Interview by Kris PetersLike a wrecking ball let off the chain, recently formed Brisbane metal outfit Awaken The Hate are set to steamroll the local metal scene when they release their debut single Monster In The Mirror this Friday.Coming together with a wealth of experience already in the metal scene, Awaken The Hate aren't here to merely make up the numbers.They are here to lead the pack.As the band's bio so beautifully puts it, "Awaken The Hate draws inspiration from the darker realms of the human psyche, exploring themes of societal decay, existential dread, and the unspoken fury that simmers beneath the surface. Their lyrics reflect the collective discontent of a generation, while their sonic onslaught leaves no soul untouched."And while we all know how easy it is to simply talk the talk, anyone who has seen one of only a handful of live shows from Awaken The Hate will testify just how solid talk can be when you have the fortitude to back it up.The Monster In The Mirror threatens to be merely an opening salvo from a band who have been brought up the old-school metal way and now ply their craft in the same manner. Fresh, original, brutal and uncompromising, Awaken The Hate promise to be a breath of fresh air on the metal scene, and after spending some time speaking with guitarist Steve Conley and vocalist Ben Rogers recently that seems to be only a formality."We're all of that element where groove metal - the Pantera's and that sort of 90s stuff - was where our bread and butter was," Rogers began. "I think what we've really found with Awaken The Hate is trying to modernise that a bit. Music to me has got groove. It makes you wanna move, and I like to think that there's also the melodies and the vox there have got a bit of a hook to it that makes you wanna sing along. That was our goal. I wanna play in front of people that wanna sing songs back to us and bang their heads hard."In the full interview, Benno and Steve talk more about the debut single, what it's about, finding emotion and expression through honesty in lyrics, why they chose this particular song to introduce Awaken The Hate to the world, how accurately this song represents the future direction of the band, the importance of nailing live shows, upcoming gigs, future plans and more.

It has been argued that financial planning and financial advice could be split so that planning on its own could allow financial planners to focus on less wealthy and younger clients who are happy to DIY invest.Amy Austin, news editor at FTAdviser speaks to Steve Conley, founder of the Academy of Life Planning and Sam Tate, co-founder & director of New World Financial Group about the pros and cons of doing so. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

KEY TAKEAWAYS In the UK market there is a large problem with the advice gap, caused by the lack of trust in financial institutions. Surveys show that this image is changing slowly, but there is still work to do. Products are designed to manage wealth, run it, or reserve it, but no product can create It’s the client who creates wealth. We can aid them by creating a plan. It is here that we add the most value. The financial industry has, for the longest time, been designed around the industry taking a cut of your earnings, holding it, and returning what’s left at the end of your life. This system does not work. 95% of retirees have less than 100k when they retire. First we must plan goals and actions with our clients. Goals must affect each element of life including mind and body, heart and spirit. Action plans are project plans, looking at money and the financial architecture required in order to support the life plan. BEST MOMENTS ’There are no products that can create wealth' ‘It was an opportunity that was really missed by the banks’ ‘As a pure financial planner, you educate your clients so they make informed decisions’ ‘It’s a great social benefit from pure financial planning' VALUABLE RESOURCES Your Money Or Your Life by Steve Conley (Amazon) The Academy Of Life Planning - https://www.academyoflifeplanning.com/about-us/ Steve Conley LInkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenjamesconley/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE GUEST In essence, Steve, following a very successful career in the city wrote a book called Your Money or Your Life, worked as a Financial Adviser became disillusioned and broke, then set up the Academy of Life Planning.

Let's talk about Flotsam and Jetsam's 13th full length studio album from AFM Records, The End of Chaos. This 12 track assault from the current metal quintet is comprised of: Eric “AK” Knutson – vocals; Michael Gilbert – guitars; Steve Conley- guitars; Michael Spencer – bass; Ken Mary – drums. I review with my feelings which I often get ridiculed for, but like I give a shit. I'll feel what I want to feel and if you don't like it stick around those feelings will change. Your well thoughtout gems of intricate wisdom; fads or fickle; puhtato, potato… The 80s metal man in me feels 3 things about this album right off the bat… 1. This album fucking rocks! Its headbanging from start to finish. I don't detect a lot of pussy ballad music on it, which means the bullshit is left behind. The closest the album comes to a “power ballad” is their haunting rendition set upon the altar of the metal gods of personal pain, “Recover”. A serious misnomer, this song hits you in the good parts about an injury to the heart and mind so deep we may never recover…all done at about 120 beats a minute! (Hell yeah - take that Nightwish!) 2. Friends, if I heard this album in the 1983, when real metal was played and not artistically not artistically emoted swill (pause and vomit), I would have considered it, quote ”experimental”. Songs such as “Prepare For Chaos“, “Good Or Bad“, and my personal favorite “Demolition Man” were played so immensely and intensely that I'm sure “rajasthani folk musical instruments” all over the world were blowing up like a Samsung Smartphone roasting the ears of whoever had it next to their head. 3. The 3rd thing I noticed on this album is that the lyrics on this album are badass. They are dark and deep: addressing pain, heartache, insanity, disaster, despair, fantastical realms and general dark-heartedness. The point is, Flotsam and Jetsam on The End Of Chaos addresses the issues all good metalheads deal with in life. And yet, none of that mattered. The kick-ass lyrics are secondary to the kick-ass music that caused me to bang my head from start to finish. I experienced metal on a primal, neck traumatizing level, and this album meets all the criteria for such an album. One thing that surprisingly stood out on The End of Chaos, were the vocals of AK Nut-buster. (OK, if that's not his name, it oughta be!) Regardless of his name, dude can fucking wail. I kept thinking he sounds like some vocalist I love, which can be a very complimentary thing. He has a style you can't pin him down to, a rare thing in the industry. At times it sounded a little like Dio, at times Jeff Tate, and at other times it was a little like Dickenson. AK Knutout and the boys from Flotsam and Jetsam can kick ass. Gilbert and Conley grasp the concept of highly distorted, focused, bellicosic need that lies with true metal. Then, while Knutson and the guitar boys provide the spice of this meaty dish, Spencer and Mary lay down a basic rue of hard driving, hardwired metal that keeps The End Of Chaos righted on the perilous sea of Metal! If I'm pressed, the biggest recommendation I could find for The End Of Chaos is to encourage Flotsam and Jetsam to add some diversity to their general tone. They've mastered the “art” of Heavy Metal and it shows in every song, at times giving them an air of similitude in many of their songs. Don't be afraid to dumb it down; trust in the simplicity of the music and the brotherhood of the musicians and the audience. Branch out and branch down. Then lets swing on the vines as we headbang into unconsciousness. In conclusion, Flotsam and Jetsam's The End Of Chaos is a grab-you-by-the-balls and come along with them wherever they're going to take you endeavor. It's a gravel gargling, high distortion, speed…no thrash, metal riff and solos album, backed by an incredibly heart-pounding bass and drum hardline. I highly recommend Flotsam and Jetsam‘s The End Of Chaos through AFM Records with a rating of 8.5/10.

This week Derek talks with Steve Conley about his Kickstarter campaign The Middle Age, based on his Eisner Award-nominated webcomic and offering both enamel pins and print versions of his comic. Sean and Derek discussed The Middle Age on their webcomics series last year. It's an old-school and fun kind of adventure comic, a fantasy featuring a slightly older knight, Sir Quimp, who lost his love, his sword, and his job. And he is on a quest to win them all back, and "aiding" Sir Quimp on his quest is a talking sword, Maledicta, which hates him. Steve's Kickstarter campaign is centered on a limited edition enamel pin set based on the characters in his webcomic, as well as print editions of The Middle Age. It's part of Kickstarter's Make/100 initiative. This campaign ends on January 31, so don't miss out! Back this Kickstarter now! Check the reward levels!

On this week’s episode Sean catches up with returning guest, Steve Conley from the Boston Red Sox. Steve chats to Sean about making a career jump from tech to data. Full show notes

Before they do that, though, they have to determine exactly which titles are actually webcomics and which are not. If this sounds strange, that's because this year the people behind the Eisner Awards have separated "Best Digital Comics" and "Best Webcomic" into two completely different categories -- which is a good thing -- but in doing so they have ill-defined the criteria to where there are digital comics mixed in the "Best Webcomic" category and webcomics in the "Best Digital Comic" category. In other words, there doesn't seem to be any clear distinctions between the two...which was the problem in previous years when webcomics and digital comics were unfortunately clumped into the same category. Sean and Derek discuss in detail the problems underlying this year's categorization, and they offer advice for next year's judges and hope that in the future there will be a much more precise understanding of what a webcomic actually is. After that, they begin discussing the real webcomics that are scattered between the "Best Webcomic" and "Best Digital Comic" categories. There are five in all, and in this episode they discuss Steve Conley's The Middle Age and Christina Tran's On Beauty (both nominated for "Best Webcomic"), as well as Jahanzeb Hasan and Mauricio Caballero's Helm and Tillie Walden's On a Sunbeam (inexplicably nominated under "Best Digital Comic"). Anne Szabla's Bird Boy was also nominated as a webcomic, but since the guys discussed that title on a previous webcomics episode, they spend their time talking about the other nominees. And as the guys reveal, there is a reason why these four titles are nominated for an Eisner Award this year. They're all well-written, keenly drawn, and ambitious in what each endeavors to accomplish. Both Sean and Derek wish this year's webcomics creators, despite the appropriateness of the categories for which they're nominated, the best of luck when the announcements are made at next month's SDCC!

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections. However, Derek and Andy resist the urge to play armchair quarterbacks, so they don't second-guess the six-member panel of judges or focus on what they would have chosen if they had been on the selection committee. As diligent comics scholars, they judicial and discerning in their commentary.
