Villain 50/50

Episode 5

An industrial duo, consisting of Fransico Pineiro and Andrew DeSanctis, hailing from Erie, PA Fransico describes the project as, "a musical argument with self and others about perspectives that are seemingly never ending. It’d rarely be one thing or a singular view. Weaknesses could be strengths just as much as strengths could weaknesses, right or wrong is often a matter of perception. It’s an expression of conflict for better or worse.”

Obscene

Episode 6

Hailing from Indianapolis, IN and after impressing with their 2018 demo, ‘Sermon to the Snake,’ Obscene make their LP debut with a renewed sense of ruthless aggression in ‘The Inhabitiable Dark.’ They entered Earth Analog Studios in Tolono, IL in summer of 2018 to lay down 8 tracks of death metal fury. Not adhering to any sort of ‘caveman’ or ‘cavernous’ trend in the current climate, this album harkens back to the early FL and Dutch death metal scene as well as nods to U.K., Scandinavia, New York, touches vicious thrash and riff oriented traditional heavy metal to go along with an unhinged acidic vocal style. Artwork provided by cult artist and legendary great, Mark Riddick in one of his best works. Come with Obscene down in the Inhabitable Dark.

Bakasura

Episode 7

Bakasura is a four-piece Blackened Deathcore band from Pittsburgh PA. Our style borrows heavily from the cold guitar tones that Black Metal has popularized, while also creating a fresh sound of crushing breakdowns and fast-paced riffs.  Our debut EP titled Beckoning Our Annihilation offers something for fans of black metal as well as deathcore, while also creating themes inspired by the Hidetaka Miyazaki game Bloodborne.

Narwhal Bloodbath 

Episode 8

Narwhal Bloodbath is a Metalcore band From Bradford PA.

Devin and Jesse wanted to start a band in 2016, later we found Mark and Chris and Narwhal Bloodbath was born. The entire project was centered around the idea of putting fun back into metal. We didn't want to take ourselves too seriously, or be just another depressing heavy band, so we started writing songs about pastafarianism, Black beard, Gengis Khan, and other ridiculous topics. Thematic and fun is and always will be our mantra.

Haine

Episode 9

Haine started off in late 2017 by Claudio (bass,) and the then original guitarist, who recruited Chris (vocals) and Konrad (drums). All members have quite a longstanding role in the Maltese local metal scene with other acts such as Abysmal Torment, ClubMurder, Repugnance and Fallen Icon and it was time for a Maltese band to venture into deathcore territory, which was quite lacking at that point. The “project” soon cemented itself as an up and coming band in the local metal scene and after the first the band had a line up-change in mid-2019 with James and Jack joining as permanent guitarists. The band immediately started working on the first debut self-titled EP, which has been recently released in January 2021. The aim of the band has always been to forgo all perceived notions and pre-existing scene stereotypes to create their own brand of extreme music and most importantly, to play some crushing breakdowns! Haine’s music is a reflection of such a great opportunity to take on diverse musical influences and merge them into a new sound. This has resulted in deeply layered sound combining heavy grooves and innovative breakdowns punctuated by melodic overtones. Despite Haine having deep-roots within the Deathcore approach to music writing, the aim has always been to come up with a new and fresh take on an ever-evolving style of music.

Synopsis:

Your boys are goin' roundhouse kick across the globe for Episode 9! We're talking Denver, Texas, Quebec and Malta? You're damn right. Some surprise beers lead the way to some somber, controversial news. But we blast beat the rhythm back into gear to provide a collection of tunes perfect for bleeding your eardrums dry.

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Burn It Down from Haine.

Haine started off in late 2017 by Claudio (bass,) and the then original guitarist, who recruited Chris (vocals) and Konrad (drums). All members have quite a longstanding role in the Maltese local metal scene with other acts such as Abysmal Torment, ClubMurder, Repugnance and Fallen Icon and it was time for a Maltese band to venture into deathcore territory, which was quite lacking at that point. The “project” soon cemented itself as an up and coming band in the local metal scene and after the first the band had a line up-change in mid-2019 with James and Jack joining as permanent guitarists. The band immediately started working on the first debut self-titled EP, which has been recently released in January 2021. The aim of the band has always been to forgo all perceived notions and pre-existing scene stereotypes to create their own brand of extreme music and most importantly, to play some crushing breakdowns! Haine’s music is a reflection of such a great opportunity to take on diverse musical influences and merge them into a new sound. This has resulted in deeply layered sound combining heavy grooves and innovative breakdowns punctuated by melodic overtones. Despite Haine having deep-roots within the Deathcore approach to music writing, the aim has always been to come up with a new and fresh take on an ever-evolving style of music.

What Haine is drinking:

Malta is the proud brew house for the “Cisk Lager”. Golden in colour, it is a bottom-fermented lager, with an alcohol content of 4.2%, with a bold and refreshing taste on the palate. It is well balanced, not too bitter but not dilute and can hold its own against many of the more well-known global brands. This is the pride and joy of all Maltese beer-lovers. The company recently delved into brewing craft beers also, such as the Blue Label Amber Ale, Double Red Strong Ale and unfortunately the discontinued Farsons India Pale Ale (IPA). As a band, we of course local Cisk Lager either during rehearsals, recording, live gigs, everywhere really. Claudio is the craft beer connoisseur and just loves his hoppy-beers such as The Crew (Hop Junkie), Wayward IPA, Black IPA Thawack and Hobgoblin IPA among an infinite array of other hoppy beers!

Synopsis:

Todd and Arie are back at it again with Episode Se7en of BREWTAL! Cheers to the country not falling apart last week and here's to a fruitful, and juicy IPA, of a year moving forward. Your boys take a stroll down the boulevard of what they're drinking, talk festivals where beer and metal converge, why the genre should dabble in cinema, new releases from bands we're digging including our featured band of the week: Bakasura One nation under heavy and hoppy!

This week's episode features Hunter's Lament from Bakasura. This track also features guest vocals from Michael Cobin of BREWTAL alum, Casketmaker.

Bakasura is a four-piece Blackened Deathcore band from Pittsburgh PA. Our style borrows heavily from the cold guitar tones that Black Metal has popularized, while also creating a fresh sound of crushing breakdowns and fast-paced riffs.  Our debut EP titled Beckoning Our Annihilation offers something for fans of black metal as well as deathcore, while also creating themes inspired by the Hidetaka Miyazaki game Bloodborne.

The band says that out of all of them, their vocalist Sean has the best taste in drinks. Sean prefers hard ciders, but his favorite beer is Victory Brewing's Sour Monkey.

Synopsis:

What's up y'all? This is episode 6-6-6, just kidding. Hell, it might as well be after 2020. But here we are and your hosts Todd and Arie are back at it again like they never missed a beatdown! Episode 6 doesn't pull any punches.

This is Brewtal Podcast, drink!

This week's episode features This Is He Who Kills from Obscene.

Hailing from Indianapolis, IN and after impressing with their 2018 demo, Sermon to the Snake, Obscene make their LP debut with a renewed sense of ruthless aggression in The Inhabitiable Dark. They entered Earth Analog Studios in Tolono, IL in summer of 2018 to lay down 8 tracks of death metal fury. Not adhering to any sort of ‘caveman’ or ‘cavernous’ trend in the current climate, this album harkens back to the early FL and Dutch death metal scene as well as nods to U.K., Scandinavia, New York, touches vicious thrash and riff oriented traditional heavy metal to go along with an unhinged acidic vocal style. Artwork provided by cult artist and legendary great, Mark Riddick in one of his best works. Come with Obscene down in the Inhabitable Dark.

When Obscene isn't consuming that good, cheap beer they're enjoying Black Circle Brewing Co's Dead Ed Nightmare and Hail Santa stouts.

Episode 5 Breakdown:

• Catching up with the boys (:48)
• What we’re drinking (20:48) (Texas Beer Co's Hoppy Clouds Peach IPA and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale Peppermint Porter) 
• Metal news (23:08)
• What we’re jamming this past week (45:21)
• Closing remarks (55:10)
• Featured band (58:32) (Villain 50/50)

Synopsis:

New year, still BREWTAL! Your hosts catch up in our first episode of 2021. Arie tells Todd about his birthday trip to NOLA and why everyone must visit the Museum of Death, including other notable dives. In craft beer news, Todd finds the beer he's been searching for in Texas. The boys then talk metal headlines, including the loss of guitar legend Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, what's brewing in the scene, as well as, the songs and albums that have been getting them through the past week. Nu metal is discussed in-depth as a perfect segue to their featured "Band to Watch For": Villain 50/50

This week's episode features The Nothing from Villain 50/50.

An industrial duo, consisting of Fransico Pineiro and Andrew DeSantis, hailing from Erie, PA Fransico describes the project as, "a musical argument with self and others about perspectives that are seemingly never ending. It’d rarely be one thing or a singular view. Weaknesses could be strengths just as much as strengths could weaknesses, right or wrong is often a matter of perception. It’s an expression of conflict for better or worse.”

As for the brews, Andrew is more of a hard cider, like Angry Orchard or Blakes, and whisky, honey to be exact, then beer guy. He champions sours or stouts, such as Voodoo Brewing Company's Lacto Cooler sour, his boy Kenny Sutton's home brewing excursion: Karma Man.
