Release the Kraken — A Night of Discovery - The Trailer Behind The Metal Shoppe

Back on Zoom. New shirts. Same chaos.

Noman and Rory are back — and they have absolutely no idea who those two old guys from that other podcast are. Never heard of them.

Two hours of music discovery this week. Some of it heavy. Some of it theatrical. Some of it from places you wouldn't expect. All of it worth your time.

There's a pirate metal origin story that predates everything you think you know about pirate metal. There's a band from Quebec whose mythology runs so deep it connects to other bands you've never heard of. There's a Swedish band formed in a high school music competition that has absolutely no business sounding the way they do. There's a guilty pleasure that turns out not to be guilty at all. And there's a vocal performance that stops everyone cold.

Also — Sabotage. And what happened to them. You're not ready.

Georgia has been spotted elsewhere. The investigation is ongoing.

The Kraken has been released. 🦑

You know, it's west of here.

(20:01):
It's west of here.
It's kind of middle of thecountry, but not quite middle.
So it's Midwest.
Because Midwest is like us.
Midwest is usually.
But it's north of that.

Maybe.

No, you have to have a goodlevel of libation and libationless.
But here's what I need to knowfor, like, you're cracking before.
It's when.
Before you take the first sip,you usually have to, like, you admire
it, smell it, you know, get ready.
But then you have to just.
You have to give it your good old.

How is your release the Kraken?
Because there's so many ways.
Oh, yes.
There's many different schoolsof way to do it.
But what's your.
What's your style?

cannon and fired at the white whale.
I couldn't hit it for shit.
And the boat went down.

to me it just seems like, youknow, the Band Running wild.
It feels like this is.
They loved running wild.
And they're like, we can just.
We can do this and bring itinto the 20th, 20th, 21st century.

(33:15):
They're not that old, so it'skind of like, you know, running wild.
No.
Okay, well, I'm gonna have toplay running wild after this.
That sounds good.
But we are gonna go to thethings called down album is called
down in the dark to the left.
And we might as well do thetitle track, down in the dark.
It's.

(33:36):
No, it's near the top.
Might as well do down in the dark.
I think it's a good intro.
See what you want.
It's.
You know, we'll listen to it.
You tell me what you think.
All right, here we go.
Down in the dark by Blazingstone climbing up the charts this

(37:33):
There.
And.
And that's blazing stone infrom the year 2019.
Okay.
I don't.
I so nasally in that versionturned to professor.
That was a different disc jockey.
Yeah, that was a completely.
They're taking over.
It's Casey.
Casey.
It's a ghost taking over.
Get the mystery gang all backtogether, and we're gonna go.
I wonder if Casey Casem was atghost fest.

(37:55):
Is he.
Is he dead?
Yeah, I guess so.
He's been dead for a while.
So that's what they need.
They need.
They need.
They need him and Steve Irwinto show up.
A ghost fest.
That would.
That would be awesome.
Yeah, he'd be like.
Like, zoinks, there's a ghost.
I'm gonna tackle it.
Of course, it's.
He does A good.
Was it Robin?
He did too.

(38:16):
Robin.
I think so, yeah.
Robin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, that was Blaze and Stone.
So they are actually a.
They're a Swedish band.
Oh.
They said that the.
It started as a solo project.
This guy, Cedric Forsberg.
It.
Actually, I was not.
I was pretty much.
I was very close in my earlier description.

(38:37):
It isn't.
It was intended to be a studioact formed to celebrate and continue
the legacy of Running Wild.
Okay.
It stopped in 2019,apparently, and then reunited the
next year as a full lineup band.
So, yeah, I don't have much else.
The fun fact is that this bandnamed Blazingstone is actually specifically

(38:59):
Running Wild single sixth album.
So they did that.
So Running Wild is kind of.
I guess nobody talks about it.
It's kind of a really, likepower metal, speed metal.
But as you can see from theart, they.
You can almost say they were.
Running Wild was the originalpirate metal band because the original.

(39:21):
How old.
How old are they?
Running Wilds from.
From the 80s.
Oh, what?
Yeah, Running Wild's like.
It's a blazing.
While this one's 2017.
Yeah.
Running wild was a Germanheavy metal band formed in 1979.
Holy.
But they had kind of pirate imagery.

(39:42):
Oh, yeah.
Speed metal, heavy metal, alot of pirate stuff.
So, like, not, you know, asAlestorm went and really went with
the theme and the gimmick.
The.
They used a lot of the imagery.
In the lyrics from the.
From.
From these guys.
Yeah, and these guys were.
There was a.
There was a song, a Hailstormsong, when they were.

(40:04):
And one of their lyrics waslike, I forgot the song.
See, I should have been readyfor that.
Actually, there's a thingwhere they reference them.
They're like, kind of likerunning wild in 19.
Oh, nice, nice.
So, like, it's there.
I mean, look at the.
The costumes.
Yeah, they weren't singing, but.
But it's less.
It seems a little.
It's like.
It seems a little less cheesy,a little more like they, like, serious.

(40:25):
They play.
Yeah, they played like.
Like, I'll play a song after.
Yeah, we'll play.
No, no, we'll play RunningWild next, I think.
And I was thinking about thesong Conquistadors.
There is.
But, I mean, there's.
So are they.
Were they more serious?
Because I know Ale Storm iskind of just fun.
They get.
They're kind of more likeparty metal a bit now.
Ale Storm.
Yeah.

(40:45):
But were they serious before?
Alestorm was a little.
They were a bit more like amore serious, like, power metal band
at the start okay.
Like, still little, you know,fantasy and that.
But, like, the first couplealbums were, like, fairly serious
and, like, the pirate theme, I guess.
Okay.
Because most of pirate stuffis always cheesy, Right?

(41:05):
Yeah.
And maybe Jack Sparrow is thereason for that.
Yeah, he's.
You know, like, it really justget, like.
It took it over the top wherepirates, you know, sort of like Penny.
Pennywise made clowns scary.
Yeah.
They used to be fun.
It's like now.
I don't know.
How about that?
I mean, Tim Curry.
Tim Curry originally made itpretty scary because.

(41:27):
Yeah.
Like, were clowns fun?
Not really.
And then Tim Curry's like,well, they're definitely not anymore.
I'm not gonna sleep again anymore.
But, yeah.
So if we wanted to listen tothis band, I think Conquistadors
is a song that'd be pretty interesting.
I haven't listened to in along time, but there is one called
under the Jolly Roger.
It's a bit more anthemic.

(41:47):
If you wanted more of that kind.
Of song, I think I can.
Conquistador.
Conquistador.
Conquistador.
Yeah.
Or Conquistador.
I'm not a librarian, I'm a podcaster.
I'm not a librarian, but I'm a libationist.
Libationist.
All right, let's try this.
Conquistador by Running Wild.

(42:31):
Sam.

(43:03):
Falling disease to conquer newlands Terrain by the dust sacrifice
the best is out Containers arethey fight who they kill they rain
under the banner of the holy.
Days Darkest the doors it just.

(43:50):
Violence cross and deceittaking the web on the Indian staff
We are feeding the greed inthe masters of Christianity See I
believe or doubt I don't getto find the reason why.

(44:32):
It.

(45:03):
Sa.

(46:05):
Oh, good.

(46:59):
So those are the convenge.
That was good.
I actually quite enjoyed that.
It was.
I mean, we talked through thewhole song.
I guess we should haverecorded our commentary, but.
Yeah, I quite like that.
It was good.
Yeah, it was fast, you know,got some, you know, guitar, still
some energy.
It's just good speed metal, I think.

(47:20):
Yeah.
Just easy to.
It's like, easy to listen tofor me.
Yeah.
Like, it's a classic type of sound.
Yeah, I totally enjoy.
Enjoyed that.
Yeah.
I was like, okay, how am Igoing to counter that?
So you're always just.
We're on the same side, man.
Are we, though?
No, we're not.

(47:41):
I hope you die.
So new person started on the floor.
I have to look up.
They hired her for a very,very strange position.
So I want to make sure I understand.

I have an image in my mind,.
But I. I don't know what that.
It's a new machine they putout on the floor.
I mean, that's not what I wasthinking at all.
You know, when I heard Spliff,I was.

(48:44):
Well, it's.
I think it's.
When I heard spliff, my mindis in a different.
It's a dumble on, double onintent and you know what I mean?
Double enton, double entree.
Entree, double entree.
You know, you're a little bit hungry.
You go to the restaurant, yousave your appetite, you know, and

You know, none of the glossof, like.

(51:09):
I like Motley Crue's Shout atthe Devil.
That was really glossy or, youknow, some bands were really glossy
metal.
Does this song kind of COVIDlike, kind of their style?
Because I like how it's almost like.
With the piano, it's gotalmost like a very bluesy.
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
I quite like that.
Yeah.
They're.

You know what I.
Back then, I'm like.
I didn't get it.

(51:30):

And I'm like, ah.
And I saw them open.
They opened for.
For.
They either open For MLE Crewor they open for Poison.
I can't remember one or the other.
I would have enjoyed this.
This is immensely better.
I would have liked if itopened for Poison.

(51:50):
I would have been like, thatwas a great show.
And I would have been like, Ican go home.
Yep.
Well, it was.
Yeah, Poison was.

I think it's just oldrecording recordings.
Like old chart.
This time in 1983, this week.

(53:15):
The 80s.
That.
That show.
I think they just.
They're just doing reruns.
Because until you told me he'sdead, I just assumed he was just
something he's doing now.
Like.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
Oh.
I'm like, oh.
All right.
So we said we were going toplay something by Alex, the spliff
operator.
Yeah.

You're jumping around andsure, you lose a dude.
Nice.
All right, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna be surprised, but.
I know, I know there's.
There's one.
There's.
I know there's one.

(54:18):
There's one that's gonna showup that I don't want to hear that's
gonna show up, and there's onethat I want here that's not gonna

Well, this one, the guess who sucked.
The jets were lousy anyway.
No, no, that's.
That's fine.
I.
You're gonna.
It'll happen.
I don't know which one you mean.
All right, let's play the song.

(54:38):
So.
So this band is called PaleFace Swiss.
The song is called Best Before Death.
They're Swiss.
So let's play it here.
I think you're going to like this.
It's very different, so be prepared.
I'm ready.

(55:04):
I. Sa.

(57:43):
The people are alive.
All this world is.
These people are.

(58:31):
That was.
You know what?
There used to be a time atwork when where this type of thoughts
were just happening.
So I'm glad that heavy metalis a safe space for these types of
thoughts.
And there's a lot of peopleout there that don't understand that.
Like, that sounds angry.
Why do you want to listen to angry?
So I can get it out of my system.

(58:52):
You know what I have to say toyour boss, because I don't have.
To say it to my boss becausethen I'm also gonna start strangling
them.
This is what you say to your boss?
I'm a big fucking guy.
That's fair.
All right, so I.
You know, I know that wesometimes have our little turn.
This is our little fun, but Ihave some serious business for us

(59:14):
now.
Here's.
Here's my proposal becauseI've been looking up the info for
this band and there's.
There's a bit to digest, alittle bit.
Oh, you looked up the info forthis particular.
No, no, for the next band.
Okay, but how about.
Tell us.
Okay, well, tell us about this band.
So they're a Swiss metal bandfrom Zurich.

(59:35):
Consists of vocalist MarkZelli, Zellweger guitarist Yannick
Lehman, bassist Tommy Lee, anddrummer Luigi Paravanti.
They've released three studioalbums, three EPs, and their latest
being Cursed and Wilted,releasing through Blood Blast Distribution.

(59:56):
I don't really have much moreto say other than that, but they
are.
That's pretty kick ass, honestly.
Metal Hammer's been talkingabout them, which is good.
They've played Resurrection,Resurrection Fest, and Sick New World
festivals.
They did play during their US Tour.
They replaced the opening actwith an extreme wrestling match refereed

(01:00:18):
by Mark Zellweger.
In an interview withMetalhammer, Mark stated that the
band performs every show atthe limit.
Something that the crowddefinitely feels nice.
I mean, that's appreciated.
And based on this recording,it's good.
Like, I like this, like.
Like, there was that partwhere he.
It sounded like he, like,thought maybe the recording wasn't

(01:00:40):
on.
He's like.
Like.
He's like, yeah, this guysounds pissed off.
Yeah, that's.
That's the passion is there.
Okay.
But look at the COVID Yeah,the COVID is so.
It's a bunch of flowers.
It's like a paint and like anold painting of flowers.
Right?
Yeah.
I love it.
I love that.
That's.
That's good imagery.
Like, did they have a videofor this?
Because then, you know what?
People might be looking at it.

(01:01:01):
Oh, no, there was a video.
We should have watched the video.
That's okay.
We'll watch it later.
All right.
What are you going to bring tothe table, sir?
There's a bit too well not todiscuss, but there's some details
we'll just have to, like.
Just.
It's just.
It's just kind of funny.
But I think we'll just listento it first, and then I'll tell you

(01:01:22):
instead of.
You know.
So I'm gonna.
I'm gonna tell you the name ofthe band, and I would love it if
you just do your bestspelling, and there's no judgment.
Do my best spelling?
Yeah.
The band is called Exul.
Not bad.
It's ex.

(01:01:44):
U with an umlaut.
No, no.
L. Yeah, whatever the hat is.
Oh, that's the best name.
Owen.
No, umlaut is the dot.
My bad exhaust.
Like this?
Yeah.
No, without the E. You're good.
Exhul.
Oh, yeah.
So don't read anything about them.

(01:02:04):
Just.
We're gonna.
One album.
Blighted the deity.
Yeah.
Okay, let's go with it.
Blighted Deity.

You.

(01:11:40):
Sa.

(01:12:05):
Sam?

(01:12:48):
Okay.
I'm like, who the is this?
It's a pretty wild, eh?
It was so theatrical.
I feel like this was like.
If you like King diamond had a baby.
Yeah.
In a ritual.
And it was like.
It is a child of prophecy.
Oh no.
The blanking God.
It was just something.

(01:13:09):
Something very interesting.
So how shall I tell you all about.
I.
Okay, wait.
Watch what I'm doing right now.
Watch this.
Very good.
Thumbs up.
So holy.
That was.
That.
That was so good.
I really, really enjoyed that.
So apparently this band wasfounded in 2020.
They were under the nameCrestfallen, but it took them four

(01:13:29):
years to find they.
It took them four years tofind the vocalist they wanted.
Holy shit.
Which was a guy from their home.
Their home province of Quebec.
What Canadian band really,that matched the vision and sound
of the album they had written,but shelved away for long, long time
in the archives.

(01:13:53):
So they.
I'm gonna.
There's a little blurb.
I'm on their site.
I'm gonna do a blurb of whatthey've put to describe themselves.
Blending the slow crushingtempos and theatrics of epic doom
metal.
The faster tempos, soaringvocals and shredding guitars of US

(01:14:13):
style power metal as well asthe darker aspects of black metal.
Yeah.
Exul's atypical sound stands alone.
Yeah.
They.
There's some bands they reference.
But apparently also accordingto the Perpetual Plains lore and

(01:14:34):
mythology that ties the lyricsof the bands Thelist, Atramentis
and Zycraidus, there's apparently.
Yes.
Thank you.
It's a hay fever.
They.
They are sharing a lore with abunch of like smaller bands.
What?
What?
Yeah.

(01:14:55):
So the thing I wanted.
Kind of crazy.
It's like a shared universe.
The thing I wanted to get to was.
Would you like to meet the band?
Because we have a Lost Horizonsituation going on here.
What?
Okay.
Got something for me there?
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like fumbling there.
Whatever you want.

(01:15:16):
Get you a good one here.
Oh, wait, the same one.
Ah, this is good.
Yeah, that's.
Stella's always nice.
All right, so you remember theLost Horizon situation where they
had.
They had some colorful names, characters.
Yes, yes.
We're not.
We're not far off.
Off.

(01:15:37):
We're gonna start with a singer.
Stargazer.
Chance of Foretold Doom.
The voice that carries thetales of the perpetual planes across
the void.
We go to Defender.
Seven Stringed Blood Steel Hymns.
Founder and architect of Exhulsonic vision.
I heard a bunch of Atari soundeffects there all of a sudden.

(01:16:00):
Yeah.
Just like.
What is that?
Why does the ship look like that?
Endorsed by EMG Ernie Ball andin tune GP I don't know.
That's weird thing to addanyway Sentinel Five Stringed Chaos

(01:16:21):
Magics One Word Weaving LowEnd Thunderous Foundations Beneath
the Towering Rifts EtherealHammer is the oh, I gotta see what
these guys the PercussiveForce driving Doom Laden Hymns and
Specter Multi multi timbrelSpectral oscillations Crafting ethereal

(01:16:43):
atmospheres and hauntingkeyboard landscapes they also have
a musical lineage says fans ofthese bands would likely be interested
in hearing Existence aninteresting it's like them probably
saying bands that they likeso, so there's bands like I think

(01:17:03):
I don't know if any of theseyou've heard of There's Veni, Domine,
Hexen House, Memento Mori,Skuld, Morgana Skull.
Yes.
Morgana Lafay.
Yeah and then there's somebands that are more well known Crimson
Glory, Manowar, Candlemass,oh, Solitude, Eternus and one that

(01:17:25):
I.
That's who they're inspired bysays people.
Who like these bands mightlike the Our band kind of thing which
means they might.
Yeah, yeah.
They're obviously influencedor enjoy and then there's one more
that I might I just want toask you if you've heard of them.
I feel like you have but it'sone that I realize I haven't played

(01:17:45):
yet that I might after yourchoice, play Fates Warning.
I know, I don't really knowFate's Warning.
I think I know one song.
I'm trying to remember whatthat song is now.
Okay, okay.
That, that, that'd be worthplaying now.
But I mean I'm gonna be like.
So I've already just, I justsaved this now.
Exul Live at the Hard Luck in Toronto.

(01:18:08):
I, I, I think I need to watchthem perform.
This is one of those bands that.
You need to see it.
You need to see.
Yeah.
And I don't know if there'sgoing to be a bunch of theatrics
or not, but I don't think it matters.
It's one of those bands youjust watch.
Yeah.
Their, their performance hasgot to be off the charts.
I, I would assume it waspretty like.
And that was, that's how likethat was.

(01:18:31):
I was so happy to run into this.
Like I was when I heard this Iwas like sure.
And then I was like well afterthe song I was like well I'm, I'm
just gonna keep listeningbecause I think what was, you know,
what also helped at that pointthat particular week I was on a real
I was on a real King Diamond Kick.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
And then this showed up, and Iwas like, oh, I'll listen to this.

(01:18:53):
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, this wasthe perfect time for this.
You might have just changed mysong selection.
Next.
Ooh.
Returning to the classics.
Just because the.
The imagery.
Yeah.
So we did one.
What did we do before?
I'm gonna look.
Yeah, whatever.

(01:19:14):
I might have to.
Yeah, we just watched the hallof the Mountain King video.
That's what we watched.
Yeah.
What, for this band?
Yeah.
You do.
You just watched.
No, no, we watched this on the show.
Yeah, we watched it before.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, yeah, just for the imagery.
Right.
I've been listening to this alot lately.
I did something very, very strange.

(01:19:35):
I know now that Georgia hasenabled us to go home after work.
She's opened the door, and Idon't know if I should be happy or
not, because it's.
It's ruined.
Like, I got.
I think I got used to being institutionalized.
Yeah.
Like.
And, like, what do I do with myself?
I'm just.
Now you make me want to playSuicidal Tendency.
Tendencies.
Well, I mean, people say,like, I just go home and stare at

(01:19:56):
four walls.
I'm like, well, I do that, butI just also listen to heavy metal,
so that's an improvement.
I don't know if I want to play.
Fuck.
I don't know.
Do I want to play one of these?
No.
You know, I'm gonna go offthis album.
So I. I plugged in my ipod.

(01:20:19):
I have an ipod, and I pluggedit into my bike.
So what happens is, as I'mspinning, it'll generate enough power
to power the ipod.
And I've got these speakers Iput on my front mudguard.
Yeah.
And it blares forward.
So, like, it, like, makes you aerodynamics.

(01:20:40):
The sound waves blast the airout of the scientists listening.
Don't comment, please.
I don't.
I don't want to hear it now.
I've been so.
I was, like, kind of curiousbecause I'm like, okay, who the fuck
is this band and whose name Ihaven't given yet?
I'm trying to find the songthat I heard.

(01:21:04):
I thought it was off.
Maybe it's on here.
I'm trying to.
It's like you're trying toremember if that word shows up in
it.
This is my life with this.
With this podcast, you know,this where I'm like, oh, I heard
a great song.
I heard a great song that Ineed to save for this.
And you know what I do?
I Save the band.
And I said, I'll remember the song.

(01:21:24):
And then I'm like, the daycomes, and I'm like.
I am panicking because I. Iwant to pick the right one.
What is it called?
Now?
I think I'm just gonna go with the.
The theme.
So th.
This.
This band, everyone has heard,many of you have seen it.
This is one of the top touringevery year in the top 10.

(01:21:50):
They're in the top 10.
And they only perform seasonally.
They only perform in the winter.
Even though they only performin the winter with limited number
of dates, their box officegross rivals all the big names.
And this was the band theystarted out as.
I will reveal who that isafter if you remind me.

(01:22:12):
Otherwise, I'll forget.
Okay, I'm gonna remind you.
Okay, hang on.
I'm gonna go with this one.
This is a song I like.
There's a lot ofindecisiveness, but I like that it
means that that's.
It means that that last song.
I think the medical term isthat last song kind of fucked you

(01:22:33):
up.
It did.
It totally fucked me up.
Like, I can't stop thinkingabout it.
It.
Okay, here we go.
No, I want this.
I'm not going to say who theband is.
But listen, the vocalsreminded me of the last band we heard
in.
In a lot of ways.
Not in exactly the style.
Yeah, sorry.
In the style.
But not the same singing way.
The way.
Anyway, whatever.
Take a listen.

(01:22:53):
Okay.

(01:23:17):
Behind the wheel just went.
Up here in the second.

(01:23:39):
The night no end inside Ithink I'm going inside.
Witches grind I can do it now.

(01:24:08):
24 hours go yeah.
Got to escape can't take it.
I got my suitcase and kickedout the door yeah.

(01:24:37):
I've got bloodshot eyes Hyp tofail no.
When it's kind I can do it 9Rthe fast forget the past One burning

(01:25:04):
trail in my head I am 24 hours up.

(01:26:01):
Behind me I'm moving fastForget the past One burning trend
in my head I am oh, yeah.

(01:26:28):
Sam.

(01:26:53):
Sa.

(01:27:19):
Sam.

(01:27:53):
I apologize.
You know, sometimes Testamentjust sneaks up on you.
It's like Testify.
Just like you left the window open.
They're just like practicewhat you preach oh, damn.
How did Chuck Billy get in here?
So that was Sabotage.
Sabotage, which I believe isthe translation of sexy savage.

(01:28:19):
Sexy savage in French.
So listening to my ipod on mypedal bike has been revolutionary
because I got two albums ofSabotage on my ipod, and as it's
randomly going through songs,I got tool in there.
I've got.

(01:28:40):
I don't even want to say theother one.
I'm kind of embarrassed aboutthe other ones that are on there.
Sabrina Carpenter.
No, no, no, no.
It's my old ipod, so.
Sabrina Carpenter probablywasn't even born, you know, back
then.
We have to.
We have to be vulnerable witheach other sometimes.
If you admit something,something that you.
I'll.
I'll.
I'll try to dig deep.

(01:29:01):
Okay, fine.
I will play.
We can all.
We can all admit that we have.
I will play a snippet.
Okay.
Where's the album?
I actually own this album.
It's.
It's up over there on the wall.

(01:29:24):
See the things you make me do.
I'm just.
I'm.
You didn't have to.
But glad you did because we.
Heavy metal is an open community.
Are you ready for this?
I'm ready.
This is the guilt.
A guilty pleasure.
Guilty pleasure.
Is that.
Is that right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's nothing wrong with that.
All right.
Do you see it on the screen?

(01:29:44):
So you can actually put it in.
We're not going to listen tothe whole song.
This is one of the things thatpopped up.
I'm going to play this.
I'm going to play the other one.
Because we're, you know, inmetal shop, you know, metal comes
from many different areas.
It comes from grommets, itcomes from lead.
Yeah.
A little bit of plastic everyonce in a while.

(01:30:05):
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is one of the songsthat was that played.
So this song played 24 hoursago by Sabotage from Hall of the
Mountain King album, and thenit played this one right after.

(01:30:34):
This is just the basic.
This is not the best.
Everybody knows that thetrouble starts when you talk all
about the rest.
First you went to college andthen you got yourself degrees.
Then you got some pretty girlsto get down on the ground.
You took yourself somepictures and you showed them to your
friends.

(01:30:54):
Now you're going straight to hell.
And that's where your story.
You, Rick James, you.
That's what this song is about.
Just telling.
It's a you to Rick James forall the.
You pulled.
Cuz he.
Yeah, he pulled.
He pulled some.
Yeah.
Pulled some.
You, Rick James.
Sure.
You know I like it.
You know what?
Because you know, for, like,there's nothing wrong, like, you

(01:31:20):
know, we like to.
You know, we're on a heavymetal podcast.
But here's the thing.
We're the first to admit that,like, we don't.
Not every.
Like, we don't justexclusively like heavy metal.
Oh, no, of course not.
Hey, that's poppy.
You're like, well, have youheard Glory Hammer?
Like, come on, baby.
I love.
You know, this was good.
I actually really, like,liked, you know, for like, you know,

(01:31:43):
there's.
There are those, like, youknow, three chord acoustic type of
musicians.
We'll say there's those songsmaybe songs not where they kind of
do that, but I'm like, I like that.
This one had been.
You know, it's the guitar.
He had a song in, I thinkthreesome, the movie threesome with

(01:32:05):
one of the Baldwin brothers.
Okay, so this is the other song.
Okay,.
I think this.
Which one is it?
I think it's this one.
Yeah, this is it.
Do you know this one he'splaying in October,.

(01:32:35):
By the way.
He's playing every singleinstrument on this.
Song at the same time.
Still.
Still impress.

(01:33:04):
Okay, you know what?
You know what I liked?
I really like the vocals there.
Like, I was actually imagining.
Because you jumped in thereand did that.
Imagine you did that.
And then I was imagining thebuildup to this next one.
I'm almost wondering what,like the next note he hit.
If it was like.
Imagine if it was like a.
A Queen style.
Like.
Well, he does.
That's.
That's what happens next with.

(01:33:24):
With the layers.
Ah, okay.
Okay, I'll keep going.
Die no sorrow.
Dead Kites.
He's playing in Gimley onOctober 25th.

(01:33:47):
Oh, man.
You know, and no one wants togo with me.
Well, my wife might go with me.
Wait, I'm not married in thisalternate universe.
Cut.
No cut.
25Th.
25Th is a Sunday.
I think it's the 25th.
The next five minutes ofpodcast was just them.
Make it play, make a plans.

(01:34:08):
Wait, so he is so Huxley Worksman.
I know.
Okay, those of you that haveturned everything off at the moment,
I apologize.
It's okay.
But bear with me.
He is a multi instrumentalist.
I believe on his albums heplays all the instruments.

(01:34:28):
One.
He plays live.
He tends to.
He rotates around the stageand he goes from instrument to instrument
and what the.
The time he had playedpreviously is on the.
October 25th, officially atthe ship and Plot, which I've always
wanted to eat at.

(01:34:49):
Oh, he's also playing at thepark theater on the 24th.
The Park Theater.
That's better than Gimli.
And 24th is a Saturday then, right?
24Th would be.
Yeah, okay, we're going.
Okay, I'm going.
Anyway, the last.

(01:35:09):
When he played here off ofthis album, my understanding I did.
I missed the show.
I regret it every time you'dmove from instrument to Instrument.
He would take off anotherpiece of clothing, and he had layers
and layers and layers ofclothing on him.
Like.
I don't know.
He.
He's even better.
Yeah.
So the 25th.
So wait, 25th?

(01:35:30):
No, 24th in Winnipeg.
The Park Theater.
I mean, that's two minutes away.
Yeah, that's.
That's pretty close.
We could die.
You never know.
Karen might even go, you know,this guy might be a pretty good show.
Here.
Just quickly, here's anotherbit of.
Wait, did we save the other one?

(01:35:52):
I don't know if I added it tothe playlist or not.
You ain't been sexing, kittenbut now you're screaming your bare

(01:36:16):
feet dancing crazy.
In shades of wine glasses the picture's.
Blurry blue what the hell'sgot into you, Tarantula?
Oh, my God.
There's something metal abouthim that I like.
A little bit of Freddy.

(01:36:36):
You know what I think what it.
Is a little bit of Halford.
I think maybe it's something that.
Maybe.
Is it unpopular opinion?
Hot take?
I don't know.
Maybe not.
Something metal's lost about,like, people, like, it's kind of
metal.
It's kind of metal.
And you're like, guys, guys,you forgot where metal came from.
This is just rock.

(01:36:57):
Metal came from rock.
It came from rock.
And you know what?
It's easy.
It's an easy.
It's an easy generalization.
Doesn't mean, you know, yousay, oh, this guy's just.
Just rock doesn't.
It's not a bad thing.
They say, like, I just.
Just call me rock.
Because rock covers, it's so big.
Metals become big.
Yes, but it's also big withinthe metal sound.

(01:37:20):
Like.
Yes, that is the electric.
You know, the.
The tuning of the electric guitar.
The heavy mute sounding.
Is that rock?
It's a bit bigger because itdoesn't have to be overly electric.
You know, it doesn't have tobe overly.
You know, it could be folky,it can be acoustic, it can be lighter,

(01:37:42):
it can be softer, it can be heavier.
There's some bands where Ilisten to it and I'm like, well,
that song was metal as.
And they're like, yeah, don'tcall me metal bad.
And I'm like, apparently youcan play it, but all right, I know,
right?
There's this.
To our.
We apologize for the racialinsin of that.

(01:38:06):
Of that last.
Yes, I apologize.
I don't think.
I don't know if I'm curious now.
Like, we have.
We have some.
Some regular listeners, and infact, I think our Listener base,
we're at 1.2 million now.
I think 12.4 billion comparedto the Sean Seatgeek and Fast Fred,
which is.
Which is at 1.2 people.

(01:38:26):
Yeah.
So, you know, we outdo themlike crazy.
It's nuts.
Daily basis.
It's embarrassing.
Yeah.
Like, they're like.
They should just shut theirshow down.
They should be done with it.
They should just get a new job.
Job.
Get a new job.
It's not related to their job,but they should just get a new job.
Yeah, yeah.
Go into accounting or something.
But I'm wondering if Antony.

(01:38:49):
I'm wondering if the mighty K,which we.
She said she want to callherself something different on this
show.
She doesn't want to be relatedto In Obscura.
She's embarrassed of herappearances on the In Obscuria podcast
because it's an AI podcast.
Do you want me to.
Do you want me to ask her?
I know she likes to.
You should ask her.
Ask her.
Just chatter right now.
Pre recorded.
She might still be.
She might still be awake.

(01:39:09):
I'm not sure.
She gets up early.
She gets up at 5.
But I'm wondering if.
If K and Anthony would likeHuxley Worksman.
Is this.
Is this outside?
Like, you know, I don't knowanyway, but I have a song.
I haven't played my song yet.
I played a bunch of, like,teasing stuff, but I want to play

(01:39:32):
Bloodstained.
I am Death.
And I'm playing it right now.
Okay, let me.
Hold on.
Let me get my calculator.
Your calculator?
What.
What is it called?
Bloodstained Blood stain.
I am death.
I mean, I'll give metal.
I'll give metal.
That one thing where, like,you hear the name of a song or the

(01:39:53):
name of a band.
Yes.
And you know the genre right away.
Oh, yeah.
Right away.
Yeah.
What's your blood stain?
Yeah.
Okay, here's here.
We.
Sam.

(01:40:28):
Sa.

(01:40:54):
Let them be taking lives.
The people lives in fear, suffering.

I'm Death.
Test Testament What?

(01:43:47):
No.

I'm ready to, like, flip acar, be it my own.
If my own is the only option,.
Then I guess if I wasn't evil.
Skeletor.
I am Skeletor.
And you, he man, shall sufferfor your inconvenience of me.

(01:44:09):
I was with Talia.
I don't know.
I got my sister a pin in Skeletor.
It was saying.
It says, it's.
It's live, laugh, love.
And it's.
And it's Skeletor's face.
Like this.
That was bloodstained.

(01:44:30):
From Sweden.
That was wicked.
They're 2023 band.
Four classmates at RitnessMusic High School in Stockholm who
formed the band to compete inthe local music competition Lindigo
Rock.
The band came second in thecompetition and received the award

(01:44:52):
for best guitarist.
That's all I know about them.
But somehow they came in on myplaylist and I heard it.
I'm like, oh, Alex is gonnalove the fuck out of this, guaranteed.
See?
And I like that.
You're like.
The first.
First thought was actually.
Actually, my first problem iswho, who, who.
Who the is Alex?

(01:45:15):
Wait a minute.
Get the director in here.
Wait, hang on.

(01:45:36):
Wait a minute.
That's not the song I thoughtit was.
Is this the one?
No.
You know the song I mean.
The fuck is this?
No, no.
What the.
You know the one I mean.
Alice.

(01:45:57):
Alice.
Alex.
Alex?
Who the fuck is Alex?
Am I getting this wrong?
Is it this one?
No.
No.
Okay.
Why am I getting this wrong?

(01:46:18):
You know, it was like, on allthe dance floors.
I don't know.
You know, you.
You.
You open.
Alex Jones.
You.
The frogs are gay.
No,.
Sorry.
My house.
Oh, it's goddamn frogs.
Yeah.
Obama turning the frogs gay.

(01:46:38):
You're like.
I think that was.
That was the beginning of the end.
Yeah, I think so.
Because it's like, where doyou go from There.
You have to get sillier or youadmit that you said something.
Stupid Muppet.
Well, he's a.
He's a lot of.
He's a lot of things.
Yeah, maybe a Muppet, but youknow what?
You were opening up.

(01:47:00):
Opening up to you.
I wanna.
I wanna give you.
Okay, now, how many more songsdidn't we say we were gonna, like,
end, like two songs ago, probably.
Okay.
We don't have to listen thewhole song, but I. I want to give
you an earworm.
Okay.
It's not.
It's nothing.
So I won't be able to go tosleep now.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's gonna go right.
Anyway, I'm.

(01:47:23):
It could be something you've heard.
I don't know.
You said you're.
This is something you liked,and you basically said, this is what
I like.
You.
It's not metal, but.
No judgment.
Yeah.
Do you know, it's just a.
It's just a.
Apparently, I. I love to givepop a hard time, but it seems I'm

(01:47:43):
your dad.
What?
You like to give Pop a hard time?
Well, I do that anyway, but Ifind that I give it a hard time,
but it seems to be.
When it comes to thoseearworms and things that I like,
it seems to be this.
The genre I go to.
So this is from.
From the past.

(01:48:04):
She.
She is a Japanese.
She was.
Sorry.
She is actually deceased, unfortunately.
She is a. Jab.
Was a Japanese pop artist.
Maybe you've heard of.
I don't know.
Do you know Mickey Matsubara?
Nope.
Right.
Well, there's gonna be.
I think if anyone is.
If anyone's out therelistening, they probably know the

(01:48:26):
song.
And I think she's got a widercatalog than I'm giving her credit
for.
Stay with me.
Yeah, right there.
I'd say you should just play it.
And it's.
You know what?
It's just.
It's just kind of an awesome song.
Song.
Like, it's.
It's catchy as.

(01:48:47):
And it's just kind of like, O. O.
Okay.
O. Oh, yeah.
Kind of like this.
I am the rhino.
That was the one I wanted.
Is that the one you wanted?
Yeah.
How about this one?
Get off the stage.
You know the one I don't want.
But it's.
I'm just waiting for.
I haven't played it yet.
I know.

(01:49:07):
I'm just waiting for dab, youknow, feedback.
Dolores.
Okay, here we go.
Now this makes me want to playanother song too.
Why is it not playing?
Well, play it.
And then if you want to playone more you play another one.
I'm just going to play a bitof the other song.
Okay.
This one's got a.
Why is it.
Oh, it's muted.

(01:49:48):
Oh, fat days.

(01:50:40):
I don't know.
I really like that.
I don't know why.
Oh, so wait.
Oh, was this Japanese songsinger songwriter who.
She contributed to the openingending theme of the anime.
Oh, Google guys.
Gunmo.
Oh.

(01:51:05):
Oh, poor girl.
Oh, man.
She died.
Cervical cancer.
Yeah.
Horrible.
Tragic.
Bit of a tragic story.
Okay.
I like the voice.
I love the production.
I love the music.
Watch what I do right here.
Watch this.
I just.
Ding.

(01:51:26):
There we go.
Okay, so that made me think ofsomething else.
But what do you have to sayabout this?
About her?
I don't know too much.
I just know the song and thestory is kind of sad, but,.
You.
Know, just some easilylistening pretty.
Pretty catchy music, honestly.

(01:51:47):
Okay.
One of the best vocalperformances of all time.
You're ready?
Here we go.
Are you familiar with this?

(01:52:09):
This is for Kevin Brown.
I'll go anywhere with you Justwrap me up in chains.
But if you try to go all alone.
Don't think I'll understand.

(01:52:34):
At this day.
Stay with me, with me, Staywith me.

(01:52:54):
In the silence of your room inthe darkness of your dreams?
You must only think of me.
There can be nothing between.
When your bride is on thefloor I'll make you beg for mine.

(01:53:30):
Stay with me, Stay with me.
You'd better hope and praythat you make it safe.

(01:53:51):
Back to your own world.
You better hope and pray thatyou'll wake one day in your own world.
Cause when you sleep at nightthey don't hear your cries.

(01:54:11):
In your own world.
Only time will tell if you canbreak the spell Held back in your
own world.

(01:54:33):
Wait, wait, wait.
Here comes.
Don't stay with me, Stay withme, Stay with me.

(01:55:33):
I think based on thetheatricality of some of the last
songs we heard, somehow thesong you picked, the Mickey Matsubaro
Matsubara Sorry song.
And this song, it had thatsame flair.
It did.
Yeah.
I like that at one point whereshe's singing it like I interpreted

(01:55:56):
that flashily dressed gothwoman that showed up with Satan or
the angel of Death.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I was like, pretty cool.
Like, yeah, the vocals arepretty nuts like that.
Oh, isn't that nuts?
Like, that's just, like, amazing.
Yeah, that was good.
That was great.
So one of those singers, andI'm never really sure which one is

(01:56:19):
which, her name is SiobhanFahey, former member of Bananarama,
underused in Banana Rama.
Based on this.
I. I own this album.
Fucking Wicked.
The vocals, the two vocalistssparring off each other.

(01:56:41):
It is phenomenal stuff.
You know what?
Maybe it may be a pop song,but it's not very pop.
There's underlying goth elements.
Yeah.
The way the vocals present iskind of metal.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
A metal in.
In the theatricality of it.
I don't know.
I. I love this thing.

(01:57:03):
So, okay, we gotta.
We gotta call it quits.
We've been going for how long?
I don't know.
A very long time.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah.
Let's see.
One hour and 57 minutes.
You want to sign us off with something?
Sure.
Yeah.
In the year 1983, Sabotage played.
It's all of them.
Oh, wait, we were supposed to.

(01:57:23):
We were supposed to talk withsome Sabotage.
Okay, back to the Sabotage reference.
Okay, wait.
We gotta.
We gotta explain who Sabotage is.
Okay, so Sabotage later did aone off thing.
A.
An off thing where theydecided to become the Trans Siberian
Orchestra.
Yes.
They did it as a seasonal thing.

(01:57:44):
We're gonna try this out.
I don't think there was a lotput into it.
Sort of like, oh, we're just gonna.
They're struggling to makeends meet.
It's hard to be a band.
It's hard to make money.
It's hard to tour.
It's hard to raise the fundsto tour.
It's hard to get a label toactually sign off on you and say,
hey, we like you.
You're not Bon Jovi.
You're not Van Halen.

(01:58:05):
Whatever.
So they did the Trans SiberianOrchestra, and it took off way larger,
way higher than anything didin a.
Sabotage.
And they've been doing TransSiberian ever since because it's
huge.
It's huge.
It's one of the biggesttouring monoliths out there.
Nice.

(01:58:25):
But that's for Sabotage.
Okay, so you're gonna say,.
Now, I've got a lot of.
I've got a little.
A lot of information.
Okay, hold on.
Let me try that again, because that.
Mustache is tripping you up.
This was.
No, that impression was just.
It was going down dark territory.
He was going into orangeterritory, let's say.
Yeah, Orange theory.

(01:58:45):
I don't want it there.
It's not a workout program.
Sabotage went on their tourturning into the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
This impression is reallyfalling apart.
And I'm gonna just sign off.
This is Casey Case.
