Lawnmower Deth.  Often ignored, usually misunderstood, but has been a staple in my ears and in my heart since the early '90s.  The boys from Nottingham took quite the hiatus and are back with a new album after a 28 year gap; their first record since 1993's "Billy."  In this episode I talk with Pete Lee, vocalist for Lawnmower Deth, and we listen to a couple new songs, an old song, and discuss various things such as bread rolls, the importance of the Grindcrusher comp, Dan Seagrave, and why the band took such a long break.

So, pass the aux to Pete, and join us for a delightfully punk/thrash conversation and hear why Lawnmower are better than ever!

Closing song "Raise your Snails" from the upcoming Lawnmower Deth album 'Blunt Cutters' out January 28th on Cherry Red Records.

On Episode 46, Dylan Neal of Thief came on the show and played us a bunch of crazy music.  This time, Dylan and I sit down and listen to the new Thief album recently released by Prophecy Productions entitled "The 16 Deaths of my Master." Dylan shares with us production techniques, reveals hidden gems within the songs, and we discuss the themes and ideas within the music.

This is, without a doubt, my album of the year, and has been in constant rotation at my house, and in my car, as well as being incessantly in my head.  Dylan is a fascinating person, an engaging artist, and "The 16 Deaths of my Master" is a staggering work of heartbreaking genius.

Please pass the aux to Dylan, and join us as we discuss our teenage years, geek out over plug-ins and VSTs, and delve into the world of Thief.

Feral Season is good.  Feral Season is damn good.  The band's debut album, "Rotting Body In The Range Of Light," out on Profound Lore records harkens back to the second wave of Norwegian Black Metal, but without truly biting the style, or sound.   Karl and I delve into a couple songs off of the album, discuss the writing process and the themes behind the record, an manage to listen to some of his doom-death band, Occlith, as well.

So pass the aux to Karl, and join us as we nerd out over Enslaved, Mayhem, EVPs, and absolutely gush over the new Cannibal Corpse record.

I always assumed that episodes with my daughters would not be as engaging, or appreciated, as episodes with notable musicians, but listener feedback has been overwhelmingly positive for these breaks in the normal programming.  So, we are back with “Listener Requests Part III” with Ione Walton.  These installments tend to blend podcasting with sound collage at times, and this is no different.  Ione and I go through some listener recommendations, and we each play a couple of choice cuts as well.  

Pass the aux to Ione and I as we critique your choices in music, and discuss manta rays, chores, vaccinations, and food carts.

Today we tell the humidity to take a hike, and we delve into the minds of Hunter Ginn and Gael Pirlot; two linchpins in a long-running yet vibrant collective based out of Georgia.  Together these two are members of Canvas Solaris, Plague Psalm, and Gorging Shade, and through the duration of this episode, we listen to, and discuss, each of these fascinating projects.

Hunter, Gael, and I also talk about Sepultura, Samael, and ponder the very nature of instrumental music.  So please pass the aux to Hunter and Gael, grab yourself a biscuit or two, and prepare yourself for some awesome music, and even more nerdy obsessive music discussion.

Toby Driver is one of the most engaging and important musicians currently active.  His resume is astounding, his persistence is unmatched, and his work is always challenging, fresh, and most importantly, inspirational and enjoyable.  Toby may be best known for being the leader of the often confounding Kayo Dot, but his music spans many genres, bands and projects.  

I sat down with Toby to discuss and listen to some of these bands that perhaps are lesser known than Kayo Dot.  We listen to a track from the upcoming Kayo Dot record on Prophecy Productions, as well as songs from Alora Crucible, Blood Mist, and a few others.  We also get into subjects such as touring, show attendance, and the European metal scene.

So, please pass the aux to Toby, and join us in exploring the many facets of this man's career.

Don't call it a comeback.  Genghis Tron have returned after a 10 year hiatus with one of 2021's best and most compelling records, Dream Weapon.  The band has been through a lot of changes in that time, personally and musically, an even with line-up changes and a decade of growth and evolution, Genghis Tron still sound like themselves, and at the same time, sound like no one else.

On this episode the remaining founding members, Hamilton Jordan and Michael Sochynsky, join me as we listen to their new album in its entirety.  We discuss the hiatus, the new members, the pit-falls of making an album during a pandemic, and what's next for the newly revitalized band.

Please pass the aux to Michael and Hamilton, and come explore Dream Weapon with us.

I was first made aware of Tim Smolens when I discovered Estradasphere.  Tim was the bassist and producer for the incredible, genre-hopping, Bungle adjacent band.  As I delved further into the works of the various members, it became clear that Tim has a unique musical personality and vision.  Today, Tim has assembled a super group of sorts in High Castle Teleorkestra, featuring members that have played in Secret Chiefs 3, Farmers Market, Don Salsa and Mr. Bungle.  

On this episode Tim and I listen to the two 7" singles that HCT has released so far, and Tim regales me with background stories, and production techniques.  We talk a lot of Bungle, Tim counts out crazy time signatures for me, and tells me about when he used his own keyboard to program the keys for Mr. Bungle's "California" tour.

So please pass the aux to Tim, and join us for a masterclass in the music of High Castle Teleorkestra.

Derek Rush is a lifer.  In my mind, that's about the biggest compliment an artist could receive.  Derek has been highly involved and productive in so many facets of music, it's not only daunting, its intimidating, and I can't conceive of him ever stopping.  Derek is perhaps best known for his work as the head of the Chthonic Streams label, and his music under the names of A Murder of Angels, December, Dream into Dust and Compactor, but he is also a DJ, a concert organizer, a promoter, and so much more.

Today, we decided to listen to and discuss one of his most popular albums, Dream into Dust's "The Lathe of Heaven."  This is a deeply personal album for Derek and he guides us through the writing and motivation behind this album as we listen.  We also touch on topics such as Current 93, Kinkos, samplers and life outside the pandemic when we could tour.

Please pass the aux to Derek and join us as we descend into the cinematic world of "The Lathe of Heaven."

Today guitar virtuoso Nathanael Larochette joins me to guide us through the twisted trails and rough seas charted by his band The Night Watch on their latest album, "An Embarrassment of Riches."  We listen to the album in its entirety; dissecting, discussing and reveling in the creative process.  You may know Nathanael from his work with Musk Ox, or perhaps his beautiful guitar interludes on Agalloch's last album, "The Serpent and the Sphere."

Please pass the aux to Nathanael, and let his smooth Canadian voice sooth you into submission as we listen to his record and delve into the world, and adventure, that The Night Watch has created in "An Embarrassment of Riches."
