Were finally back after a long break! As usual, we jumped into all the newer stuff we've been listening to and then talked about the Decibel Magazine tour, & got a collection update from Stan. We finished off with an interview with Luca Indrio of Necrot about the new album Lifeless Birth. We got into all the issues the band had to go through between the last album and this one, carving there own identify in death metal, keeping there songs memorable, and at the end messed around with some band vs. band and album vs. album questions. It was a fun one!

For this one I was joined by two awesome people to talk REAL country music from a more metal perspective. For the first half of the episode I talked with my friend Jake Walters who is a long time listener, writer/editor for Lambgoat and writer for Everything is Noise to highlight some of the great newer country that you wont hear on the radio & for the 2nd half I was joined by Nate Garrett of Spirit Adrift to dive a little more into the classics (as well as some new stuff) and his overall journey with Country music. We also dove a bit into the awesome new Spirit Adrift album "Ghost at the Gallows"

I finally got the chance to speak with the bass god himself - Steve Digorgio before a show for Death to All. I stuck with the Death theme for this one so we went way back to how he met Chuck, how he was in and out of the band even from the early days, writing/recording Human & Individual Thought Patterns, his friendship with Chuck, what it was like working with Chuck near the end of his life, working on Control Denied, & even his experience working on the latest Megadeath album.

For episode 131 we did a discography ranking and discussion of one of our favorite bands - Immortal. There was only one way to do this properly and that was to tap into the grim and frostbitten spirit of Blashyrkh by adorning our faces with the war paint of old and channeling the Northern Chaos Gods. There was an ice storm across the country the day we recorded this and I think this was no coincidence.

After a short break were back with more Death! This time we're talking about Individual Thought Patterns & Symbolic and have interviews with Andy LaRoque and Gene Hoglan! Andy played on ITP and is the long time guitarist for King Diamond. Gene played on both ITP and Symbolic and had a ton of great stories and info about that period and Chuck so stay tuned for that at the end of the episode. Also, if you haven't, make sure to listen to the previous episodes in the Death series first since we recorded them all in one sitting and will probably make more sense.

Alright so Part 2 was originally going to be one long episode talking about Spiritual Healing and Human and then feature 3 interviews but when we realized how long it was we broke it into 2 shorter episodes after we recorded it. So think of it like part 1 of... part 2? Anyway, this one has us discussing and ranking Death's 3rd album Spiritual Healing as well as a new interview with Terry Butler who was with Death for the Leprosy and Spiritual Healing era and also played in Massacre, Six Feet Under, and Obituary. Then we finish off with a segment from older interview we did with James Murphy who played on Spiritual Healing and in the project Disincarnate.
Terry Butler Interview starts at: 21 minutes
James Murphy Interview starts at: 45 minutes
