  I have like a little deck that I make a script that I follow.
• 2:08
  Let's get it to work. Here it is, a little thumbnail
• 2:12

  We're going to unbox a bunch of merch later in the show,
• 2:42
  breakdown all the records that are coming out this week.
• 2:44
  So much to do on this holiday weekend and I've got a busy one

  fashioned, but I still do care. We always start this with the
• 3:04
  announcements, so let's get right into it.
• 3:08
  Of course it is Star Wars weekend.
• 3:13
  The Mandalorian and Grogu hit movies tonight.

  I am probably not going to get to see it until later next week
• 3:20
  or next weekend just because my schedule will not allow what up,
• 3:23
  Eli Santana, Good to see you here, homie.
• 3:27
  Former interviewee on our show. But yeah, tell me if you're
• 3:31
  excited about Star Wars. I'm clearly excited, although in
• 3:35
  the thumbnail I am wearing a Terminator shirt, so I
• 3:37
  definitely have crossed the streams on my things.
• 3:41
  Dre Booker is here. What up, Dre?
• 3:43

  them once again. We recently hit pass 1,900,000
• 5:16
  viewers on YouTube. That is over 13 years.
• 5:20
  So I know that a lot of people just get like 1,000,000 views, a
• 5:24
  video, but I'm just grateful to do what I do.
• 5:31
  What's up, Ron, Ron Kron. OK, So what else?
• 5:41
  Just a reminder, our album of the month this month is
• 5:44
  Corrosion of Conformity for their brand new album that came
• 5:47
  out last month, Good God, Bad Man on Nuclear Blast Records.
• 5:51
  We've got an interview with Bobby Landgraf, their new
• 5:54
  bassist on our channel. You can check that out too.
• 6:00
  So pretty, pretty tight right there.
• 6:04
  Also also we dropped a couple of premieres this week.
• 6:06
  Really proud of this one. Pandemic Unleashed is a Southern
• 6:10
  California long running South Southern California thrash and
• 6:13
  Hard Rock band and Ghost Cults own Morgan Y Evans is the
• 6:19
  vocalist of that group and Co songwriter.
• 6:23
  And they dropped a brand new single Drowning their first with
• 6:25
  Morgan on vocals. And they've been touring and not
• 6:29
  quite on tour but opening a lot of regional shows in Southern
• 6:34
  California. GAIL Elliott is here, Annette is
• 6:36
  here. What up, what up, what up Davion
• 6:42
  Justine. It's nice to see some late
• 6:45
  nighters filtering through on all the channels.
• 6:49
  Good to see you also also, this is a Mr. Mantal.
• 6:54
  They well, Captain Mantel. They dropped a new single at
• 6:58
  Ghost Cult. They have a new album coming out
• 7:00
  soon, Not human. Very exciting stuff for them.
• 7:03
  That's on OverDrive Records. Last week we dropped the new
• 7:05
  single from Band Guides, the Pittsburgh power trio post
• 7:10
  hardcore band for fans of Poison the Well and bands like that.
• 7:15
  They dropped the new single Drain some metal history.
• 7:20
  And we always start with kind of the sad news first.
• 7:23
  Chris Cornell's anniversary of his passing.
• 7:26
  Almost 10 years gone. Nine years passed away.
• 7:29
  Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog
• 7:33
  and his awesome solo career. Very sad.
• 7:35
  I never really recovered from Chris passing away.
• 7:40
  I've been doing a lot of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell
• 7:44
  and Audioslave at karaoke. I do some metal karaoke that I
• 7:49
  host as well as attend. Also.
• 7:52
  It was the 16th anniversary of the death of Ronnie James Dio.
• 7:56
  Super sad. You know, he died really young
• 8:01
  and at 67 and we are just losing all our heroes.
• 8:05
  But 16 years now. Joey Ramone would have
• 8:10
  celebrated his 75th birthday. And it was a big bash in New
• 8:13
  York City from his brother Mickey Lee and really cool cast
• 8:19
  of characters that came out to celebrate Joey and the Ramones,
• 8:23
  of course, also Doctor Cook legend.
• 8:28
  This is this one kind of surprised me.
• 8:30
  But again, it's like sort of the rung of artists that I don't
• 8:34
  always think about. You know, I hate to sound like
• 8:39
  that, but sometimes it's just like, oh, I don't know.
• 8:43
  I don't know everything and I don't know everybody, but Dennis
• 8:47
  Locieri died at 76. I don't have the details on how,
• 8:52
  but I think it was after an illness.
• 8:55
  Moose is passing by. What up?
• 8:57
  What up, What up? Good to see you.
• 9:00
  Thanks for stopping by. We're doing Rocket Metal News
• 9:03
  for the weekend. Some birthdays this week.
• 9:06
  Trent Reznor and Josh Ham both celebrated a birthday on Sunday.
• 9:14
  What's up Rob? Good to see you Kenny from Type
• 9:19
  O Negative and Sun Don't shine. His birthdays today.
• 9:21
  A lot of birthdays this week. Where were you on May 20th,
• 9:27
  1996? Because that's when Metallica
• 9:29
  dropped Until it sleeps. I know I was freaking out
• 9:33
  because this was not my Metallica, but you know in in
• 9:36
  the end I ended up liking Load and Reload.
• 9:38
  I don't love them, but I like them.
• 9:39
  They have some great songs. I think they would have been
• 9:41
  better as one whole album. But tell me, do you load is
• 9:46
  getting reload and load got a real a new box set?
• 9:51
  There's a lot of anniversary stuff going on for Load as it is
• 9:54
  the 30th anniversary of Load. Oh my God, crazy that Freeman
• 10:00
  guy is here. Albums celebrating a
• 10:04
  anniversary. Also this week in metal and
• 10:07
  rock, Paradise Lost in Requiem Paradise Lost in there like 800
• 10:12
  albums. Sabotage.
• 10:14
  This one was a class like right when I was really starting to
• 10:18
  get into progressive metal. This is a real gem.
• 10:24
  Let's see what else? Flotsam and Jetsam No place for
• 10:31
  disgrace. A classic thrash metal album
• 10:33
  Jason Newstead had right before he joined Metallica.
• 10:37
  I had Co wrote the 1st 2 Flotsam and Jetsam albums so pretty
• 10:41
  killer. Pretty killer.
• 10:45
  Great stuff still holds up. Kiss Revenge dropped this week
• 10:49
  in 1991. One of their best albums of the
• 10:54
  latest. Their 80s stuff is so bad that
• 10:57
  that one just kicked ass out of the gate.
• 10:59
  There is some cringy lyrics on there like all Kiss albums, but
• 11:02
  wow, pretty banging. All right, what else?
• 11:11
  Megadeth's united abominations Kind of a middle period for
• 11:16
  Megadeth where Dave was kind of leading the band by himself.
• 11:24
  I don't really take any Co hosts on TikTok y'all.
• 11:28
  I just kind of host my show. But if you want to conversate,
• 11:31
  drop questions, drop comments, I'm here for it.
• 11:35
  Motörhead, we are Motörhead. This is a live album.
• 11:38
  I think kind of the reason I'm not more psyched about all these
• 11:41
  Motörhead posthumous releases from the band is because it was
• 11:47
  so many live albums that are classic, everything louder than
• 11:50
  everyone else. And so I am a little bummed that
• 11:53
  that all of this Motörhead stuff or these tapes and demos and
• 11:58
  things, those are cool. But I think the new live albums
• 12:01
  I'm not super jazzed about unless they're start coming out
• 12:05
  with better quality. Two Dio albums came out this
• 12:10
  week in Rock and metal history. We talked about the passing of
• 12:14
  Dio, Lock Up the Wolves, and Killing the Dragon.
• 12:18
  Pretty interesting albums. Neither of them at the top of my
• 12:22
  list, but we recently did a Dio series on my other podcasts,
• 12:27
  Sacred Reich, The American Way. This was a humongous album for
• 12:32
  me as a teenage crossover thrash fan.
• 12:35
  I still love this band. I can't wait to see them again.
• 12:37
  New album coming out soon. Marcus Johnson.
• 12:41
  Brenda, what up Sylvester, what's going on?
• 12:45
  Just doing some Rocket Metal news late night here on the West
• 12:48
  Coast in America. Let me know where you're at.
• 12:50
  Let me know what you're listening to or what you're
• 12:53
  interested in talking about. War Bringer dropped the banger.
• 12:57
  This was a real waking into nightmares.
• 13:03
  This isn't tremendous album for 2009 thrash and that's the metal
• 13:09
  history in the announcements part of the show.
• 13:12
  I will put myself back on screen yo once again, even though we
• 13:16
  have some advertising brought to you by some affiliates and some
• 13:21
  sales, we do love to get some tips.
• 13:26
  You can either give us a super like or a super chat on YouTube
• 13:31
  or you could hit any of the things we do and share cash app,
• 13:35
  Kofi, Venmo, PayPal, whatever. Again, I'm always appreciative
• 13:41
  of whatever people want to share.
• 13:46
  All right, appreciate you, Marcus.
• 13:52
  All right, Peter is also here. Husky hustle 284 is here full
• 13:57
  name. There's our cash app case you're
• 14:00
  curious, man, I'm up late. I got a whole ass thing to do
• 14:04
  tomorrow, so I better finish this up soon.
• 14:06
  All right, I did go live earlier in the week.
• 14:08
  Also late at night, I reviewed the new Iron Maiden Burning
• 14:12
  Ambition documentary. I had some many spicy thoughts
• 14:15
  and takes. Let me know if you saw it.
• 14:17
  Let me know what you think of it.
• 14:19
  We'll get a written review up next week.
• 14:21
  I also, I'll talk about it in a minute or two, but I saw the new
• 14:27
  Beyond Creation documentary, which was fucking ridiculous.
• 14:36
  Anyway, what first got me in the metal?
• 14:39
  Well, that's a good question. I had an older brother that was
• 14:42
  into classic rock and Hard Rock and progressive rock.
• 14:45
  So as a little little kid I was into very nerdy music.
• 14:48
  But I have very fond memories of being like two or three years
• 14:52
  old and hearing the very opening to War Pigs at like top volume.
• 14:56
  My parents were clearly not home or they would have screamed at
• 14:59
  my late brother. But that bass slide just change
• 15:06
  my whole fucking DNA as a person at 3:00 because I wasn't in
• 15:11
  diapers. I was like running around in my
• 15:13
  tight, my underoos and my white T-shirt in the projects in New
• 15:17
  York City, in the Bronx. And yeah, that put me on the
• 15:21
  path. Man, I'd be, I was a big KISS
• 15:23
  fan as a little kid and then I started to get my own musical
• 15:26
  identity as I got into elementary school.
• 15:29
  I liked a lot of pop music and and rap and things like that,
• 15:33
  but I really became kind of an aware heavy meddler as a late
• 15:38
  teen, early teen Maiden priest. Obviously Sabbath.
• 15:43
  I was so mad that Ozzy got kicked out of Sabbath.
• 15:45
  I didn't listen to the DO Sabbath right away.
• 15:48
  I came back to that later. I was like much more into Born
• 15:51
  Again. I know that's like sacrilege,
• 15:54
  but I love Ian Gillan and I love Born Again.
• 15:56
  And then I kind of went back and discovered how great Dio was,
• 15:59
  and those albums are awesome and certainly much better than the
• 16:02
  last few albums before that with Ozzy.
• 16:05
  But I also love Ozzy. We have some Ozzy news coming up
• 16:09
  soon that I'm pretty pissed about.
• 16:10
  Last week I did a live stream about Jason Newsted's sort of
• 16:14
  new take on his exit from Metallica, which is hella
• 16:18
  interesting. Definitely new information we
• 16:20
  did not have before. Now we do.
• 16:23
  We'll be doing some more live streams next week.
• 16:25
  There's some huge albums coming out this week and next week
• 16:28
  maybe I'll do some more album reviews.
• 16:29
  Tell me what you would watch me review.
• 16:33
  I'm 53 years old. I saw a lot of cool bands.
• 16:35
  I I didn't see all the cool bands, but I saw most of them.
• 16:39
  I've interviewed over 1000 bands on my podcast between this
• 16:44
  website and a previous couple that I did.
• 16:48
  Ultimate Sin, just dude, you know, down on earth, Ultimate
• 16:52
  Sin here on YouTube. Let me put your comment up.
• 16:54
  Just curious, what are your thoughts on Down on Earth?
• 16:56
  You know, down on Earth, the later era Ozzy stuff was solid.
• 17:00
  I think it did what it had to do.
• 17:02
  I love that he got a little bit of love at the end there with
• 17:05
  the Grammy stuff with Andrew Watt and Posty and things like
• 17:09
  that. Those are more like rock records
• 17:12
  that are not as metal to me. There's a little bit of darkness
• 17:15
  and metallic, you know, flavor on them down.
• 17:19
  And it's OK. I think by then, I, I, I think,
• 17:23
  I wish, I wish Ozzy had made more Zack Wylde albums and let
• 17:28
  Zack actually like drive the bus.
• 17:31
  But, you know, it's complicated. You know, Ozzy has some albums
• 17:36
  that are just absolute bangers and then sort of a little bit of
• 17:40
  diminishing returns in the 80s when he was wild on drugs and
• 17:43
  touring and stuff. And then, you know, No More
• 17:45
  Tears and Osmosis to me are awesome.
• 17:48
  And I really love those. Those are probably like the last
• 17:51
  two super highly rated albums that I have for Oz.
• 17:54
  But Marcus, I'll tell you, you're 20 and you grew up on new
• 17:58
  metal, Dude, I love new metal and I love a lot of hair metal
• 18:01
  and glam rock too. New metals.
• 18:03
  The shit, bro. I saw Korn on one of their first
• 18:06
  tours ever. I was early into Deftones.
• 18:08
  I saw them open for Anthrax on the Adrenaline album.
• 18:12
  And honestly, I was late getting into System of a Down.
• 18:14
  There are other bands that I like more than them and I've
• 18:16
  come around on them a lot and I love them now and I I think
• 18:19
  they're just better live. Thank you, Ultimate Sin.
• 18:21
  Thank you Marcus for your questions.
• 18:24
  I hope I answered them. Well, new interviews this week
• 18:27
  and I want to say like I'm just lucky to do what I do after all
• 18:30
  these years. Absolutely humbled to do what I
• 18:34
  do. We have brand new interviews
• 18:35
  this week. We interviewed King Ultra Mega
• 18:39
  with Mark Menge and brand Dollar Mastodon.
• 18:41
  So I finally got to talk to a Mastodon person in an interview
• 18:44
  setting. I've met the guys in the band
• 18:46
  and I like Brent a lot. Very sad he passed away, but
• 18:51
  really cool. And that King Ultra Mega is a
• 18:54
  tribute to Chris Cornell's music and stuff like that.
• 18:57
  No, dude, you're great. You're great.
• 18:59
  I got you, I got you. I'll get your answer in a
• 19:01
  second. I just want to bang through this
• 19:02
  section of the show and then that's kind of what I do.
• 19:05
  I bang through little sections and then I pause and answer
• 19:07
  questions. I got you ultimate sin.
• 19:09
  Don't worry about it. So Bran from Mastodon had done a
• 19:12
  vocal cover with King Ultra Mega of dead wishes of Cornell's solo
• 19:16
  music song. And that was Bronze Mom's
• 19:20
  favorite song and she died just a few months ago.
• 19:22
  So it's like a new Mastodon coming up soon.
• 19:25
  Sounds like it's going to be very depressing.
• 19:27
  And yeah, just very humble to get to interview.
• 19:31
  Mengi loves ghost cult and we love Mengi.
• 19:33
  I went to oh, it was broken hearted man.
• 19:37
  Marcus asked on TikTok. What I what I'll I'll just
• 19:40
  because it's relevant to this. What did I think when Cornell
• 19:43
  died? I was at a metal festival when
• 19:45
  the news about Cornell dying came out.
• 19:48
  I was covering Chicago Open Air, which was a Danny Wimmer
• 19:51
  festival. They did a few times and I think
• 19:54
  it was headlined by Ozzy and and Rob Zombie and Kiss, which was
• 19:59
  weird. And Slayer was there.
• 20:03
  And there's like a famous picture of me, famous among my
• 20:06
  peeps of me, like eating a plate of nachos while Slayer is
• 20:09
  playing behind me, which is fun. I was broken hearted, man.
• 20:14
  I love Soundgarden and I love Chris Cornell, but the check out
• 20:17
  King Ultra Mega. They've got a bunch of covers.
• 20:19
  Eventually it's going to be a full album on Raining Phoenix
• 20:21
  music. And then also I have a brand new
• 20:26
  interview with Sun Don't Shine. Sun Don't Shine who has one of
• 20:29
  the best albums of 2026. That's why I just keep saying in
• 20:32
  2026 Sun Don't Shine is members of Type O, Negative down,
• 20:36
  Crowbar and more. And I interviewed Kenny, Hickey,
• 20:40
  Kenny and Ghost Coco way back, Johnny Kelly and Kenny, huge
• 20:43
  Typo fan. I saw them.
• 20:45
  I probably saw them 10 times, but I could have seen him like
• 20:48
  100 times because they used to play so much in New York.
• 20:51
  And I was just like, you know, I would go see other bands because
• 20:54
  I was like, well, Typo, you can always go see them.
• 20:56
  And then Peter passed away. But a great interview.
• 20:58
  And if you love Typo Negative, we got a bit of a scoop about
• 21:04
  the new Typo Negative live album that's coming out.
• 21:07
  So you should check out that interview on YouTube.
• 21:10
  And now let me answer ultimate sin stuff and then I'll get back
• 21:13
  to you. Marcus, keep keep hanging in
• 21:15
  there with me, buddy. So ultimate sin Doug, the 80s Oz
• 21:20
  obviously didn't hate anything. He sort of helped me, you know,
• 21:24
  WASP, I was a huge fan. And then Blackie is such a
• 21:27
  douche and Chris Holmes is a horrible racist piece of shit.
• 21:30
  I love the WASP, like in high school, and I saw them a couple
• 21:34
  of years ago because it was like, oh, the 40th anniversary
• 21:36
  of WASP. And, you know, I interviewed Dee
• 21:39
  Snyder about his censorship meeting on Congress with John
• 21:45
  Denver and Frank Zappa. So WASP comes up quite a lot.
• 21:51
  Interesting. My life contains some themes
• 21:53
  that some may find uncomfortable, harassment and
• 21:56
  bullying. I don't know if someone's trying
• 21:57
  to bully me or I'm seem to be bullying someone else.
• 22:00
  I'm definitely not bullying anybody here, bro.
• 22:03
  We have a safe space. That's cool for everybody.
• 22:05
  But anyway, let's see. Another random is Molly Hatchet.
• 22:09
  I love Molly Hatchet. You know, it's funny.
• 22:12
  They came up on my other podcast, the Glacially Musical
• 22:15
  podcast. Beer, metal and swearing,
• 22:17
  sometimes hockey, Kevin Smith, movie, Star Wars references, Lot
• 22:21
  of cum jokes, lot of Dick and cum jokes for a bunch of
• 22:23
  middle-aged guys. But Blackie's a cunt, bro.
• 22:27
  But anyway, and then I do. I love Acid Bath and I'm so
• 22:30
  stoked I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks.
• 22:32
  Finally. I saw them once way back in the
• 22:34
  day, and then they broke up and I was a big fan of Soy Link
• 22:39
  Green and Acid Bath and all. And Shell Shock and Shell Shock
• 22:42
  became Crowbar and Soy Link. Green went on to do Goat Whore
• 22:45
  and now Acid Bath is back. I'm so pumped to see them again.
• 22:50
  I'm going to like fucking, maybe cry.
• 22:53
  And I'd love to interview Dax. I hung out to, I hung out with
• 22:57
  Sammy a bunch of times. We were like drinking a handle
• 22:59
  of vodka at Maryland Death Fest 2018.
• 23:03
  So I am overdue for an interview with Sammy.
• 23:05
  Maybe I can grab him. I know Dax hates the press.
• 23:08
  We also recently had an interview with Barney Greenway
• 23:11
  of Napalm Death. Or we're on tour right now.
• 23:13
  We're covering them tomorrow on a boat cruise in New York City.
• 23:16
  Tomorrow night our homie Robbie Grodin is going to cover them.
• 23:21
  And we interviewed Barney Tom Osman, who manages our reviews
• 23:27
  team in the UK. He kind of looks and sounds like
• 23:30
  James Bond. He's very, he's very posh
• 23:32
  sounding. He teaches at Oxford and he's an
• 23:35
  editor. He's a music humongous music
• 23:36
  nerd and makes music and he's kind of a genius.
• 23:40
  And he interviewed Barney about their new album.
• 23:42
  They have a collab album out right now with Melvin's, which
• 23:47
  is fucking insane and so good. Your first concert, Acid bath in
• 23:52
  Nashville, Marcus, man, that's amazing.
• 23:54
  And I love teach them. Teach them while they're young.
• 23:57
  That's an amazing first concert for you.
• 23:59
  Dax is a genius, a lyrical genius.
• 24:01
  The band is great. I'm so happy for you.
• 24:04
  Come back and jump on another live stream and tell us how it
• 24:07
  was or come back and drop us Adm like I'd love to hear about your
• 24:11
  experience. Marcus and Nashville, man, we
• 24:14
  have a team there. We should cover some more stuff
• 24:16
  there. Recently we interviewed Chad
• 24:18
  Green, a frozen Soul. His dad passed away.
• 24:22
  His brother's also in that band. Their dad passed away this week.
• 24:25
  So there's a GoFundMe one for that.
• 24:26
  I'll see if I can find it here quickly.
• 24:28
  But my partner Omar interviewed Chad, Frozen Soul.
• 24:32
  We've been fans of them from the very beginning.
• 24:34
  One of the best younger death metal bands, even though they've
• 24:37
  been around for a long time. Can I roll with King Diamond's
• 24:40
  voice? Those first two Merciful Fate
• 24:42
  albums bring you to hard, bring you into hardcore soul
• 24:45
  rock'n'roll. You know what, man?
• 24:49
  There was a group of my friends growing up that used to gig on
• 24:51
  King Diamond. But you cannot buck with King
• 24:54
  Diamond in terms of the greatness of the character and
• 24:58
  the storytelling and the songs. Gina is here, what's up?
• 25:03
  Gina Sanchez and TV collects is still here.
• 25:05
  What up? What up?
• 25:06
  What up? Yeah, man, King, I can hang with
• 25:08
  the voice. Do I sit and listen to King
• 25:10
  Diamond for like 20 hours a day? No.
• 25:11
  But I love some of those King Diamond and Merciful Fate
• 25:14
  records. And I finally got to see
• 25:16
  Merciful Fate for the first time since the 90s a few years back
• 25:21
  at Psycho Las Vegas, which is now not does not exist anymore.
• 25:24
  I'd love to meet King. And I am hopeful eventually that
• 25:27
  King will put out a new solo record or, you know, supposedly
• 25:30
  A Merciful Fate record. I'm just hoping it comes, you
• 25:33
  know, sooner or later. All right.
• 25:36
  Also I mentioned the other podcast, Glacially musical.
• 25:39
  Check it out. Beer, metal and squaring.
• 25:41
  We are finishing our series on ACDC this week.
• 25:45
  It's going to come out in the morning super pumped for that.
• 25:48
  And then we're going to take a chaser episode where we talk
• 25:50
  about vinyl and vinyl care. I'm going to unbox some vinyl
• 25:54
  and some merch in a few minutes in about toward the end of the
• 25:58
  show. But yeah, man, the ACDC series
• 26:02
  has been interesting. They had one of the most
• 26:03
  interesting early because they're just a Bond Scott album.
• 26:06
  So interesting. Their record label kind of shat
• 26:09
  on them all the time and it just made them hostile and angry, and
• 26:13
  they channeled that anger into songwriting.
• 26:15
  So yeah, man, I love King Diamond.
• 26:17
  Marcus asked. What movie do I think has the
• 26:19
  best metal soundtrack? Judgement Night comes to mind.
• 26:24
  The Crow hit an anniversary last week, The 32nd anniversary.
• 26:32
  Oh, there's a few of them. I mean, not necessarily metal,
• 26:36
  but Singles is a great grunge and Hard Rock and alternative
• 26:39
  rock soundtrack. Almost Famous is one of my
• 26:42
  favorite movies because obviously it's about a music
• 26:44
  journalist. It's about Cameron Crowe, A
• 26:46
  fictionalized account of Cameron Crowe, the movie director and
• 26:49
  author. What's your go to, Bon Scott?
• 26:51
  Whole lot of Rosie, dude. My band was just covering that
• 26:54
  last year, and I would say I'm the singer of that band.
• 26:59
  Angst, I'm kind of on a hiatus right now.
• 27:02
  Yeah, dude. Hey, Ultimate sin.
• 27:04
  Thank you so much for joining us.
• 27:06
  You know, super cool of you to join the conversation and and be
• 27:11
  a part of it. Man.
• 27:12
  I really appreciate you. I appreciate you, Marcus.
• 27:14
  I hope that answered all your questions.
• 27:17
  We're around. DM us, hit us up.
• 27:19
  Watch our stuff. We have a lot.
• 27:21
  There's some Aussie stuff coming up in a minute, so you might
• 27:23
  want to hang in there. I'm pretty pissed about it.
• 27:25
  I don't know if you heard about this crazy shit Sharon is doing
• 27:29
  all right. Also, this show is a podcast.
• 27:32
  We have a podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
• 27:34
  I just mentioned we interviewed Mastodon and King Ultra Mega and
• 27:37
  Napalm Death and earlier in the year I interviewed Will from
• 27:40
  William from Alice In Chains. And like so many fun, cool
• 27:44
  things across the whole spectrum.
• 27:46
  Metal, hardcore, punk rock. I interviewed Fat Micah no FX a
• 27:50
  couple of years ago. I interviewed Hilung before they
• 27:53
  got huge as well. Our biggest watched interview on
• 27:55
  YouTube. Coven, Jinx, Dawson.
• 27:59
  You see the flag behind me on the chair?
• 28:02
  You know, if you don't know who Jinx Dawson and Coven are,
• 28:04
  you're missing out on some classic heavy metal.
• 28:07
  Maybe the original heavy metal before Sabbath again.
• 28:14
  Hot takes. Sometimes I have hot takes.
• 28:18
  All right, dude, fuck Sharon. I said nothing to do with that.
• 28:21
  Yeah. He just wanted to rock.
• 28:23
  I mean, look, man, I would say this, I grew up in poverty and
• 28:28
  it sucks. It fucking sucks.
• 28:30
  It's so hard to get ahead in life when you start with nothing
• 28:35
  and any successes I had, I worked my ass off.
• 28:38
  Nothing has ever been given to me whether it's ghost called my
• 28:41
  career in marketing. I've had to struggle and and
• 28:44
  strain and stress. I'm grateful that she got him
• 28:50
  rich. You know, she put money in his
• 28:52
  pocket. I love Sepultura, Marcus.
• 28:55
  I'm going to see them next week. We're going to talk about them
• 28:57
  in just a minute. I'm a huge Sepultura fan, Derek
• 28:59
  and Max and Igor. But yeah, man, I'm.
• 29:03
  I'm disappointed. I guess I'm not surprised.
• 29:05
  I'll say that I'm not surprised at some of this shit Sharon is
• 29:07
  doing. All right, that's all the
• 29:09
  preamble. Let's get into the rest of the
• 29:12
  show. We always do the news rundown
• 29:14
  and we start with metal festivals and we are covering
• 29:16
  some banger ones this week. I will and begin this for
• 29:19
  everybody. Unfortunately you all on Tiktok
• 29:21
  can't see the the bells and whistles of the show but I'll do
• 29:25
  my best. Do I think their Best Song is
• 29:27
  Roots? It's up there.
• 29:32
  I think personally my my favorite.
• 29:35
  Let's not say my favorite. I think the best Sepultura song
• 29:39
  lyrics, songwriting, everything is territory just period.
• 29:44
  My favorite Sepultura song is Slave New World which was Co
• 29:49
  written by Evan of Biohazard. Anyway, metal festivals and punk
• 29:53
  rock festivals and festivals in general.
• 29:56
  We are super stoked to be covering Slam Dunk festival in
• 30:00
  the UK this weekend. They do a north and they do a
• 30:02
  South. Ultimate sin.
• 30:04
  Peace brother. I'm giving you the horns even
• 30:06
  though you can't see him. Horns to you.
• 30:09
  So slam dunk festival, Good Charlotte.
• 30:10
  Not a huge fan, never was, but knock loose, sublime, Taking
• 30:14
  Back Sunday, Boston Manor comeback, kid Bury tomorrow,
• 30:18
  Dashboard Confessional code. You know, not code orange.
• 30:24
  One of their side bands, malevolence president.
• 30:27
  I don't I'm not sure I care about them.
• 30:30
  State champs and a bunch of other killer hardcore and punk
• 30:33
  bands. So so super fun.
• 30:38
  And what actually happened is one of our team members applied
• 30:43
  to cover it. Lorna Leahy and you can go
• 30:45
  follow her. I'm going to drop her Instagram,
• 30:48
  both the Instagrams of my UK people into the chats and what
• 30:53
  you should do is give them a follow.
• 30:55
  I don't think they're on much on TikTok, but photos by Lorna on
• 30:59
  Instagram for Lorna. Lorna got asked to be part of
• 31:05
  the team of Slam Dunk Fest to cover it.
• 31:09
  So I'm really proud of her. And then because of that, our
• 31:12
  other photographer in the area got to do is going to go also
• 31:18
  and cover the actually cover the festival for Ghost Cult That's
• 31:20
  Bill Mosley. Bill is covered Slipknot and
• 31:23
  Knock loose and we always cover Bloodstock open air and he did
• 31:30
  the Bloodstock winter meeting festival thing.
• 31:32
  So super proud, super proud of him and them and just really
• 31:41
  super cool. Please give these folks a follow
• 31:44
  if you can. If you're on the gram,
• 31:46
  definitely give them a follow. Photos by at Photos by Lorna and
• 31:53
  W Maudsley for Bill's photo stuff.
• 31:57
  Just so fun and cool. So really cool.
• 31:59
  Really honored to do Slam Dunk. You know, I used to have like
• 32:03
  thousands of C DS I do get. So just like in Almost Famous
• 32:08
  You, you'll never make a lot of money, but you will get free
• 32:11
  records from the record companies.
• 32:12
  I buy a lot of music. I'm also sent a lot of free
• 32:15
  music albums, vinyl and C DS kind of all the time.
• 32:20
  And I also get to listen to albums before they come out.
• 32:24
  I've been rocking the new Dimmu Borgier that is coming out today
• 32:27
  and it is amazing. I'm so happy they're back.
• 32:30
  But anywho, all right, also this weekend, I'm not covering it
• 32:35
  this year, but I have covered this.
• 32:37
  So not exactly the most metal thing, but Bottle Rock Napa.
• 32:40
  I live in the Bay Area and Bottle Rock Napa is every
• 32:46
  Memorial Day weekend. I think one year it was in the
• 32:48
  fall because of COVID. This is the best festival I've
• 32:51
  ever covered in terms of easy fun, not that many people, and
• 32:57
  in tremendous like value. It's expensive and it's fancy
• 33:01
  foods and wine and and cocktails and beer, which isn't the best
• 33:06
  idea in the Bay Area in Napa Valley where it's boiling hot
• 33:10
  all the time. But Bottle Rock is killer this
• 33:12
  year. My dear festy besty Rebecca,
• 33:15
  who's actually going to marry me and my fiance and Melissa in a
• 33:17
  few months. Lord Teddy swims and Lil Wayne.
• 33:21
  OK cool Papa Roach though. Chaka Khan, Tashul Tana, I've
• 33:25
  seen her live, amazing Men At Work, Natasha Bedingfield, Chevy
• 33:30
  metal so some Hard Rock melt, Treach from Naughty By Nature
• 33:34
  solo and some others. Foo Fighters headlining Saturday
• 33:38
  with LCD sound system. So that's a dance party with
• 33:41
  Zed. I did a whole video, Marcus on
• 33:44
  Woodstock 99, a whole podcast last year where I revisited
• 33:49
  Woodstock 99 and you can check that out.
• 33:51
  I was there. I was personally there and I had
• 33:55
  not the best time. Thanks Fred Durst.
• 33:58
  But anyway, also Rilo Kiley, Busta Rhymes, not a fan, but OK.
• 34:03
  Joan Jett in the back, Black hearts Bush Saturday seems like
• 34:06
  much more rock, Better Than Ezra.
• 34:08
  Arrested Development. That's kind of fat.
• 34:11
  Michael Jackson's daughter Paris is making her festival debut
• 34:14
  there. That's fun.
• 34:16
  The Alive is a teenage rock band I've interviewed before.
• 34:19
  Fun. And then Sunday, Backstreet
• 34:22
  Boys, Somber, Ludacris, Mount Joy, Slightly Stupid, Kulen
• 34:27
  again who I've seen with Van Halen like 15 years ago, Lark
• 34:31
  and Poe, Sons of the East and a bunch more.
• 34:35
  So not exactly the most metal thing, but a fun experience
• 34:38
  where you could go like eat the best food, see celebrity chefs,
• 34:43
  have a dope cocktail or a craft beer and then rock out.
• 34:47
  It's actually really great. I've had a tremendous time and
• 34:49
  we'll cover it again someday, just not this year.
• 34:52
  Also coming up next weekend is Maryland Death Fest, their 20th
• 34:56
  festival in 21 years. I've gone a few times.
• 34:59
  I need to get back there. I almost need to go with like an
• 35:02
  empty suitcase and like $1000 for merch because like I would
• 35:06
  just buy everything. It's like heaven for metal
• 35:08
  heads. I can't wait to go back.
• 35:10
  But just a real quick rundown of some of the bands playing.
• 35:14
  Solitude doing a very rare show. November's doom Bong Ripper on
• 35:20
  Thursday along with Bong Zilla, Wake of Earnest, Black Lung and
• 35:24
  more. Friday Old man's child American
• 35:27
  debut, Unbelievable and great God Dethroned reunited Rod in
• 35:33
  Christ, who I just saw with Behemoth and Denicide.
• 35:36
  The Crown rare American show. I think they're retiring
• 35:40
  Wolfhart and many others. Friday's lineup features Grave
• 35:46
  Death Angel doing the Act 3 tour.
• 35:48
  Cancer classic death metal band. I have some of their vinyls,
• 35:54
  Violence, of course. Butushka I'm not sure which
• 35:58
  ones. The Valley Carnage, great band.
• 36:00
  They put out a new reissue recently.
• 36:01
  I picked up also on Saturday. That was Sunday.
• 36:07
  Saturday. Creator Destruction Pig
• 36:09
  Destroyer, Whiplash from New Jersey Thrash metal.
• 36:12
  What up? Strangled by the sun.
• 36:13
  Welcome. Welcome, sinister mortician
• 36:18
  Mccobb, who I'm going to see at Milwaukee Metal Fest in a
• 36:21
  minute. I'll tell you about that.
• 36:22
  So pumped. I've never seen Mccobb.
• 36:25
  OK. Also, Milwaukee Metal Fest is in
• 36:29
  two weeks. I'm flying out to Milwaukee,
• 36:30
  going to go see a Brewers game, going to try to get one of the
• 36:33
  last bottles of Schlitz malt liquor ever and acid bath on
• 36:37
  Friday with obituary, Agalock, death, Angel, incantation,
• 36:41
  violence, pallbearer and many more.
• 36:44
  Saturday is kill switch engaged suicidal Tennessee's machine
• 36:47
  head, one of my favorite power trip with their new vocalist
• 36:50
  nails prongs, all my homies men. And then Sunday ministry, Napalm
• 36:57
  death, John Bush playing the 90s and arts hits of anthrax
• 37:01
  integrity. Not sure if they had a drop out
• 37:05
  because I know dewed is having some problems physically WADA
• 37:12
  and macabre and that's like the big one for me.
• 37:14
  I've never seen macabre. And then the pre party is
• 37:17
  Thursday night so I'm going to go see Milwaukee Brewers game.
• 37:19
  Never been going to go and then it's a Muir Jost and friends
• 37:24
  playing covers and he's got a killer line up with them and
• 37:26
  also Gasket who disrupt the new album playing that day.
• 37:30
  So awesome Furnace fest we told you about last week.
• 37:32
  A day to remember, Bring me the horizon circa survive underoath,
• 37:36
  motionless and white slaughter to prevail.
• 37:38
  Chiodos, We Came to Romans, Kubicon, The Plot, New Suicide
• 37:42
  Silence, Norma Jean Apri, Poison, the Well Cartel, Hail
• 37:45
  the Sun, Bleeding Through, Sleeping Giant.
• 37:48
  So some killer bands, some bands that are not for me.
• 37:51
  A lot of deathcore, a lot of hardcore, a lot of punk.
• 37:53
  I love a lot of punk and hardcore and some deathcore.
• 37:59
  Let's see. Headbanger's Boat did one of the
• 38:03
  coolest things I've ever seen. They are I think, you know,
• 38:07
  we're we're talking a lot about concerts not selling out and
• 38:10
  festivals not doing well. So Headbanger's Boat is not sold
• 38:15
  out for the first time ever, but I think it will eventually sell
• 38:17
  out. These cruises do very well.
• 38:19
  Headbangers boats Lamb of goat, Lamb of God's cruise basically
• 38:23
  every year. This will be their third one.
• 38:25
  Zach Sabbath, Dillinger escape plan in flames, Gore the haunted
• 38:29
  death Angel also perish Kyleesa, who I'm dying to see again.
• 38:34
  I think they're playing it Aftershock, so I might have to
• 38:37
  go DRI harm's way and more. And what they're doing on the
• 38:41
  boat is 1 lucky winner will get their cabin completely bled on
• 38:48
  and cummed on by Gore with a bunch of Gore merch and just the
• 38:51
  Gore treatment. I would go on the hope that I
• 38:55
  won that thing. I did a whole thing on the most
• 38:58
  shocking deaths in rock and metal.
• 39:00
  I met Vinny Paul and saw Darrell the week before he was murdered.
• 39:04
  I love Pantera, I know that they have some problematic things but
• 39:08
  I think in the meantime Diamond Vinny were great people and
• 39:13
  tremendous artists. I love Panteras so much.
• 39:16
  I saw them like 25 times and I saw Damage Plan the week before
• 39:20
  Daryl was killed. So brutal.
• 39:22
  I remember the call I got at work and I cried my eyes out for
• 39:27
  weeks on end about it. Levitation Festival is drunk.
• 39:31
  Their first line up, Molchat DOMA, Agnogine, Depatrine di
• 39:37
  Spitz, Cabaret Voltaire, Uncle Ass and the Deadbeats coming
• 39:41
  soon. Peter Hook and the Light,
• 39:42
  psychedelic porn crumpets, Arlo Parks, Rehash Temples, Gibby,
• 39:47
  Hangings of the Butthole Surfers who have a new album coming
• 39:49
  soon. I'm interviewing them next week
• 39:51
  and many more. So we'll keep we'll keep it
• 39:53
  posted for mid-september for Levitation Fest, formally, what
• 39:57
  was it called? It was like Austin's Psych Fest.
• 40:00
  And then Levitation's a better name, right?
• 40:06
  All right, powering through. This looks really cool.
• 40:09
  Dark Lord day at 3 Floyd's Brewing in Indiana.
• 40:16
  It's just passed, so they're booking a new one now, but I
• 40:19
  thought that was a really cool line up.
• 40:20
  So Napalm Death and municipal waste rot in the lot in Canada,
• 40:26
  Hay breed, terror incantation, gates of hell, torture, kill
• 40:32
  chain and more. That is really cool looking.
• 40:34
  I'm looking up for the rest of that lineup.
• 40:36
  Looks super fun. Chris Heath is here, Sandstone
• 40:40
  is here, Rebecca's here. Bobby Covino.
• 40:47
  Just a reminder next weekend is also spooky.
• 40:50
  Empire used to be Ghost cult was a big part of that in the past.
• 40:54
  We went down there one year and I hosted some panels on music,
• 40:58
  myself and my partner Omar, really fun.
• 41:00
  And Paul from Cannibal Corpse will be doing a signing there
• 41:04
  and they have bands that play and horror punk and metal and
• 41:08
  stuff, so kind of fun if you like horror.
• 41:10
  Most metal heads love horror stuff, so I know I do.
• 41:14
  Who else is around? What's up, what's up, what's up?
• 41:17
  All right, now on to tours and we were telling you last week
• 41:21
  that Metallica kicked off their M72 world tour.
• 41:25
  A homie of mine went to see them in Poland last night, said they
• 41:28
  were phenomenal. I know they've seen like 90 like
• 41:34
  90 Metallica shows. I've seen Metallica more than
• 41:37
  any other band as you can see. I have some Metallica merch on
• 41:41
  one of my Chewbacca shirt and my ghost coat hat since the Star
• 41:44
  Wars movie is out now. And what genre of metal do I
• 41:49
  dislike the most? I don't really dislike any of
• 41:51
  them. I think a lot of deathcore
• 41:55
  started to sound the same and it's kind of played out to me,
• 41:59
  you know? But some of it's great still.
• 42:04
  And I don't know, that's a tough one.
• 42:07
  That's a tough questions. I love as a music journalist.
• 42:10
  Like I just wrote a review of Puscifer.
• 42:13
  I was listening to Do MU Borgier all day yesterday.
• 42:16
  Like my whole plate is open. As a journalist and a writer for
• 42:20
  over 20 years. I studied music in college.
• 42:22
  I had bands for 20 years that were most basically thrash
• 42:25
  metal, Hard Rock and punk. So I don't know.
• 42:28
  Metallica is on their tour this weekend will be their first kind
• 42:32
  of two night thing. I think the setlist hasn't been
• 42:34
  great, but you know, Gojira and Pantera and Avatar and Knock
• 42:39
  Loose opening for Metallica in Europe.
• 42:41
  That's just crazy. This is a big news that came out
• 42:46
  yesterday. Smashing Pumpkins are doing
• 42:48
  their Rats in a Cage tour to celebrate melancholy infinite
• 42:52
  sadness. Don't know if you saw it on our
• 42:54
  YouTube or podcast. Their record label sent me the
• 42:58
  giant $350.00 ALP Smashing Pumpkins Deluxe Melancholy Vinyl
• 43:06
  set and it is one of the best things I've ever seen.
• 43:09
  The sound is Immaculate. There was some live concerts,
• 43:11
  some demos, beautiful book written by Billy.
• 43:15
  Really incredible. One of the better things I've
• 43:18
  gotten in the last few years. It was really gracious to them
• 43:20
  to give it to me. I've had things where it was
• 43:23
  offered to me to like do an unboxing video and then send it
• 43:26
  back to them, which is fine. I'm just grateful to be here.
• 43:29
  I'm glad to be here. How about you?
• 43:30
  I love metal and rock and punk and jazz and Blues, and I was
• 43:35
  trained in classical music. I think Palpatine is a Sith
• 43:40
  Lord. He's been trained to use the
• 43:41
  dark side. I think that's me.
• 43:43
  It's just with music. Also Parish, another band I'm
• 43:45
  going to see, you know, in two weeks in Milwaukee doing the
• 43:49
  price of existence. Wage Slaves is a banger.
• 43:52
  There's a death corps band. I love Marcus.
• 43:55
  I mean, you know, metal heads especially, you know, thrash and
• 44:00
  death metal were really peaking in the 90s after the blackout
• 44:03
  after Cannibal Corpse had a bunch of successful records with
• 44:07
  Barnes and I think new metal came along and there's just
• 44:10
  people who a don't like rap, don't like anything too urban.
• 44:13
  It's kind of weird. It's a weird dichotomy where
• 44:15
  some people are dying to be down and urban.
• 44:18
  I came from the hood in the Bronx, NY, where rap was born
• 44:22
  and really cultural American urbanness came from.
• 44:29
  But you know, I don't new metals, not a poser metal.
• 44:32
  Listen man, like Monkey used to do Steve Vai shit, you know what
• 44:36
  I'm saying? The first band, the Korn guys
• 44:38
  had LAPD Love and Peace, dude. They were like Faith No More
• 44:42
  jazz junkies and things like that.
• 44:44
  So like, you know, if people don't like what you like, that
• 44:47
  doesn't invalidate what you like.
• 44:49
  Don't worry about impressing or pleasing anybody, please
• 44:52
  yourself. Life is short, all right.
• 44:55
  Talked about this tour last week, Dekrutzen, The Crosses,
• 44:59
  the Dekrutzen tribute band is coming around.
• 45:01
  They are also playing Milwaukee Metal Fest.
• 45:03
  I'm going to go see them. Speaking of Simple tour, Marcus,
• 45:07
  this tour is hitting my town next week and I'm going.
• 45:10
  Simple tour is supposed final farewell tour with Derrick Green
• 45:13
  and Kisser, Exodus, Biohazard and Tribal Gaze that's coming.
• 45:19
  They have like basically a few more weeks of shows.
• 45:22
  So I'm going to catch that in Berkeley right near my house
• 45:26
  train ride away. It's up 7 mind.
• 45:31
  OK, let's see, man, that's I appreciate all the watchers and
• 45:35
  viewers. Somebody's watching on my
• 45:37
  channel. I appreciate you.
• 45:39
  I have a channel at Ghost called Kefi 666 on YouTube.
• 45:42
  We also have at Ghost Cult Live and at Ghost Cult man,
• 45:44
  everywhere else. Bill Massey, what up?
• 45:47
  Good to see you again. One Machine has made it to Japan
• 45:52
  as the support band for Obscura and that is the band featuring
• 45:56
  Steve Smythe, formerly of Testament and Forbidden.
• 46:00
  And what a killer band they are and I'm super stoked for new
• 46:04
  more new One Machine music. You should check that band out
• 46:07
  if you love progressive thrash metal.
• 46:11
  The story so far in the starting line have a tour they're kicking
• 46:14
  off soon that's kind of cool. This is a great tour.
• 46:17
  Lana Del Rabies, Tracer Mountain, Insula Iscariot has
• 46:21
  booked the West Coast tour for July, The Filth and Ferrell
• 46:25
  tour. Great name.
• 46:25
  Great name, I gotta say. And then some cancellations,
• 46:29
  man. We broke the news that Enter
• 46:30
  Shikari canceled both legs of their upcoming new band.
• 46:34
  There's a band you might like, Marcus, if you don't know,
• 46:36
  they're not super huge in America, but they do have quite
• 46:39
  a following. I interviewed them three years
• 46:41
  ago at Riotfest in Chicago, which we usually cover, and
• 46:44
  we'll be getting the Riotfest announcement next week finally.
• 46:48
  But Enter Shikari said they had visa problems and they had a
• 46:50
  tour that was about to happen. And I think they had a tour that
• 46:55
  was going to is booked for the fall and now they can't do any
• 46:57
  of them. What did I think when Max
• 46:59
  Cavallera left Sepultura? I was broken hearted.
• 47:01
  But you know, Igor stayed for 10 years without Max and they
• 47:04
  didn't talk. And that's what, you know,
• 47:06
  sometimes when the marriage is bad, the parents don't stay
• 47:08
  together. I love Sepultura with Derrick
• 47:11
  Green and I, one of the few people I've interviewed Max
• 47:14
  Cavallera like 10 times in my career.
• 47:17
  You can go look it up on YouTube or our website at at
• 47:19
  ghostcultman.com. And we have a great
• 47:21
  relationship. I love Gloria.
• 47:25
  I see Richie from Insight, Richie Cavallera and and Igor,
• 47:29
  the son and the brother. I've interviewed most of them.
• 47:32
  And, you know, I was bummed out that he quit.
• 47:35
  And there were, you know, good reasons Dana died.
• 47:37
  That was brutal. And we did get Soul Fly and all
• 47:39
  of Max's other projects were, you know, sort of grew out of
• 47:44
  leaving Sepultura, which is a good thing for metal.
• 47:47
  And I think the music with Derek has been terrific, especially
• 47:49
  these last run of albums and their new EPI.
• 47:52
  Think I unboxed it on here about a month ago, came out about 3
• 47:56
  weeks ago. So, you know, I was bummed.
• 47:59
  But you know, 2 Christmases, yay.
• 48:02
  So there's Enter Shikari, you and me at six and yours truly.
• 48:06
  So metal core would like some synths and dancey tracks, but
• 48:10
  sometimes heavy as fuck. Enter Shikari is a great band.
• 48:14
  I'm bummed for them and other bands.
• 48:16
  You know what happened when a tour gets cancelled, they lose
• 48:18
  their tour so now they don't have an income.
• 48:21
  Also Static X has apparently a medical situation has cancelled
• 48:26
  all their further tours. I know that Matt Zane from
• 48:30
  Society One, also the porn actor and director is working on a
• 48:34
  documentary, an unauthorized documentary about Wayne and Tara
• 48:38
  Patrick, who were sorry, Tara Ray, who was Wayne's wife and
• 48:41
  friends of his. And there's a lot of beefing
• 48:45
  back and forth. What's the craziest band you
• 48:48
  interviewed? Well, what do you mean by crazy?
• 48:49
  I interviewed Jazz Coleman of Killing Joke where he just went
• 48:53
  nuts for like an hour. Just one thing after another,
• 48:57
  theories and and conspiracies and fucking crazy shit.
• 49:03
  I recently interviewed a band called Kalahunka from Texas that
• 49:07
  basically does grind core and like maybe Mr. Bunkle kind of
• 49:10
  weirdness and their music is made for slugs and slug
• 49:14
  creatures from another Galaxy. Like a smarter Joe Rogan.
• 49:19
  Joe Rogan's not a smart person. He may like a lot of conspiracy
• 49:22
  stuff, but I hear you. I wish Joe Rogan would shut the
• 49:25
  fuck up and go away. I can't believe that guy gets
• 49:29
  $100 million a year to do what I do.
• 49:31
  He's not and he's smarter or better than me but whatever.
• 49:36
  Also this bummed me out The Psychedelic Furs.
• 49:38
  My fiance told me about this last week.
• 49:40
  I think during the show Living Color was supposed to open a
• 49:42
  huge US and Canadian tour for Psychedelic Furs.
• 49:48
  They have a medical situation also and cannot tour anymore so
• 49:51
  I don't know what that means for Living Colors spring and summer.
• 49:54
  Hopefully they can book some other shows because that sucks.
• 49:57
  I love this. I have this meme up right now,
• 50:00
  Marcus. It's Peter Steele, one outfit in
• 50:02
  bulk, the green army shirt and the hat, so you can't really
• 50:05
  describe memes. You gotta see him.
• 50:07
  But anyway, all right on to the rest of the news 150 AMI need to
• 50:14
  go to bed. Let's do the rest of the news
• 50:22
  right now though. Just a real quick reminder, some
• 50:26
  of our affiliate partners include Fable Beards.
• 50:28
  If you want an awesome beard like I do, check out Fable
• 50:31
  Beard. The link in our description will
• 50:32
  get you $10 off your first order.
• 50:35
  We are partners of the Lamb Goat Media Network.
• 50:37
  Lamb Goat, the much meaner version of Ghost Cult.
• 50:41
  They break a lot of news. They do a lot of hardcore and
• 50:43
  metal stuff. Pretty good coverage of music.
• 50:48
  And also just a shout out to my homie Craig Caruso of Caruso
• 50:53
  Apps. And one other thing I I not
• 50:56
  really a partner of ours, but a a store we like.
• 50:58
  If you are in the Pennsylvania area, anywhere within striking
• 51:01
  distance eastern Pennsylvania, go check out the Anarchist
• 51:04
  closet in Stroudsburg, PA. Great store.
• 51:10
  We gave them a big blow up last week and you should check them
• 51:12
  out. And of course, most of you
• 51:15
  watching this except on TikTok via stream yard.
• 51:17
  I think we're going to move over to Riverside next year, but so
• 51:20
  TikTok can get in on the fun but stream yard right now and what
• 51:25
  gives people feelings of power money, you know, like this, this
• 51:32
  thing is funny. My fiance sent this to me.
• 51:34
  I'm I'm getting married in like 55 days and shit is mind blowing
• 51:38
  to me. I'm so happy.
• 51:42
  What what gives people feelings of power money status or I've
• 51:45
  got that record on vinyl. I'm that guy.
• 51:49
  How did I get into the passion of podcasting?
• 51:51
  Well, you know what man, as they say, I thought I had a face for
• 51:54
  radio. I studied broadcast journalism.
• 51:57
  I studied musicology in my first go round at college and Ghost
• 52:03
  called. I kind of saw as a marketing
• 52:05
  expert. I'm also a social media and
• 52:07
  music expert in terms of like the music industry.
• 52:10
  I used to teach in training bands how to manage their social
• 52:12
  media and how to get, you know, what steps to take to get
• 52:15
  signed, especially rock and metal.
• 52:18
  I did a lot of seminars during the pandemic and stuff like
• 52:20
  that. And you know what, Marcus?
• 52:24
  I started doing video interviews in person and then during the
• 52:28
  pandemic we couldn't go to shows anymore.
• 52:30
  I went 549 days without a concert and I thought I was
• 52:34
  going to eat a bullet, but I didn't and made it through.
• 52:38
  And I started doing this show like in May of 2020 and I've
• 52:45
  missed maybe like 3 shows ever since then.
• 52:48
  And I was definitely ill for two of them in the hospital.
• 52:51
  So like I rarely take a week off.
• 52:54
  We work on this round the clock. I don't really get paid for full
• 52:59
  time work for this, but I certainly enjoy some of the
• 53:02
  benefits and I love talking about music and chopping it up
• 53:05
  with my Co hosts and my guests. And I've been again interviewed.
• 53:09
  I interviewed Ozzy in a group setting, but I interviewed Ozzy.
• 53:13
  I interviewed Devin Townsend, I've interviewed Testament, I've
• 53:15
  interviewed Max Cavallera, I've interviewed Megadev, I've
• 53:19
  interviewed Dave Ellefson, I've interviewed a whole bunch of,
• 53:22
  you know, Alice In Chains, a whole bunch of people.
• 53:25
  All right, here's the rest of the news.
• 53:27
  And then I will do the new music Friday and then I'll do this
• 53:31
  unboxing and then I'm going to go to bed.
• 53:34
  So we told you last week, we knew that Anthrax single was
• 53:37
  coming. Brand new single is for the
• 53:38
  kids. Tremendous song and video.
• 53:41
  Real 80s vibes. Madhouse shot in an abandoned
• 53:44
  mental hospital. Their new album Curseum Perfecto
• 53:50
  is coming out in September right around my birthday on Mega
• 53:53
  Forest Records, that label that they restarted themselves.
• 53:57
  There's their album artwork, kind of looks like an Opeth
• 53:59
  album cover from like the last 10 years, like their
• 54:02
  progressive, nerdy Stoner weirdo album cover kind of interesting.
• 54:07
  Here's the Aussie news, man. And I wish that I wish ultimate
• 54:12
  cinema still around. This is fucking depressing.
• 54:14
  So Sharon made an announcement today and a bunch of people
• 54:19
  picked it up that there will be an Ozzy Osbourne will live on as
• 54:23
  an AI avatar. License Global announced this.
• 54:29
  Sharon, Osbourne and Jack have partnered with Hyper Reel, a
• 54:31
  company known for providing large AI avatars at concerts.
• 54:35
  They did the Tupac avatar at Coachella.
• 54:38
  I don't think these things are good.
• 54:39
  It's kind of scary how it's very real and accurate.
• 54:43
  He will exist digitally for himself as long as we have
• 54:45
  computers. Technology has come such a long
• 54:48
  way it's almost to drag and drop, literally prompt.
• 54:52
  You want what do you want digital Ozzie to do in a
• 54:55
  commercial and you just drop it in.
• 54:57
  You can ask Ozzie anything. He will answer in his own voice
• 54:59
  and the answers will be what Ozzie would have said.
• 55:02
  Sharon had it. We're going to take it all
• 55:03
  around the world. This is horrible.
• 55:06
  I miss Ozzie. This is stupid Kiss avatars.
• 55:11
  I have no excitement for this. I grew up a huge Kiss fan and
• 55:13
  like, you know, Kiss is not Ozzie and KISS is not Metallica
• 55:17
  and KISS is not Rob Zombie and KISS is not Black Sabbath.
• 55:20
  But you know, to a lot of people, culturally, KISS was
• 55:23
  important to them. The idea of Kiss, right?
• 55:26
  You've heard that before. But this just feels shitty.
• 55:28
  He just died. There hasn't really been much
• 55:30
  else that's come out since he died.
• 55:33
  And I just don't understand it. Like I just don't understand it.
• 55:37
  You get me? So anyway, just fucking stupid.
• 55:40
  I think this is a terrible idea. Also we I'm a huge Faith No More
• 55:47
  fan and I live in the Bay Area and for the first time in years
• 55:52
  Mike Borden, Puffy Borden and Mike Patton met at a Mike Patton
• 55:57
  Avett Brothers show and they hung out and there's pictures of
• 56:01
  them that set the Internet on fire.
• 56:02
  Now that I don't think that means Faith No More is getting
• 56:04
  back together. Mike exited pretty badly, told
• 56:07
  him he had a mental breakdown, and then he ghosted the band,
• 56:11
  honestly. And for whatever reason he
• 56:13
  didn't want to go back to Faith No More.
• 56:15
  But he's very happy doing this project and Mr. Bungle and now
• 56:18
  Phantomas is in Tomahawk. So I think there's a lot of
• 56:22
  anger and acceptance feelings from Roddy Bottom and Billy
• 56:26
  Gould that they're never getting back with Patton.
• 56:29
  Personally, I'd go get a new singer and tore his Faith No
• 56:32
  More. If Mike doesn't want to come
• 56:33
  back, I know he's impossible to replace.
• 56:36
  Maybe he's the best singer in the world, but I just don't, you
• 56:39
  know? I'm just fucking mad about it.
• 56:41
  But I'm glad those guys seem to be doing on good terms right
• 56:45
  now. An 85 year old grandma set the
• 56:48
  world record for crowd surfing in Sonic Temple.
• 56:50
  Awesome. You can do anything you set your
• 56:54
  mind to, anything at all. This is a pretty cool moment.
• 57:01
  Arch Enemy and Black Dahlia Murder announced a new tour.
• 57:03
  That's the first tour. The reason it's in this section
• 57:06
  is this is the first tour with Lauren Hart, formerly of Once
• 57:09
  Human, as the new vocalist of Arch Enemy.
• 57:12
  Antheos also has some touring coming up soon.
• 57:14
  That's kind of fun. Just a reminder, I mentioned
• 57:17
  this last week, but I wanted to, I didn't have the right photo
• 57:21
  and I talked about Iron Maiden in my live stream review of
• 57:23
  Burning Ambition that Nico Mcbrain is going to release his
• 57:27
  debut memoir, Hello, Boys and Girls.
• 57:30
  We're about There are four or five Iron Maiden biographies.
• 57:35
  Bruce's book was pretty great. Adrian's book is not good.
• 57:38
  I would love for Steve to do a book, but I have a gut feeling
• 57:43
  that this is going to be a pretty good book.
• 57:45
  Crows and Crowns and Crows. That's a great name.
• 57:48
  Great screen name. Glad you're here.
• 57:52
  Yeah. Trying to make any dollar off
• 57:53
  his name. I you know, I know She's going
• 57:55
  to sell his the rights to his music.
• 57:57
  Oz Fest is going to come back next year.
• 57:59
  I am interested. We'll see.
• 58:01
  Jury is out. What's the best bent?
• 58:03
  The best band documentary? I mean, the Aussie ones last
• 58:07
  year almost broke me to like so hard.
• 58:11
  I will say the Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is pretty amazing.
• 58:17
  Just for the time and the restoration, The Beatles stuff
• 58:20
  that's on Disney Plus from Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings was
• 58:23
  pretty amazing. In terms of metal.
• 58:25
  I have to say that Into the Void series last year, if you have
• 58:28
  Hulu or Disney, was pretty fucking fantastic.
• 58:32
  They did a really great job. And I love Murder in the Front
• 58:38
  Row by Adam Dubin and Get the Rash by Rick Ernst.
• 58:43
  Really great stuff. And there's a bunch more.
• 58:46
  So Left To Die is a super group of former members and associates
• 58:51
  and influenced people from the band Death.
• 58:54
  And they have announced they signed a Relapse Records.
• 58:57
  It was the label of Death, at least for the reissues, and some
• 59:00
  of they were classics. And their debut album is coming
• 59:03
  soon where they're going to reinterpret the Death demos that
• 59:07
  were under the name Mantas. And so left to die to drop the
• 59:14
  new single called Archangel Incredible.
• 59:17
  It's Matt Harvey from Exhumed and Gus Rios, who's toured with
• 59:21
  Death and also from Gruesome, which is kind of a tribute to
• 59:25
  ban tribute banned to death and Terry Butler, formerly of, you
• 59:28
  know, Terry Butler of Obituary and formerly a massacre and Rick
• 59:33
  Ross. So like, you know, people who've
• 59:36
  been in death pretty great. This is I'm so pumped for this.
• 59:42
  I also would say that a Cannibal corpse like anniversary
• 59:45
  documentary they put out a while back that was pretty great.
• 59:49
  Smirk is sort of power pop of indie rock alternative rock
• 59:55
  project and they are dropping a new album that's pretty cool.
• 59:59
  Shane Embry of Napalm Death has been putting out ambient music
• 1:00:03
  under Dark Sky Burial, but now he's going to put out his own
• 1:00:07
  brand new. Debut solo album under his name?
• 1:00:11
  That's kind of fun. John Carpenter, the famous
• 1:00:16
  director and horror Music Maker is putting out John Carpenter's
• 1:00:20
  Cathedral, a brand new album, his son and their regular
• 1:00:23
  collaborator Danny Davis. Skin Graft Records is a pretty
• 1:00:29
  cool label we do a lot of stuff with and they're doing a Pay
• 1:00:33
  What You Want on Band Camp right now for a big compilation from
• 1:00:36
  their label, so check that out. What do I think about Mortician?
• 1:00:39
  You know, I've met Will Rammer and I'm from New York City, so I
• 1:00:42
  know that like the death metal community loves Mortician.
• 1:00:45
  Like I can listen to Mortician here and there, but I don't sit
• 1:00:48
  around and think about them as the best band I've ever heard.
• 1:00:51
  I think it's kind of like very same Sammy.
• 1:00:54
  Like it's shocking and how brutal it can be, but I don't
• 1:00:58
  know that I like would enjoy listening to them for a days on
• 1:01:01
  end but OK, not terrible. Here's another one.
• 1:01:08
  This this kind of surprised me and impressed me.
• 1:01:11
  This is the Bruce Dickinson's Mandrake project is coming out
• 1:01:17
  with his second album and graphic novel and comic book
• 1:01:22
  series. I have all the first ones.
• 1:01:24
  Shout out to my dude John Harter of Waterfront Comics for hooking
• 1:01:29
  it up and I am very much looking forward to yet another album
• 1:01:33
  from Bruce. Like to really go see Maiden on
• 1:01:36
  tour with Megadeth and Anthrax on either the East Coast or the
• 1:01:40
  West Coast, but we'll see. My wedding is the most important
• 1:01:43
  thing in my life right now. New music Friday the mailbag and
• 1:01:46
  then the show is over. All of y'all who've been hanging
• 1:01:49
  out and conversating Marcus and Ultimate Sin on YouTube.
• 1:01:55
  I appreciate y'all so much. Let's do this.
• 1:01:58
  Let's talk really quick about what new albums came out this
• 1:02:03
  week. They're out today.
• 1:02:05
  But, you know, maybe you you have.
• 1:02:08
  Do I believe snot could have been as big as corn?
• 1:02:10
  I do not. But I love snot.
• 1:02:12
  And I love that they're back now doing stuff.
• 1:02:14
  And I'm excited for a new snot record.
• 1:02:16
  I love Lynn. I was at the Oz Fest show when
• 1:02:20
  Lynn came out of the Limp Bizkit toilet bowl that was like 20
• 1:02:23
  feet high and ran naked through the whole backstage and into the
• 1:02:27
  parking lot. And when the cops caught him, he
• 1:02:30
  told them his name was Dave Mustaine, which is fucking
• 1:02:33
  great. I don't think they had as much
• 1:02:35
  talent as Korn, but I think they were better than a lot of other
• 1:02:38
  bands that became huge. So I don't know here.
• 1:02:42
  Here's a just a quick rundown of some of my favorite records.
• 1:02:45
  These are records that I think are essential for you to have
• 1:02:48
  New armored St. if you love the classic heavy metal and thrash.
• 1:02:51
  A motion factory reset on metal Blade Anteraxia Sofera the fair
• 1:02:57

• 1:03:10
  All from peaceful records Bear Anhedonia EP.
• 1:03:14
  It's a band we've done some premieres with.
• 1:03:17
  Great band like hardcore, beatdown hardcore, metal,

• 1:04:40
  Witching Hour descending where time is ceased to exist Dying

  Scott Ian's son Revel and your spirit dies.
• 1:04:53
  It is well EP on Monarch heavy for some metal core.
• 1:04:59
  OK, my partner he goes coat has been breaking my chops about
• 1:05:05
  this for a long time. Let's do the mailbag.
• 1:05:10
  Just make just make me the solo here so I have another camera
• 1:05:15
  angle. Everybody except you on TikTok.
• 1:05:18
  I'm going to show this camera. Let's see here we go boom, you
• 1:05:25
  looking for this? There we go.
• 1:05:27
  That's a little chaotic here with the lights and everything,
• 1:05:29
  but hopefully this will work out.
• 1:05:31
  So I have some stuff from Tank crimes records.
• 1:05:34
  I'm going to show it all. No, Slipknot is a copy of
• 1:05:37
  mushroom head. Actually, they're better than
• 1:05:39
  Mushroom Head, but they mushroom Head was first.
• 1:05:42
  So I got some stuff from Tank Crimes Records, I got some stuff
• 1:05:46
  from Pure Noise Records, and I got a thing off of discongs to
• 1:05:51
  support the fundraiser for Neil Jameson of Creed.
• 1:05:56
  So here's just a quick unboxing. Here's a awesome Tank Crimes
• 1:06:03
  T-shirt. You can never go wrong with Tank
• 1:06:04
  Crimes. Great label.
• 1:06:05
  We've interviewed Scotty before. I'll show it to you guys first
• 1:06:10
  here. Dank crimes instead of tank
• 1:06:13
  crimes. Hilarious with the weed leaf.
• 1:06:16
  Maybe not appropriate for family, but very cool.
• 1:06:19
  Beautiful quality on this shirt. Nice.
• 1:06:23
  I'm trying to lose some weight so hopefully that'll work out.
• 1:06:27
  And then I got this exhumed and Iron Reagan split, which is a
• 1:06:31
  repress from the label. Side one has Grave Walker, dead
• 1:06:35
  to the world, seeing red and ready to fight.
• 1:06:37
  Side 2 for Iron Reagan is life beater.
• 1:06:40
  Gave up on giving a fuck. Many lights and holy water makes
• 1:06:42
  me wet. That's this guy.
• 1:06:46
  See if I can. I didn't open it in advance.
• 1:06:48
  Some of these are going to be sealed.
• 1:06:54
  Not the best move right there. And this thing got dinged up on
• 1:06:57
  my way back up here, so too bad it came perfectly packed.
• 1:07:02
  So here's the sleeve that you guys can see here you get a
• 1:07:07
  download card I just dropped. There's the artwork.
• 1:07:11
  There's the artwork so you can appreciate it.
• 1:07:15
  It's got a lyric sheet that's dope.
• 1:07:17
  And this is on a special vinyl variant.
• 1:07:21
  Oh, look at this gorgeous little blood splatter red there for
• 1:07:26
  you. I don't do a lot of song
• 1:07:31
  requests on TikTok, but I will because I'm I'm monetizing other
• 1:07:37
  places and I don't want to get demonetized.
• 1:07:40
  But if you have a band, I'll review your song for some money.
• 1:07:44
  But we don't also charge for reviews.
• 1:07:46
  Here it goes called. So we haven't found anybody
• 1:07:50
  really good enough yet to do that with.
• 1:07:52
  But you never know that maybe I'll, maybe I'll.
• 1:07:55
  When I move this summer, I'm going to start doing a lot more
• 1:07:57
  vinyl content as I get my collection all sorted and shit.
• 1:08:02
  So that's the Iron Reagan split. That's fucking dope.
• 1:08:06
  Tank crimes. Scotty Heath.
• 1:08:07
  I love you brother. This is a split.
• 1:08:10
  So I mentioned this, Krieg is got a fundraiser on because they
• 1:08:16
  have medical expenses piling up for his wife and child.
• 1:08:19
  Neil Jameson, he writes for Decibel.
• 1:08:21
  Maybe you've seen his column. So this is a split they did.
• 1:08:24
  I bought this off at discounts to support his fundraiser.
• 1:08:27
  So this is the body who I love. And Creed doing the split
• 1:08:30
  single. It was just 20 bucks came in the
• 1:08:34
  Mylar, which I appreciate. It's got the hype sticker on it
• 1:08:37
  already. I'm probably going to put my own
• 1:08:39
  Mylar on it. Here's the front cover for you
• 1:08:41
  all to see. Kind of looks like a leather
• 1:08:44
  jacket. Here's the back cover.
• 1:08:46
  Nice. Fill it again here.
• 1:08:48
  Boom. And the back cover.
• 1:08:51
  Boom. Stuff crossed out.
• 1:08:55
  Looks like it's supposed to be evidence in a crime.
• 1:08:57
  The jacket is probably covered in blood.
• 1:08:59
  It's kind of fun. So here's the sleeve.
• 1:09:04
  And then here's a vinyl download card.
• 1:09:07
  That's cool. I know, I know.
• 1:09:09
  I'm not mad at it. There's a little information
• 1:09:14
  sleeve here and lyrics looks handwritten and then reproduce
• 1:09:18
  fucking dope. And then here's this vinyl
• 1:09:21
  variant or no, This is plain old black side A and side B very
• 1:09:31
  cool. Once again for y'all side A side
• 1:09:35
  B. You know I've seen ICP live.
• 1:09:38
  I actually saw the festival where they tried to like jump
• 1:09:41
  Fred Durst. It was like one of the most
• 1:09:44
  embarrassing things I've seen ICP.
• 1:09:46
  I saw them at Riot Fest. I saw them at a festival in New
• 1:09:50
  Jersey. They're they're OK.
• 1:09:51
  I like those guys. They're certainly interesting.
• 1:09:55
  Right. OK, now.
• 1:09:56
  So that was Tank Crimes, the shirt and the vinyl iron Reagan
• 1:10:01
  and Municipal waste and then this Kriegan body split.
• 1:10:03
  That's cool. And then so pure Noise records,
• 1:10:06
  I think I pre-ordered the Ko Yo album, which is sort of
• 1:10:09
  hardcore, metallic hardcore. And then they were having like a
• 1:10:12
  hell of sale. So I got a bunch of things.
• 1:10:15
  So let's just I have a list here from Pure Noise Records.
• 1:10:18
  This was like dirt cheap. The Ko Yo was the only thing I
• 1:10:21
  bought full price. So this is Keepsakes and
• 1:10:25
  reminders long sleeve gold shirt, killer band long sleeve,
• 1:10:30
  fun colored shirt. I'll show it to you in a second.
• 1:10:33
  Koyo came with a sticker, a poster marble LP for the new
• 1:10:39
  album Barely Here. Then there was a Spectre LP for
• 1:10:42
  like 3 bucks on some silver Galaxy vinyl.
• 1:10:47
  Reckoning Swamp green, cloudy and 10 digits away, half blood
• 1:10:50
  red, half clear with a black splatter.
• 1:10:54
  Let's see if there's anything else in here.
• 1:10:56
  Nope, that's it. So pretty fucking cool.
• 1:10:59
  I think the entire thing was 60 bucks.
• 1:11:04
  You know, I know I have so many black shirts that I made it like
• 1:11:07
  a gag. I have a pink Slipknot shirt and
• 1:11:09
  I have like a Shane Doe mint green shirt and author and
• 1:11:13
  Punisher safety orange like a train worker or something.
• 1:11:17
  So I do love some fun occasional shirts.
• 1:11:19
  I had a blue shirt on in my other podcast the other day from
• 1:11:23
  the club in that club that's closing here in San Francisco,
• 1:11:30
  bottom of the hill. So here is we'll do it like
• 1:11:32
  this. Let's do the shirt first, since
• 1:11:34
  you just asked. So here's the shirt.
• 1:11:37
  This is fucking dope. Youth fountain fun band, cool
• 1:11:41
  shirt and I'll just could have pre folded it.
• 1:11:47
  That would have been smart, right?
• 1:11:50
  Check this. Like mustard yellow, like so
• 1:11:53
  bright, almost American cheese orange yellow, right?
• 1:11:57
  Really fun and lighting in here is pink and blue.
• 1:11:59
  So it's a little challenging but kind of dope.
• 1:12:02
  I'm going away for the weekend with my fiance for her birthday
• 1:12:05
  and bridal shower. Maybe I'll wear it.
• 1:12:08
  And now the now the vinyl, right?
• 1:12:10
  A whole bunch of vinyl for one full price thing.
• 1:12:13
  Everything else dirt cheap. Fucking dope.
• 1:12:16
  I never did tie dye. Maybe when I was in my 20s.
• 1:12:20
  I had one Pink Floyd tie dye shirt that I got as a bootleg at
• 1:12:23
  a concert when I saw Pink Floyd in 94 without Roger happily.
• 1:12:27
  But I don't do tie dye, in case you're wondering.
• 1:12:30
  I don't know if you were wondering, some people wonder.
• 1:12:34
  So here's the Koyo single. I hate the Grateful Dead bro.
• 1:12:40
  They're a great band. My brother was a Deadhead and he
• 1:12:43
  just kind of made me hate their guts.
• 1:12:45
  So this is this was the single I I tend to just away straight in
• 1:12:48
  order to call it off. Oh, this is fun.
• 1:12:51
  Check this vinyl out with the telephone.
• 1:12:54
  Very fun. Here it is.
• 1:12:56
  Here's the front and the back Very cool right.
• 1:13:01
  So there's that. And then let's see here's the
• 1:13:08
  Koyo stuff. We'll do that first.
• 1:13:12
  So here's the poster, double sided poster, kind of fun.
• 1:13:21
  And the back with the album artwork with the phone.
• 1:13:27
  No, man, I, yeah, I can't do the Grateful Dead.
• 1:13:30
  I just can't. I know they're I know they're
• 1:13:31
  very talented. Here's a sticker with a little
• 1:13:34
  QR code on the back for some other merch stuff.
• 1:13:37
  Here's the new album barely here on red and white marble.
• 1:13:41
  This is out now. I think I paid 30 bucks for this
• 1:13:44
  brand new and the rest again maybe another 30 bucks for us.
• 1:13:51
  You know like another 30 bucks plus maybe including the
• 1:13:54
  shipping for a 7 inch and two more 12 inches.
• 1:13:59
  That's fucking dope. If you collect vinyl like I do,
• 1:14:02
  I have about 1400 records. Not all here in California.
• 1:14:08
  Here's the sleeve. Here's your sleeve.
• 1:14:10
  Koyo. Barely there.
• 1:14:12
  Killer album, good band. I'd really like to interview
• 1:14:15
  them. It's like a download card and
• 1:14:19
  another poster. That's cool.
• 1:14:23
  And then here's an inner sleeve. Always put your vinyl in mylar
• 1:14:26
  inners and outers to protect your vinyl.
• 1:14:29
  This is on this looks like a pink marble.
• 1:14:31
  Very fucking cool. And the back pretty much the
• 1:14:34
  same. Look like maybe little streaks
• 1:14:36
  of white. Here we go.
• 1:14:39
  That surely is a hot take, my friend.
• 1:14:41
  I love some Chevelle songs, but I would not say they're better
• 1:14:44
  than Deftones. Deftones is a phenomenal,
• 1:14:47
  groundbreaking, breaking band. I think Chevelle started out as
• 1:14:50
  kind of a clone of Tool or wanted to be like Tool, and
• 1:14:56
  they've got a couple of bangers. I interviewed the drummer at
• 1:14:59
  Aftershock and he was really nice and I like them just fine,
• 1:15:03
  but I don't I don't think they have the material that holds up
• 1:15:06
  to Deftones. Just my personal no, no shade.
• 1:15:10
  If you love what you love, that's cool.
• 1:15:12
  I never hate on people, you know, unless you like Journey.
• 1:15:17
  I hate fucking Journey and then you don't love the Grateful Dead
• 1:15:19
  a lot. I hate them actually.
• 1:15:22
  My partner on my podcast who writes for those cult and
• 1:15:24
  interviews bands who interviewed Corrosion and Conformity.
• 1:15:27
  Don Dilamont is a dead head and met his wife because of the
• 1:15:30
  dead. I I cannot fuck with them.
• 1:15:33
  This is killer. This was This record is.
• 1:15:44
  Pure noise. Which one was this one?
• 1:15:52
  Spectre. So this is cool.
• 1:15:54
  This is the Spectre. This is hard hardcore punk.
• 1:15:58
  Front cover, front cover, back cover.
• 1:16:03
  Classic hardcore with the chains and the font.
• 1:16:11
  Yo, what's up Chris? Late night TV here, unboxing
• 1:16:14
  some vinyl and doing some metal news.
• 1:16:17
  Good to see you. I hope you have a great weekend.
• 1:16:21
  Unboxing some stuff from Pure Noise Records.
• 1:16:25
  I got my Testament reissue recently, about six weeks ago.
• 1:16:29
  That was fucking great. So here's the Spectre.
• 1:16:33
  Clear, translucent Gray. Really fucking cool, really
• 1:16:39
  fucking cool. Translucent Gray final, very
• 1:16:42
  nice, very nice job. Pure Noise records for some
• 1:16:46
  punchy, punchy hardcore spectre fun band that's like one of your
• 1:16:54
  best hacks if you want to like grow your collection, thrift
• 1:16:58
  stores, DIY punk record stores. And when a big record label like
• 1:17:04
  Pure Noise or Metal Blade or Nuclear Blast is having a sale,
• 1:17:07
  go deep, go in. You might discover your new
• 1:17:11
  favorite band and here's rotting out.
• 1:17:13
  Can't fuck with them. So good.
• 1:17:14
  Such a good band on on pure noise records.
• 1:17:18
  And I think this is an EP reckoning.
• 1:17:20
  So this is another one. I have all the hype stickers
• 1:17:22
  here. I'll have to get these home in
• 1:17:25
  one piece and put them on my disc paws.
• 1:17:31
  All right, almost done with the show in a very manageable hour
• 1:17:36
  and 17 minutes. I really can't be doing these
• 1:17:38
  things all hours of the night, but I got kind of a free weekend
• 1:17:44
  after this. So good for me, not so good for
• 1:17:49
  everybody else. All right, here is riding out
• 1:17:58
  reckoning. All these came with a download
• 1:17:59
  card, even the one I got off at this con.
• 1:18:02
  That's the black metal, the body and creed for that fundraiser.
• 1:18:06
  Again, Neil Jameson is Tool, one of the first bands to cross
• 1:18:15
  dress and perform. I mean, I think Maynard, I don't
• 1:18:20
  think that's accurate, but I don't really consider what he
• 1:18:22
  was doing as cross dressing. Much in the same way Fat Mike
• 1:18:27
  likes to wear dresses and kilts and skirts and no draws and Zach
• 1:18:31
  while wears kilts. He's not cross dressing.
• 1:18:33
  But I know what you mean. Tool's a great band though.
• 1:18:38
  I just saw Pussifer. My review is up on the site.
• 1:18:41
  It goes coldname.com. You can read it now.
• 1:18:45
  Here's the rotting out front counter.
• 1:18:48
  Looks like a shed that they rehearsing.
• 1:18:50
  Here's them in that shed rehearsing with their Raiders
• 1:18:53
  thing. Fucking cool.
• 1:18:57
  Rotting Out and it's got a little little image with some
• 1:19:07
  lyrics and shout outs and credits.
• 1:19:13
  Very good band. I saw those early Tool, You
• 1:19:17
  know, I didn't see Tool until Undertow, but I saw that tour
• 1:19:21
  with the breasts and the wig and I saw the Blue guy tour.
• 1:19:28
  Oh, this is fucking dope. I forgot about this pattern.
• 1:19:31
  This is wild. It kind of looks like a bird
• 1:19:33
  shit, but it's fucking dope with the rotting out etching.
• 1:19:37
  I don't really need an etching on the back of my vinyl, but
• 1:19:40
  very fucking cool with the hardcore logo.
• 1:19:43
  And here you go. You can see this now.
• 1:19:45
  This light is really capturing It kind of looks like a coffee
• 1:19:47
  stain or something on an old table or something man.
• 1:19:53
  So that is all the things I hope you enjoyed.
• 1:19:58
  I will maybe post this as a clip on our other socials in case you
• 1:20:04
  missed it. All right man, that is our show.
• 1:20:08
  It is a holiday weekend. As I always say, please don't
• 1:20:11
  drink and drive. Thanks for watching Marcus, you
• 1:20:13
  fucking roll. Everybody else that watched on
• 1:20:16
  all the things. Thank you so much for watching
• 1:20:19
  Ultimate Sin on YouTube. DM me, holler at me, whoever's
• 1:20:23
  still up on somehow on. TikTok on Instagram and and
• 1:20:29
  TikTok and all y'all man, thank you so much for following.
• 1:20:32
  I will follow you. I think I'm going to go live
• 1:20:34
  Monday night with a review maybe Monday and Tuesday and then this
• 1:20:38
  show is usually on Thursdays. I don't know if I need to move
• 1:20:42
  it to late night on Fridays, but typically I try to go live
• 1:20:45
  Thursday. Next Thursday night I have that
• 1:20:47
  simple tourist show in Berkeley. So I don't think that I can go
• 1:20:51
  late at this time. I think I'll try to go live
• 1:20:53
  before I do this, before I go to Berkeley for that show, but I'm
• 1:20:57
  in, I'm in Pacific Time. Marcus, thank you so much for
• 1:21:00
  following. I will follow you back.
