0:00
Hey, this is Matt from Werewolves. You're listening to another podcast with metal
0:03
v on Heavy mag. What the only I can't say? Fox back time
0:48
like a fox I tire? You'll wait, Tess, stop sing the last
0:55
wise, fox off bass and smash your foss What a fairy ess? Ou
1:00
far? Listen the storms store before us an help listens? Now there's a
1:15
mass stars or cool respondetition. Constable's real posts. Oh, let's start straight
1:30
into it. Four albums you five if you include the APA. Honestly,
1:38
how do you continue to be so creative because this is not your only day.
1:42
Let's be honest. I don't know, man, I've just it's it's
1:48
just there, like I can. I don't really know how to answer it
1:51
because it's almost I think I can, just as far as metal goes,
1:57
death metal particularly, It's just it's fucking in my bones, man, like
2:01
I can't not like it's there, like I could write. I could probably
2:06
write an album starting tomorrow and haven't done in a few days. You know,
2:10
it just it just happens. I can just do it. I don't
2:13
know what it is. So is it just to create? Is it just
2:16
a creativity thing? And you need to be creative and writing constantly and and
2:23
and just get product out there because I mean there's a lot of there's a
2:30
lot of music out there that you know, And with the review that I
2:34
did, I didn't say sorry, I did say that I can't. I
2:39
don't know if you guys are kind of rowing as a band and as a
2:46
sound because there's so much stuff coming out, And do you do you just
2:52
want to smother the world in extreme extreme metal? Maybe maybe that's that's the
2:57
answer that I think. I don't know. It's just like I've been like
3:02
both me and Sam, you know, when he when he joins in with
3:07
what's happening. We've both been doing this for so long, and I think
3:15
I think one of the things that you sort of grow that when when the
3:19
when it happens you latch onto it is when you've got the opportunity and you
3:25
know, like a fucking team of people where you can actually create and work
3:30
and get things done, then it's like you've just got to fucking go with
3:34
it because the fucking clock keeps ticking and the world keeps turning, and if
3:39
you don't fucking do it this year, it won't happen. You know,
3:43
Like you just just get it done, get the fucking job done, get
3:46
started, make it happen. If I'm going to write an album, then
3:49
I'm going to sit down, I'm going to do it and get it done.
3:53
Yea. And then that's that's just the mindset, you know, And
3:55
so many people don't have that. Well, for one, they they don't
4:00
have that mindset, they don't have that fucking drive. And you know,
4:04
not many people necessarily have that ability either. So when when you're lucky enough
4:09
to fucking surround yourself with a few like minded savages, and this is in
4:15
every fucking area of life as well, not just fucking death metal or you
4:17
know, not just music, any anything. When you when you've got that
4:21
opportunity to fucking guess it done, then you've got to fucking do it,
4:25
you know. So I think it's probably that just taking advantage of finally having
4:29
that situation, because I've played in many bands and not always had that fucking
4:34
opportunity to really push just because people are at different parts of different stages of
4:40
life, and you know, people want different things out of out of stuff,
4:45
you know, so if you if the planet's aligned and you've got the
4:48
opportunity to do something and fucking do it. That's sort of my you know
4:54
thinking with that sort of with the death metal sort of creation. And they
4:59
even still like with so much going on and so much music out there,
5:04
attributing it to you, to you personally, Matt, and this will go
5:08
to you as well. Sam, What's where Wolves? Matt Wilcops and Sam
5:13
Being's mission statement uncompromising, unending death metal. Yeah, Sam, Sam stumping
5:23
ay Man mission statement. Well, I was going to say, I think
5:28
we did a song called Mission Statement and it basically encapsulated everything right there.
5:32
But yeah, if we're going to sum it up in a sentence, it'll
5:35
just be like, keep on smashing it all endlessly with death metal until like
5:42
we fucking bleed, both of us, all of us. Yeah, and
5:47
I'm sort of behind what Matt was saying before, Like you know, you
5:53
probably know this as well, Like you start getting around this beIN Titch and
5:56
he see sort of like you know, life now a little bit fucking horrific,
6:01
just randomly for people. So yeah, very much. When you've got
6:06
the opportunity to like just get after it, you fucking go for it.
6:11
You just don't know what's coming around the corner, Sam, what have you
6:15
done differently on my enemies looking sound like me to what you've done previously?
6:21
Nothing, don't hold back, let's work unusual. Look, I was gonna
6:30
say that, you know, if you do something like with any regularity,
6:35
you get better at it. And what this is four years in or of
6:40
making death metal albums. Normally people get the hang of it just after two
6:45
and so yeah, no, it was sort of like got it going on.
6:48
Maybe the big difference for me was like I wasn't focusing on I wasn't
6:54
having a learned base or you know, the baselines or record bass lines at
6:59
the same time as as I was writing the vocals, because we did all
7:02
the instrumentation for albums two and three, like I'm not two and three,
7:06
three and four sorry at the same time, and then kind of like you
7:12
know, split songs up going right, this one's going on this album,
7:15
this one we'll go on the other. And so that was a full on
7:18
year, like you know, a couple of years ago, recording two albums
7:23
worth of instruments and then then sorting out like the vocals for that album.
7:28
But when it came to last year, I was able to really just like
7:30
that was all I had on my plate so was able to really get after
7:36
it. I'm noticing it this year because I've had to. I'm sort of
7:41
like just in the throes of finishing off like my work on album five at
7:45
the moment, so you know, I'm back to having to learn like the
7:49
baselines and record them for an album as well as coming up with the vocals.
7:54
And I'm like, oh Jesus Christ, I forgot what a workload this
7:58
can be. Sometimes good day, this is the same, and this is
8:01
not. And you're listening to another podcast from the Heavy Mug one two strays
8:05
a don my Chad gage shout yet times gotta slid out y'all out yawn doll
8:13

11:39
and instead O my love, I set your wife. You have that tale
11:43
my man to pay man. You will find out I down all y'all thoughts
11:48
with guys, because or you'll do your legs And I just n like you
12:22
what. The savagery of the attack would suggest the action of an animal or
12:26
a lunatic. Perhaps, so are you guys living apart? Are you guys
12:31
just sending tracks back and forth? Or are you like in a good vicinity
12:37
where you can actually rese at the same time. It's all as far as
12:43
ripening and recording. It all gets emailed, you know, like meet me
12:48
and day. Well, oh, basically, I'll write a song, you
12:52
know, give your take, and then I'll write a fucking album or to
12:56
the point I'll send us to the guy. They'll generally, you know,
13:03
I'll just say Dave might say, make this one a bit quicker, or
13:07
maybe make that one to touch slower, just so it's a bit hard.
13:11
He'll maybe like a few tempo suggestions, and Sam might make a couple of
13:16
arrangements suggestions, and other than that, like it's all just done. Like
13:22
I'll send the videos of the riffs, maybe a bit of an explanation of
13:26
things, and he'll learn them on his own. Dave will just do his
13:31
own thing drum wise, in his own time, and we don't. The
13:35
first time we usually play a song, I guess last year has been when
13:39
we are trying to learn it for for a gig or whatever I'm watching.
13:46
I'm watching at the idea if you're just sending a song through like no,
13:50
it's like I get a fucking zip file. It's got like eight or nine
13:54
of the bastards in its like learning there's a really segue into the next question.
14:01
Guys. You know, if there's eight or nine going out into a
14:03
zip, Matt, how many songs are you writing for each album? Considering
14:07
there's only eight or nine per album? I'll write nine, So like we've
14:13
we've got a thing. We're pretty much just do nine songs. Yeah,
14:16
I'll just I'll write nine and that'll be pretty much it. But I know
14:22
that I'm confident with the nine songs, so like I know that they're going
14:26
to be okay. So yeah, I'll just write nine at a time,
14:30
and yeah, that's it. So with that, Sam and obviously Dad not
14:35
being here, Like how much input do you have into putting things in and
14:41
cutting things out out of what Matt writes. I think I've got a lot
14:45
of luwahi to make suggestions. But to be honest, it turns up right
14:50
there. It's very it's very it's very rare for me to sort of you
14:54
know because normally, you know, not only as Matt worked and reworked it
14:58
a little bit, Dave said he's piece as well by the time it comes
15:01
through to me, So I, yeah, I've got very little little to
15:07
say, like, and the other thing as well is like, yeah,
15:11
I kind of trust in the guys. There will be songs that come through
15:16
where it doesn't strike me immediately or whatever, and I'm just like, fuck
15:20
it. I you know, I'm banging out vocals to this anyway no matter
15:22
what, and it all seems to work out. So there's there is a
15:28
fair bit of trust there. Like I'm like, you know, most of
15:33
the stuff, I like, most of the stuff is already there. And
15:35
I'm like, if you know, if I've got a question mark about something,
15:39
unless it's really something that's getting my goat or not working, then I
15:43
shut up and go with it because their metal instincts are true and pure.
15:50
Let's play a song, Sam. I messaged you earlier about under the Ground
15:56
and a lyric for that, because I actually wanted to use that as a
15:58
tack one for the my review, good idea. Can you tell us about
16:04
under the Ground and what the lyrical inspiration was behind that inspiration? Such the
16:11
wrong word to use with us, but like, sorry, how to how
16:15
to you know? It's that one's? That one's like we there's normally a
16:19
song on each album where like we absolutely fucking give it to our fans,
16:23
like for having the temerity to listen to us. And you know, one
16:30
way we really ripped into people, and that's that song on this album.
16:34
Like I think I've been listening to two packs hit him up like the one
16:38
you know, I think he got shot for and and I just thought how
16:42
magnificent it was, Like, you know, to just go all out in
16:47
a track and it's fucking death metal, Like if you can't really you know,
16:51
give everyone and everything a spray, then you know, what the fuck?
16:56
Why leave it to the gangster rappers? I mean, like, yeah,
16:57
it's death metal. We're supposed to be able to go hard, so
17:00
that's our go hard song. Like don't look for any deep lyrical meaning,
17:04
any metaphors or anything like that. It's just a great big fuck off to
17:07
everyone. Probably my favorite bit of the song is talking about Schrodinger's lyrics,
17:12
like that little verse there where basically it's just formless grunting like during it.
17:18
So yeah, it's it's got to be the sense of humor to it,
17:22
but catchy track. We get to scream out ship cun as well, so
17:25
it rules. I made sure. I made sure I put the I dropped
17:29
sea bomb in the review too. By the way, under the grounds look
17:33
and sound like me werewolves when anyone rememberable place to go? Say so good
18:00
to go sound or clus everybody gonna do fall the down ruly on the ground
18:14
on to over ground rock eye fowls crowing about my whole crowd, my own
18:30
over eyes flu shoes go fro prays. That's where I ain't done ever again
18:51
I was spak, will bide where out the happy eyes bark? Ain't they
18:55
yell out of side Orsola No for no boss, don't boss say to bos
19:33
turks or turks and don't toss door too. Juss world and why he r
19:40
start? Now that's what you had for like he said he was saying he
19:44
was said, he was said, like keep saying, God, why you
19:53
crush your motherfuck us? Do no sway ard you know, a fucking pathetic
20:03
count. It would be read for a band, Matt. You were talking
20:06
before about when you find two or three or four or however many like minded
20:11
people that you can just click with. You know a lot of bands come
20:15
and go, and you can as a as a fan, as somebody who
20:18
writes about metal, as somebody who's listened to it for a long time.
20:22
You can feel and hear when a member comes and goes or when they come
20:27
back and there's something lacking. How important and good is it to have found
20:33
something like that, because let's not lie. You guys have written a lot
20:37
of fucking albums together. It's a rarity, you know, like it's it's
20:40
fucking it's hard, and it's it's a good thing. Like you know,
20:45
I think all the bands I've been in, like since, you know,
20:48
since being a fucking teenager, there's always been issues with people. And I'm
20:56
not even saying that in an overly negative way. I'm just saying it that
21:00
really different and people have different goals and also people change over time, so
21:04
none of it is like none of my experiences are necessarily negative with people or
21:11
in bands. It's just just the way there is. You know, people,
21:14
people change, and people have got different sort of goals and aims and
21:18
ship. So you know, for us who are all you know, the
21:22
same sort of age, everyone's like a fucking grown up with a mortgage and
21:27
all that sort of stuff. So I think given where we all are in
21:33
life and the fact that we all just fucking love death metal and want to
21:37
just make death metal. They're just the fact that we can. We're all
21:44
in the same mindset and wanting to do that and do it well and do
21:48
some of the other things that go along with that, be at touring,
21:51
playing shows, fucking you know, just all the other stuff that goes along.
21:56
Just the fact that we're all somewhat on the same page and all in
22:00
the right in the same direction. It's it's fucking great. You know,
22:03
it's a real it's it's a rarity, you know. So it's it's very
22:07
good. So so you can confidently write something and go, the guys are
22:12
going to get this. I don't need to explain anything. It's just it's
22:17
going to be magic from from from the first roof. Yeah, totally right.
22:23
And there has been times because I'm thinking maybe more more with Anti Christ,
22:27
because with the Antichrist Imperium, which means going to do you know,
22:32
I obviously you've heard something like because like that band, it's a little bit
22:36
more out there and it's a bit fucking it goes off on a tangent.
22:38
I know that there's been times with that, for example, where Sam's like
22:41
or I don't know if I don't know if this is I don't know what
22:45
you're doing. I don't know if it's going to work. And I'll be
22:48
like, trust me, I've got a fucking vision. I know where,
22:51
I know it's going to happen. You know it's going to be cool,
22:52
and you know, and in the end hopefully it has turned out well.
22:57
But yeah, it gets and wells. It's just fucking death metal. And
23:03
the three of us have been fucking playing death medal for a long time,
23:06
so you know, whether it's good or not, whether people like it or
23:10
not. We're fucking good at doing this thing that we do, and we're
23:14
all pretty confident that it's going to be good for what it is. So
23:19
I've got complete faith in the other two. You fucking do things properly,
23:22
as I'm sure they've got faith in me to fucking write fucking nine brutal songs
23:26
once a year or more. If they asked me to Dan you want to
23:32
jim in here. What was the question again? It was like five minutes
23:37
ago. It was just about about like finding you know, two or three
23:44
or four like minded people that just get what you do and not having to
23:47
explain yourself. You can just produce something artistically, you know, whether it
23:52
be extreme metal or fucking you know, avant garde metal, and how good
23:57
it is to be able to have that and have that trust and faith.
24:03
It's pretty good. It probably because there's been like a good you know,
24:08
there's a few decades now make music and you know, we've sort of like
24:14
I think we did a lot of work together at kind of like the start
24:17
of that, and there's been obviously a lot of work in this last decade
24:19
or so now, but there's sort of like that break in the middle as
24:23
well, where we've sort of you know, we've been with a bunch of
24:26
other bands, and yeah, it is it is something to come It's something
24:32
good to come back to because, as Matt's already explained, other bands like
24:37
have there can be a wide variety of issues that you have to go through,
24:41
and you know, one of them quite often is like you know,
24:45
just the basic presenting ideas songs or ifs, lyrics or whatever, and like
24:48
how the ownership thing sometimes crops up in bands and and that sort of stuff
24:56
like as well as many other things. It's, yeah, and it's just
25:00
good to be able to like straightforward get after it. I think. Yeah.
25:03
What Matt also said just about that stage in our lives as well,
25:07
like you know a lot of people when they hit the thirties or forties,
25:11
like you know, that's the kids age, or it's the age where you're
25:15
like, fuck, I really need to get my ship together. And just
25:18
so many guys drop off the drop off the map or have to like look
25:23
at their bands suddenly going this needs to be making money. This needs to
25:26
be making money now, and all these different pressures and ideas start getting in
25:32
their head and gring away at them. And I think we've touch wood.
25:37
I think we've passed through that stage of our life. You know, someone
25:41
asked me earlier today, like, you know, how do you go about
25:42
arranging doing things like you know, tours for example, And we're you know,
25:48
we've all got like at this stage, we've got the life now that
25:51
supports that, we've got the partners that support that, We've you know,
25:56
we've got our equipment, we've got our jobs, we know what we need
25:59
to do. So yeah, there's very little standing in the way of when
26:03
we decide to do things. And that's kind of by design, I think
26:07
for all of us. Matt, can you pick a song from the new
26:10
album for us and tell us why I've chose it and introduce it as well.
26:14
Okay, what's what's the third one? Called bring to Me the Kill?
26:17
Yeah, I'm going to choose that because when when we wrote the album,
26:21
that felt like a weeker one, but it turned out fucking gruel and
26:26
I quite like it, So we're going with that. There is aside sat
26:45
in my bowl trying to drink my death kills my whole who up bed out
27:17
that Google's who wrote out a game? Who stoo that stop? Oh yeah,
27:21
I wos who foods right? I will go bo when I got right
27:25
that who that guys got that guys wanted too to right in the ass tool
27:29
to too cool to you do? How about a tis right as you d
27:36
tie d do di spody walk outside that h body often love herself listen to
27:44
what will now? They stay to love worry to me a cheer? Oh
28:36
that's why usual that's my side, potry stud. That's bow ye eyes us
28:41
three rights. I gonna grow word I got that screws may still DRIs got
28:48
bails now I talk. That's go right to me that cow dogs, I
28:56
said, lay out, I fus ye world. Obviously we don't hang out,
29:22
but I would like to think of you guys as as metal mates.
29:26
How has your life changed and made a difference to who you are? Sorry,
29:33
the music that you create change who you are as people? Sam,
29:37
you go first of all, I think about that. It's too intellectual for
29:40
America. I remind you what the question is once I finish buck, how
29:45
does it means we've created change? It's it's hard to imagine a life where
29:52
it's not day in day making death metal or whether that's not a big part
29:59
of it. So but throughout your like you know, family man time and
30:03
it works time. Are you actually just contemplating being a fucking brutal death metal
30:10
can't absolutely all the time? It pops in the head like a fair amount
30:18
of time during the day, Like you know, it probably ties back to
30:22
lyrics as well, Like you know, quite often when it comes to lyrics,
30:26
I'm a magpie, like it's my day to day life and someone will
30:30
say something out of context or whatever, and I'll just be going, oh,
30:34
that makes good lyrics in a song, and it quickly gets scrolled down.
30:38
So it's kind of the death metal part is still you know, always
30:44
kind of constant, even if you're not like, don't have the time to
30:48
just sit still and rehearse or riot or something because you, as you say,
30:52
adult life's getting in a way. Shit, man, yeah I didn't.
30:56
I didn't choose the death metal life. It chose me. Man.
31:03
I'll tell you one thing that's probably changed with me is over the last the
31:08
last few years, well, I guess the wear will sort of lifespans.
31:14
So far, I've become probably more passionate about brutal music than I was prior
31:21
to that, even though of course I've always liked things liked, you know,
31:25
definitely on black metal. But now it's like, you know, like
31:30
if I go to the gym then, in which I do most week,
31:33
most Monday Friday, it's like, without fail, I'm listening to death metal
31:38
and it fucking helps push, you know, and it's like it's it's just
31:44
it's so ingrained in you know what I do now, and like just riding
31:48
these riffs just it comes easy, and it's I think it's just in there,
31:53
like it's it's in there to stay, just probably more so just through
31:59
you know, what you've achieved as a band over the last few years,
32:02
it's really sort of cemented yourself in with you know, my personality and my
32:07
fucking spiritual being. I guess I don't know. I mean just before we
32:13
gone to this interview, I was listening to Olders of Madness. Before that,
32:17
I was into fucking Storm God's Unbound. Before that, I was listening
32:24
to Lock Up, Nice, nice relaxing Sunday for me. Really, one
32:31
of the big supports you did, you guys did, was Mayhem. You
32:35
know what, what was the feedback that you got from you know, black
32:37
metal Kings? Absolutely nothing. They didn't say a fucking word to us.
32:45
Yeah, look, okay, I exagerated, I ecgerated slightly. Wholehammer was
32:51
chatty necro a bit weird, stole a bottle of wine of mine? Mats
32:57
mats all that coming? Or was it Attila interesting guy, weird, weird
33:06
cat, but like genial enough. The rest of them, the guitarists,
33:10
the crew by didn't speak to us. Yeah. One of the funny stories
33:17
I talk about is on the very last night where we played Adelaide, Like,
33:22
you know, I think we've done our show. We're in the dressing
33:24
room. Some of them were out, like there's the piano sort of in
33:28
the backstage area of the Adelaide venue and they were playing Van Helen. I
33:31
think Jump sort of on the piano, and I think I jumped out of
33:35
the dressing room at some point sort of half drunk and was like jump and
33:39
they stopped what they're doing, got up, walked into the dressing room,
33:43
closed the door, and rock stars. That's them, Yeah, their thing.
33:51
But yeah, we definitely, we definitely didn't get any feedback. Yeah,
33:55
I wouldn't class them as rock stars. I just classed them as a
34:00
like weird. They're an enigma of the band. They're weird and that's why
34:07
they're so fucking good. Yeah. Yeah, it was one of the things,
34:13
one of the phrases. It sort of struck me when I was like
34:15
watching them play and also just hang about is the real deal? Like you
34:22
know, it's just as I say, like so many of them who were
34:24
just like you know, they didn't come off stage but put their spectacles on
34:29
and sort of like you know, do up their sweater and go back to
34:32
being normal. They were kind of Yeah, yeah, they've been pretty pretty
34:40
out there. Like Hellhammer didn't sleep for like I think two or three days
34:45
of the like the tour. It was just up and go on like NonStop,
34:50
like black metal Action Figure it dudes work fifty four fucking just jacked like
34:59
a fuck and Mattel Doll like it's yeah, that's the man, like,
35:05
Yeah, the gig was amazing. Yeah, Sam that you'll turned to pick
35:09
a track from the album fuck me Okay Neander Hell it's because I reckon.
35:15
This is the heaviest track on the album. The first half of it is
35:20
is brisk, and then it completely goes absolutely fucking mental in the second half.
35:25
And when the song closes out, it's so brutal and so fucking heavy
35:30
that I need to sit down and just like take a few deep breaths.
35:32
It's that's why I like it, enjoy. I want to be appe so
36:00
we as my skinny fast un lay. I don't want to kill each other
36:05

38:44
Maybe we ho. It's not just a question of whether I'm not to
39:00
use a veil. Simply is no other way. Hey, this is Matt
39:05
from Whale Wolves. You're listening to another podcast with metal v on Heavy Mag.
39:09
Got a nuts by two are coming up in October. Excitedly, Yeah,
39:15
yeah, I'd be going to that I'd be going to that gig even
39:17
if I wasn't playing it, So you know the idea of getting like to
39:22
see it for three five times in a row across Australia, that fucking rules.
39:28
I just yeah, we just need to speed our gig up so we
39:30
can just like bang it out, get off and get ready to watch.
39:34
So nine songs in twenty minutes, I'll damage style. Yeah, that's right
39:39
up, everything in tempo a little bit so and get through all quicker.
39:45
I can hear Dave in the distance in the US going no, no,
39:47
No, Is there anything you'd actually want to touch on or talk about before
39:54
we before we quit? First of all, I want to say congratulations on
39:58
your album. Like I said, I can't say whether it's a growth or
40:04
something new, but it's consistently Werewolves and amazing because you guys are a part
40:09
of it, and you guys know how much I love what you do.
40:13
So thank you, thank you man. Welcome Now i'd say, I'd say
40:16
it's a clear regression from from the cave to the graves to be interesting.
40:25
No, it's just like less pretense to being music and entertainment and just like
40:30
it's more just cheer raw, unadulterated, like an unseasoned violence. Before it
40:37
was like sort of putting on like the sparkly lights and a soundtrack and getting
40:42
hit with the baseball bat. And it's just stripped back to the baseball bat
40:45
now. So that's kind of how it strikes me. I wouldn't call that
40:49
a regression model. I'll definitely call that a nice growth. Perhaps I'm a
40:54
fine tuning of what we're sort of trying to do. It's a bit weird
40:59
like me, Like for a while, I was, I wasn't sure entirely
41:04
what I thought of the album, whether it was perhaps the production wasn't quite
41:08
right, or maybe the songs weren't necessarily as good as some of the previous
41:14
ones have been. But over the last sort of a few doubts, Well
41:17
the last week or so that reviews have been coming in and people have been
41:21
sort of talking to us about it and just messages and all that sort of
41:23
ships, it seems to be getting like you know, like a really sort
41:28
of positive response and everyone's into it. So yeah, it's good. It's
41:34
been sort of overwhelming, and so that made you step back, Matt And
41:38
and listen to the album differently to how you wrote it, to how people
41:46
perceive it. I think what happens with me is when we're mixing it,
41:52
I was just about going saying, listening to it and wondering whether it's right
41:55
or whether it's good enough or whatever, and actually would just go with it.
42:00
And I had quite a long time between hearing it again, and when
42:04
I listened to it again, like you know, months later or whatever,
42:07
it's like, okay, right, I get it now, it's it works.
42:09
I think maybe you get to you get a bit immersed in something when
42:13
you're doing it. And yeah, on this occasion I sort of had to
42:16
rely on. It was Sam actually that said it's fucking great. It sounds
42:22
it's good. It sounds brutal, it sounds like how it should sound.
42:23
It sounds like death metal, so you know, sort of cool, put
42:29
the trust there and all on the heart of yeah it's everyone else seems to
42:32
get that same vibe as well, so yeah, it's good. Another successful
42:37
album touched him for me, From From the Cave to the Grave, like
42:42
was a pretty good album. When we did that one, there was we
42:45
were kind of like joking around and I don't know, I don't know how
42:46
we're going to beat this with this one, you know, I find myself
42:52
repeating again, I don't know how we're going to beat this, but I
42:53
do know like it's it's smashed the shit out of From the Cave to the
42:58
Grave, and it reminds me a little bit like I think this will sound
43:02
conceded as hell with this band, like we seem to go one pretty good
43:07
album and then one absolute fucking mental case cracker of an album and we just
43:13
alternate. So the first one, good one, What a Time to Be
43:15
Alive like, is the one that everyone seems to talk about where it's just
43:20
an absolute, you know, fucking violation. From the Cave to the Grave
43:25
another good album with some six songs on it. And then this one,
43:30
I think is us going absolutely fucking buck world again, and it's I like
43:37
it. I think that's the mode we operate best at. Yeah. Again,
43:42
I just don't know how we're going to do better than it, which
43:44
is always a wonderful thing to think when you're trying to get ready to go
43:46
into the studio. Now, Yes, yeah, lad, thank you so
43:53
much for your time today. I'm going to get you in the mag next
43:58
week. Matt, Thank you for joining it or short notice. Sam,
44:01
thank you for you know, letting me procrassionate and being adult and have my
44:06
time off. I want you, I want you each to pick a song
44:09
from the new album and introduce it and tell us why you've chosen it,
44:15
and we'll finish up. Sam, you go first. I knew you're gonna
44:20
say that, guy, Damn you fucking hell. I'm just trying to remember
44:23
what the song titles are. I knew nothing then and I know less now.
44:30
That was gonna that was going to be the original album title, and
44:34
then we changed around. I really like this one. It's got a bit
44:37
of a different even though it's heavy as fuck, it's got a little bit
44:40
of a different field to it. We do a few different things in there.
44:43
It's normal, but that opening sort of marching stomp riff, it's it's
44:49
perfect. It's it's such a violent, militaristic riff. And Dave is like,
44:53
absolutely, you know on tempo for that one, and yeah, the
45:00
swearing and abuses next little two. So I like it. May you Matt,
45:05
you'll go, I'm gonna go for a brace for impact. Nice.
45:08
Yeah, it's brutal, and then the volume and it goes out half way
45:13
through it gets twice as brutal. So we'll go with that to the last.
45:34
My grandpa with day on house on I satur Day on a side,
