Blood, first released in 1997 by Monolith Studios, was the middle child of the big three Build Engine games, sandwiched in between Duke 3D and Shadow Warrior.  Its combination of gory horror-inspired visuals combined with action filled FPS gameplay was a huge hit at the time of release, but has slowly faded in many people's memories.  Both Quake and Half Life loom larger in most people's memories than Blood, and the question must be asked: why?Is there a good reason that Blood has become one of the dark horses of the boomer FPS genre, known mainly to connoisseurs of the genre?  Or has the quality of 2.5D shooters been massively overstated?On this episode, we discuss:WeaponsBlood has a quirky roster of weapons, including a flare gun as pistol, an aerosol can with a lighter, and a voodoo doll sniper.  Are these weapons just silly gimmicks, or do they all serve their purpose as part of your arsenal?Level DesignBloods level design is, for the most part, compact and filled with secrets joining levels together.  Does this create a coherent sense of place, or does the abundance of tunnels just turn the level into an awkward mess?Aesthetics and PresentationBlood's story is very barebones, but is filled to the brim with references to 80s and early 90s horror films.  Can a reverence for a genre of film carry an aesthetic, or is this just a case of Borderlands syndrome where its all references and no substance?We answer these questions and many more on the 113th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherBlood OST: Daniel Bernstein, Guy Whitmore Retro Hangover Duke 3D podcast featuring Pat! Does Blood truly have the best shotgun in any video game?  Are there any boomer shooters which you think are better than Blood?  What modern game best captures what Blood is all about?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!To support the show monetarily, check out our Buy me a Coffee Page!

Legend... it's a word that gets played out, overused, and misappropriated all the time. It also completely applies to my guest today, the most lovely chap, Tony Maddocks.Tony once fronted the mid 90's apex predators, Above All, and then the band mysteriously disappeared. When the dust settled 26 years later, I got an email asking if I'd be interested in talking to Tony about a new Above All EP, out now on all major platforms.Of course I said yes, and the rest is history. Our conversation today was light on my end and heavy on stories from Tony himself and if you're watching this on video, you're pretty going to see me smile for 60 minutes, because well.... I'm talking to a legend.This is my chat with the great frontman and founding father of metallic hardcore... at least the way I know it. This is Tony Maddocks. This is Above All and this is Rockstar Superhero.--------Time Codes:1:30 Expectations and reunion shows5:00 The experiences of being in a long serving band9:00 Shock to the system12:50 Being reasonably serious about music16:50 Coming from Grindcore20:40 The list of influences in hardcore25:10 Everything is different now29:40 When it doesn't really work out33:30 Touring with Fear Factory37:45 When nobody knows your name42:00 New songs coming for the future45:15 The sounds are progressing45:40 Metallic sounds these days49:40 Refining the sound of Above All54:00 If it happens or if it doesn't--------Tony Maddocks - VocalsBen Doyle - GuitarHallam Foster - BassJay Rowe - GuitarWebsite: https://aboveall01702.bandcamp.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AboveAll01702Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aboveall01702Above all slammed onto the scene in the '90s quickly gaining a reputation for their brutal live shows which saw them share the stage with the likes of Life Of Agony, Madball, Earth Crisis, Korn and Fear Factory. After releasing their critically acclaimed debut album to Roadrunner Records the band decided to call it a day.Disarm The Gods, their first full body of work since the 1990's, produced and mixed by Charlie Wilson at Monolith Studios, showcases the band's unmistakeable blend of intense hardcore, heavy breakdowns and metallic riffage.--------------Subscribe to both shows here: https://bit.ly/3airCvhWanna be on the show?

Chris Themelco is the front man for Orpheus Omega and runs Monolith Studios in Melbourne. Chris has contributed largely to the sound of Melbourne metal over the past several years not only through his own band but producing albums for bands such as Harlott, In Malice's Wake, Espionage, Hollow, Trigger and more. Only a few years into running his own studio, Chris has built a demand that is expanding beyond the realms of local metal scene. When it comes to the band, Orpheus Omega have capped off their 10th year in 2018 with a successful tour with Psycroptic and also signing to EVP Recordings. This has set the band up nicely for the upcoming album in the new year, which is a long time coming from the 2015 follow up of Partum Vita Mortem. Chatting to Chris, I discover that the gap between albums was a necessity as the band needed to re-calibrated and renewed themselves after near burn out. Chris reflects on what happened after the last album came out and why it was crucial to take some time out and invest in themselves individually so that the band could continue. With adversity being no stranger to the band, there appears to be a revitalised energy that has come from all of the ups and downs that will thrust Orpheus Omega back into the spotlight in 2019. Lot's of great topics covered in this episode from mental health and self development to band dynamics, launching his studio and heaps more. Music fans but specifically musicians should enjoy and be able to identify with this one. To check out more from Chris, Orpheus Omega and Monolith Studios, check out the links below.

For Asif Rashid Khan, his love affair with photography began at age 14 when his father handed him a 35mm film camera. He never stopped photographing. Even taking a detour to get a degree and work in finance didn’t sway him from realizing his dream to make a career in photography happen. He eventually took the plunge to work full time as a photographer. He’s now a partner in a multi-national visual production studio.

A Veteran of the gaming industry, Chris spent many years at Monolith Studios and Bungie working on iconic games and characters, and serving as head of Character Design at Bungie. In 2014 he took the leap with 2 friends and started Polyarc, the makers of the amazingly beautiful and critically acclaimed PSVR game Moss.

So, sit back and enjoy! Oh, AND BUY MOSS ON PSVR!!!! You'll thank us for it!
