    The HardLore Chaos Bracket (This Is Your Fault)

    Let the chaos begin... In March of this year, Bo and I had an idea to let the viewers decide on our next bracket episode (since you're never happy with the bands we pick) and this was the result. The top 64 bands, as voted by YOU! Every matchup was random in our first ever truly unpredictable live tournament challenge. I'm joined by Joey Chiaramonte from Koyo, alongside Alec Faber & Taylor Young from Twitching Tongues/God's Hate to determine a winner in real time in our first ever in-person bracket episode. __________ HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.

    CEREMONY: Never the Same Band Twice (With Ross Farrar & Anthony Anzaldo)

    This week we're joined by vocalist Ross Farrar & guitarist Anthony Anzaldo of the great CEREMONY... From childhood friends to lifelong bandmates, we learn all about their individual introductions to punk and hardcore music and how that eventually lead to the fateful formation of now legendary bay area hardcore band, Ceremony. From the aggressive hardcore origins of their demo, first 7", and first 2 LPs, to their first big evolution and breakout Rohnert Park, all the way to their newest (and possibly best) album Tell Me Your Dream, we discuss everything in between, and the many "Gauntlets" in between that got us here. A thoroughly fun, fascinating inside look at what is truly one of the defining underground bands of the last 20+ years.

    SAMMY SIEGLER: JUDGE, Youth of Today, Side By Side & ...Limp Bizkit?

    This is easily one of the best conversations to ever happen on this show. We stopped by Trust Records HQ for this incredible chat the great Sammy Siegler, one of hardcore's most prolific drummers to ever grace the throne. We dive into Sammy's origin as the Godfather of Open Handed Lefty drummers in hardcore, his brief stint in Gorilla Biscuits, joining Side By Side at 11-12 years old, the Project X 7", joining Youth of Today as a longtime fan of the band, ALL things Judge, Chung King and Bringin' It Down and his later work in CIV, Rival Schools, Glassjaw and somehow Limp Bizkit of all things. We're appropriately joined by my main man Mike Cesario of Twitching Tongues, Disgrace, Pity Sex, Forced Order and more to round out this mini panel of unique drummers. Thanks to Sammy for joining us and sharing so much lore about so many great bands and records.

    ANDY WILLIAMS: Every Time I Die, AEW, & The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling (4K Re-Upload)

    Rest in peace to the universally beloved Andy "The Butcher" Williams of Every Time I Die, Atomic Rule and All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to leading by example, Andy was THE ultimate example to follow from the moment you met him. A beacon of kindness, the benchmark of cool, and an unbreakable pillar of love and support to everyone in his life. To know Andy was to love Andy, but more importantly, to know Andy was to feel loved by Andy. Andy was our second ever guest on HardLore, and technically our 3rd ever recorded episode. In his honor, we've upscaled this original episode to 4K to preserve this important conversation in the highest possible quality. We will love and miss Andy forever and I can't wait to hear the band that he and Bo will surely be working on. Goodbye my friend. Originally aired May 11th, 2022: "Colin and Bo welcome Andy Williams to the show to recount some of his favorite tour stories, from his early days touring with Buried Alive, his long tenure with Every Time I Die, and how he went on to be able to balance his music career with wrestling full time for AEW as half of The Butcher and The Blade." __________ 00:00:00 - Remembering Andy Williams 00:05:29 - 10 Bell Salute 00:05:58 - HardLore Episode 4: Andy Williams 00:07:01 - The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling 00:11:53 - What Set Andy on a New Path 00:17:13 - Andy & Buried Alive 00:22:54 - Andy's Music Taste Refining 00:30:08 - Andy Asks the Worst Places We've Stayed On Tour 00:35:22 - ETID's 1 Star Hotel Gimmick 00:39:19 - Andy Tour Stories 00:48:04 - Balancing AEW & ETID 00:52:32 - Andy Loves Little Gear Now, Tour Stories Cont. 00:58:29 - Wrestlers and Their Musical Interests 01:03:27 - Wrestling Is Songwriting 01:11:16 - ETID Setting the Example For Touring Bands 01:16:45 - Andy on the End of ETID

    ARTHUR RIZK: Master of Extreme Music Production (War Hungry, Sumerlands, Eternal Champion)

    We're joined by Pennsylvania's own ARTHUR RIZK! Longtime friend of the show and expert producer/engineer of all things extreme. Before discussing his work with bands like Blood Incantation, Power Trip, the Cavaleras, Cro-Mags, Kreator (and so many more)... We discuss Arthur's background as the once reluctant guitar player of legendary PA Hardcore band WAR HUNGRY, which lead to him finding his footing in the hardcore community in the early oughts as a young metalhead. These days Arthur is juggling his time as a musician between COLD WORLD, ETERNAL CHAMPION and SUMERLANDS when he's not manning the board for metal's biggest bands. We're also joined once again by guest co-host and another modern great in extreme music engineering, our very own Taylor Young. This is a fascinating deep dive into the world of hardcore, metal & punk production with two of the greatest minds currently doing it.

    GOD'S HATE: Won't Be Disgraced Deep Dive W/ Anna Zanes

    For the very first time on HardLore, the interviewer becomes the interviewee… Myself, Brody King and Taylor Young of GOD’S HATE sit down with Anna Zanes, who up until just days ago was the editor in chief of Alternative Press, to deep dive into the development and intention of our brand new 12” EP, WON’T BE DISGRACED. In our own words… Won’t Be Disgraced is a dense, urgent collection of 3 songs driven by grief and the state of the greater hardcore community and beyond.Your mind can be your most powerful tool or a weapon used against you in your darkest moments, and the only guaranteed way to fail yourself and your loved ones is to quit. As the world continues to be destroyed from within by greed, religious extremism, and 24 hour news cycles of division and violations of human rights… It has never been more apparent that all we have is each other. Use your hate to make a change. Don’t be disgraced. Dedicated to Bohan Daniel Lueders.
