#202 EXODUS - Baloff’s BONDED BY BLOOD & Souza’s PLEASURES OF THE FLESH

Explicit content warning

07/06/23 • 85 min

This episode is dedicated to one of a handful of times in thrash metal history where the first two albums have two totally different singers, giving the illusion of two totally different “first new albums”. And since this is an episode of firsts, we felt that diving into BONDED BY BLOOD (the first album with Paul Baloff on vocals) and PLEASURES OF THE FLESH (the first album with Steve “Zetro” Souza on vocals) together would be an excellent way to compare and contrast the mighty thrash power of Big Five Thrash Masters EXODUS and offer the perfect opportunity to hear the evolution of the band’s sound (from first to first, as it were) and get a better feel for the profound stylistic progression between these two uniquely distinctive debuts (with Baloff & Souza, respectively).

It's time to understand what happens when you’re “hangin’ your dangle” off the boat to “air dry” while simultaneously adjusting your “shutter speed” and aperture. Hopefully “the sheilas” and the djentlemen are both listening so they can behold the “gummified” horror that unfolds “when the bag of syrup is almost out” and JOIN US for this double dive of EXODUS firsts, with Baloff’s BONDED BY BLOOD & Souza’s PLEASURES OF THE FLESH.

#201 DJUNTS & FLAHNS - The SOUNDS of Metal - & OTHER MOUTH SHAPES

If you’re gonna describe a riff to somebody...”

There are a multitude of MOUTH SHAPES that exist all across the rock & metal landscape, many of which we’re pretty certain you’ve never heard of before in your life.

Sure, there’s the typical FLAHNS & DJUNTS. (And thanks to Pantera, there are even super djunts!).

But did you know about the muns, the buns, the duns, the luns, and the uns?

What about the waows and the baows? The dans and the dons?

The ban-nah-nahs, the dahn-nahs and the lahn-nahs?

We realize this is A LOT to process, but here’s a few “rules” to consider that might make comprehension of this lunacy a little easier:

Sometimes if it’s too fast, regardless of how heavy it is, there’s just no time for djunts.
Generally speaking, ALL clean guitar stuff (which includes anything played with a bow) is considered a flahn.

(The only exception being Slayer, as their clean riffs are strangely devoid of any flahninity.)

Melodies (as a general rule) are also applicable to proper MOUTH SHAPE classification as they’re kinda riffs (but not really) and they’re also kinda solos (but not really).
Beavis & Butt-Head are the original pioneers that first brought the heavy metal mouth shape movement to mainstream awareness back in the early 1990’s.

It’s time to grasp which kinds of holes we “don’t like talking about” and find out “why the girls don’t listen” even after our collective acknowledgement that all high quality “stripper lotion” used by “shooter girls and bottle girls” is the best because “it has glitter in it.” Get ready to “get up in there” and have some fun, remember the meaning of “NO means NO” and JOIN US for our in-depth, investigative report regarding DJUNTS & FLAHNS & OTHER MOUTH SHAPES.

#203 QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE

QOTSA, aka QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, began back in the late “Nineteen Hundreds” in Seattle, Washington following the breakup of Josh Homme’s former band, desert metal legends Kyuss. With a wide array of sonic textures, layers, and sound design sorcery ingrained within their music, as with Kyuss, QOTSA is another prime example of a band whose albums should be listened to and enjoyed via headphones (and if we’re being honest, since “this show is about honesty”, a healthy infusion of relaxers will help to further enhance this experience).

It’s time to realize which nationality’s coitus “sounds delicious” and understand that the pain of regret from a disappointing high gravity brew rivals the pain of regret that comes from copping a squat “on your balls”. Prepare to bear witness to one of the greatest alcohol “collabs” ever imagined and discover the powerful allure of food truck fare when you JOIN US as we get outside the desert and go inside the metal with none other than QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.
