    Bow Down

    On this episode, Ryan (@galacticdad) and I recorded something after six weeks of planning off of the speakers of his laptop because we both have brain damage. We attempt some historical revisionism and try to act like deathcore is a real genre, mostly succeeding in my opinion. You be the judge. My choices for the precedents of deathcore: Damonacy (1991) Internal Bleeding - Voracious Contempt (1995) Suffocation - Pierced From Within (1995) Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline (1998) Despised Icon - The Healing Process (2005) Antagony - Rebirth (2005) Job for a Cowboy - Doom (2005) Ryan's choices for modern deathcore: The Faceless - Akeldama (2006) Born of Osiris - The New Reign (2007) Veil of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse (2008) Oceano - Depths (2009) Whitechapel - A New Era of Corruption (2010) Hosted on Acast.

    An Ode to Death

    The return of Jon aka @AnalGender sees us taking a look at the incredible career Chuck Schuldiner and his seminal band Death. We do a breakdown of what made them so special, what each album brings to the table, and the ways in which Lil Yachty and Coldplay can be mentioned on a heavy metal podcast. Join in the conversation at @LakeDragging and most importantly, go listen to Death to gain a greater appreciation for extreme metal and all the myriad ways that Chuck is the godfather of whatever genre you like.

    Hey John, What's Your Podcast Again?

    This week's guest, Manny (@allstarbatmanny), goes into detail about albums that brought him closer to comfort with his emotions and internal strife. I take him on a journey through ETID's discography after taking my own deep dive over the last two episodes and we get into the following albums that he identified as instrumental to his development and the development of metalcore in the much-maligned Hot Topic days: The Artist In The Ambulance - Thrice O God, The Aftermath - Norma Jean Vol. 3 - Slipknot Creature - Within The Ruins Plagues - The Devil Wears Prada Hosted on Acast.

    The Podcaster Who Sold The World

    My dear friend and musical guru Greg joins the show to talk about some classic rock, the British invasion, and how cool it was that David Bowie covered a Nirvana song. We talked about the essentials from last week's episode and some instructive cuts that laid the groundwork thematically, culturally, and sonically for heavy metal. We use the word "theatricality" a lot. Greg's picks for this show: The Man Who Sold The World - David BowieWheels of Fire - CreamQueen IIHit me up at @LakeDragging on twitter and introduce yourself to Greg at @gjrussoltd! Hosted on Acast.

    Rime of the Ancient Podcaster

    I check out some essential albums of the early 80's that gave metal an identity and confidence in itself that would allow for future generations to experiment, some albums that scored my teenage breakdowns, and some albums that are heinously bad in sometimes interesting ways. Personal picks: Blood Mountain by Mastodon End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage Issues by Korn Essential picks: Powerslave by Iron Maiden Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath Horrible albums that Jon made me listen to: The Unspoken King by Cryptopsy Illud Divinum Insanus by Morbid Angel Cold Lake by Celtic Frost Hosted on Acast.

    Phoenix In Flight

    On the previous episode, Marcus tasked me with researching the turn of the 80s and the development of thrash seemingly out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. What I discovered is that there were a lot of interwoven threads that brought us to the Bay Area fellas who loves drinking, high top Nikes, and sick guitar solos. I also reveal some choice albums from my own personal perspective and albums that I deem essential to anyone looking into the genre. Personal: Reign In Blood by Slayer Slipknot by Slipknot Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God Essential: Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath Jane Doe by Converge Arc by Agoraphobic Nosebleed Hosted on Acast.

    When Acting As A Wave

    The first official (and very messy) episode will see us discussing albums from Pig Destroyer, Every Time I Die, Black Sabbath, and more along with the canon and how it has been formed over time. Who gets to define the canon? Can or should it evolve? Most importantly, why should we care? Tune in and don't forget to keep the conversation going on twitter @lakedragging or through an email correspondence lakedragging@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast.
