Epitome Of Stupidity: Allegedly A Metal Music Podcast

We had the pleasure of speaking with the very interesting Fabio of the beast of a band Varaha. He talks about his cinematic approach to writing, how he goes about letting loose on stage, an talks a bit about the very impressive line up of guests on their latest album A Passage for Lost Years, out now! Thanks to Varaha and Prosthetic Records for allowing us to use their songs A Passage for Lost Years and Climax & Exile in this episode.

WOW! Jam packed show this time ladies and gentlemen! We do a recap of the Sonic Temple Music Fest which was a fantastic time and one last thanks to them for the tickets and experience. Then we dive right into a conversation with Shapel Lacey, a comedian who performed at Sonic Temple. Cool stories about the people he met, how one becomes a comedian, and Bryan asks him apparently the worst question you could ask. Yes there's more... we then catch up with Moon Tooth's guitarist Nick, who has been on the show, but this time in person! We sit down and bullshit over a couple beers about how the tours going and get into some meanings behind some of the songs off of their latest album Crux. Huge thanks to both guests for their time and a special thanks to Moon Tooth for letting use their new single Musketeers.

Lots of good stuff crammed into 51 minutes of madness! Most notably our conversation with T.J. from Inter Arma. We get to all the hard hitting topics like the new album, his country band, how much he hates being classified as doom, and whether he likes sausage links or patties. Huge thanks to him for his time and to the rest of the band (and Relapse Records) for letting us use the brutal song Citadel off of their latest LP Sulphur English, out now. https://interarma.bandcamp.com

Field Clint catches up with Frayle at a show, Sepultura and PRO-PAIN are in the news, Bryan gets a new guitar, and we go over our Top 3 shows we have attended. In reviews we have Helms Alee's fresh release Noctiluca! Check out the album and if you haven't already go check out Episode 45 where we talk to Ben (guitar).

Alright this interview is one of the best this year for sure! Sean and Gwyn keep us laughing the entire time and talk about their dynamic, rare sound, getting Gwyn out of her shell, new music, and they give a us a killer rapid fire segment. Ever wanted to know what the heaviest riff is? Clint asks and apparently Sean responds with a winner! Huge thanks to them for their time and letting us use their song Let the Darkness In off of their EP The White Witch. Listen to the show for details on how to (easily) win a free download code for the previously mentioned EP! https://frayle.bandcamp.com

In the news we talk about David Hasselhoff for some reason (blame Clint) and Dave Ellefson's opinion on vinyl and digital marketing. To wrap us up Clint does a solo review on the new Big Business album The Beast You Are. Which is apparently really good so go check it out!!
