A Little Extreme!

In this episode, we talk about how much we love Between the Buried and Me's new record, our theories about its title and why it doesn't make sense, and get into a little Boot Dagger Boogie.

In our new episode, we talk about Ultrapop by The Armed and how it does with "pop" what Liturgy's The Ark Work did with "hip hop".

But before that, we have a very important discussion about the new Mortal Kombat and how it compares to the 1995 Mortal Kombat (the superior version tbh), even though Alec hasn't seen the new one yet.

We're three months in to 2021 and metal has already had some majorly noteworthy releases. We talk and debate about what's stood out, including the new Genghis Tron, Ad Nauseam, Krallice, Black Sheep Wall, and Suffering Hour.

Our first episode of A Little Extreme.

In this episode, we talk about our goals for the pod, our top albums of 2020, and how Defeated Sanity is the music version of Dune.

Intro music: Lowest Point (our band)

Outro music: Crux (Alec's band)

In episode 3, we talk about Deathwish Inc. and their impact on aesthetic, sound, and beyond over the last two decades - from Converge (obviously) to New Lows, Code Orange Kids, Killing the Dream, Deafheaven, and more.

What are the different ways that metal is “extreme” and what makes those things attractive?

In this episode we talk about the rhythms of Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders, the imagery of Death and Mayhem, the speed of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and more.
