  Speaker 3: Saying inde a friend, HELLI Nathan, thanks for joining us.

  Speaker 2: Really good mate, thank you for having me my pleasure.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: So, as you say, Glorious release your fifth studio album.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Do you appropriately titled the or five? In raven neurology?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: It's Friday, June sixth, So how you feel, I'm so close?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty good.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, the reviews are so far have been great,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and I love the album. I think it's a really
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: really strong album from us. So yeah, I'm looking forward
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to people hearing you.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: No, it's it's is you reunite with original bass player
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and main co writer Colin Parkinson. So what impact did
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that have on the album?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I think anyone that knows us will know when they
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hear this album that he is back for the sound
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of his base, but also the songwriting. He's so crucial
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to the early kind of songwriting in this band and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he's done such a great job.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: He also produced this record as well.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, nice, nice, So did he dive into the album
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a bit deeper from a musical point of view and
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: tell us what you're going for.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: We want to do something a bit heavier, and I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: think this is our fifth album, hence the name. I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: think it's good to constantly be pushing yourselves and also
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: just the subject matter that we had to write about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: now in like a kind of post COVID world, it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just heavier. Everything's a bit heavier, So it made total
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: sense to write riffs and stuff that more in that vein,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and also bringing someone in like Richard on the guitar.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It made sense to have a heavy guitar player play
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this stuff, and I think that's why it sounds a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: bit different maybe to previous albums.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Nice, Well it's your first album back since the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: band went on the hiatus in twenty twenty two, So
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: was that always going to be temporary or did you
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: honestly not know if you're going to come back?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It was always going to be temporary.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I knew I was going to do another album, it
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: just at the time it was it was impossible. It
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was so hard to tour and to do anything like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it was just it was really hard, and I wanted
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to be in a better kind of frame of mind
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: than we were then, Like touring during kind of Covid.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Was just Graze would have been able to push you
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: off completely. Yeah, now this album are so Welcome's new
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: members of the Inglorious family in guitarist Richard Shaw and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: drammer Henry Rogers. Introduced us to them and tell us
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: what they bring to Inglorias.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I've known Henry for quite some time. He's an incredible drummer.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He won Classic Progus Drummer of the Year years ago.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He's just can play absolutely anything, and it's also a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: good friend of mine.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So what I needed from a drummer was someone who
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was like incredibly versatile, but also had the chops to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: play this kind of hard rock metal stuff really well.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Henry definitely does that. And with Richard, we kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: went for a few choices on guitar player and I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: thought of him. He's someone that I've known of for
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: years and he's known for kind of being in very
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: heavy bands. He was in Cradle of Filth, so I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: approached him and said to him, hey, like, I'd love
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you in the band, and I didn't know what he'd
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: say because it's kind of quite different to Cradle, But
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: it turns out he's a he's a very well rounded,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't. He loves this stuff, he loves classic rocks,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: he loves everything. He's a real well versed musician. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he was a great fit as well. And he's also
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: really a nice guy. And it's been fun making this
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: album with these two guys. S Liping so so chill
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and so easy to get on with.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: No, we're going to change the direction of bit here
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: now mate and do an interactive album review of V
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So basically, I'm going to read through Heavy's review one
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: track at a time, and you can tell me if
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I'm on the right track, and then tell us a
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: bit more about the song. Is that all right?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: All right. So I'll start with my intro so and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: then I'll go into the first song. So I first
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: stumbled Acrossing Glorious when they released their third album Right
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to Nowhere in twenty nineteen. I was freshened ao the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: driver's seat at Heavy, and as such was overwhelmed with
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: a constant barrage of new material or from bands I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: didn't even know existed. I remember trying to listen to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: as many as I could to see what I'd been
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: missing out on, and although there were some great music,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: from bands of a wide variety of honres, there was
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: one that stood out above most others, and it was
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: by a rock outfit from the UK, callding Glorious. Now
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure the song I listened to was she
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Won't Let You Go, and I was instantly hooked. Here
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: was a band with all the rock meatingness you can handle,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: delivered by a silky smoothie, authoritative voice and an irresistible
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: swagger that I'm pretty sure led me reaching out of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the label to request an interview with the band. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: quickly digested the back catalog of music and was just
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: as blown away by the older material. So in twenty
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: twenty two, winning Glorious announced to Hiatus. I remember cursing
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the rock gogs and am Gaft for taking another of
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the scenes shining lights away. So imagine my delight and
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: restored faith in humanity. When a press release landed on
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: my desk a month or so ago announcing a new
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Glorious album again, I went against protocol and reached out
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to the band Viya. The label and one small vocalist
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Nathan James, agreed to shoot the shit with me out
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: here in Australia. So the least I could do is
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: listen to the new album V which is due out
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: on June sick and give my thoughts, picking off and testify,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm want to burst of Reburbs soon disciplates as
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: a band fire up, seemingly in chann on making up
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: for lost time. Already there's a sense of verge see
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: present with returning original Bassed player Colin Parkinson joining new
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: family members guitarist Richard Shaw and drummer Henry Rodgers. It
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: doesn't take long for front men Nathan James to step
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: up on the plate. In an instant sense of familiarity
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: rushes through my ears, and the rock world suddenly seems
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: right again. James is one of those voices that most
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: of us are insanely jealousoon his ability to shift between
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: harmonics and soaring high notes, to the kind of rock
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: wrench vocals that can raise the Titanic and not only
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the quarterstone and glorious is sound, but also the benchmark
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: for a sparring rock vocalists in the world over.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: That is very kind. You're welcome, yes, super kind. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it's so cool that people are hearing it. By the way,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You're one of the one of the few people that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I've spoken to that's actually heard the album, so it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: awesome to hear all review.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Testify. Then track one.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Is is that it's the announcement basically of us being
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That's why we chose it as the first song. It's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: kind of got that open verse. The first verse there's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a big rift, then it's just my voice and then
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's big riff, which was all kind of done on
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: purpose to be at the beginning.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Of the album.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And also if you listen, it starts with Colin's bass,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: which is kind of telling the fans that he's right back.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to make it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Like we wanted to make it that people knew that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Colin was back, and you can hear that from the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: first second of this track.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah nice. Now Each of a Live follows and begins
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: with some nice harmonies before Shaw gets his groove on
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and the nice thing is quickly fade into obscurity. This
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: track is dirty and tough as fuck, just the way
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: we like it. The thrilling guitar riff dominates proceedings as
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: James voice rises, falls, bites, and scratches its way to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the four, adding a vocal accompanyment befitting of such a
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: frenetic opening salvo as of chorus kicks in the song
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: falls back a bit, which from past experience, is a
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: feature of Grigorious as music. The band refused to let
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: anyone song fade into mediocrity or become repetitive with subtle
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: changes of vocal urgency and delivery. Acting is a sonic
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: segue between musical harsh and light. I'm not sure if
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: if it is a deliberate tactic for the band or
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: just a natural writing style or whatever it is. It works.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: They don't mess with it. It seems. Sure isn't turned on,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: reaffirming his status as a new Inglorious accident as he
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: launches into a tasty guitar solo that leads into a
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: mini breakdown of sorts that could almost go anywhere before
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: another guitar run sets things back on track and James
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: returns to the fold. Actor is a buffer of sorts
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: for whatever cardiage is simmering beneath.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Very cool, Yeah, Richard, it's the first time that people
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: really get to hear Richard solo on the record, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable solo.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: From the kind of old school Inglorious.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: This is real, not at that kind of early bluesy,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: kind of white snaky stuff that we loved on the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: first and second record. It's definitely got that's that feel
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to it, and in the verse it's kind of free.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's not the logic, it's more bluesy chlity. But yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're picking up on all these these things.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: It's really cool.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: If I can keep it going, So get all inside.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: It's next, And I strangely find myself wondering if Glorious
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: have decided to cover our own in excess, but that
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: thought has immediately tossed aside when Shaw rips into the
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: toughest fuck. That's a run that sets a tone for
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: a dose of potential heaviness. This is definitely attract more
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and from the more hard rock recesses of the Inglorious catalog,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: but despite the heavy undertones, James manages to keep things
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: more in the realm of hard rock than metal, despite
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: sure Rogers and Parkinson doing their best to ignite the
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: medal with a massively heavy undercurrent so far on v
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Inglorious or on Absolute Fire, with each member complimenting the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: musical whims and desires of their bandmates to create an
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: underlying sense of menace that drives the belly of the beast.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, great, So I think what people should like by
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this time the album start to realize is that the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: choruses are so important to us. So writing a big
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: chorus and a melodic chorus in amongst the kind of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: chaos of the meaty riffs and the heavy music is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: still important. And that song in particularly has got harmonies,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? It's got different things
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: going on to it, so it does feel lush in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: those moments, but then it goes into that really heavy,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: naughty riff.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's kind of that's that one. I love
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: We actually that was the second single we released actually
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: from the album.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Cool Say what you want to say, Burst out of
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the Blox with a rapid opening sell where that carries
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: through as James enders a fray with a different vocal
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: approach that almost sounds like he seeing through a megaphone.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Whatever it is, it's a fresh and impactful turn of
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: events that reeks of anger and frustration, even if it
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: does sound a little humorouspeed delivered with a British accident.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: This is a puppy hard rock that is relentless throughout.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I watched with guitar solos and bass runners. It is
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: a powerful and definitive stick strokes from drummer Rogers that
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: is the backbone of this track, acting as job shurry
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: and executioner for the rest of the band as he
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: guides them from one rocky slope to the other without
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: every feeling displaced. Personal favorite so far.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Oh good.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was something that I'd never really done on
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the track before, the kind of almost talking and I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it was actually Collins's idea, I think, because we were
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: trying to write a vocal melody for the verse and
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: nothing felt right. It kind of had to be shouty
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and angry, and as soon as I took all melody
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: from it, it made kind of more sense. So that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: why we kept that. And it has that, yeah, the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: megaphone kind of effect on the vocal.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: We hadn't done.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: We hadn't done before, so I thought it was cool
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to do, to try different things, and then when it
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: does open up again in the chorus, it's a very
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: contrast between the two kind of different sections.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah cool, okay, believe it is listed next and for
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: some reason I get the overwhelming sensation that this could
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: be the token album ballad, and from the subdued acoustic
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: strains that herald the song's arrival, and oh, I'm on
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the right track. But a slow burden from Inglorious is
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: much better than most of the obligatory album album ballads,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and so far this one isn't too bad. And it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a strangely familiar feel that I can't put my finger on.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's a cover or a cover of a cover,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: fuck knows, but I do know. It's a tiny little
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: number full of bankst and pain that James delivers in
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a higher pitched than usual throughout, which only adds to
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the moment of intimacy. As the track progresses and tough
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: ones up. It toughens up in places, but never enough
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: to drain the emotion from its intended focus. It is
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: an up to keep an old anti ballad crusader like
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: myself interested, and I'm glad I listened through to the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: end because there are flashes of vocal brilliants from James
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: that rise above the pain and anguish to instill a
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: strange sense of contentment that I guess is what most
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: ballads thrive for.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you that means not coming from you. It is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the ballad. It isn't a cover of a cover. It
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is pretty obviously all songs now. I'm sure there's things borrowed.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: But Colin actually, when he originally kind of demoed this
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to me, he was like, I've got this idea, but
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it sounds a bit like a Mariah Carey song, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was really confused.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, I can't sing that. And then he
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: played it to me and I was like, actually, this
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: is wicked.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I had a great melody for the chorus, and I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: thought everyone's going to love singing along to it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: It's also kind of the most harmony rich song.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: There's all sorts of different layers over the end, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: it's just a it's kind of a moment of lushness
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: after what have been four kind of incredibly heavy songs.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a good break. It's also the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: end of the first half of the vinyl. The vinyl,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah, that's when it
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: comes there.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Nice now standards the opportunity to get my blood pumping
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: again and doesn't disappoint A nice base run, leading us
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: back into hard rock territory. This is a strange number
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: so far, and although I am enjoying it, I have
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: no idea where it is going to go. I can
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: tell you it's a swirling maelstrom of anarchistic intent with
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: a gentle swagger of group that is accentuated by the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: continuously call us fuck based run from Parkinson that dictates
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: terms throughout one minute. Stand chugs along into almost new
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: metal territory before withdrawing into itself and morphing into something
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: more resembling the Blues Fraternity before rapidly gaining my mentionument
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: returning to hard rocktown. It's sonically confusing as fuck, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: also resistibly captivating in a sense that the whole song
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: almost seems like a ruddless ship sailing through treacherous waters
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: but still strong enough to find a safe passage. Strange analogy,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I know, but it's also a strange song. Awesome, yes,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: but also strange.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely is. It is definitely different for us
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's why I choose its the third single as well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to kind of show people something different.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: It's mega groovy. It's almost like in the.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Middle there's a breakdown that almost has got like a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson quality to it. It's like kind of totally
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: different to anything we've done before. And Colin originally when
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: he played me the ref he said, I don't know
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: if this is right, but like, see what you think,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and I said, I love it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I said, I absolutely love it, and.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I started humming things like as soon as he played
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: me the demo, and from then on, I knew it
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was going to be a I knew it was going
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to be a great tune. And it's currently on a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Planet Rock's playlist here in the UK, so I'm just
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: kind of right about it being radio friendly.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's also a bit hasn't got a solo. It's kind
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: of a.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Bit different in that respect. Again, as you can, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: think people are now realizing we've tried a few different
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: things on this record.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And they've all worked so far too.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, in your Eyes could also be a slow song.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: But if there's one thing I know about Nathan James
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and his banding Glorious, is that they prefer a good
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: party to a SOB story any day. So I'm hoping
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: that rings true here and from the moment, a savage
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: chunk from shaw Fields the landscape. I know my assessment
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: of James is correct. This has more of an old
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: school rock vibe to it, completely with soaring vocals that
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: have become trademarkham and Glorious sound. But James must also
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: subscribe to the Lesson's more ethos because it would be
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: easy for him to show off his vocal prowess and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: range to the point of annoyance. Yet he maintains control
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: of his senses enough to use these tools more for
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: effect rather than saturation. A powerful voice only remains powerful
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: when you used the highlight parts of the song, not
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: obsessively control it. But what do I know? If focus
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: thing like that, I'd probably overuse the hell out of
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: it Too's just because I can.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I have finally learned the art of not overusing it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: It took five albums, but we got there now Albums
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: one and two from us I was. I listened back
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to it and I go, what the hell was I doing? Like,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: it's just so much singing And I've kind of really
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: rained that in on this record because it I don't know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: taste changes like and I feel like back back then,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to show up all my ability and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: now what I want to do is is serve these songs.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And I think something like that In Your Eyes is
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a course song. It's about getting absolutely smashed with your friends,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: so it is a party song. And yeah, I loved
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I loved writing this one. Super melodic as well. Like
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: from Colin again, he's I think it's so cool that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: we can have an album that has something as heavy
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as like Devil Inside and Eat You Alive and also
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: have something that's like this kind of happy and major
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and up poet. I think the kind of balance of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: this is wicked.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: It is all right, Silent could be a slab of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: quiet nothingness and visa in that direction. Initially with a
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: more delicate opening that I'm sure inglorious of throwning just
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to get me on edge, things do steer quickly into
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: more rock territory, but a tasty morsel is all inglorious
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: or offering as Belief continues down a more meaningful path
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: that I guess is warranted to combat the hard rock
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: extremities of a punctuated V. So far, this is a
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: sultry and purposeful track that I'm guessing has a much
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: deeper meaning with James seemingly intend on getting silence from
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: someone or somewhere, judging by the number of times he
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: demands it. It's a strangely comforting song despite my obvious
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: need for something. Media and I shall quietly sit back
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: and non approval of what is actually a damn fine track,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: but keep that between us please.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: It's it is an interesting track, I think lyrically. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: initially struggled because I've kind of wrote the words silent
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: with Colin. Colin said, what about this? And I was like, Yeah,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that's a great idea, and it's actually kind of about that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry, this is really loving. You're not going to like this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: It's about that moment where you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: The world, where you meet someone who's going to change
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: your life, and the whole world stops and there is silence,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and you just are like, if there's only anything else
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but that person, that person has just entered your life,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and it's about it's about that kind of moment.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Basically, End of the Road is almost sat but it's
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: the second last song from the end, so it's possibly
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: meant to be misleading. Fun days. My computer is loading
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: slightly to night for some reason, so I have time
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: on my hands to head of life such things Sorry.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: It kicks in with a rabbit punch to the throat,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: a quick drum smash, and tice to be short of
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the fall before the rhythm section go off in a
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: robust tangent with all roads leading to rock City. James's
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: is into the picture. His voice almost ad should remember
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: its own that guides the song through tarma waters that
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: are frequently drowned out in chital waves of intent. This
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: song runs a gamut of emotions. At Inglorious's disposal, I'm
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: soaring guitar solos to particular state, keeping on drums through
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: a fat as fun bassline that keeps the wheels firmly
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: on the ground. Inglorious to the masters of building a
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: narrative with their music that allows James to interject and
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: sprinkle the mood with vocal increments that ultimately decide the
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: final destination of each song. There's this a sonic journey
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of disparity that is bound together by a common musical
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: thread that is impossible to teach and difficult to perfect.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: So this song and the next song we're actually two songs.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: That Inglorious kind of dem mode years ago that Colin
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: brought to the people and end of the road. We
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: just couldn't write at the time into a good song.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find anything that melody wise that went on it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I then Colin came back with this and with these ideas,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and I was like, ah, that's awesome. So yeah, that's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: this song's actually been around for a long time, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: it kind of has that early and glorious feel to it,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I think, which is kind of nice to put near
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the end of the album, just as a reminder to
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: everyone that we're still here, you know, I mean.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, our power of truth brings us out next
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: on the back of some soft and delicate guitar play
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that is an almost flemento field to it. I have
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: to admit, I have to admit it isn't the closing
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: shot I was hoping Glorious would fire off. With full
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: respect to the band for throwing the curveball into the mix,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: despite every bony my body screaming to say different, I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: actually really enjoying the peaceful nature of the track. Before
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: James and tow throw you get another curveball that smacks
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: me square between the eyes as they turn up the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: heat considerably without warning. It's a powerful segue that only
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: serves to add further depth of the song, which in
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: turn showcases yet another side of Inglorious's musical psyche. The
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: song drifts between subtlety and abrasiveness before trailing off into
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the distance, leaving a sense of unfinished business, and I'm
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: suing Glory is playing a rectify in the nod distance future.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: There as a fitting return to the fold for a
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: band who should be anoided in the top shelf of
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: rock royalty. And if they keep producing albums like this
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: that widely be a matter of when not if.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Very kind so Power of Truth actually is another one
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that Colin originally kind of wrote the music for it
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and presented it to the band for the third album,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and then I flat out with it. I said no
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because I didn't like the fact it was in a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: time signature, it was a bit different. It wasn't four
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to four, wasn't straight ahead like we used to. And
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: then he went away and came back with it kind
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: of presented like this, and my mind was just blown.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I just I thought, yeah, now's the time to do this. Also,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I think Colin at the time wrote he wrote this
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: song about like his frustrations about being in the band,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: So it was really personal for me to sing it's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: now after five years or four years or something, and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to kind of.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: To kind of voice some of his words. It was
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: really powerful.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So it was basically one take in the studio, and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I'm really proud of my vocal on this one particularly.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I gave my I poured my heart and soul into it,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: So hopefully people hear that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Very nice Broan. Have you got any shows coming up
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: to she wants the album?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got shows this week, the release day Friday, Saturday,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Sunday Friday Saturday, then Monday Tuesday, and then we've got
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a festival next month and we're just going to see
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: how it goes and then look at doing some more
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: tail tour days later in the year.
• 23:46

• 23:49

• 23:51

• 24:48
  Speaker 5: met God turnt I'm bad, fell down that about the wall,
• 24:55
