We love music. And we're buds. And we're so very trve. We're EARBVDS! In Earbuds, we review and talk about music (mostly metal). Old stuff. Recent stuff. Stuff that made us the passionate musicians and metal aficionados that we are today. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we disagree. Sometimes we tear each other apart. But we'll always have fun along the way. There might also be guests. Who knows? This is the beginning of a journey... Want to be our Earbud?

    Breakdowns und Gefutschel w/Aaron (THE FALS)

    Goodness gracious, great balls of fire, is this a sauna or what? That big ol’ blazing ball in the sky seems downright determined to slow-roast every last one of us. So, what’s a sensible metalhead supposed to do? Why, let us tell you, and let us tell you good: Hole up in the darkest room in the house, yank them blinds shut tighter than an emo’s skinny jeans, pour yourself some ice-cold lemonade, and settle in for two-and-a half hours of pure, unadulterated nerd-metal glory. Join us, as one of our most seriously-metal guests returns for a serial instalment, honoring us with his presence for a second time: the not at all hungover wild child spirit of metal, Aaron, from Saarland’s one and only heavy black metal vanguards @The Fals. After some sunblocking sweet-talk with our guest about his band’s brand-new, pipin’-hot new album Where Cold Steel Gleams, we discuss another eclectic selection of fresh tunes, including the recent releases by Grotesque and Grandeur – To Wither, To Become ( 00:43:15), Kaatayra – Caminhos de Água (00:53:00), Midwinter – A Love I Hope Will Haunt Me Forever (01:08:36), Periphery – A Pale White Dot (01:22:30), as well as Spell – Wretched Heart (01:32:10). As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we return to our respective classic metal cribs, as we are looking for “the best album from the year we were born”. So, dust off your battle  jackets and iron your vintage vests, as we treat you and ourselves to some of the finest 80s and 90s metal albums, including the iconic Slayer – Reign in Blood (01:41:30), Bathory – Blood Fire Death (01:52:34), Bolt Thrower – Realm of Chaos (02:01:38), Machine Head – Burn My Eyes (02:11:44), and, last but not least, Symphony X – The Divine Wings of Tragedy (02:17:30). One more thing, as usual: we’re on Discord! Come join the cult! We would love for you to join the Earbvds family and talk music with us. Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.

    Sex mit Biberleichen w/Nina & Yannick (HERR MARIE)

    Heaven, Lord Mary … some things just don’t translate properly. Anyways, we’re finally back with a new episode, and this time we’re rocking with the punks for (a) change … pun intended. So, polish your piercings, re-grease your mohawks, and open a can of your finest – which is to say, cheapest – off-brand lager for this celebratory re-sealing of an ancient covenant. Join us, as punks and metalheads become unified once more, and simply meet as bvds. For this, we welcome in our midst two gloriously (hey ho, let’s) go-getting individuals: the diversely haired, incredibly talented, uniquely voiced and inspiringly vocal Yannick and Nina of Saarland’s finest punk rocking outfit, Herr Marie. After some unprotected kickflippin’ down the half-pipes of memory, we discuss another eclectic selection of fresh tunes, including the recent releases by Doodseskader – The Change is Me (00:43:54), Gaerea – Loss (00:58:24), Angine de Poitrine – Vol. II (01:12:38), Mallavora – What If Better Never Comes? (01:31:23), as well as The Casualties – Detonate (01:40:10). As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we double-down on double trouble, as we are looking for “the best album by a band with only two members”. So, dismiss your horn section and pair your headphones for this detonation of duplex dynamite, as we blow each other up over the explosive releases by Satyricon – Now, Diabolical (01:51:07), We Butter The Bread With Butter – Das Monster Aus Dem Schrank (01:58:50), Now, Now Every Children – Cars (02:07:38), Bionic Ghost Kids – Horrorshow (02:12:11), and last but obviously not least, Pound - ●● (02:19:52). One more thing, as usual: we’re on Discord! Come join the cult! We would love for you to join the Earbvds family and talk music with us! Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.

    Sauté me skin-side and call me a goose: it’s time for another one already!

Voila! Join us, as we effortlessly shift from quakes to quacks with our amazing guests, who are as belly-achingly funny as they are musically gifted: the goose bumpin’, comebackin’, riff-salad-dressin’ Lars and Agent of Saarland’s weedliest metalcore outfit UNDER FALSE COLORS. After some rendez-vousin’ with our good friends about their latest hors d’oeuvre – the fantastically heavy new EP Zero H.O.M.E. – we discuss another eclectic selection of fresh tunes, including the recent releases by Atlas – Sunder (00:33:55), Fjørt – belle époque (00:45:18), Blanket – True Blue (00:58:16), ERRA – silence outlives the earth (01:07:53), as well as Rosa Faenskap – Ingenting Forblir (01:23:45).

So, dust off your berets, grease your mustaches, butter your baguettes, and join us as we saunter along the boulevard of deep cuts and déjà-vus to the exquisite tunes of Birds in Row – Gris Klein (01:38:27), Uneven Structure – Februus (01:45:03), Adagio – Underworld (01:51:00), and last but obviously not least, Gojira – Magma (01:57:31).

Yes, we’re doubling down on harkening our hardcore heritage! So, join us for an inspiring, snapbackin’, street-creddin’, anger-managin’ blast of an episode with the one and only Chris of Saarland’s OG hardcore unit Additional Time.

    Earbvm of the Year 2025

    Blizzards couldn’t stop us. (Minor) car crashes couldn’t stop us. Failing public transport couldn't sop us. Not even sleepy B❤️ could stop us. Three weeks have passed since we recorded this one, and yet we still cannot wipe the smiles off our faces. What wonderful bvds you all are! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our first Earbvds-Live-Show. Y'all truly made this a very special episode that we will never forget! We love you! For those of you who couldn’t be with us on that fateful, soul cold night in early January – or for those of you who are keen to hear if their funny heckle made the episode – , tune in as we look back at what a fantastic year 2025 has been for heavy music – and some other outrageously fringe genres ... Witness maggots morph into moths, as we gather once more for our annual ritual to find the one trve album that might unite all bvds, as we move with unperturbed determination through a whopping total of 148 (!!!) albums – never enough music –, in the desperate hope that this year’s undisputed EARBVM of the year will heal the gaping wounds of 2024 – never forget. No detailed show notes this time, because, obviously, no spoilers, duh. One more thing, as usual: We’re on Discord now! Come join the cult! We would love for you to join the Earbvds family and talk music with us! Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.

    Guns n'Furchtbar! w/Ben (DISLOCATE)

    Awwwright, bvds, open this f****n’ pod up. Side to f****n’ side. Front to f****n’ back. We’re back with another no-nonsense episode, replete with two-stepping tantrums, windmilling witticisms, and some crowd-killing conversation. Once again, we’re joined by a fantastic guest for some insightful banter ‘bout bvds, beers, breakdowns, and bandanas: the rhyme spitting, mosh-pitting, incredibly credible Ben from Saarland's very own hate-breeding hardcore powerhouse DISLOCATE . Pump up your sneakers and put on your favorite pair of mosh shorts: This one hits harder than the streets of Saarbrooklyn! After some deep talk with our guest, we discuss another eclectic selection of new tunes, including the recent releases by Vower – A Storm Lined with Silver (00:26:01), Biohazard – Divided We Fall (00:36:55), Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Vol. II (00:43:23), Pupil Slicer – Fleshwork (01:12:16), Conjurer – Unself (01:23:23), and Florence + The Machine – Everybody Scream (01:33:55). As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we are looking for “the best album of the 90s”. Strap on your inline skates, replenish your Walkman with fresh batteries, and take a stroll down nostalgia lane with us, as we embrace and celebrate a decade worth of (mostly) fantastic heavy music, including Judas Priest – Painkiller (01:51:36), Guns n’Roses – Use Your Illusions II (01:56:20), Pantera – Vulgar Display of Power (02:03:38), Emperor – In the Nightside Eclipse (02:08:57), Converge – When Forever Comes Crashing (02:17:33), as well as Poison the Well – The Opposite of December … A Season of Separation (02:27:17).

    Error 404 - Metal not found ... w/Ronja (@whoiskatharina)

    Say cheese, bvds – because this week, we’re back with another R-rated episode – R stands for r-chitect, obviously – full of refreshing opinions, rambunctious anecdotes, and ridiculous analogies. Once again, we’re joined by a fantastic guest, the amazingly talented and enigmatically handled Ronja (@whoiskatharina), Saarland’s stealthiest scene sharpshooter, capturing riffs, sweat, and occasional existential crises through her ever-watchful lens. R you ready to rumble? Hold still, as we pose for the ultimate metal centerfold. After we give our guest’s flashing endeavors sufficient exposure, we turn negatives into positives, as we discuss another eclectic selection of new tunes, including the recent releases by vianova – Hit it! (00:25:15), Greyhaven – Keep it Quiet (00:46:15), Thrice – Horizons/West (00:53:45), Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound (01:07:13), Igorrr – Amen (01:21:33), and Der Weg Einer Freiheit – Innern (01:34:05). As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we are looking for our respective “least favorite album by one of our favorite bands”. Trick or treat yourselves to some preposterous polemics and surprising twists and turns, as we shake up feelings like freshly developed polaroids about In Flames – Siren Charms (01:47:15), Job For A Cowboy – Sun Eater (01:55:42), Protest the Hero – Pacific Myth (02:03:46), Hundredth – RARE (02:11:14), as well as While She Sleeps – SO WHAT? (02:20:37). As always, we're happy to provide a Spotify-playlist to complement this episode for your convenience. ⁠Check it out⁠! One more thing, as usual: We’re on Discord now! Come join the cult!

    Alt und bitter macht's, dem Tod zu dienen ... w/Chris (GEISTERFAUST, WALKING GHOSTPHASE, POISONED SPEED, PESTILENT PISS)

    From the gloomy shadows emerges a spectral figure, walking ghostly to the sound of creaking strings, aching joints, and shredding riffs. He has clenched his phantasmal fist to worship the One who bestowed upon him the gifts of venomous velocity, and who has punished him with frequent and foul-smelling urination. Don’t know who we’re talking about? Well, he’s a tough guy, likes it really rough guy, just can’t get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy. Still don’t know? He’s that bad type, make your mama sad type, make your girlfriend mad type, might seduce your dad type. Still don’t know? Well, our ghastly guest goes by many names, but whether he guises himself as Billie or Fuchtel, you shall know him as Greilich. Duh! Or Chris. Chris is also fine. Join us as we open our cellar doors for one of Saarland’s most prolific and talented musicians, our most humble and gentle guest: Chris of GEISTERFAUST, WALKING GHOSTPHASE, POISONED SPEED, and PESTILENT PISS – just to name a few of his projects. After a deep dive into our guest’s globetrotting ventures, we discuss another eclectic selection of new tunes, including the recent releases by Fit For A King – Lonely God (00:26:48), Blackbraid – Blackbraid III (00:39:44), Phosphorus – Frail Grasp of Broken Hands (00:52:25), Deftones – private music (01:02:05), and Malevich – Under A Gilded Sun (01:12:21). As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we are looking for the “best heartache/lovesick album”. Grab yourselves some tissues and a bucketful of ice cream, as we unravel some big feelings to the soundtrack of Dornenreich – Bitter Ists Dem Tod Zu Dienen (01:24:53), Maybeshewill – Sing the Word Hope In Four Part Harmony (01:32:25), Team Me – Blind As Night (01:41:18), I Prevail – Heart Vs. Mind (01:49:45), and Biffy Clyro – A Celebration of Endings (02:03:37). As always, we're happy to provide a Spotify-playlist to complement this episode for your convenience. ⁠Check it out⁠! Big shout-out to our good friend Timon of SEPARATØR for two fantastic new tunes to spice up our conversation! One more thing, as usual: We’re on Discord now! Come join the cult!
