  Our World Peace is here. What's up?
• 1:40
  The lyrics is here. Great band.

  Check them out on their socials and check out their music.
• 1:44
  Whatever you are streaming stuff, we're here to do the
• 1:47
  show. That's what's going on.
• 1:48
  I'm going to speed run the show. I've got some travel after the
• 1:51

• 1:55
  or two. But anyway, if you're hanging
• 1:58

• 2:15
  We're using Stream Yard to stream all over the web.
• 2:17
  TikTok is not yet set up for Stream Yard, but if you want to
• 2:21
  come hang, please do. Hey, Pegs is here, got the
• 2:25
  Volbeat show. All right, my boy.
• 2:27
  That's awesome, dude. I'm excited about new Volbeat
• 2:30
  music, by the way. I haven't really talked yet
• 2:32
  about that, but any who, not our regulars, staffers or
• 2:37
  everydayers. But if you're new here and you
• 2:39
  want to drop us a tip, we greatly appreciate it.
• 2:41
  I'm going to drop the tip menu here in the comments section and
• 2:47
  not just how you know what you're paying for, but how to
• 2:49
  pay us. So I'll drop that in and then
• 2:52
  I'll get on with the show. You know, we every dime we make
• 2:58
  here at Ghost Cult, we make a little bit of money and we put
• 3:01
  it right back into the brand. And that's what I'm happy to do.
• 3:03
  Well, honestly and truly. So yeah, let's see anybody else
• 3:08
  is out here hanging out with us today.
• 3:12
  This, this picture of me there. There's going to be some fun
• 3:14
  here today. We're going to have a little
• 3:16
  more fun than usual. Check this out.
• 3:18
  So here's the thumbnail for today and my co-owner Omar
• 3:23
  Cordy, you've seen him interview people here on our YouTube and
• 3:26
  pop up and things we've we were kicking around thumbnail ideas
• 3:31
  'cause we're constantly refining what we do.
• 3:33
  I don't know if you'd be crazy about me sharing this, but I'm
• 3:36
  going to share this conversation.
• 3:37
  So we were talking about how to do better thumbnails and this is
• 3:41
  kind of hilarious. So he asked the AI to analyze
• 3:44
  our thumbnails to see if we're doing a good enough job and
• 3:47
  getting, you know, all the click clips we should get and all the
• 3:50
  clicks. Hey, Boba Freak is here.
• 3:52
  I don't know if you're a Boba Fett freak or Boba Tea freak
• 3:55
  with that screen name. If you got a fun screen name,
• 3:57
  I'm going to shout it out because that's what I like to
• 3:59
  do. But so this picture of me, this
• 4:01
  technically this thumbnail picture of me is called Cutie
• 4:04
  Pie Kefi. We're I'm doing that and I think
• 4:07
  it was inspired by Omar, who has a similar photo from a while
• 4:10
  back. But this is what AI thinks I
• 4:14
  look like. Let's discuss this for a second.
• 4:17
  I kind of look like tank the tech.
• 4:18
  If you know the famous YouTube tank the tech and twitch
• 4:21
  streamer, he's a pretty good looking guy.
• 4:24
  So I'll take this as a compliment.
• 4:26
  Kind of strange of of what AI thinks we look like here.
• 4:30
  But anyway, this is where this is the what they said to do and
• 4:34
  we did a little something similar with our typical
• 4:36
  branding and stuff. So enjoy the live stream and
• 4:40
  cutie pie tea fee. I'm sorry again for y'all on
• 4:43
  TikTok because you don't get the full experience, but if you want
• 4:46
  to come over to YouTube or Instagram, feel free to check us
• 4:49
  out there. Anyhow, it's time for the and by
• 4:52
  the way, this is just a fun photo of me.
• 4:53
  I don't really do a lot of Facebook anymore, but this has
• 4:56
  been one of my profile pictures for a long time.
• 4:57
  It's me and Ice T right before the pandemic happened in March
• 5:02
  of 2020 and was a listening party for body count, carnivore,
• 5:05
  body counts, icy and body count on tour this spring and summer.
• 5:11
  And for whatever reason, this picture is suddenly like got a
• 5:14
  little virality around it where people are like, dude, is that
• 5:17
  you and iced tea. It is me and iced tea.
• 5:21
  I'm also wearing my cat flag shirt, which is the Black Flag
• 5:24
  bars, but just the four white cats instead of four bars.
• 5:27
  I don't know where that shirt is.
• 5:28
  I got to go find it. But anyway, cheers everybody for
• 5:31
  the almost weekend. I'm going to have me a liquid
• 5:32
  death. I've been hoarding these liquid
• 5:34
  deaths because they're not going to make these anymore and it's
• 5:36
  all boy or this flavor separate lime.
• 5:39
  So cheers. I like to stay refreshed.
• 5:43
  Thanks to everybody who's watching.

• 6:59
  into the shirt rotation. Mortuus of Bay Area death metal
• 7:02
  band I'm a big fan of. I also found this camo hat, this

• 7:08
  except shorts, but sometimes a hat will do.
• 7:12
  Phil's fun TikTok is here. Michael Allen is here.
• 7:15
  I know of Michael Allen. I wonder if that's the Michael

  Allen I know Could be. But anywho, yeah, so that's the

  tip menu. There's our cash app.
• 7:22

• 7:26
  give. We just got to 1,300,000 views
• 7:30
  on YouTube. Thanks to everybody.
• 7:33
  Honestly, it's a lot of hard work.
• 7:35
  We have like 3 or 4 or five viral videos in 13 years as a
• 7:39
  brand in about 8 years being on, you know, YouTube hardcore in
• 7:43
  about the last five or six years, really doing a lot of
• 7:46
  videos and video interviews. And some of this is from Shorts.
• 7:49
  But just I'm just so grateful to do what I do.
• 7:53
  I'm really glad to talk to bands all the time.
• 7:56
  Not just me, but our whole staff is starting to chime in on
• 7:58
  interviews. King Snake said something.
• 8:00
  Thanks, pal, Appreciate it. I see how I see how it works.
• 8:04
  I see how it works on the on the tick of the talk here.
• 8:08
  Cinta Pablo is here. I hope Chicago is here.
• 8:13
  David Wright is here. I wonder if that's David Wright,
• 8:15
  the third baseman of the Mets. I doubt it highly.
• 8:18
  Maybe any who. Thirteen, 1.3 million views on
• 8:21
  on YouTube. It's nothing to sneeze out.
• 8:24
  I'm really grateful. Moving on, just a little bit of
• 8:27
  sad personal news. I kind of sat on this for a
• 8:29
  little while. My dear friend Rebecca's dog,
• 8:32
  Simple. You've seen a lot of photos of
• 8:33
  me on social media with this dog and a few other dogs.
• 8:36
  Simple passed away a while back and I waited until she started
• 8:40
  to make public posts about it because you know, her immediate
• 8:42
  friends knew but maybe not the greater world knew that this dog
• 8:46
  meant a lot to me and I really love this dog a whole lot.
• 8:49
  Look at his face look at him. He was wonderful.
• 8:52
  Just kind of had some health battles the last couple years
• 8:55
  but he was I had pet sat for him and came to visit him and then
• 8:59
  like a week later he passed away.
• 9:00
  It was super sad, but yeah, super, super sad.
• 9:05
  But anyhow, rest in power. Too simple.
• 9:07
  He was a great pupper and he's in the great Over the Rainbow in
• 9:10
  the great pupper Heaven in the sky, if such a thing exists.
• 9:13
  Michael says. My band just released a track
• 9:15
  with Pete from 100 Demons. 100 Demons rules.
• 9:18
  One of the scariest shows of my life was 100 Demons show at
• 9:22
  Upstairs at the Worcester Palladium in Worcester, MA,
• 9:26
  where I used to live nearby and people were literally broken
• 9:30
  bones and picking teeth off the floor.
• 9:32
  I was terrified. Great band, though, live also
• 9:37
  also, you know, this is a tough one.
• 9:40
  You know, like, again, our heroes are leaving us.
• 9:42
  I'm not sure why. You know, I try not to focus
• 9:46
  only on the bad news of the music world that I try to bring
• 9:49
  out the good news. But man, this this is a real a
• 9:54
  real head scratcher, man. I don't know if you guys
• 9:57
  remember the band Beowulf from the Bay Area or not the Bay
• 10:02
  Area, sorry, from Venice Beach. They were kind of a
• 10:04
  contemporary, an early contemporary of Suicidal
• 10:07
  Tendencies and excel real crossover thrash skate punk
• 10:11
  band. And, you know, their long time
• 10:16
  guitarist passed away and a bunch of people popped up and
• 10:21
  talked about this guy, Christiano de Wolbers in
• 10:25
  particular, and a bunch of people talked about this and
• 10:30
  yeah, man. Oh, not Clint and not Mike.
• 10:38
  Who's who's the guy, man? Like this is a bummer 'cause he
• 10:43
  was really like a long time dude in the band and I'm blanking.
• 10:48
  This has been a very busy ass day.
• 10:51
  Christian was in that band actually briefly like a new
• 10:53
  version of that band. We'll, you know, they had like a
• 10:58
  lot of people pass away over the over the years.
• 11:00
  So I wanted to just kind of make sure that I had it right.
• 11:03
  But yeah, man, Dale Henderson, that's it.
• 11:06
  He was the lead vocalist and guitarist and he passed and just
• 11:09
  not that old a guy. So again, like a lot of guys,
• 11:13
  like especially guys, everybody out there, they them's men,
• 11:16
  women, take care of yourselves. Especially men, though, we don't
• 11:19
  really take care of good care of ourselves.
• 11:22
  And we're, we're, we're going to lose people, man.
• 11:24
  We lost enough rock soldiers, so try to hang in there and go to
• 11:29
  the doctor and get checked out and if something feels wrong,
• 11:32
  you know, take care of yourself. Andrew Spaulding and Bart
• 11:35
  Goldberg are watching on Facebook.
• 11:37
  Appreciate you Andrew, you're my homie.
• 11:39
  It's great to see you. A couple months ago exactly
• 11:42

  What up, What up? Great, great to see you back

  because sometimes you just have to have fun and have fun with
• 12:59
  things. Stubborn Massholes is here dude.
• 13:01
  I know many stubborn Massholes or stubborn assholes, but any
• 13:05
  who and any who, here's our friend Django with Necro Butcher
• 13:12
  of Mayhem. Django and Necro Butcher were on
• 13:15
  their way to kill Euronymus. They should have been on their
• 13:17
  way to kill Vargas. Fuck that guy.
• 13:19
  But we're trying to get Django sainthood from the sisters or
• 13:22
  perpetual indulgence in San Francisco, because why not?
• 13:25
  It's fun. Django's a friend of mine.
• 13:27
  We love the dogs and the cats here and so you can go to
• 13:30
  Change.org. You don't have to give money,
• 13:31
  but you can sign up for the petition.
• 13:34
  I think the link is still in our description.
• 13:37
  Guiltless band is here. We just had an interview with
• 13:39
  Y'all. Great to see you here.
• 13:40
  Great new album from Guiltless. I'm a fan and just a reminder,
• 13:44
  we talked about some fun stuff at the top of the show.
• 13:46
  Personally for me, my band Angst has been working on new
• 13:52
  material. I'm finally singing again in a
• 13:54
  band for the first time in a long time.
• 13:56
  We've got some stuff in the works.
• 13:57
  We've been doing some very cool covers, some very well known and
• 14:01
  some not so well known, so we'll see if you guys get to hear some
• 14:03
  of that soon. Repping the fine Shammy Records
• 14:07
  label, Angst 642, which was the first version of Angst, has a
• 14:12
  single out Judge and the Jury. You can stream that everywhere
• 14:15
  now. Whip Worm has a new record
• 14:16
  coming out soon. We'll be talking more about that
• 14:19
  Angry Noise punk rock band from Michigan.
• 14:21
  Stubborn assholes. Killer welcome welcome.
• 14:24
  We love a lot of punk rock and Angry Punkin Noise is my jam.
• 14:28
  Feel free to. I don't know if you guys know
• 14:30
  this. So every band interview we do,
• 14:32
  we give a shout out to an underground band, usually an
• 14:35
  underground band, a not as well known band, a brand, a record
• 14:39
  label, a store, something about rock and metal.
• 14:43
  So if you follow us on YouTube and then send us a screen cap,
• 14:48
  we will give you a mention in a future interview and we do
• 14:51
  interviews all the time. We're about to get to them now.
• 14:55
  Steph, I'm sorry to hear you're not OK.
• 14:57
  You know, the D Ms. are always open and I consider you a
• 14:59
  friend. I am cool in the gang.
• 15:02
  But you know, stay in touch and if you need some support, we're
• 15:05
  here for you. DM us and I hope you're enjoying
• 15:10
  your records that you won in the contest we had.
• 15:12
  I know Nick was telling me that that got out to you.
• 15:14
  So I'm very happy about that. So yeah, that's my band if you
• 15:18
  want to follow my personal band Angst Music SF.
• 15:21
  Yes, it's there are money bands named Angst, but we are Angst
• 15:23
  music SF for San Francisco. Anywho, it's time for some
• 15:28
  features. That wasn't too bad 15 minutes
• 15:29
  before and now the features. Let's rapid fire through this.
• 15:35
  We had a gang of new interviews this week here on the channel.
• 15:39
  But Jester, before I get into the features and interviews, we
• 15:41
  are giving away tickets to Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas next
• 15:47
  weekend. So you have a few more days to
• 15:49
  get in on this. Go to our Instagram post, tag a
• 15:51
  friend, share the post for more entries like as opposed to a
• 15:55
  reel, but find our pin post like that post, tag a friend.
• 15:59
  That's all you got to do. If you want to follow us, that
• 16:01
  helps. But we are picking winners at
• 16:04
  random, preferably if you live in Las Vegas or near Las Vegas
• 16:07
  or striking distance to Las Vegas.
• 16:10
  It looks like a great lineup. We were super stoked to partner
• 16:12
  up with Punk Rock Bowl and we've covered it a few times.
• 16:15
  We are we are covering it again. I'm super stoked.
• 16:20
  Wayne Edwards, who's a Stringer for Ghost Cult and has his own
• 16:23
  blog and stuff is going out there one more time to to do the
• 16:26
  whole weekend and I'm really excited about this.
• 16:28
  So definitely check it out. Enter the contest and win.
• 16:32
  We'll have more giveaways and stuff in the future.
• 16:34
  I'm really pumped. So that's the thing.
• 16:37
  Now for the interviews. Here we go all the features.
• 16:41
  Rivers of Niles new record is coming out at the end of the
• 16:44
  month. But we ran my interview with
• 16:46
  Brodie Utley, who I've interviewed before I've met.
• 16:48
  I've interviewed the band a few times, including former vocalist
• 16:51
  Jake Dick Diffenbaugh. But I'm really excited about
• 16:54
  this new Rivers of Niles self-titled album, their first
• 16:57
  self-titled album. It is another sort of quasi
• 17:00
  concept record coming out on Metal blades on on May 30th and
• 17:04
  you can check on my interview there.
• 17:08
  King Snake Jakes has got a chance to see A Pawn A Burning
• 17:10
  Body in King 81-O this past week or Notch Enemy this Saturday and
• 17:14
  Obituary Monday. Nice, nice, nice.
• 17:19
  You know a pawn a burning body. I I like them when they first
• 17:23
  came out and I was never really into them once.
• 17:26
  They kind of pulled some bullshit back in the day if you
• 17:29
  remember the Mayhem fest days. But solid band.
• 17:31
  I just don't care for, you know, it's the same thing.
• 17:34
  Like Ghost Bath has got a new album out and they're one of the
• 17:36
  coolest black metal bands I've probably heard in the last 10
• 17:39
  years. And like they pulled a publicity
• 17:41
  stunt right when they came out and it just pissed me off.
• 17:44
  But I'm, they're a good band. Like I don't want to hold it
• 17:46
  against them forever. I guess maybe I'll give a pawn a
• 17:48
  Burning body another chance. I don't know.
• 17:51
  King 81-O is fresh though. I like them a lot.
• 17:53
  And of course we love Gore and Arch Enemy here.
• 17:56
  Also past interviewees of Ghost Cult Mag.
• 18:00
  Also in the interview list this week.
• 18:02
  Misfire. Just wrapping up their tour with
• 18:04
  Exodus this week. Incredible crossover thrash band
• 18:07
  with a new record out on Monarch Heavy King stole the night.
• 18:11
  I'm not surprised. They are phenomenal.
• 18:13
  They are phenomenal band. That guy could really just be a
• 18:15
  rapper. He's that good, honestly.
• 18:17
  Wally Lozano is here. Hey Wally, what's up?
• 18:20
  And then today we ran my interview with Mayors of the
• 18:22
  Race. I have followed this band for 15
• 18:25
  years. One of the best sludge and doom
• 18:27
  bands. Not very prolific, but they have
• 18:28
  had two records out in the last three years.
• 18:31
  Killer duo of just oppressive sludge metal and doom.
• 18:36
  And they are going on tour with Conan across North America,
• 18:40
  Super killer tour. I really need to see this.
• 18:42
  I've interviewed Therese Lance a few times.
• 18:45
  Just an innovative, creative genius.
• 18:47
  And I cannot brag enough about this record coming out tomorrow.
• 18:50
  It's a banger. I don't think it's listed here
• 18:53
  in the deck, but just we also ran.
• 18:56
  You know, I go to shows and I don't want to be one of these
• 18:58
  people, you know, holding my fucking dumb phone up the whole
• 19:01
  time like this like an asshole and you're behind me and you
• 19:04
  can't see. And I have trouble seeing over
• 19:06
  tall people. But I will film a song or two
• 19:09
  for social media and occasionally I will post that
• 19:12
  video if I like the song enough or I feel like we can do it
• 19:15
  justice. And so occasionally I will film
• 19:18
  a whole song of a band and then put my phone back down.
• 19:20
  So I filmed, we went to the kick off show of the Machine Head
• 19:23
  tour at the hometown show in Oakland with In Flames, Lacuna
• 19:28
  Coil and On Earth, and I took some footage of those bands.
• 19:31
  I've got a cool In Flames video to put up eventually.
• 19:34
  So we ran a Machine Head video. If you love Machine Head, check
• 19:37
  out them playing one of their killer songs on that record from
• 19:41
  their not their most recent record, but that's brand new,
• 19:44
  but their last record, Choke on the Ashes of very 8.
• 19:47
  Tell us what you think of the video.
• 19:49
  It's a little shaky, but you know, I did my best.
• 19:52
  That's also on our channel this week.
• 19:53
  So a lot of content flying around on YouTube.
• 19:55
  Check it out. Also, we have a podcast.
• 19:57
  The show will be a podcast. All these interviews are
• 20:00
  podcasts as well as some exclusive podcast content.
• 20:03
  Definitely wherever you check out your pods, check ours out.
• 20:06
  I appreciate you. And because I don't have enough
• 20:08
  to do, I am the Co host of the Glacially musical podcast.
• 20:11
  Beer, metal, swearing, vinyl, nerdism, sometimes NHL hockey,
• 20:16
  pop culture references, Kevin Smith movies.
• 20:18
  Who knows what we'll talk about? The host is Nick Cameron, I'm
• 20:21
  one of the Co hosts. The other Co host is Don de
• 20:23
  Lamont. Dillinger Compound has arrived.
• 20:26
  What up Dillinger? I'm going on a more on the
• 20:28
  regular tip time today. So you just tuned in near the

• 20:35
  I got some real ones here, Stephanie and piercing metal,
• 20:39
  NYC and King Snake, Jake and Dillinger Compound.
• 20:41
  I'm so happy. But yeah, this week for a
• 20:43
  special Chaser episode of the podcast, we unboxed the vinyl
• 20:48
  deep dive, the movie and the live album.
• 20:51
  The brand new live album by Pink Floyd.
• 20:52
  Maybe really their first true live album ever with the classic
• 20:56
  lineup Live at Pompeii. You can watch this on On Demand
• 20:59
  and streaming. It was briefly in the movies.
• 21:01
  I'm a little pissed about it 'cause I missed it.
• 21:03
  It was only in IMAX for a couple of days.
• 21:05
  Not like the Zeppelin movie that's been playing and playing
• 21:07
  and playing, but check us out. I love Pink Floyd is my favorite
• 21:10
  band ever and it's awesome to just deep dive and talk about
• 21:13
  all the things. And I'm going to watch and
• 21:15
  rewatch this documentary. I rented it for 30 days from
• 21:19
  Amazon. So for 5 bucks, nothing,
• 21:21
  nothing. Rich Davis is here.
• 21:23
  What's up? What's up Rich?
• 21:25
  Also now it's time for the news rundown.
• 21:29
  And you know what we do when we do the news rundown?
• 21:31
  First I take a sip of my drink and then we talk about metal
• 21:37
  festivals and there's a lot of them to talk about this week.
• 21:39
  So I'm going to embig in the screen and take me away for a
• 21:42
  minute and then we'll we'll get there.
• 21:46
  So yeah, remember going to festivals, how it feels coming
• 21:49

  everywhere from both fans and semi professionals.
• 23:38
  Go check it out. Also this weekend a lot of
• 23:41
  changes going on with the inaugural Boardwalk Rock
• 23:44
  Festival. Originally Mötley Crüe was the
• 23:45
  Co headliner, they dropped out, then Allison Chase took their
• 23:48

• 23:50
  now Rob Zombie has come in to save the day.

  Saturday, Def Leppard, Rob Zombie, Hailstorm, Bush
• 23:56
  Chevelle, Flyleaf, Mammoth, WVH, The Struts, Extreme puddle of
• 24:00

  Motor Van Oh, y'all know I love me some Night Ranger crossfade,
• 24:24
  Dorothy Blackstone, Cherry lit Fuel, Saliva and Tim Montana.
• 24:29
  Yeah, Trouble is out there doing their thing.
• 24:30
  I believe that our homie Carl Agel, formerly of Corrosion and
• 24:35
  Conformity, I believe is singing for trouble on this kind of like
• 24:39
  farewell tribute tour. Hey, Jamie Roberts is here.
• 24:42
  Maybe that's the Jamie Roberts. Yes.
• 24:44
  Oh, hey, Jamie, how you doing? I am currently talking about the
• 24:47
  Boardwalk Rock Fest in Ocean City, MD, a brand new inaugural
• 24:52
  fest. And originally Mötley Crüe was
• 24:55
  headlining with Def Leppard and Nickelback in Shinedown.
• 24:58
  And then they got replaced by Alice In Chains, who have now
• 25:01
  been replaced by Rob Zombie. Hey, Jamie, great to see you and
• 25:05
  I hope you're well. It's it's great to reconnect
• 25:07
  with you over e-mail and here on socials.
• 25:11
  Yeah, man, I, you know, I'm very excited for trouble.
• 25:13
  I'm a big Stoner metal fan and a Stoner doom metal fan.
• 25:16
  So, you know, rest in peace to Eric Wagner.
• 25:20
  He's one of the best vocalist to ever do it.
• 25:22
  Like there's so many people in Stoner rock and Stoner doom that
• 25:25
  are very derivative of the classic great bands.
• 25:28
  But Eric, he sound he could sound like Ozzy, but he also
• 25:31
  kind of had his own thing and I love that about them.
• 25:35
  So I hope they continue to make new music or maybe they bring
• 25:38
  back the skull and things like that.
• 25:39
  So that would be super cool. Thanks everybody that's
• 25:42
  watching. Also this weekend I wish I was
• 25:44
  here crew world festival on Saturday in Pasadena, CA.
• 25:49
  I believe it the Rose bowl grounds new order, Nick cave in
• 25:53
  the bad seeds, the go go's who have Jane weedling back.
• 25:56
  Who's my favorite Devo OMD death cult which is the cult in their
• 26:01
  pre sort of post punk band death cult garbage who are headlining
• 26:07
  everywhere all over the world this year.
• 26:09
  Madness till Tuesday. Amy Mann rolls she wants
• 26:12
  revenge. Allison Weyet of Yaz.
• 26:14
  Chelsea Wolf who I absolutely love.
• 26:17
  Stereo NC. She passed away.
• 26:19
  Buzzcock Buzzcocks. Clan of Xymox, Kite Midge, Year
• 26:24
  of Ultravox, and so many more. That is such a cool festival.
• 26:29
  Perhaps one year I will get it. Oh, is it Corey Clark?
• 26:32
  He also sang for Trouble. That's right, Corey's
• 26:34
  incredible. Corey Clark can do kind of
• 26:36
  anything. I love me some Warrior Soul.
• 26:38
  Corey is very underrated, one of the best to ever do it.
• 26:42
  I was a big Warrior Soul fan and I think Corey has been giving
• 26:45
  some interviews where he was like, I don't know if Rage
• 26:47
  Against the Machine heard me before Raging as a Machine, but
• 26:50
  kind of Warrior Soul had kind of a rappy thing too, where they
• 26:53
  were very political and did rap. Very interesting.
• 26:56
  This this kind of broke my head. This week, Trent Reznor and
• 27:02
  Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails announced their debut festival.
• 27:06
  They've been hinting for like a year they were going to do some
• 27:08
  kind of multimedia festival slash art installation events.
• 27:16
  Nice, nice work. You're in the Wasteland Ward.
• 27:22
  So, so Future Ruins is this festival.
• 27:24
  It's going to take place November 8th at the Equestrian
• 27:27
  Fairgrounds, the equestrian center of Los Angeles.
• 27:30
  I am not familiar with this. If anybody's in LA person and
• 27:32
  you know about this area, please let me know.
• 27:35
  But this is, you know, a lot of festivals say we're
• 27:39
  groundbreaking, we're unique, we're one-of-a-kind.
• 27:41
  This is all those things. So I did a live stream on this
• 27:44
  last night. When this show is over, feel
• 27:46
  free to go watch that live stream.
• 27:48
  I was a little choppy at the beginning personally, but
• 27:50
  because I was tired and then I kind of picked it up.
• 27:52
  I'm on a bunch of new meds and it's really making me very
• 27:54
  sleepy at odd times. But I'm hoping to get regulated
• 27:57
  soon. But this is basically composers,
• 28:01
  film composers, television composers.
• 28:03
  Some of the best to ever do it, including Claudia Simonetti's
• 28:07
  Goblin, John Carpenter, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, who you
• 28:10
  definitely know from Stranger Things and other things.
• 28:13
  Terence Blanchard, the Questlove doing all of like the Curtis
• 28:17
  Mayfield Superfly score and and and songs.
• 28:20
  Unbelievable. So, you know, we don't know
• 28:22
  quite what it is. We don't know quite what Trent
• 28:25
  and Atticus are gonna do. They could do a Nine Inch Nails
• 28:27
  set. 9 Inch Nails is right on tour right up until this
• 28:30
  weekend, just about all over the world starting in June.
• 28:35
  And I know that Trent said, you know, he doesn't want to tour as
• 28:37
  much anymore. His kids are getting older.
• 28:38
  He's got five kids, you know, but I'm so thrilled that he's
• 28:42
  bringing this. This thing looks amazing.
• 28:44
  Even if we don't get to go or cover it, I would.
• 28:46
  I'm just hope this it becomes a regular thing.
• 28:49
  I I definitely see it had could have potential.
• 28:53
  And here's the little thumbnail in case you go back to YouTube
• 28:55
  and you're looking for the actual video.
• 28:56
  This is the thumbnail I made with a great Photo by my friend
• 28:59
  Meg loyal photography. This was shot at Aftershock.
• 29:02
  I'm going to say 2017 or 2018. Marilyn, Jeff Fest is right
• 29:07
  around the corner. Here are the daily lineups, in
• 29:11
  case you're curious. We'll continue to pump this up
• 29:13
  and bust this up. Nicholson Jack is here.
• 29:14
  What up, bro? Good to see you.
• 29:17
  Great work on your podcast and interviews.
• 29:20
  Lately I've been following that. Very nice, very nice.
• 29:23
  So Yep, this was a surprise to me, the CBGB festival.
• 29:26
  Now I, I, you know, there's actually, I meant to mention
• 29:28
  there's a CB GB exhibit this weekend at the Alley Art
• 29:32
  Exhibition space in Chicago where they have a lot of
• 29:35
  memorabilia from Hilly Crystal's personal collection.
• 29:38
  I don't know if people know I'm from New York City.
• 29:41
  I played CBGBS many times with my bands.
• 29:43
  I attended CBGBS countless times from the mid to late 80s all the
• 29:48
  way through the closing till I relocated out of town.
• 29:52
  Kind of synonymously. This is a great lineup.
• 29:54
  Biggie Pop Jack White, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter,
• 29:57
  The Damned, Destroy Boys, Crow Mags, Angel Dust, Gorilla
• 30:02
  Biscuits. My favorite hardcore band.
• 30:03
  Never, Johnny Mar from The Smiths, Lambrini Girls, Linda
• 30:07
  Linda's Luna chicks, Oh Luna Chicks are one of my first
• 30:10
  shows. Marky Ramone scowl, Melvins soul
• 30:15
  glow, Murphy's law, teen mortgage and many more.
• 30:18
  A little surprised that Agnostic Front is not on this, but I
• 30:20
  believe it's the same weekend as Riot Fest and Riot Fest has like
• 30:25
  an Agnostic Front exclusive album place.
• 30:27
  Or maybe there was some rule that they couldn't go play
• 30:31
  another place that was similar, like another set at a similar
• 30:35
  festival that weekend. There are kind of interesting
• 30:37
  rules about festivals and festival band line UPS.
• 30:39
  Derek says he's played there years ago.
• 30:41
  Killer Derek, I'm so proud of you and I'm proud of me too.
• 30:45
  That stage was paper thin and I was like so much chubbier than I
• 30:48
  am now and just hair and chub and base.
• 30:51
  And I used to jump around a lot on stage.
• 30:53
  Kind of like A7 dust or a hate breed.
• 30:55
  And I don't know how it can go through the floor.
• 30:56
  But anyway, RPM Fest is unveiled the majority of their lineup.
• 31:02
  This is sick. We have supported as a sponsor
• 31:04
  of RPM Fest. We covered RPM Fest a lot, heavy
• 31:07
  music and camping in western Massachusetts just about Labor
• 31:11
  Day weekend. Conan Ghoul and Horrendous are
• 31:14
  the top 3 bands. Royal Thunder coming back, been
• 31:17
  a little concerned about them. Midnight Stark killed duel coma.
• 31:22
  Mierda mean mistreater, Sum Nuri I mean coma Whole who we've
• 31:30
  interviewed here recently. Borracho Mayors at the race
• 31:32
  again, so hideous. Great band, so so many killer
• 31:36
  bands. A burst is on here from Mass
• 31:38
  also so definitely check this out.
• 31:42
  This is a great experience. I've heard nothing but good
• 31:44
  things. One of these years I might make
• 31:46
  it out to this as well. Just it may not be for everybody
• 31:50
  watching this show, but Portola right here in our backyard of
• 31:53
  San Francisco. I always like to shout out this
• 31:54
  festival. Dance music, party atmosphere
• 31:57
  safe. I don't know that it's family
• 31:59
  friendly, but LCD sound system, Christina Aguilera, Chemical
• 32:03
  Brothers DJ set in the warehouse.
• 32:06
  I mean, Caribou, Magdalena Bay, Domdala, Moby, the prodigy,
• 32:12
  underworld Boy Harsher, who I absolutely love, but I really
• 32:15
  don't want to go to a festival to see Boy Harsher.
• 32:18
  But what a what a from the blood orange.
• 32:20
  So kind of a sick lineup, honestly.
• 32:22
  Also, all these festivals are happening either this weekend or
• 32:25
  this particular third weekend in September.
• 32:27
  It is bananas. It is bananas.
• 32:30
  Yeah, Pat, great to see you, bro.
• 32:32
  I'm I'm so happy to see you here.
• 32:33
  I hope you're doing great. Ryanfest has announced their
• 32:35
  daily lineups. You can check out the post that
• 32:37
  goes cult right now, headline by Blink 182, Weezer and Green Day.
• 32:42
  A lot of album playthroughs like I already mentioned, Agnostic
• 32:44
  Front, Weird Al, Yankevik, Alkaline Trio, Knocked Loose,
• 32:47
  The Pogues. I guess we're the backup singer
• 32:49
  or new singer. All time low, The Beach Boys,
• 32:53
  somehow, Jack White, Dropkick Murphys, The Front Bottoms,
• 32:57
  idols, Jawbreaker, one of my favorites, Bad Religion, The
• 33:02
  Academy Is go, Cobra Starship. Lot of killer bands.
• 33:05
  Hanson for some reason. Interesting microwave.
• 33:09
  Hopefully they get to play this time.
• 33:10
  They got rained out last time they were supposed to play.
• 33:12
  Incarceration Fest is coming up. I believe we're going to be
• 33:17
  covering this. Not loose unfortunately.
• 33:19
  Falling In Reverse. Unless you like them, I think
• 33:21
  they suck. Beartooth, Slipknot, Marilyn
• 33:23
  Manson, slaughter to prevail, 3 days, grace, death punch, Lamb
• 33:27
  of God, many other killer bands. I think a few more still to be
• 33:30
  named. Dillinger Compound says they'll
• 33:36
  prepare the ground coming up in two weeks.
• 33:37
  That is the new North American Rd. burn.
• 33:40
  That's another one. I haven't been to Toronto in
• 33:42
  many years and I probably should check that out, right?
• 33:46
  Also, again, I mentioned this last week, it does appear that
• 33:49
  the next Maryland Dune Fest is the final edition ever of
• 33:52
  Maryland Dune Fest and I am really sad about this headline.
• 33:56
  Speaking of trouble headline by the skull, which is basically
• 33:58
  trouble with other people and psychotic reaction and witch pit
• 34:05
  and ages and and hollow leg and red beard wall Friends of Ghost
• 34:09
  cult for so long and compression and High Noon Kahuna, one of the
• 34:14
  best name bands ever if and their music is cool too.
• 34:17
  So yeah, please, if you're somehow able to go to the
• 34:19
  Maryland Doom Fest, please get out and support.
• 34:22
  Also also just a reminder one more time Bloodstock open air
• 34:25
  that Ghost Cult covers every single year is quickly selling
• 34:29
  out and they have a right now in a push to get these last weekend
• 34:32
  passes and tickets gone, they are doing 20% off from their
• 34:36
  principal sponsor EMP Merch in the UK, Trivia Machine Head,
• 34:40
  Gojira, Emperor Ministry, Mastodon, Lacuna Coil, Fear
• 34:44
  Factory, Lord of the Lost Orange Goblin in one of their final
• 34:47
  shows me and that man, cataclysm Flotsam and jetsam, Static X
• 34:51
  obituary Nail bomb in an exclusive and three inches of
• 34:56
  blood and many many more, many, many more.
• 35:01
  Also, this just got announced today Night shift merch.
• 35:03
  You know night shift merch is a killer company.
• 35:06
  We have some of their stuff. They announced their party
• 35:09
  weekend volume 4 and this is a pretty sick.
• 35:13
  I love seeing the red cord on here.
• 35:14
  You know that a guy Kowansik from the red cord is on tour
• 35:17
  right now with Black Dahlia murder dying fetus with the old
• 35:23
  school logo right there. Incantation all out wore fuming
• 35:26
  mouth and many more seem seem to be getting some some massages.
• 35:34
  Some massages. All right, I got you pegs.
• 35:41
  I got you. I saw that message.
• 35:42
  If you're still watching. I just saw the text.
• 35:45
  You know, it's tough, man. I got all these screens going.
• 35:47
  It's amazing. This we're we're zipping through
• 35:49
  the show this week 'cause I got to get out of Dodge soon.
• 35:52
  Just a reminder. We'll talk more about it as we
• 35:54
  get closer. The hated and loved Tennessee
• 35:57
  medal devastation festival in eastern Tennessee.
• 36:01
  Or maybe yeah, it's taking place later this year in October.
• 36:04
  They just announced one of our favorite bands, Frail, sort of
• 36:08
  this gothic doom, witchy ambient band that I'm really a huge fan
• 36:13
  of. I've interviewed a few times
• 36:15
  here on the channel, on YouTube and they are going to now be one
• 36:18
  of the headliners. So stay tuned for more from
• 36:20
  that. This photo is a great photo of
• 36:22
  their band from from an ex ghost cultist, Ragin Rosie.
• 36:26
  She's terrific. She's moved on, moved on to
• 36:28
  other opportunities. Thanks again for still being
• 36:30
  here, Derek. I appreciate you.
• 36:33
  Thanks so much. All right, all right, all right,
• 36:35
  Nickel sack Jack, your work is top notch.
• 36:37
  I love this. I would love to see this and you
• 36:39
  on MTV live. Me too.
• 36:40
  Oh, metal thrashing mad, which is help created by metal Maria,
• 36:45
  another favorite publicist on. Thanks so much, man.
• 36:47
  You know, I never I always felt like I had a face for radio.
• 36:51
  Rick is here with exclamation points.
• 36:53
  I I had a broadcast journalism background before I went back to
• 36:57
  school for business and digital marketing.
• 36:59
  And, you know, I, I could be a very good host.
• 37:02
  I I, I can't reveal everything, but if MTV ever came, there was
• 37:06
  ever a channel that brought back like a headbenders ball type of
• 37:09
  show, I wouldn't mind putting my hat in the ring to host it.
• 37:12
  But of course, my heart is here it goes cult.
• 37:14
  But thank you, Ben. You're the best.
• 37:17
  All right, that was all the festival news for this week,
• 37:19
  Dillinger. Next week I'll talk about
• 37:21
  prepare the ground and a few other things as we get closer in
• 37:24
  to the summer season, the drama of the week.
• 37:28
  Oh, I didn't see this coming. Trivium and Bullet for My
• 37:32
  Valentine have been on this tour called the Poison Ascendancy
• 37:35
  Tour. The Poison and the Ascendancy
• 37:37
  220 year old classic metal core and thrash records and the bands
• 37:42
  had been buds and toured off and on or been on festivals together
• 37:45
  for years and years. This tour was years in the
• 37:48
  making. It has not gone well from a
• 37:50
  personality standpoint. Apparently the bands are not
• 37:53
  getting along and this tour was supposed to go to South America
• 37:57
  and Australia and Asia and Japan and it is not going to now.
• 38:01
  I think Trivium is going to continue to tour a little bit.
• 38:04
  Bullet is going to go back home to the UK and work on their next
• 38:08
  record and Trivium is trying to reconnoiter the tour.
• 38:11
  I know there was some rumors that maybe Machine Head would
• 38:13
  jump on a tour of South America with Trivium.
• 38:18
  You hate to see it. You hate to see there was like
• 38:21
  privately there was a lot of drama talking on Reddit and
• 38:24
  stuff like that. Publicly the bands were very
• 38:26
  professional, but there was a period of time where Paul Greg
• 38:30
  Aletto and Trivium kind of called out bullet on their
• 38:34
  Instagram and then took the post down.
• 38:36
  But you know, the Internet has the receipts everybody.
• 38:38
  So like really think before you speak.
• 38:41
  The music business is small. It really is small.
• 38:45
  That's why I you know, I love what I do and I feel lucky to do
• 38:48
  what I do, but it's also like you got to think first.
• 38:51
  But anyhow, they are not going to continue to tour together and
• 38:55
  we'll see what happens. Cooper municipal waste hate
• 38:58
  breed Metallica word word word Sonic temple.
• 39:01
  Yeah, I heard it was amazing on a live tendencies.
• 39:06
  One nice one. I get you, bro.
• 39:08
  Hey, something stupid with Dom. That's awesome.
• 39:10
  I we are big Danny Wimmer Festival fans and we'll be
• 39:14
  covering a few in this year. So here's the story.
• 39:16
  I wasn't going to talk about it until the band gave some more
• 39:19
  information. So this story Kelly is also
• 39:21
  here. Hey Kelly.
• 39:23
  So this story came up that there's a band called Lord
• 39:26
  Buffalo, not to be confused with King Buffalo or other bands with
• 39:29
  Buffalo in their name. They canceled their tour and the
• 39:32
  story the band gave initially was that their drummer was
• 39:35
  pulled off of the plane in Dallas right before they were
• 39:38
  supposed to fly over to England and Europe to tour.
• 39:41
  And it's originally, as the story was reported, it was like
• 39:48
  Border Patrol and police that took the drummer off the plane.
• 39:52
  And it seemed like it was motivated by citizenship and
• 39:57
  maybe racial profiling. It turns out that that drummer
• 40:00
  had warrants out for his arrest in Dallas, and that's why he was
• 40:04
  taking off the flight. That is actually a common thing
• 40:07
  if you have warrants out and you.
• 40:09
  Scan in for a flight in an airport.
• 40:11
  You might get pinged in a database.
• 40:13
  As a person of interest, the ban asked for privacy.
• 40:17
  I don't have all the rest of the details.
• 40:20
  I shared this story. I was appalled when I first saw
• 40:22
  the story because the story, as the band reported it, seemed
• 40:25
  like an injustice of sorts. So I am sorry if I played any
• 40:30
  role in perpetuating this story. It went everywhere and there are
• 40:33
  bigger websites than us that got many more hits and clicks off of
• 40:37
  the story. Sometimes if you're the first
• 40:39
  person with the story, you don't actually reap any benefits.
• 40:42
  Rico Ray is here or Rico Ray. But anyway, I think it's Rico
• 40:46
  Ray. But yeah, you know, best of luck
• 40:50
  to them. I'm sorry their tour got
• 40:51
  cancelled. And you know, the band seemed
• 40:55
  also caught unaware. So very sad.
• 40:58
  And I hope they, you know, I hope it gets straightened out.
• 41:03
  And then we were talking about this, you know, so Alice In
• 41:07
  Chains not only cancelled their festival appearances, which
• 41:12
  people are really devastated about, they were going on this
• 41:14
  tour with Chain St. Chain Street is the teenage
• 41:19
  band. Somebody's like, I lied.
• 41:21
  I did not lie. I did not have all the facts.
• 41:23
  There's a difference. I don't lie and ridiculous.
• 41:31
  Anyway, I love my friends and Mike, there's a shout out for
• 41:34
  you if you hang in there and watch the show later.
• 41:37
  But also I did the Mad Dog Russo opening.
• 41:40
  I don't know anyone else who would get that except you and
• 41:43
  other New Yorkers. But anyway, so Allison Chains
• 41:46
  not only canceled their shows, their festival shows because of
• 41:49
  Sean Kenny's illness and eventual cancellation of the
• 41:52
  whole tour. This impacted chain St.
• 41:55
  These were some national huge those for them, Mohegan Sun
• 41:59
  Arena, Nashville at the Pinnacle and the Dothan Civic Center in
• 42:03
  Alabama for Chain St. the teenage post grunge Hard Rock
• 42:07
  band. So be on the lookout for them.
• 42:08
  I feel really bad about them. We'll talk a little bit more
• 42:11
  about Alice In Chains in a minute.
• 42:14
  In that one second actually. So here's a picture here by my
• 42:18
  co-owner and partner, Omar Cordy.
• 42:20
  This is William Duvall obviously with Sean Kinney behind him a
• 42:23
  few years back. And Sean made a statement today.
• 42:26
  He doesn't really like social media.
• 42:27
  He's not on social media, but he wanted to let everybody.
• 42:30
  He's more sad and sorry to have to cancel than anybody.
• 42:34
  He understands that fans were disappointed and angry and he is
• 42:40
  sorry they're not going to be able to make up these shows.
• 42:43
  Hopefully Alice In Chains comes back in a year with a new album.
• 42:46
  I know Jerry Cantrell has more touring planned and other than
• 42:49
  the Black Sabbath farewell show with Ozzy, I don't know that
• 42:52
  Alice In Chains members are going to do anything else this
• 42:55
  year publicly. But anyway, best of luck to
• 42:58
  Sean. I hope it's nothing major.
• 43:00
  Something stupid with Dom says. I keep seeing ads for Chains St.
• 43:03
  That's right, you will be. They're they're a good band.
• 43:05
  I checked them out. Metallica continues to tour
• 43:08
  behind the M72 tour. You know, there's all kinds of
• 43:11
  Metallica activations and things, so stay tuned for more
• 43:15
  Metallica stuff. I think they're touring through
• 43:17
  the end of the year. I don't know if they're going to
• 43:19
  add any more shows. We heard recently they added
• 43:22
  obviously Dubai for the Grand Prix and Bahrain, Australia, New
• 43:28
  Zealand. Not sure what else they are
• 43:30
  doing, but here's the list if you're looking at them.
• 43:33
  Kirk Hammett is continuing to do his book tour, which you can see
• 43:38
  they will be. His next stop is 5/24 in
• 43:43
  Columbus. System of a Down kicked off some
• 43:49
  of their South American touring. And if you go on to their social
• 43:53
  media, there's a tremendous drone footage of the crowd that,
• 43:58
  like, really gives you the scope of how big they are elsewhere in
• 44:02
  the world. But very excited for the
• 44:04
  upcoming System of the Down Stadium shows.
• 44:07
  You know, we just hope they can keep it together.
• 44:09
  I don't think we're ever going to get a whole new album from
• 44:11
  them, but if they kept touring, that would be amazing.
• 44:14
  Emperor has kicked off their North American headline tour.
• 44:18
  Just a handful of shows across the country.
• 44:21
  I will be going on Saturday to see this three more shows
• 44:25
  tomorrow night in LA, Saturday in San Francisco, and Sunday in
• 44:30
  Anaheim at House of Blues and Emperor.
• 44:33
  Wolves in the throne room and Agalock I believe is the tour
• 44:38
  for the West Coast and maybe Wayfarer.
• 44:40
  Also super cool featuring all of in the night side.
• 44:45
  Eclipse basically my favorite black metal record of all time.
• 44:48
  Or one A1B with Olvers first one.
• 44:53
  Nothing's married. You're mad about the band.
• 44:55
  George Fisher is currently OK and Metallica we're at.
• 45:00
  Oh, interesting. I mean, you know, no worries Dom
• 45:06
  any who you got a few more weekends to catch ACDC Don't
• 45:11
  know if they're going to add more shows, but I hope they do
• 45:13
  Tampa this weekend. Nashville during the week,
• 45:16
  Chicago and Cleveland the weekend after.
• 45:19
  I really hope they come back this way, but it seems like this
• 45:22
  is all they're going to do for now.
• 45:24
  Also also, we got brand new tour dates in Australia and New
• 45:29
  Zealand for Brent Bjork, Trio Boy, Brent Bjork, Nick Oliveri
• 45:35
  and John Garcia all on tour at the same time.
• 45:37
  Can we not get Caius to reunite? Come on, Josh Sammoth was dating
• 45:43
  a girl living in your area yet no emperor shows ever.
• 45:45
  Damn it, how is that possible? And they probably had a place to
• 45:52
  crash. Holy shit Life of agony.
• 45:56
  I've been waiting for this. Not coming to the West Coast,
• 45:58
  but Life of Agony has announced the 30 Years of Ugly tour.
• 46:02
  I also still expect Life of Agony and Biohazard to tour
• 46:05
  together at some point, both on new music released.
• 46:10
  You can see Cannibal Corpse the louder than life, yes, I hope
• 46:12
  you get to. But yeah, Life of Agony, I know
• 46:16
  God forbid is playing a couple of those East Coast shows.
• 46:20
  We might show up at one of those.
• 46:21
  But yeah, Ugly kind of the underrated Life of Agony album,
• 46:27
  their second full length and it's kind of awesome.
• 46:30
  They have God forbid on some of these shows.
• 46:33
  And then I know in Europe they're going to have Ugly Kid
• 46:35
  Joe open for them on the Ugly tour.
• 46:38
  And and obviously Whitfield Crane used to sing for Life of
• 46:41
  Agony. So that could be very
• 46:42
  interesting if they do some of that things.
• 46:44
  Where is Ghost Cult located? Well, that's a good question.
• 46:47
  Everywhere is the answer. We started out in Europe as a
• 46:51
  Zine to cover Rd. Burn and Desert Fest and things
• 46:54
  like that. I am originally from New York
• 46:56
  City, I live in San Francisco, my co-owner and partner still
• 46:59
  lives in New York City and we have people around the globe.
• 47:02
  Just this week we covered shows in Philadelphia, Manchester,
• 47:06
  England. I'm going to be in San Francisco
• 47:07
  Saturday. We're covering Milwaukee Meadow
• 47:09
  Fest this weekend. We are global, independent, non
• 47:14
  corporate. Wish we had some corporate
• 47:16
  sponsorship, but other than that, keeping the flame alive, I
• 47:21
  appreciate you. Full Man Shoes got a tour coming
• 47:25
  up. This is the poster from my
• 47:26
  hometown here for now. Not my hometown, but where I
• 47:29
  reside, San Francisco. I probably go to this show at
• 47:31
  Great American Music Hall. Full Man Shoe, The Return of
• 47:34
  Tomorrow, which is their amazing album from last year.
• 47:38
  You know, we have a guy, a couple of people that cover
• 47:40
  Indiana, Chicago and Milwaukee, so it's like two or three people
• 47:44
  that cover those areas. We always cover Riot Fest.
• 47:46
  We have covered metal shows and festivals in Indiana at the
• 47:50
  Black Circle. I think it's the Indianapolis
• 47:52
  Metal Club, right? That's the place we go to
• 47:54
  sometimes. Jesus Lizard.
• 47:57
  I saw this tour the other day. It was amazing.
• 48:00
  Just last week it was really sick.
• 48:02
  They're going to release a live album from this.
• 48:03
  They're heading over to Europe after this weekend or this
• 48:07
  weekend actually to Paris on Sunday, so or Saturday.
• 48:10
  Pretty cool, but RAC is their new album out now.
• 48:12
  They also put out a Record Store Day EP you should check out and
• 48:16
  they were amazing. Here's your tour, Dom.
• 48:19
  Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste in Folchi, right?
• 48:22
  Yeah, that tour has been announced.
• 48:24
  I'm super pumped about it. We will probably cover it.
• 48:27
  As you know, the Ghost Skeletor continues and people are still
• 48:30
  unhappy about checking their phones.
• 48:33
  Europe is wrapping up in the next week and then on to
• 48:37
  America. America, Devin Townsend's final
• 48:42
  tour for now is wrapping up next week.
• 48:45
  Power Nerd with Tesseract as their special guest.
• 48:48
  Omar, my co-owner, caught that show in New York just as a fan
• 48:52
  and it the setlist looked amazing.
• 48:55
  I saw it. Just a spoiler, a minor spoiler
• 48:57
  I saw. I peeked at the setlist.
• 48:59
  I'm not really coming here. They're doing LA and I'm not
• 49:03
  going to be able to get to it. So I'm bummed.
• 49:05
  But hopefully when Devin comes back, we'll get to him also.
• 49:09
  Also, An Evening with Testament is still on tour right now,
• 49:12
  performing the classic Practice What You Preach.
• 49:15
  I have this record on vinyl and I love this record so much.
• 49:19
  And they're also doing some festivals.
• 49:21
  Sasanta continues to tour with Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect
• 49:24
  Circle and awesome Dom, I'm glad you're getting to go see that.
• 49:27
  That's amazing. Casiero is here.
• 49:31
  I hope I said that correctly. But yeah, we'll be covering
• 49:34
  Sasanta. Also coming up soon, Baroness,
• 49:38
  Red and Blue tour. We got a review coming next week
• 49:40
  from that tour, playing all of red and Blue.
• 49:44
  Baroness, one of the best to ever do it live.
• 49:46
  I love this band. Casket Robbery kicked off their
• 49:50
  new headline tour, brief headline tour for the summer.
• 49:54
  And last night they played in Wisconsin, followed by the
• 50:00
  Ladies of Metal Fest in Wyoming, Denver this weekend on Sunday
• 50:06
  and Nebraska on Monday. When I saw Testament they did
• 50:10
  just play practice, but they also played some other stuff.
• 50:12
  Yeah, they play like their, I think when it's their headline
• 50:15
  show, they are doing mostly practice what You Preach and
• 50:18
  some hits. And then I think in a festival
• 50:20
  setting they only have like 30 or 35 minutes.
• 50:23
  Big Testament fan. I've been rocking Testament all
• 50:25
  week. Honestly.
• 50:26
  Like on a Big Testament kick, decapitated Krypton, C war
• 50:30
  bringer incarnation continue to ride through Europe.
• 50:33
  You can check our website for review of that tour.
• 50:38
  Once again, we're at the halfway point of the show.
• 50:39
  We're more than halfway. Just a reminder if you want to
• 50:42
  throw us a tip. I am really appreciate it.
• 50:45
  It helps all the money goes back into the company.
• 50:48
  Another sip of the liquid death. My homie asked about turnstile.
• 50:54
  I think we covered turnstile a lot the last couple of weeks
• 50:58
  under the bridge in Brooklyn. yo-yo, I is that the same spot
• 51:03
  they used to have like Primus and Faith No More on the
• 51:07
  waterfront. There's that all apartments now.
• 51:08
  Mike, do tell. I, I went back to New York a
• 51:12
  year and a half ago and I, I didn't spend that much.
• 51:15
  I didn't really go to Brooklyn much.
• 51:17
  It was mostly in the boogie down.
• 51:18
  I did go to Saint Vitus before they closed.
• 51:20
  That was a bummer. Just a reminder, in case you're
• 51:23

  What's up? Big Tyron, good to see you.
• 53:02
  All right, Metallica's load box set is coming out.
• 53:05
  You've heard me talk about this already.
• 53:07
  They dropped a video this week of Kurt Hammett unboxing the
• 53:10
  whole box set with a very ominous knife stuck in a table.
• 53:14
  Do you ask that table before you penetrated it, Kurt?
• 53:17
  I don't know, but the load box set is massive.
• 53:23
  It's like 300 bucks. I'm not super interested in it.
• 53:25
  The one of those box sets that I wanted were the early 80s ones.
• 53:29
  Not too in to load and reload and certainly not Saint Anger as
• 53:34
  much. Eventually I'm sure we will get
• 53:36
  box sets for all these Metallica releases.
• 53:40
  Be nice if they repressed and reprinted some of the Master of
• 53:43
  Puppets ones. They are going for a lot of
• 53:44
  money on the secondary market. I cannot afford them.
• 53:49
  This is super cool. One More Satellite is a band
• 53:51
  that features British singer Pete Shoulder and Stone Top of
• 53:56
  Pilots is Dean Dileo and they dropped the new single and they
• 53:59
  have a new album coming and the fan base of of the fan base of
• 54:05
  Stone Temple Piles was pissed. This is not Stone Temple Piles
• 54:07
  music because it sounds like STP, like Dean's guitar style is
• 54:11
  in there and his like very 70s Zeppelin and Deep Purple
• 54:14
  influences and stuff. And Pete's a very good singer.
• 54:17
  He's not Jeff Gutt or Weiland or Chester, but he's a very good
• 54:21
  singer. So it's a super different
• 54:22
  flavor. I'm kind of excited about this.
• 54:24
  I, I know Dean doesn't do a lot of press.
• 54:27
  He doesn't like the media or social media, but I would really
• 54:30
  love to talk to him and Pete about this.
• 54:32
  They're on the bucket list. Was it James?
• 54:35
  Because he is the table. That is correct.
• 54:37
  He is the table. Yeah, definitely.
• 54:39
  You know, drop comments with the bands you like and you want to
• 54:42
  hear more about or hear me check out.
• 54:44
  You know, once I stop streaming on TikTok, they're kind of gone
• 54:47
  and I can't look at the stream replay.
• 54:49
  So the best place to do this is either DM us, jump on YouTube in
• 54:53
  the comments, or, you know, Instagram because I could at
• 54:57
  least rewatch it with the comments.
• 54:59
  But YouTube the comments are saved, you know, but I
• 55:03
  appreciate you, Dom You're awesome.
• 55:04
  You really are. Cattle Decapitation dropped a
• 55:08
  documentary this week that was really cool.
• 55:10
  I saw a few minutes of it. I got to sit down and kind of
• 55:13
  deep dive. This looks like red Rocks in
• 55:14
  Colorado, but really super cool. Cattle Decap touring all of
• 55:18
  Europe and America this year. Super, super cool.
• 55:21
  Big fan. This is like the news right
• 55:24
  before we went live and I was really shocked by this.
• 55:27
  This is I love when my screen with my notes doesn't cooperate.
• 55:38
  I Prevail has parted ways with Co founding singer Brett
• 55:43
  Burkhiser and I was really surprised about this.
• 55:46
  They decided to go Brian Burkhiser and decided to part
• 55:49
  ways to our I Prevail family. Today we have shared that we are
• 55:54
  mutually parting ways with Brian.
• 55:55
  This is a difficult decision but we believe it is the right one
• 55:58
  and we are grateful for the 10 epic years we shared together.
• 56:01
  We wish Brian nothing but success and happiness in his
• 56:04
  future endeavors. Moving forward, Eric will
• 56:06
  continue the powerhouse front man you know and love.
• 56:09
  He will be backed up live by Dylan who you've seen in this
• 56:12
  role many times over the years and we performed without Brian.
• 56:14
  Rest assured, we will continue to live our high energy shows
• 56:17
  and we made the pillar of our band.
• 56:20
  So, I mean, you know, yeah. Dusk Waller.
• 56:23
  I know who that band is, by the way.
• 56:25
  Yeah, of course. You know, it's interesting.
• 56:28
  It's really interesting. Oh, the American way.
• 56:30
  Sacred, right, 35. Dude, I love sacred right so
• 56:32
  much. Yeah.
• 56:33
  I'm going to make a post about that later on.
• 56:36
  Orbit Culture. Huge, awesome band.
• 56:38
  They got a new single out. They announced a new album.
• 56:40
  There's a lot of new music coming.
• 56:42
  Guys, this is the time of the year for the new music.
• 56:44
  So surprising news from my Prevail Nickel sack.
• 56:50
  Hey, Nickel sacks on YouTube now that Cattle Decap duck is well
• 56:53
  worth the two hour watch. Terracite is their latest great
• 56:56
  album. Yeah, they're so awesome.
• 56:57
  We have a great interview with with them on our YouTube if you
• 57:01
  want to check it out. Vince Smith music is here.
• 57:04
  What's up, Vince? One more for the road.
• 57:07
  This is Fugitive, which features members of Creeping Death and
• 57:13
  Power Trip and a bunch of other Fort West Fort Worth bands.
• 57:17
  They have signed the Blue Great Music that is the record label
• 57:20
  that has Code Orange and Gasket and a few other bands and they
• 57:24
  dropped the new single and a little bit of.
• 57:27
  I don't do a lot of rumors, but I know that Power Trip is
• 57:30
  talking to record labels and they might actually sign with a
• 57:33
  new label soon. What was my favorite and 1st
• 57:36
  concert? You know I was asked this last
• 57:38
  night on a stream. Also dumb, I think my favorite
• 57:40
  concert ever is the first time I saw Tool and my that's not
• 57:46
  that's my favorite. Woodstock 94 would be a close #2
• 57:51
  there are so many. And then I think my first
• 57:56
  concert ever, it's hard to judge because my mom took me to a lot
• 57:59
  of jazz concerts when I was a little, little kid.
• 58:02
  So I saw like Miles Davis and stuff and Dizzy Gillespie when I
• 58:06
  and, and Mel Tormé and, you know, Tony Bennett when I was
• 58:10
  really, really little. First rock, major rock concert I
• 58:15
  ever saw was Russian Kansas at Madison Square Garden when I was
• 58:19
  13 on the I'm going to say Presto tour or Roll the Bones.
• 58:25
  Which one came first? I don't remember right now
• 58:27
  because I'm old and then I probably saw like some jazz
• 58:31
  bands or some jazz singers 1st and then I went to a bunch of
• 58:34
  punk shows and metal. Yep.
• 58:35
  Power trip on headbands boat. Awesome.
• 58:37
  I'm hoping to go on that also at some point.
• 58:41
  In Human condition. That's the band with Jeremy
• 58:43
  Kling. He has a who is not in Slipknot.
• 58:47
  One of my favorite things that'll last few years.
• 58:48
  They dropped the new single. This is the cover of their new
• 58:50
  artwork for their new album. Super pumped for that.
• 58:55
  This is Pig pen led by Maddie Matheson.
• 58:57
  You might know him from the TV show The Bear.
• 58:59
  He's also a celebrity chef. His hardcore punk band.
• 59:03
  I checked out the first song and video and it's super fun.
• 59:08
  We will be calling. Hey, he is here.
• 59:10
  We'll be covering Louder Than Life as well.
• 59:12
  Thanks so much for being here. I appreciate everybody on TikTok
• 59:15
  for commenting and giving arts and gifts and whatever.
• 59:19
  That's cool. Killswitch Engage has another
• 59:21
  top ten album with their album This Consequence is out now on
• 59:25
  Metal Blade. Big Killswitch fan.
• 59:26
  You know they're doing the run of dates right now with Shadows
• 59:28
  Fall. More festivals and dates to come
• 59:31
  from Killswitch Engage. We are almost done with the show
• 59:37
  people. Helmet dropped a live video in
• 59:40
  the studio at KEXP that is a radio station that covers both
• 59:45
  Seattle and San Francisco, where I live.
• 59:48
  I'm a huge Helmet fan. Everybody knows that.
• 59:50
  Saw Jeremy manning the drums with Venom Ink a few years ago.
• 59:54
  Great guy, great guy. He has In Human Condition, which
• 59:57
  he screams for. So imagine the guy drumming for
• 59:59
  that band. And he also has a pop punk band
• 1:00:05
  called 4 FORE like 4G. But I'm a big Helmet fan.
• 1:00:12
  People know that. I would hope that my band will
• 1:00:14
  sound a little bit like Helmet when we finally start putting
• 1:00:16
  out music. Helmet and Prong and Metallica
• 1:00:19
  and Slayer and things that I love.
• 1:00:20
  Suicidal. So yeah, man, this is a pretty
• 1:00:24
  great thing. Helmet is on tour all year long,
• 1:00:26
  celebrating a the anniversary of Betty, the Betty album, which I
• 1:00:32
  think is their most popular record.
• 1:00:33
  Probably. TikTok is trying to get rid of
• 1:00:39
  me. I'm back, this is Yelawolf and
• 1:00:44
  the country artist J Michael Phillips.
• 1:00:46
  They have a new single out right now.
• 1:00:48
  Yelawolf. New album coming soon.
• 1:00:49
  Big festival guy. I've never seen Yelawolf solo
• 1:00:52
  show but really fun in in festival setting for a quick hit
• 1:00:58
  kind of rap. Little punk, little metal core.
• 1:01:00
  Super cool guy. I got the pre sale tickets for
• 1:01:03
  Hamburger's Boat. So you get the photo op of Lamb.
• 1:01:05
  That's sick. I've met and interviewed a
• 1:01:07
  couple of members of Lamb of God First show with Sebastian Bach.
• 1:01:12
  I love Sebastian Bach and Lita Ford and you saw Pantar's fifth
• 1:01:16
  show. Oh that's cool man.
• 1:01:17
  That's cool, cool, cool, cool. Here's Born Of Osiris, They
• 1:01:21
  dropped the new video in a single and they have a new album
• 1:01:23
  coming out on Sumerian Records. A lot of rumors going around
• 1:01:26
  that Lee McKinney picture here on the right hand side of the
• 1:01:29
  photo, the ginger that he is probably quitting Born Of Osiris
• 1:01:32
  to join Tim Lambisis new band and or a new version of As I Lay
• 1:01:37
  Dying. I don't know, I don't know all
• 1:01:40
  the details yet, but that was the hot rumor this week that
• 1:01:42
  maybe Lee has quit Born Of Osiris.
• 1:01:44
  It would be a blow if he leaves. Here's Pupil Slicer.
• 1:01:49
  They've got a new single out and they're playing some European
• 1:01:51
  festivals and touring. Killer math core band.
• 1:01:54
  If you like Dillinger, you would love this band, Dillinger
• 1:01:57
  Compound. I'm sure you know who they are.
• 1:01:59
  Here's the homies and inside featuring the son of Max
• 1:02:02
  Cavallera, Richie Cavallera. I'm I love this band and I love
• 1:02:07
  Richie. He's one of the best dudes out
• 1:02:08
  there and they have a new single and a new album coming out in
• 1:02:14
  August on Raining Phoenix Music label.
• 1:02:17
  Yes, Tim is that guy. Yes, he is.
• 1:02:19
  We've talked a lot about it. We've interviewed him actually,
• 1:02:22
  you know, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough times.
• 1:02:26
  What are you going to do? Just a reminder, you know, we
• 1:02:28
  did a whole thing last week at the end of the show on some of
• 1:02:30
  my fun colors and Super 7 toys in my collection.
• 1:02:34
  Terrifiers getting a Funko finally.
• 1:02:36
  So I know people are a huge fan of the Terrifier franchise.
• 1:02:40
  Super cool likeness here. If you still collect these
• 1:02:43
  things, which of the Cavallera brother kids are they?
• 1:02:46
  Oh, Insight. Is Richie the oldest?
• 1:02:49
  I know that Max is kind of in a band now with like all of his
• 1:02:53
  different bands with all of his sons except Richie.
• 1:02:55
  But Richie has Insight And if you love Lamb of God, Insight
• 1:02:58
  sounds a lot like Lamb of God to me.
• 1:03:01
  Richie is great. Opinions on the Killer's
• 1:03:03
  Confession personnel leaving mid tour?
• 1:03:06
  That is a bad one. We talked about it a while back.
• 1:03:08
  Jake, I think you missed the show.
• 1:03:11
  You know, the reality is that touring is going to be harder
• 1:03:13
  and harder. You're going to get more bands
• 1:03:15
  canceling tours, announcing stuff and then canceling.
• 1:03:19
  It's really tough. And then of course, not just the
• 1:03:22
  tariffs and just the fees of getting work visas for US bands
• 1:03:26
  to go to Europe and European bands to come here.
• 1:03:29
  The next few years are going to be really, really tough.
• 1:03:33
  We haven't talked about it recently.
• 1:03:35
  We talked about it about a month ago where Prague Power that used
• 1:03:38
  to help bands come over to the US by paying their visa bills,
• 1:03:42
  can't afford to anymore. So they've asked their fans that
• 1:03:44
  have already bought tickets to the festival to donate more
• 1:03:47
  money so the bands can make it a really bad situation.
• 1:03:49
  It's not their fault, but it's really tough.
• 1:03:53
  I think we interviewed Waylon from the Killer's confession.
• 1:03:58
  He's great and a professional guy.
• 1:03:59
  I think just the realities of touring, people are not
• 1:04:02
  realistic about how hard it is, about how tough it is to do the
• 1:04:06
  van. I'm getting old and when my band
• 1:04:09
  finally starts playing gigs, I am not going to get in a van at
• 1:04:13
  53 years old almost and tour around the country.
• 1:04:16
  It will not happen. I doubt it highly.
• 1:04:19
  Maybe a road trip and a hotel, minimally.
• 1:04:22
  I don't think I could hold up. You know, I'm just being real,
• 1:04:25
  just being real. Razor Sakai is here.
• 1:04:28
  What's up? Razor Sakai?
• 1:04:29
  Is that the Takai Sakai Fantano? Here we go.
• 1:04:33
  So Oh my God, Sleep Token, one of the most talked about bands
• 1:04:37
  out there, drop their new album. Even in Arcadia.
• 1:04:42
  I like the record. Is it their best record?
• 1:04:44
  No. Is it a bad record?
• 1:04:45
  I don't think so. I think Pitchfork Consequences
• 1:04:49
  Sound Fantano, they're all like, I think he gave it a like to and
• 1:04:53
  listen like he's in our ad network and I've always
• 1:04:55
  respected Fantano and he's been working a lot with a friend of
• 1:04:58
  mine, Ebony Butler, Ebony Butler Medal and coffee on TikTok and
• 1:05:03
  Instagram and stuff. We used to be right, a writer
• 1:05:04
  for Ghost Cult and a radio DJ in Philly.
• 1:05:07
  She's a bad ass. You know, I think it, you know,
• 1:05:12
  I think some of this stuff is for clicks a light too.
• 1:05:16
  Like it's not a terrible record. It's just not a great record.
• 1:05:19
  You know, it's not their best. So I think a lot of people make
• 1:05:23
  up your own mind about what you like.
• 1:05:26
  I'm saying that as a person that has a website that reviews a lot
• 1:05:28
  of albums, but definitely also read reviews and then listen to
• 1:05:32
  it yourself. When I saw Exodus, they brought
• 1:05:35
  out the singer of Havoc. Oh yeah, sure.
• 1:05:37
  I've interviewed David from Havoc.
• 1:05:38
  He's awesome. War is my shepherd.
• 1:05:40
  Great song. So yeah, you know, I don't know.
• 1:05:43
  Do you still read reviews? Everybody watching right now,
• 1:05:45
  drop a comment and tell me, do you still read reviews of albums
• 1:05:48
  before you listen or after you listen?
• 1:05:50
  Like to help make up your mind? I don't know, we are still
• 1:05:53
  heavily reviewing albums every year.
• 1:05:56
  We'll at least do 500 this year if not more.
• 1:06:00
  Just a reminder, the new and improved Reborn and Remastered
• 1:06:05
  update of Slayer 66 2/3 is out now by R pal DX Ferris.
• 1:06:10
  I love this dude. I want to interview him for at
• 1:06:12
  least both my podcasts. I have an earlier version of
• 1:06:15
  this book. I'm going to get the new version
• 1:06:17
  of this book. I love Slayer.
• 1:06:19
  Slayer. Yeah, I got you, man.
• 1:06:23
  I got you. Answers of Aries, which features
• 1:06:27
  former members of Iced Earth, has been announcing some shows
• 1:06:30
  and now they've announced a brand new album.
• 1:06:32
  Still remains to be seen if Tim Barlow, who is the
• 1:06:35
  brother-in-law of John Shaffer, will go back to Iced Earth.
• 1:06:38
  That's the rumor. I love this little meme.
• 1:06:41
  This has been going around. Why CD still matter?
• 1:06:44
  Streaming is easy, but is it worth it?
• 1:06:45
  I love this. You could say the same thing for
• 1:06:47
  vinyl. I do love, you know, it's kind
• 1:06:51
  of funny, like, go listen to one physical record a week that's
• 1:06:54
  not on Spotify and not on YouTube or not on all these
• 1:06:58
  things. You know, just a thought.
• 1:06:59
  Just a thought, everybody. That means we're almost done
• 1:07:04
  with the show, everybody. I appreciate everybody for
• 1:07:06
  watching. Time to talk about new music
• 1:07:09
  Friday. Here are the new albums coming
• 1:07:11
  out this week you need to pick up.
• 1:07:14
  We try to make it as comprehensive as possible and do
• 1:07:18
  our best. So I'm gonna read this off the
• 1:07:20
  screen and then you'll see my face again.
• 1:07:22
  Sorry, I've been off the screen for quite a while.
• 1:07:25
  Album's coming out this week. We're gonna do band, album,
• 1:07:28

• 1:12:14
  Friday, which leaves the last part of the show, the mailbag.
• 1:12:17
  And so you know, again, we talked about fun codes a little
• 1:12:20
  earlier last week in the mailbag.
• 1:12:22
  I talked about my fun codes and toys.
• 1:12:23
  I want to talk a little bit more about comic books.
• 1:12:27
  Record Store Day and Comic Book Day kind of are are having some
• 1:12:31
  weird parallels for me where I think they're starting to kind
• 1:12:34
  of diminish in people's hearts, which is OK because it's a
• 1:12:38
  consumerist world and these are tough times economically for
• 1:12:41
  people. Listen, if you're watching this
• 1:12:42
  show you love nobody's just like I like metal ones.
• 1:12:45
  Nobody is like I'm casual rock fan.
• 1:12:48
  You love rock, you love metal with all your heart and soul,
• 1:12:51
  every fiber of your being. So just to keep it real, real,
• 1:12:55
  real, I went, I missed comic book day the day of, but I went
• 1:13:01
  to my comic book shop and I, I bought some stuff and I checked
• 1:13:04
  in with them and I bought some jeans and I bought a book and I
• 1:13:07
  bought some boards and some bags.
• 1:13:08
  And I said, how'd you guys do for comic book day?
• 1:13:11
  And he was like kind of bad. And I'm worried about like the
• 1:13:14
  future of this thing. And I was like, that sucks.
• 1:13:15
  I'm so sorry to hear that. So they had a table still with a
• 1:13:21
  lot of leftover free books. Go to your local comic shop,
• 1:13:24
  find a new title to get into. It's not everything needs to be
• 1:13:27
  Marvel or DC. Man, there's so many wonderful
• 1:13:30
  innovative independent creators and Zine makers ghost called
• 1:13:34
  starters a digital Zine. Like I still care about the
• 1:13:37
  printed material. We obviously look man, I got AI
• 1:13:39
  got a fun coat of me made for me by friends of mine.
• 1:13:42
  Look at this look at the resemblance.
• 1:13:43
  It's me. He's even got a beer can and a
• 1:13:45
  microphone. It's totally me.
• 1:13:47
  There's a baseball hat here somewhere, like a trucker hat.
• 1:13:50
  I think it's like fell over. But yeah, I think I have it
• 1:13:54
  here. So like, look at this man.
• 1:13:56
  Like, you know, we love these things.
• 1:13:57
  Look at this guy, man. It's me.
• 1:13:58
  It's like, it's me. It's literally me.
• 1:14:01
  But anyway, I wanted to share some books with you guys.
• 1:14:05
  So I've been talking about books.
• 1:14:06
  I've been talking about the The Ghost comic book a lot lately.
• 1:14:09
  So I have issue 2. It is sold out almost
• 1:14:12
  everywhere. I got one off of eBay.
• 1:14:13
  I had to fight a little kid for it.
• 1:14:15
  Here's issue 2 of Sister Imperida.
• 1:14:17
  Issue 3 is out this week. It's going to sell out.
• 1:14:20
  Definitely make sure you get it. Let's just take a quick flip
• 1:14:23
  through the book. I'll oh this is my copy to read.
• 1:14:27
  I might take this with me on my trip out of town, but I don't
• 1:14:29
  like to transport my books out. Record store day in southern
• 1:14:34
  Indiana. That's great.
• 1:14:35
  That's awesome, Dom. I'm really like super stoked to
• 1:14:38
  hear that, Dom. I feel like we would be friends
• 1:14:42
  if we lived near each other. So here's the beautiful.
• 1:14:43
  This is dark Horse comics, great comic book imprint that covers
• 1:14:49
  up an ad for another title, Ripper Land.
• 1:14:52
  Hopefully you can see that. And let's just, you know, oh,
• 1:14:55
  it's got the new comic book smell, you know, beautifully
• 1:14:59
  made book. I think Tobias Forge
• 1:15:02
  collaborated on this story, which is pretty cool.
• 1:15:05
  I know they killed off Sister Imperator if you're following
• 1:15:08
  the ghost sort of story narratives on YouTube, but this
• 1:15:11
  is beautiful. Man, I'm so excited.
• 1:15:13
  I read issue 1 and then I bagged it right up and I'm not going to
• 1:15:16
  open it again. I'm hoping I can land.
• 1:15:19
  I think I I pre-ordered issue 3 and 4 from a comic shop that I
• 1:15:24
  like just to make sure that I got it right.
• 1:15:26
  And I want to make sure I don't get tape on my book.
• 1:15:29
  Is that what's up? And then I just want to talk
• 1:15:32
  about some titles that I got shipped to me and also a bunch I
• 1:15:35
  picked up for no spoilers, Michael, no spoilers.
• 1:15:39
  And so here's just a few things that I got for comic book store
• 1:15:42
  today. And I think there's some child
• 1:15:44
  titles that I'm going to donate to kids in my building.
• 1:15:46
  I'm just going to leave a pile for them.
