Episode 15: Five and Change "A Metallic KO without the Shirtless Septuagenarian"
Bleachmouth PostscriptShow Notes
"A Metallic KO without the Shirtless Septuagenarian" In the early 90’s Integrity’s “Those Who Fear Tomorrow” changed the face of hardcore – for better or worse. After that Lp there was a deluge of bands playing a type of hardcore that had less in common with punk and began playing metal with a hardcore aesthetic. Still, many people still called it “hardcore”. However, that’s not an indictment of the quality of the music. Some of these bands (not many) were quite good – regardless of what you called it. I talk about a few of the less heralded bands playing in this sandbox; Conviction, Darkside NYC, Starkweather, Bloodlet, Ironside, Splinter, Anguish, Cattlepress, Thoughts of Ionesco, Mayday and Turmoil.

"That's the name of the episode" I've wanted to do a deep dive on this specific record for a while, but held off for a variety of reasons. I'm definitely glad that I did because I had an awesome time dissecting this classic with Marc and Tim. I could have went with "We're Not in This Alone", but ultimately decided on the one that made me first fall in in love with Youth of Today's music.
"Nothings Gonna Change Because Your Prophets Shout" In the quest to upload all of the past episodes from the old feed to the new, due to the loss of a host, I've added this one to the current feed. At the time of this recording, it had been over a month since the prior episode was posted. Apparently, I just wanted to catch up with everyone in the interim, but ended up rambling on a little more than I intended. Things are still pretty rough out there, but this is a reminder that like The Impressions, we need to keep on pushing. Thanks for checking in, Larry (Original release date 6/5/2022)
"Lay Down Your Souls for the Gods Rock and Roll" RIP Cronos. I won't say too much more because there are much smarter folks that have said everything there is to say about Venom and their impact of extreme music, particularly metal. What I will say is that they rule. I loved them from the first time I heard "Rip Ride" on a janky mix tape given to me by a friend with a more than dubious reputation. Which only makes sense because what made Venom awesome was that they too were dubious. Dubious muscians with a dubious aesthetic, with (potentially-I've heard otherwise) dubious intentions. Venom rules, Cronos rules.
