Tue, 28 Feb 2023 18:50:42 -0500

For episode 131 we did a discography ranking and discussion of one of our favorite bands - Immortal. There was only one way to do this properly and that was to tap into the grim and frostbitten spirit of Blashyrkh by adorning our faces with the war paint of old and channeling the Northern Chaos Gods. There was an ice storm across the country the day we recorded this and I think this was no coincidence.

2018 Interview with Riley Gale of Power Trip

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 20:29:36 -0400

Like everyone else I am completely blown away and absolutely crushed about the news of Riley from Power Trip. Its not hard to see from everyone's comments and from anyone that knew him that he was not only an amazing front man but he was also a passionate guy that stood for what he believed in no matter what. He always spoke out against the things he felt were unjust with no care as to what his fan base would think. That's a rare quality to find in metal and I think he left a huge void behind in that respect. I wanted to post this interview I did with him back in 2018 while they were on tour with Gatecreeper and Cannibal Corpse as a tribute to Riley, for those that might want to hear it, and really because its pretty special to me at this point. This interview almost didn't happen since Riley fell asleep before the show when we were originally scheduled to talk. He had apologized and said we could do it after there set even though Im pretty sure he didn't realllllly want to do it since he looked exhausted and ready to chill but did it anyway. Im super thankful to have been at that show and to have that memory. Rest in Power man.

98. Derrick Vella of Tomb Mold

Mon, 11 May 2020 11:14:29 -0400

Episode Recorded on April 22

Derrick Vella of Tomb Mold is back and for the first half of the episode we kept it casual and talked about quarantine life, Tomb Mold, his new doom project, what metal we've been listening to including new stuff and a lot of older stuff, joining Outerheaven, favorite hardcore bands/albums, and a whole lot more.

The 2nd half of the podcast is were things get weird and is all about our love for the band The Drive by Truckers. For those unfamiliar, they are basically an alternative country/southern rock type band but really pretty hard to classify. There's no metal to be found here. We realized we are both obsessed with this band a while back and Derrick through out the idea of ranking our top 20 songs from them. I loved it. You probably wont. Thats ok. It just gave us something to break up the quarantine boredom and have some fun with. Even if your not into it there was a lot of interesting side conversations throughout so its worth giving a chance to. For the two of you out there that get all the way through the episode we solute you!

*Sone corrections to the episode: James actually played on 3 Testament albums (we forgot the live album) and was a big contributor to the writing during Death’s Spiritual Healing as you will hear in interview.

Ok guys so we had some technical difficulties on this episode with Jason's mic going out and reverting to his computer mic without knowing. Instead of getting rid of the ep we decided to edit it the best we could and this is the result! Hopefully its not too bad and dont worry we will be back to normal quality next time. Anyway's we talked about a bunch of new music to check out, reviewed the Lamb of God and Behemoth show, and talked about our favorite songs to listen to while drinking, partying, having a good time.. whatever.
