Ch-ch-ch-changes
We have talked about the evolution of a band’s sound or sudden shifts in style many times before on this here show. Well guess what? Those discussions happen again this week, based on varied examples. You have been warned.
Reviews:
Exhumed – Death Revenge (Relapse)
Enslaved – E (Nuclear Blast)
Veil of Maya – False Idol (Sumerian)
In Search of Sun – Virgin Mother Funk (Spinefarm)
Darkness in Many Forms
Atmospheric and brooding. Gothic and creepy. Venomous and aggressive. These are just some of the ways we get to hear the dark this week. Generally speaking, they are all enjoyable, it just comes down to what you prefer. If you’re not sure, just stick through he show and try them all!
Reviews:
Mastodon – Cold Dark Place (Reprise)
Cradle of Filth – Cryptoriana: The Seductiveness of Decay (Nuclear Blast)
Great American Ghost – Hatred Stems from the Seed (Good Fight)
Vices to Veils – Exist Expire
Live Review:
Gojira, Torche, and Code Orange at Webster Theater in Hartford, CT on October 6, 2017
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.

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….
