#17 - This is What Separates the Boys From the Men

#19 - What is Wrong With You, is Wrong All the Way Through

We close out the metalcore season with Contention's Artillery from Heaven, a young classic. We cried, we laughed, we had an eye poked by a clumsy guy on a random pit, but it had to come to an end. We just put out our companion zine to this metalcore season: https://six-out-of-five.neocities.org/vav0 [https://six-out-of-five.neocities.org/vav0] Please go ahead and read that. Talk to you soon. Thanks.

#16 - We Don't Talk Much Anymore but Motherfucker, We Hit Hard

We pulled this episode out despite a seemingly neverending string of technical difficulties. We have fried motherboards, shitty audio drivers, makeshift microphones. We still cannot pronounce the word apocalyptic. But we do it all for you, the listener. Next time you make a joke about podcasting, think about whether you could walk a mile in my shoes. This is a podcast about metalcore masterpiece Controller by Misery Signals

#15 - There is Love! (There is Love!)

The commercial peak of metalcore was As Daylight Dies by Killswitch Engage ("KSE" for the fanz). We wrap our minds around this technically complex epic work and try to figure out some big questions. Is it mid? What are these songs about? What's going on in Sweden? How do you pronounce apocalyptic? We also take some time to shit on people who have seen more success than our entire bloodlines: Avenged Sevenfold. Terrible band. We didn't even bring up them being Republicans. I left my microphone at my mom's place. I actually did some producing this time to make my laptop mic palatable but it's not perfect. Anyway, I'm think of pitch shifting my voice next time. (If you hear a buzzing noise, you did not.)
