The Distorted Dialogue Podcast

🔥 Fired Up For Friday is back — a few days late! 🔥Travel threw a wrench into the schedule this week, so this episode of Fired Up For Friday is arriving a little later than usual, and it’s a lighter episode than normal, with the promo schedule being a bit lighter. But there’s still plenty of new metal to dig into!This week's episode includes 👇0:00 Welcome to The Fired Up For Friday Podcast1:07 Mephistofeles - Live in Europe (Heavy Psych Sounds) 2:43 Flowers of Rust - Crude Exhibitions of the Soul (Apocalyptic Witchcraft) 4:54 10,000 Years - Esox Lucifer (Ripple Records)6:53 Vertiginous - Incessant Affliction (Comatose Records) 8:55 Cancelled Album of Last Week and Outro. I also made the decision to cancel the Album of Last Week, after learning of the band’s ties to Nazi ideology. Wasn't too familiar with the band and their ideologies, but glad I learned before repping something I am VEHEMENTLY against. I’m here to support underground metal, but I will not use this platform to promote artists or projects connected to Nazi ideology or its glorification, fascist rhetoric, or any of that other bigoted hate speech, there's no place for it in metal. The Metal Institute of Thrashology is about discovering new metal, sharing it with you and supporting deserving artists. 🔥 No Nazi bullshit. 🔥Subscribe to The Metal Institute of Thrashology for more album reviews, underground metal discoveries, interviews, live footage, and whatever the hell I get into next.

Underground Progressive Death Metal band Sallow Moth released what might just be my album of the year choice, in Hydrophilus Brood, so I reached out to the multi-instrumentalist Gary Brents behind the project and had him stop by the Distorted Dialogue Podcast. We talked about the album, being a multi-instrumentalist, how he approaches writing and so much more. Had a bit of trouble with the video feed, but we still managed to make it happen. An absolute banger of an album, if you want to know more about it, check it out here! Snag a copy of the album at👇https://sallowmoth.bandcamp.com
