Epitome Of Stupidity: Allegedly A Metal Music Podcast

Joining me on today's show is one Jadd Shickler, a dude who is no stranger to good tuneage and wears a lot of hats in the music biz. One of which is for his band Blue Heron who is the main point of our conversation, we talk all things from the bands inception to the newest album Everything Fades with plenty of things mixed in, including...Mexican polka? Or something like that anyways. PUSH PLAY!

Joining me today is the ever awesome, Nick of Delving, and yes, Elder too. We touch base about Elder and related news there but todays conversation is more about his instrumental Delving project, recently having released the new album All Paths Diverge we talk about all the things related to the making of the album and relating to the band. It's a really stellar album and listening to him talk through some of the ways it came together was a lot of fun. Speaking of fun, we also talk about the majestic-ness of wiener dogs, and you know you don't want to miss that, so PUSH PLAY!

Joining me this week is Joe of the excellent band, Pijn, and he himself is pretty damn excellent as you'll find out via this conversation. We cover all things from how to properly pronounce the bands name, their amazing new album, From Low Beams of Hope, along with the accompanying EP, Desperately Held, all the things, themes, and feelings held within the songs and, honestly, if you hear him talk about these things and don't want to hear them for yourself you're doing it wrong on an honors level. We also talk about the revelation of understanding you don't have to be miserable just cause you're playing a sad sounding chord, overshooting deadlines...by a lot, and the Greenland Shark, because of course we do. What could you possibly be waiting for, PUSH PLAY!

Top 5 most interesting dude that's been on the show right here. Sam of Lo! not only had wonderfully elaborate and combination thought and laughter provoking answers but he also dealt with me being a little flustered as I had multiple technical issues. We got it worked out though and man am I glad we did. From responses with sentences like "an album doesn't need a passport" to the bands excitement for Shrek 5 and everything in between (and there is a damn lot, trust me), Sam has a good answer for literally everything. A interesting dude from an awesome band....Stop reading this and PUSH PLAY!

This week I am delighted to bring you a conversation between Jesper of the post metal/prog metal band Burst! We mainly talk about their run in the 00's up till now and it's a helluva conversation. Talk through all the things like why go on hiatus (and why it's a chickenshit thing to do), why eventually come back from it, things he'd do differently if given the chance, playing in basements with Gojira, mundane super powers and an explanation of sausage patties. There's no way you don't want to hear this. PUSH PLAY!

We're going Columbus centric today (back to "normal" for the next show), and to do so we've got one Joel Chastain, this guy, from putting together a large scale bash to awesome art, being an excellent drummer and just all around good damn dude he does it all. He's in the office with me and we shoot the shit about plenty of things, no small amount of which are related to his Blockout Bash and all the cool things involved with it, how it came to be, music from it, the whole 9 yards plus TONS more. We have a lot of fun along the way with more left turns than your uncles favorite race track, so sit back and have a laugh with us. PUSH PLAY!
