Horrible Earth is a Grind band from Boston.

Aggression is a Canadian Thrash Metal band that was founded in 1985. This episode is tracked during load in at Ralph's Rock Diner in Worcester, MA. I botch a Brendan Gallagher question (thought he said Jagr) and the 3rd mic isn't audible. Shots are fired, on an empty net.

Terence and I have been out of touch for about 10 years. We've recently connected and met up to talk about our experience playing together in Ascendancy. The highlight of our time playing together was an exhausting 3 week tour of Peru and Ecuador which was strung across about a dozen gigs. This is our earnest attempt to recollect a hectic tour that took place 15 years ago which results in the longest podcast I've tracked to date.

Welcome to yet another inquisitive outreach of cultural exchange. Moths is a Prog/Psych Metal band from Puerto Rico. I know nothing about PR. This episode features a new microphone setup between 6 people, so it's a little rough on the ears at times, particularly when we talk Baseball. https://mothspr.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MOTHSPR/ https://www.instagram.com/moths_pr/

Blue Spinazola is a professional musician who's spent most of his life preforming Death Metal with acts like Dysentery, Fit for an Autopsy, Internal Bleed and Sexcrement. https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Blue_Spinazola/3804 FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY https://www.facebook.com/FitForAnAutopsyOfficial/ https://fitforanautopsy.bandcamp.com/ DYSENTERY https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Dysentery/19021 https://www.facebook.com/dysenterygrind https://www.instagram.com/dysenteryslam/ https://comatosemusic.bandcamp.com/album/fragments

Black Metal is serious business! For the record, the session player for Shunyata who is featured here, absolutely blocked me from social media. Probably the funniest moment I've captured yet!

Frank Mullen is an absolute legend. No one will ever be able to replace him. Yet, that doesn't stop me from trying to find out who the next Frank Mullen is. The entire episode occurs as 500+ fans are piling into The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts to bid farewell to the man, myth and legend. This is me walking the line as fans enter the club. Without a doubt, this is one of the most ridiculous episodes I've ever done. Totally surrounded by Death Metal maniacs. Suffocation rules. Thanks for an amazing career Frank. We'll all miss you.

This starts off with a TMS and Adam Boudreau. Harvest Manipulation and Matriphagy follow. Razzle Bones of High Command closes out the episode. Cauldron - In Ruin, is playing loudly in the background, forcing me to yell into the microphone.
