Well, your hosts don’t argue much here, but we welcome you to argue with us! This week we share a few lists that are not our albums fo the year, including lists like Best Artwork (which you can see below), Most Disappointing, and Worst Albums. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
We hope you have wonderful holiday with your friends and family!
It is a little early for that, but Mother Nature is showing signs of it sometimes. And one of our bands this week made an album for those 70 degree sunny days. Like with Mama Nature, we didn’t ask for it, but got it anyway.
Reviews:
Benighted – Necrobreed (Season of Mist)
Disperse – Foreword (Season of Mist)
Reaping Asmodeia – Impuritize (Prosthetic)
First Impressions:
John Frum – “Presage of Emptiness” from A Stirring in the Noose out May 12th from Relapse
Amongst this week’s bands we have talented show offs, a “supergroup,” and a band that probably needs a mouthguard. Also, Nick fought through the elements, construction sites, and a car fire to get to Brian’s house to record this show. Well, not specifically to do that, but it happened.
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!
Reviews:
Animals as Leaders – The Madness of Many (Sumerian)
Serpentine Dominion – Serpentine Dominion (Metal Blade)
Teethgrinder – Nihilism (Lifeforce)
First Impressions:
Disperse – “Stay” taken from Foreward out February 17, 2017 from Season of Mist
It’s that time! Time for Brian and Nick to share their top albums for 2013! And this year, there are more than ever! After individually making lists of more than 20 albums (beyond 20 was largely undecided when they worked on the collective list), the combined lists brought a Top 25!! There were so many great albums this year, it was hard not make a list this long. Realistically, it should be even longer because there are even more great albums that didn’t make the cut because of math, but there was just not enough time (and energy) to go further.
So, without further delay, here is The Sideshow Podcast’s Top 25 Albums of 2013! Feel free to discuss and debate (and leave your own lists) in the comments.
Last week, we celebrated Valentine’s Day by being “those” Metal guys and reviewing mostly Black Metal. This week, we bring back the spice of life and cover four different kinds of metal in our reviews. We still have a little Black Metal this week, but it’s mixed with a bit of Hardcore, a dash of Death Metal, and a pinch of Progressive. Kyle is once again MIA, so Brian takes the wheel to navigate through the various sub-genres and also shares his live review from his recent experience with The Devin Townsend Project and Gojira.
Reviews: Disperse – Living Mirrors; Enshadowed – Magic Chaos Psychedelia; Shai Hulud – Reach Beyond the Sun; Suffocation – Pinnacle of Bedlam
