We're about two-thirds through with the year so far and while we've gotten a good handful of new albums so far, there are still some that we were expecting that we've yet to hear from yet. With that being said, this week we take this opportunity to check in with The 2020 Skinny Draft as we update ourselves and the participating listeners on the point values of albums that have come out, but even better, we share some updates - including interviews and various quotes - that we researched on the albums that have yet to be released and figure out whether or not they might still be coming out in this chaotic year! Also on the show, The Smashing Pumpkins are teasing their fans on a potential new album(s); and we share our thoughts on albums both new and old that we've been listening to from Colour In The Clouds, Good Tiger, Weezer, Hoobastank, Bright Eyes, and Green Day. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theskinnywithmikeandadam/support

One of the most influential, most successful, most widely-known, and one of Adam's Top 20 albums of all time, 'American Idiot' by Green Day, is what we're highlighting in this track-by-track review of a modern classic. Sixteen years after the album first released, we look at the album's complex and layered themes of existentialism, repressed rage, and lost love and dissect each song piece by piece to discover whether or not the message and the album as a whole holds up going into the new decade. It gets emotional in this one, so we hope you're ready to join us on this feels-trip. Please enjoy! Also on the episode this week; we share the brief news of new music coming our way from both The Menzingers and even AFI; Adam catches us up on the state of the MLB going into week 2; and we share some quick thoughts on other albums we listened to this week from Bad Religion, Make Them Suffer, Broadside, Good Tiger, Colour In The Clouds, Misery Signals, and Creeper. Thanks again for spending some time with us this week! We hope you enjoyed it and we hope that you'll join us in the coming weeks for more album reviews, both new and classic! #GreenDay #AmericanIdiot #TheMenzingers #AFI #MLB #BadReligion #ColourInTheClouds #GoodTiger #Creeper #TheRobotWithPoodleHair --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theskinnywithmikeandadam/support

4/4 is the most overused time signature, ever! So if you want your music to stand out, the easiest way to do that is to use odd time signatures. Wait, but don’t odd time signatures sound odd? Not if you use the hack in this video. But first… tea! Hello revolutionaries, we are Kate Harmony and Ray Harmony (AKA Revolution Harmony), and welcome to Hack Music Theory. We help you make great music that stands out, so you can get discovered! If that sounds useful to you, then subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit that bell to get notified every Saturday, when we publish our new video. Alright, it’s time to open your DAW to hack music theory. So, Spotify just announced their most-streamed songs of 2018, but we all know, the most popular songs are never the best songs! Smash hits are products designed and manufactured for mass appeal, while great songs are works of art courageously and creatively composed for music’s sake. To balance out all the boring year-end lists of smash hits, we’re starting a new Hack Music Theory tradition: the most artistic music of the year! And we made our list by asking ourselves this question: What releases this year contained the most interesting theory used in the most creative way, resulting in accessible works of art? And it is vital that the songs are accessible, cos it’s actually super easy to write complex music, but it’s super difficult to write complex music that makes people dance and sing along! Also, our choices are obviously only from music we’ve heard, and as there’s about 20,000 songs being released on Spotify every day, it’s humanly impossible to listen to everything, but we did our best! So in this video and next week’s video, we’ll be covering our top two releases of 2018, and a game-changing theory hack from each release. And before we jump in, we’ve got more exciting news for you: We’re feeling festive, so one of you will win our pioneering online Apprenticeship course (worth $150). Details on how to enter are in the video. THEORYRight, without further ado, the first artist on our very short list, is: GOOD TIGER. In Good Tiger’s album “We Will All Be Gone”, they masterfully balance complex composition and technical musicianship, with accessible songwriting and the most beautiful melodies. Yeah, they truly are a great band! So this week when we got the Spotify Wrapped email that sums up your year’s listening, we were not at all surprised to discover that we’ve spent 43 hours listening to this album! For this video, we’ll focus on their song “The Devil Thinks I’m Sinking”. After the most epic (and catchy) chorus in 4/4, the song veers into an unaccompanied guitar riff in the odd time signature of 7/16. However, its oddness is cleverly disguised by the guitar’s 1/16 note arpeggios, making the riff sound like a refreshing rainfall of notes. The drummer then brings back his snare, but it’s on a regular backbeat, making the riff sound like it’s now in 7/8, and also making the section feel like it’s now in a kinda rushed 4/4 (as the last 1/8 note in every bar is cut off). And with that, Good Tiger has made a very odd time signature sound very accessible. Set-UpAlright, now you’re gonna learn how to use this theory to make your own version, and what you see on the screen right now is our version that we made earlier. And by the way, these dark notes below are the root notes of the chords in our progression - these notes are all muted, they’re just there for reference. So, start by setting up four bars of 7/16, with your grid set to 1/16 notes, and your tempo set to 95 BPM. In the original song, this section is in the key of E minor, so we’ll use it too. Step 1 - ArpeggiosFirst things first, you need a chord progression, so choose four chords from the key of E minor. We went with Em, Dmaj, Cmaj, and Bmaj. And please note that at the end, we switched into E harmonic minor, which turned the Bm chord into a Bmaj. Now, play each chord for one bar of 7/16. Then, break up each chord into 1/16 note arpeggios. And be sure to play some non-harmonic notes as well, which are notes that are not in the chord (but still in the key), like this 2 over our Em chord. And by the way, if you need help with the basics, or if you just wanna brush up on your scales and chords, then download our free music theory book below. Step 2 - GroupingNext, decide how you wanna group your 7/16. Good Tiger went with a 4 + 3 grouping, so we used it too. And to make your grouping stand out in this rainfall of 1/16 notes, accent the first note in each group, by turning its velocity up. Step 3 - BackbeatLastly, when you add your drums, remember to play them in 7/8 with a regular backbeat snare in most bars. And a regular backbeat snare in 7/8 is on the third and seventh 1/8 notes in the bar. This makes everything feel like it’s in that kinda rushed 4/4 vibe that we spoke about earlier. NEXT Right, now that you’ve got one section down, how do you write more sections for it, and then, how do you transition between those sections, and turn 'em into a song? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you’ll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to finish your songs! You’ll also gain access to our Private Network, which is a safe online space (i.e. social media platform) exclusively for our 500+ apprentices from 50+ countries. Our Network is a super supportive place for you to ask theory questions, share your music, get feedback, meet like-minded music makers, and collaborate!

4/4 is the most overused time signature, ever! So if you want your music to stand out, the easiest way to do that is to use odd time signatures. Wait, but don’t odd time signatures sound odd? Not if you use the hack in this video. But first… tea! Hello revolutionaries, we are Kate Harmony and Ray Harmony (AKA Revolution Harmony), and welcome to Hack Music Theory. We help you make great music that stands out, so you can get discovered! If that sounds useful to you, then subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit that bell to get notified every Saturday, when we publish our new video. Alright, it’s time to open your DAW to hack music theory. So, Spotify just announced their most-streamed songs of 2018, but we all know, the most popular songs are never the best songs! Smash hits are products designed and manufactured for mass appeal, while great songs are works of art courageously and creatively composed for music’s sake. To balance out all the boring year-end lists of smash hits, we’re starting a new Hack Music Theory tradition: the most artistic music of the year! And we made our list by asking ourselves this question: What releases this year contained the most interesting theory used in the most creative way, resulting in accessible works of art? And it is vital that the songs are accessible, cos it’s actually super easy to write complex music, but it’s super difficult to write complex music that makes people dance and sing along! Also, our choices are obviously only from music we’ve heard, and as there’s about 20,000 songs being released on Spotify every day, it’s humanly impossible to listen to everything, but we did our best! So in this video and next week’s video, we’ll be covering our top two releases of 2018, and a game-changing theory hack from each release. And before we jump in, we’ve got more exciting news for you: We’re feeling festive, so one of you will win our pioneering online Apprenticeship course (worth $150). Details on how to enter are in the video. THEORYRight, without further ado, the first artist on our very short list, is: GOOD TIGER. In Good Tiger’s album “We Will All Be Gone”, they masterfully balance complex composition and technical musicianship, with accessible songwriting and the most beautiful melodies. Yeah, they truly are a great band! So this week when we got the Spotify Wrapped email that sums up your year’s listening, we were not at all surprised to discover that we’ve spent 43 hours listening to this album! For this video, we’ll focus on their song “The Devil Thinks I’m Sinking”. After the most epic (and catchy) chorus in 4/4, the song veers into an unaccompanied guitar riff in the odd time signature of 7/16. However, its oddness is cleverly disguised by the guitar’s 1/16 note arpeggios, making the riff sound like a refreshing rainfall of notes. The drummer then brings back his snare, but it’s on a regular backbeat, making the riff sound like it’s now in 7/8, and also making the section feel like it’s now in a kinda rushed 4/4 (as the last 1/8 note in every bar is cut off). And with that, Good Tiger has made a very odd time signature sound very accessible. Set-UpAlright, now you’re gonna learn how to use this theory to make your own version, and what you see on the screen right now is our version that we made earlier. And by the way, these dark notes below are the root notes of the chords in our progression - these notes are all muted, they’re just there for reference. So, start by setting up four bars of 7/16, with your grid set to 1/16 notes, and your tempo set to 95 BPM. In the original song, this section is in the key of E minor, so we’ll use it too. Step 1 - ArpeggiosFirst things first, you need a chord progression, so choose four chords from the key of E minor. We went with Em, Dmaj, Cmaj, and Bmaj. And please note that at the end, we switched into E harmonic minor, which turned the Bm chord into a Bmaj. Now, play each chord for one bar of 7/16. Then, break up each chord into 1/16 note arpeggios. And be sure to play some non-harmonic notes as well, which are notes that are not in the chord (but still in the key), like this 2 over our Em chord. And by the way, if you need help with the basics, or if you just wanna brush up on your scales and chords, then download our free music theory book below. Step 2 - GroupingNext, decide how you wanna group your 7/16. Good Tiger went with a 4 + 3 grouping, so we used it too. And to make your grouping stand out in this rainfall of 1/16 notes, accent the first note in each group, by turning its velocity up. Step 3 - BackbeatLastly, when you add your drums, remember to play them in 7/8 with a regular backbeat snare in most bars. And a regular backbeat snare in 7/8 is on the third and seventh 1/8 notes in the bar. This makes everything feel like it’s in that kinda rushed 4/4 vibe that we spoke about earlier. NEXT Right, now that you’ve got one section down, how do you write more sections for it, and then, how do you transition between those sections, and turn 'em into a song? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you’ll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to finish your songs! You’ll also gain access to our Private Network, which is a safe online space (i.e. social media platform) exclusively for our 500+ apprentices from 50+ countries.

This is our New Music Friday show, where we trawl through the new releases every week to find the hottest theory hacks for your weekend studio session! So, if that sounds useful to you, then please subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit the bell to get notifications. Alright, it’s time to open your DAW to hack music theory. GIVEAWAYWe’ve got a super special show for you today, as we’ve partnered with the mighty GetGood Drums for an exciting giveaway of their brand new drum library: Modern & Massive! And just for the record, this is not a sponsored video (we don’t do any sponsored content on our channel), we bought our copy of Modern & Massive, but because it’s literally the best drum kit sounds we’ve ever heard, we just had to share ‘em with you! And there’s an interesting story behind why we chose this video for the giveaway. Yes indeed, Dan Searle (the amazing Architects drummer) actually recorded his drums for the new album in the same studio that the Modern & Massive drum library was recorded in. And on top of that, the genius behind GetGood Drums, Adam “Nolly” Getgood, also engineered and mixed the new Architects album. So if you love Dan’s drum sound, you need this library! And if you don’t win in our giveaway, just buy a copy like we did, it’s so worth it. You can enter our giveaway by subscribing to our channel and to the GetGood Drums channel (over at YouTube.com/GetGoodDrums). Then, drop us a comment on the above video and tell us why you should win the Modern & Massive drum library. We’ve got two copies to give away, which means our favourite two comments will both win. So, make those answers really sincere, or really funny! We’ll announce the winners in next week’s video. THEORYRhythm is ancient and primal, as our ancestors were almost certainly banging on things long before they were blowing into bone flutes. Now, fast forward over 40,000 years, and the colossal opening riff of the new Architects single “Hereafter” has this same primal energy to it, because it would function just as well if it was played on one pitch. This makes it a "melodic rhythm", which is a musical concept whereby a memorable rhythm is usually composed first, then pitches are assigned to the notes afterwards. Examples of "melodic rhythms" range from Beethoven’s 5th symphony to Architects new single. The difference between a "melodic rhythm" and a melody, is that a "melodic rhythm" is still recognizable when its melody is removed, or when the pitches are all changed. And that’s exactly why our example in this video still sounds like the “Hereafter” riff, even though we’ve changed all the pitches. Step 1 - Pulse & BackbeatSet your grid to 4 bars of 4/4, at a tempo of 121 BPM. Now, we’re gonna start by giving your creation a heartbeat. So, hit a cymbal (we chose the china) on every 1/4 note beat. This is your beast’s pulse! Next, it’s snare time. And Architects drummer, Dan Searle, went with a super groovy halftime backbeat here, which is when you spank the snare on beat 3, instead of the regular beat 2 and beat 4. Step 2 - 16ths & VariationAh yeah, it’s kick time! So, we’re gonna get this party started with a bunch of 1/16 notes on the kick, for momentum, and throw a few on the snare too. And you only need to program 2 bars, cos then you just copy and paste ‘em into bars 3 and 4. Also, be sure to use syncopation, for maximum groove! Syncopation is when you play an off-beat, but not the on-beat just before it. And on one of your syncopated 1/8 note kicks, hit a crash as well, to really accent that off-beat. And for the ultimate syncopation, don’t play a kick on beat 1 of bar 2 and bar 4. Yeah this is such a sick trick from Dan, and it takes this groove to a whole new level! Then the final bit of Step 2 is to simply add one 1/16 note to bar 4, to give it some variation, so it rolls around to the beginning. Step 3 - TripletsSo many rhythms these days consist of straight notes only, which is fine, but sprinkling a few triplets into a rhythm that’s mainly straight notes, is just so tasty, as they’re totally unexpected! So, change your grid to 1/16 triplets, and get sprinkling. Don’t overdo it though, once per bar is plenty! Step 4 - MelodyLastly, now that your rhythm is pumping, it’s time to turn it into a "melodic rhythm". So copy and paste your kick and snare rhythm into a guitar, bass or synth track, and then extend all the notes to the right, so there’s no rests in between the notes. Next, move the notes up and down to create your melody. And if you’re going for something heavy like Architects, then use dissonant intervals, which are the intervals of 1 semitone, 3 semitones, 6 semitones, 8 semitones, 10 semitones, and 11 semitones. And with that, you’re done! THANKSLastly, thanks big time to everyone who made this video possible: Nolly, Matt, Misha, and our good chum Dez (who’s not only part of GetGood Drums, he’s also in one of our favourite bands: Good Tiger), and big thanks to our studio wizard Meyrick de la Fuente (from the band Exist Immortal) for mixing and mastering the example in this video, and last but definitely not least, thanks to the mighty Malcolm Shoolbraid (who’s the drummer from Thigma) for doing the playthrough. And by the way, Thigma’s debut album (which was produced by Ray), is coming out soon, so check out their link below, cos if you dig Architects, you’ll dig Thigma. Finally, please note that despite the live drummer in the playthrough video, all the drums you’re hearing are the programmed MIDI drums with 100% of the sounds coming from the Modern & Massive library, we just wanted a drummer in the playthrough, so all the non-drummers watching can see the pattern being played. NEXTSo, now that you’ve got one section down, how do you write a new section for it, and then, how do you transition between those two sections? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you’ll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to finish your songs! Also, please note that we intentionally wrote our example to be very similar to Architects, but we did that for the sake of this lesson. So, instead of copying Architects, please explore how you can use this hack creatively with your own musical personality, so it sounds like you! Alright, that’s it! We really hope this video has inspired and empowered you, and if it has, please drop us a comment on YouTube. We love hearing from you!

And for the ultimate syncopation, don’t play a kick on beat 1 of bar 2 and bar 4. Yeah this is such a sick trick from Dan, and it takes this groove to a whole new level! Then the final bit of Step 2 is to simply add one 1/16 note to bar 4, to give it some variation, so it rolls around to the beginning. Step 3 - TripletsSo many rhythms these days consist of straight notes only, which is fine, but sprinkling a few triplets into a rhythm that’s mainly straight notes, is just so tasty, as they’re totally unexpected! So, change your grid to 1/16 triplets, and get sprinkling. Don’t overdo it though, once per bar is plenty! Step 4 - MelodyLastly, now that your rhythm is pumping, it’s time to turn it into a "melodic rhythm". So copy and paste your kick and snare rhythm into a guitar, bass or synth track, and then extend all the notes to the right, so there’s no rests in between the notes. Next, move the notes up and down to create your melody. And if you’re going for something heavy like Architects, then use dissonant intervals, which are the intervals of 1 semitone, 3 semitones, 6 semitones, 8 semitones, 10 semitones, and 11 semitones. And with that, you’re done! THANKSLastly, thanks big time to everyone who made this video possible: Nolly, Matt, Misha, and our good chum Dez (who’s not only part of GetGood Drums, he’s also in one of our favourite bands: Good Tiger), and big thanks to our studio wizard Meyrick de la Fuente (from the band Exist Immortal) for mixing and mastering the example in this video, and last but definitely not least, thanks to the mighty Malcolm Shoolbraid (who’s the drummer from Thigma) for doing the playthrough. And by the way, Thigma’s debut album (which was produced by Ray), is coming out soon, so check out their link below, cos if you dig Architects, you’ll dig Thigma. Finally, please note that despite the live drummer in the playthrough video, all the drums you’re hearing are the programmed MIDI drums with 100% of the sounds coming from the Modern & Massive library, we just wanted a drummer in the playthrough, so all the non-drummers watching can see the pattern being played. NEXTSo, now that you’ve got one section down, how do you write a new section for it, and then, how do you transition between those two sections? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you’ll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to finish your songs! Also, please note that we intentionally wrote our example to be very similar to Architects, but we did that for the sake of this lesson. So, instead of copying Architects, please explore how you can use this hack creatively with your own musical personality, so it sounds like you! Alright, that’s it!

Learn what "melodic rhythms" are, and how you can use them to inject primal energy into your music, like Architects does in their new single “Hereafter” (from upcoming album "Holy Hell"). Hello revolutionaries, and welcome to the Hack Music Theory channel. This is our New Music Friday show, where we trawl through the new releases every week to find the hottest theory hacks for your weekend studio session! So, if that sounds useful to you, then please subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit the bell to get notifications. Alright, it's time to open your DAW to hack music theory. GIVEAWAYWe've got a super special show for you today, as we've partnered with the mighty GetGood Drums for an exciting giveaway of their brand new drum library: Modern & Massive! And just for the record, this is not a sponsored video (we don't do any sponsored content on our channel), we bought our copy of Modern & Massive, but because it's literally the best drum kit sounds we've ever heard, we just had to share ‘em with you! And there's an interesting story behind why we chose this video for the giveaway. Yes indeed, Dan Searle (the amazing Architects drummer) actually recorded his drums for the new album in the same studio that the Modern & Massive drum library was recorded in. And on top of that, the genius behind GetGood Drums, Adam “Nolly” Getgood, also engineered and mixed the new Architects album. So if you love Dan's drum sound, you need this library! And if you don't win in our giveaway, just buy a copy like we did, it's so worth it. You can enter our giveaway by subscribing to our channel and to the GetGood Drums channel (over at YouTube.com/GetGoodDrums). Then, drop us a comment on the above video and tell us why you should win the Modern & Massive drum library. We've got two copies to give away, which means our favourite two comments will both win. So, make those answers really sincere, or really funny! We'll announce the winners in next week's video. THEORYRhythm is ancient and primal, as our ancestors were almost certainly banging on things long before they were blowing into bone flutes. Now, fast forward over 40,000 years, and the colossal opening riff of the new Architects single “Hereafter” has this same primal energy to it, because it would function just as well if it was played on one pitch. This makes it a "melodic rhythm", which is a musical concept whereby a memorable rhythm is usually composed first, then pitches are assigned to the notes afterwards. Examples of "melodic rhythms" range from Beethoven's 5th symphony to Architects new single. The difference between a "melodic rhythm" and a melody, is that a "melodic rhythm" is still recognizable when its melody is removed, or when the pitches are all changed. And that's exactly why our example in this video still sounds like the “Hereafter” riff, even though we've changed all the pitches. Step 1 - Pulse & BackbeatSet your grid to 4 bars of 4/4, at a tempo of 121 BPM. Now, we're gonna start by giving your creation a heartbeat. So, hit a cymbal (we chose the china) on every 1/4 note beat. This is your beast's pulse! Next, it's snare time. And Architects drummer, Dan Searle, went with a super groovy halftime backbeat here, which is when you spank the snare on beat 3, instead of the regular beat 2 and beat 4. Step 2 - 16ths & VariationAh yeah, it's kick time! So, we're gonna get this party started with a bunch of 1/16 notes on the kick, for momentum, and throw a few on the snare too. And you only need to program 2 bars, cos then you just copy and paste ‘em into bars 3 and 4. Also, be sure to use syncopation, for maximum groove! Syncopation is when you play an off-beat, but not the on-beat just before it. And on one of your syncopated 1/8 note kicks, hit a crash as well, to really accent that off-beat. And for the ultimate syncopation, don't play a kick on beat 1 of bar 2 and bar 4. Yeah this is such a sick trick from Dan, and it takes this groove to a whole new level! Then the final bit of Step 2 is to simply add one 1/16 note to bar 4, to give it some variation, so it rolls around to the beginning. Step 3 - TripletsSo many rhythms these days consist of straight notes only, which is fine, but sprinkling a few triplets into a rhythm that's mainly straight notes, is just so tasty, as they're totally unexpected! So, change your grid to 1/16 triplets, and get sprinkling. Don't overdo it though, once per bar is plenty! Step 4 - MelodyLastly, now that your rhythm is pumping, it's time to turn it into a "melodic rhythm". So copy and paste your kick and snare rhythm into a guitar, bass or synth track, and then extend all the notes to the right, so there's no rests in between the notes. Next, move the notes up and down to create your melody. And if you're going for something heavy like Architects, then use dissonant intervals, which are the intervals of 1 semitone, 3 semitones, 6 semitones, 8 semitones, 10 semitones, and 11 semitones. And with that, you're done! THANKSLastly, thanks big time to everyone who made this video possible: Nolly, Matt, Misha, and our good chum Dez (who's not only part of GetGood Drums, he's also in one of our favourite bands: Good Tiger), and big thanks to our studio wizard Meyrick de la Fuente (from the band Exist Immortal) for mixing and mastering the example in this video, and last but definitely not least, thanks to the mighty Malcolm Shoolbraid (who's the drummer from Thigma) for doing the playthrough. And by the way, Thigma's debut album (which was produced by Ray), is coming out soon, so check out their link below, cos if you dig Architects, you'll dig Thigma. Finally, please note that despite the live drummer in the playthrough video, all the drums you're hearing are the programmed MIDI drums with 100% of the sounds coming from the Modern & Massive library, we just wanted a drummer in the playthrough, so all the non-drummers watching can see the pattern being played.

In this Episode, Justin hits the felt in an exclusive interview with "Worcester" Joe W. No topic is off limits - as they explore everything from narcotics, to near death experiences to marrying the same woman twice. Joe also gives his smokin' hot stock picks. Justin also continues to fellate the band Good Tiger by featuring them for the band of the week.
Yay, we have a threesome! If we were youtube clickbait, I'd have to call this METAL PODCAST PRANK (GONE SEXUAL). Anyway, this week we have Nick around again, and as we are often wont to do, we talk about industry shenanigans with him. Namely the Nielsen report on 2016 music sales, Tidal's new gimmick, some Facebook deathcore page scamming people, and then we go into some news. New music or whatever from Panopticon, Pyrrhon, Convulsing, Pallbearer, Good Tiger, and Wintersun (enjoy my rant on that). Also in our weekly Season of Mist worship, the One And All, Together, For Home album featuring Drudkh, Primordial, Winterfylleth and more. Then we talk about good double albums, what makes a live show good, and the shittiness of the notion of "female fronted" bands.
I speak with both Alex Rudinger of Good Tiger/ex-Faceless/ex-HAARP Machine and Mike Semesky of Raunchy/ex-Intervals/ex-HAARP Machine about their respective projects, their first bands, their work together in Ordinance, the new album The Ides of March, realty, and a lot more. I also recommend "Left To Rot" by Aberration. Facebook.com/farbeyondmetal - twitter @ovacord - FarBeyondMetalDan@Gmail.com

More music from Schammasch, Haken, Plebeian Grandstand, Be'lakor, Lacuna Coil, Gojira, DESPISED ICON and Toyomu, who remade Kanye's The Life of Pablo without hearing it! What else is there? Drama! Adult Swim are trolling Metalocalypse fans! Disillusion are back! Muse drones are crashing and burning! St. Vitus bar is being interviewed! Singer of The Story So Far kicks a fan off the stage! Sumerian and Basick are both 10 years old! We discuss the upcoming releases from Fallujah and First Fragment! There's even more! BALLS DEEP: August Burns Red! Then we talk about albums that we were late to the party on, including WRVTH, Good Tiger, Opeth and Rivers of Nihil! Excitement! We have a pretty extensive "cool people time" section as well!
