  None. What's up everybody?
• 0:48
  How you doing today? It's Kifi Go scopeman.com weekly
• 0:52
  ritual, our rocky metal news show all over the web.
• 0:54
  I'm going to rock'n'roll and do the show Thursday evening,
• 0:58
  almost the weekend. Thanks to everybody for being
• 1:01
  here. Thanks to our everydayers.
• 1:04
  I am keenly aware that you can spend your time anywhere, but if
• 1:08
  you're watching this, you're spending it with me, and I
• 1:10
  greatly appreciate you. We're going to get through this
• 1:14
  quickly as possible today, let some out of town stuff going on
• 1:20
  Caustic Milan is here. What up what up as usual, the
• 1:24
  best experience for this show is YouTube.
• 1:28
  Feel free to subscribe to our channel.
• 1:30
  Drop us a super thanks or a super like or something or
• 1:33
  other. You can also watch this on
• 1:36
  Facebook. You can watch this on Instagram.
• 1:37
  You can watch it on twitch. We're also hanging out on
• 1:40
  TikTok, but you don't get the same experience as we have on
• 1:43
  YouTube. Sorry about that.
• 1:44
  We'll do better as Lee Stream Yard eventually connects with
• 1:51
  TikTok in a meaningful way. Everything is on fire, but we're
• 1:56
  still here talking about the rock in the middle.
• 1:58
  So I appreciate everybody for being here.
• 2:00
  I feel like a little, my lights are a little dimmer than usual
• 2:04
  today. I'm not sure why, but anywho,
• 2:07
  let's get on with the show. One of these is the right angle.
• 2:13
  Hey, how's that look? Look cool.
• 2:15
  Can't tell. I always think about art class
• 2:23
  and the rule of threes. So I think this is with the
• 2:28
  visual aid right next to me here.
• 2:30
  Hopefully that keeps it up for you.
• 2:32
  But yeah, I hope. How's everybody doing out there?
• 2:35
  How's everybody's week been so far?
• 2:38
  What's on your mind? I hope everybody's OK.
• 2:42
  I'm hanging in there. Judge Paradox is here.
• 2:46
  So yeah, good to see you all. Let's get on with the show.
• 2:49
  As always, we start with the announcements.
• 2:52
  Once again, you are ghostcoldman.com.
• 2:53
  Case is your first time watching this, which it might be.
• 2:57
  We are your 24/7 365 rock and metal news resource.
• 3:01
  We interview bands all over the world.
• 3:04
  Those are usually on our YouTube with little clips everywhere
• 3:06
  else on our socials. We cover metal festivals and
• 3:08
  rock concerts all the time all over the world and try to keep
• 3:13
  up with the news as well. Monkeys here, Volbeat rockers,
• 3:18
  Mac, what's up? What's up?
• 3:19
  Thank you judge for following. We will follow you back.
• 3:22
  Appreciate you. Eli is here.
• 3:23
  Rick is here with 3-4 freaking exclamation points.
• 3:28
  Broccoli bracco. Good to see everybody got some
• 3:32
  people hanging out on the tube of you have some people over on
• 3:35
  TikTok. And Graham, thank you so much
• 3:38
  for tuning in. So on with the announcements.
• 3:41
  Again, if you want to tip us, we appreciate you.
• 3:44
  We've already got some commenters here.
• 3:46
  I will hide the banners and bust in the comments.
• 3:48
  Who's here? Gabe is here.
• 3:51
  Gabe is here. The best.
• 3:52
  Oh, Gabe, you're the best. Thanks so much, pal.
• 3:54
  Liquid immortality, liquid death.
• 3:57
  That's right. I'm drinking a liquid death
• 3:59
  until I can't get these tall boys with the agave nectar any
• 4:02
  longer. And when that happens, I'll just
• 4:04
  stick to the plane. But I'm trying to hydrate more.
• 4:07
  I'm trying to hydrate more. So once again, here's our live
• 4:11
  stream menu. We will continue to answer your
• 4:13
  questions for free. If you want to give us some
• 4:15
  general support, you can tip us $3.
• 4:18
  If you want to buy us a coffee on coffee or something else, you
• 4:21
  can give us $6. We'll rate your song.
• 4:24
  We don't pay. We don't charge for reviews or
• 4:27
  interviews, but we will happily rate your song if you want to
• 4:30
  share that. Usually YouTube works the best
• 4:32
  for that. And of course, we, you know, we
• 4:38
  do music business consulting. I did a consulting call earlier
• 4:40
  today. It was really cool.
• 4:42
  I met with a very cool industry person to talk about their
• 4:45
  marketing plans and perhaps we will work together.
• 4:49
  We have some other stuff in the works that's really exciting.
• 4:51
  Can't talk about just yet. Hey, Oh, that's right, man.
• 4:55
  My favorite, my favorite Pink Floyd album.
• 4:58
  Pink Floyd is as much as my metal head as I'm well known to
• 5:01
  be. Pink Floyd is my favorite band
• 5:02
  ever and wish you were here as my favorite Pink Floyd record.
• 5:05
  The Machine, shaking hands, I love this thing.
• 5:09
  Thank you so much for checking that out, Gabe.
• 5:11
  I know you're also a big fan. Nova Fee now is here.
• 5:14
  Angelo's here. Chatterbox is here.
• 5:17
  I will put the pricing menu in the description for everybody
• 5:22
  else that is not on TikTok. And again, here's the links
• 5:26
  where you can give us a payment. We appreciate anything to keep
• 5:31
  the lights on here. We are not corporate backer
• 5:34
  sponsored. We've been doing this out of a
• 5:36
  labor of love. We do make some money, which
• 5:38
  you'll hear about in a little while.
• 5:39
  But beyond that, it's all blood, sweat and tears, baby.
• 5:43
  Because we love music and we love people that make music.
• 5:50
  All right, moving right along. Here's our Cash App in case you
• 5:54
  want to pause on the screen and zoom in on it with your phone.
• 5:59
  Alex is here. Alex moving along.
• 6:05
  Celebrating a birthday this week was Chino Moreno.
• 6:08
  You know his work from Deftones, but also his group crosses the
• 6:11
  Super group Palms. He's been remixing stuff for the
• 6:15
  Cure lately. Chino is the man.
• 6:19
  It was probably a few birthdays this week that we missed, but we
• 6:22
  try to get them in every couple of days when possible.
• 6:24
  Rocker dad, 5150's back. Good to see you, friend.
• 6:27
  Russell Rant is here. What up?
• 6:29
  What up? Thanks so much for tuning into
• 6:31
  the show. Going to really big show.
• 6:34
  Somebody's watching on Twitch. Feel free to subscribe.
• 6:36
  We will subscribe back. Bean is here.
• 6:39
  Thanks, Rocker Dad for all those hearts.
• 6:41
  Appreciate you. It's good to see you again.
• 6:44
  We had a feature this week on the website.
• 6:47
  I just want to highlight this at the top of the show case.
• 6:49
  I lose some of you. My partner and co-owner of Ghost
• 6:53
  cultman.com, Omar Corey wrote this big feature of the top 20
• 6:59
  most metal movies and games and shows of all time.
• 7:04
  So obviously you got to have Wayne's World, Beavis and Butt
• 7:06
  Head, Airheads, Lords of Chaos, Metalocalypse, Death Clock,
• 7:12
  there's so many. You might learn some stuff you
• 7:15
  had never heard before. You might see some of your old
• 7:17
  favorites, but check them out, explore the story.
• 7:20
  It's a big feature. It's going to take a little bit
• 7:22
  to read, but I think it's a lot of fun and there's some cool
• 7:25
  videos and other links to other cool things in the post.
• 7:29
  So check that out on our site. Also, we did yet another
• 7:34
  premiere. We teamed up once again with
• 7:37
  Bray Rd. We brought you one of their new
• 7:39
  songs and new music videos at the end of last year and now
• 7:43
  they've shared a brand new one. Crossover thrash killer band.
• 7:47
  We are big fans. You definitely want to check out
• 7:50
  their lyric video and song on our site.
• 7:54
  And then some sad news, Mick Ralph's died this week from Bad
• 7:58
  Company and Mock the Hobo. Obviously not a metal band, but
• 8:03
  rock royalty, right? Bad Company just got inducted
• 8:06
  into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• 8:07
  This is actually from their very last show ever, nine years ago,
• 8:12
  almost exactly. They played an arena in the UK
• 8:16
  was their farewell show. Nick was 71.
• 8:19
  And then a few days later he suffered A debilitating stroke
• 8:22
  that kept him bedridden until he passed away this week.
• 8:25
  Horrible, horrible news. Very sad that he didn't get to
• 8:29
  live to see the band get inducted into the Hall, but at
• 8:32
  least he was made aware that they got in and, you know,
• 8:37
  super, super sad. We're losing everybody. 81 is
• 8:41
  certainly a full life and he lived harder and and better than
• 8:45
  most, but still our oldest elder statesman rockers are leading
• 8:49
  us, which is, you know, very sad.
• 8:53
  It makes me sad. Thank you so much again, Gabe.
• 8:55
  I really appreciate that. So moving on.
• 9:03
  Also just a reminder again, a huge fan of my I'm a huge fan of
• 9:08
  and, and ghost cults. A friend to Amigo the devil,
• 9:11
  Danny Carano's Don't know if you know him, murder folk, dark
• 9:14
  folk, Americana artist, songs about serial murder and killing
• 9:18
  your wife and stuff like that. And he had a house fire and lost
• 9:21
  everything he owned, including instruments, unpublished songs,
• 9:25
  handwritten lyrics, art and things he collected his whole
• 9:28
  life. And they've raised a lot of
• 9:30
  money to replace his things. But money is not going to
• 9:33
  replace his things. So if you can, check out the Go
• 9:37
  Fund Me and throw him a couple of bucks or follow him on social
• 9:40
  media, share his music, buy something from him on Amp Wall
• 9:45
  Band Camp, his own store, some of his bands on his record
• 9:48
  label, Dead Alive Metal. What's up?
• 9:52
  We are losing legends. But luckily Danny escaped OK
• 9:56
  with his partner and these are pictures of the house fire.
• 9:59
  Danny's house. Really sad.
• 10:03
  Also also because sometimes things are sad and sometimes
• 10:05
  they make us happy. We are trying to get support for
• 10:09
  our favorite 4 legged friend in San Francisco, Django.
• 10:12
  Django is the most metal dog in San Francisco.
• 10:15
  Here's a picture of Django with Necro Butcher of Mayhem.
• 10:18
  They were on their way to kill Uranimus.
• 10:20
  Should have killed Varg instead. And there's a Change.org
• 10:23
  petition to get Django Django sainthood.
• 10:26
  Feel free to sign up for that. And there it is.
• 10:29
  Look at him. Look at how adorable he is.
• 10:31
  He's great. I'm going to be doing some pet
• 10:33
  sitting this weekend for one of my favorite cats, Jax.
• 10:36
  Super stoked. He might be watching.
• 10:40
  He's my favorite cat. Please don't kill me in my
• 10:43
  sleep. More features this week.
• 10:47
  We just ran this really great Q&A with this underground
• 10:50
  Norwegian artist. MO is probably not pronounced
• 10:53
  MO. It's probably like differently
• 10:56
  pronounced, but MO is this avant-garde sludge metal
• 11:02
  basically, for a lack of a better vernacular, but played
• 11:05
  with like string sex a string instruments, but heavy, heavy,
• 11:08
  heavy and our own rocker schedule.
• 11:11
  Seth, hopefully I said that correctly, interviewed them over
• 11:15
  e-mail, met them at a show in Tokyo and then was so captivated
• 11:19
  with them that they wanted to check them out further.
• 11:22
  So check out that. That's on the site last night as
• 11:25
  of today. Also, we had interviews this
• 11:27
  week on YouTube with Harry Armstrong.
• 11:30
  You know him best from his work is the bassist of Orange Goblin,
• 11:33
  but he also has a side band that's kind of Stoner doom
• 11:37
  called Noise Picker. You know, that Orange Goblin is
• 11:40
  calling it a day at the end of the year.
• 11:41
  They just they just finished doing download and how fast and
• 11:47
  they're on to more four days this summer.
• 11:50
  But that band is ending at the end of the year.
• 11:52
  So check out my interview with Harry Rocker.
• 11:55
  Dad asks. Are we going to watch the Aussie
• 11:56
  live stream? We are don't know yet if we can
• 11:59
  stream, watching the stream, but there will definitely be a lot
• 12:04
  of content around that, that Aussie performance.
• 12:10
  Gabe asks. I mean, you know, only Gabe, you
• 12:15
  know, like first of all, Gabe, you've been interviewed by us.
• 12:17
  We're going to review your next album if you want to just in in
• 12:21
  the in the light of an audience. And I'm happy to do that too.
• 12:24
  But you know, it's more for the masses of people.
• 12:28
  We get pitched constantly by people in all our DMS and
• 12:32
  inboxes with people asking to submit music.
• 12:35
  And the reality is we just don't have the time to get to
• 12:39
  everything. We don't even really have enough
• 12:40
  time to do all the other bands that are on major labels, NPR,
• 12:45
  like there's just not enough hours.
• 12:46
  And we review more albums than most other websites.
• 12:49
  By the way, we have reviewed about 1100 albums the last two
• 12:53
  years and that, and that's just the last two years.
• 12:56
  So sure, Gabe, yes. But like, you don't need to
• 13:00
  donate any money to us, even though I know you have and you
• 13:03
  know, we're in. We're friends.
• 13:05
  So I always talk to you, support you.
• 13:08
  Oops, open my notes. Also this week we ran our new
• 13:13
  interview. This is Larcenia Rowe, a very
• 13:16
  recent and new technical death metal band, and had a great
• 13:20
  interview with their guitar player and sort of master, Ryan
• 13:27
  Vale. And so if you love brutal
• 13:29
  technical death metal, Larcenia Rowe, it's a new album out now
• 13:33
  on Unique Leader Records that you want to check out.
• 13:36
  Rocker Dad 5150 asks what have I heard about a new Pantera album?
• 13:40
  I don't know that there will be a new Pantera album.
• 13:43
  I know they have talked about it.
• 13:44
  It's been discussed. I would prefer them not to make
• 13:48
  a new album called Pantera with the group.
• 13:51
  As it is, I am OK with a live album and I really what I really
• 13:56
  want. Especially now that you know
• 14:00
  Rita basically has controlling stake in the band because she
• 14:04
  had Vinnie and Dimes the states basically under her power.
• 14:09
  I want to get at like a full classic Pantera concert, like
• 14:14
  one O 1 Proof, the DVD and Blu-ray.
• 14:17
  That's what I want. And streaming.
• 14:19
  I think that's the thing we're missing.
• 14:21
  I love the Pantera home videos and I really want a full on
• 14:28
  Pantera home concert. I don't mind the live album with
• 14:33
  the current lineup. Personally, I don't think I want
• 14:39
  a Pantera record without the brothers, but that's just me. 3,
• 14:43
  That's right, the magic number is 3.
• 14:45
  I miss those guys. And I have no problem with
• 14:47
  Philip and Rex being Pantera. I know was very upsetting to
• 14:51
  people. Stop calling it Pantera.
• 14:53
  The tribute to Pantera, whatever it is.
• 14:56
  It's Philip and Rex's band too. I don't know if they ever would
• 14:59
  have passed things up with Vinny Paul, whose anniversary of his
• 15:02
  death just passed last week. But yeah, man, like they're
• 15:07
  doing justice out there. I saw that for I saw a Metallica
• 15:10
  with Pantera, Metallica twice and I saw Pantera headline this
• 15:14
  version of Pantera and they were fantastic and I got everything I
• 15:17
  wanted out of it. Charlie sounds exactly like
• 15:22
  Vinny Paul on the drums. They triggered the drums exactly
• 15:25
  like Vinny. And you know, Zach said that out
• 15:28
  of respect, he wasn't going to try to do a one for one note for
• 15:34
  note recreation of Daryl's work, even though of course he can, he
• 15:38
  chooses not to. He's also Zach Wylde and and
• 15:41
  Daryl was his friend. So, you know, I'm sure it's very
• 15:44
  difficult. And Charlie was was Daryl's best
• 15:47
  friend. So, you know, I couldn't think
• 15:49
  of a better group of people to be doing this.
• 15:51
  I don't necessarily want a new record with Pantera on it.
• 15:55
  I will have mixed feelings but we'll see.
• 15:59
  So check out our interview with Larcenia Rowe.
• 16:01
  Also just a reminder, Speaking of good topic, good segue,
• 16:05
  Rocker dad nice for it is a weird situation.
• 16:08
  We recently did a live stream. I'm hoping to do some more live
• 16:12
  streams weekly but it's been tough to make time.
• 16:14
  But I did one about a week and a half ago on the worst deaths
• 16:18
  ever in rock and metal. And as you can see from the
• 16:20
  thumbnail, Daryl was my personal beside Lemmy and Bowie and a few
• 16:23
  others and Cornell and Lane. But yeah, man, it's a tough one.
• 16:29
  Drop a comment and let us know who your worst death in
• 16:33
  rock'n'roll and metal was. I also included a few other
• 16:35
  artists that meant a lot to me, like Prince and George Michael.
• 16:38
  But you know, go back and watch that when you're done watching
• 16:42
  our show. That's some other high quality
• 16:43
  content on the channel, and we have a lot of stuff coming up
• 16:47
  soon. Tons of interviews going on
• 16:50
  soon. Also just a reminder, we have a
• 16:52
  podcast. This show will be a podcast
• 16:55
  wherever you listen to podcasts it goes called magazine podcast.
• 16:58
  And also I'm also the Co host of the glacially musical podcast.
• 17:04
  Beer, metal swearing, sometimes hockey, sometimes Kevin Smith
• 17:07
  movies. We are in the midst of a not
• 17:10
  metal series. We're doing the Beastie Boys 1st
• 17:13
  6 records. We just did Paul's Boutique,
• 17:16
  it's out today. You can check it out.
• 17:18
  The YouTube will be on the channel at midnight on Glacial
• 17:21
  Musicals channel. That's Nick Cameron who's the
• 17:25
  host and me and Don de Lamont who are the two Co hosts and
• 17:28
  this is a lot of fun. We all love Beastie Boys are
• 17:31
  kind of that crossover band that rock and metal and punk head
• 17:34
  people all agree on and like in hip hop.
• 17:38
  Mozart for real. That's a good one, bro.
• 17:42
  I feel like Beethoven had a very tragic life because to me,
• 17:45
  Beethoven, he lost his fucking hearing.
• 17:48
  So not only couldn't he hear the stuff he composed, it kind of
• 17:53
  drove him mad. Which of course you know what
• 17:55
  happened I have kind of a little bit of hearing loss for.
• 17:57
  I played in bands for many years playing bass, slap at the
• 18:00
  basement, slap at the basement, slap at the bass and sit next to
• 18:04
  the drummer and getting like a China or a hi hat in my ear for
• 18:08
  years. No hearing protection like a
• 18:11
  Jackass for years. Stormland is here.
• 18:15
  What up son? I'm enjoying this run but GMP is
• 18:19
  weekly required listening. Thank you so much.
• 18:21
  I appreciate that very kind comment Stormland.
• 18:23
  Good to see you bro. Your workout pictures you are
• 18:26
  looking extremely spelt and swole.
• 18:29
  You're an inspiration, and I'm looking forward to new music
• 18:32
  from you and from Auntie Moz Beast in the chat here.
• 18:36
  Thanks so much. I appreciate that we are getting
• 18:37
  back to metal after the Beastie Boys run, I promise.
• 18:41
  And we're going to keep it metal for the rest of the year,
• 18:43
  probably also. That was all the features and
• 18:48
  the announcements and then the minutiae.
• 18:50
  And I appreciate you watching all that.
• 18:54
  And yeah, man, your progress has been stunning.
• 18:57
  You're a very handsome man there, Justin.
• 18:59
  Handsome. Anywho, moving right along, we
• 19:07
  always start the news rundown with metal festivals and we've
• 19:11
  got a bunch to talk about. We are just a week away from
• 19:16
  this Black Sabbath, whatever it's going to be.
• 19:21
  Oh no mass run. That would be sick.
• 19:24
  I'd love to do candle mask. I know that Don likes some
• 19:27
  candle mask. You know, Nick loves a lot of
• 19:31
  Stoner doom, but I think he's more of a death metal and thrash
• 19:34
  metal person than doom. I think it probably, I don't
• 19:37
  know, we'd have to talk about it.
• 19:39
  I definitely want to do candle mask.
• 19:40
  I definitely want to do sleep or High On Fire or sleep and High
• 19:44
  On Fire. I'm not sure.
• 19:47
  So this back to the beginning. I'm going to blow this up and
• 19:49
  take myself off the screen for a minute.
• 19:51
  But this, this thing is in a week and it's going to, you
• 19:55
  know, 10 days and it's going to be crazy.
• 19:58
  We did get the first picture from the rehearsal.
• 20:02
  We'll talk about that in a minute.
• 20:03
  We do know that Wolfgang Van Halen has dropped out.
• 20:06
  Here's Wolfie. He has been heavily promoting
• 20:09
  his upcoming tour with Miles Kennedy.
• 20:15
  And, you know, he has a new album out to promote.
• 20:19
  And I don't know if. Wolfie is the person that Sharon
• 20:23
  kicked off the show, but Wolfie is posted through social media.
• 20:27
  He is not part of the show anymore.
• 20:28
  I think it's pretty interesting. I don't know who has been kicked
• 20:32
  on Isaac and TX is here. What up I kill you passing by
• 20:35
  what up what up? I don't know.
• 20:38
  I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening
• 20:40
  with this. But Wolfie is off the show
• 20:41
  officially and I will be doing. I will be watching the live
• 20:45
  stream on the 5th and hopefully doing some content around that.
• 20:51
  I don't know if it'll be live in in the moment or something else.
• 20:56
  Hell Fire is coming up also in 10 days.
• 20:59
  This is a ginormous hardcore and death metal festival taking
• 21:04
  place in New Jersey. Apparently it's all day.
• 21:06
  July 4th, 5th and 6th Jersey in the house.
• 21:11
  Dying fetus 18 Visions disembodied beyond repair and
• 21:15
  tunnel bleeding. Hey guys.
• 21:17
  Today Haywire Balmora on broken Wings.
• 21:21
  Zaow, Missing Link. So many killer bands I don't
• 21:25
  know about. 24/7 like 16 hours of hardcore and death metal.
• 21:31
  Hey, Scott Lee is passing by. Oh, Scotty, don't.
• 21:34
  I thought it was Scott Lee. I can't see shit without my
• 21:36
  glasses. I need a new prescription for
• 21:38
  these fucking things. Sorry, Scotty.
• 21:39
  Don't. Welcome to Twitch.
• 21:41
  I'm not used to seeing you on Twitch, but I'm glad you're
• 21:43
  here. What up, pal?
• 21:44
  I'm good. How are you been a day?
• 21:48
  It's been a day. So how fire is coming up in New
• 21:51
  Jersey in 10 days. Also, Boston Calling, which
• 21:54
  we've covered in the past, has been going away and away and
• 21:57
  away from rock is taking the year off next year and coming
• 22:01
  back in June of 2027. So any scooter?
• 22:05
  Yeah, of course. I think.
• 22:08
  Sorry, pal. I think it's super interesting
• 22:10
  that, you know, we're seeing bands are having a hard time
• 22:14
  getting here. Our bands are having a hard time
• 22:16
  going over to Europe. Headliners who are the next
• 22:20
  generation of headliners even in pop and rap and other things,
• 22:23
  Who are they? Like, I know people love that
• 22:28
  one Doji cat song that was all over TikTok and Instagram for
• 22:31
  like a year straight with no stop.
• 22:33
  But realistically, she's not good at singing.
• 22:37
  Maybe she's cute and the song is catchy and she's got a couple of
• 22:40
  songs and features, but like, if I was a pop fan and I was
• 22:44
  looking at her, is she in the next vanguard of people to lead
• 22:50
  pop music forward? And I don't think it is.
• 22:53
  I can see other people doing it, but not her.
• 22:56
  Maybe a Charlie XCX, although I did not like her behavior at
• 23:00
  Coachella. Whatever.
• 23:03
  So Boston Calling taking the year off next year, wish them
• 23:06
  the best. We will see.
• 23:08
  It's very hard to kind of take a break and then come back a year
• 23:10
  later. But there's also too many
• 23:13
  freaking festivals. Memorial Day weekend, it's just
• 23:16
  too many. I went to Bottle Rock.
• 23:19
  Next year I would like to go to Maryland Death Fest or Bottle
• 23:21
  Rock again. It's just too many.
• 23:23
  It's just too many things. Also, 719 day on July 17th.
• 23:29
  This looks super interesting and cool.
• 23:35
  I don't know, this was kind of like a alt folk punk cool band
• 23:43
  kind of thing. Fighting the Phoenix town street
• 23:46
  corner themes I love a lot and we have some news about them to
• 23:50
  worry. Run off space Cowboys glitter
• 23:52
  porn lucked out. These are some really cool
• 23:55
  underground bands you probably need to check out.
• 23:58
  This might be cool at the black sheep, the real black sheep Doo
• 24:02
  Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo. Also, just a reminder again,
• 24:08
  Release Fest Athens continues with these festival sized crowds
• 24:13
  over a series of month long shows for June and July.
• 24:17
  We recently covered Avenged Sevenfold and Pillai a Royale.
• 24:22
  We have idols coverage coming up soon.
• 24:24
  So very very cool. Aiken is going to play their boy
• 24:28
  Harsher who I love. Oh my God.
• 24:30
  Dream Theater, The Prodigy, Gojira, not too shabby.
• 24:34
  Bob Dylan Fire in the Mountains is coming up at the end of July,
• 24:39
  headlined by Wardruna. We have a bunch of Wardruna news
• 24:41
  coming next week. Old Man's Child, Chelsea Wolf
• 24:45
  Converge and more at this Fire in the Mountains festival.
• 24:49
  We got a big announcement about the Gathering of the Juggalos
• 24:53
  with Gore is officially the headliner.
• 24:55
  Very, very cool. Again, not really my thing, but
• 24:59
  25 years of any kind of festival is impressive by any amount or
• 25:03
  stretch. Who else is here?
• 25:06
  Christophe Jim is here. Had you gone?
• 25:09
  8329 is here. Studio Martinez is passed by.
• 25:12
  Thank you. Thank you. 1013 hearts on the
• 25:18
  chat. Thanks all, appreciate it.
• 25:21
  Incarceration is coming up in mid-july.
• 25:25
  Dave asks. I was thought it was funny that
• 25:27
  Nickelback got famous and then so OK, let's actually now
• 25:30
  practice. Hey man, you know what?
• 25:31
  Nickelback has sold millions of records.
• 25:33
  I wish I had one. How, You remind me.
• 25:37
  I've been writing songs since I'm thirteen years old, 12 years
• 25:40
  old. I had several runs with a band.
• 25:43
  I have a new band. And you know, I mean, like, you
• 25:47
  know, is it the most interesting, great, you know,
• 25:51
  deep music ever made? Yo, Led Zeppelin, it ain't Tool
• 25:55
  it ain't. Pink Floyd it ain't, Metallica
• 25:58
  it ain't. But there's people who love
• 26:00
  Nickelback and I highly recommend you watch that
• 26:02
  documentary about them because I think the hate is somewhat
• 26:06
  unjustified. But I agree with you, they were
• 26:12
  in the right place at the right time.
• 26:14
  That post 90s Metallica sound sort of the Hard Rock became a
• 26:19
  little metal and let people kind of get on and be heavy.
• 26:26
  The incarceration fest is coming up.
• 26:28
  Slipknot, death punch, Lamb of God, Three Days Grace as a bath,
• 26:33
  Bear tooth not loose, I prevail, Parkway Drive, kill switch,
• 26:36
  engage drain. Manson also Falling In Reverse.
• 26:41
  Also Dillinger escape plan. Oh dude better Nickelback than
• 26:47
  Ronnie wuss pants Radke. They are the most mid fucking
• 26:53
  band I have ever heard in my life.
• 26:56
  Honestly. Falling In Reverse is garbage
• 26:59
  base bar metal. Like literally not impressive as
• 27:03
  a band. And Ronnie's douche straight up.
• 27:07
  And I'm pretty sure he's looking at like his social relevance
• 27:11
  numbers every week and week to week.
• 27:14
  He's looking at like his social listening tools or his team is
• 27:17
  giving him data, you know, like start some shit this week with
• 27:20
  somebody so you're, you know, you stream some more songs.
• 27:23
  Like what a fucking douche. Anyway, I don't care for him and
• 27:30
  he doesn't know who we are, so all good.
• 27:31
  Don't worry. Damnation festival.
• 27:33
  We told you they added some more bands.
• 27:36
  Corrosion Conformity with a European exclusive late in the
• 27:39
  year. I do believe we're going to get
• 27:40
  a new Corrosion deformity album late this year, early next year.
• 27:45
  Hello, Andy Pelletier and Mark Anderson, 777 Napalm Death.
• 27:49
  I'm in rock deaf heaven. Pertubator Orbit Culture with
• 27:53
  the new album coming soon, High On Fire, The Haunted, I don't
• 27:56
  like Roth, Big Destroyer, Warning, Onslaught, Veggie Dude,
• 27:59
  Worm Rot and more Sigera in there.
• 28:05
  This was cool. I saw this pop up in my feed.
• 28:08
  Truck Fighters Who? I think I have my truck fighters
• 28:11
  hat here somewhere and I might be wearing it.
• 28:15
  No not but it was here earlier. Truck fighters have their own
• 28:19
  festival they usually put on every summer.
• 28:21
  Brent Bork, trio, Dozer themselves, Gnome, dune, craft,
• 28:27
  Abrams, Astro Cree, Astro Queen, caboose wizard with two Z's,
• 28:34
  Langfanga room projectors and more.
• 28:38
  This is in Stockholm in November.
• 28:41
  Would be kind of fun to go out there for that, but seems like
• 28:44
  also a long way to go for a festival.
• 28:48
  Also also on Hinge Fest is coming up in July, end of July
• 28:52
  and that's all the festival news this week.
• 28:54
  We will bring you more next week.
• 28:56
  We are well in the thick of the festival season for Europe and
• 29:01
  America, so we'll be bringing you more stuff next week.
• 29:03
  But here be the concerts now. Just straight up concerts and
• 29:08
  events. Metallica continues to
• 29:11
  Metallica. They have one more weekend on
• 29:13
  this M72 tour this year. I do believe they will add at
• 29:17
  least one more show and they're playing like Bahrain and Dubai
• 29:22
  and they have New Zealand and Australia.
• 29:24
  But in terms of the North American dates, it's all over
• 29:27
  soon. So somebody trying to call in
• 29:34
  anyway. So Yep, Metallica last weekend,
• 29:40
  the shows, I think it's Seattle, pretty cool.
• 29:43
  Would like to have gone. Will not get to go.
• 29:46
  I'm sure they'll also do their Helping Hands concert this year.
• 29:50
  Yeah, I'm saying man, like, I don't know.
• 29:53
  I was listening to the load box set stuff on Spotify this week.
• 29:56
  Like all the outtakes and extra takes.
• 29:58
  The live concerts are fucking phenomenal.
• 30:00
  I don't want to spend $350.00 for that box set.
• 30:03
  I kind of wish I did though, because those live records on
• 30:05
  vinyl will probably be charity. I don't really need hours and
• 30:09
  hours of outtakes and demos from a record that's not that good in
• 30:13
  the 1st place. Load is Fiesta all right, It's
• 30:16
  got some great songs and throw away all the other things that
• 30:19
  cut their hair. They were wearing guy liner and
• 30:22
  kissing each other. I don't care about any of that
• 30:23
  shit. Bands take risks and and change
• 30:26
  their style and everything, but I still love Metallica.
• 30:28
  They're still one of my favorite bands ever.
• 30:31
  All righty Also also again, we know the tickets are on sale for
• 30:35
  next year's tour dates across Europe and I'm sure they'll add
• 30:38
  some more. Then 9 inch nails Peela back
• 30:41
  tour continues and is hitting states soon.
• 30:46
  They're still wrapping up Europe right now in CDC.
• 30:49
  You know they're just about to kick off a European festival
• 30:52
  tour as well as their headline dates and they have announced
• 30:56
  dates for Australia. This looks pretty rad.
• 30:59
  Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, it's basically
• 31:03
  all the major cities of Australia.
• 31:06
  So I don't know. I'm sad that I missed ACDC.
• 31:10
  It's like the one band I have never seen.
• 31:11
  Thrash man is here. Mike Fonseca drums is here.
• 31:15
  He's the thrash man beat up. Oh Bah oh Bah, I'm sure you've
• 31:19
  not heard that joke before. Haha, probably a lot.
• 31:22
  Ain't that funny? What's up man?
• 31:24
  Queens of the Stone Age announced the Catacombs tour.
• 31:27
  Their new Catacombs video is out now for purchase and rent, but
• 31:32
  I'm super interested to see they're going to team up with
• 31:34
  like a little string orchestra in every city and do a similar
• 31:39
  performance to the one they did in the Catacombs of Paris.
• 31:42
  So I wouldn't mind going to this myself.
• 31:44
  It's not that many dates early October to mid November right
• 31:49
  before Thanksgiving in America, so hopefully they will then
• 31:52
  bring this next summer to Europe.
• 31:57
  Earn has announced the handful of dates.
• 31:59
  They just played basically the last show of the tour for their
• 32:03
  last album and they are very soon to announce new music and a
• 32:06
  new album. So they have a handful of dates
• 32:09
  this fall, a book, a France tour.
• 32:11
  Earn is the proteges of Joe Duplantier from Kojira and I'm a
• 32:17
  huge fan of them. They are signed to Spine Farm
• 32:19
  Records and I'm super excited about this band.
• 32:22
  They could be like one of your next breakout bands if things
• 32:26
  happen for them a certain way. They are almost too heavy to get
• 32:30
  more popular. We'll see what they do on the
• 32:32
  next record. Tejon Street Corner Thieves.
• 32:34
  I was just talking about them. They got some shows this
• 32:37
  weekend. Here's one this weekend, Piso in
• 32:42
  Michigan. They are a sort of murder folk,
• 32:46
  country, bluegrass adjacent band from Colorado Springs I'm a big
• 32:51
  fan of. They are signed to Amigo, the
• 32:53
  Devil's record label, Liars Club also.
• 32:56
  Also the Nocturnal Affair who has new music out has announced
• 33:00
  a Europe and UK summer tour. Some dates supporting Wednesday
• 33:04
  13 other dates opening for Drowning Pool.
• 33:07
  Super cool for them to get this glow up and I'm interested in
• 33:12
  finding this band. I am definitely on Instagram.
• 33:14
  I could be shadow band, I don't know.
• 33:16
  We're still there. We were having some problems
• 33:19
  with our Instagram. I had like a computer shit the
• 33:22
  whole bed the beginning of June and I had to like install
• 33:26
  Windows 11, put in new RAM, do this and the other thing.
• 33:29
  Thanks to my awesome girlfriend for helping me out and
• 33:32
  supporting me through that very difficult, painful time
• 33:35
  mentally. And because I rely on this thing
• 33:38
  not just for go scope, but the rest of my life too.
• 33:41
  And, you know, we're there, we're there.
• 33:47
  We're posting maybe and not as much as we should be, but we'll
• 33:50
  change that soon. And I'm trying to still do more
• 33:52
  with my personal gram and YouTube.
• 33:57
  You don't like this photo of this band?
• 33:58
  Is that what you're saying? It's it's interesting, that's
• 34:01
  for sure. Oh, and now you're on Instagram.
• 34:03
  There you go. Couldn't find this.
• 34:04
  I see. Welcome.
• 34:06
  Welcome back, friend. Mayhem has announced their
• 34:10
  exclusive 40th anniversary shows for later this year in Latin
• 34:14
  America. Oh when the PC?
• 34:17
  Yeah when the PC crashes. That shit is the worst bro.
• 34:20
  The worst. And not only crashes, it really
• 34:23
  shit the fucking whole bed. What a disaster.
• 34:28
  Death Heaven has announced AUK tour for later this year with
• 34:31
  Portrayal of Guilt and 0. Portrayal of Guilt is a killer
• 34:36
  fucking band I've been a fan of for a very long time.
• 34:38
  Super cool to see them open up for Death Heaven.
• 34:42
  Interesting to see them and A0LI don't know much about, so if you
• 34:48
  know about that band, jump in the comments and tell me.
• 34:51
  Again, supporting our friends over at Ice Giant with their
• 34:55
  upcoming tour with Malfasa and Celestial Wizard starting off in
• 34:59
  Boston in a week and a half. Best of luck to them and safety
• 35:03
  on the road once again. We're at like the halfway point
• 35:06
  of the y'all so feel free to give us a tip.
• 35:10
  Just a tip, if you will, I host karaoke on Sundays and you

  I do get paid to the host, but like, it's important to, you
• 35:25
  know, show your appreciation. I'm not asking for the whole
• 35:28
  bank, just a dollar or two. But yeah, it's not always the
• 35:32
  most easiest thing for me to do. Also, let's talk about our
• 35:36

• 36:45
  It's pretty badass. Christy is here.
• 36:47
  Hi, Christy, and it's OK is here.
• 36:49
  What's up? We will have a new affiliate
• 36:53
  partner to announce next week. I'm really excited about it, so
• 36:56
  stay tuned. There's going to be some content
• 36:58
  around that and some cool deals. Stay tuned.
• 37:01
  New affiliate partners incoming. So you've already seen it.
• 37:06
  We're on Twitch. Look at me, this is pretty
• 37:09
  interesting. You know, we're trying to get,
• 37:12
  we're almost to 6000 viewers on YouTube.
• 37:15
  So if you're not subbed and you're watching on YouTube, give
• 37:18
  us a subscription. We'll make it worth your while.
• 37:21
  I'm thinking of, like I said, building and I talked about this
• 37:24
  last week. I'm going to start exploring
• 37:26
  doing an extra live stream a week privately for subscribers
• 37:31
  to the channel. It's as low as a dollar to
• 37:36
  subscribe to us on YouTube and we will do some content just for
• 37:41
  you. Maybe I'll do it on Tuesdays.
• 37:44
  And so Nuclear Blast is having a tough couple of weeks.
• 37:48
  They said, oh, you know, we're leaving X, which I understand
• 37:52
  why. I don't think it's doing much
• 37:54
  for anybody these days the way it's going.
• 37:56
  And then they kind of got kicked off of not kicked off, but they
• 37:59
  lost access to their channel or their channel was deleted by
• 38:03
  YouTube of all fucking things. It's because the Internet and
• 38:06
  the music labels, not nuclear blast fault.
• 38:09
  They didn't do anything to get kicked off.
• 38:10
  But there's problems with, you know, there's problems with
• 38:16
  streaming and rights and copyright strikes and stuff.
• 38:20
  And that's probably what happened is they got strikes for
• 38:22
  stuff on their own channel that they own, but YouTube couldn't
• 38:26
  figure out that they're the owners of the exclusive license.
• 38:29
  And that's probably what happened.
• 38:31
  They will probably get their YouTube channel back.
• 38:33
  But I feel bad for them and I'm not calling them out at all.
• 38:35
  We love last year. We cover all their bands, we go
• 38:38
  to all their shows, we interview all their bands, we review most
• 38:40
  of their records. But I just thought it was
• 38:42
  interesting. Be careful with your music
• 38:44
  especially there's a lot of people watch our channels that
• 38:46
  make music. Be careful, I saw some really
• 38:49
  heinous shit about Cap Cut which is owned by Bike Dance which
• 38:52
  owns TikTok, and I'm very seriously considering getting
• 38:56
  rid of Cap Cut altogether. It surely will save me a few
• 38:59
  bucks every month. We're on threads, we're on blue
• 39:03
  sky, I don't know if you like those things.
• 39:04
  We have a Discord, we post on Reddit every week.
• 39:08
  So if you're on those places and you don't like social media,
• 39:12
  maybe find our information somewhere else or sign up for
• 39:15
  our newsletter, which we don't talk enough about.
• 39:17
  And I need to kind of work on a new format for that.
• 39:20
  But I'm going to start back on that in earnest soon, even
• 39:25
  though my name is Keithy and non earnest.
• 39:27
  Time for the news. Let's do the rest of the news
• 39:29
  and say goodbye. So you guys have seen this
• 39:32
  photo. This is from the rehearsals at
• 39:35
  Black Sabbath farewell concert we talked about a few minutes
• 39:37
  ago. Ozzie's looking a little chunky
• 39:41
  with a cane. Bill Ward looks very slender but
• 39:43
  well, and Geezer looks like Geezer.
• 39:47
  I wonder if Tony took this photo.
• 39:50
  I'm cautiously optimistic about this thing, and I'm sure there
• 39:54
  will be more news and stories to come out of this thing.
• 39:57
  Pumpkin Jack is here. What up?
• 39:59
  We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes for the
• 40:01
  Black Sabbath Ozzie farewell concert.
• 40:03
  I wish them the best. Also, we were talking last week
• 40:07
  about Ozzy's cans of Liquid Death.
• 40:09
  Here I am shilling from my Liquid Death.
• 40:11
  Ozzy drank out of 10 cans of Liquid Death and in Liquid Death
• 40:14
  sold those cans for $450 a can. And apparently Travis Barker is
• 40:19
  one of the buyers because he loves Ozzy and he's crazy and he
• 40:23
  has money to burn apparently. So what will Liquid Death think
• 40:29
  of next? Failure out this weekend on
• 40:34
  Disney Plus in Hulu. Failures documentary created by
• 40:39
  Ken Andrews of the band. Don't know if you're a fan, you
• 40:41
  should be a fan. If you're not, get acquainted.
• 40:43
  Failure every time you lose your mind, a film about failure is a
• 40:47
  historical deep dive into the entire history of the band.
• 40:52
  They were apparently somebody else was making this documentary
• 40:55
  and then kind of couldn't finish it and 10 finished the
• 40:59
  documentary about his own band. It is warts and all.
• 41:03
  Failure is a band that should have been as big as any band in
• 41:06
  the 90s, should have been as big as Tool.
• 41:08
  And they fell apart and this, and then they came back and
• 41:12
  their last couple of records have been brilliant, as you
• 41:14
  would expect. So we have an interview coming
• 41:16
  up in July with Ken about this film.
• 41:18
  I'm really stoked about it. I've been lucky enough to
• 41:21
  interview Failure a few times. Failure reunited for the first
• 41:24
  time in 2014. Ghost Cult was there.
• 41:27
  We also covered their first show back as a full time band.
• 41:31
  So pretty great. Check them out if you don't know
• 41:35
  who they are. Three Days Grace has finally
• 41:38
  announced their brand new album Alienation.
• 41:40
  They dropped a new single. This is the full expanded lineup
• 41:43
  of the band with Matt Walst and Adam Gontier as the vocalist.
• 41:47
  As you heard me mention before, they are still doing festivals
• 41:51
  and touring and all this other stuff for their new album coming
• 41:54
  out later in the year via RCA Records.
• 41:58
  And that's the album artwork. It looks pretty cool.
• 42:01
  It's the artwork feels like describes alienation in the
• 42:05
  picture. I thought it was actually pretty
• 42:07
  well done. Gore is coming out with their
• 42:10
  new album, The Return of Gore. Gore coming out on their own Pit
• 42:14
  Records this summer, and it's a multimedia release in
• 42:18
  collaboration with Z2 Comics. So there's a new Gore album, a
• 42:23
  comic book, vinyl variants, and other things.
• 42:28
  I think there's a Gore Gore plushie that I personally would
• 42:30
  love to have because he looks really cool and I'm very excited
• 42:33
  about this Gore interview. You know, it's the 40th
• 42:36
  anniversary of Gore, so they're doing all the things all the
• 42:40
  celebratory things. Sun don't Shine is the Super
• 42:44
  group we've been talking a lot about for years.
• 42:47
  Me, I think we one of the original people to break the
• 42:49
  story about this band. Sun Don't Shine includes members
• 42:52
  of Type O Negative, Crowbar and down and they dropped their new
• 42:57
  single coming down. Their new EP is coming out in a
• 43:01
  month and I'm super hyped for this.
• 43:04
  We would probably be interviewing another member of
• 43:07
  the band soon. We've been doing we've done a
• 43:09
  lot of coverage of them. We've done a lot of interviews
• 43:11
  with the guys about their other bands and I am very, very
• 43:16
  excited for this thing. Sort of a psychedelic Stoner do
• 43:19
  sort of an absolute mix between Type O Negative with Kenny doing
• 43:23
  most of the vocals or all the vocals and those grooves from
• 43:27
  down. So I think this is going to be
• 43:28
  really all a good. Also also Speaking of
• 43:32
  documentaries and films, Harley Flanagan Wired for Chaos is
• 43:36
  doing the festival circuit and indie movie house rounds.
• 43:39
  Check your local indie movie theaters and support these
• 43:42
  theaters as well in your communities.
• 43:45
  I believe Harley will be in San Francisco this weekend.
• 43:48
  I'm going to see the show on Sunday before I host karaoke.
• 43:52
  It's a film by Rex Miller and his own Rex Picks media company
• 43:58
  and I'm very excited about this. I did reach out to Harley to try
• 44:01
  to get an interview. Not sure if I can get some press
• 44:04
  with him or not. He might be done with the press
• 44:05
  for now. Steve Gordon, Mia is a legendary
• 44:10
  guitar player. He's played with just about
• 44:12
  everybody in rock and heavy metal.
• 44:14
  He's got a brand new single, Cold We Go to War, featuring Ray
• 44:17
  West of Spread Eagle and a couple of other bands.
• 44:21
  Killer guitar rock, metal if you like it.
• 44:25
  Forbidden. You all know my love for the
• 44:27
  band Forbidden, right? Forbidden dropped their brand
• 44:30
  new single Divided by Zero that is out now.
• 44:34
  They are working on a brand new album for next summer.
• 44:36
  They are about to kick off a late summer tour of a headline
• 44:41
  shows and festivals in Europe. And then I couldn't be more
• 44:45
  excited for Forbidden. Incredible, legendary Bay Area
• 44:49
  thrash metal. You need this in your life.
• 44:52
  Red Belly Sound is here. Wake Basis here will open up.
• 44:56
  Only wizard passed by. Also, thanks to y'all who are
• 45:01
  still hanging with us. Living Color scared their
• 45:04
  concert for NPR's Tiny Desk music concert.
• 45:07
  And if I can jump on a soapbox for a second because I'd love
• 45:11
  to, You know, the government is trying to shut down NPR.
• 45:15
  And NPR is really important. First and foremost, they have
• 45:18
  been a supporter. They're they're barely
• 45:21
  government funded. Most of their funding does not
• 45:23
  come from the government. So the government pulls their
• 45:25
  funding. That sucks, but their funding
• 45:27
  actually comes from fans and members.
• 45:30
  But NPR is an important voice in the press for freedom of speech,
• 45:36
  for fair and balanced news. Actual fair and balanced, not
• 45:38
  news. Not calling themselves fair and
• 45:40
  balanced and being assholes and one sided.
• 45:44
  And then NPR has been uplifting the arts for the longest time.
• 45:47
  Tiny Desk Concert has had rock, metal, rap, jazz, everybody.
• 45:51
  So Living Color, which is one of my favorite bands ever going
• 45:54
  back to the 80s, did a short Tiny desk concert.
• 45:56
  It's usually like 1/2 an hour tops and they jammed the fuck
• 46:01
  out. We shared this on our site today
• 46:02
  and I'm super excited. Prong has announced that they
• 46:08
  have signed with Napalm Records. Everybody knows my love of
• 46:11
  Prong. We have many interviews on our
• 46:13
  YouTube channel with Prong and they are doing a big show.
• 46:18
  The only North American show in 202531 years of cleansing.
• 46:23
  Plus cleansing in its entirety and all your favorites.
• 46:27
  Saturday, July 19th on Long Island in Amityville at Loaded.
• 46:34
  I'm sorry, Amityville Music Hall, loaded concert series and
• 46:38
  before my Long Island people get on my ass in the chat and yeah,
• 46:43
  I'm very excited about this. We have to find a way to get out
• 46:46
  cover that Amatory murders new album is out now and we're we're
• 46:55
  pretty stoked on that. You should check that record out
• 46:57
  as well. They got a new music video out
• 46:59
  too. We've been talking a lot about
• 47:01
  AI is another soapbox to jump on.
• 47:04
  We've been seeing a lot of music legends jump on the bandwagon of
• 47:09
  AI. And I know Rick Rubin gave an
• 47:11
  interview recently where he was talking about this AI app he has
• 47:15
  worked on introducing called Claude with this cumshot
• 47:19
  asterisk next next to it that I don't like this spooge.
• 47:25
  For a guy that's supposed to be a musical genius, this just
• 47:27
  again, just seems like lazy garbage.
• 47:30
  If you're interested, John Oliver from Last Week Tonight on
• 47:34
  HBO Max, whatever the fuck do you want to call it now, did a
• 47:37
  whole thing on AI Slop, which included AI music.
• 47:40
  Are you seeing like AI bands and artists jobbed into your
• 47:44
  streaming and your Youtubes and your spotifies?
• 47:47
  I am, and it sucks. So I don't know why a guy that's
• 47:50
  supposed to be a bona fide music genius would be like on the Dick
• 47:54
  of AI. It would seem to me like he
• 47:55
  would be against AI, and again, I'm not afraid of AI or machine
• 47:59
  learning, which is really what we have and have had for a long
• 48:02
  time. But I do think that it's cheesy
• 48:04
  to take half measures. We need real artists making art
• 48:08
  and music and no substitutes. And I will go die on that
• 48:12
  fucking hill. Spinal Tap is back in theaters
• 48:17
  next weekend, July 5th, 6th, and 7th only.
• 48:19
  As you know, Spinal Tap 2 is filming right now where the band
• 48:24
  is reuniting after 15 years of retirement to do one last show.
• 48:27
  Does that sound familiar? And This is Spinal Tap is one of
• 48:31
  the greatest things we call back to earlier in the show when we
• 48:35
  talked about the 20 most metal movies and shows.
• 48:39
  And Spinal Tap is on that list. Go check it out.
• 48:43
  I'm going to try to go see it. Locrian has a new reissue of one
• 48:48
  of their classic albums from about 15 years ago.
• 48:51
  This is an absolute bop and a banger.
• 48:54
  I'm super stoked. We had an interview with them
• 48:56
  not too long ago. We reviewed their last album in
• 48:59
  2023 I believe. They're not doing that much
• 49:02
  touring, but maybe writing a new album in 25 or 26 if I'm not
• 49:08
  mistaken. That's not based on fact, but
• 49:10
  that's just, you know, hopeful by me.
• 49:13
  I heard that was kind of in their plans last time we caught
• 49:18
  up with the band. And so I, you know, be
• 49:20
  interesting next time they have a full length release, we will
• 49:24
  get a more deeper dive with them.
• 49:27
  That's the Crystal World is the album.
• 49:30
  The Crystal World is the album. Ryobi is passed by.
• 49:33
  Hello. Getting down to the end here.
• 49:36
  Just a reminder, New York City Denzians, go up to the Bronx, to
• 49:41
  the Bronx County Historical Society and check out Uptown
• 49:44
  Rumble Heavy Music in the Bronx. An exhibition going until from,
• 49:49
  opened in April, and it's going all the way through November.
• 49:52
  It's curated by Stephen Payne, Chucky Brown and friend of the
• 49:55
  show Geo Estrella, and it's got a litany of musical artists that
• 50:01
  come from New York City and the Bronx especially.
• 50:04
  And you want to go to this? I am not going to get back East
• 50:08
  before next year, so I will not get to see this thing, but I'm
• 50:11
  hopeful that we'll get over there to cover it and check it
• 50:14
  out. Also inside drop the brand new
• 50:21
  song this week. Their new album is coming out in
• 50:23
  August to be a Raining Phoenix Music.
• 50:25
  We have an interview coming up in August with Richie Cavallaro,
• 50:28
  Matt Kevlar's son. Super pumped for this new album
• 50:32
  from them. A couple weeks ago we brought
• 50:35
  you the sad news about Douglas passing away from Nitsareb, and
• 50:41
  Nitsareb put out a statement last week, last weekend after we
• 50:47
  went to live, saying that the band intends to continue without
• 50:51
  Douglas. It will never be the same.
• 50:53
  But they have been touring with a different singer.
• 50:56
  Their drummer became their singer and they've been working
• 50:59
  on a long, like a very long in the In the Process album that's
• 51:03
  close to being done. So their sort of job, their goal
• 51:09
  is to continue the band without Douglas, as sad as that is for
• 51:11
  them. Kitsune Moon Girl is here.
• 51:13
  Hello, hello, hello. So, yeah, just tough.
• 51:18
  Just tough stuff. Tough when people leave us.
• 51:21
  Douglas was suffering for a long time with liver failure, which
• 51:24
  sucks. Jones has a new single in video
• 51:28
  out there, new albums coming out soon from Perception Music,
• 51:31
  which is a sub label of Raining Phoenix.
• 51:33
  We were just talking about them. This is just hilarious.
• 51:37
  The berenstain bears brother Bear finds Papa bears tool
• 51:40
  album. I just like funny things.
• 51:43
  The stone eyes pass by former ghost called interviewees.
• 51:46
  The stone eye, How are you doing?
• 51:48
  Luch is here. You know what that means when
• 51:53
  you see a meme, it's time for the next section of the show.
• 51:56
  We've got 2 sections of the show left and they're very manageable
• 52:00
  under an hour. So let's do the New Music Friday
• 52:05

  and I'm going to put myself back in the screen.
• 56:08
  Hey, it's me frozen over here. I'm not sure why.
• 56:15
  All right, let's see if I'm back.
• 56:28
  Seem to be having problems now. Let's see.
• 56:44
  I need like football game music. Here we go.
• 56:46
  I'm back. All righty.
• 56:50
  And now it's time for the mailbag.
• 56:51
  And this week in the mailbag, I have the brand new album from
• 56:54
  Ghost. I have bought actually very
• 56:57
  little new music this year. Just a little bit slow on my
• 57:01
  purchasing. This is Ghost new album
• 57:03
  Skeleton. Now this is the indie vinyl
• 57:08
  variant version. It's already in the Mylar.
• 57:12
  It came with this really cool. First of all, here's the album
• 57:16
  artwork. It's kind of like this foily
• 57:17
  silver again, always going with the Metropolis themes that Ghost
• 57:23
  uses. And then the back cover had this
• 57:26
  really cool sort of film to put over the back, but it actually
• 57:33
  it works on the back or the front.
• 57:38
  That's cool. And then you can also put it
• 57:40
  over the front, but it works better on the back.
• 57:42
  But there it is on the front as well.
• 57:44
  Looks kind of cool. Looks kind of cool just by
• 57:46
  itself. You could just kind of put this
• 57:47
  up on your record stand or something.
• 57:51
  It also came with an insert with all the with this very popular
• 57:55
  photo you've seen on our website and other websites, as well as
• 57:59
  the lyrics on the back, which is cool because except for one
• 58:03
  song, this album is full of bangers.
• 58:05
  I think I can skip love rockets. It's kind of corny, but really
• 58:10
  cool to see the care that they put this in, have all the songs
• 58:16
  and the lyrics. And then finally, the vinyl
• 58:20
  variant for this is the yeah, I have the hype sticker here.
• 58:26
  It's the Violet vinyl and collectible Papa overlay Indie
• 58:30
  Record Store exclusive vinyl vinyl Violet color.
• 58:34
  So this is a train. It's not quite translucent
• 58:38
  final, but it's a Violet say that five times faster Violet
• 58:43
  vinyl but very cool with the ghost label ography happening
• 58:49
  there. Super cool great record not
• 58:52
  their best record, not my favorite ghost record, but an
• 58:54
  excellent record for this year and I'm super stoked about it.
• 58:59
  And that is the end of the show. I could attempt to put back the
• 59:04
  the slide deck and see up there it is.
• 59:06
  There's purple version I don't have.
• 59:10
  And that's the end of the show. Once again, we've come to
• 59:13
  another end. Thanks for being here.
• 59:18
  Piercing metal popped in right at the end.
• 59:20
  What's up? Ken, good to see you.
• 59:21
  We were talking earlier about the business.
• 59:24
  Anyway, you reached the end of the show.
• 59:27
  And as we say every week at this juncture of the show, it's a
• 59:30
  tough time in the world. So definitely thank you, Gabe.
• 59:32
  Thanks everybody for watching. Take care of yourselves, take
• 59:35
  care of each other. Stay as metal as humanly
• 59:37
  possible. Don't drink and drive.
• 59:39
  We'll see you next week. Thursday afternoon, Pacific
• 59:42
  Peace out. Let's see if the end music
• 59:44
  works. I'll dance a jig if it does.
• 59:46
  There it is, Junior. If we get out of this, I'll
• 59:57
  dance a jig. Peace, everybody.
• 1:00:00
  Have a good weekend.
