Show Notes
- Tim, the guitarist for Botch, was a goon at one time
- the new .hopesfall. is a lot “more mature” (softer) than their previous efforts, but I still ♥ them
- there is a flipping gorgeous drum fill about 2:40 into Ruin
- it’s also a showcase of Randy Blythe’s uniquely awsum vocal style (“I will show you all that I have mastered: fear, pain, hatred, powaaaaar”)
- 3" of Blood are pretty sweet despite being the sort of D&D metal that Kuuenbu is always trying to get me to play
thren·o·dy ('thre-n&-dE), noun : a song of lamentation for the dead : ELEGY- according to Graham Landers, Premonitions of War is the new Coalesce
- Zao are pretty scary live despite the fact that they rock out with their cross out for Jesus
- closed the show with The Casket Lottery’s cover of Helmet’s In the Meantime (with guest vocals by Coalesce’s Sean “o-tronic” Ingram)
Once again apologies for last week when the show did not air due to a lengthy transaction over my old car. If I ever know ahead of time that I will not be able to do the show, I’ll either tape a new show and send it to kalleboo or at least leave him a re-run. However, the fact that this week’s show started five minutes late can be attributed solely to mroach’s alarm clock, and I take no responsibility.
Well, ten episodes into this program, I’d say my formula is working out pretty well. Throughout the week I gather new music through label web sites and my own frequent trips to the record shop so that you can be sure to hear all that’s new and listenable right here on Dead Air. After that, I typically play a variety of oldies-but-goodies based on what’s been frequenting my in-car iPod or discussed in GBS. Then there are the inane requests that I play for you guys out of love. Perhaps their absense from this show is what made it so good.
