    The Traitor

    This week, Bryn and Jaff head back to Chile for a meeting with 'The Traitor' amongst the Ananuca flowers. Bryn has unfortunately contracted the dreaded lurgy, but stubbornness prevails and (despite all the mucus) there's discussions about the upcoming Bloodstock announcement, Iggy's saggy torso, Jaff's views on American country music......and a complete inability to remember names for fairly standard household items. It's been a bit quieter on the release front this week, but there's still some gems out there for you to wrap your ears around!!

    Parilla by Vinalba

    This week Bryn and Jaff pop round Andy's for an Argentinian Malbec whilst bringing another THIRTEEN albums to talk about....three consecutive weeks of stunning album releases and we're beginning to think there must be something in Andes water! Bryn leads a tribute to the late, great Dickie Bird, and Jaff makes the bold claim that he may have found his album of the year......but you'll have to listen to find out what it is!!

    Tenacity

    This week Bryn and Jaff take a trip to Australia to indulge in a bottle of Shiraz! There's been another Bloodstock announcement to dissect, Foo Fighters have made creative use of AI and a glass is raised to honour the life of the brilliant Tomas Lindberg. It's also been one of the most varied weeks of music releases so far this year.....plenty of incredible releases to delve into!!

    Decoy

    This week Bryn and Jaff decide to stay in California and try a bottle of Zinfandel whilst discussing the return of Twisted Sister, the unusual System of a Down / Acid Bath announcement, a brief (thankfully!) foray into the images of The Karma Sutra.......and the possibility of starting a new career as a Hip-Hop duo named Egress and Agape...

    Chronic Cellars - Sir Real

    This week Bryn and Jaff are back in California with a rather good Cabernet Sauvignon.....and Jaff has certainly done his research this time! Prepare to learn some fascinating facts about grapes! As usual the conversation bounces around, covering topics such as Roger Waters' big opinionated mouth, the return of Radiohead, and the hopeful possibility of a Shane Embury set at a certain Bristol festival..... Musically, it's been one of the best weeks of the year!! We bring you a death metal album from Ireland, a lute album from Norway, an experimental split from Australia, multiple black metal albums....even Bryan Adams gets a spot!! All this and loads more.....It's one hell of an episode!!

    Carnivor

    After the festival silly season, normal service is now resumed and this week Bryn And Jaff nip over to America to sample a bottle of Zinfandel. There's predictions about Bloodstocks extra headliner, a tribute to the brilliant Brent Hinds, some (not so) unusual activity in the Cradle Of Filth camp...and a healthy serving of the usual nonsense! This week's choice of releases is not for the faint of heart! There's an incredible blackened post-metal album, a soul-wrenching and drone-filled blackened-death record and plenty more to keep your ears and minds occupied! These are six releases that are definitely best listened to with wine.... This Weeks Release Defacement - Doomed (00:23:09) Unorthodox Emanations https://defacementofficial.bandcamp.com/album/doomed Corridoré - Abandon (00:37:28) Hypaethral Records https://corridore.bandcamp.com/album/abandon Farseer - Portals To Cosmic Womb (00:48:33) Self https://farseerofchicago.bandcamp.com/album/portals-to-cosmic-womb Malevich - Under A Gilded Sun (01:01:22) Church Road https://malevichatlanta.bandcamp.com/album/under-a-gilded-sun Wreck And Reference - Stay Calm (01:12:36) The Flenser https://wreckandreference.bandcamp.com/album/stay-calm Dusk - REPOKA EP (01:20:59) Self https://duskvt.bandcamp.com/album/repoka Hosted on Acast.

    The ArcTangent Review

    Bryn and Jaff are back from the glorious fields of Fernhill Farm, and they're bringing you a full run-down of their ArcTangent week! What bands played the best sets? Who were the noisy people by the VIP bar? Why are Inter Arma so smelly? Who made Bryn cry? All these questions (and more) will be answered, as the guys take you on a whirlwind tour of one of the best UK festivals! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Piccini

    Welcome back!! This week, there's a slightly haphazard trip to Italy, where Bryn and Jaff pop into the Piccini winemakers and try one of their blends. Bonus points go to the label which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Pothamus album from earlier this year!! Having just returned from a suitably debaucherous weekend at Bloodstock, Jaff soldiers through and provides a comprehensive run-down of the festival highlights. Bryn takes up the responsibility of reviewing two fantastic debut records that were released last week, and they both get rather excited about heading to ArcTangent this week!! This Weeks Releases Pustulant Flesh - Gurgling Pustulence () Extremely Rotten https://pustulant-flesh.bandcamp.com/album/gurgling-pustulence Circling Over - Amends () Braeburn https://circlingover.bandcamp.com/album/amends Hosted on Acast.
