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…
Reviews:
He Is Legend – White Bat (Spinefarm)

Darkness, Imprisoning Mix
It was a loooong week, complete with a late recording, and now a late posting. We may not be on our A-game in this one, but some of our releases are, well close. I guess we have between a B-C game going here. I’ll stop rambling…just check out the new music.
Reviews:
At The Gates – To Drink From the Night Itself (Century Media)
Skinless – Savagery (Relapse)
Lik – Carnage (Metal Blade)
Bonus Review:
Ride The Sun and The Trikes – The Second Coming of Heavy: Part 8
When the Normal One Isn’t
The diversity of heavy music stylings is something we pride ourselves on with this podcast. But sometimes we even surprise ourselves, like when a more “typical” album becomes the proverbial sore thumb of the week. It’s not a bad thing in anyway, just something a little different.
Reviews:
Black Map – Trace the Path (eOne)
Barren Womb – Old Money/New Lows (Spartan)
Erdve – Vaitojimas (Season of Mist)
When something is described as “Extreme Metal”, you probably think of grinding, brutal, violent Metal. If that is one extreme, though, that means there is another. That other is likely some form of Power Metal – epic, symphonic, and fantasy-driven. We don’t quite go to the far end of this extreme, but we wander down that path to bring you this week’s album reviews.
Reviews:
Iced Earth – Incorruptible (Century Media)
Unleash the Archers – Apex (Napalm)

The title isn’t suggesting there is a bunch of garbage awaiting you in this episode. It’s just noting that some of the content, even while good, is not as good as it could be. It also references one host’s Bandcamp pick for the week. Listen through and you’ll get it. Trust me.
Reviews:
Mutiny Within – Origins
Carnal Decay – You Owe You Pay (Rising Nemesis)
Sunvoid – Through the Dazzling Illusion
First Impressions:
He Is Legend – “Sand” from Few out April 28th from Spinefarm
