Send us a textKansas City-based post-metal duo Idle Heirs, featuring Coalesce frontman Sean Ingram and producer/musician Josh Barber, have announced the release of their debut album, Life Is Violence, dropping April 11th, 2025. The album will be celebrated with a record release show the same evening at Warehouse on Broadway in Kansas City, MO, alongside metal heavyweights Norma Jean.Born from necessity and personal upheaval, Life Is Violence is a searing, emotionally charged collection of eight tracks written and recorded in complete creative isolation at Ocean Sound Studio in Norway. The collaboration between Ingram and Barber—longtime friends and kindred spirits—came to fruition after years of false starts, catalyzed by Barber's self-imposed writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by storms and solitude, he created the sonic foundation for what would become Idle Heirs.The band recently appeared on The Vulgar Display of Podcast, part of The Barn Podcast Network, in which Ingram and Barber discussed their intense creative process, the album's introspective themes of grief, generational trauma, and paternal legacy, and why they originally never intended for these songs to be shared publicly.Singles like Dead Ringer and Pillow Talk give a glimpse into the band's dynamic range—melding haunting atmosphere, crushing weight, and a raw vocal performance that sees Ingram pushing into new territory far beyond his hardcore roots.With Life Is Violence, Idle Heirs offer more than an album—they deliver a moment of vulnerability and defiance, shaped by isolation, purpose, and love.Catch Idle Heirs live on April 11 at Warehouse on Broadway for their official album release show.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie CRUSH THE RATS - Convulsound Studio à 00:30:00 Gérer le son live pour des Benighted, Celeste ou Destinity, a dû donner l'envie à Thibault Bernard de rebrancher la guitare. L'ingénieur son, à qui l'on doit des productions d'albums de Kamizol-K ou Deathawaits, pour ne citer qu'eux, présente désormais son propre projet. CRUSH THE RATS est un condensé de violence qui puise principalement dans le grindcore, mais aussi le brutal death, la noise et le black metal. Ce premier EP Don't montre la couleur, en seulement seize minutes et très peu de secondes de respiration. Nous profitons de ce premier méfait pour discuter avec le musicien et l'ingé son sur l'ensemble de ses activités ! En première partie d'émission, nous évoquerons le deuxième album de CROSS BRINGER, formation avec des membres de PREDATORY VOID, REKA et HOARI. Nous allons aussi du côté de la Belgique avec RÄUM qui présente Emperor of the Sun paru chez Les Acteurs De L'Ombre Productions. Les britanniques d'ABDUCTION viennent aussi de sortir leur cinquième méfait, Existentialismus. Ils sont également au programme de notre macabre cérémonie…

Folgt uns auch bei Instagram, Threads, Facebook und Mastodons! Wir sind @heldenstadt ! Das muss man sich erstmal trauen: Wochenlang hat ein Fake-Doktor in Leipzig ahnungslose Patientinnen und Patienten behandelt, und das auch noch mit der Unterstützung von Papa und Stiefmama. Aber keine Sorge, wir, eure Hosts Daniel Heinze und Guido Corleone, sind nicht auf diesen Quacksalber reingefallen und können Euch von dem Skandal erzählen - in der neuen Folge von HELDENSTADT, dem Leipziger Wohnzimmerpodcast der LVZ! Wir gehen wieder den wirklich wichtigen Fragen in Leipzig auf den Grund: Was passiert eigentlich mit den Fischen im Schwanenteich an der Oper, während die da alles sanieren? Und was kann der neue Hubschrauber von der sächsischen Polizei? Ach ja, und wo finde ich einen Miet-Weihnachtsmann für Heiligabend? Nebenbei erzählt Guido von seinen Erfahrungen als Weihnachtsmann-Darsteller und Daniel hat ein paar Kindheits-Traumata in Bezug auf Santa. Auch die Arbeit des Stadtrats ist Thema: Bleiben jetzt wirklich vier Autospuren an der Prager Straße zwischen Tabaksmühle und Friedhofsgärtnerei? Was machen die neuen Mehrheitsverhältnisse mit der Leipziger Kommunalpolitik? Und natürlich haben wir auch jede Menge Veranstaltungstipps für euch! Es ist richtig viel los: Lichtspiele des Westens auf der Karl-Heine-Straße! Wintermarkt der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst! Vegan Winter Festival in den Pittlerwerken! Post-Metal von Sólstafir im Täubchenthal! Indie-Pop von Paul Weber in der Kulturlounge! Und danach wird's dank Reddit auch noch gruselig – was tun, wenn nachts das Klingeln an der Tür für Gänsehaut sorgt? Eine gute halbe Stunde Premium-Leipzig-Content zum Hören für den Weg zur Arbeit, zur Uni oder auf den Weihnachtsmarkt. Viel Spaß mit der Dampfnudel unter den Leipzig-Podcasts: „HELDENSTADT. Der LVZ-Podcast aus Leipzig mit Daniel Heinze und Guido Corleone“, Episode vom 2. Dezember 2024.

Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper and Mark Radulich present their Alcest Les Chants de l Aurore Metal Album Review as part of the MHOD Jukebox!Les Chants de l'Aurore (transl. The Songs of Dawn) is the seventh studio album by French post-black metal band Alcest, released on 21 June 2024 by Nuclear Blast.Alcest is a French post-black metal band from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, founded and led by Neige (Stéphane Paut). It began in 2000 as a black metal solo project by Neige, then became a trio, but members Aegnor and Argoth left the band following the 2001 release of their first demo, leaving Neige as the sole member. Neige began incorporating elements of shoegaze and post-metal into the project's sound from 2005 onwards and is largely credited with pioneering the fusion genre known as blackgaze. In 2009, drummer Winterhalter from Les Discrets joined Alcest, after eight years with Neige as its sole full-time member.Since its creation, Alcest has released seven studio albums and a number of EPs and split releases. Their fourth album, 2014's Shelter, marked a dramatic shift towards a distinctly shoegaze sound, while their subsequent album Kodama (2016) marked a return to their earlier blackgaze sound. The band are widely credited with pioneering the blackgaze/post-black metal genre, particularly with their 2005 EP Le secret.All of that plus video reviews of ALCEST - Protection, LORDI - Dead Again Jayne, ALCEST - Flamme Jumelle and GWAR cover "I'm Just Ken".Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
