You also say some version of the F word 11 times again. Wait, is there a theme here? There's a drop off in the shit. The shit should go all the way down to two. Man's a goddamn Shakespeare. I know. And it's almost like you're growing as a lyricist because you're like, I don't have to use that shit. I can use, I just keep using this fucks. The fuck crunch is what it's called. 00:12:12.280 --> 00:12:42.240 Is it rehearsing like a form of artistic expression in your music or you just lack for lyrical content or is it just like your natural personality coming out? Like is it are they filler words? This is like how you feel like this is you. Is that just how people in New York talk? Yeah. In these lyrics you know I've I'm pretty much just coming across just the same way I would talk to you. Like if I was to get in in your fucking face and be like hey you know listen motherfucker this is what I have to say. That's kind of what the lyrics are doing. 00:12:42.600 --> 00:13:08.280 So I'm not sitting here writing fucking poetry or nothing. I'm just getting on the fucking computer and being like, listen, you little bitch. Listen, you fucking computer. Wait, so you're a troll? It's all caps. This is what I have to say. So fuck it. Actually, well, I have to say that I did also the same thing you did. I came up with 37 variations of fuck in five songs. 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:36.440 But interestingly enough, the second most used word was fight at 31, and third was weights or weight. So it's not all swearing. There's some other words in there that are constant. Shit did come in fourth with 19. Which I would say you are almost the Tarantino of hardcore. There's a lot of things that deserve saying. 00:13:59.660 --> 00:14:01.060 ¡Hasta! 00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:37.320 In the lyrics and the music, we talk a big game. The music is there to get you fucking pumped and make you feel invincible. In real life, I'm not like an expert fighter or anything. It's about the spirit. If you have that fighting spirit, that's all that matters. And even if you lose, which is what happens to me every time, then that's all that matters. I've been in my share of fights. I've never won a single one. 00:14:37.380 --> 00:15:04.040 I always lose. But that's the important thing, you know, is you can't be afraid to lose either. Right. I was going to ask you if you ever got a fight in a weight room. Like, hey, bro, that's my elliptical. No. Back off. Yeah. No, that's just not ethical, man. Well, you know, I heard there were several fights between band members during the recording session. So what happened? And have you guys settled your differences? 00:15:07.380 --> 00:15:37.340 you guys get your information from you know rumors are common there's a lot of rumors flying around a lot of rumors but uh you know rumors in the air like a thief in the night yeah yeah taking more than their share just like in just like any other band you know me we might occasionally be like but you're like fuck you shut up no no way man fuck off with that shit no you know but i mean it's it's 00:15:37.360 --> 00:16:07.280 It's normal. It's normal for that. It's part of the creative process, you know, to just. Yeah, we do that all the time on the podcast, right? I mean, yeah, you know, once in a while, I'm sure one of you guys might out of nowhere. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes John accidentally. Shut the fuck up. This is, this is my podcast. Motherfucker. You know, I do that all the time. Sometimes John accidentally wears ska pants and we get really mad at him. It's part of it. Yeah. Actually, no, I don't. 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:37.200 But you know, at the end of the day, you're all friends and you're a tight crew and that's all that matters. Right. So since we're talking about the EP and it's an EP and it only has five songs, I was thinking maybe we could go through each of the tracks real quick and you can just tell us a little about each one. And some of this stuff I've got here has already been touched on. And my first question about the album was like, 00:16:37.240 --> 00:17:07.220 What makes you guys so angry? Which I think we kind of covered that already, right? Yeah, well, I mean, shit. I mean, what doesn't make you angry? Really, there's so much to get fucking pissed off about in this fucking world. I mean, where to begin? You know, people, people full of shit, all of them, the fucking cell phones, people with their fucking cell phones. I don't even know how they fucking work. The things are like goddamn spaceships. Yeah, you know, and everybody's 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:37.220 They're always fucking around with their phones. They're always like, hey, look at my phone. Check this fucking thing out on my phone that I have here. And I'm like, get that fucking thing away from me. You got all this shitty music out there. The ska, the nu metal, the whatever. Fucking beavers. Yeah, the beavers. I haven't heard of them. You got people's fucking shitty attitudes. That's the one thing that pisses me off the most is if you got a shitty fucking attitude that is 00:17:37.260 --> 00:17:41.440 is just negative and it's just like woe is me oh my god 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:48.420 you know everything is bringing me down you know fuck that shit yeah you know i wanted a lot of 00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:54.300 shit to get pissed off about all the fucking bullshit yuppies computers fucking everything in the 00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:01.860 world is coronavirus it's just there to piss you off yeah i wanted how can you not get pissed off i 00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:31.820 I mean, if you're not pissed off, I think you have an anger problem. I was going to say, because, you know, despite how angry you come across, you also come across as a little bit hopeful. For example, on the first track, Absolute Punishment, you say, fuck that shit. You can rise above. You have the strength to pull yourself up. I got to say, I got a little tear-eyed. Yeah, that's what it's all about. You know, Fight School's music is, in the end, has a positive matter. 00:18:32.320 --> 00:19:00.580 You know, no matter how fucking pissed off you are, the world is full of shit. You know, sometimes the things it seems like everything is just fucking out to get you and bring you down. That's what you have to do. You can't let yourself be a victim to the bullshit. Don't be a victim. That sounds like a title, like a song from the next album right there. Don't be a victim to the bullshit. It's a lyric in the fight school music. Yeah. Maybe I missed that. All right. So, 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:27.540 I want to move on to the second track now. We've already covered this a little bit, but the second track is called Stack the Weights. And I assumed that based on these lyrics that you take personal fitness very seriously, but you say you're not that much of a weight lifter. Do you, I mean, but do you still like fitness? I mean, you know, or do you just, are you a fucking poser? I mean, do you fucking lift or what? Is it more of a metaphor? Is that a metaphor? 00:19:33.980 --> 00:20:01.840 That's one of those fuck your questions. That was supposed to instigate you. It did instigate laughter. It's, uh, shit. Try again. What was the question again? Are you a fucking poser? Do you lift weights? I lift a couple times a week, you know, it's, it's not like I was 00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:31.500 How often do you crush the weights? Two, three times a week, you know, I think is recommended. You got to give yourself a rest day in between for the muscle to rebuild. But I got to say, this is not fucking metal. This is not metal. You're like, I got to have rest days. I'm not a huge fucking person. That's very responsible. That question fucking sucks. All right. Well, this leads to my next question, which I think I already know the answer to now. 00:20:31.880 --> 00:21:00.720 was that can you actually bench the 350 pounds that you sing about? No, no, no, no, no. And, you know, Rhapsody doesn't actually ride dragons either. Fair enough. Fair enough. That's the thing. You know, the lyrics are just designed to get you fucking pumped. And, you know, Fight School's lyrics are there to make you feel invincible. You know, I'm not in the lyrics. We're not saying I lift. 00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:31.420 350 on the motherfucking bench. We're just saying. That's something to shoot for. On the motherfucking bench. That's your goal. You know, that's something that you can be capable of. That's fair. Put your motherfucking mind to it, you know. Right. So I wanted, and maybe, maybe since you're a pussy that doesn't lift weights much, but does it enrage you when fucking posers don't rack their weights after they're set? They just leave that shit on the bar like nobody else wants to crush weights? Yeah. 00:21:31.580 --> 00:22:01.220 That's fucking rude, man. It's rude, but you know, a lot of the shit people do is rude. And you just can't let it get to you. You know, if you're a fucking asshole, then just get the fuck out of my way. That's my philosophy. Yeah, yeah. All right. Okay, well, I think I have like one more weightlifting question. What's your stance on steroids? Don't you think it's kind of like weak poser bullshit? 00:22:01.580 --> 00:22:31.160 with the shrunken testicles that got to do that shit? Yeah, roids are absolutely bullshit. I think all drugs are bullshit, actually. Anybody who uses roids is just a fucking wimp. Wait, so you guys like straight edge hardcore? No, not necessarily, but if you're using drugs to cheat to get to a certain goal, then that's fucking bullshit. And you should just go fucking, 00:22:31.560 --> 00:23:01.540 Jump into a volcano or something. Go kill yourself in a motherfucking volcano. That's what you should do. If you're shooting roids or whatever, if you're juicing, juicing up. You know, you guys juice. You juice. Juice. I like high C. I like go jump in a fucking volcano. Juicing. You know, that's a slang term for steroid use. It's also something people do to lose weight. It's bullshit. 00:23:01.580 --> 00:23:03.100 Juice. They only drink juice. 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:05.760 What? 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.460 They like to put shit in a blender and they juice it and then they drink it. 00:23:10.580 --> 00:23:11.340 Like vegetable juice? 00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:13.620 It's technically not drugs, but it's still kind of stupid. 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.040 This podcast is starting to get weird. 00:23:17.540 --> 00:23:17.960 Ah, man. 00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:19.600 It's all about metal. 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:20.960 Nothing to do with juicing. 00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:22.220 Of any kind. 00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:26.520 Why, you guys got some roids? 00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.560 No, man. 00:23:28.300 --> 00:23:29.140 Why, you want them if we did? 00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:30.240 No. 00:23:30.960 --> 00:24:00.380 See, I think we just stumbled across a little bit of, I'm a fundamentalist preacher, but I like boys. I'm against drugs, but if you have some, I'll take it. Well, that would make a good sound clip, wouldn't it? All right. The next song is Not Without a Fight. Are people always trying to bring you down? Every motherfucking day, people are trying to bring me down. I mean, let's face it. 00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:29.380 The second you step out into this fucking world, you know, you're just dealing with everybody's goddamn bullshit. And Not Without a Fight is a song about bullying, actually, which is, you know, something that I feel really strongly about. And, you know, if you ever had to deal with bullies when you were growing up, you know, I'm sure you can relate. This song is for those people. It's for the fucking underdog. And it's telling them not to fucking give up. 00:24:29.800 --> 00:24:59.660 And no matter what bullshit comes your way, no matter who gives you shit, that you shouldn't back down and you shouldn't give up without a fucking fight. I like that. I like that a lot. So what's Butch Marino's personal recipe for success and surviving? Success and surviving? Just don't give up, man. It's that simple. Like no matter what it is you're doing, whether it's podcasting or making albums or lifting, 00:25:00.300 --> 00:25:08.340 or fighting or training to fight or training to lift weights, training to be on a podcast, training to have a podcast or training to podcast. 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:13.880 You just you need to just not fucking give up no matter what it is that you're doing. 00:25:14.820 --> 00:25:17.920 You just need to say your mind to it, not give up. 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:20.320 Don't ever let anybody bring you down. 00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:22.800 And there will be a lot of naysayers on the way. 00:25:22.800 --> 00:25:23.980 There always will be. 00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:28.040 There always will be those fucking people that are like, you can't fucking do this. 00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:29.280 You're a piece of shit. 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:59.400 You got nothing on this. You're never going to amount to nothing. But they're full of shit. Fuck those people. Fuck them. Don't ever let them bring you down. And that's what this song is about. So basically Fight School is the hardcore version of Eye of the Tiger. Yeah. It's a great song. Yeah. So kids, you too can one day have a glorious podcast just like this. That would make a really good 00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:29.360 I have the motherfucking tiger. Yeah. All right. Um, I'm going to do that now, actually. Now that that's a fucking great idea. I'm going to do it. So the next song, there's two songs, like a few weeks. Okay. So there's two songs left. And speaking of surviving, the next one is called survivor die. It sounds like a New York, uh, must have more than its fair share of bullshit that people have to put up with. Cause, uh, 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:59.380 All right, well, so what inspired this one? It does, and that's why I avoid going into the city pretty much all the time. But Survivor Die is a similar theme as the last song. It's about the shit in life that brings you down. And this song, Survivor Die, in particular, is about, you know, just like you have to do whatever it takes in order to just get by in day-to-day life. 00:26:59.420 --> 00:27:29.160 And usually that for most of us, that means working some bullshit nine to five job. That's a load of shit. We have to suck up to a bunch of assholes and put up with a bunch of piece of shit customers all day, you know, and they're fucking bullshit. And you have to listen to their mother fucking crap and bullshit and shit all fucking day. And it's a matter of survival. At the end of the day, you got to make that fucking paycheck. You have to make things happen. You have to pay the fucking rent. You got to go home at the end of the day. 00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:33.500 But you can't stay here 00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:36.020 It's just to get you pumped up 00:27:36.300 --> 00:27:37.800 And just be like 00:27:38.170 --> 00:27:39.160 Do whatever it takes 00:27:39.210 --> 00:27:41.380 Just survive or fucking die 00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:41.900 Nice 00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:44.320 Alright so the last track 00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:46.020 Is called Fight You 00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:47.600 And I wanna know 00:27:47.780 --> 00:27:50.300 If we were in the same room right now 00:27:50.580 --> 00:27:51.400 Would you fight me? 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:54.420 That depends 00:27:54.540 --> 00:27:55.820 What are we in a fight over? 00:27:56.270 --> 00:27:56.680 I don't know 00:27:56.690 --> 00:27:57.600 The remote control? 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:28.780 Crackers in bed? I don't know, man. Those are small things. I think those can be worked out with some reasoning. What if I tried to make you put on checkerboard clothing and play ska music? I'd be like, dude, come on. Just come on. Come on, man. That's fighting words. I would like to play dress-up, by the way. I would be prepared to fight in that event. Would you be prepared to fight a magical bear with scalding hot liquid cheese spraying from its eye sockets? What? I know. 00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:56.480 What the fuck is that? I want some of whatever this guy is on. Roads! Yeah! That's fucked up, man. Whoever thought of that shit. So, what makes you someone with whom I should not fuck? To quote your lyrics. I'll tell you what. I think George is asking you to get on Grindr, by the way. 00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:27.180 Well, particularly the phrasing that you are someone with whom I should not fuck. It's because I'm not afraid to lose. That's what it is. And whether you're in a fight or a fucking job interview or you're going to the gym or you're going to the fucking grocery store or you're going to the fucking dentist or whatever, like you can't be afraid of failure. 00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:56.460 And that's what it is. That's why I'm not. That's what that's what should make anybody on fuck with the bull. I'm fuck with that. That that you're just not afraid to fucking lose. And, you know, you're not afraid to take a punch, whether it's an actual punch or a metaphysical punch. Yeah. Or a metaphysical punch or just like any type of failure. You can't be afraid to get beat down because, you know, you'll get right the fuck back up. 00:29:56.560 --> 00:30:26.400 Oh, I'm not afraid. I run this podcast. I know all about failure. Those are the people you don't want to fuck with. The ones that aren't afraid to lose, that have nothing to lose. Exactly. But I mean, can unfuckwithable be a song title maybe? I mean, that's really important. I think unfuckwithable is album title territory. Yeah. Right on. I mean, talk about kicking grammar in the face. Fight grammar in the face. That's pretty fucked up if you're going to kick your grandma in the face. 00:30:26.540 --> 00:30:55.360 I don't know about that. Fight school versus grammarly. Oh, grammar. Okay. I thought you were talking about kicking your grandma in the face. I was like, man, my grandma. No, my grandma. She makes good lasagna. I'm not kicking my grandma in the face. That's fucked up. Yeah. Fucking shut up, man. Jeez. This is definitely not one I can listen to with my kids in the car. Yeah. Yeah. 00:30:56.560 --> 00:30:57.400 All over this one. 00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.340 So child protective services. 00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:06.700 Butch, can you talk about some of your influences, both musically and non-musically? 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:09.760 Musically and non-musically? 00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:10.600 Yeah. 00:31:10.820 --> 00:31:11.940 Yeah, like Gandhi or something. 00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.160 You know, like cinder blocks could be an influence. 00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:23.120 Yeah, if you're talking about non-musical influences, I'm personally, I'm really influenced by Gordon Ramsay. 00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:53.240 Okay, I can see the way. I get that. I get that. I get it. Absolutely. Yeah. You know, celebrity or not, I really admire his honesty. Yeah. Yeah. His just fucking honesty. And he's just cuts straight through the goddamn bullshit and tells you what the fuck is up. And I think that's really cool. This dish is fucking garbage. That's pathetic. Yeah, it is. And it is. I wouldn't feed this to my dog. 00:31:54.380 --> 00:32:24.340 Yeah, this food looks pretty good. Meat is rare. I mean, not that I'm against eating rare meat, but I mean. Yeah, I like when he finds the moldy food in the fucked up restaurants and shit and he yells at him for it. I think that's awesome. I'd love to do that. So, you know, that's and, you know, I read his biography and everything. Dude is really influential to me personally. So what about those musical influences? 00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:53.840 So, musical influences, you know, going way back, you know, a lot of death metal. You know, I'm into, you know, growing up as a little kid, really like Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Carcass, stuff like that. And, you know, later in like the later 90s, started getting into hardcore stuff, you know, like Hatebreed, crossover shit, like DRI and all that stuff. 00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:24.040 The DRI is cool. Well, now that you have an EP under your weightlifting belt, can we expect you to get bigger and more jacked with a full length at some point? Yeah, I mean, I think so. The EP has sold four copies right now. So, you know, we're sitting on 16 bucks. That's looking pretty sweet. I just bought it. So you're up to five. Probably invest in, you know, 00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:52.660 a full-length album at some point. The EP came together real quick, so who knows what the fuck is in store. Spring 2021, Unfuckwithable. Unfuckwithable. I'll use that album title. That's great. That's good stuff. I'll credit all five of you guys with that, too. That's hot shit. So, have you guys been playing any shows? And if so, 00:33:54.160 --> 00:34:24.100 Does the crowd get really pumped up when you guys are playing these songs? It's tough. You know, we all live pretty far apart from each other. You know, the guys will usually get together, work on songs, and, you know, I got about a two-hour drive to go, you know, before we can get together and rehearse. So, you know, it's rough, man, but, you know, it's mostly small shows, you know, VFW, stuff like that. Right, hardcore kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. You know, we're open to 00:34:24.120 --> 00:34:54.100 to break through to bigger and better things one of these days. But shit is tough right now. I was going to ask if you have any trouble or even concerns about booking gigs right now because of the coronavirus thing going on. Just today, the South by Southwest Festival was canceled, and we're hoping our Decibel Fest is okay next month. Are you experiencing any... 00:34:54.120 --> 00:35:24.080 Any, like, difficulty in booking shows? Well, first of all, fuck coronavirus. Fuck it up. It's fucking goddamn ass. Piece of shit. Dumb motherfucking virus. Fucking everything up. Fucking up air travel. Fucking up. Every time I look at my goddamn fucking phone, it's coronavirus this, coronavirus that. I'm fucking sick of hearing about it. Fucking, it can just go fucking die. And, you know, if everybody just fucking dies from coronavirus, 00:35:25.560 --> 00:35:54.100 I'll be glad because that'll mean I won't have to fucking hear about it one more fucking day. I'm just really fucking sick of it. And, uh, yeah, for sure. Uh, you know, fuck that shit. I'm sorry to get mad, but it's, uh, yeah, there's a lot of anchor about this going on right now, stressing everybody out. And you know, it's, it's canceling shows and everything. It's affecting the scene and we don't like that. And, uh, you know, when you, when you go to the gym, of course, you have to, you know, 00:35:54.140 --> 00:36:01.640 have to touch everything that all these fucking people have touched and they never fucking wipe it down you know i know i 00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:06.680 fucking see that all this shit all the time i like i'm at the gym and i watch people and they get done and 00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:11.360 they fucking finish and they walk away and they didn't and i'm like are they going to get a wipe no they 00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:24.100 don't come back and i'm like you fucking suck at the gym or something else charge yeah i hate that someone finishes on you and they don't go get a wipe i mean that's pretty bad it's disgusting wash your motherfucking hands for 20 seconds hot 00:36:24.140 --> 00:36:53.160 water, soap, you know, use a paper towel, you know, don't wipe them on your fucking face. But, you know, after watching, you know, somebody like eat Chex Mix off the fucking table at a fucking airport, I'm not surprised how it spreads so quickly. You know, people are so fucking stupid. It blows my mind every fucking day. Shouldn't be called coronavirus. Should be called natural selection. It should be called dumb motherfucker virus. Seriously. Coronavirus. 00:36:54.699 --> 00:37:24.060 Fuck you motherfucker. All right. So we're going to move on to Will's lightning round. So Butch, I'm assuming you've not listened to this podcast, but I liked every now and again when we have a special guest, I do this thing called the lightning round. I will ask you a question. It's like A or B. It's like cats or dogs. You just have to pick one and you have to pick one. Weights are fighting. I have to go into a big explanation. Just pick one. So I'll say cats and dogs.

Ape Ass Rape, zero good songs. By the way, that last answer was wrong. 00:40:54.120 --> 00:41:23.760 Fair enough. Oh my. That may have been the slowest lightning round we did. It was more like a light switch round. Speaking of which, I almost fucking got hit by lightning the other day. Look who you're talking to. I went out for a walk and it was like, oh, it might rain later. And I was like, okay, I got some time. I'll go for a walk. It's dark and everything. And I'm listening. I don't know what I was listening to. Something. 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:52.360 Probably Lady Gaga. No, no, it was something for today, for, you know, something for the episode. So it was something loud and, you know, I had my headphones on. I couldn't hear anything. And all of a sudden, all of a sudden the world went white. And I was like, what the? And I like, I like. Have you seen your neighborhood? No, I mean like everything. Like not, not like, like somebody like lit up the day. Like everything was just completely white. And I was like. I've been hit by lightning in a car. But I was walking. 00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:03.560 und ich habe mich mit der Halt und ich habe die Hecht. 00:42:26.560 --> 00:42:31.720 the lightning for whom the bells toll came on and right away just by the 00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:36.160 beginning of the song my son who's six knew dad that's for whom the bells tolls i'm like 00:42:36.520 --> 00:42:41.060 fuck yeah nice parenting he knew it wasn't hell's bells 00:42:42.600 --> 00:42:49.840 always good you should do a thing where you play one or the other and you have to guess with whether it's hell's bells 00:42:49.840 --> 00:43:19.020 Yep. Test them. You know, I do that in the car with my kids all the time. Like I just, we basically listen to like a lot of Ozzy's Boneyard. And then, you know, they play a lot of the big four, Black Sabbath and all that stuff. And then I have this button I can push that I can turn the screen off on the car because obviously in newer cars now that if you have Sirius XM will come up and it'll tell you that the artist and the song. So I have to turn that off because my daughter can read. She's nine and my son is learning to read. He's six. 00:43:19.340 --> 00:43:19.900 So it's like, 00:43:23.579 --> 00:43:24.400 so I turn it off. 00:43:24.490 --> 00:43:24.740 I'm like, 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:24.960 okay, 00:43:25.060 --> 00:43:25.440 what is this? 00:43:25.450 --> 00:43:26.140 And sometimes I'm like, 00:43:26.240 --> 00:43:26.360 okay, 00:43:26.460 --> 00:43:31.820 if you guess this band and the album or the song and the band and the album, 00:43:32.180 --> 00:43:35.080 then like we'll have ice cream for breakfast or something like that. 00:43:35.460 --> 00:43:36.380 They're getting pretty good at it. 00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:37.320 Nice. 00:43:38.720 --> 00:43:40.020 Fucking ice cream for breakfast. 00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:41.060 Yes. 00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:42.820 All right. 00:43:43.060 --> 00:43:45.800 Any more questions for Butch before we begin? 00:43:46.700 --> 00:43:47.880 I'm fucking inspired. 00:43:50.220 --> 00:44:16.960 Does that mean you have a question or not? No, just a statement. Okay. Good, because I have no answers. This is Satan, and when I'm not busy tormenting the souls of the damned, I tune in to the Metal Heads podcast, and so should you. Fuck. 00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:47.860 All right, so before we get into the new releases, I have been reminded we need to do a shirt and beer check. So we'll start with Markisan and work our way up. Okay, well, I'm wearing a Megaton Sword shirt. I've talked about this band a couple times over the last couple casts. They put on an EP last year that I really like. And I'm drinking Stone Viking Space Probe Double IPA. 00:44:49.260 --> 00:45:17.160 Which is quite good. I never heard of it before, but I found it in the store. It's very, it's like orange almost. It's really awesome. Juicy. Matt, what do you got? I've got a death shirt on, no explanation needed. And I am switching between a Surly Abrasive, which is one of their flagship double IPAs, to some mead. I've got a Brimming Horn, Eighth Labor of Hercules. 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:47.920 Cherry Mead aged in oak barrels for three months. It tastes quite lovely. Mead. Mm-hmm. And he just can come over at any point. So, shirt check, I'm wearing DSO, Diablo Swing Orchestra. Nice. Maybe George's the only person who knows that, but it's still a cool shirt. Yeah, no good stuff. Yeah, there he is, too. And I'm drinking, George mentioned that Will needed 00:45:47.960 --> 00:46:17.920 to drink coffee tonight and then mentioned beer and he said beer coffee beer coffee and i decided to combine them both i'm drinking perennial artisan ales barrel aged sump 2018 it's a barrel aged stout made with sump coffee let's see it john i've had that one you want to see the bottom right or glass either one i thought you meant something else you wanted to see some look at that that's one of my 00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:47.760 I've had it. So good. Look at how big that bottle. It's a big black bottle. Look at that. I like the black ones. It fits in your hand so well. Really, the light hits it well. I'm a professional. I need it one hand. Yeah. Excuse me. Earlier, I was drinking a six-point resin double IPA. So six-point, you may know them. 00:46:47.960 --> 00:47:17.620 Mario, they're from, or Butch, sorry, Butch. Mario. Marino, Mario. What's the difference? Yeah. Butch Mario. Hey, Luigi. Some fucking Italian guy over here, whatever. Don't need to break these blocks, huh? What am I doing? Fuck cannolis. What is this, a mushroom? Your name could be Mario. I like cannolis. I do too. 00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:47.920 Who's this guy with the turtle shell? Bruce Mario does not like cannolis at all. Fuck him. Anyway, I was taking a six-point resin, and now I am drinking a Boulevard Tank 7. I like Tank 7. Tank 7's a good style of beer. I'm wearing an Ukiyaru shirt. We interviewed some dude a long time ago named 00:47:47.940 --> 00:48:17.880 Keith from this band Unearthed Elft. And at one point he was just like, hey, you know, somebody asked him about like other groups that he's familiar with in the Wisconsin area. And he told us about Ukiyaru and I'm kind of like a friend of the guys. I've sponsored their tour and I bought their t-shirt. We even know their masturbation techniques. Pre-show techniques. Sorry. That's what I meant. Pre-show preparation. Yeah, I didn't say that at all. 00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:45.680 I like the unearthed elf a lot, but that elf guy really needs to hit the gym. I don't know if you've seen pictures of that guy, but. Fuck. It's like Orlando fucking Bloom with like no balls. It's a fucking elf. Have you seen the picture of Orlando Bloom surfing or paddleboarding with his pants off? Yeah, it's a dude who dressed up an elf. Hey man, Katy Perry's pregnant now. 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:52.260 We're in the conversation, George. 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:53.720 Why didn't you know that? 00:48:55.740 --> 00:48:57.360 She's engaged to Orlando Bloom. Hello. 00:48:57.940 --> 00:48:58.360 Is she really? 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.300 What are you fucking reading People Magazine or something? 00:49:02.200 --> 00:49:02.840 No, I have a wife. 00:49:03.010 --> 00:49:03.560 Entertainment Weekly? 00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:06.280 Tonight on Tiger Beat Podcast. 00:49:07.100 --> 00:49:09.060 I literally was just going to do a pants check. 00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.340 No, that will be next episode. 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:15.740 The pants check? 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:16.440 The pants check. 00:49:16.620 --> 00:49:16.980 Oh, hey. 00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:45.080 But I assume we all say no.

He's hitting the bottle directly. He's like, fuck the glass. That's a killer angle. You need a new one, buddy. The bottle's empty. 00:49:47.380 --> 00:50:16.340 So we didn't ask our guests. Wait, it didn't even get to me. I think I'm after. Well, you should guess first. No, it goes. He goes last because Mark's. Oh, go ahead. Skip me. Skip me. I don't care. Skip me. Mario. He likes it awaits, huh? This is Mario Kaur. I'm looking for a princess. Where is she? I got the spice and meatball for you. I'm offended. I got two of those. 00:50:19.520 --> 00:50:46.160 They look like a duck, but they get the turtle shells. What is this? My middle name is Antonio. So much. So what am I wearing? I'm wearing the latest from the Thrasenblatt fashion line. And there was some bells, two hearted, but no. Did they open up a big atas store or something? Yeah. 00:50:47.400 --> 00:51:15.360 There's the Iron Maiden, Sun and Steel. A couple of those. It's okay. Among other things. Yeah. All right. Butch, what you imbibing? I can see that you're wearing a black T-shirt, so you're not wearing anybody. Yeah, you know, I keep freaking out because I see myself in the computer screen. And I'm going to be showing my age here a little bit. 00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:47.360 I keep thinking I see Wayne from Wayne's World. Do you know him being from Aurora? Yeah, there's that. I don't know if there's any relation, but I'm wearing a black T-shirt and a New York Yankees cap and, you know, just the black T-shirt and the black hat with the white, you know, lettering on it. I keep seeing this pixelated version of it in the computer. You're like a cat that sees itself in the mirror. You're like, oh! Yeah, I keep thinking that it looks like fucking Wayne from 00:51:47.400 --> 00:52:16.720 Wayne's World is fucked up. It does kind of look like that. Party on, Garth. Yeah, you know. Came on. Yeah, I'm sorry to disappoint anybody that, but, you know, not everyone who plays hardcore music is straight edge, and that includes me. You know, I like to let loose once in a while, and I've just drank an entire bottle of wine. What kind of wine? It's called Educated Guests, and it's a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The good stuff. 00:52:16.940 --> 00:52:46.420 Now I sound like a snob. But it's really good. And it's under $20 a bottle. And, you know, it's not really something you drink when you're, you know, smashing chairs against the wall or whatever. But you can smash that bottle. Yeah, I could. But, you know, even I like to mellow out once in a while. So, you know, whatever. There it is. If you don't like, go fuck yourself. 00:52:47.880 --> 00:53:16.760 He's verbally smashing us on the podcast. I could feel it. And then, you know, I'm I really like just classic beers. So I'm just having some Samuel Smith lager from England there. You know, I like British beer and German beer and shit like that. I don't drink a lot, but, you know, on a special occasion, I will, you know, smash an entire bottle of wine and fuck up a bunch. 00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:42.800 of English beer. And if anybody doesn't like it, they can fucking kiss my ass. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. I get that. Yeah. I totally do. Fuck that shit. All right. Well, I guess now we can move on to the news. Mm hmm. So long as nobody's got a problem with moving along to the news. I don't have a problem. You got a problem? No, no, I'm good. I'm pretty OK. 00:53:56.320 --> 00:54:14.640 No chairs were harmed in the making of this episode, by the way. Or ladders or anything else you might find in a cage match. A table. Sounds like a tables, ladder and chairs match. Some TLC. Don't go chasing waterfalls. 00:54:16.940 --> 00:54:46.120 I have done that here actually. So I'm super excited about this first item. Oh my god. It's a holiday. Yeah. So finally at long last the new Carcass album has been given a release date and a name. Wait, wait, wait, wait for it. Wait. Hey, so the new Carcass album is called Torn Arteries. Which is fucking metal. 00:54:46.920 --> 00:55:16.880 And it is out on August 7th. Unfortunately, we'll all be dead by then from the coronavirus, but at least our corpses can enjoy it. I probably have it, and I'm working through it. Well, yeah, two things on this. First, I read that Torn Arteries is an homage to former drummer Ken Owen and his ongoing company since he had that brain hemorrhage in 99. And apparently he created this fictitious band called Torn Arteries and recorded tracks by himself, banging on boxes and screaming into the microphone. Oh, man, that's sad. 00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:46.520 I love that the band wanted to honor him by naming the album after that. And then the second thing is that Torn Arteries is scheduled to be released the day after my birthday. But as you guys know, I am many, many hours behind all the mainland time zones. So it's actually going to be dropping on the sixth for me. And I can't ask for a better birthday gift than that. No, just take Jay's approach and make your birthday whenever you want it to be. Yeah, that's true. I could do that. It rotates. It's the fourth. It's the fifth. 00:55:46.940 --> 00:56:16.860 I don't know who fucking cares. Floater. Floater. I wanted to move back to something there real quick because Matt said something interesting to me. Do you are you sick Matt because you were in Italy. I wasn't I am not sick. Okay. I mean technically doesn't mean that I don't have it. It just means I'm not sick. Yeah. All right. Well because my brother was just in Seattle for a job interview and he was in the building across the street from the guy that was sick and he came home from Seattle. 00:56:16.940 --> 00:56:46.820 and he now has flu symptoms. I don't know. Well, and that's the thing. It's fucked up because we were in Italy when they shut down all those cities. And while I was not in those cities, I took a train to Milan. And then from Milan, we took a cab to the airport hotel, the Milan airport, about 45 minutes northwest. So I was not around any of anything that's going on. But my brain is like, you know, for like, 00:56:46.920 --> 00:57:16.900 probably the first two or three days as that was happening I'm like oh my god I have a fever what is this is my chest you know am I coughing am I doing this and of course none of those things happened my wife and I had we had separate thermometers we kept taking our temps we were fine and I'm still fine I'm Monday will be two weeks for me but it's fucking crazy when you start to think about it you know when you've been in those areas and things like honestly you've had that thermometer in your butt for two weeks yeah it's time to deck it out yeah like every time I cough it falls out and I have to put it back in 00:57:16.900 --> 00:57:46.860 It's like, son of a bitch, it's so warm. And save it, we'll allot that. Yeah, exactly. No, it's, strangely, what I was thinking more about was when you were talking about the music you hear at a gym. I was in Venice at a gym, and it was shitty American dance music. And it's like, how do you expect me to get any burn out of this? You know, like, let's throw something good on. Wait, why the fuck were you, is there a gym in Venice, and why the fuck were you on this? 00:57:46.920 --> 00:58:16.840 in a gym in Venice. Because I work out when I'm on holiday. I work out every day of my life. Yeah. Usually I work out if I'm traveling, I work out at the hotel gym, but the hotel didn't have a gym. So we had to go to an actual gym in Venice. So they have a Planet Fitness in Venice? They do not. They don't even have cars in Venice. It sounds like Matt should replace Butch in Fight School. Has the philosophy. He definitely is way less. 00:58:19.180 --> 00:58:45.060 You don't even need a gym. You can just do body weight exercise. Just let me be the sound guy. Just lift yourself. I'll work the merch booth for fight school. There you go. But that coronavirus is crazy because I had a convention here in Hawaii and we heard rumblings of people coming here and might have it. And there's a lot of people who are coming from different areas. And I did get sick after the show. And I was a little bit worried about it. 00:58:46.920 --> 00:59:16.860 Second guess everything. Mark is on. That's called a hangover. Like I told you guys, I had like a runny nose when I went and I still have that runny nose. And like when we got home, I had a little bit of a scratchy throat. Have you seen the size of that nose? I mean, shit probably just leaks out of it. Dude, I have to have, like most people use a Kleenex. I use a towel. Okay. Just to sop that out. Somewhere Jay is going, you know. Exactly. But like, we, like our flight from Italy to New York was $9. 00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:46.700 10 hours. New York to home is three hours. Like when you do that, you do not feel good. But yet you question now like, oh, do I have the coronavirus or did I just travel for 12 hours? You know? And so. Even I was just questioning last week. I thought I was like, I was like, wait, maybe I've already had it. Because I was, I, I, uh, I was watching a video about a guy who was saying, yeah, I, I, I was fine. And then all of a sudden I got really warm. And then I had like this fever spike for like a day and a half. And then I was fine. 00:59:46.720 --> 01:00:16.260 And I was like, wow, last week I totally had a sore throat for two days. I had a fever for two days. And then I was better. I was like, wait, maybe I already had it. I'm good. And honestly, that's a possibility. I mean, from what I've read, you know. But, you know, by the time this episode comes out, everybody's going to be dead anyway. So who cares? Right. So. So new carcass on August 7th. I am legend. Thank you, John. So Butch. 01:00:16.340 --> 01:00:46.220 Yeah, there we go. It got real dark over there. I thought maybe New York succumbs to the virus. The rolling blackouts and shit. All right. Yeah, so moving on to item number two. This is also kind of interesting to me. Yes. Max and Igor Cavalera are going to do a Return Beneath Arise tour featuring songs from Beneath the Remains and Arise, the two best fucking simple tour albums. 01:00:46.320 --> 01:01:16.000 They are. Yes. I mean, I'd throw some Chaos AD in there, you know, a little We Who Are Not As Others, you know, but definitely the two best albums from Sepultura, who have not released an album since Roots, as far as I'm fucking concerned. Well, yeah. Have you heard Roots? There's a lot of new metal in that. I'm not surprised. Well, I don't like that one either, but it's still a Sepultura album. But my first Sepultura album was Beneath the Remains, and that fucking blew me away. 01:01:16.340 --> 01:01:46.300 That is the shit. I fucking love Beneath the Remains. Arise is good. If I can just pipe in the fucking Arise is like the most important heavy metal album to me. When I used to work in a record store in Aurora and when in the mid 90s early 90s or so when I saw Arise I bought 01:01:46.320 --> 01:02:16.140 it solely based on the album cover. I saw the album cover and I was like, what the fuck is this? That's the thing from Conan the Barbarian. No, man. It's totally the fucking trash compactor monster from Star Wars. It's unbelievable. I still think it's one of the best fucking album covers ever made. It's by Michael Whalen. It's an amazing artist. Seriously? He's the fucking dude that does all the Moorcock stuff? Yeah. Michael Whalen, he also did the Beneath the Remains art and also, 01:02:16.340 --> 01:02:17.980 Cause of death for obituary. 01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:18.480 Huh. 01:02:18.980 --> 01:02:21.860 He illustrated Stephen King's Dr. Tower. 01:02:22.120 --> 01:02:22.440 Yeah. 01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:24.480 Same artist, man. 01:02:24.720 --> 01:02:32.300 But when I saw that album come in the store, I was like, dude, I don't know what the fuck this is, but I got to take it home. 01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:33.940 And so I got it. 01:02:33.940 --> 01:02:37.860 And that's the album that got me into like more extreme metal. 01:02:38.000 --> 01:03:06.120 You know, back then I was listening to, you know, like Alternative and, you know, fucking Thrash and other stuff, but I'd never heard anything like that before. When I picked that album up, it changed everything for me. It was a game changer. I still listen to it all the fucking time. So to hear that album just, you know, with the vocals of Max Cavalera is really important. We shall arise. 01:03:07.420 --> 01:03:37.200 I got a funny story about Arise. So it was last week, my kids in the after school program, they have this little miniature pool table. So the kids all love playing this like little tiny pool. Is it a bumper pool? No, it's actually, it's like a pool table, but it's just like one quarter of the size, super tiny with small, small balls, small sticks. It's like John, right? We got it. Yeah. But anyway, so I decided like, 01:03:38.300 --> 01:04:07.320 I'm going to take the kids to a real bar that has a pool table. So I looked it up and there's a super cheesy bar in Old Town Alexandria. So I took it to call the Rocket Grill. And when we walked in, Sepulthor Arise was playing. And you have to, like, it's kind of hard to explain. I'm not going to go into a big, long story. This place is like super notoriously cheesy. It's karaoke bar. They used to have super bad commercials on TV that everyone just like made fun of. 01:04:07.420 --> 01:04:37.380 I was like, just think of like, these are the commercials that would come on if you're watching Judge Judy in the afternoon and you're local, like, you know. As one does. Yeah, so I walk in, I'm like, I'm singing, like singing along to Arise. I'm like, what? I'm in like a freak zone, kind of like, and then this woman comes up who works there and she's like, sorry, you know, you have to be 21 to be in the pool hall area. I'm like, well, it's four o'clock afternoon, like on a Monday. 01:04:37.420 --> 01:05:07.360 There's nobody here. She's like, oh, okay. And I said, I said, you know, where is Sepulthore Arise playing from? She's like, that jukebox, I put it on. So I got this big, long conversation with this woman who's like, oh, yeah. She's like naming all these old school bands. Anyway, it was like, anyway, that's my, that's my ironic Arise story. And that's fucking cool. Badass. Yeah. So did she let you play? She's always making friends, Phil. Yeah. Did she let you play? Yeah, she, she let, 01:05:08.180 --> 01:05:37.340 my kids play. It was an epic failure because I didn't realize how heavy pull sticks are on the back end and how long they are for little kids and they can't control it because they can't get their hand back that far. That is a sound bite I am not making. Sorry, I didn't even think about that. But anyway. Right. We shall arise. We shall arise. All right. 01:05:37.420 --> 01:05:37.900 Next. 01:05:40.540 --> 01:05:43.340 So I thought this was pretty hilarious when I saw it. 01:05:44.500 --> 01:05:48.460 Black Sabbath keyboardist Adam Wakeman, son of Rick Wakeman, 01:05:49.500 --> 01:05:55.360 is releasing an album called Jazz Sabbath on April 10th, which is next month. 01:05:57.500 --> 01:05:58.880 Did anybody listen to any of this? 01:05:59.640 --> 01:06:01.920 There's like at least one song available right now. 01:06:03.160 --> 01:06:05.060 But the story behind it's crazy. 01:06:05.190 --> 01:06:07.220 Do you guys know about the story behind this thing? 01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:37.240 Yeah, it's like they made this whole backstory. Before I knew who it was, because Adam Wakeman is some other guy's name. The story is that this guy wrote all this music prior to the first Black Sabbath album. Milton Keynes, I think is. Yes, yes. And recorded this album of jazz music 01:06:37.260 --> 01:07:06.120 All these song titles that were the first album from Black Sabbath, and then through a series of unfortunate events, the album did not come out. They hit a massive heart attack. Yeah. And the label owner did something. Yeah. Well, he got released from the hospital. It was like the fucking Twilight Zone, because he finds out that Black Sabbath released these two albums, Canadian metal versions of what he claimed were the songs. 01:07:06.680 --> 01:07:35.820 But also, the label owner was in jail for insurance fraud because there was fire that started at the label and all the Jab's Sabbath albums were destroyed. And the masters were thought to be destroyed, too. But you fast forward to 2019 and there was a dude who bought the old building who finds the masters and they were actually misplaced in a basement vaults of the studio or something. So now... Is this an actual made up story? Is this a real story? It's a made up story. Yeah. 01:07:35.940 --> 01:08:04.340 So I'm reading this story going, okay, obviously somebody's having some fun with this. Oh my God, they're going to get the shit suit out of him by Black Sabbath. But then I found out that it was actually Adam Wakeman, Black Sabbath's keyboard player. So obviously the whole band is in on the joke and that's pretty fucking cool. Yeah. Cause there's a documentary they released too. And it features interviews with Black Sabbath, you know, Ozzy's in it, Motorhead, Ramones talking about the memories of Jazz Sabbath. 01:08:05.140 --> 01:08:33.259 How did they get Ramones? They're all dead. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they did it earlier, but that's what it says in the release. Wow. Well, I mean, you've got Marky Ramone still. Not an original Ramone, but a Ramone nonetheless. And then CJ and Richie. I saw that Richie has a tour, which Richie was like drummer on like one album or some shit. But anyway. It's so weird. 01:08:35.140 --> 01:09:05.000 It's pretty cool. I listened to, I think it was Iron Man is the one song that's released and I was like, okay. I mean, it didn't sound like Iron Man to me, so I don't know. But it could be interesting. I'm sure none of us are going to listen to it. Probably not. Something else that we're probably not going to listen to, Danzig is releasing the inevitable Danzig Sings Elvis on April 17th. 01:09:05.140 --> 01:09:34.259 Why? You know, back in the 80s, when the first Danzig album came out, I played Mother for my friend Vicky. I was in high school, and she was like, sounds like Elvis. And I was like, nah, man, it's fucking Danzig. But yeah, this was a trajectory that we were inevitably going to come across. 01:09:34.319 --> 01:10:04.260 And I can't wait to hear this. It's terrible. I used to love dancing when I was in high school. And now he's nothing but a hound dog now. Honestly, I've never been a fan of Elvis, but I once knew this guy, this guy that I recorded back in the day, 15, 20 years ago. God, I'm fucking old. I recorded an album for this guy and he was a huge Elvis fan. And he was like an acoustic singer songwriter kind of guy. 01:10:06.360 --> 01:10:34.300 He was a huge Elvis fan. He did Elvis stuff. And I was like, oh, maybe Elvis doesn't suck. I mean, Danzig has a good voice, but I mean, he put out that covers record, Skeletons, and it got banned. So I'm surprised he's even putting this out. And I believe that Skeletons record even had an Elvis song on it. You mean the album that ripped off a Bowie album cover? Yeah, it's just really bad. I just, I feel like Glenn Danzig just doesn't care. He has jumped the 01:10:36.900 --> 01:11:03.780 He just lifts weights and acts off 5'3". Wow. That was topical. Have you guys seen, I don't know if you've ever seen this, but there's a comic book out called Henry and Glenn Forever. And it's Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig. Oh my God. It's fucking awesome. It's one of the best things I read. I need to see this. They can have each other. 01:11:05.100 --> 01:11:32.980 It's really funny. It's super funny. Henry Rollins, of course, is fine with it, but Glenn Danzig is like... That's typical. Yeah, that's exactly how I'd expect it. Yeah, it's one of my favorite reads. It started as a series of comic strips, and then they eventually did a few longer stories, but they did a whole collected edition of it, too. That's really good. Is that on Amazon? Because I need to buy that shit. Yes. 01:11:34.340 --> 01:12:04.200 It's called Henry and Glenn Forever. And I think they have a hardcover of it too. Yeah. I'm all over that as soon as we're done. Maybe not even before we're done. Do it now. Yeah, I might. All right. So next one is not nearly as interesting, but I am looking forward to it. Warbringer will release their new album, Weapons of Tomorrow on April 24th, if we're all still alive by then. I don't know if anybody else is Warbringer fans, but I like these guys. 01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:33.840 And I've met the singer's name. I can't fucking think of his name. But I've met him. And he's a cool guy. And I listened to the first single, Firepower Kills. And it was pretty solid thrash. Yeah. But my new benchmark for speed metal is last year's Ink Culture album. So I'm really interested in seeing if any bands can get close to that. It's a pretty high bar. But, you know, I'd give it a listen. I thought that song was pretty good. Yeah. In terms of, like, new thrash. 01:12:34.340 --> 01:13:03.380 They look pretty good. All right. And then who thought it would happen given their farewell tour? But Deep Purple is releasing their new album, Whoosh, on June 12th, by which point we'll all be dead. Yeah, it's too bad Jay's not here because I know he's a man. Yeah, I totally put this on here for Jay and now Jay is not here. So as Jay, I'd be like, yeah, that's pretty good. I can't wait to hear it. I like that it's called Whoosh. Whoosh. 01:13:04.340 --> 01:13:33.880 They've had an album called Bananas. I love saying whoosh. It's probably the most versatile album in their catalog, according to them. There's probably going to be a Nike tie-in somehow. They even came up with a motto in the studio to reflect the fact that it's versatile. And the motto is, Deep Purple is putting the deep back into purple. So deep. I also really love the cover, which is clearly an astronaut being turned to ash. 01:13:34.340 --> 01:14:04.240 by the Thanos snap in Infinity War. Check it out. It's really cool. Nice. They sounded great live when we saw them. You know what I mean? Outside of Ian Gillen's voice is the only issue and that's only because he's 70 something years old not because he can't sing. No, they sounded great all things considered. So yeah, I'll listen to it. I mean, I like Deep Purple so. There's tracks available now. I thought they were pretty good. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. 01:14:04.320 --> 01:14:32.220 It's amazing that even though people don't talk about them like they used to because Richie Blackmore's gone, he's been gone for so long. How long has he been gone? The House of Blue Light? That was the last one? I think so, yeah. I mean, it's over, well over 20 some years, so. Over 30 years. Yeah, I guess, yeah. Well, the guitar work that I heard on the songs was really good in it. Oh, fucking Steve Morris. Steve Morris is fucking awesome. 01:14:34.340 --> 01:15:03.440 than that fucking prick, Richie Blackmore. He might be one of the best technical guitarists ever, you know, around in rock, so. I sent you guys a link to the Henry and Glenn. I saw that. Thank you. Thanks, dude. Thank you. You need it. You guys will love it. It makes me laugh out loud every time I read it. I'm all over that. And I'm all over this last news item, which I had no idea was coming. Mick Wall, Symptom of the Universe Black Sabbath book author. 01:15:04.320 --> 01:15:30.640 And Wendy Dio are finishing up a Dio autobiography for release next year. So apparently Dio was working on an autobiography when he died. And Wendy got with Mick Wall and like finished it up. And so we're going to have a book. Well, she said that Dio had been working on the book for more than two decades before he died. Yeah, yeah. 01:15:33.560 --> 01:16:03.060 with Rainbow. And then she found all these extra scribblings that he did that cover his life beyond that. So she's working with Mick Wall. They're researching interviews that Ronnie did during his life because they want to make sure the rest of the book is in his own words. Yeah. So yeah, I'm super excited for this. I know Jay will be too. Totally. Yeah. Wait, did you guys just get something interesting in the news? Yes. Where the fuck you been, dude? Everybody fucking went on a beer break. Oh, shit. Yeah. Have you listened? 01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:32.860 We're supposed to share the news all towards Will. I forgot about that. Yeah. But Dio, this is what I'm talking about. Yeah, man. I'm excited for that. Yeah, I can't wait to read that. All right, let's move on to the new releases. First up is the very first solo album from Biff Byford. 01:16:33.520 --> 01:17:03.500 For Will to Go Who's Biff Byford? Who the fuck is Biff Byford? Saxon. The singer for Saxon. They're this new band from England. Saxon. The album was called School of Hard Knocks. Saxon. Saxon. Saxon. Saxon. I fucking love you. All right. Likewise. I listened to some of those. It was pretty good. The guy's voice is amazing. It's not bad. You know. It's awesome. Yeah. I like Biff. It's really 01:17:03.540 --> 01:17:31.980 It's very varied, and it's amazing how good it sounds after all these years. Yeah. For a guy that just had, like, triple fucking bypass or some shit. Oh, the guy looks so old, but he can still sing. Yeah. Like, last summer, it was an issue for him. Yes. George, what did we see Saxon? Two years ago? Three years ago? Yeah, it was a priest, right? Yeah, he sounded awesome on the tour. Little did we know he was about to have a major heart attack. Yeah, I know. We saw him just in time. 01:17:34.660 --> 01:18:03.480 But yeah, no, it's not bad. Yeah, it sounds like what he's been doing for 40 years. Exactly. Which is fine by me, so. I mean, I thought there were songs that kind of reminded me of 80s hair metal, actually, like the hard knock song. Yeah, a little bit. But there's a lot of classic metal on there, too. Yeah. I heard the World's Collide song, and that was very classic metal, so I thought it was a good mix, actually. And he just has different vocal intonations for the song, so. 01:18:03.540 --> 01:18:33.400 So I was impressed. Yeah. For as long as he's been doing this, he's very solid, I guess. He's not a screecher, so he's been able to keep his voice as long as he has. Just because Jay isn't here, I want to say sax on. Yeah, that's what we were saying, sax on. Sax on. Sax on. Sax on. All right. Next up is the new album by Dark Fortress. 01:18:33.540 --> 01:19:03.040 called Spectres from the Old World. This is the German black metal band. It's their eighth album. But the singer is also in what band, John? Alkaloid. That's right. This is not an Alkaloid album, but it's still kind of cool. I tried to find this. I couldn't find this anywhere. Yeah, it's on a new label, so it's like on Spotify and YouTube shit sounding platforms. All right. 01:19:03.540 --> 01:19:33.480 Big Label 2 band campers is unfortunate. Yeah, it's on Spotify though well. I was okay with it. Yeah, I liked it. I mean, I started and I was like, oh, this is like typical black metal. No, it definitely got better. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I had the same reaction. George was like, oh boy. I was like, this is an alkaloid. This is not as, oh wait, it's not. But he sounds, he has a unique voice, which I think is kind of cool. 01:19:33.520 --> 01:20:03.480 Yeah, no, I dig it. Next up is the new Demons and Wizards album, creatively called Three. Honestly, I was not disappointed. Well, I was expecting to be disappointed. I almost didn't even listen to it. I was like, eh. It was okay. You know, I have a huge respect for Blind Guardian, but they have not done anything later. 01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:07.160 that I've liked, but I do like some Ice Earth. 01:20:07.980 --> 01:20:09.060 I like a lot of Ice Earth. 01:20:09.060 --> 01:20:10.060 Oh, yeah, of course, yeah. 01:20:10.560 --> 01:20:13.600 But I listened to this, and I was like, it's actually not bad. 01:20:14.400 --> 01:20:15.700 Okay, see, I was the other way. 01:20:15.710 --> 01:20:19.560 I was like, I like the first two albums much better than this one. 01:20:19.650 --> 01:20:20.580 Is this power metal? 01:20:21.500 --> 01:20:22.040 Kind of, yeah. 01:20:22.040 --> 01:20:22.700 I tried to look this one up. 01:20:22.710 --> 01:20:23.480 I couldn't find it either. 01:20:24.040 --> 01:20:25.960 Yeah, but it's not that kind of power metal, though. 01:20:26.300 --> 01:20:29.999 It's more, if you've, like, Ice Earth and Blind Guardian, it's not the gang singing. 01:20:30.710 --> 01:20:31.180 It's real power metal. 01:20:31.360 --> 01:20:32.340 It's real power metal, yeah. 01:20:33.180 --> 01:21:02.480 Which is just basically battle. Yeah. It's not bad. It's not as bad. It's better than I thought it was going to be. Yeah. I just, the first two are so much better. All right. Next up, we have Internal Rot, Grieving Birth. Second album from this Australian grindcore band. Now, I know Matt was into this, and I picked it up, too. Is this what the shitty album cover is, Some Girl? Yes. 01:21:03.180 --> 01:21:32.580 I was like, I'm trying to, I bought this and I'm trying to figure out who she is. Cause I recognize her. She looks familiar. Yeah. It looked like a clip out of a movie or something. Yeah. Yes. Spot on. Yeah. Uh, so we got to figure out who that is. It's like that dude, uh, what's the atmospheric black metal band or the black gaze as well. Like, so I'm about that guy who was like standing on the, uh, he's like on a cliff edge and he could see the ocean and stuff behind him and everyone just by ape shit over the, yeah. 01:21:33.160 --> 01:22:02.420 That's fucking... I don't know what it is, metal. You know, they lost their shit. Yeah. So he started just... He's posting all pictures of him in all different vacation spots. Yeah, I remember that. I don't remember who that is, but yeah. It's just... It's pissing every true... I would love to know. I can't remember who it is, but it was a big deal. I mean, every shitty... If you... Oh my God, this cover is... John, if you think of it, shoot that out. Yeah, I can't remember who it is. 01:22:03.160 --> 01:22:32.840 It's okay, Al, but it's not bad. Yeah, it was okay. Yeah, it's all right. The album cover pissed everybody off. Yeah. All right, next up is the new My Dying Bride album, The Ghost of Orion. This is their 14th album. That's crazy, 14 albums. It is. You know, I tried listening. We got the promo. I tried listening to this, and I did listen to it, but not closely. 01:22:36.260 --> 01:23:02.380 It's not perfect. It's not their best, but it's a decent album, though. And considering everything that they've gone through in the last couple of years, especially the lead singer with his daughter, I guess, getting sick. Which is a theme of the album. Yeah. And there's some spots on the album where I'm like, this is kind of wasted space. But then you realize what the album is about. And it's I'll be honest, I think Marcus and I were talking about this on the last podcast. 01:23:02.740 --> 01:23:32.280 We kind of like this one. The last two albums have been good. The previous few were not so good. I think this one's all right. It's fine. Yeah, it's good. If you like My Dying Bride, you'll like this album. It's nothing groundbreaking or new, but it's solid. It's a solid offering from My Dying Bride. There's a few songs where they have that kind of... We were talking about that... Was it Godheim or whatever? Gotham. Gotham, yes. 01:23:32.760 --> 01:24:02.300 It has a little bit of that mid-period stuff sound on this album, too, which is kind of nice. Yeah. The Gotham album is a lot better in this genre, for sure. I agree. But I'm not going to complain. I'm a fan of my Dying Bright. No, I enjoyed the album, to be honest. I really thought it was a decent album. And we'll have to give it more listens. Maybe it'll grow on me even more. Church, did we see them at Hogan? Oh, man. No. Did you guys see them? No. Oh, okay. No. I mean, not when I was in. 01:24:02.340 --> 01:24:31.400 You've been there like a million times. I've only been once. But it would have been the year with you and Neutrino and I'm trying to remember what solid band we watched. I mean, maybe they were there and I didn't see them because I missed a lot of bands. I'll go back and look at the schedule. You probably weren't there, Matt. You were probably lifting weights. You're damn right I was. Speaking of which, Butch looks like he is fucking asleep. He's like checked out. He's checked out. 01:24:31.520 --> 01:25:01.480 I need to get him back in. He's too busy breaking shit. Well, it's not exactly hardcore, but it is from New York. Pretty fucking heavy, too. So the next album, Tombs, Monarchy of Shadows, the questionably EP slash LP. You could totally put that on your list because I have a couple albums that are less and they're considered LPs and they're less than 01:25:02.780 --> 01:25:28.960 I consider it a full length. If Slayer's Raid of Blood is an LP, then this one is one too. It's 36 minutes long, but it's considered an EP. But listen, George, on Bandcamp, they used to have EP on it. Now they've taken that off. Right. Well, we physically spoke to Mike Hill last year at Decibel, and he said, we are releasing an EP. 01:25:30.320 --> 01:25:59.740 So it's an EP as far as I'm concerned. George, I think we will all give you permission to put it on your mid-year and year-end list, even though it used to say EP and now it does not. If you like it and you think it's long enough, then just put it in your mouth. I think it's long enough and I'll put it in my mouth. We're talking about tombs. Well, that's what I call it. I mean, it'll probably make my mid-year. I mean, I have no idea. So if I put, 01:26:00.320 --> 01:26:29.960 My mouth and I am I entombed? It's a witch. It's a witch. It floats. I think I had, a few of us had woad. Yeah, yeah. That was like 32 minutes long, that album. Yeah, but that's more than Rain and Blood, so it's legit. Yeah. You know what? I never even used Rain and Blood. I always use Van Halen as the bar because every album by them is like 29 minutes long. Yeah. 01:26:31.420 --> 01:26:59.520 All right. So we have three more new releases. Wait, did everybody like the tombs? I didn't. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's fucking great. Definitely better. Yeah. I liked it better than the last dollar. Yeah, I thought so. It rips. No clean vocals. Right. Well, nine. Unlike one of his favorite bands. Just later. I will bite my tongue. 01:27:00.320 --> 01:27:27.240 Well, you should be like a total big fan of No Clean Singing's website. All right. Next up. Sorry. Next up, we have. I don't have any idea of the pronunciation. You're fucking Trump. You're fucking Trump. I'm fucking Trump. He can't pronounce shit. 01:27:30.320 --> 01:27:30.380 there. 01:27:31.220 --> 01:27:31.620 Tulis. 01:27:32.140 --> 01:27:34.640 Is that the agreed upon pronunciation? 01:27:35.100 --> 01:27:35.440 Tulis? 01:27:36.040 --> 01:27:37.240 That's how I would say it, George. 01:27:37.700 --> 01:27:39.280 Old, old death. 01:27:40.180 --> 01:27:40.860 Sixth album. 01:27:41.240 --> 01:27:42.840 They're a Norwegian black metal band. 01:27:44.340 --> 01:27:45.200 It is what it is. 01:27:45.240 --> 01:27:45.400 It is. 01:27:45.880 --> 01:27:46.360 I like it. 01:27:46.480 --> 01:27:46.780 It's good. 01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:52.640 Yeah, I mean, I need more time with it, but I thought it was pretty good on the first listen. 01:27:53.040 --> 01:27:57.420 I know Trevor of Ashen Horde, friend of ours, is a big fan. 01:27:57.520 --> 01:27:58.340 You get a clean singing. 01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:29.580 Not on this album though. Is Trevor coming to Decibel? No, I don't think so. Oh, okay. I haven't heard anyway. I don't know. Nobody's coming to Decibel. It's fucking canceled. It's not canceled, you fuckfaces. I just told you. I know, but it will be. We're going. It will be. It will be. It's canceled, man. That's ridiculous. We're all going to be dead by April 2nd. Come on. South by Southwest was canceled because the city of Austin canceled it. It's not the promoters of South by Southwest. 01:28:30.900 --> 01:28:57.540 All the fucking breweries are gonna fucking cancel by next month. Oh my god. There's a lot of fucking cons that are getting canceled lately. God. We're all gonna be dead by April 2nd, Will. I died. Jeez. Well, if this is the end, let's just keep rolling and let's just do this fucking podcast. Let's fucking stack the weights and do this shit. Stack the fucking weights. 01:29:00.460 --> 01:29:26.820 Wait, I'm wrecked. Our guest told us every time we lose to get back fucking up and get this shit fucking going. Dude, Butch, what do you got for us? Oh, what? Yeah. Yeah. All right. She's tiny only just once a week. No, I like your attitude, man, though. That's true. You know, you got to you got to just pick this shit up and move it on. 01:29:31.540 --> 01:29:59.480 You got a eye of the tiger this fucking shit. Punch some fucking meat, man. Who wants to put bets down the decimal will not be canceled? No, let's not do that. Let's not. I'm saying it will not be canceled. I agree. You want my money? I give you my money. I give you my money if it's not canceled, but I think it will be. But here's the deal. If it's canceled, are we still going to get together? 01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:29.120 If you got tickets and you come, we will be there. I just came. Huh? What? I guess Matt's not going now. He just came. No, sorry. Will. What'd you say, Will? Will? I was saying that George will swallow. Yes, I will. If we all show up in Philly, I will swallow. 01:30:29.800 --> 01:30:58.880 We already knew that. Are we all at the hotel? Yeah. No, well, I had an Airbnb, but it got canceled, so. That was the first. You'd be at the hotel with us. That was the first sign of the apocalypse. Right. My cousin lives there, too, so I just figured it out. Same here. Same here. Your cousin lives there, too? I have a cousin who lives there, yeah. Wow. My brother-in-law lives there, but I'm not staying with him. No, because we're really, what, a monk's? Monk's. 01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:02.560 I mean, I actually booked, 01:31:03.010 --> 01:31:06.400 I booked a backup hotel because I always have contingency plans for everything. 01:31:06.630 --> 01:31:09.700 So, uh, but it's for the side, what I want to do. All right. 01:31:09.820 --> 01:31:13.160 Hey, Matt. Hey, Matt, you win the prize of the day for remembering. 01:31:14.780 --> 01:31:18.540 Thank you. Fuck. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. All right. 01:31:18.810 --> 01:31:23.300 Uh, George, next album, George, next album, next album. 01:31:24.360 --> 01:31:28.000 Unfortunately, he is not here, but Vreedhammer, 01:31:28.980 --> 01:31:57.220 Viparous, their third album, Norwegian Black Death Band. Jay is a huge fan. I listened to this today. Wait, is it released yet? Yes, it came out today. It came out today. And I listened to a lot of fucking music today. God, so did I. So much music. Like so much music that I was like, I need to stop listening because it's not registering anymore. Yeah, I agree. 01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:00.420 That was cool. 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:04.340 This one had some digital shit on it too, right? 01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:06.600 They kind of synthed it up a little. 01:32:07.020 --> 01:32:07.280 They did. 01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:09.220 At the very beginning, for sure. 01:32:09.360 --> 01:32:09.420 Yeah. 01:32:09.740 --> 01:32:11.120 It's like, what did they call it? 01:32:11.160 --> 01:32:13.180 Horror synth from the 80s or something? 01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:14.200 Okay. 01:32:14.380 --> 01:32:16.780 It has a little bit of that feel in certain parts. 01:32:16.980 --> 01:32:18.280 Starts off synthwave, yeah. 01:32:18.900 --> 01:32:20.360 I thought it was pretty good. 01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:25.800 I definitely need to listen to it a little bit more just because there was so much going on today and the last couple days. 01:32:27.060 --> 01:32:56.880 That's the total worst music to listen to like eight albums in a row and then put that on. You're like, yeah, fuck, I'm not remembering this. Yeah, no, no, it's really hard. Yeah, wait till we get to what we're listening to. I actually have a George list this time. I limited mine to seven just because I knew George was going to have like 47 albums on it. No, that's not too bad. Not too bad. All right. One last new release. Wombath? Wombath? Wombath. 01:32:58.020 --> 01:33:26.680 I'm assuming it's supposed to be like a womb, like a bath in a womb. A bath in the womb. If you take the word womb and you take the word bath. It's not wombat with a T-H on it. Right. It's womb bath. Yes. Womb bath. And their fourth album, Choirs of the Fallen, their Swedish death metal band. Not bad. I mean, it's not super, 01:33:30.240 --> 01:33:31.660 It sounds a lot like 01:33:35.120 --> 01:33:36.120 Completely blanking out 01:33:36.440 --> 01:33:38.180 The clandestine entombed 01:33:38.820 --> 01:33:40.260 Yeah, exactly 01:33:40.840 --> 01:33:42.180 But it's good for what it is 01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:43.860 It was good for what it is 01:33:43.940 --> 01:33:47.240 I listened to it quite a bit today 01:33:47.540 --> 01:33:48.900 I mean, I like it, but yeah 01:33:49.020 --> 01:33:50.560 It's sort of like, okay, I've heard this before 01:33:51.020 --> 01:33:52.820 Right, but it's good for what it is 01:33:52.860 --> 01:33:54.200 If you like that, you'll like it 01:33:55.820 --> 01:33:57.040 I agree with that 01:33:57.040 --> 01:34:27.020 There's nothing special about it, but it's still a compelling album to listen to. I gotta pee. You're listening to the Metalheads Podcast. Hide the kids and cover your butthole. Dude, this sump bottle is fucking huge. Yeah, well, take it out of your ass. Why? It fits. Why would I take it out? No, it just confirms that I'm so sick of fucking 01:34:27.220 --> 01:34:29.020 because they kill me every time. 01:34:30.460 --> 01:34:31.780 Hey, hey, we're here. 01:34:32.620 --> 01:34:33.320 We're here. 01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:35.560 What the fuck is Markisan doing? 01:34:35.860 --> 01:34:36.260 What? 01:34:39.140 --> 01:34:40.900 We're seeing behind the curtain here. 01:34:41.520 --> 01:34:41.640 Yeah. 01:34:43.560 --> 01:34:47.700 All I know is Butch is like just smashing cans like every five minutes. 01:34:48.160 --> 01:34:50.800 Yeah, I look up and he's like, fucking cans, fuck you. 01:34:51.200 --> 01:34:51.680 Oh, my God. 01:34:52.620 --> 01:34:53.160 I'm so dumb. 01:34:53.210 --> 01:34:56.140 We need to break this whole straight edge stereotype. 01:34:58.320 --> 01:35:25.860 It's unhealthy. I'm fucked up. Can you tell? Yeah. Did Marcus have to go to the beach to get his beer? I think he had a wee-wee. Have you guys read the comic book, The Voracious? It's really good. Oh, yeah. 01:35:26.220 --> 01:35:55.140 I think we've all read it. Really? No, I really. I got like weirdly addicted to it. And then. I haven't heard the last one yet. Yeah, I got. You're a good beast. It's great, man. The story is amazing. I got sexually aroused looking at the women that that mirror or whatever his name. Yeah. Do you apparently don't look at money? Graphic novels. I do. 01:35:57.220 --> 01:36:24.520 We're all there, man. What are you talking about? Whoa, dude. Do they really wear that? And he's back. He's back. God, he didn't need love. Where are we? We're going to fucking throw down, man. Metal sunnycone. Throw some fucking shit down. Hold on. Yep. 01:36:26.240 --> 01:36:56.000 I don't have them here. God damn it. I have to admit it really is fun to talk like that. It really is. You need to get more pissed off. I think this is a primal scream. All right. A little too mellow up in here. All right. It is time. I don't know. I'm a mellow dude in reality. Yeah. No, I know. That is the most disappointing. 01:36:59.219 --> 01:37:24.300 That is the most dangerous game. Are we ready? Yeah. Do it. Fuck yeah. All right. It is time for Metal Thunderdome. And this time it is Matt's turn to decide who will be challenging who. Take it away, Matt. Right on. 01:37:26.240 --> 01:37:54.740 in mind. I had a really big one, but now that Jay's not coming to the podcast, I kind of abandoned it. So I went with two albums that we've listed as comeback albums. I hate to see comeback albums because I don't think of comeback albums in metal. But this is totally relevant, though. It is really good. I mean, in terms of comeback albums, these are the two. Right. And. 01:37:56.240 --> 01:37:56.800 So here we go. 01:37:56.800 --> 01:37:57.080 So here we go. 01:37:57.520 --> 01:38:01.080 Celtic Ross, Monotheus versus Carcassus, Surgical Steals. 01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:06.000 You have two albums where you had a huge length of time between releases, 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:09.480 and they can almost be described as reunion albums. 01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:14.780 But again, I feel like that is more for pop music, but that is what I know. 01:38:15.200 --> 01:38:15.560 Go. 01:38:16.260 --> 01:38:16.760 All right. 01:38:17.140 --> 01:38:22.420 So we will start with, well, let's start with Butch. 01:38:22.580 --> 01:38:23.340 What do you think? 01:38:24.620 --> 01:38:53.600 Which one of these albums do you choose? Of the two, which do you like better? Carcass, obviously. Yeah, me and Carcass go way back. That's one of the first extreme metal bands I got into when I heard, you know, Discanting, The Insalubrious. You know, when I was working in the record store back then, and then from there I moved on to Heartwork. 01:38:53.720 --> 01:39:22.260 and dug back deeper into their catalog from there and then forward. And I fucking love Carcass. And then backward. Yeah, they're one of my favorite bands and they can do no wrong. The only thing that I thought was weird about, you know, Carcass's comeback is obviously the absence of their original drummer. And the new guy is fucking amazing. Don't get me wrong. 01:39:23.700 --> 01:39:53.240 made Carcass unique was the kind of weird, erratic drumming style of, you know. Ken. Yeah, of Ken Owen, their original drummer. And so it was just weird to hear a band that was as bizarre as Carcass with a drummer that was that fucking precise and amazing. But it was also cool at the same time. So, you know, a lot of change going on there. 01:39:53.300 --> 01:40:21.640 But I was on board with it. Now I'm looking forward to the next Carcass record. Marcus Sam. Well, first, a great job coming up with this one, Matty. This is another really hard Thunderdome because these are two of my all-time favorite bands. And I love both these albums. And I love the comeback theme because these LPs are probably the greatest comeback albums in metal. 01:40:23.320 --> 01:40:52.520 So I think Surgical Seal is probably the best metal album of the last decade. And to put that record out after 17 years away was absolutely phenomenal. But I'm going with Monotheist for this epic battle. Because to return to prominence after being away for nearly as long as Carcass, like 16 years, I believe, and to put out that heavy, scary masterpiece of Monotheist, 01:40:52.540 --> 01:41:19.780 is pretty miraculous. It also happens to be the final Celtic Frost album. So to come back and to go out on such a high note is just an undeniable double whammy for me. It's enough to do it to win. That's right. And that's enough for me to say that Celtic Frost monotheist is my pick. Yes. Right then. 01:41:22.540 --> 01:41:52.460 What is your pick? I cannot argue with anything anybody said. I mean, honestly, it is. It's their comeback album. It's their final album. It's fucking amazing. You know, for me, it really boils down to the time frame. Like, I hate to say it, but when Monotheist came out, I was listening to shitty metal, which would not include Monotheist, you know. Do tell. I mean, you can't lay something out like that. 01:41:52.520 --> 01:42:21.680 and not expand upon us so we can just ridicule the shit out of you. I guess I would say I was not listening to monotheist. I was listening to metal, but clearly it was not good metal. Like what? For example? Honestly, it was probably new metal. Was it Breaking Benjamin? For example. You know, I never listened to Breaking Benjamin, but I listened to a lot of bad music. I probably did not come back into metal around. Are you a fucking politician? 01:42:22.580 --> 01:42:26.980 You're avoiding the question. Just answer the question. 01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:31.560 You're avoiding how he's gonna pay for Medicare. 01:42:31.940 --> 01:42:32.140 Everything. 01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:33.980 Hey, I'm a socialist. 01:42:34.360 --> 01:42:34.880 What do you want me? 01:42:35.440 --> 01:42:36.320 Let me look. 01:42:36.680 --> 01:42:37.080 What's your mouth? 01:42:37.420 --> 01:42:38.760 Poser, answer the question. 01:42:39.680 --> 01:42:40.740 Oh no, I need to go. 01:42:40.940 --> 01:42:43.440 29% of everything that you said is fucking bullshit. 01:42:43.940 --> 01:42:47.400 This is your fucking thunderdome, man. What's your fucking choice? 01:42:49.540 --> 01:43:18.660 All right, 2000. 2006? 2006, yes. Just pick a fucking band already. God damn it. It's okay. All right, 2006 and heavy metal. No, this is supposed to be your shitty music, not heavy metal. That's what I'm saying. I'm looking for what I was listening to at that time period. The reality is I was not listening to Celtic Frost. 01:43:19.540 --> 01:43:47.440 Looking back, it's like Monotheus is like a hey. When I look back in time, that was a fucking amazing album. Versus Surgical Steel, I was in real time listening to that and enjoying it and thinking like, hey, I listened to Necroticism back in high school. This is where they are now. Fuck, that's amazing. And so it probably wouldn't come as a huge surprise, but I'm going with Carcass. 01:43:47.740 --> 01:44:17.660 Well, I'm still looking for shitty metal from 2006. It's not a surprise. Carcass. Oh, boy. Iron Maiden, Matter of Life and Death. Not their best album. Not. Oh, shit, I hate it. Yeah, but it's still Iron Maiden, though. I'm not going to knock you for saying that one. I think Will and I are agreeing on that one. No, you have to be listening to, like, Korn or Slipk. 01:44:17.720 --> 01:44:19.880 Fucking Deftones bullshit. 01:44:19.880 --> 01:44:21.120 You guys so long Bobbie. 01:44:21.420 --> 01:44:23.880 I just won't say. Deftones is awesome. 01:44:24.220 --> 01:44:27.140 But this is what I'll say. 01:44:27.480 --> 01:44:29.620 Everything that everybody has said is true for me. 01:44:30.580 --> 01:44:31.940 I still love the Deftones. 01:44:32.540 --> 01:44:34.560 But every other band you all have mentioned was like. 01:44:36.180 --> 01:44:36.560 Deftones. 01:44:36.710 --> 01:44:37.760 I was just trying to get the same. 01:44:38.040 --> 01:44:39.180 Deftones are bullshit. 01:44:39.370 --> 01:44:40.440 They have always been bullshit. 01:44:40.690 --> 01:44:42.100 And always will be bullshit. 01:44:42.720 --> 01:44:44.900 I still love the Deftones. 01:44:45.300 --> 01:44:48.000 Adrenaline and my own summer. 01:44:48.100 --> 01:44:49.060 Deftones are awesome. 01:44:49.440 --> 01:44:50.360 All their albums are awesome. 01:44:50.620 --> 01:45:20.580 They started off as a corn fucking wannabe band and then they turned it to bullshit. Listen, don't make me Godsmack your asses. All right. Okay. Godsmack is a different story. What's funny is I never liked Godsmack. I still love the Deftones. I liked, I liked fucking what's his, uh, Sully fucking whatever his name is. I liked the band before Godsmack. I can't 01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:49.780 What they're called, but they have a song called Pentapussy. Would that be Creed? No. No, it would not. But I have the CD of the band before God Smack, so fuck off. I don't think Matt expected his Thunderdome to go this way. Yeah, no shit. All right, so anyway. To be honest, John, I actually did. I felt like this would be a good shit show. And I had two choices, which George knows about, but he will not say. Yes. 01:45:49.840 --> 01:46:18.260 I did not choose the other one based on the fact that Jay was not going to be on the podcast with us tonight. So I totally expect a shit show. Yes. Wait, wait, wait. You, you chose Monotheus versus Carcass because Jay was not going to be on the podcast. I know, right? Even though Monotheus is the favorite album ever. That's the thing. You should, if you knew what the original choice was, you would understand. Yeah, I can. 01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:49.620 I was just thinking the same thing. So if you if you look at the last year of our podcast based on what Jay has talked about. Yeah, you'll know the choice I had was more than this choice. It was Jay versus Jay. It really was. Yeah, basically. So maybe Jay should do that for Jay's Thunderdome. It might happen. You never know. 01:46:50.680 --> 01:47:19.380 Yeah. I mean, for real. Well, this is a great choice. I think you guys should have a thing where you actually fight about this shit. Next month in Philadelphia, we will fight and then we will make up and make love. We're going to be too drunk and bleeding all over each other. So you actually get together in a real fucking Thunderdome. Whether a decibel happens or not, we will all be at one hotel. And you're like, no, this album, 01:47:19.480 --> 01:47:48.300 This album, motherfucker. You can fight about it. We'll have a loaf of bread. Who wins? All right. John. One man leaves. Yes. That is the motto of the Thunderdome. Two bands enter, one band leaves. And John, you're up next. So I took your suggestion of Come Back album literally. 01:47:49.480 --> 01:48:18.760 And to be honest, I don't. You came on their back? Yes, literally. Like yogurt? Shoot big ropes? White ropes. I hear you, man. Like hot yogurt? That's disgusting. White hot yogurt. Oh, my God. Hey, Butch, there's a song title for your. White hot yogurt. I believe that's an out. 01:48:20.220 --> 01:48:49.280 No, what a fuckaboutism or something. What's the song? What's the? Unfuckwithable. Unfuckwithable. I'm trying to get people pumped up, not make them throw up. There's a song title. Pumped up, not throw up. Yeah, nothing fires me up like Yo Play. Let me tell you. Come on, Boots. Boots, you got this. 01:48:52.260 --> 01:49:19.200 Let me rail us back onto the rails here. What is your choice, man? I'm getting to it. So when I saw this question, to me, Carcass, while it was a long time in between albums, I didn't feel like they were coming back from anything that sucked. So to me, it's like when Sinek took off like, what, 15 years and they came back, it was from a great album. 01:49:19.460 --> 01:49:49.440 And I thought Swan Song was a pretty good album. So for me... Yeah. What Celtic Frost came back from was like, yikes, compared to the early stuff. So I definitely went with Monotheus because that album, when you listen to it compared to the previous two albums, you're like, what the fuck? This is a completely different band. And the beauty of this album for me, and I know people kind of scratch their head when I say this, this is as much as a Celtic Frost 01:49:49.460 --> 01:50:19.440 is a Trypticon album. It sounds like Trypticon on this album. It does. Thank you. Absolutely. If Celtic Frost had never come back and this was the first Trypticon album, we'd be talking about Trypticon even more as a great band. I mean, the opening track alone, just to hear the yanks, he's just fucking on fire on that first song. So for me... The vocal performance on that album is astounding. Yeah, and it 01:50:19.460 --> 01:50:21.780 And then it goes from this kind of 01:50:22.540 --> 01:50:26.960 brittle, doomish kind of stuff to it's very gothic and gets very surreal. 01:50:27.640 --> 01:50:30.800 And it just goes all over. Then that triptych thing at the end, you're like, 01:50:32.040 --> 01:50:35.020 after like, what, 65 minutes, you're like, what the fuck did I just listen to? 01:50:35.180 --> 01:50:39.340 And I love the Carcass album. See, I love it. It's a great album. 01:50:40.140 --> 01:50:45.540 But for me, if we want to talk pure comeback, coming from shit to awesome, 01:50:46.680 --> 01:50:48.720 then it's monotheist for me all the way. 01:50:49.380 --> 01:51:18.100 And John makes up a good point. I mean, it could be the next Trypticon album, you know. Plus, it's Tom. I mean, Tom is Papa Burgundy for metal, you know. Well, yeah. I read an article once a few years back where he's like, I'm ready to die. I'm done with all this. I'm like, no, fuck you, man. You're still putting out killer fucking shit. Don't do that. I mean, we all watched their set last year at Decibel. Yeah, we watched it, and clearly he lifts weights. 01:51:18.800 --> 01:51:47.320 So, I mean, the guy's going to be going on forever. Big weights. Unlike Butch, who is, he's probably going to die young. And his hot girlfriend, who plays bass, also lifts weights. Right. And we just can't bring up that Tripticon show without me thinking, you know, I could have been up close to see Hannes Grossman. Fucking TR. TR was hammered. TR, we love you. And the fucking Metalhead Butler. 01:51:50.000 --> 01:52:17.500 That comes up and he just looks at me. It's like, dude, I'm just fucking with you, man. Come on. We're seeing like Papua New Guinea or some shit. The Metalhead's butler is going to be at decimal, right? Yes. No, he was. Yes, he will. American Samoa. He was American Samoa. He got actually. They call those out there cyclones. They don't call them hurricanes or typhoons. He got hit with one when he was there. So he's back. Did he fight back? 01:52:18.780 --> 01:52:47.840 Get the fuck off my island. Will, tell us about Surgical Stealth. Yeah. Yeah, obviously. Well, so this is kind of an easy one for me, and I'm going to pick. Because you're a fucking poser. No, but I, you cockus. For me, this is easy because I was a big fan of Heartwork, and I bought Heartwork in 1993, and it's fun. 01:52:47.900 --> 01:53:17.880 For me, it's fun to go back and look up albums and find out when they were released and where was I. So in 1993, I was knee-deep in the United States Marine Corps. And I remember that there was, weirdly enough, on a lot of Marine Corps bases, there was a lot of really good death metal. And I think I've told this story before that when I was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, and there was a small little, what they call the Marine Corps exchange, which is kind of like the 01:53:17.900 --> 01:53:45.820 The Marine Corps, Target, and Walmart wrapped in the one. Your PX. Yeah, the PX. Like the personal exchange. And this was the MCX, the Marine Corps exchange. But it was super small. I mean, the thing could fit in my house. But there was a large section of it dedicated to music. And they would just have, like, I remember buying, so this is 1992-93, I remember buying Brutal Truth on CD. I remember buying, 01:53:49.780 --> 01:54:17.880 some entombed on CD, like some crazy brutal stuff. But when I went back to Camp Lejeune, I got heart work on CD. And I was like, whoa. And I remember Carcass because when I was in high school, I was definitely aware of like a re-pre-pre-ification and all that stuff. But like it scared me a little bit. I was like, whoa. Re-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre 01:54:17.920 --> 01:54:47.740 Even with Slayer, with all the Satanism stuff, because I was born and raised Catholic, confirmed Catholic, but never really believed in anything. But I just felt this sort of like, oh, this stuff's a little scary. It's a little dirty. And I felt like that word about Carcass. Carcass was just like... Random Blood scared the shit out of me when I bought it. Right. Even Cannibal Corpse, like, oh my God, this is a little over the top. I knew about it. I listened to it occasionally, but I was like, oh, I don't know if I can go there. But in 1993, 01:54:47.900 --> 01:55:15.760 When Heartwork came out, I'm like, I'm on board. This is it. This is awesome. And that's when I was getting into entombed and cancer and death. Well, death I was into years before that when I was in high school. So for me to see Surgical Steel come out, I was super, super excited about it. And the other thing is I was definitely aware of Celtic Frost or Celtic Frost or wherever the fuck you want to pronounce it. Celtic. 01:55:17.920 --> 01:55:20.600 It was never something 01:55:21.180 --> 01:55:22.660 Like I never owned any of their albums 01:55:23.240 --> 01:55:23.740 I'll admit it 01:55:23.810 --> 01:55:24.840 I just didn't 01:55:24.850 --> 01:55:25.820 I didn't own any of their albums 01:55:27.980 --> 01:55:29.240 For whatever reason 01:55:29.690 --> 01:55:30.460 I was into like 01:55:31.280 --> 01:55:31.620 Death 01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:32.320 Or 01:55:32.900 --> 01:55:33.620 Whatever I was into 01:55:33.860 --> 01:55:34.080 But just 01:55:34.420 --> 01:55:35.060 For whatever reason 01:55:35.180 --> 01:55:35.560 Just never 01:55:36.060 --> 01:55:36.400 Popped up 01:55:36.460 --> 01:55:36.800 So anyway 01:55:37.080 --> 01:55:37.820 For whatever reason 01:55:37.990 --> 01:55:38.520 Just tell us 01:55:39.780 --> 01:55:40.500 Tell us 01:55:40.600 --> 01:55:41.340 I already told you 01:55:41.680 --> 01:55:43.080 It must be Carcass 01:55:43.820 --> 01:55:45.319 I said that right away 01:55:47.220 --> 01:56:15.280 So you love Carcass and didn't really listen to Celtic Frost. Okay. I said that right away. Roger that, man. Well, how do you feel about Celtic Frost now, though, Will? No, but so I've grown in appreciation. There's tons of bands out there that I've grown this appreciation for and where now that I look back at the old Celtic Frost and exactly what Matt was saying, 01:56:15.320 --> 01:56:45.300 saying is that like they went from like okay the older stuff was good but monotheos is such a huge leap forward in what they were doing like and you're you nail around the head that should have been the first trypticon album if that would have been the first trypticon album trypticon would be the ridiculously legendary band at this point even though it kind of already is with tom tom g warrior in it but like i it's almost like two different bands to me in a weird sort of way where carcass 01:56:45.320 --> 01:56:49.060 Sort of slightly more seamless. 01:56:49.440 --> 01:56:51.800 You're spot on about that. I feel the same way about that album. 01:56:52.160 --> 01:56:53.500 It really is two different bands. 01:56:53.640 --> 01:56:57.500 But if you're a Celtic Frost fan, that's their whole career. 01:56:57.760 --> 01:57:01.060 Every album was completely different or sort of different than the next one. 01:57:02.080 --> 01:57:07.440 I remember at the time, it's just Celtic Frost. 01:57:07.720 --> 01:57:09.320 You don't have the other band. 01:57:09.320 --> 01:57:10.120 You don't have Tribicon. 01:57:10.580 --> 01:57:12.500 So no one knows anything about that. 01:57:12.620 --> 01:57:14.620 So they come back with that, and it's just amazing. 01:57:14.700 --> 01:57:19.340 So I will agree with this 01:57:20.120 --> 01:57:21.540 that if you 01:57:22.140 --> 01:57:23.580 took Celtic 01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:25.560 Frostback catalog, you wait those 01:57:25.740 --> 01:57:27.100 16, 17 years and you come out 01:57:28.139 --> 01:57:29.500 Monotheist, the 01:57:29.820 --> 01:57:30.860 leap and the 01:57:31.500 --> 01:57:33.500 quality of that newer album 01:57:34.400 --> 01:57:35.540 just blows everything 01:57:35.620 --> 01:57:36.880 else away that they ever did. 01:57:37.680 --> 01:57:38.520 And does 01:57:39.239 --> 01:57:41.240 Megatheon is still fucking awesome. 01:57:41.540 --> 01:57:42.960 It blows away Cold Lake. 01:57:44.500 --> 01:58:14.440 I agree with that, John. It blows the previous two albums away, but Tomega Theron and Morbid Tales are fucking awesome. But there's not that huge of a leap, in my opinion, between Surgical Seal and Heartwork. No, there's not. Not even close. No, it was Swan Song. Yeah, just Carcass was more like in my wheelhouse at the time. Not in my wheelhouse. That's not fair to say because I just, I didn't really listen to Celtic Frost. Right. All right, George, bring it home. Wait, do you want to? 01:58:14.520 --> 01:58:16.100 to say Jay's or are we going to wait for Joe? 01:58:16.680 --> 01:58:17.600 We already know Jay's. 01:58:18.440 --> 01:58:20.600 Yes, so right now 01:58:20.720 --> 01:58:22.720 I will insert a pre-recorded 01:58:23.020 --> 01:58:24.460 conversation that I had 01:58:24.840 --> 01:58:26.400 with Jay before this episode 01:58:27.000 --> 01:58:28.020 regarding this issue. 01:58:28.700 --> 01:58:29.640 And that is now. 01:58:30.620 --> 01:58:32.720 And surprise, you didn't think he was going to be here 01:58:32.980 --> 01:58:34.940 but we've got Jay on Skype 01:58:35.140 --> 01:58:36.940 from the parking lot of the Kiss concert 01:58:37.060 --> 01:58:39.580 and he's going to give his input on the Metal Thunderdome. 01:58:40.820 --> 01:58:41.880 Coming at you lo-fi. 01:58:42.220 --> 01:58:44.480 I bet I sound terrible because I'm on my phone 01:58:44.480 --> 01:59:13.500 I couldn't stand you guys doing a podcast without me on it. I haven't missed one. So I was given free kiss tickets as a birthday present. It was my birthday recently. And I can't. That was such a generous gift of a friend of mine. I wasn't planning on going to the show at all, but it'll be fun. And strangely, I don't know if you know this, George, but David Lee Roth is opening. Yeah, that ought to be something. I mean, hey, I went with John and Will to kiss and it was great. Yeah, exactly. It'll be fun. 01:59:13.540 --> 01:59:15.680 So don't I shouldn't be such a stick in the mud 01:59:17.020 --> 01:59:17.540 And 01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:20.760 What do we call it? Thunderdome? Metal Thunderdome 01:59:21.360 --> 01:59:21.560 Yeah 01:59:22.380 --> 01:59:23.940 Well you know actually 01:59:24.470 --> 01:59:25.920 So George and I spoke a little bit before 01:59:26.460 --> 01:59:28.460 Before he pushed play or record rather 01:59:29.000 --> 01:59:30.200 And it's Monotheist versus 01:59:30.350 --> 01:59:31.340 Actually remind me Monotheist 01:59:31.440 --> 01:59:31.960 Surgical steel 01:59:32.360 --> 01:59:33.200 Surgical steel 01:59:33.680 --> 01:59:34.480 I will say this 01:59:35.360 --> 01:59:37.100 That's super hard for me 01:59:38.660 --> 01:59:40.400 With Monotheist having the edge 01:59:40.660 --> 01:59:41.620 Only because 01:59:41.620 --> 02:00:10.720 I honestly think that is one of the best post-2000 metal albums hands down. And I think both of those are two of the best comebacks ever, without question, or reform, reformations, or whatever you want to call it. Which is probably why Matt chose it. Yeah, absolutely. But Monotheist is a perfect, complete statement. It's more a piece of art, I think, than Surgical Steel is. It's just, 02:00:11.620 --> 02:00:41.560 It's brilliant. And it's like there are these like there's 10 records in my life probably or 20. I'm sure it's the same for you, George and everybody else that just hold this iconic place. Number of the Beast, Melissa, albums like that. And Monotheos is one of those. And as much as I like Carcass and I like Carcass a lot and I love that fucking record, it just doesn't quite reach that iconic status for me. It's just a fucking killer great comeback record, the Carcass one. And all the more excited for the new Carcass. 02:00:41.620 --> 02:01:11.380 So I go Celtic slash Celtic Frost honestly any day of the week. I kind of figured. Yeah. Can you share your choice with me, George, or are you going to share with the group? Well, yes, but I go right after you do. So I am also going with Celtic Frost monotheist. Well, I know you're a lover of that album. You and I both ordered the reissue. I recall when it came out. You might have had an original copy already. 02:01:12.760 --> 02:01:41.480 The Vinyl, yes. I paid through the nose for that one. So tell me, what do you remember when you heard it was coming out and what you thought when it came out and everything? Honestly, I didn't think much. Yeah. Like when Monotheist originally came out, I was like, eh, you know. Yeah, fair enough. What is this going to be? But then I heard it and I was like, dang, you know. I think, well, here's the other thing I'd say about it. 02:01:41.640 --> 02:02:11.560 I think it is the record that they were working towards making when their career was still active. Like truly. And the fact that they managed because it really is the sum total of everything else they kind of did. Yeah. Which incidentally, the last thing I would say about it from my perspective is I was fortunate enough to see them on that tour. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Easy. Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was them, 1349 and Sun O. But Celtic Frost just came out and just fucking destroyed the place. And Martin Nain, bless his heart, 02:02:11.640 --> 02:02:41.500 no longer with us was a fucking demon on stage, man. He was so cool. And they were both dressed in like priest regalia and stuff. It was fucking rad, dude. Yeah. One band dressing like another. Yeah. Oh, you and me. I know you didn't mean Judas Priest. I was making a joke. Yeah. So, okay. So that's my two cents. And I'm glad I got my voice in here. Yeah. You will be missed tonight. By this point, you probably already have. Yeah. And even though I'm not, 02:02:41.620 --> 02:03:11.240 You're the only one actually on this live with me right now. I miss the other boys. I love you guys. And I'm looking forward to seeing you in April. I know we're all a little nervous that something could get changed or canceled on us, but we'll see. Knock on wood. As George suggested, they're not going to probably cancel flights. So worst case scenario, we spend three days in a hotel getting fucking trashed. That's right. And talking metal. All right, dude. Well, I'm going to go meet my buddy with the tickets and I'll let you know how the show is. All right, man. Rock and roll all night. I love you, buddy. I love you too, man. See ya. Bye. 02:03:11.640 --> 02:03:41.480 Right now Jay is looking at Paul Stanley's love gun. Yes, so that was Jay's response. And if you listen to that, you know my response as well. But I'm going to repeat it just for the folks that are on the show now. Obviously, obviously. For the win. For the win. Fucking Celtic Frost. Monotheist. Obviously. I mean, I love Surgical Steel. It is a great album. It is. But you know me. 02:03:41.640 --> 02:04:09.640 I'm a fucking Thomas Gabriel Fisher fan. He's pop of Burgundy. He's Santa Metal. Yeah. Yeah. There's no question about it to me. It's Celtic Frost. But we have not spoken to Butch yet. Yeah, no, he picked. He picked Carcass. Wait, did we? Oh, you did. You're the tiebreaker, George. I'm sorry. I'm drunk. 02:04:11.640 --> 02:04:40.600 I'd say this is probably the drunkest I've seen you on a non-rear end or Mickey Rouse. Yeah. It makes me feel good about myself, to be honest. Yeah, you're totally awake and sober. Stick our casts. Okay, okay. So what? What do we end up with? 4-3? That's right. Yeah, that's right. So I just want to say that we're going to run a poll on Facebook when we put out. 02:04:41.620 --> 02:05:11.120 the episode. And we always put out. Get to vote on these albums, too. So we picked Monotheist 4-3, but it may turn out differently. You guys get to select your winner. And we will reveal who the listener's winner is on the next cast. I think it's going to be pretty close, to be honest with you. And I will say, much like we've talked tonight, there are no wrong answers. No, there never is. It's a great Thunderdome. Really good one. 02:05:11.120 --> 02:05:41.100 Yeah, agreed. I can't wait till it's my turn. I'm going to pick the Black Album versus Rain and Blood. Yeah, but what's the tie-in, though? Yeah, there has to be a tie-in. There has to be a tie-in. You got to tie it. Something has to bind them together. Shit versus not. This is what Dawn shit smells like and what shit smells like. Even I would have to go with Rain and Blood in that one. Actually, if Will does that, I'm going to pick the Black Album 02:05:41.700 --> 02:06:10.520 Just to spite him. Because, you know, it's a terrible question. That's not somebody who hates or puts effort into anything. And so I have to go against him. Yeah, put some effort into it, Will. It's not my turn next. That guy, just put effort into anything. Yeah, so next episode is going to be something else. But after that, it will be John's turn. Fuck yeah, man. I'm already thinking about it. All right. 02:06:11.140 --> 02:06:40.900 Yeah, did you, uh, you, you, you, you didn't even mention the fact that this is episode 99. 99. Next episode, big 100. I don't know, man. It's going to be the coronavirus episode or not. But the plan, the plan is episode 100, big 100. We will all do together in the same room. 02:06:41.140 --> 02:07:09.040 We may not be a decibel, but we'll be there. As I cough from the coronavirus, the plan is to do episode 100 all together in Philadelphia next month. Yes. And should I say it? Go for it. It's going to be the top 50 albums of the first 50 years of heavy metal. Right. 02:07:11.160 --> 02:07:41.080 2019, 50 years. We're going to do one album per year. It's going to be a drunken fucking escapade. Is that going to be like an eight hour episode? Yes. Yes. Bring the chicken. Yes. It's going to be epic if it happens, because who fucking knows what's going to be. We're all going to be dead by next month. We're going to be hammered by 1987. We're all going to be dead by next month. 02:07:41.140 --> 02:08:10.540 Next month, so who cares? Do we, George, do we have like a conference room at the O's home? Well, we're going to try to find a room. If not, we're going to drink beer and we're going to sit on Jay's bed. Yes. So that's the plan. Who knows if life will allow it? It will allow it. Just looking forward to it. Be positive, man. Did you learn anything from Butch? 02:08:12.699 --> 02:08:41.100 Yeah, but there's a lot of stupid people in the world and they decide, stupid people decide things. But they're not on this podcast. Be positive, punch everything. As of today, as I've told you guys, I've spoke with Albert from Decibel, canceling the fest as he walked through the venue today or yesterday, whatever it was. The mention of COVID-19 02:08:43.220 --> 02:09:10.640 coronavirus, Chinese dude, fucking bat virus. It doesn't even exist. It didn't even happen. Yeah, but if all the fucking breweries fucking cancel out. Oh my God, just shut the fuck up. Well, in South by Southwest said that same thing, you know, that they weren't even thinking about it. That was the city. Exactly. Exactly. So a month from now, Philadelphia could cancel it and it has nothing to do with Albert. Then if decibels canceled, I'm cool with that because I'll go to the Flyers game. Fuck you guys. 02:09:11.120 --> 02:09:26.600 Fuck you guys. I would like to. I would like to. Let's move on. All right. Where are we? Top five. 02:09:41.120 --> 02:10:10.020 We made a list and we all made a list and we're going to tell you all about it right now. Oh, jeez. Okay. I think I have to pee. I'll be right back. Okay. Getting long in the tooth. Let's roll with this, like, quickly. That's kind of funny to hear you say it. Like, you were asleep last time. I had no idea how long it was going. I know. It was the perfect thing I ever did. I fell asleep. 02:10:10.220 --> 02:10:40.160 When I listened back to the episode, I was super glad I was asleep. You guys talk about Grateful Dead like half the time. I fucking edited out so much shit for you because I love you. I listened to Abigail in its entirety today. Did you? Yeah. Yeah, I was just on a King Diamond thing today where I just listened. I listened to Abigail and I listened to them and I was just on a fucking King Diamond. 02:10:40.240 --> 02:11:09.300 thing and it was great. Yeah. Those are great albums. I love them. There's that cat. Somebody take that guy's meat away. Yeah. He's fucking fucked up and he doesn't even know that we're talking about him. He's going to be fucking naked on a surfboard in a minute. And we're back. Back. Go. All right. Now is time for our top five. 02:11:09.600 --> 02:11:39.340 And this time, for Butch, we are talking about our top five metal albums to listen to while crushing weights. Fuck yeah. So, Butch, start us off with your number five. Dude, get ready to smash your fucking desk. Punch your chair into the floor until it turns into a bunch of shattered bits of fucking, 02:11:39.580 --> 02:11:42.100 Just wood pieces. 02:11:43.500 --> 02:11:46.680 Or not even wood, but like fucking microfiber shit. 02:11:47.020 --> 02:11:48.360 Yeah, just microfiber. 02:11:48.560 --> 02:11:54.460 It depends on what your fucking chair is made of, but it's going to get destroyed because you're going to smash it. 02:11:55.240 --> 02:12:01.040 And I think you really need to check out a lot of hardcore bands. 02:12:01.120 --> 02:12:31.060 If you're looking for hardcore, the bands from Japan has a fucking amazing heavy hardcore scene. And there's a band called Loyal to the Grave. And they have an album called Against the Odds. And it will just make you want to fucking destroy everything in the room. Just trust me on this. Look it up on the internet or whatever. Loyal to the Grave is what they're called. Is it like Phil Collins on this? Against the Odds? 02:12:31.160 --> 02:12:57.740 No, it's against the gods. That's against all odds. Against all odds. I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Hold on. That's different. I know. I wanted to sing that one. I love against all odds. Just saying. But this fan will just make you want to smash everything in the fucking room. Trust me. Check them out. All right. 02:13:01.120 --> 02:13:01.400 Number five. 02:13:01.440 --> 02:13:01.700 Oh, 02:13:02.060 --> 02:13:02.160 okay. 02:13:02.240 --> 02:13:02.400 Oh, 02:13:02.440 --> 02:13:04.360 well in honor of our guests, 02:13:04.720 --> 02:13:05.440 butch Mario, 02:13:05.540 --> 02:13:05.960 I mean, 02:13:06.040 --> 02:13:06.640 butch Marino, 02:13:07.500 --> 02:13:12.120 I selected five of my favorite hardcore albums for this list, 02:13:12.180 --> 02:13:12.840 not metal albums. 02:13:13.760 --> 02:13:15.500 So number five on my list, 02:13:16.740 --> 02:13:20.020 dead guy fixation on a coworker. 02:13:20.860 --> 02:13:29.460 This is an intense chokehold of a hardcore slash metal album that allows you to grab weights and punish them for 30 minutes. 02:13:29.680 --> 02:13:57.120 An absolute album of gym brutality. I feel like I actually know this. Wait, I know everything. Never mind. I actually really love hardcore because, again, I grew up in central New York. So that was like the hardcore mecca where Butch is from. So I listen to a lot of hardcore. This is great for me to revisit some of these. All right. Dead guy. Fixation on a coworker. Matt. 02:13:59.680 --> 02:14:29.520 This is literally what I listen to when I'm lifting weights. Number five. Shopping young lad. City. Noise. That's a good choice. That is a very good choice. No complaints. And also I'm a bitch. I get bitchy. You're also a strapping young lad. Bitchy man dot com. Damn right. All right. John. I'm going to drop some hints. I have no hardcore. 02:14:29.680 --> 02:14:58.960 on my list, just so you know, because I don't know shit about hardcore, but I know this. Matt, see if this rings a bell. On drums, Gene Hoagland. Yes. On vocals, some crazy dude with a fucking skullet from Canada. Yes. Devin Townsend. Yes. Strapping young lad. Yes. Wow. Yes. Putting a fucking detox in your face. That's the song, dude. Yes. 02:14:59.680 --> 02:15:29.640 That is unreal that you both have that. That is awesome. I do not have a Strapping Your Lad album on here. I don't. Well, you need to go back and fucking listen before we get to you. Wow. All right. Willem. So I picked four of my five albums I picked because when I used to lift weight 02:15:30.220 --> 02:15:33.560 When I used to be big and buff and running around the world, 02:15:34.320 --> 02:15:35.800 trying to chase bad guys and stuff, 02:15:36.620 --> 02:15:39.180 these are the albums I actually listened to quite a bit. 02:15:40.160 --> 02:15:43.880 My number five is Brain Drill, Apocalyptic Feasting. 02:15:44.640 --> 02:15:49.880 This is tech death metal that is just absolutely in your face shredding, 02:15:49.880 --> 02:15:51.700 and I was kind of obsessed with these guys. 02:15:52.400 --> 02:15:55.880 And this album's so old that there was actually a MySpace page for it. 02:15:56.080 --> 02:15:56.420 Whoa. 02:15:57.580 --> 02:15:57.780 Yeah. 02:15:58.940 --> 02:16:28.100 Brain Drill. Apocalyptic Feasting. Love the name. It's California Tech Death. I'm not the biggest Tech Death fan, but this album just blew me the fuck away. Love it. Dang. Cool. All right. Well, my list is actually stuff that I listen to as well. You may want to change your list looking at you. But my number five is Not Anywhere. It's Not Hardcore. 02:16:28.240 --> 02:16:28.740 At all. 02:16:29.740 --> 02:16:30.280 Delane Dion. 02:16:30.940 --> 02:16:31.180 No. 02:16:31.560 --> 02:16:33.019 It's Children of Bodom. 02:16:33.620 --> 02:16:34.840 Hate Crew Death Roll. 02:16:35.599 --> 02:16:35.840 Nice. 02:16:36.360 --> 02:16:38.620 That fucking album pumps me, dude. 02:16:39.940 --> 02:16:41.099 We'll hit the bong again. 02:16:41.500 --> 02:16:41.940 Whatever. 02:16:42.820 --> 02:16:43.160 Fuck you. 02:16:44.040 --> 02:16:45.340 In Philadelphia later. 02:16:47.800 --> 02:16:48.519 All right. 02:16:48.809 --> 02:16:49.820 Back to Butch. 02:16:50.460 --> 02:16:51.040 Number four. 02:16:53.540 --> 02:16:53.940 All right. 02:16:54.280 --> 02:16:55.920 And then we're going. 02:16:56.139 --> 02:16:57.679 I have to mention this album. 02:16:57.860 --> 02:17:27.080 It seems almost like an obvious choice to me, but Hatebreed, the album is Perseverance. Nice. And that's probably like the first album I ever put on where I was like, man, this goes great in the gym. It just gets you fucking psyched and pumped and it makes you want to lift and just crush everything. 02:17:27.880 --> 02:17:57.540 It's a great record. Start the wireless. Yes. I consider it a hate breed, but I'm actually surprised you didn't pick Rise of Brutality or Satisfaction is the Death of Desire. I think Perseverance has the most motivation out of all their albums. That's number two, right? Yeah. Yeah, right on. Huh? What? Right. Okay. Mark us on. Mark us on. See. 02:17:59.240 --> 02:18:00.200 Hail Satan. 02:18:02.019 --> 02:18:06.480 Number four for me is integrity. Humanity is the devil. 02:18:07.580 --> 02:18:13.460 I don't like spending a lot of time in the gym, to be honest, so I always have this EP on hand when I am there. 02:18:14.389 --> 02:18:22.679 And when I'm ready to get furious and bang out some ultra-heavy reps, humanity is the devil gives me the crushing power I require. 02:18:25.740 --> 02:18:28.480 I can't deny that. 02:18:31.679 --> 02:18:32.320 All right, Matt. 02:18:33.519 --> 02:18:36.620 So when I'm lifting, I really like the low end. 02:18:37.000 --> 02:18:38.360 When you're lifting in Venice. 02:18:39.059 --> 02:18:39.820 You're damn right. 02:18:40.540 --> 02:18:43.960 When I'm lifting in Italy, I like the low end. 02:18:44.179 --> 02:18:46.400 So I went with down and Nola. 02:18:46.900 --> 02:18:47.519 Oh, wow. 02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:48.580 Old school. 02:18:49.219 --> 02:18:50.599 That is old school shit. 02:18:50.760 --> 02:18:51.400 That's 90s. 02:18:52.420 --> 02:18:53.480 That's a good choice. 02:18:54.240 --> 02:18:54.639 Mm-hmm. 02:18:55.600 --> 02:19:24.400 All right. John. So Jay will probably be proud of this pick. One, because of the band, and two, because I didn't go cliche. But I went with the hardcores dude ever in fucking hard rock and metal. Motorhead Iron Fist. I want the dude who lived the fucking life. I'm in the suburbs. I'm hardcore. I don't want that. 02:19:24.700 --> 02:19:52.860 Not like fucking butch. I want the fucking dude that lived it who said, if I'm going to wear shorts, they're going to ride my fucking ass because those are what shorts are. See you at Applebee's. I mean, let's be honest. Lemmy is fucking hardcore. Yeah. Lemmy is the only guy in metal or any other genre that can rock the short shorts. Short shorts. And tell you how you're wrong for not wearing short shorts. 02:19:54.720 --> 02:20:23.460 R.I.P. Lemmy. R.I.P. All right, Will. Rest in power, Lemmy. My number four, and I toyed with putting this a lot higher on my list, but it slipped down because the last 10 albums they put out were absolute garbage, but Macedon, Leviathan, the opening riff of Blood and Thunder is like done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done. 02:20:23.600 --> 02:20:53.520 It's just that is something that I literally probably played that song more often than any other song when I was in the gym. When were you on the gym last? It's been a couple years. I was in the gym today, motherfucker. Well, you know, anyway, not that it fucking shows. He has kids. They are his gym. All that matters is when you're going to get in there. 02:20:53.600 --> 02:20:56.540 Next, that's all I'm going to give this shit. 02:20:57.500 --> 02:20:58.240 Just so much. 02:20:58.860 --> 02:21:00.360 I'm not going to be able to move tomorrow. 02:21:00.480 --> 02:21:02.180 I totally kicked my ass. 02:21:04.240 --> 02:21:04.460 Anyway. 02:21:04.880 --> 02:21:05.040 All right. 02:21:05.080 --> 02:21:05.420 Oh, hey. 02:21:05.560 --> 02:21:07.560 I guess it's me. 02:21:09.080 --> 02:21:17.940 My number four is probably should be higher up my list because I listen to this all the frickin' time when I work out. 02:21:18.620 --> 02:21:21.480 And this is Full of Hell, Trumpeting Ecstasy. 02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:22.700 Good choice. 02:21:23.360 --> 02:21:53.320 I mean that fucking that fucking kicks my ass working out so yeah you know what I love about that album is they played Atlas and that was the night that the fire marshal showed up and shut it down yeah the trees the trees are full of misery the trees are full of misery game over man game over yeah I like that drunken George drops more F-bombs than a fight school album fuck you man fuck 02:21:53.360 --> 02:22:22.740 You got to say, motherfucker. Fucking bullshit. Fucking bullshit. All right, then back to fucking Butch for number three. All right, number three for me is going to be an album by Obituary. It's called The Uncomplete. Wow. And I think it's one of the best heavy metal albums ever made, and there's something about those big chunky riffs. 02:22:23.360 --> 02:22:53.320 that just make me fucking pumped to just lift and run and just kick some fucking ass. And it's one of the best albums ever, man. Something about chunky asses? What? Did I say chunky ass? Is that what you like? Chunky rips kicking ass. I love how the more hardcore 02:22:53.360 --> 02:23:22.160 The more homoerotic he gets. As always. You get what you pay for. You don't pay for me. I'm free. That's why you get what you pay for. Last money ever spent. If you paid for it, you'd probably get something cute and young like Matt. Yeah. Wait, what? Free is old and shitty like me. 02:23:24.301 --> 02:23:52.940 All right, then. Mark us on, number three. All right, number three for me, Archangel, Dead Man Walking. Archangel is one of the heaviest hardcore bands of all time because it's mixed with Chug Heavy Thrash. And when I throw this one on, I actually feel like I get spiritually charged strength. Planet Fitness never stands a chance against my angel power. 02:23:53.899 --> 02:24:23.240 Do you go to Planet Fitness? I don't anymore because I'm too tough for that. Yeah, I go there. Two days a week. I go to a different gym two other days of the week. Yeah, you know, I did actually used to go there, George, when I was working in an office and that's where the Celine Dion came on. I wear headphones, but yeah, Saturday and Sundays, that's my Planet Fitness days. Hey, George, my KFC is not a gym, by the way. Oh, I know. 02:24:24.420 --> 02:24:52.840 I am at the gym literally four days a week. I know it doesn't look like it, but I do. I don't know what to say about that, man. Jesus Christ. Fuck. Tell me the name of the gym and make sure I don't go to that one. Sheesh. I know I suck. I'm not laughing at you. You're doing a good job, Josh. I'm really not. Bush told us to get into fights. We're getting into fights. Yeah, man. I'm going to. 02:24:53.360 --> 02:24:56.420 This is some soft work that's going on. 02:24:56.420 --> 02:24:57.540 We've got to work the beer off first. 02:24:58.000 --> 02:25:01.500 Yeah, but at the end of it all, Will and I are going to make up sex. 02:25:04.560 --> 02:25:05.560 Well, hey. 02:25:07.200 --> 02:25:08.200 That's pretty weird, bro. 02:25:08.420 --> 02:25:08.760 All right. 02:25:08.980 --> 02:25:09.620 Matt, what's yours? 02:25:13.520 --> 02:25:15.880 Number three is my heart will go on. 02:25:21.360 --> 02:25:22.700 That's pretty weird, bro. 02:25:23.881 --> 02:25:52.420 Everything about this podcast is pretty weird, bro. The best thing about my number three is if you put it on repeat, you go from Into the Void to Sweet Leaf. Black Sabbath, Masters of Reality. Oh, I love that album. Donor Lifting. Yeah. It's got the low end. The low end is what I need. Solitude. Solitude. Nice. Yeah, Masters. 02:25:53.360 --> 02:25:55.380 All right. All right, John. 02:25:56.080 --> 02:25:59.340 My number three. It's fast. It's sludgy. It's proggy. 02:26:00.660 --> 02:26:03.400 It's about a bunch of sea creatures and mythical beasts. 02:26:03.680 --> 02:26:05.660 We'll see if these ring any bells for you. 02:26:06.301 --> 02:26:06.820 Cephalopod. 02:26:07.540 --> 02:26:08.560 Iron Tusk. 02:26:10.181 --> 02:26:11.200 Beautiful audience. 02:26:12.080 --> 02:26:12.760 Are you serious? 02:26:14.320 --> 02:26:14.840 Megalodon. 02:26:15.540 --> 02:26:17.960 Blood and motherfucking stack. 02:26:18.650 --> 02:26:18.780 Thunder. 02:26:20.720 --> 02:26:22.240 He fucking messed it on, bitches. 02:26:25.759 --> 02:26:51.520 Matt and John had strapping young lad cities as their number five. Yeah, dude. That's good. It's just. Oh, fuck you. If you think Leviathan, it's not good. I'm just kidding. And maybe we're sharing a hotel room in Philly. What do you make of that? Yeah, I don't know what that means, but we're all going to Matt's room. Exactly. Well, well, well, well, Matt's room is just a workout bench. 02:26:52.340 --> 02:27:18.980 Yeah, I've got one bed, so it's basically tic-tac-toe and ring toss, so let's do it. Hey, Marcus, he's not going to have a fucking Smith machine because he can use tons of stuff on a Smith machine. For those of you who lift, you know what a Smith machine is. Ring toss. All right, Will. Oh, it's so big about ring toss. 02:27:22.340 --> 02:27:51.660 All right. I am a man alone on the island on this one. So there's a late 80s, early 90s thrash band, thrash death-ish band, Forced Entry. Oh, yeah. Their album Uncertain Future. Man, this was when I was active duty in the Marine Corps, I put this album on a lot. 02:27:52.340 --> 02:27:53.580 to lift weights to. 02:27:54.320 --> 02:27:54.860 John, okay. 02:27:55.560 --> 02:27:56.640 Back when you lifted weights? 02:27:58.140 --> 02:27:58.240 Yeah. 02:27:58.880 --> 02:27:59.960 Now you just lift beers? 02:28:01.080 --> 02:28:01.940 Yeah, pretty much. 02:28:03.800 --> 02:28:04.380 And kids. 02:28:04.780 --> 02:28:05.240 And kids. 02:28:05.960 --> 02:28:06.060 Yeah. 02:28:06.600 --> 02:28:10.560 Oh, I would say I can't wait for all you fuckers to have kids. 02:28:10.800 --> 02:28:11.600 Matt has, too. 02:28:12.140 --> 02:28:12.400 I do. 02:28:12.979 --> 02:28:14.060 And they're fucking heavy. 02:28:14.580 --> 02:28:17.380 Well, at least you don't have to worry about your wife, because I have her. 02:28:17.580 --> 02:28:18.920 The rest of us are you and I. 02:28:19.000 --> 02:28:48.860 She did say something about double rainbow trapped in closet Hawaii Honolulu. Don't come get me. So that's good and bad. She literally sent me a photo in Honolulu of a double rainbow. There's rainbows here every day. Double rainbow. Double rainbow. You know I was thinking today how I was like oh man Hawaii is out in the middle of nowhere. They're not going to have any Corona. 02:28:49.600 --> 02:29:18.160 But you do. You do. Not until one fucker gets on there. Well. Then you're fucked. Yeah. All right. My number three is one that it's been forever. And this is number three Slayer Rain in Blood. Nice. That album always fucking pumps me. It pumps my nads, dude. 02:29:20.601 --> 02:29:48.800 Wow, you must have huge balls. I do, actually. I'm old. They're very large. Very large. So, yeah. All right. Back to Butch for number two. All right. So, the next one I want to mention is, you know, an album called Meantime. It's by a band called Helmet. 02:29:49.000 --> 02:30:18.340 Nice! And, uh, you know, we can argue about whether it's metal or not or whatever, but it's fucking heavy. It's heavy. You know, back in the day, this was called death metal. In the meantime. It's heavy as shit, and it's pissed off, and it's raw, and it just makes you want to smash shit against the wall, and that's what's important. Iron head. Yeah. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Yeah. 02:30:18.980 --> 02:30:48.920 It's just a fucking great album to put on when you're getting pumped up. And I recommend that you do that. Yeah, I remember reading about that. At some point on this podcast, we had this discussion whether Meantime was metal or not. Because it kind of came out in the 90s. And I think it was an unfortunate period for this album to come out because I felt like this was like, like this was in that category of like prong. Right, right, right. Rolling Stone said Meantime, 02:30:49.560 --> 02:30:51.520 this new death metal album. 02:30:51.800 --> 02:30:53.000 They literally said that. 02:30:53.680 --> 02:30:54.640 And I was like, what? 02:30:54.820 --> 02:30:56.000 They fucked that up. 02:30:56.060 --> 02:30:57.260 It's not a fucking death metal album. 02:30:57.260 --> 02:30:57.880 It is not. 02:30:58.120 --> 02:30:58.660 It is not. 02:30:58.820 --> 02:31:01.820 But at the time, they didn't fucking know. 02:31:02.919 --> 02:31:05.960 Whoever wrote that didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. 02:31:06.080 --> 02:31:07.840 And they were full of fucking shit. 02:31:08.480 --> 02:31:08.640 Yeah. 02:31:09.440 --> 02:31:10.100 Fuck them. 02:31:11.120 --> 02:31:11.480 Guess what? 02:31:11.640 --> 02:31:13.700 They still don't know what the fuck they're talking about. 02:31:13.740 --> 02:31:15.480 Even if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. 02:31:15.500 --> 02:31:16.840 But it's still a cool album. 02:31:17.520 --> 02:31:47.280 Dude, it's heavy as shit no matter what genre you're into. And it's raw and it's heavy and it gets you pumped. And that's what's important. I feel like there's this like... We are here to pump you up. There's a correlation between Helmet and... Shaft. Deftones. So they both came out with these super heavy albums right around the same time with Adrenaline and Mean Time. And then after that, 02:31:47.900 --> 02:32:16.520 The helmet kind of went off the deep end. Not the deep end, but they kind of went off into the realm of Melvins and stuff with Betty and all that stuff. And then the depth also went kind of off the deep end with, not the deep end, but they just kind of went in a different direction. They got more experimental. The shitty end. Way more, like, I don't want, it's not even progress. It's definitely not the right word, but they just got more experimental. I'm okay through Aftertaste. Yeah. 02:32:17.500 --> 02:32:47.260 Aftertaste quite a bit, actually. Although those songs are simpler on that album. They're awesome live, though. Every time they come into town, I definitely go to that show. They're fun. And Paige Hamilton always stays after to talk to people and sign autographs, so it's really fucking awesome. Cool. Good choice. Meantime. I like that. I love Helmet. Yeah, I'm serious. Listen to it next time you go to whatever it is you do, whether you're exercising, 02:32:47.500 --> 02:33:16.180 walking around the block where you're lifting motherfucking weights. You know, put on Meantime, it'll get you fucking pumped, I promise you. Or jazzercising. I would, there's a record company that put out an album where they had different metal bands do covers of Meantime, and it's fucking phenomenal. Oh, shit. I gotta hear that. Yes, they do a lot of bands, like covers. They're doing Alice in Chains, and Chemist is gonna be on it. Wow. 02:33:18.779 --> 02:33:47.440 I've gotten all their albums that they've done, but they do a lot of those classic rock slash metal albums and get some really cool bands to do the covers. So definitely check it out. I can't remember the name of the record label for some reason. I'll have to send it to you guys. All right. So it's me, right? Number two. All right. Those next two bands are huge for me when I was growing up in central New York and the hardcore scene. 02:33:47.520 --> 02:34:17.480 and very influential. Both of these bands are very influential in the scene. And number two for me is Snapcase, Progression Through Unlearning. This is an intense, timeless, hardcore album from a highly influential Buffalo, New York band, which is where my mom grew up. I saw them a lot live, because again, I grew up in central New York, chugging guitars, really upfront drumming on this thing. And it instantly incites a riotous response from me, even 02:34:17.580 --> 02:34:47.480 today. I broke at least 350 bottles and five faces to the song. Nice. So Zombie Prescription is such a good song. So you can just imagine what I fucking do to dumbbells when I put this motherfucker on. That's a good choice, man. That's a good band and that's a good choice. Yes, it should be on your list as a hardcore singer. All right. Matt. My number two is probably the 02:34:47.580 --> 02:35:17.240 Newest Entry on my list, but will probably be the least surprising, and that is Two Mold Planetary Clairvoyance. Nice. Yes. That is surprising. But also good. Such a good one. I have done that one. Yeah, it's fabulous to work out to. And also plug the Metal Heads podcast number one album of 2019. Yeah, I've done that at the gym, definitely. All right, Joan. 02:35:18.540 --> 02:35:46.400 So, technically, this is a comeback album because the previous albums before it sucked a bag of super shit. But anyway. Dicks. Yes. And Dicks, too. I'm going to just read you some song titles. If these song titles don't get you fucking pumped up, the songs will. Hell Patrol. All Guns Blazing. Metal fucking Meltdown. Between the Hammer and your fucking Angel. 02:35:47.460 --> 02:36:17.420 This is the fucking painkiller. Judas Priest painkiller. Yeah. Good choice. Nice. I used to talk about a comeback album. TR and I had this conversation the other day. Come on your back album. Yeah. Well, that too. Seriously. Wait, wait. Oh, yeah. Shit. I mean, they put out some garbage before this. Come back with this thing. Fuck. Wait, wait, wait. You're saying Turbo and Ram It Down 02:36:22.421 --> 02:36:24.320 I'm your turbo lover motherfucker 02:36:26.521 --> 02:36:31.220 and blood red skies is some serious fucking badassness just saying 02:36:31.680 --> 02:36:36.560 it's okay I don't know if you know but they released the record store day stuff and 02:36:37.200 --> 02:36:42.960 there's two Judas Priest albums on record store day and one of them is sad wings of destiny which is one of my all time favorites 02:36:43.180 --> 02:36:43.660 oh yeah 02:36:45.141 --> 02:37:12.800 Yes, thank you for mentioning that, and I did know that. Awesome. All right, well. My number two, creator, Extreme Aggression. Nice. I remember when this, I saw, I discovered this band when MTV was still a thing, and it came out with a video, 02:37:13.680 --> 02:37:43.600 4, Betrayer. Betrayer. I just thought this was the craziest goddamn thing ever. Some German thrash band. And I bought this album, and I love every single fucking song on this album. Yeah, that's a great album. I listened to this many, many, many times. Way, way, way, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I started going to the gym when I was about 14. 02:37:43.660 --> 02:38:12.380 or 15 with my friends in the neighborhood. My friend's dad was a big weightlifter, like a huge dude. He used to take all those scrawny little kids like me to the gym, his son and all of us to the gym with him. But this is what I would listen to. My Sony Walkman on a tape. Dude. I had this on a tape. I had extreme aggression on tape. You know why? Because I got it from the Columbia fucking tape. Metal and tape fucking. 02:38:17.601 --> 02:38:41.420 Yeah, man. That is how old that album is. Extreme aggression slash Columbia record and tape club. And we're laughing because of all the faces going. But yes, great choice, dude. 02:38:47.039 --> 02:39:11.300 My number two, I'm just gonna go. I'm just gonna go. My number two, Will will like this one. Cannibal Corpse. Kill. Time to kill is now. The time to kill is now. That is by far the best Cannibal Corpse album ever. It's fucking amazing. It is fucking awesome. 02:39:16.181 --> 02:39:42.940 A lot of Cannibal Quartz albums are good for the gym. Always. Totally. All right. Number one, Butch. My number one is By a Bland. No, it's a band called Fleawood Mac. What? Rumors. 02:39:43.660 --> 02:40:12.840 It's an album called Rumors. It's for a few reasons. One is Rumors just get fucking pumped just in general. The song You Make Love and Fun, it gets me fucking psyched and it makes me just want to smash shit. The whole album just makes me want to fucking smash shit. Fucking Rumors. Motherfucking. 02:40:13.720 --> 02:40:43.640 Fleetwood Mac. Are you serious? Fuck anybody who doesn't like it. I'm dead motherfucking serious about fucking rumors by Fleetwood Mac. You know, hey, it doesn't have to be a metal album, right? Well, it does, but that's okay. No, it doesn't. Oh, God. Whatever you say. It's fucking rumors by Fleetwood Mac. That album sounds amazing. Rumors of the air like Fleetwood Mac. Every fucking goddamn song on that album is fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking 02:40:43.660 --> 02:40:44.460 It's fucking amazing. 02:40:47.030 --> 02:40:48.620 It fucking kicks ass. 02:40:49.320 --> 02:40:53.020 And yeah, I'll take it to my grave. 02:40:53.740 --> 02:40:55.000 The album is fucking great. 02:40:57.121 --> 02:40:59.900 And I like to listen to it when I exercise. 02:41:00.470 --> 02:41:01.360 You know, whenever. 02:41:01.580 --> 02:41:03.820 How soon are you going to die to take that with you? 02:41:05.540 --> 02:41:07.000 It doesn't matter, you know. 02:41:07.760 --> 02:41:09.560 It doesn't matter the clothes you wear. 02:41:09.860 --> 02:41:10.560 It doesn't matter. 02:41:12.061 --> 02:41:13.660 I don't care how much 02:41:14.860 --> 02:41:16.180 Butch drops the F-bomb. 02:41:16.300 --> 02:41:17.920 I'm going to come beat his hobbit ass 02:41:18.140 --> 02:41:19.260 and take over FightScope. 02:41:19.390 --> 02:41:20.160 This is ridiculous. 02:41:25.201 --> 02:41:27.120 Show me what you got. 02:41:27.400 --> 02:41:29.400 Here's the real hardcore at number one. 02:41:30.300 --> 02:41:31.920 Show me what you got. 02:41:32.460 --> 02:41:34.040 Well, I don't even have to 02:41:34.130 --> 02:41:35.180 because you already lost 02:41:35.250 --> 02:41:36.400 without even me saying anything. 02:41:37.100 --> 02:41:37.460 Y'all. 02:41:37.740 --> 02:41:39.160 My number one. 02:41:40.800 --> 02:42:08.460 My number one is Earth Crisis Firestorm. Growing up in Syracuse, New York, Earth Crisis was huge. They were also one of the most divisive bands in the 90s scene because they were straight edge, they were ultra militant because they were against animal testing, the violation of human rights. I really like this band so much. I actually tried to go straight edge and it lasted for two hours. 02:42:08.840 --> 02:42:37.680 Because I could not resist the chicken nuggets in my college cafeteria. Nice. So, but despite not identifying with the band's way of life. God damn, that bar was low. It really was. I love meat. I love meat. I love meat. I love meat. God damn it. Were you hammered? Shitty. Probably. I thought you were going to say like I couldn't withhold from that tasty IPA that I just love and I drink. 02:42:38.820 --> 02:43:08.800 The Chicken Nuggets. The fucking Chicken Nuggets. You didn't even try. I didn't try. No, I really didn't want to try. I just, you know, I liked hardcore and I wanted, I thought I wanted to try and I could not. But despite not identifying with the band's way of life, I always responded to the music because their anger-fueled, brutal tracks never failed to fire me up. So when I think of crushing anything, I always think of the riffs on Firestorm and the singer called 02:43:08.840 --> 02:43:35.100 Buechner screaming a firestorm to purify. Like, I don't know if you guys know these songs at all, but they rip. So if I could find it, I will play it. I saw Earth Crisis at the... Here we go. Listen to this fucking shit. How do you not get pumped up for this? 02:43:45.259 --> 02:43:46.520 All right, all right. 02:43:49.319 --> 02:43:58.760 It's funny because just the other day, my good buddy Chop, him and I went to Iraq together in 2003. 02:44:00.199 --> 02:44:05.400 And he lives out in L.A. now, but he was back here in D.C. area. 02:44:05.440 --> 02:44:08.540 And he stopped by the house last Monday, and we had a beer and stuff. 02:44:11.119 --> 02:44:13.200 He used to be a huge 02:44:13.580 --> 02:44:14.700 hardcore straight edge 02:44:14.790 --> 02:44:16.900 and he actually knew the Earth Crisis guys 02:44:17.020 --> 02:44:18.240 and I remember seeing the Rock and Roll 02:44:18.840 --> 02:44:20.920 at the Rock and Roll Hotel in D.C. 02:44:21.640 --> 02:44:23.980 seeing Earth Crisis with my buddy Chop 02:44:24.300 --> 02:44:25.520 and then he knew the band 02:44:25.720 --> 02:44:27.080 because he was a big straight edge kid 02:44:27.200 --> 02:44:28.460 and somehow he knew them 02:44:29.220 --> 02:44:32.300 and I went up and met the lead guy 02:44:32.350 --> 02:44:33.020 in Earth Crisis 02:44:34.779 --> 02:44:36.200 Did you have a good time, Will? 02:44:38.119 --> 02:44:38.560 Pineapple 02:44:41.779 --> 02:45:08.520 Yeah, no, they had great tracks. I mean, you couldn't understand most of the lyrics anyway, so it really was the music that I responded to. And they're from Syracuse, so they were just everywhere. So I would see them quite a bit, and I always loved them, and I still listen to the albums quite a bit. That's it. Next. Next. Oh, Matt. Nice. Good choice, Matt. 02:45:09.759 --> 02:45:38.200 I feel like my number one is fairly obvious. It is Cannibal Corpse. Evisceration Plague. I listen to this every time I work out. And I love it. All right, then. That's it. Nothing? Like, no praise for this? Like, this is... We have a number two Cannibal Corpse. We have a number one at Cannibal Corpse. I'm pretty sure this will not be John's number one. But anyway, 02:45:38.580 --> 02:46:08.520 No, but my number one is pretty fucking cool. It's like the angriest dude in metal in the 80s. Not even close. He was pissed off at everything. The album cover is pissed off. And for those of us who remember the 80s and albums, this first side, you couldn't get a better fucking first side in metal. Wake Up Dead, The Conjuring, Peace Cells, and Devil's Island. It's just an onslaught of fucking thrash. 02:46:08.580 --> 02:46:38.460 And he was pissed because he got booted from his previous band. He sells, but who's buying? I'm surprised to hear a Dave Mustaine album on your list. Why? I love early Megadeth. I love it. He was pissed off. He was angry. He was on the heroin. And he cried in that movie with Lars and they sucked each other off for five minutes. But seriously, if you just want fast paces, 02:46:39.400 --> 02:47:05.240 That's a good choice. I'm with that. Yeah, I could live to that shit. Yeah. Especially Devil's Island, you know. Devil's Island. Yeah, no, for sure. Is it the song Black Friday? Yeah, that song is on side two. Yeah, it's like, I think it's Black Friday was like, who fought it? 02:47:08.600 --> 02:47:38.320 Good morning. Friday. Yeah. Who fought Ed? Yeah. Jaded. Yeah, he is. So we can blame him. All right. Is it me? It's you. My numero uno. Cannibal Corpse. Time to kill us now. Time to kill us now. It's funny because as soon as George mentioned it, I took a screenshot. 02:47:38.560 --> 02:48:08.400 I took a picture of my screen of my pics. I just sent it to George. Yep. Because my number one is Cannibal Corpse Kill. Fucking badass. Oh, God. I just fucking love that. That is an album that you just want to fucking destroy shit, kill shit, and pump weights. I listen to that all the time. I like how it says pump weights as an afterthought. No, seriously. Gym or not. 02:48:08.580 --> 02:48:37.300 But maybe I'll pump some weights. I will say this. I will say this, guys. When all is said and done, pump weights. Yeah, I will say this to all of you. Before I got wicked case of Lyme disease, I was the most in-shape, fucking cut, crossfit, fucking, what was that? Tough Mudder racing United States Marine Corps ass-kicking motherfucker. Like, you guys don't know me. 02:48:38.460 --> 02:49:08.360 You guys know me now. You don't know me what I used to do. Right. We don't want to. We like sloppy will. Yeah. No, I'm totally a big sloppy will now. It's about this time Will discovered the glory hole. Do you have Lyme disease? Dude, I had a super, super bad Lyme disease for a long time. I was on antibiotics for like a year. Did not know that. That was my downfall. Did you have to wear pants? No. 02:49:08.460 --> 02:49:38.400 No pants. As long as there's no pants. Nothing changed. You still weren't wearing pants. That's what you're saying. They said they had to check my testicles and my colon. Fuck. It's weird that they used the blue dildo, but you know. You didn't let it bring you down, did you? He kept fighting. You didn't let it bring you down. Bring me down. You can't bring me down. You didn't let it bring you down. Wait, was that like suicidal? Fuck that shit. You were like, fuck that shit. 02:49:41.520 --> 02:50:08.400 I just wanted a Pepsi. Yeah. All right. Anyway, George, number one. My number one is anything. I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet. Anything Manowar. I want to wear clothes at the gym. I don't want to be in a fucking loincloth. Nah, man. Anything Manowar is good to work out to. 02:50:11.560 --> 02:50:12.280 Just saying. 02:50:12.739 --> 02:50:13.100 Yeah. 02:50:13.660 --> 02:50:14.780 Everybody doesn't agree. 02:50:15.220 --> 02:50:15.520 Yeah. 02:50:15.940 --> 02:50:16.580 Well, you can fucking. 02:50:16.740 --> 02:50:17.200 Are you working on. 02:50:17.670 --> 02:50:18.220 Are you working on. 02:50:18.340 --> 02:50:19.540 Hand on the shaft. 02:50:19.880 --> 02:50:20.220 Or what do you. 02:50:20.340 --> 02:50:20.920 What do you work out. 02:50:21.100 --> 02:50:21.200 Dude. 02:50:21.590 --> 02:50:21.680 Seriously. 02:50:22.100 --> 02:50:23.020 Anything man of war. 02:50:23.360 --> 02:50:24.820 Is fucking awesome to work out to. 02:50:26.700 --> 02:50:27.300 Fucking butch. 02:50:27.420 --> 02:50:27.720 Come on. 02:50:28.380 --> 02:50:28.920 Back me up here. 02:50:28.920 --> 02:50:29.460 I'm with you on that. 02:50:29.540 --> 02:50:29.940 The album. 02:50:31.000 --> 02:50:31.960 Louder Than Hell. 02:50:32.500 --> 02:50:32.660 Yeah. 02:50:32.780 --> 02:50:35.840 It's one of the ultimate workout albums of all time. 02:50:36.180 --> 02:50:36.260 Exactly. 02:50:36.630 --> 02:50:37.000 Number one. 02:50:37.140 --> 02:51:05.940 It talks about burning muscles, feel the pain. Yeah, man. Manowar. Come on now. Exactly. Suck it. Manowar. All right. Manowar what? Exactly. So, all right. There we are. I have to pee really bad. So I have to take a break before we get into the next thing. That's disgusting. We're going to fucking crush this. I know. Sick. 02:51:07.140 --> 02:51:37.100 That's fucking... We're gonna take a break. We're gonna do one of... You're listening to the Metalheads Podcast. Take your pants off and have a beer. All right. Whoa. Crushing another fucking can of beer. I know. Dude, we're almost done. This is the last one. I'm pretty fucked up. Yeah, me too. I don't think I've... I swear a lot and I've said fuck probably more tonight than I have in a long time. You've gotten into it, Sean. You've definitely... 02:51:37.140 --> 02:51:57.560 My goal was to make this the episode that has the most swear words. The most fuckiest. The episode where George says, you're not going to believe this, but we got a letter. We're in trouble. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to what we are listening to. 02:52:16.721 --> 02:52:37.040 What are you listening to? I'm not listening to anything. All right. Well, then moving on. If I can mark it up. No, seriously. What are you listening to? Pretty much nothing. Yeah. Okay. 02:52:37.921 --> 02:53:06.700 Are we serious? I don't have time to listen to shit because I'm lifting. I'm too busy breaking shit. Okay, I guess I'm going. What am I listening to? Let's see. Kvane. Oh, yeah. Funeral Pyre. This is a black and speed metal with pagan and Viking metal influences. I really enjoy this one. Black Royal, Fire Bride. 02:53:07.140 --> 02:53:37.080 A New Dawn. It's a catchy combo of Scandinavian death metal and sludge. Sky Forest, A New Dawn. It's really good atmospheric black metal with equal parts melancholy and hope. Our friend Josh, who was on the last cast, recommended this one on our Facebook page. So thank you, Josh. Sons of a Wanted Man, Konoma. This is my album of the month for February. It's really powerful black and post metal. Just whip crack riffs. Great songwriter. 02:53:37.120 --> 02:54:07.100 I can't get enough of this album actually Volcandra into the Azure this is a melodic black metal with the thrash parts in it and fantastic solos throughout this album I'm really into this one never really heard of the band sold recently so yeah I almost confused it with Volcandra the dissection like black metal band not the same band 02:54:07.140 --> 02:54:36.980 No, no, Volcandra. Yeah, they're really good. Earthrot, Black Tides of Obscurity. It's really ultra-creative, heavy-as-fuck death metal with lots of tricks in it. This one may beat out Plague as my benchmark for death metal album of the year. I have to spin it a few more times, but I just talked about Plague, and now this thing came along. Say the name again. Earthrot, Black Tides of Obscurity. 02:54:37.120 --> 02:55:07.060 You haven't heard that one, Will? It came out today. Yeah. Super good, man. Yes. Yeah, this is a lot going on out of that album. I think you'll dig it, Will. And then I limited it to seven, and my last one is Beast of Revelation, the Ancient Ritual of Death. This is a slow-crushing death doom from the writhing blood-soaked balls in the netherworld. And it features a guitarist, bassist, AJ Van Drenth of Temple, 02:55:08.480 --> 02:55:35.760 ex-asphix drummer Bob Backus on Skins and John McEntee from Incantation on Vocals. And I just heard about this, I don't know, maybe like last week. I didn't even know this thing was coming out. But I really dig this one quite a bit. It came out today. He said Asphix. Say the name again. What's that? Say the name again. Asphix. 02:55:40.261 --> 02:56:07.000 The Ancient Ritual of Death. Yeah, I love it. Incantation is one of my all-time favorite bands. I love Incantation. And John McEntee's vocals on here are fucking awesome. The whole album is a really slow death theme. I love how it's kind of like plods along. Very different from any of the bands that the members are a part of. Cool. As a podcast, we interviewed John McEnchee, 02:56:07.800 --> 02:56:08.120 Once. 02:56:09.300 --> 02:56:10.840 At the Despel Men of the Beer Fest. 02:56:11.700 --> 02:56:11.900 Whoa. 02:56:13.140 --> 02:56:13.620 He was cool. 02:56:14.780 --> 02:56:15.680 Yeah, I've never met him. 02:56:15.820 --> 02:56:18.400 He was very tolerant of our drunken tomfoolery. 02:56:18.660 --> 02:56:19.680 Yeah, I didn't meet him either. 02:56:19.840 --> 02:56:21.760 He was down for that interview. 02:56:22.080 --> 02:56:22.440 Oh, yeah? 02:56:22.740 --> 02:56:23.420 That was a lot of fun. 02:56:23.600 --> 02:56:24.760 I've got to listen to that one. 02:56:24.880 --> 02:56:26.420 Was that the year I wasn't there? 02:56:26.740 --> 02:56:27.380 You were not there. 02:56:27.520 --> 02:56:27.640 Yeah. 02:56:28.060 --> 02:56:29.760 I think it was just Will, Jay, and I. 02:56:29.880 --> 02:56:29.980 Yeah. 02:56:30.160 --> 02:56:30.320 Yeah. 02:56:30.900 --> 02:56:31.140 Nice. 02:56:31.300 --> 02:56:31.580 Yeah, man. 02:56:32.399 --> 02:56:35.760 Incantation is usually my go-to band. 02:56:36.440 --> 02:57:06.380 I love them. I love all their stuff they've done. Yeah. Nice. All right, Matt. All right. Plague. Portraits of Mind. Offer Redefining Darkness, the first album from a Greek death metal band. We've talked about them a little bit. Those Snakes. The album is called Widowmaker. They are a UK metal archive. Describes them as a psychedelic thrift. 02:57:33.820 --> 02:57:35.820 I did not realize 02:57:35.840 --> 02:58:05.080 It's their fifth album. I did not know of them since Decibel last year. They are a Canadian grandcore band. They're fabulous. I also came across a split between Eddivisma, who is from France, and Voidrot, who I found out tonight is from Minneapolis, so fuck me, story of my life. That is on Everlasting Spew Records out of Italy. And then the promo for which, can we talk about the promo? Yes. 02:58:05.800 --> 02:58:34.520 Okay. From Tip to the Void, the world that was. I mean, holy fuck. Third album from a Detroit and Death Doom band via Shadow Kingdom Records. It is amazing. Yeah. I've listened to it like six times. What do you guys think of it? I think it's great. I think Will's going to hate the fact that they're playing vocals. Yeah. But it's good. We'll get to Will. 02:58:36.320 --> 02:59:04.940 Yeah, we'll talk about that later. Shut that shit down. We'll talk about that later. Shut it down. I like a box of chocolates. Shut down now. Yeah. Anything else, Matt? No, that's about it for me. All right, then. John? All right. This is my version of a George list. It's not that long. Is it alphabetical? I've never been that long. 02:59:05.200 --> 02:59:06.360 I'm very short. 02:59:07.440 --> 02:59:07.700 All right. 02:59:07.800 --> 02:59:08.920 So we mentioned dark fortress. 02:59:09.240 --> 02:59:09.980 I'm digging that album. 02:59:10.140 --> 02:59:10.460 It's good. 02:59:11.040 --> 02:59:11.160 Uh, 02:59:11.400 --> 02:59:11.600 Marcus, 02:59:11.700 --> 02:59:12.920 I mentioned earth rot, 02:59:13.460 --> 02:59:14.500 black tides of obscurity. 02:59:14.620 --> 02:59:16.840 I've been kind of waiting for this cause I heard the first single come out. 02:59:17.280 --> 02:59:19.100 I would add a little more to what he said. 02:59:19.160 --> 02:59:21.100 I think it's actually black and death metal. 02:59:21.800 --> 02:59:21.900 Uh, 02:59:22.420 --> 02:59:24.200 it has a little bit of that on there. 02:59:24.580 --> 02:59:24.680 Well, 02:59:24.680 --> 02:59:25.680 I think you will dig this. 02:59:25.940 --> 02:59:26.240 Definitely. 02:59:26.340 --> 02:59:27.100 It's in your wheelhouse, 02:59:27.720 --> 02:59:28.060 but it's, 02:59:28.220 --> 02:59:29.200 it's heavy as fuck. 02:59:29.720 --> 02:59:29.840 Yeah. 02:59:30.040 --> 02:59:31.780 But it's got kind of a, 02:59:31.980 --> 02:59:32.200 um, 02:59:32.580 --> 02:59:33.780 I don't want to say black and roll. 02:59:33.860 --> 02:59:34.360 It's not that, 02:59:34.380 --> 02:59:34.900 but it's got, 02:59:34.920 --> 03:00:04.320 a kind of cool vibe to some of the songs that you would expect from a normal death or black and death band. Like I said, it has a lot of tricks to it, which I like in death metal albums. Yeah. What's the name of it? It's Earth Rot, Black Tides of Obscurity. It's obscure. Okay, I have obscurity here. I copied it from. No, no, no, no. I was making a joke that the album was obscure. It's not obscure. 03:00:04.940 --> 03:00:34.880 4.5 on Angry Metal fucking guy. Whoa, excuse me. Is it Obscura? No, Obscura's from Germany. Damn it. It's not. It's originally from Canada, from Gore Guts. Wait, what? Are we ignoring Angry Metal guy this time, or are we, like, embracing Angry Metal guy this time? I think Marcus, I don't agree. I was surprised he had a 4.5. I wouldn't give it a 4.5. Yeah, but it's good. It's all. It definitely would be flirting. 03:00:34.940 --> 03:01:04.320 with a four. I give it a... So fuck Anger, Melinda. 4.12. Or not. 4.4875. You know what drags it down for me? They do some talking on it. I don't really like talking. I hate talking. What's worse? Clean singing or talking? Oh, God. Children singing. The only part you like is on Envy because it's like in Japanese and it's kind of sexy. 03:01:04.400 --> 03:01:31.420 But on here, it doesn't... They only do it on the first couple songs, though. And then the rest of it just kicks ass all the way through. He's talking about it. He doesn't talk on the first song. He sings on that song. He sing-talks. Hey, who's fucking what's listening to is this? Yours or mine? God damn it. I have no idea. I have no idea either. The term is socks. He sing-talks. That's socks. Let me finish mine so we can all go to sleep. 03:01:34.400 --> 03:02:04.320 All right, my third band, I don't know how to say this, so I'm going to butcher it. It's Flastaris. I don't know. The album's Bloom. Oh, yeah. Bloom. Good shit. It's Dutch for the song titles Whispers in English. It's a third full release from an atmospheric black metal band from the Netherlands. This is actually really cool stuff. Yes. It's not your traditional atmospheric black metal. It's a little different, but it's, and it's short. It's only, and George, this one fits in your will. 03:02:33.740 --> 03:02:33.780 Die Sto-Tonbs. 03:02:34.460 --> 03:03:03.660 Hex and what? Hex A-D. A-D. Astro Tongue and Electric Garden. How do you spell A-D? A-D. A as in the letter A, period. D as in David, period. T? Like Tommy? D as in dicks. He is a dickhead. Oh, dicks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like dicks. Wait, wait, wait. I have a song for that. 03:03:07.399 --> 03:03:33.840 Yeah, no, we don't. It's in there somewhere. Sorry, I'm drunk. All right, let me finish my song. I got more here. Come on. Oh, my God, you're still going, John? Yeah, man. Just for me, it's a lot. Come on. It is. All right, next. At his age, Seattle helps a lot. Fuck yeah, man. Right. Nope. Nope. My next song, Intranaut, Fluid Existential Inversions. This came out just last week. I'm a big fan of Intranaut. 03:03:34.400 --> 03:04:00.420 A Rocky Post Metal Band. There's their sixth release. We were a tremendous. What? No, go ahead. Look at Rush. He's falling asleep and trying to be tough at the same time. He's going to fall over the same time. Wait, here it is. Here it is. Here it is. Hold on. I like dicks. All right. Yeah. He actually said it live time. Thanks, George, for spending 10 minutes to find the same thing I just said. I know. 03:04:04.380 --> 03:04:33.900 Let me finish. Finish already. Before Butch falls asleep. On your back. When's the last time anyone said that? All right. We mentioned Mind Dying Bright. I am liking that new album. A band that apparently they're claiming it's their debut release, but it actually came out in 2018, but I think it's a debut on Season of Mist. Psychonaut. Psychonaut. Unfold the Godman. It's a pretty good release. An album I just listened to a couple hours ago. 03:04:34.400 --> 03:04:34.940 Newt came out. 03:04:35.280 --> 03:04:38.200 Svengali, Nightmares of Our Designs and EP. 03:04:38.740 --> 03:04:40.200 These are the guys from Exist. 03:04:40.760 --> 03:04:41.540 Oh, really? 03:04:42.100 --> 03:04:42.540 Yeah. 03:04:42.760 --> 03:04:43.440 I like Exist. 03:04:44.220 --> 03:04:45.260 It's the bass player. 03:04:46.199 --> 03:04:47.080 He's in the band. 03:04:47.260 --> 03:04:48.940 Dude, from, really? 03:04:49.090 --> 03:04:49.979 From Baltimore. 03:04:51.540 --> 03:04:51.980 No, no, no. 03:04:52.080 --> 03:04:55.780 But the guy, he did the Death to All tour. 03:04:56.440 --> 03:04:56.700 Yeah. 03:04:57.180 --> 03:04:57.500 Max. 03:04:57.720 --> 03:04:59.260 He's not, it's not him, though. 03:04:59.500 --> 03:05:00.540 It's the bass player. 03:05:02.299 --> 03:05:03.400 So, it's good. 03:05:03.440 --> 03:05:31.280 I like it's in my wheelhouse. Two more. We mentioned Temple of Void. It's killer. I like it. Will, get over the clean vocals. It's one fucking song. By the way, I did not comment or say shit about it. We're just preemptively, we're just preparing for you. And by the way, they mentioned... If you want to prepare for me, then just fucking get hard and pull your pants down. It's called CVs. And you need CLs. 03:05:33.420 --> 03:06:02.940 In the promo packet we got, they mentioned their influences on the album. You can hear a lot of it on the album. There's no doubt, but we'll save that for when it officially comes out. And then the Vreadhammer, I actually liked that album. I thought that was kind of cool today. Yeah. Pour one out for Jay. That's my version of George, what you're listening to. Nice. I fell asleep totally. I get it. Will. That was only 10 albums, so you still have 30 more to go. Nah, I'm good. 03:06:04.320 --> 03:06:32.540 I got 10. I'm going to do this very quickly. Tombs, Monarchy of Shadows EP slash not EP. Don't worry about it being an EP. It's a long EP. Voarm self-titled album. These guys just played. They're from Richmond, Virginia. They just played Atlas the other day. And they played Atlas two or three times before this. 03:06:33.440 --> 03:07:03.000 The First Time I've actually caught them in Atlas. And holy crap for black metal that doesn't suck. Holy shit these guys do not suck. And then I saw that Heavy Temple had Clit Burton which is the Instagram. Clit Burton is the Instagram name of I forget her name but she's the lead of Heavy Temple. So it's a female. 03:07:03.020 --> 03:07:31.780 Decibel last year, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right on. She had the Bootsy Collins base. Yeah, Bootsy Collins base, right. And then preparing for Decibel, which will not be canceled. We'll find out next month. And then I don't know why I did not mention this on the last podcast, but I bought the Colosso album. 03:07:33.020 --> 03:08:02.980 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Yeah. I like how the, the, there's a four, I think there's four songs in the album and it's all about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It's like war, famine, pestilence, and, and, uh, I'm trying to think of a war, famine, pestilence. Anyway. The other one. Yeah. And then Wu Bath, The Choirs of the Fallen, I would listen to that. And then just 03:08:03.660 --> 03:08:31.220 Now, for the first time ever in my household, we have the first four album, the first, the first four Metallica albums on vinyl. And today we finally got Metallica Kill Them All. And the last thing I will mention is the Temple of Void. We got the promo for Temple of Void last night or two nights ago. Yeah. The new album's called The World It Was. 03:08:33.060 --> 03:09:02.980 I just started tonight listening to it exclusively on headphones right before we went on this podcast and it sounds fucking awesome what about the clean vocals on that one track I have to admit that I was hoping when you fuck faces kill my boner and start talking about clean vocals I was like well so on the last album 03:09:03.020 --> 03:09:32.980 The Lords of Death album, I think it's on the second, the last, the last song. The second last, I think, yeah. Yeah, the second last song. They had some cleaner vocals on there, but it was not clean. Yeah, it was cleaner. It wasn't super clean. It was cleaner vocals. And it was one time on the entire album, and it was timed correctly, in my opinion, and the vocals 03:09:33.080 --> 03:10:01.420 The clean vocal style was timed correctly, in my opinion. I've heard the clean vocals on this new album, and it's more emo than I would appreciate or like. So you hate them. I'm not getting emo. I'm not screaming or screeching. Come on, man. Trevor's listening. He wants to know what you got to say. 03:10:04.220 --> 03:10:32.080 Trevor's clean vocals are. I love Trevor. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Whose turn is it? George, it's your turn. Go. No, man. It's still you. I'm done. Oh, all right. So you liked the clean vocals on the Temple of White album. That's what you're saying. Okay. I did not say that. Okay. Moving on. He liked them. 03:10:34.819 --> 03:10:36.040 He did not say that. 03:10:37.930 --> 03:10:38.680 Well, he liked them. 03:10:39.140 --> 03:10:39.800 He did. 03:10:41.080 --> 03:10:42.660 He did not not like them. 03:10:42.660 --> 03:10:44.080 He just doesn't want to admit it. 03:10:46.140 --> 03:10:48.220 That is the best song on the album as far as I'm concerned. 03:10:48.670 --> 03:10:48.780 So. 03:10:50.740 --> 03:10:51.040 All right. 03:10:51.700 --> 03:10:53.180 What am I listening to? 03:10:55.400 --> 03:10:55.820 First one. 03:10:55.820 --> 03:10:55.980 All right. 03:10:56.070 --> 03:10:58.600 So join us next time on the Metalheads Podcast. 03:10:59.030 --> 03:11:00.820 We're going to be episode 100. 03:11:03.940 --> 03:11:30.840 So first one, I can't believe nobody has said this one. My first one is Anti-Pope, Apostle of Infinite Joy. This is the fifth album from a Finnish prog black band, and it is fucking phenomenal. It was almost my album of the month, but not quite. I like that one a lot, George. It's very good. Next up is a band called 03:11:31.780 --> 03:11:32.800 You may have heard of them. 03:11:33.660 --> 03:11:36.520 And their debut album, 03:11:36.820 --> 03:11:40.480 Mold by a magical bear with scalding hot liquid spraying. 03:11:41.420 --> 03:11:41.900 Wait, sorry. 03:11:42.060 --> 03:11:46.040 Scalding hot liquid cheese spraying from its eye sockets. 03:11:47.120 --> 03:11:48.060 That sounds familiar. 03:11:48.260 --> 03:11:49.220 Did we make that earlier? 03:11:50.260 --> 03:11:51.340 It's just not even out yet. 03:11:51.680 --> 03:11:52.660 It's not out yet. 03:11:52.960 --> 03:11:53.680 I got the promo. 03:11:54.100 --> 03:11:55.080 But it is fucking awesome. 03:11:55.080 --> 03:11:55.660 You got the promo? 03:11:56.140 --> 03:11:56.720 I got the promo. 03:11:57.359 --> 03:11:59.180 Have you shared that promo with us? 03:11:59.220 --> 03:11:59.700 I have not. 03:12:00.120 --> 03:12:29.840 I was not told that I could share it, but I pre-ordered the album and I have the promo advance and it is fucking awesome. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you have a promo of a band that has something about a bear shooting laser string cheese out of his eyes. No, liquid. Liquid. Come on, listen. Hot, flaming cheese. Which won't fight it. That's string cheese. So you have the promo for this, George, and you're not sharing it? 03:12:29.900 --> 03:12:59.820 because you're told not to share it? I was told not to share this album, and so I have not. That is how I roll, dude. Is this particular artist expecting to sell? At least four copies. He's going to sell four copies for it, for sure. Six copies of this. He's trying to get us to. Are they worried about the extra, like, $2 that they were going to lose if we got their promo? I didn't ask if I could share it with the rest of the group, okay? 03:13:01.859 --> 03:13:28.520 You know what I could have done with Temple of Void? I could have said, you know what? Fuck you guys. I didn't even say that to you. I just did it because I love you. You do not love us. I was specifically asked not to share this, so I didn't. Is this particular artist embarrassed by the quality of this guy? I don't know, man. Fuck him. Is this like crap? 03:13:29.880 --> 03:13:59.580 I'd be serious. Seriously, fuck that guy, right, Butch? Shooting liquid drink cheese out of his eyes. I mean, can we even take this even seriously? Is this going to be... No! No, it's bears and liquid cheese. That guy isn't fucking off his rocker, man. Just wait your fucking turn, all right? He doesn't lift weights, and he's not hardcore. Just wait your fucking turn. You'll hear it. God. If the listeners could only see what works on our screens right now. I don't want to hear it now. I don't want to hear anything. 03:13:59.640 --> 03:14:29.500 It's fucking grindcore. You don't even like it anyway. So. I like cheese. I enjoy cheese. I like cheese. I mean, you know, and I like this album. It's fucking great. So. That's great. Only you know about it. I do. Just finish your list for all the other albums we've never heard yet. I'm fucking special. Deal with it. Special. Somebody call Matt's wife and see if he's still alive. 03:14:31.620 --> 03:14:59.060 I'm not dead yet. You know my face hurts from smiling too much. All right. Well you need to go weight lift and frown. All right. Next up. Not even close to being done yet. Third album on my list. And there's no spaces in this album. Or the band name. It's called Drop the Hammer but no spaces. Drop the Hammer. 03:14:59.640 --> 03:15:29.580 The album is called Ultima Ballum. They're a Croatian death grind band. It's their second album. Kind of cool. Next up Echoes of Decay. Dive into Darkness. They're a Greek death doom band. It's their first album. Friendship. Not a super metal sounding band. But they're a Japanese hardcore power violence band. 03:15:29.640 --> 03:15:59.580 The album is called Undercurrent. It's their, I think, second album. Kind of can't tell. Next up, one that Matt has mentioned, Horesque. Chasms Part 1, Avarice and Retribution. They're a German black death band. I dug it. Thank you, Matt. This next one, I don't know how I came across this. It was on Bandcamp. It's a band called Hide. H-Y-D-E. 03:15:59.620 --> 03:16:29.600 Self-titled first album. It's a French stoner hard rock band. It's not stoner like you would think. It's not like, whoa. It's more, it's a tighter kind of Sabbath-y kind of album, and I really dig it a lot. So check that out on Bandcamp. You like it a lot. I like it a lot. Next up, Needful Things, which is a Steve 03:16:32.460 --> 03:16:59.600 The album is called Deceptions. Their third album is a Czech grindcore band. More grindcore, a band called Poor, P-O-O-R, which is Point of Our Resistance. The album is called Glutton for Punishment. It's their second album. They are a California grindcore band. Next, we have Psychotomy and their album Aephotic, which is also 03:16:59.640 --> 03:17:29.460 a November's Doom album. It's their second album. They're an Italian death metal band. Roadside Burial. Such is Life. I think this is their first album. They're an Australian grindcore band. Kind of cool. Of course, the Temple of Void album, The World That Was, their third album. We've talked about that. Two more. Warmaster. This is old. This is fucking old. And I even knew this band, 03:17:29.640 --> 03:17:58.580 I just recently picked it up. Pyramid of the Necropolis is their first album and then they have an EP called Blood Dawn. They're a Houston death metal band and I dig it. And finally, Xeno Ooze. This is a slug-ish kind of band because their album is called Paraslime Shift. It's their first album. They're a Phoenix Grindcore band. Check it out. 03:17:59.640 --> 03:18:24.880 All right. There we are. I see Butch's fingers. That's it. What's up, Butch? Matt is like shrinking on my screen. He just keeps getting lower and lower. Matt's about to pass out. I'm feeding fast. Butch clearly didn't work out enough. There's not enough endorphins in his system. 03:18:29.640 --> 03:18:59.220 I'm John Strong. I'm clearly a little new. I do like how I just look like a floating head. And of course, I mean, it's only 730 for me. So. Seriously? Wow. Show me what you got. What's great about this is, Marcus, we're all hammered, but we can get right to bed. You're hammered and you got to stay up for several more hours. Right? Well, that's, I mean, drink for several more hours. Yeah. Show me what you got. That's awesome. Yep. 03:18:59.640 --> 03:19:28.180 Enjoy the dreams, my friends. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. So here we are. I guess we're at the end. Hopefully. It's a weird place to be. At the end. Honestly, yeah. It's bizarre. This is the end. My beautiful friend. It's weird. It's been a bizarre journey. And here we are. 03:19:29.640 --> 03:19:59.280 Do you feel like you've done this before? I do in a strange way, but in a different way. You don't make enough money for psychological counseling, but we will offer George to sit down on a couch with you and make your brain scarred. Well, I mean, thank you so much, Butch, for your insights on weightlifting, fighting, and just general aggression in life. 03:19:59.620 --> 03:20:29.280 We really appreciate it. Keep on fighting. Keep on fucking shut up. Don't ever stop fighting. Don't ever stop fucking shut up. Don't ever take no shit from anybody. That's pretty much what I'm trying to say. Fuck you. I won't do what you tell me. Fuck that fucking shit. Fuck that fucking shit. Raise your machine and get suck a dick. Oh, come on. 03:20:29.640 --> 03:20:58.840 What, $500 a ticket? Come on.
