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!

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.

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!

Clint catches up with Horseburner before a show and has a pretty insightful conversation. They tell both tales of how they got their name (real and fake), the ever disgusting "what genre they fit in" discussion, and the super interesting concept that their new album The Thief follows (out now).

Whats up you beautiful people! We are back with another fun packed episode. We catch up on what we (and our band) have been up to and go right into a great interview with front man Ben of Snow Burial. He's got a great broken down band van story, talks about why they chose label backing, and even entertains the great genre debate. Huge thanks to him and the rest of Snow Burial (and Prosthetic Records) for letting us use their title track off of their new album Ostrava (out September 20th). https://www.snowburial.com

BIG SHOW NEWS! EoS will be changing up how we go about doing shows... details after the interview! We wrap the show up with reviewing the new Tool album (duh) and a little gear geeking.

Holy Heavy Batman! Couple treats in this episode... we start off with a conversation with the one, the only Joe Nunez, who is the former drummer of Soulfly, back with a brand new project called Return Fire... and he even brings along his friend Marc Rizzo to do guest solos alllll over the album. We are the first interview he has done in years so there was a lot to talk about! We talk about his beginning, middle, and end with Soulfly, what he did after Soulfly and now of course his new band Return Fire!

In the news we talk Tool (of course), COC drama, Metallica v. Cougar. We throw in a bonus snippet of End of Days from Act of Violence (https://www.facebook.com/actofviolence) off of their brand new album Unrest. Album is streaming now and if you live in the Columbus Ohio area we will be opening for them at their album release party August 17th. In reviews we talk about the new Slipknot and Russian Circles.

Huge thanks to Joe for letting us use Product of Abuse off of Return Fire's self titled about due out September 27th 2019.

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.
