00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.259
Welcome one and all to episode 425 of Signals

00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:10.939
From Ours. I'm your host Victor and for this

00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:14.339
episode we welcome back Jeremy Weltman at Ferguson.

00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.199
We're talking September 2025 new releases, new

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.600
music, new things to help you lighten the load

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.839
of your pocket and hopefully turn you on to some

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:59.299
great new music. I'm ready. Quick reminder that

00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:02.020
in addition to hosting Signals from Mars, I've

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:05.019
also worked behind the scenes helping other podcasters.

00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.299
With over 16 years of experience and more than

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:11.159
1200 episodes that I've produced or appeared

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.079
on, I offer podcasting, editing, ghost hosting

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.459
interviews, and repurposing content into viral

00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:22.019
clips, show notes, transcripts, and social media

00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:25.040
posts. If you've got a podcast and need help

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.620
making it sound professional, or if you want

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:30.939

Johan in Sweden, Ed who appears on this episode.

00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.680
Jeremy appears on this episode as well. I've

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.759
already said that. Anthony Mackey, great, great

00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.680
graphic designer. who helped put everything together

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.379
graphics -wise for the Everything episode 300

00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:21.259
onward. Wow. It's been 125 episodes since we

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:27.460
rebranded. Tony Espin and Sean Richman in the

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:31.060
UK. Also want to thank the returning Mark Striegel,

00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:35.259
who is now a patron once again. Not sure how

00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:38.379
often he listens to this or listens to the actual...

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.520
a Patreon podcast, but his support is appreciated

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.599
nonetheless, as is yours. If you want to become

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.599
a patron, you can do so for as little as two

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.939
bucks a month. If you want to just reshare, like

00:03:51.939 --> 00:03:55.479
turn people on to the shorts that I've been posting,

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.860
all of that is extremely, I appreciate it extremely.

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.439
That's what I'm trying to say. So I do want to

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.979
thank you. And like I said before, we do these

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:10.139
episodes to talk about music, talk about things

00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:13.020
that are exciting us, to turn other people on

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:15.419
to stuff that maybe they don't have the time

00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:18.879
to check out. Maybe they have no interest in

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.860
sitting through a bunch of new music. And as

00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:26.339
we discuss certain albums in the different way

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.879
that we describe them, so on and so forth, maybe

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.300
it interests you enough to check them out. So

00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:36.019
if you do, we've done our job. In any event,

00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:40.500
go to signalsfromars .com for anything related

00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:45.060

to see where you can check out the YouTube version

00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:51.399

there, signalsfromars .com. Thank you once again

00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:23.079
for listening. Let's get on with the show. Welcome,

00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:25.899
everyone, to the latest edition of Signals from

00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:29.060
Mars. I'm your host, Victor. And joining me today

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:34.800
are Jeremy Weltman in the UK and Ed in Kentucky.

00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.019
How are you guys tonight? Yeah, good. Thanks.

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:42.220
Really good. Doing good. Excellent. Happy to

00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.500
see you. Happy to see you guys as well. Before

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:49.899
we jump into the episode, I do need to make an

00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:57.639
announcement. The next Patreon special will be

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.240
October 24th. And what I'm going to ask people

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.420
to vote on is the 10 bands that they associate

00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:16.220
most with Halloween. Fun. Now, this can be because

00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:19.259
their imagery maybe. you think is associated

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:23.579
to Halloween. Maybe they spooked you as a kid.

00:06:24.139 --> 00:06:29.500
Maybe the lyrics of a song, whatever you feel

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:33.459
are the 10 bands that most relate Halloween to

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:38.139
you are the bands we're going to discuss. So

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:43.920
I want people to vote, send their, their 10 bands

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.790
in. And as usual, if you can't send 10 in and

00:06:47.790 --> 00:06:49.949
you've only got five that you can think of, three

00:06:49.949 --> 00:06:52.009
that you can think of, one that you can think

00:06:52.009 --> 00:06:54.529
of, whatever you send me is what I'm going to

00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:59.230
work with. And how these polls work is whatever

00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:01.490
your number one is gets 10 points. Whatever your

00:07:01.490 --> 00:07:03.689
number two is gets nine points all the way down

00:07:03.689 --> 00:07:08.750
to 10, which gets one. And this is a different

00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:11.829
topic than what we usually talk about. And given

00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:16.610
that Halloween was coming up. I thought it would

00:07:16.610 --> 00:07:20.110
be something cool. And I'm not going to take

00:07:20.110 --> 00:07:22.290
responsibility for coming up with this because

00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:24.949
this was pitched to me by Brad Dahl. Brad Dahl

00:07:24.949 --> 00:07:29.730
had quite a few different Halloween related different

00:07:29.730 --> 00:07:34.750
show themes. And this was, this is, I think is

00:07:34.750 --> 00:07:36.970
the easiest one to pull off. He talked about

00:07:36.970 --> 00:07:41.170
having us put together like a master Halloween

00:07:41.170 --> 00:07:44.810
playlist or Something like that. Or, you know,

00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:48.610
the 10 spookiest songs for Halloween. So maybe

00:07:48.610 --> 00:07:51.410
that's something we could do in the future. But

00:07:51.410 --> 00:07:53.870
I think we'll start out with this and it should

00:07:53.870 --> 00:07:59.870
be fun to discuss, no doubt. But tonight we're

00:07:59.870 --> 00:08:03.649
going to talk about September 2025 releases.

00:08:05.209 --> 00:08:07.870
We hope that you enjoy these episodes. We're

00:08:07.870 --> 00:08:12.050
trying to help people with finding new music.

00:08:13.419 --> 00:08:17.240
And, you know, I always feel and I think that's

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.079
kind of the consensus here is that there's always

00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.300
good music coming out. You just have to find

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:27.500
it. And we're giving you guys a nudge as to what,

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:32.139
you know, we feel works for us. And, you know,

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.980
hopefully ends up on your year end list when

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:42.399
we do that big show in December. So anyway. Without

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.120
further ado, we kick things off on September

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:53.759
5th with new albums from Fury, Bless the Fall,

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.960
Condition Critical, Cult Burial, Dreams of Grey,

00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:03.440
Glenn Hughes, Nailed to Obscurity, Primal Fear,

00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:10.039
The Rods, FM, Dark Angel, Via Nova, Speed Queen.

00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:16.870
Jesus, I can't talk. Speed Queen, Fawn, Ambush,

00:09:16.929 --> 00:09:24.450
Bentsy, EPs from Elaine and Revenoir, I guess

00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:27.970
is how you pronounce it. Reissues from Night

00:09:27.970 --> 00:09:33.870
Demon and Slipknot. A lot of, I guess you can

00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:38.450
consider heavy hitters for that first week, depending

00:09:38.450 --> 00:09:42.200
on what you like. Ed, what did you listen to

00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:49.919
that jumped out at you? So one band that I found

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:57.240
interesting, not one that I like a lot, but I

00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.879
got to bring it up. They were unusual. Cult Burial.

00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:04.919
They have an album called Collapse of Pattern,

00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.740
Reverence of Dust. And they're kind of a death

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:13.840
band. slash black slash doom metal band okay

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.580
they they have a lot of atmospheric sounds you

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.620
know stuff that kind of gets a little bit old

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:27.480
to me but this whoever these guys are are very

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.820
interesting when you read their lyrics okay um

00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:36.820
this guy is like extremely poetic and verbose

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:41.340
he would be He would be, I've got to read you

00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:45.279
just one, the start of one of their tracks. He

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.960
goes, in this quietude, a faint exhale comes

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.840
through. Utopian sweet abyss, thy arms I eagerly

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.220
come to know. Let me drift to neither bliss nor

00:10:56.220 --> 00:11:00.159
pain. Despondency's feather born on dusk waning

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.240
gasp. And every single paragraph and every single

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.700
song is like that. Oh, wow. He would be an interesting

00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.419
dude just to interview if you ever got the chance,

00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:13.580
even if you don't like their music. I'd kind

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:15.559
of like to see what's going on in this guy's

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.980
mind. And it would be amazing to see him do a

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:23.019
live show and remember all of this poetry that

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:27.279
he's growling in his death metal. It's interesting.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.500
So for those who like, you know, death, black

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:36.299
doom metal bands, check that out. I know I'm

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.500
not here to give recommendations on heavy metal

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:42.139
bands, but I have been enjoying the heck out

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:45.720
of that Speed Queen. Okay. Any one of you choose

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.879
that record? I got a chance to listen to it,

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.080
actually. Man, when I listen to that record,

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.940
it takes me back to being like in those days

00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:02.379
right before kind of those speed metal days,

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:07.220
right before thrash metal took off. Let me get

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:12.240
my notes on this open. And you're welcome to

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.899
talk about any of the releases. That sounds good.

00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:20.240
It's like classic heavy metal, like everything

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.759
I was listening to before I discovered thrash

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.100
metal. But it also has a lot of early thrash

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:30.779
metal sounds. Like the production is kind of

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:36.639
like Show No Mercy, Fistful of Metal. So it's

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.019
got that kind of production. But the vocals remind

00:12:41.019 --> 00:12:44.799
you of vocalists like Ron Keel. It's almost like

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.820
if Ron Keel had a speed metal band, this is what

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:51.679
it would sound like. And this would be another

00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.600
band that I think would be super interesting

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.860
to interview if you ever got the chance to ask

00:12:56.860 --> 00:13:00.490
them how. Because I swear, when you listen to

00:13:00.490 --> 00:13:02.389
this record, you feel like you just walked in,

00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:06.950
or it sounds like they somehow walked into a

00:13:06.950 --> 00:13:11.190
studio from 83 to 85 and recorded that album.

00:13:11.690 --> 00:13:14.950
And I would love to know how they captured that

00:13:14.950 --> 00:13:18.789
sound so perfectly. Right. And you hear riff

00:13:18.789 --> 00:13:21.769
after riff that sounds like that good old stuff

00:13:21.769 --> 00:13:24.830
that you were listening to back then, but it's

00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:30.860
still fresh and sounds new. So everyone in the

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:33.879
Signals from Mars group, I think, should listen

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.919
to that. But my pick for the week, you know,

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:40.860
I told you I was a little bummed for the first

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:45.340
part of the year on metal releases for me. But

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:47.139
last month, you know, there was a couple of good

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:52.480
ones with Insight and Castrator. This month has

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.539
gotten even better. This record from Condition

00:13:55.539 --> 00:14:00.519
Critical. is uh amazing did you happen to pick

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.419
that one uh jeremy i know sometimes you'll pick

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:07.899
a good yeah yeah no i'm interested to hear so

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:10.000
this is a thrash metal band that everyone in

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.379
the patron group would like um to me it's the

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:16.399
thrash metal album of the year so far it'll probably

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.000
be my number one but you know if you're fans

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.059
of all the stuff that we used to like if you're

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:25.889
fans of anthrax metallica exodus This band also

00:14:25.889 --> 00:14:28.250
reminds me a lot of Indestructible Noise Command.

00:14:28.629 --> 00:14:32.269
Okay. The vocals are similar to Billy Milano,

00:14:32.470 --> 00:14:36.970
especially his MOD vocals. Right. Sometimes you'll

00:14:36.970 --> 00:14:39.549
hear a little bit of that Nuclear Assault vocal

00:14:39.549 --> 00:14:45.710
in there, too. So it's got all that classic sound

00:14:45.710 --> 00:14:49.549
that we used to love in those early thrash metal

00:14:49.549 --> 00:14:52.470
bands. The songwriting's great. It's got that...

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:55.240
you know, dynamic songwriting like we like from

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.679
Megadeth and Metallica and Anthrax with the riffs

00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.759
that, you know, they kind of assault you with

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.820
the speed and then they'll slow you down and

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:06.080
take you on a, you know, headbanging journey

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.120
through your living room mosh pit. And, and they're,

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.440
and they'll, they're good at like those big thrash

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.580
bands are so good at, they're good at, you know,

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.000
taking those mosh parts and building tension

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.120
to build up into. Other jams, you know, some

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.240
kind of assault of electric jam to end the song

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.940
with. Right. The drummer in this band, I'd be

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:33.059
interested to hear you listen to and talk about

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:35.720
some time. He's a lot of fun to listen to. He

00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.179
adds a lot of character and quality to the songs,

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:40.860
kind of like Dave Lombardo does or Charlie Benanti.

00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:47.500
Okay. He's so interesting that without him, the

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:51.820
songs would be noticeably not as good. Okay.

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.259
But yeah, this record is, it's like a five -star

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:59.220
thrash metal record. Plenty of mosh pit moments.

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.759
All 10 songs are great. And I'm going to have

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.379
to give a couple of songs to Brad to put on yard

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:09.659
metal. And with the vocals not being too growly,

00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:13.019
everybody will like it, especially Metal Dan

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:17.419
will like this record. So I went on for a while

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:19.919
there. I'll stop now. That's fine. That's incredible.

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.159
And everybody in the group needs to listen to

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.200
that. Cool. Jeremy, how about you? What did you

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.799
listen to? Yeah, this was a really packed week.

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.379
I mean, Ed's just mentioned a couple that I didn't

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:33.299
even touch on. And I'm going to be up late tonight

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:36.179
listening to them because that's great. I mean,

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.100
I listened to Primal Fear. I listened to Glenn

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:40.539
Hughes. And I'm not even going to touch on those.

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.220
I know you listened to Primal Fear. Victor, so

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:47.639
you can comment on that in a sec. I started on

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.980
Wild Dogs Unchained by The Rods. As you know,

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.700
I'm quite a fan of The Rods. They remind me a

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:57.399
little bit of Anvil. This album has been released

00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.000
within, I think, within 12 months of the previous

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.100
one, really. It's all the same sort of hardcore

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:06.720
pub rock metal sort of stuff. It's all basic

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.599
stuff. It's all blue collar metal. But I like

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.960
it. I like it because they're a very genuine

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.980
band. You know, there's always some good riffs

00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:22.180
on there. So, yeah, that was a pretty good start

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:24.839
for the month for me. I moved on to Brotherhood

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.940
from FM, which I guess you guys won't be into.

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:29.960
But as you know, you know, they're sort of British

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.480
soft rockers. I like them. They're a bit of a

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.480
comfort blanket. They've released a lot of quality

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.400
albums since they reformed around 2008, 2009.

00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:47.180
And they produce quality stuff. They know melody.

00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:51.259
And I sometimes think, I know Ed comes from a

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:53.579
different sort of aspect of this to me sometimes,

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:57.500
but I like a lot of melody and I like a proper

00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:01.720
song. And they do it well. And it's not for everyone.

00:18:02.589 --> 00:18:04.930
It might be for the Bon Jovi fans out there,

00:18:04.970 --> 00:18:07.049
but it's not for, you know, your death metal

00:18:07.049 --> 00:18:10.589
fans. But there you go. So then I moved on to

00:18:10.589 --> 00:18:14.269
my pick of the week, which I guess one or two

00:18:14.269 --> 00:18:16.690
of our fellow Patreon members are going to be

00:18:16.690 --> 00:18:18.990
happy about because I picked Interceptor by Fury,

00:18:19.289 --> 00:18:24.109
which is now is a bit of a favorite of all of

00:18:24.109 --> 00:18:26.950
us, really. And you've interviewed them before.

00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:30.579
you know i like this band i would say they're

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:32.880
not my favorite band but you know i think they're

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.839
very very good and i'd like to see them live

00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.279
um that's that sort of new wave of british sort

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:43.400
of classic rock um i thought this one you know

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.880
it sort of had probably it had a lot of energy

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.299
to it but i thought it had a lot of um you know

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:52.480
sort of um variation on it as well so i think

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.640
that you know they they've matured a little bit

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.259
should i say um so i think they're releasing

00:18:57.259 --> 00:19:00.960
some good stuff um i'm not raving about it uh

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.640
but i think it's a it's worthy of my pick of

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.519
the week and uh it's a very enjoyable album and

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:11.200
i'd like to return to it okay so i got a chance

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.700
to listen to uh some of the stuff that you guys

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.180
you guys mentioned i got to listen to the speed

00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:23.769
queen Um, I got to listen to, uh, bless the fall

00:19:23.769 --> 00:19:27.170
with gallows. It's their first album since, um,

00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:32.589
2018. Um, this is going to be a common theme

00:19:32.589 --> 00:19:35.430
and I've been talking about this on Patreon the

00:19:35.430 --> 00:19:39.970
last few weeks, uh, bands that started out being

00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:45.849
death core or metal core or even death metal.

00:19:46.349 --> 00:19:50.759
Um, Coming out with real radio -friendly albums

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.279
now all of a sudden. Yeah, I can't stand it.

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.839
We need to do an episode just so I can bitch

00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:06.519
about that. But it's weird to me because, and

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.740
I'll get into this more with another album that

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:12.380
I listen to, but it's weird to me that this is

00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:19.950
so blatant. radio production and radio hooks

00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:21.789
and there are certain things where it's like

00:20:21.789 --> 00:20:25.349
there's already a million bands doing this you

00:20:25.349 --> 00:20:30.109
know and it makes you feel like when these bands

00:20:30.109 --> 00:20:33.769
first came out 10 15 20 years ago they were just

00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:39.109
jumping on a on a wave on something that was

00:20:39.109 --> 00:20:42.069
trendy at the time and they're now doing the

00:20:42.069 --> 00:20:44.970
same thing to try to stay afloat all these years

00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:51.269
later So it's just kind of weird. Primal Fear.

00:20:52.930 --> 00:20:57.289
This album, I don't want to say it's a complete

00:20:57.289 --> 00:21:02.529
disappointment, but it's just paint by numbers

00:21:02.529 --> 00:21:06.289
like power metal. And I felt like they reached

00:21:06.289 --> 00:21:12.170
their groove like two albums ago, three albums

00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:16.720
ago where. They had gotten heavier, like they

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.460
had added aspects to their music where they were

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:22.900
sounding, you know, more like Black Label Society

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.680
in certain parts where there was like a lot of

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.440
heavy chugging mixed in with anthemic stuff,

00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:31.480
which is what they're known for. But now it's

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.980
like back to just paint by numbers power metal.

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:38.059
There's like two songs that I really like off

00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:40.140
of the album and the rest is like, okay, there's

00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:45.250
like. Double bass here for no reason. There's...

00:21:45.250 --> 00:21:55.529
Okay, that sounds like... As Anthony Mackie would

00:21:55.529 --> 00:22:01.730
say, that sounds like Eurovision metal. You know,

00:22:01.769 --> 00:22:04.829
I don't know. It sucks. Again, I get it. They're

00:22:04.829 --> 00:22:11.440
trying to make money. I'm going to have to go

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:16.900
with Glenn Hughes and Chosen. It's supposedly

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:22.539
his last rock album, he said. It's not as good

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:27.440
as his previous two solo albums, which I think

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.440
were heavier, funkier at times. This, I don't

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:37.240
have the liner notes. It's his first release

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.630
on Frontiers, I think. And I don't know if they

00:22:41.630 --> 00:22:44.150
had a hand in writing some of the music because

00:22:44.150 --> 00:22:49.390
sometimes they do that sort of thing. And maybe

00:22:49.390 --> 00:22:54.269
that's why the album is a little more melodic

00:22:54.269 --> 00:22:59.769
than the last few. But anyway, that's the one

00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:05.349
that kind of stood out to me the most. September

00:23:05.349 --> 00:23:09.480
12th, we had new albums from... Lorna Shore,

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:16.500
Arjun Anthony, Lucasen, Between the Buried and

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:21.500
Me, Never Tell, The Rasmus, Hellstar, The Switch,

00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.640
Spite House, Restraining Order, Sweet Savage.

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:29.500
Sweet Savage, who is best known for being Vivian

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:35.059
Campbell's first band. Star Set, Hyperstrike,

00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:42.299
Crippling Alcoholism, See a Saren, Year of the

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:47.059
Goat, Demon Hunter, Silverstein, and Crucible.

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:51.359
EPs from Colorblind and Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.140
released a live EP, which I haven't checked out

00:23:54.140 --> 00:24:02.640
yet. Never heard of them. Reissues from Asheron,

00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.420
Behemoth, Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti. 50th

00:24:07.420 --> 00:24:11.900
anniversary edition suite, a live album from

00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:17.779
Fargo, and Motley Crue released yet another compilation

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:20.440
from the beginning, the definitive collection

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:26.420
of Motley Crue hits. So for everyone who still

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:29.680
shits on Kiss for putting out so many greatest

00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:34.900
hits album, I think Motley Crue's got quite a

00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:39.730
few as well. So Motley Crue may be up to the

00:24:39.730 --> 00:24:44.789
same level, to be honest, at this point, because,

00:24:44.789 --> 00:24:46.650
I mean, they're good for putting out greatest

00:24:46.650 --> 00:24:52.170
hits like every four or five years. So anyway,

00:24:53.150 --> 00:24:57.109
Jeremy, what did you listen to this week? Yeah,

00:24:57.130 --> 00:24:59.269
so I started off with The Devil's Masquerade

00:24:59.269 --> 00:25:02.970
by Hellstar, a Texas band back with their first

00:25:02.970 --> 00:25:07.099
music in nine years, I believe. This one was

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:11.099
okay. It was okay as a starter. You know, there's

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:13.079
a lot of familiar elements in there with the

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.740
sort of riffs and the themes. It didn't grab

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:19.059
me that much, really. I wasn't that won over

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:22.079
by the vocal. It was kind of okay. Songs were

00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:24.900
left a little bit wanting as well overall. So,

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:27.000
you know, I was hoping for something a little

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.319
bit better and I moved on for two really good.

00:25:29.630 --> 00:25:33.730
albums uh songs no one will hear by aryan anthony

00:25:33.730 --> 00:25:37.250
lucasen which you mentioned just before uh he's

00:25:37.250 --> 00:25:41.970
the arion founder dutch prog musician um i've

00:25:41.970 --> 00:25:44.569
not really heard much of his stuff before it's

00:25:44.569 --> 00:25:48.150
a concept collection of eight songs um it's all

00:25:48.150 --> 00:25:50.190
about having sort of five months left before

00:25:50.190 --> 00:25:53.089
an asteroid impact hits the earth and sort of

00:25:53.089 --> 00:25:56.190
what you do in the event of that not all of the

00:25:56.190 --> 00:25:58.349
songs were brilliance on it but the ones that

00:25:58.349 --> 00:26:01.480
were were Absolutely superb. I really liked it.

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.240
There was a slower track on there featuring Floor

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.440
Jansen of Nightwish. The final song, it's called

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:13.200
The Final Song, really good 14 -minute epic at

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:16.319
the end. So, you know, I'm not massive into prog,

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.680
but when I like prog and, you know, you get something

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.039
that's really good to listen to, really thought

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.019
this was an interesting album, really enjoyed

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:25.750
it, just as something a bit different. But my

00:26:25.750 --> 00:26:28.190
pick of the week, Ed is going to prick his ears

00:26:28.190 --> 00:26:31.230
up here because this is something I think he

00:26:31.230 --> 00:26:34.829
was sort of almost intimating just a minute ago

00:26:34.829 --> 00:26:38.250
because this is a debut by a Danish speed metal

00:26:38.250 --> 00:26:41.990
merchants. It's Hail to the Force by Crucible.

00:26:43.029 --> 00:26:45.750
It really reminds me of why he got into metal

00:26:45.750 --> 00:26:49.009
in the first place. It's very amateurish. Well,

00:26:49.069 --> 00:26:51.509
I say almost amateurish because I don't want

00:26:51.509 --> 00:26:55.539
to be. too cutting it's a bit naive uh but there's

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:57.839
a real sort of ferocious intensity on the album

00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.079
keeps you really involved in it you know that

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.779
sort of one that sort of draws you in reminds

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:04.700
you why you really liked it in the first place

00:27:04.700 --> 00:27:07.420
real crushing riffs on there a little bit of

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:10.140
subpar sort of production quality on there but

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:14.559
that's okay um you know uh these are genuine

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.180
guys real rawness um even if there's you know

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:21.150
the vocals only sort of just about adequate uh

00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:23.410
so you know the sort of guys you'd want to chat

00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:25.349
at the bar with you know they're sort of guys

00:27:25.349 --> 00:27:30.509
that would um engage with their audience uh and

00:27:30.509 --> 00:27:32.490
you know for every sort of over polished band

00:27:32.490 --> 00:27:34.650
that's out there we've got these kind of guys

00:27:34.650 --> 00:27:37.190
doing this kind of stuff and this i think this

00:27:37.190 --> 00:27:39.750
is why we do this program this is why we do this

00:27:39.750 --> 00:27:43.890
live um live thing as well because you know we

00:27:43.890 --> 00:27:46.269
talk about all the big bands but we need to talk

00:27:46.269 --> 00:27:49.269
about the small bands uh They won't get known

00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:52.529
anywhere else. So Hail to the Force, Crucible,

00:27:52.710 --> 00:27:56.150
Pick of the Week. I can't remember if I listened

00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:59.789
to that or not, but you have me interested. What

00:27:59.789 --> 00:28:02.589
are the vocals like? Are they more like classic

00:28:02.589 --> 00:28:10.049
heavy metal vocals? Yeah, kind of. I would suggest

00:28:10.049 --> 00:28:12.730
you've got to look through the vocal a little

00:28:12.730 --> 00:28:15.009
bit because you need to listen to the music.

00:28:15.049 --> 00:28:18.869
It's the music that's kicking through. And sometimes

00:28:18.869 --> 00:28:20.849
that's the case with these sort of bands, you

00:28:20.849 --> 00:28:23.950
know, parts of it are not knitting together quite

00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:27.589
right, but it's, you know. Like it's a character

00:28:27.589 --> 00:28:29.609
though. Yeah. It's the character, the energy,

00:28:29.690 --> 00:28:34.450
the enthusiasm, that sort of thing. Yeah. Cool.

00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:40.789
Ed, what did you listen to this week? I got ticked

00:28:40.789 --> 00:28:43.109
off listening to Between the Buried and Me doing

00:28:43.109 --> 00:28:45.869
exactly what you talked about, you know, in the

00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:50.819
last week. and remove that one immediately from

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:53.799
my library. The only thing that I kind of liked

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:59.160
was the Hellstar, but that was it. And Jeremy

00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.680
pretty much summed it up. It's okay. You know,

00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.519
it's just kind of, it's just, it's thrash metal

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:09.460
with kind of the more, the vocals kind of remind

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:11.500
me of Metal Church, except they're a little bit

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:16.500
more operatic or whatever. I think I would like

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:19.640
Hellstar better if he had a little more of a

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.079
hardcore voice. That's what is kind of missing

00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.559
for me. But yeah, there wasn't anything else

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:31.819
that I picked that week. Okay. Would you say

00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:33.940
that Hellstar is your pick of the week then?

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.039
Yeah, that would have to be the only pick I had.

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:41.000
The only thing I liked. Okay. Cool. So that's

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.329
actually one that I need to check out. Um, I

00:29:43.329 --> 00:29:45.049
didn't get a chance to get around to listening

00:29:45.049 --> 00:29:48.769
to that. So I got to listen to between the buried

00:29:48.769 --> 00:29:52.990
in me, the blue nowhere. Oh my goodness. There's

00:29:52.990 --> 00:29:57.849
a lot going on there. I mean, there are parts

00:29:57.849 --> 00:30:00.450
of songs that sound like King Crimson. There

00:30:00.450 --> 00:30:03.289
are parts of songs that sound like Van Halen.

00:30:03.470 --> 00:30:08.750
There are parts of songs that sound like it's

00:30:08.750 --> 00:30:11.230
got growly vocals. It's got clean vocals. It's

00:30:11.230 --> 00:30:17.930
got It's all over the place. It seems to me,

00:30:17.970 --> 00:30:25.829
I mean, yes, there's definitely a proactive feel

00:30:25.829 --> 00:30:29.289
to this. It feels to me like they locked themselves

00:30:29.289 --> 00:30:32.309
in a room and listened to a lot of Faith No More

00:30:32.309 --> 00:30:37.390
and Mr. Bungle and then also decided at the same

00:30:37.390 --> 00:30:40.970
time, similar to what I said before, Uh, we need

00:30:40.970 --> 00:30:44.630
to move some units. So let's add some catchiness

00:30:44.630 --> 00:30:51.670
to this and, um, and see where it goes. I, um,

00:30:51.789 --> 00:30:56.269
I don't know because I can't consider myself

00:30:56.269 --> 00:30:58.549
a huge fan of the band, but I do like stuff that

00:30:58.549 --> 00:31:00.970
they've released in the past. This is just very

00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:05.470
left field -ish in general. Uh, let's see. I

00:31:05.470 --> 00:31:11.789
listened to What else? Silverstein, Pink Moon.

00:31:12.430 --> 00:31:15.230
And Silverstein is a band that I've heard about

00:31:15.230 --> 00:31:18.650
a lot. I've never checked them out before. And

00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:20.829
I figured, well, why not? Let me give it a shot.

00:31:21.289 --> 00:31:25.710
And I know they're very famous. I know they're

00:31:25.710 --> 00:31:28.789
on the radio, but it's just very friendly radio

00:31:28.789 --> 00:31:34.890
rock to me. Kind of generic. And my pick is going

00:31:34.890 --> 00:31:39.059
to have to be Demon Hunter with There was a light

00:31:39.059 --> 00:31:45.460
here. Interesting. Did you listen to that? Yeah,

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.500
and to me, it's just another plain old Demon

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:52.420
Hunter record. You know, I'm a big fan of their

00:31:52.420 --> 00:31:56.240
first three. I love their third record. That

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.240
one I bought on vinyl. But every record after

00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.839
that has just been the same thing over and over

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.549
again to me. So it's kind of become... I think

00:32:05.549 --> 00:32:10.049
for the Demon Hunter fans, I think. Yeah, I think

00:32:10.049 --> 00:32:13.069
it's interesting because they had been releasing

00:32:13.069 --> 00:32:16.230
singles on their own and they hadn't mentioned

00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:18.130
anything about an album. At least I didn't receive

00:32:18.130 --> 00:32:21.130
any information about it. And some of those singles

00:32:21.130 --> 00:32:24.130
were actually pretty cool and they ended up on

00:32:24.130 --> 00:32:30.390
the album. But yes, to me, they've always been

00:32:30.390 --> 00:32:38.859
either great. or mediocre like uh there are certain

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:41.099
songs of theirs that get stuck in my head and

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:44.960
i listen to a lot yeah and those are great but

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:46.900
then there are others where similar to what you're

00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:49.160
saying and similar to what i said before about

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.380
like the primal fear where it's like oh okay

00:32:51.380 --> 00:32:54.839
they're playing to the audience as opposed to

00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.420
kind of working this out more and i was kind

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:59.359
of happy that they were releasing those singles

00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:03.519
because my idea was wow for the first time and

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:07.240
I don't know how many albums they're just putting

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:11.140
out, you know, the grade a good stuff. Yeah.

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:18.940
Um, I guess that wasn't entirely the case. So,

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:24.299
all right. So let's, uh, move on to September

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:28.380
19th. We had new albums from November's doom,

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:35.529
higher power. Big Big Train, Dusted Angel, Paradise

00:33:35.529 --> 00:33:46.809
Lost, I Prevail, Mike Tramp, Castle Rat, Parator,

00:33:47.269 --> 00:33:54.250
Scorpion Milk, Igor, Hunter Oliveri, Dead, Soul

00:33:54.250 --> 00:34:06.120
Keeper, Wolfheart, New World Depression. Krigsgrave,

00:34:06.120 --> 00:34:11.860
Solicitor, Jonathan Wy... Jonathan Wyndham, okay.

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:17.960
Mirador, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Jesus, Didi Verney

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.380
and the Cadillac Band, Elder, EPs from American

00:34:22.380 --> 00:34:27.619
Television and Kitty, and reissues from Bad Wolves,

00:34:27.619 --> 00:34:31.039
Descendants, and A Perfect Circle, and a compilation

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:38.860
from... Camelot. So as far as you're concerned,

00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:41.139
Ed, what did you listen to this week for the

00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:46.460
19th? Yeah, this was kind of a weak week for

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:52.340
me too. Okay. Although I was very pleasantly

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:59.440
surprised with how good the Kitty spit 2025 record.

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:05.260
It's the 25th anniversary, yeah. Yeah. So I've

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:07.019
always kind of considered them a new metal band,

00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.239
although they're also kind of described as groove

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:15.019
metal. And to me, checking them out more in the

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:16.920
last few years, I feel like they've probably

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:20.400
gone more in that groove metal vein, which is

00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.380
probably why I'm liking it more as the albums

00:35:22.380 --> 00:35:26.599
go on. Right. And I think they really nailed

00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.079
it with this little four -song EP they have.

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.300
especially tracks two and three. They're a couple

00:35:33.300 --> 00:35:36.699
of favorites of mine. Right. I don't know if

00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:40.599
they're considered a new metal band. I think

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.599
they do it better than all the guys out there.

00:35:42.699 --> 00:35:47.119
It sounds that good. It makes me like new metal,

00:35:47.179 --> 00:35:51.639
if that's what it's called, a little bit. Great.

00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.860
I meant to tell Steve Hoker, you need to listen

00:35:54.860 --> 00:36:00.719
to this EP. You'll enjoy it. Yeah, I'm sure he's

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.019
checked it out. Yeah, he probably has. He probably

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:07.219
knows all the songs already. Yeah, I was familiar

00:36:07.219 --> 00:36:09.440
with all them. I mean, they're re -records of

00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:15.559
their original EP. But yeah, I got a chance to

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.539
listen to it, and they've heavied a lot of these

00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:23.679
songs up for the 25th anniversary, which is,

00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:27.679
I think, what you kind of need to do when you

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.769
come back. do stuff like that. I think Testament

00:36:30.769 --> 00:36:33.610
did it best when they re -recorded stuff off

00:36:33.610 --> 00:36:36.190
of the first few albums where they went heavier

00:36:36.190 --> 00:36:42.170
with the tracks. And yeah, it's definitely how

00:36:42.170 --> 00:36:45.730
they've been playing these songs the last, I

00:36:45.730 --> 00:36:50.130
don't know how many years. Yeah. But anyway.

00:36:50.269 --> 00:36:53.449
I love their vocals. I think this kind of music,

00:36:53.510 --> 00:36:55.869
this new metal, groove metal, especially when

00:36:55.869 --> 00:37:01.750
they have a good production. It's a perfect genre

00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:09.269
of metal to express, how would you put it, to

00:37:09.269 --> 00:37:14.730
express what's going on, or whatever those females

00:37:14.730 --> 00:37:17.329
are trying to express through their music. It

00:37:17.329 --> 00:37:21.710
really connects with their emotions in ways that...

00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.019
goes beyond what the guys can do sometimes you

00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:28.639
know new metal really connects with i think uh

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:32.099
that deep down anger especially people were feeling

00:37:32.099 --> 00:37:35.519
in the 90s you know yeah um and and you can hear

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:40.199
that with uh you know with the the the lyrics

00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:43.860
you know as the 90s went on um and just how it

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:45.760
fit the style of the music you know just really

00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:48.599
expressing anger in ways that other genres of

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:53.130
metal hadn't not done yet right and uh And there's

00:37:53.130 --> 00:37:55.130
some amazing bands, even though I'm not a big

00:37:55.130 --> 00:37:58.989
fan of it. But especially some of these female

00:37:58.989 --> 00:38:02.570
groups like Kitty, they take it to a whole nother

00:38:02.570 --> 00:38:06.409
level to a point where it does move me. I think

00:38:06.409 --> 00:38:10.230
it does a great job of expressing their emotions

00:38:10.230 --> 00:38:18.590
through music. Yeah, I think that. They were

00:38:18.590 --> 00:38:21.269
lumped in there because of the time period when

00:38:21.269 --> 00:38:23.690
they came out, because I think that they definitely

00:38:23.690 --> 00:38:28.150
were heavier than a lot of the other bands that

00:38:28.150 --> 00:38:32.289
were coming out at that time. And also what you

00:38:32.289 --> 00:38:36.389
mentioned, for a lot of people that I know that

00:38:36.389 --> 00:38:40.989
are around my age group, that couldn't get into

00:38:40.989 --> 00:38:44.429
a lot of 90s music. their gripe was oh you know

00:38:44.429 --> 00:38:47.610
it's too depressing it's too angry it's too this

00:38:47.610 --> 00:38:50.550
it's like well yeah you know if you're happy

00:38:50.550 --> 00:38:54.269
all the time i mean that's kind of that's not

00:38:54.269 --> 00:38:57.369
realistic you know sometimes you just need to

00:38:57.369 --> 00:39:00.730
get out and vent your frustrations and obviously

00:39:00.730 --> 00:39:02.969
a lot of the a lot of their music a lot of the

00:39:02.969 --> 00:39:05.909
lyrics is about stuff that they faced in in their

00:39:05.909 --> 00:39:09.150
lives and especially a lot of dark stuff yeah

00:39:09.630 --> 00:39:11.889
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talked about how, you know,

00:39:11.909 --> 00:39:16.889
being women in a male -dominated genre, you know,

00:39:16.949 --> 00:39:20.090
a lot of this stuff has come out of it. Some

00:39:20.090 --> 00:39:22.010
of it's so dark I can't handle it. Like that

00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:25.530
Opeth. Right. Man, some of the, I mean, they're

00:39:25.530 --> 00:39:27.530
a great band, but some of the stories that she

00:39:27.530 --> 00:39:31.050
tells, they're so dark. You know, because I guess

00:39:31.050 --> 00:39:35.210
she's explaining her experiences in life. And,

00:39:35.210 --> 00:39:39.389
man, it's just. it takes you to a depressing

00:39:39.389 --> 00:39:42.230
place as if you're empathetic with what she's

00:39:42.230 --> 00:39:44.110
trying to express, you know, through a lyric.

00:39:44.329 --> 00:39:47.329
Yeah. Yeah. It can make it hard to enjoy the

00:39:47.329 --> 00:39:50.329
music. Yeah. But, but that's how you, that's

00:39:50.329 --> 00:39:52.429
how you deal with that stuff. That's what metal's

00:39:52.429 --> 00:39:55.630
for. Yeah, absolutely. Is there anything else

00:39:55.630 --> 00:39:57.489
that you listened to that jumped out at you?

00:39:58.050 --> 00:40:02.070
No, no, that was, that was not much going on

00:40:02.070 --> 00:40:05.550
that week for me. Okay. So, all right. So I'll

00:40:05.550 --> 00:40:11.880
write that down as your, All right, cool. Jeremy,

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:14.579
what did you listen to? Yeah, just a couple for

00:40:14.579 --> 00:40:17.820
me this week. This Side of the Dirt by Dusted

00:40:17.820 --> 00:40:20.860
Angel. I don't know if you know much about them,

00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.500
but they describe themselves as doom rock. But

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:27.500
I say they're quite a bit punky as well. very

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:30.039
sort of long intro into the very first song.

00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:31.920
So that kind of put me off a little bit. I was

00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.119
thinking, oh, is it all like this? But once it

00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:37.320
gets going, real sort of groovy, groovy music.

00:40:38.619 --> 00:40:41.119
That's a very, very sort of neat and tidy. What's

00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:45.219
all. what I'd describe as bouncy riffs and a

00:40:45.219 --> 00:40:46.960
little bit of angst in there, a little bit of

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.780
metal coming in. So a very listenable mix of

00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:52.659
tunes. I didn't know much about them. Apparently

00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:55.739
they're from California. They've released one

00:40:55.739 --> 00:40:58.860
other album back in 2020. Really enjoyed it.

00:40:58.900 --> 00:41:04.840
It was a nice listen. So that was one. Of the

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:06.800
two, I'd probably pick the next one, which was

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.519
the Mirador. debut album again didn't know much

00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:13.860
about this but then i realized i did um because

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:17.000
obviously you you played a uh put a track up

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.679
on your patreon page and of course it was formed

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.320
by two two guys and one of them was the greta

00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.769
van fleet jake kiska um And, of course, it dawned

00:41:27.769 --> 00:41:29.389
on me when I listened to the music because it's

00:41:29.389 --> 00:41:32.929
very Zeppelin, it's very Rival Sons. And I like

00:41:32.929 --> 00:41:35.570
that sort of music. And I didn't like Greta Van

00:41:35.570 --> 00:41:37.690
Fleet. I just didn't like the vocal for some

00:41:37.690 --> 00:41:42.360
reason. But I really like this. yeah, it does

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:44.860
remind me a little bit too much of Rival Sons

00:41:44.860 --> 00:41:47.719
on occasions. And sometimes you can get a bit

00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:50.420
too close to, to another band, but then it doesn't

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:52.739
stop Airborne or Crocus, you know, they sound

00:41:52.739 --> 00:41:56.820
exactly like ACDC. So, you know, as I say, I

00:41:56.820 --> 00:41:58.920
wasn't a fan of Greta Van Fleet, but I am a fan

00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.159
of Mirador and I'm going to listen to that one

00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:04.019
again and enjoy it. So yeah, that's my album

00:42:04.019 --> 00:42:11.869
of the week. All right, cool. So for me, I started

00:42:11.869 --> 00:42:19.750
listening to the Tron Areas soundtrack, which

00:42:19.750 --> 00:42:24.690
was done by Nine Inch Nails. I really like the

00:42:24.690 --> 00:42:29.909
one single that they've released off of the album.

00:42:29.969 --> 00:42:32.550
To me, it's the best Nine Inch Nails song that

00:42:32.550 --> 00:42:36.690
I've heard in quite some time. I'm probably going

00:42:36.690 --> 00:42:39.550
all the way back to Hesitation Marks, which at

00:42:39.550 --> 00:42:47.730
this point, probably like 15 years ago. So there's

00:42:47.730 --> 00:42:54.110
that. I mean, it's instrumental except for three

00:42:54.110 --> 00:42:58.750
tracks, and two of the three tracks with vocals

00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:00.730
I think are good. The other one is just kind

00:43:00.730 --> 00:43:05.760
of all right. I listened to November's Doom with

00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:14.039
Major Arcana. This is a mix of a bunch of different

00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:20.199
things. It's Doom metal, but it does have a little

00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:24.840
bit of a growly vocal to it as well. There's

00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.079
guttural vocals. There's melodic vocals. It reminds

00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:32.940
me a lot of Paradise Lost. who also released

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:37.440
an album, which is The Ascension. I can kind

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.099
of say the same thing about both albums, is when

00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:45.719
they're on top of their game, the tracks really

00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:49.059
speak to me, and it's stuff that I really, really

00:43:49.059 --> 00:43:53.219
enjoy. But then there's other stuff that just

00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:57.199
does nothing for me. I think both have great

00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:59.699
things, and even with the November Doom, there's

00:43:59.699 --> 00:44:03.469
some stuff that... uh, goes into the, uh, typo

00:44:03.469 --> 00:44:07.849
negative, um, territory with, with some of the

00:44:07.849 --> 00:44:12.650
stuff. And I, I found it to be rather enjoyable.

00:44:13.289 --> 00:44:19.469
Um, but, um, uh, my pick is going to be the,

00:44:19.489 --> 00:44:22.429
the kitty EP as well, because I'm a fan of these

00:44:22.429 --> 00:44:24.849
songs from way back when, again, I think that

00:44:24.849 --> 00:44:28.289
they've done by redoing them. I think that they've

00:44:28.289 --> 00:44:31.630
done them the right way. And I've been a fan

00:44:31.630 --> 00:44:35.750
of the band for so long, and I enjoy the entire

00:44:35.750 --> 00:44:38.730
EP. Okay, I think you're schooling me here. So

00:44:38.730 --> 00:44:44.650
those were covers? Those were re -40s? Yeah,

00:44:44.650 --> 00:44:48.469
Spit was their EP that they came out with back

00:44:48.469 --> 00:44:54.309
in the year 2000. And the Spit 2025, okay. Right.

00:44:54.510 --> 00:44:56.869
I didn't do my research on that. I just thought

00:44:56.869 --> 00:44:59.889
it was some new tracks from Kitty. And I really

00:44:59.889 --> 00:45:03.090
enjoyed them. They're all redone, but I think

00:45:03.090 --> 00:45:05.949
kind of the idea for doing these tracks, the

00:45:05.949 --> 00:45:10.409
way that they did them was that this has been

00:45:10.409 --> 00:45:15.309
the lineup for, at least from the last album

00:45:15.309 --> 00:45:18.170
and everything leading up to the last album to

00:45:18.170 --> 00:45:22.110
now, this is the lineup that I saw live back

00:45:22.110 --> 00:45:28.010
in 09. So before they went away for a, for a,

00:45:28.349 --> 00:45:32.710
period of time this was this was the lineup and

00:45:32.710 --> 00:45:37.030
so i think they wanted to both commemorate um

00:45:37.030 --> 00:45:41.269
that original ep and also have this lineup play

00:45:41.269 --> 00:45:43.230
it how they're playing you know how they've been

00:45:43.230 --> 00:45:47.250
playing them these tracks for the last x amount

00:45:47.250 --> 00:45:52.030
of years so that's good to know helps me know

00:45:52.030 --> 00:45:57.369
what i'm talking about there you go all right

00:46:07.449 --> 00:46:13.869
We have Dr. Sexy. So this is somebody who's joined

00:46:13.869 --> 00:46:16.010
us, at least as far as I know, for the first

00:46:16.010 --> 00:46:20.130
time. Saying, wow, Vic, you must be fun at parties.

00:46:20.170 --> 00:46:22.590
Hey, guys, let's rock this joint with the new

00:46:22.590 --> 00:46:25.130
Tron soundtrack. Listen, I'm a fan of Nine Inch

00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:27.619
Nails, so I'm going to check out. Anything that

00:46:27.619 --> 00:46:33.920
they put out. Does this compare to any of, you

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:37.079
know, my favorite albums or tracks by them? No,

00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.019
not at all. But doesn't mean that I can't add

00:46:40.019 --> 00:46:43.000
tracks onto, you know, my Nine Inch Nails playlist

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:48.079
here. Let's see. Let's move on to the last week

00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:52.219
of September. We had new albums from Revocation,

00:46:52.579 --> 00:46:57.360
Rage, Amorphous, Curse of Cain. Risen Atlantis

00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:05.380
featuring Frank Beck. Corypheus, I guess is how

00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:11.980
you pronounce it. Last Wretch. Moore's Principum

00:47:11.980 --> 00:47:14.880
Established, I guess, or Estium, I don't know.

00:47:15.619 --> 00:47:19.940
Overt Enemy. The Sorrow of Being Immaculate.

00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:27.309
Fauna Paradox. High End, I guess, Sainthood Reps,

00:47:27.309 --> 00:47:33.449
From Fall to Spring, Abraham, Indecent Behavior,

00:47:33.969 --> 00:47:39.670
Terra Atlantica, After Earth, The Vintage Caravan,

00:47:39.690 --> 00:47:44.190
EPs from President, Reissues from Acres, and

00:47:44.190 --> 00:47:48.349
Apple and Shine from Mother Love Bone, and live

00:47:48.349 --> 00:47:51.849
releases from Thunderbird, Divine, and Beat.

00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:04.760
All right. So let's see here. Jeremy, what did

00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.039
you listen to this week? Yeah, this kind of confirms

00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:10.599
to me this week that the month was good overall.

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.519
I think it was a really good month. And I listened

00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:16.280
to three albums in this week. The first one was

00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:19.219
Dark Night of the Soul by After Earth, a band

00:48:19.219 --> 00:48:21.360
that really reminds me a lot of Eamon Amarth.

00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.139
So if you know, obviously, you know, Eamon and

00:48:25.139 --> 00:48:27.599
Amarth, you've heard the vocals. The vocals are

00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:32.719
identical. I mean, it is the same. The music

00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:35.559
is quite similar. You've got that sort of chugging

00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:40.739
melody with the growly sort of vocals. I mean,

00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:42.860
there was a US band of the same name active some

00:48:42.860 --> 00:48:45.000
years ago, but apparently this is a Swedish outfit.

00:48:45.179 --> 00:48:48.079
They started around eight years ago. Not many

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:51.590
albums. I enjoyed it. It was fun. I like Eamon

00:48:51.590 --> 00:48:54.750
Amarth, so I'm going to like this as well. Then

00:48:54.750 --> 00:48:58.230
I moved on to Borderland by Amorphis, or Amorphis.

00:48:59.769 --> 00:49:02.010
Album number 15, apparently, from this Finnish

00:49:02.010 --> 00:49:06.190
prog sort of folk metal band. I may be wrong,

00:49:06.389 --> 00:49:08.130
but I'm not sure that I've actually listened

00:49:08.130 --> 00:49:10.590
to any of their stuff before, just through one

00:49:10.590 --> 00:49:12.989
thing or another. It was a good listen, though.

00:49:13.050 --> 00:49:15.829
There was a bit of a mix of growly vocals. There

00:49:15.829 --> 00:49:18.570
was a lot of clear vocals on, nicely produced.

00:49:20.170 --> 00:49:22.230
They do something that a lot of bands fail to

00:49:22.230 --> 00:49:25.050
do. They actually write good songs. And so that's,

00:49:25.050 --> 00:49:28.409
you know, that's something. They had some nice

00:49:28.409 --> 00:49:31.389
haunting sort of soaring melodies there, which

00:49:31.389 --> 00:49:33.829
I like, you know, because I like that sort of

00:49:33.829 --> 00:49:37.050
symphonic sounds from the Nordic bands. I guess

00:49:37.050 --> 00:49:39.150
you would say it's a little bit more Ghost than

00:49:39.150 --> 00:49:42.150
Nightwish. So if you prefer Ghost than Nightwish,

00:49:42.170 --> 00:49:44.449
you're going to kind of get into this. So, yeah,

00:49:44.489 --> 00:49:46.610
that was a great, great lesson as well. Really

00:49:46.610 --> 00:49:50.250
enjoyed it. But my album of the week is definitely

00:49:50.250 --> 00:49:55.070
Portals by the Vintage Caravan. Not a band, I

00:49:55.070 --> 00:49:56.929
would say, that's been on my radar previously.

00:49:57.349 --> 00:50:01.369
I gave it a try. As we know, they hail from Iceland,

00:50:01.530 --> 00:50:05.289
which is unusual. Album number six for them.

00:50:05.630 --> 00:50:10.349
Very heavy sort of 1970s influence stuff. Slightly

00:50:10.349 --> 00:50:14.320
folky, a little bit of space rock in there. Real

00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:17.119
richness to the production, which I liked a lot.

00:50:18.179 --> 00:50:21.119
Days go by, the song really hit the spot. It

00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.639
sounded like a real sort of slice of deep purple.

00:50:24.659 --> 00:50:27.500
They had some proggier Uriah Heep kind of stuff

00:50:27.500 --> 00:50:30.800
coming in there. They had touches of Rush on

00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:35.500
a song, My Aurora. And the song Current sounds

00:50:35.500 --> 00:50:38.699
like it could have been a Rival Sons epic. It's

00:50:38.699 --> 00:50:43.510
so good. So very sort of... very sort of loose

00:50:43.510 --> 00:50:46.730
genre defying outfit, I would say, because they,

00:50:46.769 --> 00:50:49.550
they don't sort of fit into quite one thing.

00:50:49.869 --> 00:50:52.170
And for that, they're, you know, better off for

00:50:52.170 --> 00:50:54.829
it. And I would say this is a real tremendous

00:50:54.829 --> 00:50:57.210
album. I'd be surprised if this isn't in my top

00:50:57.210 --> 00:50:59.309
10 for the year. And I really, really enjoyed

00:50:59.309 --> 00:51:04.010
it. So obviously album of the week. Cool. Cool.

00:51:04.409 --> 00:51:09.510
And just, just so you know, Edgar Winterson mentioned

00:51:09.510 --> 00:51:13.289
that he picked up Amorphous' debut back in 92.

00:51:16.110 --> 00:51:19.389
Amorphous, I've posted over the years on Patreon

00:51:19.389 --> 00:51:22.550
because this was a band that I didn't know of

00:51:22.550 --> 00:51:24.829
while living in the States. But when I moved

00:51:24.829 --> 00:51:28.320
over here. Um, I was told by, I don't know how

00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.579
many people, you don't know amorphous. Oh, well

00:51:30.579 --> 00:51:33.099
they're sellouts now, but when they used to do

00:51:33.099 --> 00:51:35.400
death metal and they used to do this, they were

00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.139
great. But now there's too many melodies and

00:51:38.139 --> 00:51:41.480
this, that, and the other thing. So yes, I've

00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:43.539
had plenty of amorphous discussions over the

00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:47.880
years and the vintage caravan. Um, since I've

00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:51.500
started Patreon a few years back, I've posted

00:51:51.500 --> 00:51:57.820
videos, uh, over the years from them. So, cool.

00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.840
Ed, anything jump out at you this week? Yeah,

00:52:01.860 --> 00:52:05.179
I had two things that I enjoyed. Okay. The first

00:52:05.179 --> 00:52:09.900
one will be a band that all of you who like thrash

00:52:09.900 --> 00:52:15.659
metal with good singing vocals is Paradox, a

00:52:15.659 --> 00:52:18.860
German band. Mysterium is the name of the record.

00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:23.659
And it's just a good old classic thrash metal

00:52:23.659 --> 00:52:26.670
band, if you like. Metallica and Anthrax, and

00:52:26.670 --> 00:52:29.630
you'll hear some Testament -like bits in there.

00:52:30.469 --> 00:52:36.510
But the vocalist is more on the Joey side. He's

00:52:36.510 --> 00:52:39.329
just a good old classic heavy metal singer. So

00:52:39.329 --> 00:52:42.269
those who don't like the growly vocals or even

00:52:42.269 --> 00:52:45.110
the Mustang -type vocals, you might like this

00:52:45.110 --> 00:52:49.409
band. The song I thought was great has a great

00:52:49.409 --> 00:52:53.809
Megadeth -like speed groove in the song. Those

00:52:53.809 --> 00:52:56.849
Who Resist. That's a good track to check out

00:52:56.849 --> 00:53:03.369
later on. Besides that cult burial I mentioned

00:53:03.369 --> 00:53:05.789
earlier, this is probably the most death metal

00:53:05.789 --> 00:53:10.690
-like thing that I liked. The Revocation, New

00:53:10.690 --> 00:53:14.510
Gods, New Masters. They've been around since

00:53:14.510 --> 00:53:20.670
2009. They're kind of a tech death metal band.

00:53:22.059 --> 00:53:26.860
They remind me a lot of deathcore bands. You

00:53:26.860 --> 00:53:29.920
know, they've got death metal, a death metal

00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:32.400
sound, but their vocals are kind of a little

00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:37.099
bit metalcore, deathcore -like. Yeah. And they've

00:53:37.099 --> 00:53:40.420
been a band that I've kind of liked, but they've

00:53:40.420 --> 00:53:44.219
done a perfect job with this new album. And I

00:53:44.219 --> 00:53:46.440
tell you, the way they produce this record is

00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:52.699
just absolutely perfect. Especially if you listen

00:53:52.699 --> 00:53:55.699
to it on a good stereo in your car or at home.

00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:02.059
It's got a really heavy, thick sound. It makes

00:54:02.059 --> 00:54:06.500
me feel like if I've walked into someone's soundproof

00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:10.260
studio and both guitars had a couple of stacks

00:54:10.260 --> 00:54:14.760
and you're just being kind of wrapped up in this

00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:18.699
heavy sound of distortion. And it's got good,

00:54:18.780 --> 00:54:21.929
heavy jug to it. The songs are really well written.

00:54:23.389 --> 00:54:27.889
The way they produced it is just perfect for

00:54:27.889 --> 00:54:32.849
me as far as how you record metal to kind of

00:54:32.849 --> 00:54:36.329
have it just right there in your face and getting

00:54:36.329 --> 00:54:39.550
into where you're feeling the music. The last

00:54:39.550 --> 00:54:41.530
record that I thought was produced that well

00:54:41.530 --> 00:54:44.730
was that Evile record. I'm forgetting the title

00:54:44.730 --> 00:54:47.789
of it. But I think I like the production of this

00:54:47.789 --> 00:54:53.260
one even more. The songwriting is great. There's

00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:55.460
one song called Data Chaos that you all should

00:54:55.460 --> 00:54:59.139
listen to. Right. I'm going to even recommend

00:54:59.139 --> 00:55:03.000
that one to Brad to play on his show. But the

00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:05.059
production of it, it just takes it to a whole

00:55:05.059 --> 00:55:08.579
nother level. If you can, you've got a good stereo

00:55:08.579 --> 00:55:11.820
at home and put that record on and enjoy a tune

00:55:11.820 --> 00:55:14.920
or two off of that one. Definitely my pick of

00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:18.800
the week. okay yeah i got a chance if it wasn't

00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:23.719
for the condition critical um i got a chance

00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:27.460
to listen to that one as well and i mean um it's

00:55:27.460 --> 00:55:32.800
funny uh i wanted to find the uh singer guitarist

00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:35.179
name dave davidson i don't want to mess that

00:55:35.179 --> 00:55:38.260
up but as i pulled it up it says progressive

00:55:38.260 --> 00:55:42.139
metal groove metal and it's funny that they've

00:55:42.139 --> 00:55:46.449
always had that kind of progressive label attached

00:55:46.449 --> 00:55:50.090
to them but i mean they've it's not that progressive

00:55:50.090 --> 00:55:54.250
really i mean the it's more on a technical death

00:55:54.250 --> 00:55:57.929
metal side right right it's a whole nother uh

00:55:57.929 --> 00:56:02.170
range of yeah it's the the playing is very technical

00:56:02.170 --> 00:56:05.909
it's very succinct and intricate and whatnot

00:56:05.909 --> 00:56:10.050
i mean the music is just outrageous on it uh

00:56:10.050 --> 00:56:13.940
question too uh There's an album that came out

00:56:13.940 --> 00:56:16.639
on the 30th. Does that include that? Are we doing

00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:21.659
another week for those two days? What album is

00:56:21.659 --> 00:56:25.659
that? It's a, it was just a good old classic

00:56:25.659 --> 00:56:29.159
death metal band called rib spreader. Okay. That

00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:34.480
was released on the 30th. That one kind of reminds

00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.480
me of like dismember. It's got, you know, that

00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:40.650
kind of. production to it it's just it's this

00:56:40.650 --> 00:56:43.650
classic death metal on the songwriting and the

00:56:43.650 --> 00:56:47.050
vocals and uh but and the guitar is kind of funny

00:56:47.050 --> 00:56:50.170
it's it's like they have one of those old 80s

00:56:50.170 --> 00:56:52.670
orange boss pedals and they've turned all the

00:56:52.670 --> 00:56:55.190
treble up right and all you're getting is just

00:56:55.190 --> 00:56:58.510
crunch crunch crunch and you know it almost sounds

00:56:58.510 --> 00:57:01.250
like they took their small amp and put it into

00:57:01.250 --> 00:57:03.769
a pringles can and you're just getting that really

00:57:03.769 --> 00:57:07.500
crunchy canned sound to it But it's still getting

00:57:07.500 --> 00:57:10.139
some thick bottom end from the drums and the

00:57:10.139 --> 00:57:14.320
bass. And I think if you like bands like Dismember

00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:17.579
and Entombed, this is, I think, a newer band

00:57:17.579 --> 00:57:19.860
that you might want to check out. Came out on

00:57:19.860 --> 00:57:24.440
the 30th. Okay. Yeah, I just have the 26th. I

00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:27.739
don't have the 30th. I've got to check out. Get

00:57:27.739 --> 00:57:31.119
some bonus material from Ed there. There you

00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:37.199
go, as usual. Ed never disappoints. Um, so, all

00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.320
right. So I got a chance to listen to the revocation.

00:57:39.659 --> 00:57:44.300
I got a chance to listen to, uh, the president

00:57:44.300 --> 00:57:49.960
EP, the king of terror, terrors, excuse me, plural

00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:52.619
more than anything, because the band is releasing

00:57:52.619 --> 00:57:56.860
or receiving, excuse me, so much hype that I'm

00:57:56.860 --> 00:57:59.320
like, you know, I, I, I need to check this out.

00:57:59.340 --> 00:58:03.320
They're being, um, uh, tied into the whole sleep

00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:11.150
token thing as well. And I got to tell you, I

00:58:11.150 --> 00:58:15.329
like the first track off of this, but then it's

00:58:15.329 --> 00:58:17.909
similar to the Sleep Token. It just doesn't sound

00:58:17.909 --> 00:58:22.050
like metal to me. You know, there's one thing

00:58:22.050 --> 00:58:26.010
where, you know, a band like Limp Bizkit can

00:58:26.010 --> 00:58:31.329
use autotune as a goofy thing in a song and they

00:58:31.329 --> 00:58:34.079
can get away with it. Because of the type of

00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:38.239
band that they are. But when you have bands like

00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:42.760
President or Sleep Token using autotune and using

00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:49.199
different overtly pop elements, I don't know,

00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:51.559
and labeling it metal. If it wasn't labeled metal,

00:58:51.739 --> 00:58:55.559
I probably wouldn't have an issue with it. But

00:58:55.559 --> 00:59:00.340
it's not something that I reach to if I want

00:59:00.340 --> 00:59:02.820
to listen to metal. I don't know. Maybe I'm just

00:59:02.820 --> 00:59:07.340
weird. Maybe I'm just old. Who knows? Or maybe

00:59:07.340 --> 00:59:11.119
both. Or maybe both. That's the way I feel about

00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:21.159
myself. So there you go. And let's see. So the

00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:24.199
last thing that I checked out, and it's going

00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:26.780
to be my album of the week, and I was kind of

00:59:26.780 --> 00:59:29.400
surprised with this because this is Rage with

00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:38.130
New World Rising. Rage has been kind of paint

00:59:38.130 --> 00:59:40.690
by numbers with their last few albums. It's not

00:59:40.690 --> 00:59:44.369
that they're bad, but it's just more of, okay,

00:59:44.449 --> 00:59:47.449
I've heard this already. Give me something. Give

00:59:47.449 --> 00:59:51.909
me an explosive solo. Give me some type of a

00:59:51.909 --> 00:59:57.150
melody line to a song or some structure to a

00:59:57.150 --> 01:00:01.039
song that kind of grabs me. Big riff that grabs

01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:03.860
me. And I have to say that there's quite a bit

01:00:03.860 --> 01:00:07.619
off of this album that I like. I mean, again,

01:00:07.739 --> 01:00:09.719
they're not reinventing the wheel. And sometimes

01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:13.679
you just want something that sounds familiar

01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:17.019
to kind of grab you. And it's not radio friendly.

01:00:17.340 --> 01:00:20.719
It's there's I mean, it's for the most part,

01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:23.500
it's a it's a mix of heavy metal and some thrash

01:00:23.500 --> 01:00:25.900
towards the end of the album. You know, they

01:00:25.900 --> 01:00:30.360
kind of loses a little steam, but. It's going

01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:36.960
to be my album of the week. So let me go over

01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:40.940
the albums that we picked for the month of September.

01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:47.320
So we have on the 5th, Jeremy with Fury and Interceptor.

01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.579
And we had Ed with Condition Critical and Degenerated

01:00:52.579 --> 01:00:56.440
Chamber. I went with Glenn Hughes and Chosen.

01:00:57.610 --> 01:01:02.889
For the week of the 12th, Ed went with Hellstar

01:01:02.889 --> 01:01:07.349
and the Devil's Masquerade. I went with Demon

01:01:07.349 --> 01:01:11.670
Hunter and There Was a Light Here. And Jeremy

01:01:11.670 --> 01:01:18.989
went with Crucible and Hail to the Force. The

01:01:18.989 --> 01:01:24.849
19th, let's see, Jeremy went with Mirador and

01:01:24.849 --> 01:01:30.159
Mirador. And then both Ed and I went with the

01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:36.440
Kitty Spit 25 EP. And then for the week of the

01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:42.099
26th, Ed went with Revocation and New Gods, New

01:01:42.099 --> 01:01:45.880
Masters. I went with Rage, A New World Rising.

01:01:46.099 --> 01:01:50.239
And Jeremy went with The Vintage Caravan and

01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:56.590
Portals. Real quickly here. um before coming

01:01:56.590 --> 01:02:00.050
on the show uh ed brought up an interesting topic

01:02:00.050 --> 01:02:06.989
and it is how we listen to these albums um you

01:02:06.989 --> 01:02:10.050
know what we kind of do to to kind of get in

01:02:10.050 --> 01:02:13.869
the mood and and absorb all of this music uh

01:02:13.869 --> 01:02:21.309
ed what do you tend to do so i i keep uh the

01:02:21.309 --> 01:02:24.630
new release tab for from metalstorm .net open

01:02:24.630 --> 01:02:27.789
on my computer. Okay. And so what I've been doing,

01:02:27.809 --> 01:02:29.329
especially lately since we've been doing the

01:02:29.329 --> 01:02:31.869
shows, every morning when I get to my desk at

01:02:31.869 --> 01:02:35.269
work, I refresh that page, and it'll tell you

01:02:35.269 --> 01:02:39.449
what genres every band is. So I can easily pick

01:02:39.449 --> 01:02:43.550
the thrash metal, groove metal, death metal bands,

01:02:43.730 --> 01:02:46.929
whatever, and then I throw those into my Apple

01:02:46.929 --> 01:02:52.639
library, and then I create a playlist. that's

01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:55.659
categorized with everything released in September

01:02:55.659 --> 01:03:00.139
with a rule that has a plays of zero so that

01:03:00.139 --> 01:03:02.159
if I listen to a track, it'll take it out of

01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:04.639
there because iTunes, especially if you favorite

01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:06.559
something, it's going to play it over and over

01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:08.719
again. And I want to make sure I'm getting through

01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:13.320
everything. And I mainly listen to all of that

01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.079
stuff in the morning as I'm going to work and

01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:19.559
my head's clear and I'm ready for music. you

01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:22.099
know, kind of helping me sort all my thoughts.

01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:27.880
I play, I randomly play tracks from that playlist

01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:32.059
and stuff I don't care for, I delete. And then

01:03:32.059 --> 01:03:35.219
the other stuff that I am liking, you know, of

01:03:35.219 --> 01:03:38.559
course I keep listening to. And then, you know,

01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:40.139
towards the end of the month, I start trying

01:03:40.139 --> 01:03:42.139
to listen to the stuff that I really enjoyed

01:03:42.139 --> 01:03:47.179
in full so that I kind of refresh my memory on

01:03:47.179 --> 01:03:50.710
what I've listened to. So and the only disadvantage

01:03:50.710 --> 01:03:54.670
of doing that is that, like I said before, I'm

01:03:54.670 --> 01:03:56.909
not having much time to listen to the stuff that

01:03:56.909 --> 01:03:59.369
I like from the last month or even, you know,

01:03:59.389 --> 01:04:02.389
throughout the year. So I'm kind of doing that

01:04:02.389 --> 01:04:04.869
Monday through Thursday when I'm driving down

01:04:04.869 --> 01:04:07.750
to my clients. And then on the weekends, I'm

01:04:07.750 --> 01:04:10.309
listening to everything else, whatever pops up

01:04:10.309 --> 01:04:16.210
in the playlist. Right. Well, that's cool. Jeremy,

01:04:16.329 --> 01:04:19.420
how about you? Yeah, sort of. Well, I listen

01:04:19.420 --> 01:04:23.940
to, I have a look at Heavy Music HQ because they

01:04:23.940 --> 01:04:26.679
have a lot of albums listed for the whole week.

01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:29.119
This is often before you put up your own list,

01:04:29.260 --> 01:04:32.440
Victor. So I go through there. I have a look.

01:04:33.110 --> 01:04:35.210
basically at the ones that are on Frontiers or

01:04:35.210 --> 01:04:37.289
the sort of more melodic bands that I notice

01:04:37.289 --> 01:04:40.409
that are on there. I pick out some at random.

01:04:40.690 --> 01:04:42.869
I kind of know that the ones that are going to

01:04:42.869 --> 01:04:46.090
be fairly death metal -y or whatever, you can

01:04:46.090 --> 01:04:49.989
tell by the album titles. And I kind of, you

01:04:49.989 --> 01:04:52.210
know, try to pick out three or four off there,

01:04:52.269 --> 01:04:55.829
have a little listen, usually listen in bed late

01:04:55.829 --> 01:04:59.690
at night or just pick out. maybe two or three

01:04:59.690 --> 01:05:01.869
songs off each album. And then you kind of know

01:05:01.869 --> 01:05:03.949
if you're going to like the rest of it. And if

01:05:03.949 --> 01:05:05.730
you like the rest of it, then you go on and listen

01:05:05.730 --> 01:05:08.210
to the whole album. And then I'll go back to

01:05:08.210 --> 01:05:10.670
your list because I want to put the X's on the

01:05:10.670 --> 01:05:14.210
spot. And then I noticed that you've got other

01:05:14.210 --> 01:05:16.769
stuff on there that isn't on their list. And

01:05:16.769 --> 01:05:19.369
so then I'll pick out one or two of those. And

01:05:19.369 --> 01:05:22.469
then I condense it down and pick three, usually

01:05:22.469 --> 01:05:26.090
three that, you know, the ones that I kind of

01:05:26.090 --> 01:05:30.289
like a lot or, If I don't like any of them, then

01:05:30.289 --> 01:05:33.030
obviously I have to pick out one or two that

01:05:33.030 --> 01:05:36.750
I mentioned that are not so good. But yeah, that's

01:05:36.750 --> 01:05:40.269
how I tend to do it, really. Pick a long list,

01:05:40.409 --> 01:05:44.349
condense it down, and then you can't listen to

01:05:44.349 --> 01:05:46.949
everything, unfortunately. It'd be great if we

01:05:46.949 --> 01:05:51.110
could, but time's precious. Absolutely. Yeah,

01:05:51.170 --> 01:05:54.690
for me, it's usually in the car when I'm taking

01:05:54.690 --> 01:05:58.480
my kids to school. And whenever I'm working out,

01:05:58.500 --> 01:06:01.800
so if I'm going for a walk or a bike ride, I'm

01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:04.320
listening. Or if I'm working out with weights

01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:09.500
at home, then I'm listening to something. I have

01:06:09.500 --> 01:06:14.500
to, it's usually the last two weeks of the month

01:06:14.500 --> 01:06:17.119
where I get backed up on what podcasts I listen

01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:20.840
to because I set everything aside to just listen

01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:25.130
to these albums. And, uh, and try, I try to listen

01:06:25.130 --> 01:06:27.030
to as much as possible. Some months I can listen

01:06:27.030 --> 01:06:30.969
to more than others, but, um, like I said before,

01:06:31.090 --> 01:06:34.789
there's always good music coming out. Hopefully

01:06:34.789 --> 01:06:39.309
we're helping you find some of that stuff. And,

01:06:39.389 --> 01:06:43.150
um, I've always said it whenever I've heard that

01:06:43.150 --> 01:06:45.769
you've lightened your pocket because you've purchased

01:06:45.769 --> 01:06:49.590
something that we recommended here. It's, it's

01:06:49.590 --> 01:06:51.949
a great measure of satisfaction because it's,

01:06:52.300 --> 01:06:54.179
Kind of the reason why we do this. We're turning

01:06:54.179 --> 01:06:58.539
people on to music that they didn't know had

01:06:58.539 --> 01:07:01.000
come out otherwise, or maybe they didn't know

01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:03.119
the band, or maybe they didn't realize that a

01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:06.559
band had put something out. Next month, I'm going

01:07:06.559 --> 01:07:09.920
to have a brand new band to introduce to everyone

01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.440
that a lot of my extreme metal fans are going

01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:19.239
to be very happy about. Wow, okay. Yeah, I pre

01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:22.150
-ordered it. The vinyl's coming out. Yeah, in

01:07:22.150 --> 01:07:26.550
October. So I should have it soon to listen to

01:07:26.550 --> 01:07:32.269
and give you a review next month. Okay. And Edgar

01:07:32.269 --> 01:07:35.849
Winterson there pointed out Taylor Swift came

01:07:35.849 --> 01:07:38.510
out with her record. He said that was his record

01:07:38.510 --> 01:07:40.389
of the month, but I think that came out in October,

01:07:40.590 --> 01:07:45.829
right? October 1st or 2nd? I do not know. I'll

01:07:45.829 --> 01:07:47.630
have to give you my review on that on the next

01:07:47.630 --> 01:07:49.909
show. I think you're right. Definitely beginning

01:07:49.909 --> 01:07:57.949
of October. Oh, man. I guess Edgar isn't a fan

01:07:57.949 --> 01:08:06.489
of the Charlie XCX diss track. So let's see.

01:08:06.550 --> 01:08:10.769
Yeah, there's plenty of stuff that's coming out

01:08:10.769 --> 01:08:15.559
in October that looks very appealing. Does the

01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:17.840
Testament come out in October? Yeah, that's what

01:08:17.840 --> 01:08:19.439
I was just going to check out. All right. So

01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:21.420
I'll be doing that one, too, because I'm going

01:08:21.420 --> 01:08:23.840
to listen to that one. Yeah, I think we'll all

01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:25.840
listen to that one. I tell you, I'm having a

01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:27.779
hard time, though, with like TikTok, not hearing

01:08:27.779 --> 01:08:30.000
stuff because I'll be flipping along. Then all

01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:31.840
of a sudden I'm hearing that new Megadeth song

01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:33.859
and I'm like, oh, no, I don't want to hear that.

01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:38.119
So the first three, I heard like three seconds

01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:41.239
and it sounded great. But yeah, I'm trying hard

01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:42.920
not to hear anything. And it's the same thing

01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:46.539
with the Testament. I so bad want to capture

01:08:46.539 --> 01:08:48.279
that feel of when you would go to the record

01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:50.840
store and you didn't hear it. You know, I know

01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:52.800
sometimes they'd put a single out on the radio

01:08:52.800 --> 01:08:55.100
if it was like one of the bigger mainstream bands.

01:08:55.260 --> 01:08:57.840
But most of the time we had to wait until it

01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:00.340
was released and then take it home and see what

01:09:00.340 --> 01:09:02.739
we thought of it. Yeah, that's right. Testament

01:09:02.739 --> 01:09:06.979
always released a single before the albums came

01:09:06.979 --> 01:09:10.359
out. I mean, Souls of Black had the title track

01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:14.020
that came out. Probably like two or three months

01:09:14.020 --> 01:09:16.760
before the album came out. What did they play

01:09:16.760 --> 01:09:19.359
it on back then? Headbangers Ball played that.

01:09:19.579 --> 01:09:23.439
Yeah, so I didn't have cable TV anywhere I was

01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:25.239
living at that time. So I guess I was missing

01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:31.920
out. Yeah, so that. Electric Cross got played

01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:35.380
a ton as well before. And also, I do have to

01:09:35.380 --> 01:09:38.460
say that I was lucky in the area where I grew

01:09:38.460 --> 01:09:42.409
up. There was a. a big metal station, which was,

01:09:42.449 --> 01:09:44.529
uh, it's still around. It's a college station

01:09:44.529 --> 01:09:48.590
for, uh, Seton hall universities, WSOU. You can

01:09:48.590 --> 01:09:51.890
listen to it online actually. And it's got a

01:09:51.890 --> 01:09:57.250
whole gamut of, uh, different, um, types of metal.

01:09:57.689 --> 01:10:06.050
So, um, so then it should be awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

01:10:06.130 --> 01:10:09.029
I mean, it, it shouldn't, I was going to ask

01:10:09.029 --> 01:10:11.229
if you had listened to the Megadeth, and obviously

01:10:11.229 --> 01:10:14.930
we just found out that you had dropped. I will

01:10:14.930 --> 01:10:17.130
say, though, even from those three seconds, you

01:10:17.130 --> 01:10:19.289
could tell that that new guitarist, Timo, is

01:10:19.289 --> 01:10:22.989
picking the strings. That guy's amazing. I can't

01:10:22.989 --> 01:10:25.350
wait to hear what he has to offer on this record.

01:10:26.149 --> 01:10:29.289
Dave has said he's the best guitarist he's ever

01:10:29.289 --> 01:10:31.329
had in Megadeth. We've never heard that before.

01:10:31.350 --> 01:10:34.260
He just might be. When I saw that... paid to

01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:36.840
watch that live concert that he played in. I

01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:39.460
was just blown away by how perfectly he played

01:10:39.460 --> 01:10:43.979
every guitarist's solos. Right. You could tell

01:10:43.979 --> 01:10:47.100
that he's a major fan of Megadeth, and he just

01:10:47.100 --> 01:10:49.619
respected the hell out of every guitar player

01:10:49.619 --> 01:10:53.079
that he was covering. I'm really impressed with

01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:58.659
him. See, now that's interesting because listening

01:10:58.659 --> 01:11:03.630
to Zach Wilde talk about how he got the gig in

01:11:03.630 --> 01:11:09.369
Ozzy. Yeah. And mentioning how he went in and

01:11:09.369 --> 01:11:14.069
knew the music because he loved Ozzy and Sabbath.

01:11:14.569 --> 01:11:17.750
And a lot of guys were there that really weren't

01:11:17.750 --> 01:11:19.989
fans and were just looking for the paycheck.

01:11:20.369 --> 01:11:25.630
Yeah. And it's funny because within the last

01:11:25.630 --> 01:11:30.479
week or two, Al Petrelli has come out and said,

01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:33.319
Oh, you know, I auditioned for Ozzy to replace

01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:40.539
Jakey Lee and Al Petrelli has been seasoned studio

01:11:40.539 --> 01:11:43.699
musician who has played with Megadeth, has played

01:11:43.699 --> 01:11:46.859
with Savatage, Trans -Siberian Orchestra and

01:11:46.859 --> 01:11:52.220
so on and so forth. But that's someone who's

01:11:52.220 --> 01:11:54.560
had a million gigs and it seems like, and this

01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.060
is no knock on him, but it just seems like he's,

01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:59.899
been a sessions guy for a long time. So it was

01:11:59.899 --> 01:12:02.680
kind of cool hearing Zach say, no, I really wanted

01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:07.380
this gig. I love, I love that music. I respect

01:12:07.380 --> 01:12:10.659
people that came before me. So it's interesting

01:12:10.659 --> 01:12:14.260
to hear you say that about the new Megadeth guitars.

01:12:16.539 --> 01:12:21.840
So cool. I really enjoyed watching on Hulu. The

01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:26.930
first episode of into the void. Okay. I guess

01:12:26.930 --> 01:12:30.310
it's a several part series, probably on musicians

01:12:30.310 --> 01:12:33.510
that have died. And the first one is one on Randy

01:12:33.510 --> 01:12:36.850
Rhodes. Okay. And they interview Sharon. And

01:12:36.850 --> 01:12:40.850
yeah, man, that's super emotional. I thought

01:12:40.850 --> 01:12:43.949
it was done really well. If you have Hulu, go

01:12:43.949 --> 01:12:47.189
and check that out. Yeah, I have to see if that's

01:12:47.189 --> 01:12:52.369
offered over here. Because, for example, the

01:12:52.369 --> 01:12:56.850
Becoming Led Zeppelin, I think, is Netflix property

01:12:56.850 --> 01:13:02.210
in the States. Okay. And it's something completely

01:13:02.210 --> 01:13:06.229
different here. The licensing is to another streaming

01:13:06.229 --> 01:13:13.630
platform. Okay. So, yeah, next month is going

01:13:13.630 --> 01:13:16.949
to be a busy month as well. What'll be interesting

01:13:16.949 --> 01:13:20.680
to see if any big band surprises us. with any,

01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:24.899
any sort of releases because in November, you

01:13:24.899 --> 01:13:29.260
know, you, you have Metallica and ACDC releasing

01:13:29.260 --> 01:13:31.880
stuff historically, like without any promotion

01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:34.060
or nothing. I'm not saying that that's going

01:13:34.060 --> 01:13:36.300
to happen now because both bands have been touring,

01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:40.539
but I wonder if there's any like larger band

01:13:40.539 --> 01:13:42.699
that's going to release something right before

01:13:42.699 --> 01:13:51.060
the holidays. So we'll see, because Yeah, there's

01:13:51.060 --> 01:13:56.359
plenty coming out in October. November has some

01:13:56.359 --> 01:14:00.039
interesting stuff as well. But once you get to

01:14:00.039 --> 01:14:08.460
like midway through, it really peters off. So,

01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:12.720
but we'll see. We'll be. hanging in there and

01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:14.640
the good thing about having you around ed is

01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:17.159
that usually only death metal bands release stuff

01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:21.760
in december yeah yeah so yes so that's something

01:14:21.760 --> 01:14:26.399
to talk about yeah yeah death metal and lord

01:14:26.399 --> 01:14:31.399
of the lost will be releasing uh a december album

01:14:31.399 --> 01:14:35.439
once again they will be releasing opus no air

01:14:35.439 --> 01:14:38.579
volume two they released volume one earlier this

01:14:38.579 --> 01:14:41.729
year So volume two will be coming out on December

01:14:41.729 --> 01:14:48.310
12th. All right. Excellent. Guys, I want to thank

01:14:48.310 --> 01:14:52.930
you for joining me tonight. I want to thank Edgar

01:14:52.930 --> 01:14:56.130
Winterson for joining us in the chat. I have

01:14:56.130 --> 01:15:00.550
a sneaky suspicion that Dr. Sexay is also Edgar

01:15:00.550 --> 01:15:08.180
Winterson because he says, I'm Winterson. He's

01:15:08.180 --> 01:15:10.180
taking the makeup off and letting us all know.

01:15:14.180 --> 01:15:19.319
So thank you, Edgar. Hopefully you vote on the

01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:25.060
upcoming patron show that will be live at the

01:15:25.060 --> 01:15:28.340
end of this month. Again, just remember, send

01:15:28.340 --> 01:15:32.380

01:15:34.569 --> 01:15:38.329
And send that to SignalsFromMars at SignalsFromMars

01:15:38.329 --> 01:15:43.310

01:15:43.310 --> 01:15:49.710
media platform, send it there. So, yeah, Twitch

01:15:49.710 --> 01:15:57.770
is supposedly the streaming platform that took

01:15:57.770 --> 01:16:02.569
off during the pandemic. and has come crashing

01:16:02.569 --> 01:16:06.930
back down the fastest. So who knows? Who knows

01:16:06.930 --> 01:16:11.109
what was going on tonight? So Halloween number

01:16:11.109 --> 01:16:14.289
one could very well be. We don't know. Whitesnake

01:16:14.289 --> 01:16:16.789
number two. Uh -oh, he's giving us his 10 right

01:16:16.789 --> 01:16:23.310
