Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
This episode, we are talking about the metal core legends
that is kill Switch Engaged. They just dropped a new
album called These Consequences. We're gonna talk about it right
here on this episode of Theology.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Damn like that, we're back.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
We'll look at this.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
You look in case anybody notice it. We did some
things little thing or too.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Added some color, some non colors.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, we stripped the color away basically.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, we said too much color, too much color. So
so what we did is.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
We separated the colors.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
We had a lot of sheets, like over the years
shooting Defy the Tyrans videos, right, we accrued so much
amount of black material that are bed sheets that we
would use to blackout walls and stuff, and we haven't
used them in a long time. So we're like, you
know what, let's just throw a couple of them in
the room, and they ended up fitting almost the entire room.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
So the ship that we've had since like twenty eighteen.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Or some shit twenty eighteen hour were on there. These
sheets have seen some things and people naked, yeah, people
doing things they shouldn't have done, people doing things they
should have done, yes, and everything in between. People doing
things to themselves that they should have been doing. Boji
did not sleep with these. But we have a a

(02:08):
fairly large friend who we used to share a studio with,
so also these specific sheets I noticed these were the
ones that we had in our old studio. And we
had a certain individual friend from back in the day.
He's still a friend. I won't say the name, but
he used to be a co host of this podcast
back in the day, if anybody wants to read into that.
And he used to please himself in the studio when

(02:31):
nobody was there. And I know this because I found
the jiz napkins that were all in the studio and.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I had.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Them, well you could smell them. Well, they're fucking just
right there by the chair, they're fucking under the desk,
like and and I remember telling Brannan, I was like, bro, like,
we're the studio managers, right, like, we gotta fucking we
gotta figure this out. And he was like stopping a bitch.
I'm like, I don't because I don't want to be
in a room recording guitar and smelling jig napkins. So

(03:00):
so one day, I mean and Alex came into the
studio and I was like, Alex, can you pick up
the dalkins? He's like sure, And halfway through and picking
up the daalkins, I was like, those are just napkins.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I was like, you, mother, but it's not the first
time that I picked up from.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Other people's napkins.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well for this person, specifically this person, Oh wow, I
could I should charge charge you should.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Come in come into Baji's room with some Clorox wipes.

nickname is Tony, So you guys hear these guys. See,
I was thinking, like, oh, this year, we should just
like fuck the nicknames, use their real names. But then
I realized that too much work for our brains, and
I think my brain works hard enough as it is,
So we're just going to call you their nicknames in
real life.

Speaker 3 (04:10):

We really appreciate it. If you leave us a review
on Apple podcasts our resident rating and review, we'll read

been a while, it's we were kind of getting them
back to back and then kind of been quiet. Everybody
moved over to Spotify to listen to podcasts, So lead

(05:16):
us to writing review and Baji will read it. So
today today we're talking about kill Switch Engage's new album.
I think I call it this Consequence. I'm an idiot,
it's I said, these consequences. It's this consequence, Consequence. This
Consequence just dropped today. Some hype going on, you know,

(05:36):
leading up to the release. So we're gonna be talking
about that in just a minute. But we, like I said,
we have some change, a couple of changes that we're
gonna be doing and just kind of want our letter
viewers know kind of what's going on where we are
taking away the underground bat of the Week. I think
some people enjoyed it, and probably most people it seemed

(05:57):
like didn't. So instead of doing a ground bad of
the Week, we are going to be doing a single drop,
which is when a band releases a new single, we'll
go ahead and play here and talk about it. So
I think they'd be pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Changes it up, it's familiar, it's gonna be great. There's
a lot of good ship coming out. I think we're
talking about Elier, There's a lot of stuff on the horizon,
so it's gonna spice it up a bit.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, definitely. And uh so in saying that we're also
getting rid of the Question of the Day segment. But
we are going to be doing Q and A episodes
throughout the year. So we're gonna do full on Q
and A episodes and drop them right here on YouTube
and Spotify and pretty much wherever you listen to our content.
Uh that work. Content always gets a little content creators

(06:42):
the content creator. Now we all create content. Andro Baji
Rudy Tony Content. One of our Instagram followers said that
we should do a full episode of our interviewing Dave
Mustaye and I'm Dave Mustayne and he's like, he's like

(07:04):
the biggest fan, and I'm I'm just the hero letting
him down.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Which would kind of reflect real life because it's like
depends what I don't know, like depends what kind of
Dave you're gonna get the day that you mean. So
I'd be a little I'd pee my pants.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
A little bit. Let's give him a little preview. I
don't know if I could do the voice for a
whole hour because I just almost throw my voice right now. Uh,
let's get in the character real quick, Alex. Let's get
into a little character all right. Let's give him a
trailer a preview. You ready, Okay, I'm ready. Okay, I'm
Dave Mistayine. You're gonna ask me a question or two?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Okay, okay?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Here? Oh fuck fucking got here from Japan. I didn't
plan and I didn't really I just took the plane
to the to the terminal and then went right back
because fuck the Japs.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Dave, I just want to say, you're, Oh god, you're
a bigot. You're you're a legend. You mean a lot
to me. I know that too, influenced my guitar playing.
I know that too, So I just want to say
you're you're fucking badass, and and thank you for not
stomping me under your boot.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's okay. Are you Christian? By the way, please tell
me you're a Christian? You believe in Christ? I used to,
but not anymore. So we need to go back to that.
When you revert back, you're not converting.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
You're born again, so well respectful.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I converted, you would be reverting. You'd be reverting. That's
a great song title, revert me.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
If I inspire a song, I am.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Saying that it's not going to fucking happy.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You're gonna give me writing credits, right.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, what I'll do is I'll quit your project and
then bitch about it for thirty years with alcohol. I'll
say he kicked me out of the band. Oh, I'll
never forgive him, but I'll forgive him.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I forget talking about it.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I'll fucking fu fuck Lars, fucking little Lars.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
All right.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Anyways, you got a question for me? Say you the question?

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, Dave?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
What goes into the process of choosing a new guitarist a.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
New guitarist, Well, I gotta kick the cart, I gotta
kick the current one out for I know, like to
give him about a couple of years. It always depends.
It could be a guitar attack, it could be a roadie,
it could be a fucking Mark mort or some bullshit.
You know, But I think I think my whole thing
is if they play better than me, then they're hired.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Okay, so everyone, every single one?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
How do you think Kirk Hammick got the dumba Metallica? Fuck,
that's where it started. He got the job and I
was like, no, motherfucker, I should. I believe in Christ.
I can't be cussing, but I know Jesus said a
fun give me one more, give me one more. Well,
I'm here. I came from Japan, the Japanese terminal to
sit with metology. I keep cutting you off, and I

(09:45):
don't mean to, but you're lesser than You're lesser than me,
so you're gonna bow. Yeah, In fact, it's another great song.
I should call it bow down, or I won't bow.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
You're very humble. Oh no, when you're in Japan, did
you do you stop by and say what up to Marty?
Or does Marty stop by?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Who's Marty?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Marty Friedman?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Marty Friedman?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
He was with you for like ten years through your career,
and then he moved to Japan after.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
It sounds like he moved to Japan because he was
afraid of me.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You know, vote Trump?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
You know, you know me and Marty, Me and Marty.
I don't remember much. I remember a lot of you're
gonna listen to what the fuck I say? I met
him at a couple thousand photo shoots. I always forgot
his name. I called Marky, I said Marky Friedman, and uh,
he always had to correct me.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
And that that son of a bitch, That.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Son of a bitch. That's like, that's like Jim Hetfield,
you know, like and the Little RS. I don't even
know his last time. He just called him Little RS.
But did I say how to him? Absolutely fucking literally not.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I tend.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I tend not to talk to people that I played
with and fired because they're lesser than me.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
At the end of the day, right, Like, that's honestly true.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean the day Ellison jacked off to an underage
girl and got caught on camera, I was like, oh, deuces,
I got another song I'm working on right now. It's
called under underage China underage he is a Mexican word
for hyena. That that fucking underage hyena caught Dave Ellen. Anyways,

case inside a vault at an undisclosed location.

Speaker 2 (11:36):

Speaker 1 (11:38):
I didn't say that because then you're gonna try and
go in there and get in I knowed to if
I suspect that I have to pray for your death,
I want to do that. You seem like a not
a really person because you're asking me fucked up questions.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
But you know, I'm sorry, Dave, just I'm just nervous,
that's all. You're nervous.

Speaker 1 (11:59):

though I look like a sixty year old grandmother.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now, it's nice to know that some money, you still
look like a legend. Don't worry, I know.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I just you gotta stand there on the spotlight and
not do anything for two hours while I play my guitar.
I can't be like James Hetfield running a whole fucking mile.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
All.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
We just kind of went for it.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
We just went for it, uh real quick before we
get started. Last thing, I know you guys are looking.
I posted some on Instagram last week where I said
I quit the podcast. I'm just gonna peel the banded off.
Didn't mean to, well, I didn't mean to.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I mean too, you know what I mean. I meant
to do it.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
I remember doing that.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I said that, I see I can't get the voice
on my hand now part so god damn.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
You got it just falling as king.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
And so I post on Instagram that I quit the podcast. Uh,
it's been a little I think we've all been frustrated
trying to do with each other's schedules and all that,
and I sometimes let my frustrations get the best of me.
So I made my grand return after a week and
unreleased episodes for two months. So I'm here and he's here.

(16:24):
You feel anywhere for forgiving me, and uh, we're off
to a good start.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I think we all forgive each other.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
We all Jesus forgives.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Jesus forgives. He does loves the little children.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
So yeah, so so I'm back. If anybody was gonna
ask about that, Uh yeah, we just had to work
through some internal issues and I'm glad we did because
I love doing this and I love hanging out with you.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Love doing this. We love doing this, we love doing
it with each other.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
And we came back, came back better strong. Hard is
darkest fucking here though. We have a whole new study. Yeah,
it's not like bright and ugly like this. This is
kind of and I know Botch you didn't like it
at first, but I think he's coming around a little bit.
I got one wall, yeah wall, you guys can't see
it anyways. So yeah, so we're gonna get into we're

(17:19):
gonna do the song of the day. Well, the song
of the day, I'm just gonna call it. I think
single drop. I think that's a different kind of title.
So for this episode, we're talking about a new song
that just dropped. Also today, the sam By Kills, which Engaged,
dropped their album This Consequence. Uh Disturbed, a band that
we have covered on this podcast way early on. Probably

(17:41):
do another one. I think it'd be kind of fun
to do another one now that it's been like five
years or six years since that episode, so.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, and how long have it been since then that
Disturbed has dropped anything.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
They dropped an album in twenty twenty two. Yeah, So
so here's the thing about Disturbed is like I've I
I don't don't normally like fought like Disturbed as one
of those bands, like I kind of got over after
their fourth album. Yeah, And every now and then they
drop a song, I check it out. Most of the time,
I don't like it because it's very for me, like
and it always sounds the fucking same. Yeah, you know,
and I think that that's in the metal Like even

(18:15):
Metal Injection did an article today of fans react, but
it was like a lot of backheaded comments and fans
just like, oh, greatest song in the world. This is
a wonderful song, so different from their entire catalog.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I stopped.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I was like, okay, those are yeah, those are fifth albums.
So I didn't I didn't get there. I got the album,
but I never listened to I just heard the single,
and I'm like, their covers are always kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
It come to me.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, uh so we're gonna talk about We're gonna listen
to their new single I Will Not Break, and then
we'll give our quick thoughts on it. Just do it,
you guys, ready to revisit some Disturbed? I Actually, that's
a fun little question. When was last time you heard
a Disturbed new single? What was the last check on
song I did?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I didn't even hear about this twenty two album.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
That you don't even know they put an album three
years ago.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
I did not even know they did that.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
So Chikaka Asylum is like probably the last that I
checked in.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's eleven.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, geez.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
The only time I ever listened to him, dude is
on Rock one of five three. God damn, I'm to
be honest with you.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Good you know.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
So we're targeting the main demographic here. I love it
all right. So this is their new single, I Will
Not Break. Right, came the jungle like dune jungle. It's
like a jungle baby like job like.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
I feel it's somewhat different.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I'll trap up a little bit how we're feeling it.
I like you, Oh, well, fucking undertaker, long intro. I

(20:26):
think it's coming up.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Okay, it's pretty bad park.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Right, that's the last.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm very like robotic Us just dust fills.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Wonder what he like a criminals with all the nag
in the bag.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I'm just I'm like, I'm a light test.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
There's nowhere to high test from anyone.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
He wants anything much of me, Like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I can't believe it's gonna be.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
A fine man, remind man and everything. I will this time.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
I know many mentions my lasting.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
I will this time.

Speaker 7 (21:25):
I know mass the last mount times to.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
Get away together.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
He's falcon me the lasting crim Okay, okay, I'm gonna
skip to the bedside.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
Together.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
I can leaves.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
And that's been privately saying.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh ship, that's fun. I'm not going to play for

(22:34):
a second.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
I like to. I will not.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
All right, So that was I will not break if
I disturbed.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Go wow, that was pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Cool dude, it was cool.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I like that. Surprised me. I like it a lot.
Actually like that. I don't hate it.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
The drums they sound really electronic. Yeah, dis terms all
always had that very like. I think it's so so.
I I remember reading an article about this uh and
revolver where they they said it's live drums. It's not
it maybe drums it's live, but what they do is
they syncopate the kicks so well, like they it's it's
all syncopated with the guitar. So there is no like

(23:22):
because drummers will sometimes play a similar beat to the syncopation,
but they'll have their own, like, you know, maybe like
an off kick pattern or something. These guys are very syncopated,
and I think that it's just like a lot of
very simple drum fills too. It's not a lot of
like going crazy, it's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
You know, yeah, so like the I mean the drums
for sure of the style is like very staccato like,
but yeah, but the fact or there's this like I
don't know, twenty five like a bag going on, where's like.

Speaker 8 (23:51):
Super clean, crispy, like yeah, it has like a punch dude,
Like to me, the drums stood out a shimmood.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
And I'm gonna say, like, I okay, so I'm just
gonna say right now, I actually really like this song,
so I probably will check out the album. I think
the funny thing about this song is they're not doing
anything different from what they normally do. I think it's
just a really good version of what they do, like
the formula of how they write and what their songs

(24:18):
sound like with a slight updated tinge to it more
with electronics. They always have electronics. But I think it's
just such a good song.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, it feels like they They also change their tone
a bit compared to their sounds similar, but there's there's
there are some differences like with the solos. Oh that
solo sounds not like tone wise, sounds nothing like any
other solo.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
So it's like I think it's like little things that
they improved one, which is cool.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Like I like it's a good song, good song, honey.
Any final thoughts on I Will Not Break? Are you
curious to check out a new album now? Or are
you kind of like dipping your toes a little bit?

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I'd like for them to do like some dark ship,
like some dark industrial like I'd be downe for it. No,
I don't hate this at all. I'm actually surprised and
it's refreshing although it's not too different, but the presentation
is is has some fire under it. Yeah, you can
you can feel it for sure.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I like it and I actually think to the lyrics
because David did say that he dealt with a lot
of who dealt a really bad depression. Last year he
dealt with like suicide and all that their thoughts of suicide.
He never attended anything. But I think it's the lyrics
are coming from a very genuine place because before it
was always like we will rise, and you know, it
was very like togetherness. And I think that this is

(25:40):
a very vulnerable because it's not like a complete like
that was a song sound of something. Well, what's fucked
up is that's their biggest song I know, by far,
their cover of Someon and garfune Co.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
I think, yeah, that was the last time I heard them.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
It was that.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That wasn't that long ago. Okay, So actually here here's
the stream numbers. Okay, so down with the Sickness, everybody knows.
Down with the Sickness. Yeah, down the Sickness. Eight hundred
and forty one million plus streams.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Damn almost a billion, dude.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Sound of Silence four hundred and one plus million streams.
The reason why that's crazy, I look at the both
of them like that is because The Sickness came out
in the year two thousand and Sound of Silence was
on their album Immortalized, which came out in twenty fifteen.
So it's been half at half that number already, but

(26:37):
on Spotify it's their most popular song above down with
the Sickness, which is fucking crazy damn. Anyways, Uh, Rudy,
it's cool, dude. When the album comes out, I'm definite
gonna listen through it. So cool, cool, cool, All right, guys,
what do you guys think? Let us know. Yeah, now
we're going to get into the the the reason why

(26:58):
we're all there, nitty gritty. Uh, We're gonna get into
the new Killswitch Engauge album. This consequence, we don't have
to talk about like how we got into the band.
This is an album review, so these are structured a
little differently. What I just want to quickly touch on
is like, what are your thoughts on Killswitch Engauge overall
as far as like their career, were you ever really

(27:22):
into them? Why you weren't into them? You know, just
like those kind of things. Uh, Bojie, we'll start with you.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Kill Switch fucking love them. My got in when I
first heard Killswitch. I got into the John uh a
Howard Jones, Howard Jones era Killswitch. I did hear the
first album with.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
A lover just breathing with Jesse Leach with Jesse Leach.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Which I was like, okay, whatever, But I've liked the
I like their album Live. I've liked both eras, so
it's like, I like them both. But I think they're
a great band.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Like they've.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
They've influenced a lot of the current bands that I
listened to a lot. Yeah, as you know, they were
one of like the metalcore one of the first.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
They were the biggest one.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, they were the biggest metal core bands to come
out during that time. So it's like, I like them.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
They are good.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I honestly don't know what else to say about them
other than fucking like I I haven't heard this new
album yet, so I'm just going in this blind and
I'm just trying to see where it goes.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Got it all right?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
HANSI kill Switch Engage.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I've never really been a fan of them, and it's
never been you know, like, I don't hate it.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
I just singing. I thought you were very forgiving of
the vocals.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
The vocals.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah. If you think I'm a hater now, I was
a way more hater back then.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Oh, I know.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
And I'm ready to listen to this new album, Like
I haven't heard it so I'm pretty stoked to hear.
But the little that I heard, I was like, holy shit, Like,
so I'm curious if I have a different outlook. But
I've always had respect musically for the band because you
can't deny they're fucking really good. And during Drained my
previous band, like it was always heard, you know when

(29:12):
it dropped, like we listened to it in the car
so that I couldn't escape it. You know, like obviously
they were pretty big. But yeah, I'm excited to hear
the new shit. See if it changes me.

Speaker 8 (29:22):
Rudy kill Switch, I mean I've always known about them.
They're not like one of my top favorite bands, but
definitely my era was the Howard era. Yeah, you know,
after he left the band, pretty much I kind of
fell off. I've seen them a couple of times play though, nice.
But yeah, I mean I already started listening to this

(29:43):
album and yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's good cool.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
So yeah, Killswitch for me, long story short, Killswitch was
probably the first one of those bands. We all have
those bands, the band that like you get into when
they're in the underground when not a lot of people
really know about them, and they fucking blow up and
you're like, I've been listening to them. You know, we
all have that.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
It is my secret.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's a secret ben in the back of your pocket
by is mine. So for me, it was kill Switch.
I remember it was seventh grade. I was in the
media program in school, and my buddy Robert Pltzer, wanted
us to play a kill Switch engage song because at
the end of every week we did like a media broadcast,
like a news broadcast, and at the end of the
broadcast we did like a video of the week, and
it was always hip hop is on Nelly and shit

(30:27):
like that. Right, But Pltzer, who I think some could
argue was like the coolest dude in the school. At
least to me, it seemed like the coolest dude. He
ends up giving me a VHS tape that he recorded
a bunch of videos on from Fuse, and I was like,
I never heard of Fuse. Whatever, play the tape. The
one he wanted was kill Switching Gage with my Last Serenade,
and we ended up playing that that week. That became

(30:49):
one of my favorite songs of all time. And the
mide I heard that song was like this is like
I thought, it was death metal, because that's how different
it was from when I was listening to the seventh grade.
And the cool thing about that story is that, you know,
fast forward six years later and I meet my wife
and it turned out that she was the cousin of

(31:10):
Robert Plutze. She was very close with them. So that's
a neat little story. I like to share it so
she likes it. Whenever I played Killswitch in the car,
because like, I know, Robert got you into that band,
I was like, yeah, and I was given I always,
you know, say the story whenever we're talking about Killswitch.
I would love kill Switch Away in the beginning, absolutely
adored that hard Jones. Arrow was really into the early
just Leech era too on a lever, just Breathing. I

(31:30):
bought that album actually a week after I got the
video with the music video, and I fell off. I
fell off after as Daylight Dies. I thought the album
was all right, I know that there's some bangers on,
there's some hits, but a year was that that was
like two thousand and five or two thousand and six,
damn yeah. So I fell off with them hard after that.

(31:53):
And then when Jesse came back into the band I
think in like the late twenty tens. I did check
out some of the newer songs and I fell in
love with them, but not to the point where I
went back and checked out the albums. I kept like
three or four of those songs on my main playlist.
That's really it. So I've been kind of like off
the kill Switch train, but I still check out their

(32:13):
singles because I actually adore the singles that they put out,
which is very different from bands that I love. I
normally don't like the singles very much, like I like
it when they come out, and then when I buy
the album, I dig more of the deep cuts. Ye
Kelswinch is one of those bands for like all the
singles I fucking adore. So anyways, that's my background with
kill Switch and the subject we're talking about. Now. We're
gonna get into this album to give a little info

(32:36):
on the album itself, because I literally just found out
that they dropped the album today. Knew they were gonna
drop the album. I didn't know what the data was
gonna be, so I wasn't too involved with finding out
information on this album, and actually I went to the
wrong page. This is great for coming back of the podcast.
This Consequence actually has no Wikipedia page, so god damn it, dude,

(33:01):
it's so fucking fresh.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's a fresh one.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
It's fresh.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I don't even know so you guys told me so.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I'm trying to look for the the there you go. Okay,
So on the website. Okay, it has like a little
thing on it somewhere. All right, whatever, I I I
will find out the notes while we talk about the album.
But the album just came out. It's so difficult to
fucking look this up right now.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
For something, I had a hard time looking up fucking
when his Revocations new Ship coming out. But it's that AI.
Dude's already working against us. I was supposed to fucking
fucking scarn it. Yeah, dude, there's bullshit.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Let me see personnel. This is so hilarious. What's the
guitarist name, Adam Adam d No one can pronounce his
last name, Duke Witz something like that. Yeah, So while
we review the album, I'll look at the personnel a
little bit more. But anyway, here we go. We're gonna

(34:01):
start off though, with the first song off of this
Consequence of This is Abandoned. Ushhh, don't shot.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
I go right, said Greg. Don't don't why I last
that back.

Speaker 9 (34:48):
My class, I got the promise.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
Oh my god, man, so bad you got that promise us?
I left SA all right, So.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
That's a bad us. Yeah, fucking ripper right out of
the gate. Yeah. No, definitely reminds me a lot of
the Jesse's to remind me a lot of the Haunted
early the Haunted. I forgot that singer's name. Yeah, anyways,
he does.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't know his name.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, I don't know. I always forget.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I don't know who this guy is.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Who is this guy Jesse?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Jesse? What era is he?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
So he's the original singer for Howard and then Howard
joined the band. Yeah, Howard joined the band for like,
I think, almost ten years, and then he quit and
they brought Jesse back, and Jesse's been in the band since.
So I think right now they have more albums with
Jesse than they do Howard. Okay, I think they've already
put out like three or four albums with Jesse.

Speaker 8 (36:19):
Speaking of Howard, like super random, did you did you
hear he's gonna make a solo album?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, yeah, I heard about. I can't wait to check
that out. I like his his band Scion with Jared Dines.
I think they're pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
But anyways, so upon hearing this track the first time,
because I listened to the whole album today on the
way on the way home, not very metal core, like
if you think about metal core, like, it's very just
riff heavy.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah, it's like very like hardcore thrash, like fucking riffageh sick,
that's cool.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Rudy thoughts on a Benamos d honestly reminded me of
like their older ship. Really yeah, well that's interest. I
feel like the melodicness in it. Oh yeah, you know yeah,
I love that. Yeah, the melodic hooks. That's a staple
of the sound. That's like, if you don't like that,
you're not gonna like kill Switch at all. But I
think I think they amped up the heavier parts. And

(37:16):
what I like so far is it still sounds like
kill Switch, just not metal corey kill Switch, just like
a metal kill Switch Metal is a hard track, No, definitely,
Bossie thoughts on a bad Inness Fucking yeah, I have
a monster right here, not sponsored, but we have a

(37:40):
monster right here.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
No.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
I like it, fucking I love how heavy it starts
right off the bat, and I am living digging the
clean parts, very melodic.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I'm not digging it.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
I'm digging it cool.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
And the production is nice. It's it's a little gritty,
it's crispy. It's nice gritty, that's crunchy. Yeah, I'm digging it.
And I want to say Adam D produced this album,
because he's produced all their albums, but I can't find
anywhere where that's like.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
He always makes sure he's like the fucking guitar department.
Like the tone, like you can never say like they
have a bad tone or whatever album. Like I think
he's I've heard his like production and it's like it's
always fucking stellar yea.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
And also the Based one on this album, Like, pay
attention to the Based one when we're listening. It's that
kill Switch Engage Mike D'Antonio based one that's just fucking
cutting through.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
So well, that's sick.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
We're gonna get to the second track, Discordinate Nation.

Speaker 10 (39:15):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
That's fresh, that's a refreshing course.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
So what's funny is I have one of the new
Defiant songs. I'm working on them as a blast beat
with the melodic I wanted to clean vocals of it.
I was like, fun, because look, beat me to it.
I showed you guys a song too. But it's like
a blast beats melodic.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
It reminds me of this calling where the drums are
like whoa, like they're going hard like this, this is
the same kind of feeling.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, Rudy thoughts on discordination those blast beats. I was like, oh, fun,
I didn't know this was kill switch, Like, ye is
the same drummer, same drummer, justin Foley, He's been the
drummer always, always, always Bozzie thought some discordination it like just.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
It's very refreshing, dude, this parton something.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Kill Yeah, ye.

Speaker 8 (40:36):
Dude, like I haven't had so long and hearing him again,
like I remember you know that melody, dude, that melodic sound.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
What's cool is just how how different Jesse and Howard
Jones are vocally, because just very bad, very Luther vand
and then Jesse is like very kind of like a
higher range right like mid high. I've always loved the
difference and the fact that you could tell the difference
from the two. But the band still sounds great. All right,

(41:05):
We're gonna move on from this coordination to the next song.
This is Aftermath two. After that talk about this is
when Rudy's just sitting right there on the curve.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Been there, dude, I shouldn't been that.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Read that in the morning. That girl cheese Burrin. I'll
just that Beefy til Burrio.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
Dude, this one sounds good.

Speaker 9 (42:01):
Boss los.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
La copy of Sambourine.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
It's not really d's a little production trip.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Prom feel like that. It's just.

Speaker 7 (42:34):
Less no conslet's say.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
Myself.

Speaker 9 (42:48):
I don't care, man, don't.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Alright, I'm rocking it.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Feel what I like about it so far, what I've
like about it, it's very raw, like it's not like
like we were hurrying like we're hearing earlier with Disturbed, ye,
you know, they added electronics, and you know that seems
to be the push that were more modern metal bands
are going is more electronic but kills. With this album

(43:20):
so far, it's been like just raw, just like it's raw.
It's just guitars, drums, bass, vocals, that's it. No little,
no over example, no over electronics. And I'm really liking
that because it's like.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
It's different, it's different than what we're used to different,
but it's refreshing a great and yeah, the only electronics
I think the cool thing about this is the only
real electronics Star is more on the EQ side, Like
that intro, it's like, oh, throwing a guitar pedal, Right,
It's not like they're like creating samples and loops and
ship even the tambourine. I'm like, if that was a

(43:54):
band now, that would be a high had loop that
would be going on. And that's like, fuck, you don't
hear that much anymore, that fucking black metal. And that's
like the second time, Like the first tie was the
blast beat and discordination that chorus because they did the
tremolla picking too. I'm like, okay, okay, someone's been listening

(44:16):
to some Black Dolly Murders. Someone's been listening you know
all that, Uh Hondro being being the most forgiving one
on vocals.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Dude, I think I like this guy like way more
because the only thing I remember from the old days
was like, I love it.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
It's so different, dude, Howard was so unique.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
He was, yeah he is, But I like this much more. Yeah,
Like this is kind of like revitalizing my interest and
uh wanting to check that out. But yeah, I like
this song, even the chorus. Dude. You know.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
See I only heard this song twice, once on the
way home and then once.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Right now, and I'm like it, you think we should
have added some and the light.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
God, I would have loved to have tambourine. I would
be like timbering. Timbering is one of my favorite instruments.
It's so stupid, but anytime you heard timber and it's like, yeah,
I feel that that with cow bells and I love that.
It's this song was like on the more melodic side,
but it's still heavy as ship. H No, definitely still there.
Rudy thoughts on aftermath. I like you, dude, I feel

(45:24):
like every song has gotten better than the last one.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah you know so yeah right, it's a good journey
so far.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Yeah. I like the first track. The second track was
like little less, but this one's like it's still good.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
It's like ab a yeah, It's like like you won't
skip it. If you're listening to the album, you're like,
oh yeah, track three, let's go.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
I don't like it as much as track two, but
fucking track three slaves.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
And the little that we heard it's like, dude, when
you're when your bridge sections like are so interesting, It's
like it like revitalizes the song for me, where it's
like I want to fucking listen to it more until
I fucking like it kind of thing because it's like
you know what's coming and I want to get over there.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, I'm digging it so far.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Cool. And just for the record, you know, we have
two guys who are who were big fans of kill
Switch and two.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Guys not not so much really a little bit more
than me.

Speaker 8 (46:18):
Yeah, I mean but like I can't tell you the
last time I physically looked up kill Switch and listen
to him.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
About you know, but I do like them. Yeah cool.
I want to keep track of that like social dynamic,
like you know, because you definitely not kill Switch, And
so you liking this is very interesting.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
I like that a lot. It sounds like it just
taken me back to just a couple of dudes who
just love metal. Yeah, you're just fucking trying to have fun.
So I'm digging the energy so far.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
And I'm going to tell you I'm just gonna be
straight up. When I heard this album on the way home,
I knew right away, Alex is gonna like it. I
knew you were to like it too, but I was like,
I think Alex is going to be very surprised because
as the album goes along, like they start off with
the heavy shit and they do some metal cory stuff.
There's those black those little black metal tinges with the
blastpets and the tremla picking. Even though it's melodica ship,

(47:05):
it's still like that style. As the album progresses, you're
gonna hear more of like an eighties throwback eighties hardcore
kind of five. So that's more towards the later part
of the album. But I want you to look forward
to that because to me, this is like the heaviest
song is way at the end, which I show. Anyways,
we're gonna get in the next song forever aligned, and

(47:28):
it seems like we are all aligned in our opinions
were aligned right now, so we're not forever aligned. We
are momentarily aligned.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
The jagged.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Isn't it? This is forever aligned?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Take that ship.

Speaker 6 (47:49):
Right wrong, Rise back Bad, Don't get Out.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
It is so annihilated. It was fucking hot stuff.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
That's like eighty trash.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Oh yeah, that was all right?

Speaker 4 (48:47):
What I'm like all like smiling.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
That was something else would do, for sure, Dude, I
didn't expect there to be that fucking eighties thrash, like
annily like kind of like fucking jagged edge, fucking Razor
Sharp fucking playing. Yeah, and that man goog A Gang,
goog A Gang. It's like, oh, fuck, that was good.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
You made Alex come dude, Yeah, I made I mean you,
I finally did it. I finally brought in a fucking
band that he's gonna big.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
That something about it, dude, Like, because I don't like
certain stuff, but then you'll find me loving like Annihilator
and like stuff that's just very like, you know, it's
not big, you know, but but there's just something about
like the riffage, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
fucking takes me back to fucking the early nineties, late
eighties fucking riffage that was going.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
On, for sure, Rudy Switch, Dude, that's crazy, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
But it's just different.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
I mean kind of like like there are old Simms,
more metal Corey, and this is just very like eight
forward metal.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I think I don't know quite how to explain it.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
I feel like it feels more punk metal.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Yeah, it's just very it's like hardcore, yeah, very hard.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
It's like straight up just hardcore. At this point, it's
like it's metal, but it's like it has that hardcore
tinge to it. And it's just they keep adding it
after every like after every song, they just add a
little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more,
and I'm like, all right, I can get behind this.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
And they do the big radio rock chorus, but it
doesn't seem annoying. Oh oh, it's like a big, like cheesy,
like hold your girlfriend kind of chorus, but it doesn't
get in the way.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
I mean that melody is good, but it is fucking
I like that.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yeah, that's sick. So this is probably my favorite song
off the record. I think this was to see this. Yeah,
this is my favorite one. I love the dynamics between
the two and then though I just know how it started, yeah,
beating the ship out snare. It's kind of like it's
kind of like you when you're on your ape session.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
Of the day. This is when everyone in the room
has swear, like protective ears because you get really loud.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
You're really loud. Al We're gonna get into the next song.
The next song wonderful My Spotify just crashed. That is wonderful.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Oh ship, beautiful ship? What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (51:26):
All right? We got I dud uh sky that's after,
I after after for sure. The next song is a
song called I believe, I believe.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
What is that?

Speaker 11 (51:47):
Tambourine baby, science.

Speaker 6 (52:02):
To spa South of Run.

Speaker 12 (52:09):
Not ba saw show, a fire of the facebooks.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
Time time to make a.

Speaker 10 (52:20):
Mastack none to nice sounding mumble side.

Speaker 6 (52:32):
Sat SI this time time.

Speaker 4 (52:41):
By fucking running.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
Side.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
There's out of tone.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
Scot fame.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
So that was I believe.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
I believe there's a solo on this. Okay, there's no solo,

(53:22):
all right, I know there's a solo coming episode. Uh
so thoughts on I believe.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Most of the song is most of the song is
clean vocal. I think it's the only song on the
record that has majority clean I.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Like it, like, like like you were saying, I don't
know if you Yeah, it does give that eighties vibe.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Yeah, Like it's like.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
It's like rocky rocky, yeah rock exactly, rocky fucking training
classic rock. Yeah, but like I'm obviously like a modern
spin to it. It's really good, Like I like it,
uh drow, could you tolerate the queans on that one?

Speaker 5 (54:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:05):
It was fun. This is probably like the most classic
kill switch. Sounding like that takes me back at least
to the Yeah, to the power phase. I don't know,
I'm going yeah. Because of that, it's probably like the
weakest point. But it's not a weak point. It's just
this is like a ce yeah, while the other ones
have been like a b aa. So it's like ship

(54:27):
remember long.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Remember when they're playing this set line, they have to rest.
They just can't be thirty minutes every night, concrete.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
You should take that advice for yourself, bron. Imagine the
tenth time, just fucking bogies. I believe, I believe. I
gotta stop screaming. I don't know if they're home yet.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (54:55):
I don't know, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
But anyways, so.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
For you, this is a this is the weak point
of the album, the weak point, but it's not even
like a week point, because it's like a it's like
a C grade. So it's a classic. It's it's like, hey,
we're still here. Maybe, But if it took him this
long to do it, that means that there's like it's
a good album.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Yeah, this is the turning point of the album. What's
funny is this is where things are gonna start getting heavier. Really,
so they're like, I feel like this is like the
middle chapter. This is like, we're gonna get this out
of the way because it didn't fit at the beginning
of the album. It sure as fuck doesn't fit at
the end. We're just gonna PLoP it in.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
The middle, like the divider in the middle.

Speaker 8 (55:33):
Uh rudy thoughts on I believe I like it, dude,
and I actually really like his clean Yeah, it goes
really fucking well with the song.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
You're saying its gonna get heavier. Mm hm, that's crazy.
You know what I like too about this song is
Adam singing. So Adam always does like that little line.
And during Killswitch's song, he has like a line in
a chorus that he does normally it's low five. Normally
he does he just has a low fi this one,
it's I heard low fight during a bridge, but turn
the main chorus there's no low fire. So anyways, I

(56:08):
just thought for kill swarch and fans, you guys probably
know what I'm talking about. We're gonna move on to
the next one. We're gonna see if I'm lying, if
it gets heavy or not. This is where it dies.
I think this is also where called whe Well, it's
like it's like I believe it's the radio rock single
and now this is where it dies.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
It's literally it's called no.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
That's what I'm asking that.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
This is where it dies.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
I die expect expecting death.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
I can imagine kills coming on stages. This one's about
Bogi's dick at the eleven PM and night. It's called
this is where it dies?

Speaker 4 (56:46):
Go on?

Speaker 1 (56:47):
All right? So where it dies?

Speaker 5 (56:49):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Where? Where?

Speaker 13 (56:53):
Where?

Speaker 6 (57:02):
I like that?

Speaker 4 (57:11):
Just let it ride, baby.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
God?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
So all that remains?

Speaker 12 (57:26):
Oh yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
Mean rip good?

Speaker 6 (57:45):
Whats this? Red sor wit?

Speaker 7 (57:48):
That tell my guy?

Speaker 6 (57:49):
The guy right down? That's right man, work large red eye? Well,
I say no sight like ball. So y'all got so.

Speaker 12 (58:07):
D John Jay, that's.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Pretty hard, journeying like to fight.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
That's a wall.

Speaker 6 (58:23):
So that's a guy.

Speaker 9 (58:31):
Why y'all red.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
Stands out so he'll love some boy?

Speaker 1 (58:40):
So by joh, I'll about the song.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
About it?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Oh y'all terrify like show.

Speaker 6 (58:58):
So that like.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
All right, dude. Now when I when I say heavier.
I mean, there's the chorus cleans are still there, but overall,
I think it's heavier. That's so definitely. Yeah, I gotta
find out if it's Adam or Joel that plays the solo.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
That Sollock kills, SOS bomb they bomb.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
That song just kills in general, just like it's like,
I don't if it's just like it felt like it
feels like they're going very raw with this album, Like
they're kind of like, like, you know, all like the
little touch ups, all the little beautiful things back here
to make this beautiful or whatever the fuck, like they're like,

(01:00:02):
fuck that play that riff?

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Yeah, that's that is some ship play too. I'll be like, hey, man,
give me like a metal riff. I'm like, you're gonna throw.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
There was actually once a riff here riff in the
song that I was like, that sounds like a fucking
defire riff. Yeah yeah, I was like that sounds like
but like it feels raw, and I'm fucking loving it
because like I feel that's something that we don't get
as much of right right and you know, right now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
But for sure love it. Rudy thoughts on where it
dies is that where it died for you.

Speaker 8 (01:00:42):
Like I said, this album this is really like wow,
you know, I haven't I haven't had one song yet
that I'm like got it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Like it's all fucking full throll dude, good ship, so highlight.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Yeah, the fucking production now I'm paying attention to the
bass and yeah, that's a killer fucking like the production's
killer between the guitars and the bass sharing the same space.
Like everything's audible. So it's fucking really good this song
that showcase that and yeah, man, there's just there's a

(01:01:20):
lot of like influences going on, Like I just it's
all over the place, but in a good way, you
know what I mean. Yeah, And there's moments where reminds
you of like all the Remains, and then there's moments
where reminds you of like Wolf, and then there's just
just some death metal like sprinkled in there. I don't know, man,
it's I'm definitely really intrigued to hear this on my
way home. I'll just say that there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Oh shit, oh shit, we did it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I admit it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
We did it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Boys finally broke me. I finally broke and it was
fucking killed, which I thought I almost Got You a creed,
I almost got you. Only got one song out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Of that, yeah no, but but I added it to
my fucking playlist, and it's for it to make that playlist.
That means that, like that playlist is like you're you're
always gonna be on a feel good, you know, keep
energy going kind of thing. So I think it's a
good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Got it. Yeah, one of my favorite tracks on the album.
I love the dragon Balls solo. You know, fucking at
the end that was racist.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
But no, no, no, no, you know I understood one
hundred that was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
An anime accent, not a Japanese accent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Not the same thing, not the same thing. Blurred.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
The line has been blurred. The next song is a
song called Collusion.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
It does something like you and You and Brandon was
something on.

Speaker 10 (01:03:02):
The Good Body The Bases in the Same Boy sand
Out somewhere said so I shot Jack, My god die
why I'm like that?

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
Sask domaged Joe, let your assassy sign.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Stamp the fucking tambourine.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
But it's bad, bad, so well.

Speaker 6 (01:03:50):
The John I shun.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
A collusion about the intro sound like a put a
little bit, yeah, little bit, okay, time just.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
You remind me of something like Hondro and Brandon would
fucking would fucking write yeah no, Yeah, it's just like
it reminds you of like this, like the idea of
like there was this one if you guys go back
in like I think it was the first to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Rest the Crown album twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Yeah, it was just that that weird, some weird as
ship that you and Brandon would come up with.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
I feel like, yeah, I think awesome, that's what it is. Awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
It is awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
A compliment is awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
Something let me humble, you let me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
But no, it's a fucking good I fucking love the
the simpleness of it, but it's still heavy, and I
do love the kind of typical oh.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Put the whole death metal chuggy chucky. So just so
you guys know, that is not normal for kill Switch.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
The guttural Jesse and Howard have.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
I know, Jesse has done it a couple of times,
but not a lot, maybe on one or two songs.
They both never did gut roles like ever. Jesse, you
only did one or two songs and it was like
on a part just like that. So that's very unusual
for them to do. So that means they had to
have like really fuilt that riff.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Handy thoughts on Collusion.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Uh, yeah, another my good track. This is uh I
give it a B. It's fucking strong. The chorus though,
is like I appreciate just how to the out of
the box like the choruses have been. Yeah, just and
it all has been mostly in the drums honestly, keeping

(01:05:50):
it fresh, different like swings and whatnot. So I gotta
give it up to them for like, you know, thinking
outside of the box and ship just because that's all.
That's what I like, you know what I mean? I
like like what sounds different? And I think I don't
get you don't really hear this kind of stuff, you know,
or I don't know. Maybe I didn't expect he'll switch
to be like that, right, Yeah, but then again it's

(01:06:14):
coming from like a non fan, so I might I
might be oblivious to like what they normally do. Yeah,
that's good ship all right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Rooty thoughts on Collusion.

Speaker 8 (01:06:23):
I get the intro was what got me the most. Yeah, game,
it reminded me a lot of your factory, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Yeah, that's when you know it's a good intro when
you're like, all right, I'm in when you're in, and
from like the fucking get go. Yeah, all right, we're
gonna move on to the next one.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
This reaction for me, guys is very surprising. So I'm
quite enjoying myself.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
I'm waiting, man, I'm waiting for the downfall is not happening.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
It's getting heavier. It's getting heavier per song. So many
how many songs a.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Uh should be three?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Three year left? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
I saw the I was trying to find like some
information on it, like the Yeah, I saw the track list.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
I was like, okay, we got like three more ten
songs thirty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
I literally like started it on my way home from
work and I finished it like probably like halfway through traffic,
and I was appreciate that let me and I listened
to I didn't listen to it again because I wanted
to have my next direction with you guys. But yeah,
it was nice to just listen to a full album
for like a half hour until like an hour and
twenty minutes. I'm like, God, that was kind of nice
to get through.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
All right, the next one is called the Fall of Us.

Speaker 13 (01:07:34):
Oh then they die.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
It's a lie.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Fucking heavier.

Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
At you falcket by, I realize the joys.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
I it's not like he's going I'm very definitely it's
stocks you by the throat, you.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
Know, okay, right, job as.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Wait look at me like it's the color chorus.

Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
It's the.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
Like relief.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Lose the vocals of.

Speaker 6 (01:08:50):
The gross.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Oh my god, oh god. I love that this one
is the fall of us. I'm saving.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
I kind of want to hear where that second course
ends because I feel like it's I just feel like
it's gonna go somewhere being and I kind of want
to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
You guys want to hear it. You guys want to
see where it goes.

Speaker 12 (01:09:29):
I just want to.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
I love how the chorus keeps changing, keep adding crazier.

Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
Alright, okay, I know how to pick that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Uh okay, what's that fun?

Speaker 6 (01:10:08):
Very interesting?

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
The face, Oh jog that tig.

Speaker 14 (01:10:26):
Don't buy that dog, I'm barred. That's a good line
out Get there, I got a really good one.

Speaker 7 (01:10:36):
I like a sag bo.

Speaker 9 (01:10:39):
No joy, I say, poor, I had your land, don't
buy your task.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Fine, it's nothing.

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
Very great. Jo shows.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
One more time, one more time, God.

Speaker 12 (01:11:15):
Along they boss out of timber A.

Speaker 5 (01:11:21):
It's the.

Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
Good.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
Thank you for slowing it down?

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
All right, Okay, that was that one.

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
I take it back.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
This is the best song on the album.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
I want to good.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
I've never heard kill Switch like that. That is not
kill Switch engage. I don't know who the fuck that was.
That was not kilch doesn't do that. The chorus was
three different phrases and it kept changing throughout the arrangement.
I love when, but the fucking heaviness, the.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Heaviness of it is what, Like I'm surprised, Like it's like, yeah,
kills which is heavy, but they're not that heavy. Like
I was like, oh, ship, Like they're fucking they're just
like it's like they're going heavier and heavier. I was like,
what's next. They're just gonna fucking just bust out a
fit for an autopsy riff and just fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
Don't tempt them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Right, They're straight out busting on blast speeds and death
metal chucks and gut roles like that's the blast beats
have always kind of had a place with kill Switch.
The gut roles and the death metal. Ship's like they
spent a long time. Like the first album, they did
more of that, but after that, you know, yeah, but man, dude,
this fucking so are we in agreement this is the

(01:13:01):
best song on the album or do we have a this?
Do we have another song?

Speaker 15 (01:13:04):
I thinks, right, yeah, yeah, right now that they think
this is like the top that and this is in
the this is like towards the end.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
So I wasn't lying when I told you guys it
gets heavier as each song. Fucking ghost between this one
and the third track. For me, it's it's just this
song on the one before, he's only done got so
far the other ones there was no ros Yeah, and
I appreciate the lack of solos because which was now
like a solo band, guitar solo band. But I do
love that they it's sprinkled throughout the album because it

(01:13:37):
makes it makes that song like a highlight. It's like, oh,
that's that's one of the killer Adam solo And yeah,
so where the next one is called broken Glass?

Speaker 7 (01:14:03):
O estay, I try I'd say live by dag.

Speaker 4 (01:14:15):
Arcourse song, Yeah, I got what dies.

Speaker 6 (01:14:21):
Jest that now I will stand try tell by.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Some by do we DoD dog stares sell under stock.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
That's pretty good delusion in the song.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
That's a got ser.

Speaker 13 (01:14:50):
Yeah shot, Yeah, very hard for her.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Okay, we're gonna we're gonna pull We're gonna pull the
skin back now. Oh god, so heavier in a different way,
very very hard for those blast seats are on the course, dude, unnecessary,
ridiculous but awesome. It's like you didn't need to do that.

(01:15:33):
I also love the vocal melodies. It's very eerie. It's
not like super empty puffy, you know. Yeah, Alison changed
a little eerie.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
That's what I was like trying to put my finger on,
like where the fund? Like where have I heard like
this styles? It's spooky, Yeah, like this like definitely al Alison,
al Hey. He has that like dark darkness to it. Also,
I was I was just hearing the lyrics. Lyrics sound
pretty like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
What's Jesse.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
Jesse like his lyrics were always dark as compared to Howard's, right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
Yeah, Howard was more about like it was more romance
but yeah, but also a hardcore like us together as
one people, you know, like Jesse's very introspective, he's very spiritual,
he's very so he talks a lot about like philosophy
and stuff like that. So that's where Jesse kind of is.
It's crazy that not only the vocal styles are different,

(01:16:31):
even the lyrical styles. Yeah, and Kills, which never went
in and said, hey, Howard wrote the biggest hits, so
we gotta write songs like Howard. Like they're just like Jesse,
whatever the fuck you want to whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
Undro thoughts on.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
I mean, man, coming off the previous track, that's kind
of a hard thing to follow, but at best, like
it sounds like a B track, like it's still fucking
you wouldn't skip it. This like this album so far, dude,
it is like a non skipper, non skipper if I
ever saw heard one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
But we don't know yet because we got one song left.
We don't know if you're gonna run it off now.
I'm yeah, yeah, it's like, oh, last song is just
not I know it's not going to be but imagine
the label said when he living songs, Oh, but the
last one sucks. We just want to cut it. Nope,
we're filling it in there. We're going to just put
it in slowly, all right. Rudy thoughts on Broken Glass.

(01:17:26):
I appreciate this drummer a lot, dude, Dude, get down, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:17:31):
It's just it's just weird because it's just like something
I just don't expect him to do that. He just
goes He's like all right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
It feels like he didn't overthink it. He's just like
fuck it last week. Yeah, because because because he's a
very technical drummer Howard Jones and Eric Hill switch very
like he does a lot of cool ship. This album's
very straightforward fuck it last week like two steps?

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Hey, what you got for that?

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
Last week?

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Like he just woke up like, I mad, what want?
We're gonna play the song for you. Just play what
play what you feel? Okay, okay, you know, just you know,
I know you're technical and all that, but you know,
just play from.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
The heart, from the heart, from the heart. All right.
The next one, the last one, we're gonna see when
in doubt, blast peat blast beat uh. Last song. We're
gonna find out if this is a finisher or the something.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Ending it will it end?

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Dude?

Speaker 8 (01:18:35):
If it's really heavier than everything else we've heard, Like
I'm gonna be like, holy fuck.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
If it is, I'm gonna nominate this for Best Album
of the Year.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
February.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
I'm gonna call it, you know, if if this song
is as heavy then the other songs, I will call
it that this album will win Best Album of the Year.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Just because it's all right, just because every song has
just been like Bren, even the worst song on this
album isn't terrible like it's it's good, it's good. It
fits all right. So we're gonna find out right now.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
Okay, that's that.

Speaker 9 (01:20:37):
Stop that bol side ballast.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
I'm calling it a lot of it a fucking year
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
Where there we got, right, Yes, I'm about that parlot.

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
Then oh, there we go.

Speaker 14 (01:21:54):
You know what, I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:55):
I appreciate they bring back.

Speaker 14 (01:21:57):
Out fucking killful, very garlics.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
I'm gonna let it play it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Sorry, almost over, It's not.

Speaker 6 (01:22:38):
It's not that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
And then Father Governal walks in the room and says,
Bogie best album of the.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
I stand by that. I stand by it. I stand
by that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
Before we give our thoughts on the album, I can
I guess I can already guess. I told you there's
gonna be an eighties throwback and this motherfucker this is
I don't think a metal core bank gets more eighties
thrash than this.

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
Is just straight up player right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
There right dude, Like I heard that show, like whoa,
I just remember the last week.

Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
So thoughts on Requiem fucking great outro, dude, fucking what
a way to end the album, Dude, I was not
expecting that. Fucking I loved it, but I still think
the third to last song was my favorite. This one
was fucking came out of the field. Yeah, the All
of Us is the one you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
That one definitely for sure, I think, but.

Speaker 8 (01:23:43):
This one was definitely I know why they put this
one at the end. It sounds like an outro song,
especially like at the end of the song, it's like
perfect way to close it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Uh faji requiem. Well you're over the moon right now.

Speaker 5 (01:23:57):
I fucking I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
I love that song fucking good, like when it's out
blast beat. No, it's just fucking I don't I was
not expecting it to be this good. Last year, let's
be honest, Metal really lacked. It lacked it fucking hard.
It lacked fucking hard. There were some people, some of
the bands were like, we're pulling through, but we can't

(01:24:19):
do it.

Speaker 14 (01:24:20):
We can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
But now it's this year starting off with this.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
It's a good start.

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
It's a good fucking start. Like I'm I know some
other bands that, like we have all talked about that
are putting out music. So I'm I hope that this
is the year Metal can you know, just come back again.
It's fucking good. But no, this song is fucking amazing.
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
Gotcha, uh, Andre the one I'm trying to impress with
this song. I want you to speaker mind, be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
This is how I like to end albums sometimes like
don't sometimes it don't have to be MOPI or like
acoustic or we know, like which is our album? Think yeah, no, no, no,
it is our album guitars Bob, like like, this is
one of the ways that I like to end is
like fucking just go fucking hard, like a party, fucking

(01:25:13):
like you know, just go out hard. And uh yeah,
I appreciate the fucking Slayer moments and it felt also
felt very classic to switch. So it's a blend going on,
especially with the verse and the chorus. But yeah, minus
the fucking drums right blast people. But yeah, I I
gotta say, yeah, I dig it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
It's a good way to go.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
Out, all right, all right, guys. So that was our
end of the playlist. We went into the place on
the album review I want us to give our final
thoughts on the album as a whole, uh and include
what would be your favorite song? You can only pick one.
You can't go to one favorite song off the record

(01:25:57):
collect individually, so we will start since you're you've been
over the mom. We're gonna start with Rudy and I'm
gonna work our way to me. I forgot the name already,
just told me.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
But that's the fall of us to follow us.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
That one was definitely my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
I think that's track nine. Yeah, that ship every everything
on the list, dude, gotcha? All right? And overall, what
would you give the album a rating?

Speaker 8 (01:26:22):
It's like AD eight or nine, dude, Like I want
to say nine, but I've only listened to it once. Yeah,
but as of right now, it's just like first time
listening to it. I mean, I listened to two songs
earlier because I don't have time to listen to it all.
And I'm gonna I'm gonna re listen to this album
when I go home. Well maybe not tonight, but definitely
gonna be. It's gonna be on in rotation Sweet Sweet,

(01:26:42):
And I want thoughts on the album and a rating?
And can we start with the point threes and in
point negative five? No, no, you don't get to have
twenty seven, get an m and.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
Over everybody?

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
Oh for omg oh no, fucking come on, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
That's describing words and sentences. Okay, So this album. Is
that the question right? The album rating well overall thoughts,
so I did not expect this kind of energy or
this like fucking just awesomeness. So I gotta say this

(01:27:26):
is very strong. It has a lot of heaviness, but
there's also like you know, choruses that are are very melodic.
So if you're looking for great rifts, here's some catchy
choruses and some tambourine.

Speaker 6 (01:27:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
This is definitely the album to check out. Just to
be different, I want to say track number three, which
is Aftermath, it was my favorite. Although I do agree
with with everyone's answer. I'm sure everyone's gonna say it,
but after Math was cool because it has that fucking
sick ass on I later riff in there and that's like,
holy shit, like no one's doing this twenty twenty five,

(01:28:01):
but these guys are so And as far as you know,
you see, you gave it like what eight out of ten?

Speaker 8 (01:28:09):
Yeah, I mean yeah, see, I want to give it
a nine, but I listened to it once, you know,
so we'll say eight point five for me.

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
Fucking do the points, Okay, I forgot my I was like,
I got you're good, You'll be eight point five.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
It's hard for me not to use the point system.

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):
Sorry, guys, to spround up Jesus Christ, it's not difficult.
Just round it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
I point say eight point three. It's a really strong album,
and like and the fact that you can listen to
a NonStop is a fucking plus and thirty five minutes.
And it's thirty five minutes, so if you're fucking on
your way home, you know, like like us, you know,
fucking dudes that don't have time. No, I'm just kidding.
I try to fucking listen where I can, but I

(01:28:53):
appreciate when it's short. I am a fan of Long Ones. Hey,
and you guys already know that, but.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
Bring back Howard Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
Bring back Howard Jones, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:29:03):
Yeah, if they bring him back, they can't do that
Long Jones, so they call them Long Jones Long John Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
All right, all right, that's that's those are my thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
All right, Baji, you've already given it a waste. Just
get to it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
I fucking love love it. It's fucking amazing. I'm gonna
beat momy just like it's it's it's like it's like
you're getting the same birthday it's like you're getting the
same the same present, but it's just like it's just
so much better. Like it's like it's fresh, it's fucking

(01:29:40):
it's kill Switch, yeah, but it's like they it's just
fresh kills which and I fucking love what they've done. Uh,
the same one as Rudy is. I'll be honest that
that track is for me is like all of us,
all of us for me, number one track and fuck
man like like I I'm gonna go for me. I

(01:30:05):
think it's a ten. I think it's a ten because
I feel every because every there's every song, I can
listen to it and not skip for me, like each
song is like a non skip and I'm just like
I'm like, I mean, what more does a ten fucking need?

(01:30:25):
Like if you if you're not willing to skip a song.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Because you're like, well, that means you love every song, yeah,
And it's like I.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Just like I want to hear each song because each
song has its own its own thing, its own thing
that makes it special. And to me, like, if each
song has that, that's that's just a fucking killer album.
I Mean the only downside it will be is be
like what song do I want to start start listening
to first. Then you're like, but it's like it's a

(01:30:55):
good problem to have. It's a good problem to have.
But yeah, no, I'm gonna call it. I think this
album will will win some Album of the years. Yeah, definitely, definitely,
probably gonna get yours. I feel very enthusiastic right now
about it. But I think, like overall, like you know,
the bigger metal media, I'm pretty sure I think this

(01:31:15):
album will definitely qualify, will be a qualifier, but I
think it will get Album of the Year.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
Okay, I am gonna say I love I love this album.
I was very surprised. I've not loved the Kill Switching
Gage album since End of Heartache. Yeah, like that was
the last time I was like in love with every
single song, and ever since then, it's been like a
couple songs here and there. But man, like this has
to like definitely rank in my top three Kill Switching

(01:31:44):
Gage albums of all time. I'm definitely curious to see
its replay value.

Speaker 5 (01:31:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
Yeah, you know, I don't listen to full on albums anymore,
so I'm interested because it's thirty five minutes. That's like
half it took me an hour to get to work.
So for me, I'm like, probably gonna dig into this
album a lot, and I love all the differences. They
went heavy with their stuff. You guys don't know kill
Switch is much, but they're the blast beats. They've always
have blast beats, but that was a heavier version of it.

(01:32:10):
All the dissonant chords even, you know, even the guitar
solos are way more shreddy than they used to be.
And Jesse did do like a lot more gutturals. I
was catching it towards the telling of the album. I
didn't notice that upon my first listen, so I just
wanted to point that out. And Definite tried some different
things with his cleans too, more like yelling eighties thrash,
some eerie shit here and there. So I appreciate that artistry.

(01:32:32):
Production I think doesn't sound as clean as previous albums,
but it has a grit to it that I like.
It's nice and gritty and Dorothy it's thick. I'm gonna like,
I'm gonna give the album. I think I'll give the album.
I'm gonna get in between you guys, I'm gonna be
given a nine out of ten I'm gonna a ten
out of ten for me, has to be an album

(01:32:53):
that I just constantly play over and over and over again.
Will it win best all of the year for me?
I'm not sure because I'm really looking forward to the
upcoming Spearbox album and I've loved all the singles so far.
But I definitely feel like this. If it doesn't get
to be my best ELM of the year, it's gonna
be a runner up. So I'll just say that nine
out of ten for me. So we got nine out
of ten eight point five fucking shit ten ten, So okay,
