BREWTAL

Episode 38 Breakdown: Catching up with the boys (:48) What we’re drinking/Beer news (8:25) (Agua Straight from Todd's Apartment and Starbucks Viatnam Da Lat Reserve Blend) Metal news (17:29) Upcoming Tours (38:14) Brewtal Alumni Updates (39:28) New music (43:38) Featured band (58:16) (Vancouver BC Deathcore Outfit Carcosa)

Synopsis:

Stare into the Void with your boys as Todd and Arie take this episode to celebrate the legacy of H.P Lovecraft, and the lyrical content of this week's featured band, by going sober!

The weird doesn't stop there, though! Todd will be channeling his inner Greek gods and goddesses out of the country while Arie plans to make his triumphant return to live music. What????

The boys channel different forms of lifebloods with Todd snagging some water straight from his apartment's tap and Arie uses water to brew his Starbucks Reserved blend coffee. Who are these people??

Whitechapel announce their new album 'Kin,' and drop a FIRE new single 'Lost Boy,' Angelmaker, Loathe, and Bring Me the Horizon are all teasing new music, there's no bad blood, only blood brothers, for Lil Nas X and Tony Hawk, Motionless in White hit the road for the first time in two years, and we get HUGE releases from Iron Maiden, Carnifex, and Foreign Pain. Will the madness ever end??

That's a rhetorical question. You'll be too scared to sleep after losing yourself with our Featured Band Carcosa blending the worlds of True Detective and H.P. Lovecraft for their track Hypnos. Time is a flat circle, hopwolves.

Turn it up to 11, crack open that beer, it's about to get BREWTAL!

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Hypnos from Carcosa.

Bio:

If time is a flat circle, then 2 things are true:

1) Deathcore's return was inevitable.

2) Andrew Baena, Johnny Ciardullo, Cooper Lagace and Travis Regnier were destined to form another band.

The quartet killed off predecessor Galactic Pegasus' djenty metalcore as their writing trended deadlier. So intense was Carcosa's devotion to death that the body was still warm when they started.

Their June 2020 unveiling and release of the 'Absent' EP 2 months later took them from disregard of to mastery over death.

Carcosa stares into the abyss—knowing everything happens in cycles but with nihilistic knowledge, everything ends. Their name, as well as the black, yellow and spiral-laden imagery, were inspired by 'True Detective.'

One could argue their lyrics and sound came from the hopeless mind of Rust Cohle. The music borders on apocalyptic but accepts the bleak end as the twin of the hopeful beginning. It’s the kind of doom-and-gloom through which The Acacia Strain and Chelsea Grin channeled their brutality, tempered with the futuristic noises of contemporaries like Brand of Sacrifice.

The lyrics on debut LP 'Anthology' don’t follow the tragic journey of their debut, but the collection renews its endless loop construction. The new release drops on the year anniversary of its predecessor (8/19) and the final track seamlessly segues to the opening of both.

Though done intentionally for 'Absent,' on 'Anthology' it happened without conscious thought; time is a flat circle, indeed.

What Carcosa is drinking:

Andrew (guitar) and Johnny (vocals) are the only two people in the band that drink beer consistently but Johnny can say with full confidence that both of their favorite beers are 1664's Kronenbourg Blanc

Bio:

Pieced Up is a 4 piece Death Metal band from Southwest Florida that draws influence from old and new school death metal, beatdown, hardcore and deathcore. “Pieced Up” is a fighting term for landing successive hits on someone with no counter from the opponent, or just beating the shit out of someone for short. We write songs about death, betrayal, fighting and general violence.

What PU are drinking:

• James (vocals) prefers cheap beer like PBR and Busch

CHI CHI CHI AH AH AH, hopwolves! This episode Todd and Arie, literally, put on their favorite hockey masks to celebrate Friday the 13th this year. 

Todd is celebrating his favorite slasher franchise by binging the machete weilding mama's boy's films while eagerly awaiting a new Friday the 13th fan film. Arie reconnects with some old friends for a film gig and contines to bebop around Indy with his partner.

Both hosts are hella stoked for their beer selections this week with Todd making his Space Way into the Modern Times enjoying something other than a pilsner. Arie literaly runs to the store to avoid being Hopped Alive by Beer Zombies. AHHHH!

The metal floodgates were bursting at the seems with both Reflections and Signs of the Swarm releasing heartfelt band statements, Trivium and Megadeth making headway on their latest albums, while the almighty Lamb of God celebrates 15 years of Sacrament. Tours with the likes of Carnifex are heating up while COVID is still trying to slow things down forcing bands such as Architects to change tour plans around. Oh! Did we mentioned that both Slaughter to Prevail and Lorna Shore dropped their newest release?? Kinda of a big deal!

Speaking of big deals, Billy Boy In Poison are taking us to the White Hills of Copenhagen, Demark to bestow their fresh take on modern death metal. The Danish know a thing or two about crushingly, groovy songwriting!

Turn it up to 11, crack open that beer, it's about to get BREWTAL!

Featured Band:

This week's episode features White Hills from Billy Boy In Poison.

Bio:

Billy Boy in Poison from Copenhagen offers an aggressive but very diverse take on death metal with heaviness, melodic choruses and even some metalcore and deathcore vibes. Strong songwriting combines with a top notch vocal performance to create a sometimes brutal, sometimes catchy, but always insistent sound.

BBiP put out two very well-received albums in 2013 and 2017 and is now ready with the third album UMBRA on September 10, produced by Chris Kreutzfeldt (MØL, Cabal, Ghost Iris).

After multiple festival appearances and short tours abroad, the band is now gearing up for touring in earnest and showcasing the new material.

What BBIP Is Drinking:

Christian (Bass) really loves Point Blank IPA from Warpigs

Hjalte (Vocals) is enjoying some Kroenbourg Blanche

MIkkel (Guitar) is quite fond of NEIPAs, but really just hazy or bitter IPAs in general. Recently he has enjoyed some tasty brews from Gamma and Deya.

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Shroud from The Breathing Process.

Bio:

Alongside their counterparts in Abigail Williams and Winds of Plague, TBP were the first out the gates in terms of bringing a symphonic, melody driven black metal influence into modern deathcore, setting the benchmark in 2008 with their genre melding debut In Waking : Divinity. Fusing Unearth Oncoming Storm era style breakdowns with Dimmu Borgir flair reminiscent of Puritannical era, then adding the syncopated attack of the likes of Decapitated, TBP had unknowingly created a sound that would be imitated by many to come. TBP are the true originators of modern blackened deathcore and have returned to claim their crowns. Their fourth album Labyrinthian is a majestic and nightmare fuelled journey deep into blackened death metal done how it’s supposed to be. Featuring guest vocals from David John Simonich (Signs of the Swarm), Jamie Graham (Viscera) & a monumental mix and master from Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Inferi)

What TBP is drinking:

"We drink Peroni Nastro Azzurro almost exclusively. There is usually always a case of it in our studio at all times. For anyone who's never tried it, it's kind of like Stella Artois, but better. That and Hamms!!"

Synopsis:

Todd TAKES a trip back to 1984, sort of, with Mordred's newest album "The Dark Parade" while Arie stays busy with film gigs, graphic novels, and some Resident Evil 8 action.

For the first time in Brewtal history both Todd and Arie are repping that Big Texas flavor with their beer selections. Todd squares off in the PIt with his Pilsner and some tasty BBQ, while Arie gets lost in the history of Deep Ellum with his IPA.

This was a big week for metal news, hopwolves! On oppositie ends of the metal spectrum, Carnifex and Iron Maiden announce new albums dropping hella soon, Brand of Sacrficie are teasing us with some new music, and Bad Wolves have officially completed their newest album, "Dear Monsters" with their new singer DL. 

We saw some dope new releases from Sleep Waker, Attila, Worm Shepherd, Cane Hill, Between the Buried and Me, and Brewtal alumni InRetrospect, just to name a few.

As exciting as all of this is we cannot TAKE away from our featured band this week. We're not trying to figure out The Hard Way what would happen if we forget them!

Turn it up to 11, crack open that beer, it's about to get BREWTAL!

Featured Band:

This week's episode features The Hard Way from TAKE.

Bio:

TAKE is a mix of hardcore, metal, rock and even a little hip hop like you've never heard. When you listen to their albums every song is different and pulls from a multitude of heavy genres to form a unique listening experience that will punch you in the face.

What TAKE is drinking:

"Okay, not a beer drinker, don't drink tea or coffee, 99% water except when it comes to root beer floats haha. Love those! But nothing against those that enjoy any of the above drinks." - John

Beers fueling this week's episode include Twisted X Brewing Compnay's Pitmaster Pilsner (Todd's pick) and Deep Ellum Brewing Company's Deep Ellum IPA (Arie's pick.)

• Pitmaster is a Pilsner brewed with German and Domestic malt and hopped with Apollo, German Tettnang, and Simcoe. Super light and crushable for that heavy Texas BBQ, Pitmaster Pilsner is coming in at 4.2% ABV. Twisted X Brewing Company is located in Dripping Springs, Texas.
• Deep Ellum is an IPA bearing the name of both the brewery and the neighborhood it is based out of! With such big (texas) shoes to fill they really bring the flavor with a nice, bitter hit of American hops on the front end with some floral, tropical, and citrus notes to follow it up. Big texas flavor and a solid 7% ABV. Deep Ellum Brewing Company is located in Dallas, Texas.

Synopsis:

But Hopwlves, it's Shark Week! Or at least it was during the recording of E31 of Brewtal, regardless, it's always Shark Week in our blackened hearts.

This episode has Todd recovering from his first float trip, and some brewtal fire ant encounters, while Arie teared up during The Ghost Inside livestream.

As much as Todd wanted to remember his fire ant encounters he decided to go with a Fire Eagle for his beer(works) selection, while Arie stumbled upon a Wild Little Thing, no it wasn't a shark, in his fridge for his beer selection.

Opening up the metal floodgates we found that the legendary Iron Maiden dropped their amazing new track, 'Writing on the Wall,' the almighty Phil Bozeman has teasing us with some BTS content for their upcoming 8th album, our boys in Haine got on a few dates with Shadow of Intent, Angelmaker, and The Last Ten Seconds of Life, not to mention more killer new jams from Crytsal Lake, A Night In Texas, and Slaughter to Prevail!

We float down from the shark infested waters into Hell of the Human variety for our featured band this week. Your life was one deprived, but will be fulfilled by the end of the episode.

Turn it up to 11, crack open that beer, it's about to get BREWTAL!

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Life Deprived from Human Hell.

Bio:

Human Hell. Absolute finality. Void in rest. terra firma. Firmly in terror. Unanswered, we continue life deprived. We’re following up from our most recent single Amalantrah with a much heavier sound. Life deprived is released on all streaming platforms from July 16th

What Human Hell is drinking:

Our favourite beer is pretty much anything from the Camden Town brewery, mostly notably Camden Hells and Camden Pale. We also are very fond of Mikeller - Hair in the Mailbox.

Beers fueling this week's episode include Austin Beerworks' Fire Eagle (Todd's pick) and Sierra Nevada's Wild Little Thing (Arie's pick.)

• Fire Eagle is an American IPA that, "flavor swoops in (cue EAGLE SCREAM), grabs you by the face and flies you through the hop rainbow. At the peak of the ride it swoops back to earth and gently drops you back on your bar stool where you are refreshed, excited and ready to ride again." Easily, one of the best descpritions from a brewery out there, Austin Beerworks! This American IPA will have you screeching for sure after having a few of these bad boys coming in at 7.3% ABV. Austin Beerworks is located in Austin, Texas.
• Wild Little Thing is a slightly sour ale that is light-bodied and refreshing! With notes of guava, hibiscous, and strawberry Wild Little Thing is very easy drinking with a 5.5.% ABV to boot. Very dangerous! Sierra Nevada is located in Chico, California and Mills River, North Carolina.

Episode 30 Breakdown:

• Catching up with the boys (:48)

• Metal news (19:08)

• Featured band (51:34)(Arizona Nu-Metalcore Outfit Dead Echo)

Synopsis:

The boys hit another milestone with their Dirty Thirty episode and have a really cool chat with Reality Grey's Anto Addabbo.

The time has finally come for Todd to embrace the float for a bonding trip with new co-workers while Arie gets lost in the comfot of his first new bed in YEARS.

Todd keeps things Spot On, per usual, with his beer selection while Arie sticks to the Modern Times with his Hazy IPA.

We're Hip To Be Scared with Ice Nine Kills, Waking the Cadaver arise from their grave with some filthy new material, and Lamb of God once again team up with beer titans Brewdog for another NA collab beer for some of our sharp points of discussion.

Of course, our featured band is bringing Violence from the heat of Phoenix, Arizona to your speakers. This is the Dead Echo Vibe. 

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Violence from Dead Echo.

Bio:

Dead Echo is a five-piece American nu-metalcore band, and hailing from the heat of Phoenix, Arizona, they are out for blood. Drawing influence and approach from bands like Alpha Wolf, Darko US, Varials, Dealer, Degrader, and Emmure, Dead Echo is a force to be reckoned with straight from the outset, with nowhere to go but up. This is The Dead Echo Vibe. 

What Dead Echo is drinking:

Now, this was a tough one, because the five of us have a very eclectic palate. We all have a love for Mexican beers like Dos Equis & Modelo and San Tan Brewing Company beers naturally because we all are from the Southwest, and STBCo. is a local brewery to us. Another one we all enjoy is called “Big Blue Van”; a 5.4% ABV blueberry wheat beer! However, more specifically:

Harry, our vocalist, loves Bud Light Lime and Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy.

Brett, our lead guitarist, loves mixing Guinness with Killian’s Red!

Tyler, our rhythm guitarist, loves Kilt Lifter, and basically anything that’s not an IPA.

Adrian, our bassist absolutely loves San Tan Brewing Company’s “Juicy Jack” Juicy Hazy IPA.

Corey, our drummer, hands-down loves San Tan Brewing Company’s seasonal “Sex Panther” 6.8% ABV Double Chocolate Porter.

Beers fueling this week's episode include Thirsty Planet Brewing Company's Spot On Pils and Modern Times Beer's Caliban Hazy IPA (Arie's pick.)

• Spot On Pils is a classic Czech-style pilsner, balanced with Bohemian pilsner malt, Saaz hops, and a crisp lemongrass finish. It’s the perfect beer during a game of fetch or after a relaxing off-leash hike through the Greenbelt. Spot On Pils is spot on with it's 4.4% ABV. Thirsty Planet Brewing Company is located in Austin, Texas.

• Caliban is a part of Modern Times Beer's rotating Hazy IPA series with amazing color and even more amazing flavor with bright tropical fruit, berries, lemon, and crisp citrus that’s practically guaranteed to improve your immediate point of view. Caliban comes in at 6.9% ABV, nice. Modern Times Beer is located in San Diego, California.
