Day Drinking and Head Banging
Brian was up visiting Nick for the weekend when this episode was recorded and, actually, it’s the first time this year it happened. The show doesn’t really go down any differently, but it’s still fun for us. It also gets us to plan ahead better, so a lot of that happened! Like you care…

Answering the Call
What happens when Slam goes beyond Slam? When Crust/Grind/Metallic Hardcore steps aside the style a little? Or when Black Metal overpowers everything else? We have those answers and more in this episode!

Some New Shit!
We have some brandy new jams this week, ranging from sweet melodies to chaotic grind and…well, not “everything in between” but there’s a little bit of variation. We also debut this year’s gimmicky feature, which should be fun!

This Year’s Shit We Missed from Last Year
It’s that time of year again! That’s right, not much had been released yet, so we looked back at some lauded released that seemed to have eluded us until now. The question we try to answer is, “Do they live up to the hype?” Well, listen and find out!

Haken – Vektor (Inside Out)
Night Verses – From the Gallery of Sleep (Equal Vision)
Daughters – You Won’t Get What You Want (Ipecac)
Late Contenders
We are quickly approaching the end of the year, which means we have to start thinking about year-end best of lists and things like that. However, a couple of albums this week prove you can’t start too early.
The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic (Metal Blade)
Arsis – Visitant (Nuclear Blast)
Psycroptic – As the Kingdom Drowns (Prosthetic)
