- 8:38That's good news. We like the dogs.
- 8:39You'll see that. We love the dogs.
- 8:41So this is interesting. So a little personal life
- 8:44update. I spent a lot of time last year
- 8:45and earlier this year talking about my personal health.
- 8:48About 15 months ago I was in the hospital.
- 8:51This time, not about to die, but very severely ill and very
- 8:56unwell. And so I've been kind of on a
- 8:58health journey and I'm not Some news today.
- 9:01I had my physical on Monday. And I had some lab work
- 9:04yesterday and the news is mixed. To be honest, I'm a little
- 9:07disappointed and bummed about myself, but I'm going to be OK
- 9:13the long. Story long The short story is
- 9:15I'm going to be OK. Little bit of positive, little
- 9:18bit of negative. But I have a long way to go.
- 9:20My mental health is better than it has ever been in years.
- 9:26I've got my right mix of meds for my mental health.
- 9:30I got great. Counseling in place.
- 9:32I got a lady that loves me. I'm feeling great about a lot of
- 9:36things, which is the positive. Part the negative part is
- 9:39unfortunately my physical did not go as well.
- 9:42As I had planned. So let's talk a little bit about
- 9:45that. Now I'll blow this up on the
- 9:46screen. So since January, without
- 9:49actually trying that much, I've lost 10 lbs, which is good.
- 9:53I had actually expected it to be more.
- 9:56And you know, I'm glad it's, you know, not you know, it's
- 10:01considering I feel like I'm I've been very hungry and eating
- 10:04things that are not nailed down interestingly.
- 10:06Hey, Meg, Meg Jacobs and black cat and Maybelline, thank you
- 10:11for being here. I appreciate you for liking us
- 10:13and following us. Feel free to give us whatever
- 10:15support you want to on TikTok, whatever that looks like.
- 10:18Hearts follows Subs comments on our content.
- 10:22So I lost. 10 lbs and my blood pressure that I have been on
- 10:25blood pressure meds for that 15 months I mentioned is much
- 10:28better. I I do suffer from diabetes, I
- 10:31do not have to take insulin shots.
- 10:33But I have a multitude, several diabetes medicines and I think
- 10:38it's important to talk about this stuff.
- 10:40So my A1C when I first went in the hospital 15 months ago was
- 10:44like 11 plus, which is like very bad.
- 10:47And then I got it down to seven and then it went back up about 6
- 10:52months ago to seven one. And this is my first blood work
- 10:55since then. Dirt.
- 10:56McGurk is here. What's up, dirt?
- 10:59Metal core solo act. Yeah, absolutely great.
- 11:01Meg, we do a thing where we give a shout out to underground
- 11:05bands, sometimes underground, sometimes not, but mostly
- 11:08underground bands on our YouTube videos for our YouTube
- 11:10interviews. Go check out our YouTube in any
- 11:13of our YouTube videos or the OR and see the description at the
- 11:19bottom on how to get mentioned in our videos.
- 11:22And then we give you like when we share that, the little clips
- 11:24of those videos on social media, we tag your band or your or your
- 11:27page if you have one, if that's interesting to you, we like to
- 11:30help. Support so my A. 1C went up.
- 11:32That's the the long story is it went up to 8.
- 11:38I it's not that I'm eating sugary foods, although I do have
- 11:40a liquid death. This is the only sugar I
- 11:42actually have added sugar in my body ever, and these are going
- 11:46away anyway. Because Liquid Death is
- 11:47discontinuing. This flavor and they switched to
- 11:49stevia from agave nectar so that kind of sucks but.
- 11:55I don't know. I I put on I I.
- 11:56Haven't put on weight but I think I've been eating more and
- 12:00I'm not exercising as much. Although I'm supposed to take 3
- 12:02long walks a week and I did walk back and forth to the Emperor
- 12:06show last weekend in San Francisco.
- 12:09So I have to when I I'm going away for a festival this week.
- 12:13And when I come back from that festival, I'm going to really
- 12:15buckle down on my eating a little bit more and I have to
- 12:20exercise a lot more. And then my cholesterol is still
- 12:24actually quite high. I have been on I.
- 12:28Have it here, basically Crestor. I have an empty bottle here.
- 12:30I'm about to pick up some more meds on my way out of town.
- 12:33And my cholesterol. Is still.
- 12:36Dangerously high. I don't have heart problems, I
- 12:38never smoked, I don't drink much anymore.
- 12:41I was a heavy. Drinker for a period of time,
- 12:43but not all the time. And so these are some concerns
- 12:47and I want, and this is for accountability.
- 12:49Well, I'm doing this for me, but also men of my age.
- 12:51I'm 52, I know I got a baby face and people like 52.
- 12:54I am 52 years old. I will be 53 in September.
- 12:58Oh, you working farming? That's awesome.
- 13:00Our one of our favorite photographers is a pharmacist.
- 13:05Yeah, I think, well, I feel. Like, I'm doing better Megs.
- 13:08I just, you know, it's just kind of scary.
- 13:12You know, I've had a lot of death and major illnesses in my
- 13:15family, heart, heart attacks and cancers and diabetes.
- 13:18So, you know, the BTS, I feel better that I'm trying to get
- 13:22this. Thank you, Gabe, I do got this.
- 13:24I really appreciate. You man, I got like I said, I
- 13:26got a great team around me. I have my friends, I have my
- 13:30girl. Life is not bad.
- 13:32It's getting better. It's been hard, but it's getting
- 13:34better. So I just wanted to this is for
- 13:35my own accountability. I will follow up maybe after the
- 13:38summer with another one of these.
- 13:40If you don't care about this and I just spent 5 minutes talking
- 13:42about my personal shit, I am sorry.
- 13:44If you came here from Music news, now is the time.
- 13:46Thank you for listening. Just two birthdays we made
- 13:50mention of this week, Christopher Hall of Stabbing
- 13:53Westward and Kenny Hickey today from Typo Negative and the Super
- 13:57group Sun Don't Shine and his own group Silver Tomb.
- 14:00Kenny, we love you Christopher. We love you for both former
- 14:04interviewees of Ghost Cult and many happy returns, as we like
- 14:07to say. And then also today was World
- 14:10Goth Day, I think originally because it's Morrissey's
- 14:13birthday, but kind of fuck him. But we shared on social media a
- 14:18list of underrated goth and goth adjacent bands.
- 14:22So goth, post punk, new wave, industrial metal, anything kind
- 14:27of remotely gothy. And I just put this list out.
- 14:29And if you've got a favorite goth or industrial metal band,
- 14:32or a goth or a goth adjacent band you love?
- 14:35Drop a comment below, but maybe you'll discover some new bands
- 14:37through this little list we put up on social.
- 14:40Seem to get a nice response everywhere.
- 14:45Yo, that one, how are you doing? Good to see you here.
- 14:48So yeah. And then this was just like,
- 14:52again, brain breaking news. Today, This is so sad.
- 14:56This is so sad. I almost didn't want to talk
- 14:59about it, but yeah, of course we have to.
- 15:02Daniel Williams, the former drummer of The Devil Wears Prada
- 15:05from 2005 to 2016, died in a plane crash today.
- 15:10It wasn't officially originally confirmed.
- 15:12Too soon. This is along with the Daniel
- 15:14Shapiro news, by the way. Serena.
- 15:17Yeah, man, fuck. Morrissey.
- 15:19But anyway, this is just some terrible news.
- 15:21Shapiro had been piloting his private plane.
- 15:25Shapiro is a music agent and none of some of the biggest fans
- 15:28in the world. And I'm generally all around,
- 15:30well, like, nice guy. I never met him.
- 15:32I think we met Daniel once at a Mayhem festival, and we met the
- 15:36whole band. And, you know, just my heart
- 15:40goes out to their families. And as I said, other people in
- 15:42the plane died. We don't have their names yet.
- 15:44People were their homes on fire in the San Diego area, in
- 15:49residential San Diego. So, you know, very tough, very
- 15:52tough stuff today. Very heavy hearts out there and
- 15:55I am so sorry to hear about this stuff.
- 15:57And again, Dave Shapiro was the head of the sound talent group,
- 16:00managed many, many bands, booked many, many bands, wrecked many,
- 16:04many bands. And just generally the music
- 16:06industry, as I often say, it's the music business, not the
- 16:09music friendship. But this guy was apparently a
- 16:11true friend to people, not just a, you know, a shark of a
- 16:15business guy. And then this was another one,
- 16:17you know, again like some of our.
- 16:19Artists of a certain age are. Getting, you know, older and
- 16:24older and you know, like we're just losing people left and
- 16:29right and it's just tough, you know, like I don't, I don't have
- 16:36all the words for for everybody that's passing away.
- 16:39So like really love and, you know, love and and respect and
- 16:46follow your artists and keep your friends and family close,
- 16:49because I'm hearing a lot of very difficult stuff out there
- 16:53where people are just, you know, kind of leaving us.
- 16:57And so I don't want to, you know, I don't want to miss it to
- 17:04talk about these things, but you know, we're losing people all
- 17:07the time. And I just want everybody to,
- 17:09you know, just kind of like pay attention.
- 17:11If you you're like, Oh, I'll catch that band the next time.
- 17:15I've been guilty of this. I'll catch the band the next
- 17:17time. And then I just completely
- 17:19brain. Fart.
- 17:20What I'm supposed to do and I don't go see the band.
- 17:23So just keep keep following your bands and keep them close.
- 17:25And then this, obviously. Earlier this week, Adam Rainey
- 17:30of Dropout Kings from Arizona passed away.
- 17:32We don't know why. Young guy, 32, there's a
- 17:35GoFundMe helping to raise money for his wife and child.
- 17:40Young guy, decent band, sort of new, new metal.
- 17:43Arizona's got a very Phoenix and Tempe and and the general
- 17:47Arizona area has a very fertile music scene that's very tight
- 17:50knit. And we're sorry about this guy's
- 17:53loss also. And then yes, there you go.
- 17:56Christopher Hager, originally of Rough Cut and other bands, he
- 18:00died. A lot of people wrote about this
- 18:02guy, you know, just just a consummate professional.
- 18:07So very sad to hear about all these losses around the music
- 18:11world. And then again, yesterday was
- 18:13the 9th anniversary. Hard to believe the 9th
- 18:16anniversary of the passing of Nick Mason.
- 18:18This picture makes me alternately happy and sad.
- 18:21I'd love, I'm sorry, Nick Mason. Nick Menza.
- 18:23I got Pink Floyd on my brain. Hey, Curtis is here, my best
- 18:26friend in the world. Curtis, I don't know if you
- 18:28caught the little health. Update I gave about my my
- 18:31numbers from the lab. They're not great.
- 18:33They're OK. My A1C went up a little bit and
- 18:36my cholesterol still pretty damn high even with the meds.
- 18:41So I'm a little worried, but I'll be OK.
- 18:43But anyway, Nick Menza. This photo was taken at Nam
- 18:462016. Nick would pass away on stage
- 18:49doing what he loved play had a heart attack playing drums at
- 18:52the baked potato, which is a was was an LA area club.
- 18:56Not sure if it's still there. Maybe still is just Joe's
- 18:59passing by. What's up?
- 19:00Just Joe, huge fan, as you know, a brand new sin.
- 19:04Miss you miss that band. But yeah, Nick Manson passed
- 19:07away nine years ago yesterday. There's a documentary coming out
- 19:10from his former bandmate David Ellison's film company.
- 19:14This Was My Life. And this photo was taken by our
- 19:19own Molina Delamargio at Nam. And so Nick passed away in May,
- 19:24and Molina passed away. That August.
- 19:25So it's always very sad. When I I love this photo, but it
- 19:28also makes me, you know, reminds me of her a bit.
- 19:31So, you know, never far from our.
- 19:33Hearts and minds moving on. Just another reminder that this
- 19:39week was also the anniversary of the passing of Chris Cornell and
- 19:42the members of Soundgarden, especially Ben Shepard, who
- 19:45doesn't do much with the media, went and posted.
- 19:48About Cornell on his own social media that he doesn't do much
- 19:52and he was like, I'm waiting to pick up my kid from school and I
- 19:54had this thought like I miss Chris and what he did for us and
- 19:59hey concept cafes here as you could see if you're watching
- 20:01behind me when I get the screen back on with me on it.
- 20:05I still have my setup here from the interview.
- 20:08I had some band interviews earlier today.
- 20:10I have. I have travel coming up in a few
- 20:15hours so I have my bed is kind. Of a wreck right now, but it
- 20:17kind of looks cool. Yeah, Kurt, we're going to get
- 20:19it all set. Man, I already.
- 20:20Talked to Melissa about it too, so.
- 20:22We're going to be OK. It's only it's only up a whole
- 20:24point. It's not great, but it's still
- 20:27lower than it was when I went in the hospital a year ago.
- 20:29So it's OK. It's it's not the end of the
- 20:32world. I I know what I need to do,
- 20:33which is great. OK, back to me.
- 20:36More me. Let's see.
- 20:38Me, me, me, me. Me too.
- 20:40Here we go. And just a reminder, we're
- 20:42raising funds for our friend Lisa Mann.
- 20:44She had a terrible knee injury and recovery and leg injury.
- 20:47And you can, we'll put everything in our description
- 20:50where you can support her. She's a celebrated Blues artist.
- 20:53She's an incredible metal singer on her own Project, White.
- 20:55Crone as long as as. As well as Splintered Throne.
- 21:00It's not supposed to rhyme, but it kind of does.
- 21:03And yeah, we're trying to just help rate, you know, go to visit
- 21:06her socials, buy something from her band camp, anything helps.
- 21:10Punk Coco is here. J Mac FM is here.

- 21:22I only use extra virgin olive oil and no other cooking things.
- 21:27And apple cider vinegar. I might start taking the pills
- 21:30again. I had not been taking.
- 21:32Them and then just just 'cause we like fun things and fun
- 21:35things are fun. And again, we love dogs.
- 21:38This is our buddy Django. He's here with Nekro Butcher of
- 21:41Mayhem. They were both on their way to
- 21:43kill Euronymous. Should have killed Varg instead.
- 21:45And we are trying to get signatures for Django to get
- 21:48sainthood from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San
- 21:52Francisco. There's a Change.org.
- 21:54Just look at Django like Django Reinhardt or Django Unchained
- 21:58DGDJANGO and you know. Just we're trying to help our
- 22:05pupper get something fun and some recognition.
- 22:08So we're up to, we're trying to get those signatures up.
- 22:12And OK, that was long winded, but now we're going to blast
- 22:14through the features because I got to get out of doubt when
- 22:21these liquid deaths run out. I'm never drinking liquid death
- 22:23again, except the water because they changed the formula and it
- 22:27pisses me off. Just a reminder.
- 22:30Thanks for everybody who entered our giveaway for Punk Rock
- 22:35Bowling tickets. Punk Rock Bowling is this
- 22:37weekend festival. The coverage is coming up in a
- 22:39few seconds, but just that we just put this up front.
- 22:43Punk Rock Bowling, thank you so much for partnering with Ghost
- 22:45Call. Our own Wayne Edwards is going
- 22:46to cover it one more time for Ghost Call.
- 22:48And I'm really excited about his coverage.
- 22:51Great lineup, great band, great after show, super killer.
- 22:55Features and interviews this week it goes called our own Tom
- 22:58Osmond, our managing editor who runs our reviews team, is also a
- 23:02fantastic interviewer and he interviewed one of my.
- 23:05Favorite artist of all time, Jarbo or Jarbo?
- 23:09In the original French dialect, she used to perform with Swans.
- 23:14She has been a celebrated solo artist for 30 years.
- 23:17There's a brand. There's a lot of reissues
- 23:18happening right now with her current record label.
- 23:21And so Tom interviewed Jarboe all about her new reissue.
- 23:25Her whole career she worked with Philip Anselmo.
- 23:28I don't think a lot of people. Know that she worked with it
- 23:30Phil on a on a song once and a lot of other stories about all
- 23:34her different vocal stylings over the years and some of her
- 23:38tour stories. Really great in depth interview
- 23:41with an artist I love a lot. So you know that makes me super
- 23:44happy. Also this week my interview once
- 23:47again, I was pleased and honored to talk to Ricky Warwick.
- 23:50You know Ricky best from Finn. Lizzy and Black Star Riders and
- 23:55the Almighty. If you go back to the 80s, he
- 23:57kind of crosses punk, Hard Rock and singer-songwriter stuff.
- 24:01Ricky is wonderful. We talked to him from his house
- 24:03he's working on in Dublin. He kind of looked like he was in
- 24:06witness protection, but just a great guy technically spends his
- 24:11time. Between LA and and Ireland.
- 24:13And he's got a new. Solo album out Blood Ties on
- 24:16Earache. Records that is.
- 24:17Phenomenal, and I just always love talking this guy.
- 24:20Met him in. Person and he.
- 24:21Remembered that interaction years later when we started to
- 24:24do interviews again, so I've been very lucky to talk to him
- 24:28several times. And what a great guy.
- 24:30Also also Bobby Ferry from the sludge doom band 16.
- 24:35We caught up with him earlier in the year right before their new
- 24:38record which is out now on Relapse Records.
- 24:40Guides for the misguided. Don't miss it and check it out.
- 24:43Also, we ran an extra interview over the weekend with the band
- 24:47Enemy Inside from Germany. Kind of extreme metal, modern
- 24:51metal, not too far off from a Ginger or Lamb of God.
- 24:55Really cool band, capable of a lot of things.
- 24:58I think there's a lot of cool things in front of them.
- 25:00Sean is here. What up?
- 25:01What up Just me is here. Hey, just me passed by.
- 25:04Thanks. Just me Just me is an everyday
- 25:06or an A regular 1 and I appreciate you for passing by

- 25:15earlier. All these shows will be a
- 25:18podcast. Ghost called We have a podcast
- 25:21wherever you listen to podcasts. So you this show is going to be
- 25:24a podcast over the weekend and yeah, just stay tuned.
- 25:28A lot of cool stuff's coming up and we have some exclusive
- 25:30content on the podcast as well. And because I don't have enough
- 25:35to do, I am the Co host of the glacierly musical podcast.
- 25:38Beer, metal swear, vinyl, Hard Rock, NHL hockey, sometimes pop
- 25:42culture references, fights. The the host is Nick Cameron.
- 25:45I'm one of the Co hosts Kefi. The other Co host is Don.
- 25:48Delamont from Talking to Talk with Don, another excellent
- 25:51podcast and we are. In the middle of our series on
- 25:54Hearts Early Records, the one most people know is the first
- 25:58one. This is the probably their
- 25:59second most popular record, Little Queen.
- 26:01They look like they're at the Red Fair on the album cover.
- 26:04Check out all we all we talked about on this week.
- 26:07And in case you missed last week's special Chaser episode,
- 26:10we unboxed and reviewed the Pink Floyd documentary, live album,
- 26:17live video concert experience, live at Pompeii, lived in
- 26:21mythology and bootlegs for decades, released in the 70s and
- 26:25now finally back out, it had a little run in the movie.
- 26:27Theaters, I missed it. I'm pretty mad, but I've been
- 26:29watching it on on demand. A bit on a loop.
- 26:31Bill Nathanson is also here on Matheson.
- 26:33Not sure. But yeah, check out our.
- 26:35Last episode on Pink Floyd. If heart is not for you.
- 26:38And for the next series, we're going to get it back.
- 26:40To other more current bands, but we love heart.
- 26:43All right, that was all the pre stuff.
- 26:45And now it's time for the news rundown.
- 26:50And we always start the news rundown with festivals.
- 26:52As we said, punk rock bowling is this weekend, starts tomorrow.
- 26:56Maryland Death Fest started today.
- 26:58That welcome back Maryland Death Fest.
- 27:00So glad to be back the last couple years.
- 27:02They've already announced next year.
- 27:03I might have to get back to the East Coast for this next year,
- 27:07but hopefully sooner. Also also bottle rock now, but
- 27:10this is the festival I'm actually going to.
- 27:12I know it seems weird. We've covered it a few times
- 27:15before. Green Day, Sublime, Public
- 27:17Enemy, E40, Justin Timberlake. You know, not always my exact
- 27:25cup of tea musically, but I'm excited about this weekend.
- 27:27Great food, nice craft beer and drinks.
- 27:30I probably won't have many or any, and just a very chill and
- 27:35very pampering experience as a music journalist.
- 27:38I have slogged it out in the dirt and the sweat and the
- 27:41stink. With many of the great unwashed
- 27:44masses of metalheads and rockers.
- 27:45And I am your people, and you are my people.
- 27:47And I love you. But sometimes you just need the
- 27:49pinkies out and the fun experience.
- 27:51So Bottle Rock Napa this weekend I will be there all.
- 27:53Weekend if you happen to see me say hello.
- 27:56Boston Calling is also this weekend, and I kind of feel like
- 28:00these lineups have kind of fallen off a little bit in
- 28:02recent years. But this weekend, Luke Combs,
- 28:05Megan Maroney, Sheryl Crow, T Pain, TLC, Fall Out Boy, Avril
- 28:10Lavigne, Cage the Elephant, Black Crows, All time low, Dave
- 28:14Matthews Band, Vampire Weekend. Also Sublime, Also Public
- 28:17Enemies, so they're going to fly across the country several
- 28:20times. Tom Morello is here, Goth Babe
- 28:22is here. Spin Doctors.
- 28:23Wow, I don't even know they were touring.
- 28:25That's cool. So yeah, Boston Calling, not
- 28:27sure what's going on there, but seems like less and less rock
- 28:30and more and more pop and country.
- 28:34The Future Ruins Festival, which is the festival Trent Reznor
- 28:36from 9 Inch Nails has put out and is coming this November.
- 28:40The tickets went on sale yesterday for the pre sale.
- 28:42Tickets are on sale now for the regular tickets.
- 28:46I think the average ticket was 300 a piece and then the VIP was
- 28:51starting at 500. So right this second, I'm not
- 28:55going. I might like to still go.
- 28:56We'll see what things look like for me later in the year.
- 28:59And I don't know if they're doing press coverage because we
- 29:01haven't heard anything about it. Tie down festival is announced
- 29:04Turnstile. I got to say, I really love this
- 29:07era of turnstile where they're just, without even responding to
- 29:10people, they're just doing so much true school hardcore shit.
- 29:15They, you know, obviously they're immensely popular
- 29:17headlining festivals and headlining commercial festivals,
- 29:20playing the mainstage at Lollapalooza and having a song
- 29:23in the in Taco Bells food commercials.
- 29:26And then, you know, they get announced for Tie down, which is
- 29:30one of the best hardcore festivals there is coming up
- 29:35next weekend. So super cool, just announced.
- 29:37And then you know, they did like a free show in Baltimore and
- 29:40raise money for charity and also was like kids stage diving and
- 29:43playing like old school set. So they didn't forget where they
- 29:46came from. Also at Tie Down Fest.
- 29:48We'll talk a little bit more about this next week, but
- 29:50American Nightmare Foundation, a band called Speed Fiddlehead,
- 29:53judge from my hometown, the Hope conspiracy, trial Gridiron.
- 29:59This is pretty bad ass Regional Justice Center.
- 30:04Awesome. We'll talk more about.
- 30:05We'll get a little deep in the woods on it next week.
- 30:07Also, Speaking of hardcore, black and Blue Bowl is coming
- 30:10back. This.
- 30:11Weekend with Suicidal Tendencies, E Town, Concrete
- 30:15Vest Bid, Negative Force, Vietnam, Nom Nom and NYC

- 30:33Manson with POD Evans, Blue Sleep Theory and Stabbing
- 30:37Westward. And many more to be announced in
- 30:39Dallas, TX. That's hella cool and I love me
- 30:41some stabbing. Westward once again, happy
- 30:43birthday, Christopher. Danny Mann is here.
- 30:47What's up? What's up?
- 30:49Makes it for everybody that's watching on all the things.
- 30:51I appreciate you. It's good stuff.
- 30:55We are on the cusp of the next Warp Tour.
- 30:58I don't know that we're covering any of these.
- 31:00I'm really not that motivated right now to go down the Long
- 31:03Beach for this. But a bunch of bands did just
- 31:06get added, including Gore and Motionless and White.
- 31:10So that's super cool. And, you know, Warp Tour's
- 31:14getting a little bit metal in Florida, and then we'll see how
- 31:18the rest of them do. But you know, this is apparently
- 31:20just the beginning. Of Warp Tour's return.
- 31:23Art Tangent Fest announced their final headliner for this fall's
- 31:27festival. Godspeed you black Emperor.
- 31:30You have to read it with the correct punctuation.
- 31:34Also headlining ghost cult favorites were Truna, Leprous,
- 31:37Melvin's Arab Strap, We Lost the Sea, Kyleesa.
- 31:41Carnival, Mew, Green Lung, Maybe She Will Envy, Tesseract, Clown
- 31:46Corp, Rolo, Tomasi, and Between the Buried and Me among others,
- 31:50some playing multiple sets. I think Pelican is on here also
- 31:54lost in Kiev, pretty great festival.
- 31:56We covered it last year. We'll be covering.
- 31:58It again, I hope. Also coming up this summer, Burn
- 32:02Fest open air in Slovenia, Slovakia.
- 32:06What a interesting festival this is.
- 32:11Aeonian sorrow, ions, silent scream and a godless elegy.
- 32:17Slow fall. Such a cool, interesting,
- 32:20eclectic line up here bands make your logos a little more legible
- 32:23so I can read these off easier because I'm not wearing my.
- 32:26Glasses right now because they'll reflect in the light.
- 32:29Shiprock got announced for 2026, headlined by a special on ship
- 32:33performance of Hailstorm. To start the.
- 32:35The show along with Motionless and white Knock loose boy knock
- 32:39loose is everywhere. Wage war, AWOL nation, suicidal
- 32:42tendencies, avatar star set, sleep theory, ashes to new Kitty
- 32:4768 archetypes collide, a dinosaur pilot, the funeral
- 32:51portrait. I love House of protection Unity
- 32:54TXI love that this is going to be Greek themed, like the Greek
- 32:59mythology themed. And they use like the Greek
- 33:02diner font in the poster. And there's Poseidon or I guess
- 33:06Zeus with a lightning bolt. Poseidon's got to try it.
- 33:08Sorry, sorry everybody. OK this is fun.
- 33:16Sublime who are headlining these all these festivals and doing a
- 33:19tour starting this week and I will see them tomorrow.
- 33:23Fair and Loathing and Sublime in Las Vegas, taking over late
- 33:27August at the Park MGM, The Vandals, The Ataris, Long Beach
- 33:32Double Stars, bunch of other bands, activations and Hangouts
- 33:35with the bands and all kinds of other fun things.
- 33:39Sublime, good for them, good for Jacob Noel.
- 33:43I'm super excited to see them this weekend.
- 33:45Also also prepared the ground is coming that is the basically new
- 33:50North American Rd. Burn and this is in Toronto and
- 33:54a lot of bands are playing there coming up this weekend.
- 33:58So very exciting stuff. Also coming up this summer,
- 34:02Incarceration Festival, we'll be bringing you more news on this
- 34:05soon and hopefully getting back out there to cover it.
- 34:07I mentioned this recently, Maryland Dune Fest is fast
- 34:10approaching, about less than a month away and it is going to be
- 34:13the last Maryland Dune Fest. So please come out if you can
- 34:17and support them and hopefully they'll continue to release,
- 34:19book other shows or maybe come back someday.
- 34:21Also also just a reminder, Bloodstock Open Air that we
- 34:24cover every year, they are still doing a 20% off ticket buy with
- 34:31EMP their principal merch sponsor.
- 34:33Their principal sponsor EMP is a huge merch company in Europe.
- 34:36Pearson Ken is here from piercing Metal NYC.
- 34:39Please go follow him on all the things.
- 34:41Thanks Ken, it was good talking to you earlier.
- 34:44I did the very come to Jesus E I'm not you know, I'm OK, but I
- 34:48could be doing better slide at the beginning of this show, in
- 34:52case you missed it, where I talked about my numbers.
- 34:55Also again, night shift party weekend is coming up in
- 34:58September and this looks sick. I love seeing the red cord and
- 35:02fuming mouth and incantation all on the same bill.
- 35:05That's awesome. Concert time.
- 35:07That was all the festivals. Now it's time for concerts.
- 35:09I'm sure there's some more. We're getting into the woods on
- 35:11these summer. You know, Hell Fest is coming
- 35:14up. Download is coming up.
- 35:16Vodka and Open air is coming up. Ghost Cult is a principal media
- 35:19sponsor of the Battle for Vodka and the Vodka Battle Medal,
- 35:26Battle of the Bands all over the world.
- 35:27We are a media sponsor. Our logo is on their posters and
- 35:31stuff and on their site, so it's kind of cool.
- 35:32Jared is here. Metallica, boy, just when you
- 35:37start going to sleep on them. I was convinced they will not be
- 35:40on the road next year, but they will be because they announced
- 35:422026 M 72 shows. Hopefully they're going to make
- 35:46a new record in here somewhere. Maybe not.
- 35:48This could be it, I don't know. They're doing Europe one night
- 35:52only in a bunch of cities, Athens, Bucharest, Torresau,
- 35:57Zurich, Berlin, Bologna, Glasgow and Cardiff, Wales.
- 36:02And then they're doing the no repeat weekends in Frankfurt,
- 36:05Budapest. You and I remember Budapest very
- 36:07differently. Black Widow, Dublin and London.
- 36:13Curtis, maybe that's our time to go to Dublin and see Metallica
- 36:16in Dublin next June. I don't know.
- 36:17I'd be kind of. Badass.
- 36:20And so for these main. Shows I'm just.
- 36:23Going to hide these comments for a quick second.
- 36:25For these main shows, the one night only is it's Gojira and
- 36:28Knock Loose. And for the no repeat weekends
- 36:31it's Pantera and Avatar. I think this is fantastic.
- 36:35First of all, phenomenal news for Avatar and Knock Loose, but
- 36:39really cool to get Gojira back with Metallica.
- 36:41They toured together previously in the past, so yeah.
- 36:46And then also Metallica continues their touring this
- 36:49weekend. They're in Philadelphia tomorrow
- 36:52and Sunday, Tampa, Santa Clara out here by me.
- 36:55Don't think I'm going right now. Denver.
- 36:58I think we're still have Charlotte, Atlanta and Houston
- 37:02to go on this tour wrapping up on June 29th.
- 37:10Also also more fallout from the Trivium and Bullet for My
- 37:13Valentine drama. The seems like Bullet for My
- 37:17Valentine is just going to go back in the studio and have to
- 37:19make up these tour dates in in 2026.
- 37:23Trivium is going to book additional shows.
- 37:25And kind of. Try to complete the tour, but
- 37:28what a bummer. Again, it's hard to, you know,
- 37:31but some of these tours of book years in advance and yeah, hey,
- 37:34we used to get along and maybe now we don't get along.
- 37:37You know, I don't know what happened there, but we continue
- 37:40to hear public and private. Rumblings about this stuff?
- 37:45Also also just in case you missed it, Sean Kinney of Alice
- 37:49In Chains. He's another person.
- 37:51He rarely uses social media. He put a statement out through
- 37:54the band and said and his own social media like Instagram and
- 37:57said hey, I'm going to be OK. Nobody hates canceling the show
- 38:00more than me. I could not go.
- 38:02The doctor said I could not go. We had.
- 38:04We hate to cancel the tour. I will be back and we will try
- 38:08to make it up to fans, but there's no rebooking these shows
- 38:11right now. But he felt he does feel bad,
- 38:13but he's also a lot, you know, people get sick.
- 38:15What are you going to do? We don't know yet if Alice In
- 38:18Chains, that means they will not be at the Black Sabbath show in
- 38:20July. They're supposed to be at the
- 38:21farewell Black Sabbath and Ozzy show.
- 38:24We shall see again. System of a Down is touring all
- 38:28of South America and continues to share this drone footage.
- 38:31I don't know how they let people into festivals in in other
- 38:35countries with fireworks like Roman candles and flares and
- 38:38giant sparklers, but apparently they were all over the place in
- 38:41this video and we are fast approaching the system of a down
- 38:46arena show. Stadium shows is incredible.
- 38:49Football stadiums in America. Last couple of weekends of the
- 38:52ACDC High Voltage tour they had to cancel what their show this
- 38:58week in Nashville due to inclement weather.
- 39:00Unsure of the makeup date. They have a couple of more shows
- 39:04to go this weekend. Chicago and Cleveland next week.
- 39:07Before they put a pin in it. For now we channel C It's like
- 39:14I'm getting a notification that my scripts are ready to pick up.
- 39:16I will get. Them on my way out of town,
- 39:18Lorna Shore dropped the new single in video, announced a
- 39:20brand new album and Black Dahlia, Murderer, Shadow of
- 39:24Intent are all opening. Holy cow, what a tour.
- 39:28And they're doing big venues, amphitheaters and things.
- 39:31This is after Lauren Shore has opened for Mastodon and Gojira
- 39:34and Lamb of God for a whole year.
- 39:36Dillinger Compound has arrived. Aren't you excited?
- 39:38I am. Excited.
- 39:39No, I am Dillinger. I am excited.
- 39:41I did do a personal health update at the beginning and I
- 39:45did talk about a lot of the festival and things that are
- 39:48pursuant to your interest. But her hang out.
- 39:50Maybe they'll be more. Jerry Cantrell dropped the new
- 39:53music video today and announced more I Want Blood tour dates
- 39:57with Filter. These are going to be the last
- 39:59dates of the year for Jerry again.
- 40:00Probably no more Alice In Chains shows except the England show
- 40:05for Black Sabbath and Ozzy. If they can make it, maybe only
- 40:07Jerry can make it. But.
- 40:08This is a. Cool looking run later in the
- 40:11year going all the way across the country.
- 40:13Not coming to my town but going from San Diego all the way to
- 40:17the East Coast in the Midwest, supposedly the last shows ever,
- 40:21Oceano, Rose, Funeral, Filth, Larcenia, Rowan and Furious.
- 40:26You know there was a lot of drama about this tour.
- 40:29Jay C and Pucciato, Yep. Is Dillinger.
- 40:31That is true. That is true, that is true.
- 40:33I just meant like the festival appearances specifically to
- 40:35Dillinger. But you are correct Sir Greg.
- 40:37I'm excited to see Greg again. Unleash The Archers has a couple
- 40:41of UK shows that were just there a while back late last year and
- 40:45now they're back again for a couple of shows in the UK before
- 40:47they head off to Europe to do festivals.
- 40:50Very excited for them. The Juno award-winning Canadian
- 40:53power and heavy metal and thrash metal band that we've
- 40:55interviewed before. Jab's got a couple of tour dates
- 40:58coming up later this year circling around Desert Fest
- 41:01Antwerp in Belgium. Last we talked to JAB about a
- 41:06year ago, we talked to Mike Shite and he said they really
- 41:09hadn't started working on music yet, but I am hopeful.
- 41:12Scooter is here. What's up, Scooter?
- 41:14Scooter. I gave a very mixed health
- 41:16report on myself to start the show.
- 41:17I just told that to Dillinger and Ken and Curtis, all the
- 41:20everydayers. And regular ones are here and
- 41:22real ones. I appreciate you and the news is
- 41:26mixed. My A1C is up, my cholesterol is
- 41:28up, my blood pressure is better, my weight is down a little.
- 41:32So much work to do to start the summer, but I'm going to be OK.
- 41:35I got some new kicks. I can walk anywhere.
- 41:38I'm going to get it together again.
- 41:39Make sure you catch Jesus Lizard in Europe and Japan.
- 41:42I just saw them here in the States and they were amazing.
- 41:44I was really surprised how how enjoyable it was.
- 41:47Scooter is here also on this place.
- 41:49He's here too. It's Scooter the man, the myth,
- 41:53the legend. Some interesting stuff.
- 41:57Take ass baby aspirin. Yeah, fucking bear fucking
- 42:01poisoners. But anyway, yeah, I know.
- 42:02I need a baby aspirin. Fun fact, I was just kind of
- 42:10scrolling the doom scroll along and I saw that Tankard is has
- 42:18not played in England in like forever.
- 42:20And fans were bitching at them because they've been announcing
- 42:23shows in the rest of Europe. And they were like, why in the F
- 42:27aren't you coming to England? And so the band responded.
- 42:32We actually haven't gotten a good offer, like an actual
- 42:35respectable offer for money to come to England in a long time.
- 42:38And remember that because of the the Brexit right, the exit of
- 42:45Britain from the EU, there are tariffs and there are fees and
- 42:49there are visa requirements that bands have to pay to go between
- 42:52the two countries. Used to just be able to go
- 42:55freely everywhere. And now there's all kinds of
- 42:57rules and extra money. Just like it's going to be hard
- 42:59in coming years for European bands to come here and
- 43:02Scandinavian bands to come here and for our bands to go overseas
- 43:06going to be much more hard and difficult and expensive.
- 43:09But just fun to see the bands being honest, transparent.
- 43:13Hey, we actually haven't gotten a real legitimate offer to come
- 43:16over there in a long time. I wish someone would, sorry,
- 43:19complain to your promoters and then just for some fun, War the
- 43:24band War, Why can't we be friends?
- 43:26Low Rider the song War Slipping in the Darkness.
- 43:30They are on a 50th anniversary tour this summer, starting off
- 43:33in Dublin and rolling through the major cities in Western
- 43:39Europe. Super cool.

- 45:41Absolutely incredible. I expect nothing less.
- 45:43Devin is a hero. He's amazing.
- 45:44He's a hero of mine. Tesseract's always good, too.
- 45:48I don't think I could ever play barefoot on some of these stages
- 45:51that are gross and grody. Like my man there, Amos, but not
- 45:57me. But yeah, all right, we're on
- 46:00All the Things. Twitch threads, Blue Sky,
- 46:03Discord, Reddit. Find us there.
- 46:06All the things OK News of the week.
- 46:10Three weeks after Ghost had the number one record in four or
- 46:13five countries and had the most records sold by a Hard Rock band
- 46:17in four years. That record was already beaten
- 46:21by Double by Sleep Token. People either love or hate this
- 46:24band just like Ghosts. They wear masks just like
- 46:27Ghosts. They are commercially viable and
- 46:29acceptable heavy metal related adjacent just like Ghost.
- 46:34I personally like the new album. A lot of people are hating on
- 46:37it. Is it their best album?
- 46:38Hardly. No.
- 46:39But it's pretty solid and they sold a mind breaking 122,000
- 46:45physical copies of Even In Arcadia, their brand new album.
- 46:49Holy cow. The paradigm has shifted and
- 46:53we're in the new era. Folks, this is your this is your
- 46:57new guard of metal, for better or worse.
- 46:59Tell me how you feel about that and shocking news that hit last
- 47:04weekend. Last Friday, the Foo Fighters
- 47:07fired Josh Freeze, one of the most decorated, celebrated and
- 47:11busiest drummers in the world. You know him from the Vandals,
- 47:15which he's been in since he was a teenager.
- 47:17He's also in a perfect circle. He's also been in Devo, which I
- 47:22saw him play live with. He's incredible and he was a
- 47:25great addition. I saw one of his first shows
- 47:27with Foo Fighters and Ride Fest 2023 and he was amazing, but he
- 47:31was called and let go with no reason given and then he gave a
- 47:34top 10 reasons why he was let go.
- 47:36And I think the first one was the funniest 1.
- 47:38He was like, I whistled my hero for a week straight with Onstop,
- 47:43which is like a very Josh thing to do.
- 47:46But he'll be fine. He's going to get, you know,
- 47:48he's busy and he's going to get another job soon and he's
- 47:50probably playing that Vandal show opening up for Sublime in
- 47:54Vegas this summer. So I don't think he cares.
- 47:56It was a good paycheck, I'm sure probably the best paycheck he's
- 47:58ever gotten in his life. Also, a lot of you were falling
- 48:03for scams on on social media. Netflix is not making
- 48:07documentaries about a lot of metal films, but one metal film
- 48:11that is getting made, a documentary about a metal band
- 48:13that is happening is Judas Priest.
- 48:16Pierce and Ken's gonna Jet. Thanks, Ken.
- 48:18Appreciate you being here. We'll talk to you.
- 48:20Yup. Congrats on 15 years on the
- 48:22brand on that Channel. Mike says fuck sleep token.
- 48:26All right, fair enough. Tell me if you like or hate
- 48:29them. Yep, black and blue this
- 48:30weekend. Dillinger.
- 48:31We talked about that just a second ago.
- 48:32Also Dillinger related. So Judas Priest got a
- 48:35documentary coming out Co directed by Sam Dunn and Banger
- 48:39Films and Tom Morello who loves Jews.
- 48:42Priest as you know, so you know. Good stuff, good stuff there.
- 48:47That is actually happening. Unlike a lot of documentaries,
- 48:49you see fake profiles, postings that are not real news.
- 48:53You can only get real news from Ghost Cult.
- 48:56Lisa's here. And Lisa, we are still
- 48:59supporting you and trying to encourage people to follow all
- 49:02your things and buy something from you to help your recovery.
- 49:05I hope you're getting along well.
- 49:08And I look forward to connecting with you again soon for some new
- 49:11music in the near future or as soon as possible for you.
- 49:15But you know, please keep healing up and getting.
- 49:18Better. We love you.
- 49:20We don't. We can't.
- 49:21You can't love everyone. You're not supposed to have
- 49:22favorites, but Lisa is one of my favorite people there is.
- 49:25I have to say. Nova Twins have a new single
- 49:28out. New album coming soon.
- 49:29They just had a new album last year.
- 49:31Prolific, prolific young band hopping around on crutches.
- 49:34Well, I hate to see the other guy but but yeah, Nova Twins new
- 49:39single, new album coming soon. Guns and Roses had one of the
- 49:42best cell phones I have ever seen in my entire life this
- 49:45week. Last weekend Guns and Roses
- 49:48played India for the first time in 15 years and Axel promptly
- 49:53fell right on his face on stage. And by Monday Guns and Roses
- 49:58official account put a compilation of like 2 years of
- 50:01stage falls by Axel. You know, people pick on these
- 50:04guys for getting older and still getting up there.
- 50:06I saw G&R twice in the last 10 years since this reunion
- 50:12started, and they were phenomenal.
- 50:13Maybe they weren't always phenomenal for everybody that
- 50:15saw them. Can Axel sing as good as he did
- 50:17when he was 30 or 20? No, but he's still pretty solid.
- 50:21It's all the notes. The band is fantastic.
- 50:23Be interesting. They're on tour with their brand
- 50:25new drummer, Isaac Carpenter. So yeah, Axel, if you want to
- 50:31see something funny, go to G&R on Instagram and watch Axel fall
- 50:34on his face in his ass and off the stage like 100 times.
- 50:37Probably not funny for you, Lisa, after you heard that hurt
- 50:40Ben Weitman will be performing the E town.
- 50:42Oh, that's sick. That's great.
- 50:44I hope so. It's like watching Nash NASCAR
- 50:48after the crashes. That's right, Wipeout.
- 50:52Marty Freeman is going to be put putting out his recent memoir
- 50:56that I interviewed him about last year as an audio book and
- 51:00in English and Japanese. So stay tuned for that.
- 51:02Marty continues to tour, make great solo albums, and I just
- 51:06feel very lucky. That I got to chat.
- 51:08With Marty, after all these years, I met him once back in
- 51:10the day, and now I got to interview him and that was
- 51:12really killer. Becoming Led Zeppelin continues
- 51:16to break every record. It's still somehow in theaters,
- 51:21they're still having IMAX showings, and it's all on demand
- 51:24and streaming and video on demand wherever you are in your
- 51:26different countries. But there's a special screening
- 51:29in June with the director and the producer.
- 51:32Then you're going to watch the film and then Q&A with them
- 51:34about the experience. Maybe members of Zeppelin will
- 51:37show up. No guarantees, but could be cool
- 51:41also. Also, this is Delilah Bond, a
- 51:43brand new and up and coming artist who's got a new single
- 51:45out and a new album coming soon. Look at this cool sort of half
- 51:48microphone stand that kind of looks like a weapon.
- 51:51I don't know if it's a spoiler. I don't know if it's like ripped
- 51:54off a Jonathan Davis's microphone HR dieger microphone
- 51:58thing, but yeah, pretty cool. Morris Sound Recording, the
- 52:02legendary Florida studio that made every great death metal
- 52:06album you love from Tampa or bands that relocated to Tampa,
- 52:10got memorialized with a historic county marker in Florida this
- 52:16week. There was a ceremony and
- 52:17everything. It was really cool.
- 52:18You can see the video. Very cool.
- 52:22Nick Nocturnal, if you're into Youtubers who do stuff, I have
- 52:26said repeatedly that I think the age of the influencer is going
- 52:29to start fizzling out and it's going to fizzle out first in the
- 52:31places where it's not as ubiquitous.
- 52:33Like we have our own little culture of influencers and I'm
- 52:36not knocking them. I just think people are tired of
- 52:38them. So Nick Nocturnal, who is a
- 52:40great musician and started by doing, you know, covers and
- 52:44songs and style, you know, metal core and how to make a metal
- 52:48core song in 30 seconds or whatever, became a humongous
- 52:51celebrity at the Knick Nocturnal Awards.
- 52:53He has finally hit his limit and his wall, and he's taking a
- 52:57permanent hiatus from release. Making content and being an
- 53:01influencer and being on YouTube. His channel is going to change.
- 53:04He's not going to have this kind of content anymore.
- 53:06But he did put out a brand new EP of unreleased songs with a
- 53:09bunch of metal core celebrity singers, which is also fun.
- 53:14But I, I like Nick, I got to interview Nick also and he was
- 53:17really great to us and I really appreciate him for everything
- 53:20he's done. And it'd be interesting to see
- 53:21him just make music in bands for a while and just do guitar
- 53:24content. Maybe Nick Deep's got a new
- 53:26single out. If you could see me now.
- 53:28That's pretty killer. They have some touring coming up
- 53:30too. Oh, I went too fast.
- 53:32Chevelle has dropped the full formal video for their new
- 53:36single, their new albums coming up soon.
- 53:38They're playing all the things I mentioned.
- 53:39Some festivals they're on earlier.
- 53:42Fugitive's got a new song out. This is members of Power Trip
- 53:45and other bands and we're they signed a new record deal and I
- 53:50think we're going to get, there's some very substantiative
- 53:54rumors that Power Trip is going to sign a record deal soon and
- 53:58put out a new album at least later this year or early this
- 54:00year. We'll see how people feel about
- 54:02it. Maddie Matheson's Pig Pen band
- 54:06was on Hard Lore Maddie hardcore kid he talked about how he was a
- 54:10hardcore music fan first before he got into chef school and find
- 54:14food and. Things, and now his.
- 54:15Band is on the rise so I'm very excited for their new EP to come
- 54:19out. Here is COC with their first new
- 54:23band photo since Mike Dean left the band.
- 54:27This is with Stanton Moore of Galactic who's working on this
- 54:30new record and when they shared this.
- 54:32I love this, like, Southwestern sweater that Pepper is wearing.
- 54:35Pepper. Pepper continues to get, like,
- 54:37older and better looking like a wizard.
- 54:39He's insane, right? But I love this.
- 54:41And so fans were asking, is Stanton gonna do the entire
- 54:44tour? And he said select date.
- 54:46So I don't know if that means they have another drummer in the
- 54:48works. If they are going to go back to
- 54:50their former drummer John Green, who's in the UK, it might be
- 54:54hard for him to get over here. I'm not sure.
- 54:56But you know, COC is going on the road with Cooper and Priest
- 54:59and all these festivals and things and a new COC record.
- 55:02At least one new song. Will probably be coming out in
- 55:05the fall and we will get a new record probably in early first
- 55:08quarter 20. 26 I am guessing also also.
- 55:12Black Flag announced. A new line up last weekend we
- 55:15were talking about rumors I had I didn't want to post anything
- 55:18that I couldn't prove but I knew for a long time that black flags
- 55:21black flags lineup was done and it's just red getting left.
- 55:25So the Internet will never let you forget and here's the one of
- 55:29the worst commercials and worst scam things of all time is one
- 55:33800-1877 cars for kids. The money does not go to kids.
- 55:38I'll just put it there. And so this picture of little
- 55:40kids in the TV commercial. Is the new black.
- 55:42Flag right with the SST logo and an old school press photo.
- 55:46How funny. How funny the jiggy.
- 55:48Wizard is here. What's up Jiggy wizard all?
- 55:52Righty, all right. We're almost done here, folks.
- 55:56Dropkick Murphys continue to troll, and this is a picture of
- 56:02Dropkick Murphy's. I don't like AI that much, but
- 56:05here's an AI version of Muppet or Sesame Street character
- 56:09Dropkick Murphy's, and they shared this post to remind
- 56:11people that PBS has never hurt your kids, it's only helped your
- 56:15kids. NPR has only helped educate and
- 56:17inform people, and this kind of government attack on the media
- 56:21is fucking dumb and a point and a rant.
- 56:25I agree. Worst song ever, and maybe the
- 56:26worst song. Worse than Friday, worse than
- 56:28Gangnam Style, worse than anything I can remember,
- 56:32including anything I hate by Journey.
- 56:34Oh my God, that song and that and they're scammers on top of
- 56:37everything else. Nova Twins.
- 56:39Thank you. Blackie Chan, I appreciate that.
- 56:41The health stuff's important. Thank you, Ken, I appreciate
- 56:44you. You're absolutely right, it is
- 56:45the most important thing, so I don't feel like I completely
- 56:48back slid because I did lose some weight and my blood
- 56:52pressure is getting better because they did not increase my
- 56:54blood pressure medicine but there will be an increase of my
- 56:58my diabetes. Medicine is going to.
- 57:00Be tweaked so maybe it helps also.
- 57:03Also Speaking of bands reuniting.
- 57:07This is Sensanium. I don't know if I'm saying that
- 57:10correctly. And this is the band that was
- 57:12once led by Joey Jordison, late of Slipknot.
- 57:15He died 4 years ago now, God damn it.
- 57:18And they? Put out a new.
- 57:19Single this week they have a new album coming out and I got to
- 57:22tell you the single and this is a super group of people anyway,
- 57:25even without Joey, they have Joey's former student in drum
- 57:28tech as the drummer and it has member.
- 57:30It's Sean from Doth and Attila Shahr from Mayhem on guitar, and
- 57:36I mean, it's just an unbelievable band.
- 57:39This is their new record that's coming out soon, and I'll tell
- 57:42you if the. Rest of this.
- 57:43Record is like this one song. This will be one of the albums
- 57:47of the year. Like top five, top ten,
- 57:49certainly top death metal records of the year.
- 57:51Absolutely. Go check this single out.
- 57:53The Devastation is the single and the album title.
- 57:56There's just some fun. A fun.
- 57:58Meme here with Nigel Tufnell at the Doctors.
- 58:00I'm afraid it's worse than tendonitis, Mr. Tufnell.
- 58:03It's 11. Deny this.
- 58:05These go to 11 and so does my illness and my light just went
- 58:07out but. OK, I still look pretty, pretty
- 58:10pinkish here in the background, all right.
- 58:11We're almost done, folks. C DS still matter.
- 58:14I do like this meme. I'm going to.
- 58:15Share this more this weekend also all righty it's time for
- 58:19New Music Friday, and you know we're in the thick of the

- 1:02:19You watch this far, you made it to almost the end of the show at
- 1:02:23a reasonable one hour. I got to get out of town in an
- 1:02:26hour and a half. And I have not packed for the
- 1:02:30weekend yet. But I tend.
- 1:02:32To pack quickly, this your last chance.
- 1:02:35Give us a. Donation.
- 1:02:36Feel free to tip us. And some questions in the.
- 1:02:39Comments. I'm here to try to help but it's
- 1:02:42time for the last section of the show which is always the
- 1:02:45mailbag. And I'm a very special and
- 1:02:47personal mailbag this week since I did a very special episode
- 1:02:50with Kefi at the beginning about my health and I've been
- 1:02:53yammering on about my health issues as I sip this agave
- 1:02:55nectar sparkling water. I'm not a new girlfriend.
- 1:03:00I talked about that I'm super happy and in love and all the
- 1:03:03happy, fun, fuzzy feeling things and she got me an awesome gift
- 1:03:07and I wanted to share this gift with the world.
- 1:03:09This is not a paid sponsorship. I certainly would love an
- 1:03:12affiliate deal with them or some free shit from them.
- 1:03:15I've only had two of their products, different scent
- 1:03:19products, and they're phenomenal.
- 1:03:20If you or a guy, you don't want to be stinky, you want to smell
- 1:03:25nice, but you also don't want to be like disgusting when you
- 1:03:27enter a room and your odor of Cologne or deodorant just
- 1:03:32overwhelms fucking people. I once had a girl tell me that
- 1:03:35my body wash smelled like pine salt.
- 1:03:37I think something was mentally wrong with her.
- 1:03:38Not me, but fabled beard company.
- 1:03:41They also have a line of women's products.
- 1:03:44Also this is for your beard care washes.
- 1:03:47Beard products, shampoos, deodorants, all kinds of things,
- 1:03:52body rubs, all things. And originally she got me the
- 1:03:55beard washes. She knows I take good care of my
- 1:03:57beard and I like smelling good. So she got me this scent, the
- 1:04:00gin, and this other one a few weeks back, like a month ago.
- 1:04:04This is Mystic Wood scented and this is the Yeah the.
- 1:04:09Marksman They have cool names like the writer, the bar, the
- 1:04:12Marksman and so I the. Genie.
- 1:04:15The gin, so the scent that I really like is the Gin the
- 1:04:20Marksman is my second favorite scent so far.
- 1:04:22And then in addition to these beard washes, 1 is at her house
- 1:04:25and this one's at my house. This is the Marksman is she sent
- 1:04:28me a gift of two more of their products in the scent that we
- 1:04:31both like the most. I got to tell you, it's
- 1:04:34irresistible to anybody, men, women, they, them, whoever.
- 1:04:42So I got this deodorant and I'm very particular about deodorant
- 1:04:45on my body. I don't use antiperspirants and
- 1:04:47I don't like chemically stuff. So I use like a very basic white
- 1:04:51guy deodorant. But this is the Trickster missed
- 1:04:55scent, AKA the gin, and it smells amazing.
- 1:04:58It's mostly a beeswax A beeswax product.
- 1:05:03Aluminum. Free.
- 1:05:05It's got some Shea butter, coconut, beeswax and a few other
- 1:05:11fragrances thing fragrancy things that are organic and all
- 1:05:15natural mostly. And I've used this a few times.
- 1:05:18I don't sweat, it feels good, it smells great.
- 1:05:21It lasts all day. I walk to and from the Emperor
- 1:05:24show and you know, the Emperor show, there's some bad smelling
- 1:05:27people with the metal show. I was not a bad smelling person
- 1:05:30at the metal show. This is phenomenal.
- 1:05:31And then I don't really wear a lot of Cologne in general, but I
- 1:05:34use this like body spray, Cologne spray again, the
- 1:05:37Trickster mixed scent, the gin. Kind of smells like sandalwood,
- 1:05:42which is what? Some of my beard oils and my
- 1:05:44beard oil my beard products are made from and made with so I
- 1:05:47really I can't. Again, this is not a paid
- 1:05:49sponsorship. Check out Fable Beard Company
- 1:05:52and their sister company which escapes me right now but.
- 1:05:56You want to. You want to smell good?
- 1:05:58You want to be good. You want to not put chemicals in
- 1:06:01and on your body if you can help it.
- 1:06:02I know coming from me that sounds wild, but it's true.
- 1:06:05And then take care of yourselves because you don't want to be
- 1:06:09gross. A lot of people out there don't
- 1:06:11know how to wash or clean themselves or whatever.
- 1:06:13And honestly, I'm embarrassed for other men.
- 1:06:16But anyway, that's the mailbag. And that.
- 1:06:18Means that's the show and I had to get out of Dodge.
- 1:06:20So once again, there's the cue card and just, you know, you
- 1:06:24could spend this time with anybody.
- 1:06:25Thanks so much for hanging out with me and watching our show.
- 1:06:28It's Memorial Day weekend. If you've got a long weekend,
- 1:06:31celebrate, but please don't drink and drive.
- 1:06:33Please take care of yourselves. Take the keys from somebody
- 1:06:35who's too smashed to drive. Send them home an Uber.
- 1:06:38You can figure it out the next day.
- 1:06:40It doesn't matter. And as we say every week at this
- 1:06:42juncture to the show, it's a tough time in the world.
- 1:06:44So please. Take care of.
- 1:06:45Yourselves, take care of each other, stay as metal as humanly
- 1:06:49possible. And I'm going to dance a jig on
- 1:06:51the way out. Thanks for hanging with me, I
- 1:06:52really appreciate you Peace and have a good one.
