  The The most recent post on our website is a review I was sent
• 7:23
  this incredible gold plated and gold inner workings built vape
• 7:31
  that is like the. Most premium vape tool I've ever
• 7:35
  seen in my life. I got into vaping kind of
• 7:37
  recently. I'm more of a gummies and and
• 7:40
  toque kind of person and and joints and blunts.
• 7:43
  I was never really a bong ripping dude that bad, but I
• 7:48
  really rather enjoy getting this vape from T vape is the brand
• 7:53
  and their Zeus arc GT4 and they also sent this like cooling bong
• 7:58
  that goes with the vape so fun and so cool.
• 8:01
  So I gave a deeper view of that on our site.
• 8:04
  They were like please be as blunt as possible.
• 8:07
  If you don't enjoy this also write that I was.
• 8:09
  Like, you know what respect. So we didn't get paid.
• 8:12
  For the review but we got the free.
• 8:14
  Vape and and I was very. Happy to you know.
• 8:17
  Try it out and review it and we got ripped sofa.
• 8:20
  We were hitting that thing for like an hour, 45 minutes, an
• 8:23
  hour and we were just, well, any plans we had for today are.
• 8:27
  Off. And I think we passed out.
• 8:29
  After a few hours. This is a combination of the
• 8:31
  really. Fantastic machine to vape on and
• 8:36
  as and the combination. Of the weed that we had.
• 8:38
  Holy cow. And I'm a lightweight compared
• 8:41
  to Melissa, so. But, you know, in the 90s, I was
• 8:48
  like the blunt king. My house was the place to come
• 8:50
  smoke up and eat food and watch Star Wars and X-Files on the
• 8:53
  Loop and think the monsters are trying to get us.
• 8:59
  Ron Howells is here. What's up?

  riding up with Parabellum, of course they're opening the show.
• 9:36
  I'm kind of bummed that Overkill is not on that show.
• 9:38
  It's like the one thing I I I love Overkill.
• 9:41
  I saw the Great American Music Hall a couple of years ago with
• 9:43
  my homies. In my band.
• 9:45
  Angst. And just, they're just not,
• 9:48
  that's the like the one day of the whole tour they're not
• 9:51
  playing. They're, they're going back to
• 9:52
  New York, I guess, or the New Jersey, right?
• 9:55
  And thereabouts, but I heard that that we covered that tour
• 9:58
  the very first date in Portland, our own Jim Christensen covered
• 10:02
  it and killed it and he's. Going to be doing a lot more for
• 10:06
  us. Now that he beat the big CEO,
• 10:08
  I'm super. Proud of him.
• 10:11
  There's more important things in life than metal, and metal
• 10:13
  shows. I know that sounds crazy coming
• 10:14
  from me of all people, but you know you.
• 10:20
  Can't. You can't get more life once
• 10:22
  it's gone. For real.
• 10:24
  For real. For real.
• 10:27
  Yeah, we were done So right. Oh, so good.
• 10:32
  Amazeballs. All right.
• 10:35
  And there's our Cash App if you want to.
• 10:37
  Pause and drop us some money I appreciate.
• 10:40
  It. OK, features this week here at
• 10:42
  Ghost Code. Big doings.
• 10:44
  Big doings beside that Vape article.
• 10:47
  I interviewed Brendan Small at Def Clock once again.
• 10:49
  He really likes us. We've done 345 interviews with
• 10:52
  him over the years, over the last five or six years.
• 10:55
  The Amon Clock Conquest tour is coming up soon, Co headlining
• 10:58

  Welcome back. Welcome back.
• 11:06
  Leave me alone is here. Be be.
• 11:08
  Beezus Fulfuon is here. Ray of Glandorff is here.
• 11:14
  Leave me alone. I hope that's a Michael Jackson
• 11:16
  reference. So yeah, interviewed Brendan and
• 11:20
  oh, metal is life. I'm, I'm, I do mean it, bro.
• 11:22
  But I'm just saying like, you know, big adult things
• 11:24
  unfortunately won't wait for you while you're doing metal things.
• 11:28
  But yeah, man, great interview with Brendan.
• 11:30
  Every time we talk to him, we just try to bring it a little
• 11:34
  more with. Him and and just uncover stuff
• 11:36
  and talk about stuff he hasn't talked about in every other
• 11:39
  interview. So really fascinating and
• 11:41
  interesting look inside the 20th anniversary tour for death clock
• 11:45
  and what they're going to do for it.
• 11:48
  Thank you so much for everybody that listen like rubber man man.
• 11:51
  Appreciate you, Axel, Rudy. Pell was interviewed by.
• 11:53
  Our own Don de Lamont. It's a wonky video on that one.
• 11:56
  So it's just kind of a slide show, but if you love the German
• 11:59
  power matter, you can. Enjoy some Axel Rudy Pell new
• 12:02
  album out now on Steam. Hammer Records, I did a live
• 12:07
  stream last night case you were around, where I did a deep dive
• 12:10
  on the career and history of. Neurosis and their brand new
• 12:13
  album and undying love for a Burning World.
• 12:16
  We had given it a. Glowing review on our site.
• 12:19
  There's a lot of neurosis. Content on this show today.
• 12:23
  It's our 2nd 9:50 record this year.
• 12:26
  We get very few 10s honestly comparatively to other sites.
• 12:30
  The butthole surfers hat right? Dude I unboxed this a couple of
• 12:33
  weeks ago and the O in butthole is like a sphincter.
• 12:36
  It's fucking. Rad and.
• 12:37
  People are like see USA. And I'm like, it says butthole
• 12:40
  on it. Fuck you.
• 12:43
  And I really need to do some Butthole Surfers at karaoke,
• 12:46
  but. Yeah, man, I.
• 12:47
  Have to say this is the first record this year that I would
• 12:49
  have gave an absolute perfect score to.
• 12:52
  And you know, again, I can't say enough words about how
• 12:54
  monumental. It is to get this band back.
• 12:56
  From nothing. So you know it's.
• 12:59
  Very rare that like a band that leads the whole genre,
• 13:02
  disappears because of one shitty person and then comes back.
• 13:06
  So we got that with with neurosis.
• 13:08
  I'm so pumped. If you got a.
• 13:10
  Favorite Neurosis album? Drop it in the comments.
• 13:14
  Once again, this show is a podcast.
• 13:15
  We have the Ghost Cult Magazine podcast, these interviews, this
• 13:19
  show, our previews, special exclusive content that's not
• 13:23
  found anywhere else, all on our podcast.
• 13:25
  And you know what? If you're not a podcast person,
• 13:27
  but you happen to be on Spotify and you come across our podcast,
• 13:30
  give us a follow, give us a review, you know, give it a
• 13:34
  listen. You might enjoy it.
• 13:36
  And also because I don't have enough to do.
• 13:37
  I am the coast of the Glacially musical podcast, beer medal and
• 13:40
  swearing. We are on our final episode of
• 13:42
  our epic series on the 1st 4 Megadeth records.
• 13:45
  Rust in Peace is a classic, but maybe we don't all agree.
• 13:49
  That it's a classic. Nick Cameron.
• 13:51
  And so, like, there's moments. You know, he definitely thought
• 13:54
  it was, but there's. Definitely some moments.
• 13:55
  That are like, not for him, but really great, Great cover there
• 13:59
  by Don de Lamont. We're going to start making
• 14:00
  these as shirts if people want to buy them from Don's shirt
• 14:05
  shop. And we're going to have some new
• 14:07
  ghost cult merch soon. I had a big meeting last week
• 14:09
  with. Omar, we talked about the whole
• 14:10
  state of the state of everything.
• 14:12
  And yeah, we have a. Lot of stuff coming, so now it's
• 14:16
  time for the news rundown. I'm going to win big in this for
• 14:18
  a second. Everybody except TikTok is going
• 14:21
  to see the big screen. And so we always start with
• 14:25
  metal festivals. And so let's kick it.
• 14:27
  Obviously, again, Ozfest continues to tease a 2027.
• 14:30
  Return. It's possible it will be 1 to
• 14:33
  two or three dates to start with, just like Warped Tour did.
• 14:37
  It's going to be based on popularity.
• 14:38
  Could it become a touring festival again?
• 14:40
  I don't know. I think it's a fair bet, as
• 14:44
  Sharon said. The first two shows will be in
• 14:45
  Birmingham, followed by US shows.
• 14:48
  Who knows after that, I'm very pumped about it.
• 14:52
  Inferno festival is next week. Holy cow it's already here next
• 14:56
  weekend. Mayhem, Deicide, Enslaved Old
• 14:58
  Man's Child, The Covenant featuring Sarah Jezebel, Deva,

• 18:11
  corner, less than a month away from kicking off the M722026
• 18:17
  dates in Europe and then coming back for the Sphere.
• 18:21
  I know the Sphere thing was a whole debacle, but what are you
• 18:24
  going to do? Have you been listening or
• 18:26
  watching the new Metallica 24/7 live streaming channel on
• 18:30
  YouTube? All Metallica all the time,
• 18:32
  concerts and everything. It's pretty fun.
• 18:34
  And the fan community is amazing.
• 18:36
  You know, say what you want about Metallica, they know how
• 18:38
  to please the fans. Hatebreed has now, you know,
• 18:43
  announced the comeback of Summer Slaughter tour.
• 18:45
  I got to put it down, you know, absolutely for for Jamie, man,
• 18:49
  just like brought back Summer Slaughter, bought Milwaukee
• 18:52
  Metal Fest and brought it back from the grave.
• 18:54
  Amazing job Jamie. Hatebreed.
• 18:57
  With. Rotating headline, you know,
• 18:59
  second headliners Devourment, Incantation also with Snuffed on
• 19:03
  site and a bunch of other bands plus local openers at every
• 19:06
  show. Hopefully it's not pay to play,
• 19:08
  but even then, what a cool experience that is for bands to
• 19:12
  get to do this and they're going to announce more dates because
• 19:14
  they're already going fast. Suffocation has added additional
• 19:19
  North American tours on top of their tour with.
• 19:24
  Cradle Of Filth. So these are some headline dates
• 19:27
  for suffo if. You're in Memphis.
• 19:29
  Charlotte, Springfield, MO, Indianapolis, Millersville, PA,
• 19:33
  Philly or Brooklyn. Fantastic market Hotel used to
• 19:36
  go to shows there. Yeah, this fear bro.
• 19:38
  Like, unbelievable. Just very disappointing.
• 19:41
  Hopefully Tool won't play there till 2020 till 2027 so we can
• 19:45
  save some money and maybe go for tool.
• 19:47
  Gore has been announced on top of.
• 19:49
  All the. Gore Madness and we covered Gore
• 19:50
  last weekend in Albany. They're in the middle of their
• 19:52

• 19:54
  King Parrot Gore will be at Spooky Empire.
• 19:57
  Ghost cult formerly went to spooky empire empire.
• 20:00
  I LED a panel there. Omar LED a panel there.
• 20:04
  We we had an incredible time. War is going to be there at the
• 20:08
  DoubleTree Orlando SeaWorld for the May spooky empire.
• 20:11
  There's also a second spooky Empire in the fall.
• 20:15
  Testament continues the Thrash of the Titans tour with Overkill
• 20:18
  and destruction. Again, we covered that tour.
• 20:20
  First date of the tour. If I'm around May 10th, I'll
• 20:24
  probably come out because I love Testament and you know.
• 20:28
  Destruction and Parabellum will be great again. 7 Dust, Atreyu,
• 20:32
  Fire from the Gods, and American Adrenaline are kicking off their
• 20:36
  tour very soon. We had like.
• 20:38
  A interesting headline this week from 7 Dust from Morgan Rose,
• 20:42
  where he was like, we were dangerously close to packing it
• 20:44
  in as a band. We were openly talking about
• 20:46
  retirement, you know, But now they got energized.
• 20:49
  And they're going to go hard. In the meantime, so hopefully
• 20:53
  they don't step down. Too soon.
• 20:54
  I'm very excited about their new album 1, coming out May 1st from
• 20:58
  Napalm Records. Terror has announced another run
• 21:02
  of dates, this time with Pain of Truth.
• 21:04
  End it and start today. I love a band named for my
• 21:07
  favorite hardcore album of all time.
• 21:09
  This is Still Suffer album is coming out soon on Flat Spot
• 21:14
  Records. So what?
• 21:15
  What a wild thing where a veteran legendary Orange County
• 21:20
  punchy, punchy hardcore band like Terror signs on to a label
• 21:24
  known only mostly for new bands and they're coming in and
• 21:28
  showing the young guys how to do it.
• 21:29
  Fantastic. We'll be talking more about this

  Right before my wedding. No, I won't mosh or get hurt.
• 23:01

  I don't know. Is that show going to
• 23:06

  It's a wine country. Happy birthday Harold Doe of the
• 23:44
  Bay Area, infamously formerly of DRI.
• 23:47
  Legendary photographer. If you've ever seen the
• 23:49
  documentary or book Murder in the Front Row.
• 23:51
  Most of the great thrash metal photos have been shot by two or
• 23:55
  three people. Harold is one of them, Phantom
• 23:58
  Witch and Parabellum. Are playing his.
• 23:59
  Birthday with Hellbender and Night's Gallow and Vinnie's bar
• 24:05
  in Concord. I think that is right by the
• 24:08
  Concorde Pavilion, where I've seen a bunch of shows.
• 24:11
  I don't know if you get down that far King into the East Bay,
• 24:14
  but Concord I. Rata, a band.
• 24:18
  I'm a huge fan of the Stoner psychedelic rock.
• 24:20
  Stoner Doom has announced some spring dates.
• 24:22
  Already played a couple so they have Virginia Beach tomorrow and
• 24:26
  then Greensboro, Winston Salem, Durham.
• 24:29
  Bull City Metal fest Asheville. They aren't.
• 24:32
  They have a new album. I found out about it from this
• 24:34
  poster. New album Human coming on Small
• 24:37
  Stone Records this summer. Very exciting, I love that band.
• 24:42
  Also, Archeron, if you didn't see our post over the weekend,
• 24:46
  has gone on hiatus as a band and they have canceled all their
• 24:49
  2026 concerts tours. As well as festivals.
• 24:52
  So that fucking sucks. I hate to lose a good band.
• 24:56
  Once again, if you're feeling tipsy, drop us a tip in the tip
• 24:59
  menu. We appreciate you.
• 25:02
  Rosa May El Ano is here. I don't Dream About is here.
• 25:06
  Jackson is here. CJ Jukinator is here and just a
• 25:13
  reminder you, I don't have any of my stuff here locally to me,
• 25:17
  like within reaching distance, but fable beard.
• 25:21
  Look at look at me, man. Just look at this incredible
• 25:24
  beard I'm rocking and I my, my face.
• 25:26
  And I actually, at 53 years old, I finally got a skin care
• 25:30
  routine. I, I don't know if my fellow
• 25:32
  metal heads out there have a skin care routine, but I finally
• 25:35
  got one between a couple of different products, skin, body
• 25:39
  health, I'm trying to get it all together for the wedding and
• 25:42
  just in general to live my best life.
• 25:44
  And Fable Beard has been rad. I think our first shipment of
• 25:47
  Fable Beard was about a year ago, or maybe you know, 11
• 25:52
  months ago. Melissa, you would have to chime
• 25:54
  in and tell me, but man, I love their products.
• 25:57
  Great deodorant, all natural, no chemicals, amazing beard bombs
• 26:03
  and butters and oils and. Beard shampoos and look My beard
• 26:07
  is killing it and I'm super stoked.
• 26:10
  I like it to get a little. Longer, but I know it takes
• 26:12
  time. That's what she said also.
• 26:15
  We are part of the Lamb Goat Media Network.

  my meeting for Omar and I got to tell you it's pretty rad.
• 26:47
  I might jump ship. We're paid up for the year with
• 26:49
  stream Yard but I easily could just bail.
• 26:52

  actually move the needle for us, our website.
• 27:35
  Gets plenty of actually surprising amount of traffic.
• 27:39
  I was found, I was told recently.
• 27:40
  OK, continuing. Again, the story of the.
• 27:44
  Week Neurosis new album out now. Vinyl variants coming soon.
• 27:49
  Cassettes and everything Restock their entire merch store.
• 27:53
  You can now feel good about wearing your Neurosis gear
• 27:55
  again. I'm pretty sure I have a
• 27:57
  Neurosis patch on my vest. I never took off, but like, you
• 28:00
  know, I always felt like, you know, conflicted.
• 28:02
  I'm one of those people. Too woke for woke.
• 28:06
  But that's me and I love that like.
• 28:13
  If Neurosis is going to play Fire in the Mountains, Aaron is
• 28:16
  going to be there with Old Man Gloom also so and he just had
• 28:20
  like a banger year with Sumac and the movie, the album, the
• 28:24
  film with more mother. Amazing.
• 28:27
  Damon Borgier. It's been about.
• 28:28
  Time, man. We talked about Tool and Anthrax
• 28:32
  taking their time and delaying their record or not delaying
• 28:35
  their record according to them when they came for us in our
• 28:38
  TikTok comments. But Damon Borgier the Great
• 28:41
  Serpent album is coming soon. Great new video.
• 28:47
  I can't pronounce the song because it's in like Norwegian.
• 28:50
  The whole song is sung in Norwegian instead of English and
• 28:54
  it looks. Ferocious.
• 28:54
  So I'm into it. Bill Shatner.
• 28:59
  Tempton Kirk from Star Trek. We were telling you a couple of
• 29:03
  weeks ago he's coming out with a metal album not to dissimilar
• 29:06
  from. Christopher.
• 29:07
  Lee, He turned 95 this week. Leonard Nimoy would have turned
• 29:12
  95 this week. So the fact that Bill is still
• 29:14
  out there and doing stuff is amazing.
• 29:17
  He posted that picture of him smoking a cigar on his social
• 29:20
  medias and so his his metal. Album is going to.
• 29:24
  Feature Rob Halford on vocals himself Henry Rollins.
• 29:28
  His friend Henry. Henry Rollins and I just talked
• 29:32
  to Carmine a piece and he's on that album too, so it's going to
• 29:36
  be a lot of fun when that finally hits.
• 29:39
  Lindsay Schoolcraft, brand new singer.
• 29:41
  I will wait for you to fall. Great shit, great shit.
• 29:47
  A very new metal. And a little bit.
• 29:49
  Electronica kind of reminded me of pitch shifter and spine.
• 29:52
  Shanks best moments. And great to hear her kind of
• 29:56
  break out of the chamber goth and the, you know, sort of
• 30:01
  gothic core music that she's been doing.
• 30:03
  And she guessed it on a song with.
• 30:05
  Motionless and white. And she was formerly in Cradle
• 30:08
  Of Filth, as you know. So I'm really proud of of
• 30:11
  Lindsay. Great job.
• 30:13
  And much of you know, just respect.
• 30:15
  For. Stepping out of the bounds, I
• 30:16
  love the 90s font and even the. Photo with the fisheye lens is
• 30:21
  like very 90s. Dillinger chaos theory is here.
• 30:25
  What's up? Dillinger chaos Theory.
• 30:27
  How are you? I am getting through.
• 30:31
  This is a heartbreaker. We found out the news that
• 30:34
  Ginger Wild Heart has incurable leukemia.
• 30:37
  He is not going to seek treatment for it and he's not
• 30:40
  going to cancel their upcoming tour.
• 30:43
  Wild Hearts are kind of not. Well known in America but a cult
• 30:47
  following in Europe. Our former senior editor
• 30:51
  emeritus Stephen Tovey is a huge Ginger fan.
• 30:55
  Ginger Wild Hearts fan. Not Ginger the band.
• 30:58
  Or Ginger Fish from Rob Zombie, the drummer.
• 31:01
  But, yeah, just a tough break. And he's going to go until he
• 31:05
  can't go anymore. And he's not going to get
• 31:06
  treatment. So brave.
• 31:09
  Very brave. Speaking of, Alice Cooper gets
• 31:13
  you a woman who will murder you every night on stage for 50
• 31:16
  years. Alice Cooper is celebrating 50
• 31:18
  years of marriage, and he's only been sober 46.
• 31:22
  So tells you everything you need to know.
• 31:25
  But Cooper's great. I saw him last fall.
• 31:27
  With Priest and Coc and they were amazing Finnish band and
• 31:34
  Bury and Dawn is coming out with a new album.
• 31:36
  They dropped a brand new single. It's pretty froggy and great.
• 31:41
  Man. This is 1 I like.
• 31:43
  I don't like piling on people or punching down, but you know,
• 31:46
  everybody who knows me knows that I'm in a massive typo
• 31:49
  negative fan. Anybody out there also a typo
• 31:51
  fan? So this band Carnivore AD has
• 31:55
  been around for a while, maybe 10 years or more.
• 31:58
  I saw them like 10 year. They tried to do a brief tour
• 32:01
  like 10 years ago. Didn't go great.
• 32:03
  They're showing up on festivals, they're showing up on things.
• 32:06
  And they got the former guy from sheer terror who kind of is a
• 32:10
  Peter look and sound alike and has like the Peter tattoos
• 32:14
  exactly like carnivores, the pre Type O Negative band and and
• 32:20
  Peter's hardcore band. And I just don't feel like I'm
• 32:24
  OK with bands. I have no Foreigner, the
• 32:26
  constant running joke on the Glacial Musical podcast.
• 32:29
  Foreigner has no original members that were in Foreigner
• 32:31
  when they made those hits. But I don't feel as weird about
• 32:35
  that as I do about this band that has a guy that kind of is
• 32:38
  trying to be a clone of Peter. I don't like it.
• 32:41
  It just doesn't sit right with me.
• 32:42
  And I don't know if I'm being unfair, if I'm being unfair.
• 32:45
  Somebody out there tell? Me.
• 32:46
  But I think it's corny. That's just me.
• 32:50
  Good luck to you guys with your new EP and a couple of dates in
• 32:54
  Germany. On to some other stuff.
• 32:57
  Heaven. Below is the band led by Nikki
• 33:00
  Stringfield. You possibly.
• 33:01
  Know her from the Iron Maidens and she also filled in for Alice
• 33:04
  Cooper a couple of times. Nikki, I interviewed her about a
• 33:07
  year ago. She's incredible.
• 33:09
  Great solo stuff and heaven. Below has a brand new song, and
• 33:13
  I believe her romantic partner is in that band too.
• 33:15
  Can we talk about Neurosis? Dillinger, you just showed up.
• 33:17
  I've been talking about Neurosis the whole show.
• 33:20
  Did a whole live stream last night, a deep dive review.
• 33:22
  We gave that out, made ten of a 10.
• 33:25
  Most likely going to be my number one album of the year.
• 33:27
  Also come back out of the year, maybe the decade.
• 33:29
  I agree can only be 1, Pete. I agree.
• 33:34
  Yeah, man, I mean, I'm so over the moon happy about Neurosis.
• 33:37
  We covered one of their last shows, which was in 2019 in
• 33:40
  Boston. Shout out to Hillary, Jason and.
• 33:46
  Yeah, I'm just so thrilled that this band is back.
• 33:48
  I wish ISIS could come back, but I think that's unlikely.
• 33:52
  I'm glad they came back for the Caleb show.
• 33:53
  I just couldn't go, Melissa says.
• 33:56
  Pete is the only one. Stop trying.
• 33:59
  Yeah, you're late, dude. It's OK, man.
• 34:01
  Dillinger's like you, King. He's in the Hall of Fame here.
• 34:04
  If there's a ghost cult. Hall of Fame y'all are in it OK
• 34:08
  COC again mentioned that they are booked additional tours.
• 34:13
  Their double album. Good Man, Bad Man comes out next
• 34:17
  week on Nuclear Blast Records. I'm.
• 34:19
  Super hyped for this, I probably will try to do a review.
• 34:22
  Early in the week, Mortis has some tour dates coming up with
• 34:28
  UADA, or UADA if you're a fan of dungeon synth.
• 34:31
  As you know, Mortis is black metal, first wave black metal
• 34:35
  royalty. He grew up around all of those.
• 34:39
  Some terrible folks and he did play bass on some early.
• 34:43
  Classic black metal albums. Unlike the asshole guy that's
• 34:47
  still alive and played bass on some of those early black metal
• 34:50
  albums. I hate that fucking dude.
• 34:52
  All right, I don't how to shuffle.
• 34:54
  Music. I don't think that you do.
• 34:57
  Let's do the new music Friday I was.
• 34:59
  Debating with Omar on our call. About how to do.
• 35:01
  This he would like me. He wants me to.
• 35:04
  Play the new music Friday like video cue.
• 35:10
  During the show and I don't know if.
• 35:12
  That's a great experience. For all of y'all, but I might
• 35:14
  eventually go. To it, I don't love it.
• 35:16
  But I might do it. I don't know yet.
• 35:19
  Tell me. Tell me if you're getting a lot
• 35:21
  at it. I think I'm doing this kind of
• 35:23
  like a color commentary where I. Read off the list of.
• 35:25
  Songs I don't read the. Entire list but I read.
• 35:27
  Most of the essential things and I give a little bit of.
• 35:31
  Feedback and commentary you. Don't get from our website or
• 35:34
  you don't get in that. Video.
• 35:36
  You're seeing Emperor in Toronto dude.
• 35:38
  So jealous. I saw Emperor last summer.
• 35:40
  I was so fucking stoked. I love them so much.
• 35:45
  And ISON. I feel very lucky to get to have
• 35:47
  gotten to interview him a couple of times.
• 35:49
  Really cool, So cool. So what I do last week I was
• 35:54
  like, let's pull up A and let's pull up a record that is
• 36:00
  probably unheralded. But I like the name Barbaric or
• 36:05

  Party Cannon. Yeah, I know, I know.

  Samurai Pizza Cats, though, you have my interest.

  So Lamb of God, you know, we just a tremendous honor to have
• 42:03
  into oblivion just. Come out and and Lamb of God.
• 42:06
  Love our review? So much that they shared it and
• 42:08
  tagged all their, all the reviewers basically and all
• 42:12
  their socials. It was really an honor.
• 42:14
  There was some very. Rare air there that we're not
• 42:16
  normally used to being mentioned with.
• 42:19
  And you had the beard for real man.
• 42:22
  And check out Fable beard. So Lamb of God had an issue.
• 42:26
  They sold out of some of their pre-orders, especially there was
• 42:29
  a very in demand neon green glow in the dark fluorescent album
• 42:34
  Sudden Lamb. I got a sudden.
• 42:35
  You like that, right? And so I was one of the people
• 42:40
  who did not get the variant I wanted.
• 42:42
  So but what they did is what I think is very cool.
• 42:44
  Tell me what you would do if you if you buy an album.
• 42:47
  Or a cassette or ACD. And you don't get the thing you.
• 42:50
  Expected to get, How would you feel?
• 42:52
  So they sent. It along with this letter, so
• 42:55
  I'm going to talk about. This for a second.
• 42:56
  So here's the record, right? And I had wanted the neon green
• 43:01
  and, and there's like a glows in the dark and the artwork kind of
• 43:04
  is black light and glows in the dark.
• 43:07
  And so they sent it out and it comes with, you know, this.
• 43:12
  Lyric booklet and and all of. Randy's ramblings and stuff.
• 43:17
  But they sent. The record, and it's this record
• 43:19
  which is the like cloudy Gray, which is kind of, you know, it's
• 43:24
  dope looking, right? It's like looks like almost like
• 43:26
  a pewter, unpolished pewter kind of look, right.
• 43:32
  Very cool. But you know not what I ordered.
• 43:34
  So they sent a letter. To all the.
• 43:36
  Fans on Lamb of God letterhead and the letter reads.
• 43:41
  Thanks for being a long standing Lamb of God fan and for
• 43:43
  supporting us with this new record.
• 43:45
  By the way, I was in the. Congregation Lamb God Lamb of
• 43:47
  God fan club before I was ever a journalist, which is wild.
• 43:53
  What's up dude? Salute you from South Florida.
• 43:55
  Thank you. I can't quite make out what your
• 43:59
  name is. But like, super cool.
• 44:01
  I really. Appreciate the love.
• 44:02
  Thank you, man. Check us out.
• 44:03
  Follow us. I'll follow you back after the
• 44:05
  stream is over. Apologize for this special
• 44:08
  surprise, but we wanted to make sure you had the record in time
• 44:11
  for release day. Unfortunately, it was an issue
• 44:13
  with inventory and we were. Unable to ship you the green LP,
• 44:16
  in the interest of getting you the album on release day, we
• 44:19
  have replaced it with a limited edition Poltergeist Color
• 44:22
  version. That is not also what I have,
• 44:24
  but I knew what it. Was because there was a label of
• 44:26
  I have a hype sticker and it says like, you know, cloudy day
• 44:29
  Gray or something. That's fine.
• 44:32
  If you do not want this colorway, please do not open the
• 44:35
  LP. I opened it.
• 44:36
  I'm keeping it and simply send us an e-mail.
• 44:38
  We will provide you a shipping label and then issue a full
• 44:41
  refund. So not an exchange, but like
• 44:43
  we'll refund you if you're mad about it.
• 44:46
  You can still. Oh, so they also sent an
• 44:48
  autograph Lamb of God insert as a apology.
• 44:53
  So that's the album cover insert autographed by the whole band
• 44:56
  kind of fresh. I would put this up on in a
• 44:58
  frame or something because I have some cool things.
• 45:00
  Hey Alan, thanks. Thanks yourself.
• 45:03
  So what would you do if you ordered something?
• 45:05
  Would you ask for the refund? Would you keep the 1:00 you got?
• 45:07
  I decided to keep the one because like what am I going to
• 45:09
  do? Send it back for a refund and
• 45:11
  still not have the record? No, I'll just keep the record.
• 45:13
  Like if I if somebody down the road pops up with it somewhere
• 45:17
  and I can get it, I will. So they.
• 45:20
  Sent that then. Because we got some DAP up from
• 45:24
  Lamb of God, we. Got sent the CD version of the
• 45:29
  Lamb of God. Zine.
• 45:31
  So this is ACA? Zine.
• 45:33
  Personally designed by Randy King says he'd keep it so I have
• 45:39
  the CD. And it comes with this Zine
• 45:41
  personally written and created these lyrics journal and
• 45:45
  handwritten by Randy. So just take a quick look
• 45:48
  through this with me like photos from the studio, his handwritten
• 45:52
  lyrics for every song, studio outtake photos and you know
• 45:56
  Randy is quite. The photographer there are quite
• 45:58
  a lot. Of pictures of Randy.
• 45:59
  So someone was taking these photos.
• 46:01
  But Randy is also an, you know, semi professional photographer.
• 46:04
  He prefers nature now, but he was doing concert photography
• 46:07
  for quite a while, kind of a while to go do like a concert
• 46:10
  photo with a $15,000 like a camera that could get broken in
• 46:13
  the pit if you fall down. But you know, this is dope man.
• 46:17
  I was a big Zen person growing up.
• 46:19
  Ghost Cult started as a digital Zen in the spirit of Zenes, and
• 46:23
  here's the. CD with the CD.
• 46:24
  You know, very similar to the album art.
• 46:26
  Just hold it up and show it to you.
• 46:27
  Dude, I'll be bringing this with me, Melissa.
• 46:32
  You got to find that portable CD player somewhere.
• 46:34
  But anyway, yeah, Lamb of God, thank you for this.
• 46:36
  Thank you Epic Records. Thank you to the band for
• 46:38
  sharing. Our.
• 46:38
  Review You know what a what a haul that is to get in 2 male
• 46:43
  days in a row. And yeah, rubber band man says I
• 46:47
  would take it and feel content keeping it.
• 46:49
  Yeah, man, me too. You know, I wanted the green.
• 46:52
  I always love the fun swirly things.
• 46:54
  You know, Don and Nick are more. You know Don has all his classic
• 46:59
  vinyl if you listen to the Glacial Musical podcast and
• 47:02
  Nick. Is very much about the right
• 47:03
  pressing cut by a certain thing. Japanese pressing sound better.
• 47:06
  Cool, cool, cool. I just want a brand new thing
• 47:10
  that plays well that's not scratched.
• 47:11
  I just want something cool looking.
• 47:13
  I don't do. Zoetropes, I don't really like
• 47:15
  picture discs and I don't think liquid filled anything is
• 47:19
  definitely going to like hurt the sound, not help.
• 47:21
  It so. It's cool, the novelty is cool,
• 47:23
  and they're just. Trying to get.
• 47:25
  The people who are casual. Vinyl nerds excited and I like
• 47:27
  that, but at the same time for my vinyl collection.
• 47:30
  It's more important. For me to just have the record.
• 47:32
  I didn't get the one I wanted. What?
• 47:34
  Are you going to do cry about it?
• 47:36
  Boo Boo. Anyway, that's my Lamb of God.
• 47:39
  Hall once again just honored that Lamb of God.
• 47:43
  Gave us the shout out, it was really huge.
• 47:45
  And and felt real good. And that was a week after
• 47:47
  Maynard shared our Puscifer with you.
• 47:49
  Which was amazing. Picture This was cool but.
• 47:53
  They don't sound good and zoetrope like it doesn't do
• 47:56
  anything for me. I know people getting very horny
• 47:58
  for those, but not I. Anyway, that's our show in a
