Grey Temples 44 – A leather jacket filled with Werther’s Originals

Studies have shown that metalheads tend to be happier, calmer, and more intelligent than the average person. So, you’re welcome in advance.

This episode has more riffs than you can pack in your knapsack, and that’s a fact, Jack!

We start out as deep as you can get into Big Shiny Tunes territory as you can get, without actually being on Big Shiny Tunes. Salmonblaster bringing us a beloved tune with the most mid-90’s half speed breakdown you can get. If you were in a band in the 90s, you had a part in one of your songs just like this. Probably 3 or 4!

And we’re just getting started!

From there, we keep on turning up the rock until the rock-o-meter burns out. It’s kind of like this one time my speedometer in my old car stopped working and topped out at 70 km/h no matter how fast I went, and I couldn’t figure out why I was so scared going around every corner when I was still 10 under the speed limit.

And then we start the metal portion of the show.

We’ve got d-beat, we’ve got technical death metal, we’ve got grindcore (bolded for emphasis), we’ve got metallic hardcore, we’ve got metalcore, a touch of deathcore, we’ve got hardic metaldeath, we’ve got deathard quorum, et cetera, et cetera. The moral of the story is that it all sound essentially the same to 90% of people. Not me though! And hopefully not you.

Peace and love, peace and love,
Jon
