No, this is not a list episode. There is just an inadvertent decrease in numbers of some sort that happens. Anyway, there’s some good stuff in here, including a review of the new Junius album (finally!). So stop reading my banter and get listening.
Reviews:
Junius – Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light (Prosthetic)
Hark – Machinations (Season of Mist)
Wolfheart – Tyhiyys (Spinefarm)
First Impressions:
Wear Your Wounds – “Fog” from WYW out April 7th from Deathwish
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:

Teethgrinder – Nihilism (Lifeforce)
First Impressions:
Disperse – “Stay” taken from Foreward out February 17, 2017 from Season of Mist
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….

Protest the Hero – “Harbinger” taken from Pacific Myth out November 18th from Razor & Tie
It is said “variety is the spice of life.” You don’t get much more “variety” than listening to 15 minute long Doom songs next to minute and a half long furious Hardcore Punk songs. We at least do you a solid and throw some Mathcore-ish stuff in the middle. It makes the transition easier. Trust me.
