Show Notes
This week, we reunite with our good friends and favorite riff-summoning adventurers, Howling Giant- the Nashville-based doom lords blending sludge, prog, psych, and sci-fi into some of the most mind-melting metal you'll ever hear. They're back on the show and ready to unleash their most massive and mind-bending record yet - available October 31st! With Frizz sipping a special-edition bottle of Woodford Reserve and Bob going full Kentucky Gentleman, we dive headfirst into Crucible and Ruin, an album that plays like a campaign through storm-forged planets, endless archives of worlds and legends, and battles waged with both scepters and scythes. We talk about their new dual guitar attack, cosmic world building, how their sound just keeps getting bigger, and why this October 31st release is going to shake the doom-metal cosmos. Strap in and roll for an exclusive first listen, while we confirm once and for all: yes, this album rips. And yes, your ass is grass.
