Epitome Of Stupidity: Allegedly A Metal Music Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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!

Joining me on today's show are Matty & Graham of Return to Dust and it doesn't take long to realize these dudes have known each other forever. We have a great conversation, from talking about playing basement bars one day to giant festivals the next, Clint of Sevendust's interest in them, great advice given like "grow your fucking hair out", how maybe some people in the music industry do keep their promises and something about running with shit pants....PUSH PLAY!

Joining me for this weeks show is Chris "Scary" Adams of the mighty Black Tusk, who have just put out an awesome and purely Black Tusk album. We obviously talk plenty about the album, The Way Forward, as well as being delayed by T Swizzle, getting opinions on what to change from unexpected places, which band member should be played by which famous person for a video (one of which gets stuck with Kid Rock), anxiety about just getting to a show and tons more both useful and funny stuff along the way. PUSH PLAY!

Joining me for this show, all the way from Germany, is Chris from the band Half Me! They have a particular brand of maybe more authentic "metalcore" that we talk about, as well as things like how to describe their band to grandma, making music that is like a sonic punching bag, the breakdown running man meme/gif, learning that you can't shit in a Nightliner, the benefits of being a good person and much much more! Do the right thing. PUSH PLAY!

Joining me for this weeks show is the ever interesting Christian of one of my personal favorites, Whores. We have a fun and intelligent (on his part) conversation about everything from their new album War, how he ended up into and playing music, influences, high standards and how to avoid causing tension because of them, movies and a TON of other things. PUSH PLAY!

Some bands sound like this band or that band, some bands clearly fit a genre or even define one, then there are some bands that clearly don't have boundaries and do whatever they want and are themselves without sounding like they're trying extra hard to be different. This is where we find Phoxjaw. Danny of the band provides an EXCELLENT conversation about a ton of things but of course mainly Phoxjaw. PUSH PLAY!
