Ride the Dial
This week’s albums were a little better than the last two! Are we finally on an upswing?? Too soon to tell, but stay tuned to find out. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these albums!
Architects – Holy Hell (Epitaph)
Cult Leader – A Patient Man (Deathwish)
Four Stroke Baron – Planet Silver Screen (Prosthetic)
If you feel like Brian sounds “tired as fuck” in the episode, you’re not alone…Nick already pointed that out. You are not wrong either…I was shot. I still made it through this jam-packed and kinda long episode, giving you 100% of the 50-60% capacity I was at because the show must go on….
The holiday season is here, and you will be shopping on Amazon. Please consider changing your bookmark to our site and using the album art on the side to get there! Amazon will give us a small percent back from your purchase and we use that to keep the show and site up and running. Thanks!

So, now that you have recovered from your food comas and Black Friday shopping antics, you can can relax and check out some new tunes and reviews. We were going to do one of these reviews last week, but, much like the album we reviewed, that show ran longer than we intended. We also have a live review! It derails a bit into a discussion of setlists, production, and the overall execution of concerts, but that’s just as interesting a topic to get involved with, in our humble opinions.

Vision of Disorder – Razed to the Ground (Candlelight)
Otargos – Zeno Kaos (Kaotoxin)
