It's that time again! That's right time to get your dose of weekly worship at the altar of radness this week Gary and Sonny HAD to gather to talk about 2 of our favourite bands from the metalcore scene in 2024, these bands go from strength to strength and they do it on their own terms Kublai Khan release their 6th studio album and show no signs of slowing down 156/Silence have one of the most unique sounds of all of their peers and hopefully it's their time to get recognised for it!

It's a big one for us Heavyist Boys - Every Time I Die are one of the single most important bands to us so when Keith's new project Many Eyes put out their debut we had to convene early to discuss it, does it hold up?

This week on the show we are putting dinner plates in our earlobes and dying our fringes jet black as we talk about 2 new releases from the world of Deathcore! New Zealand based heavy bastards Depths bring the atmosphere and the groove with their 5th studio album and NEW NEW band The Killing of a Scared Deer from Canada have an EP of throwback deathcore that's going to take years off your life 🖤💀 STAY HEAVY xJoin the Discord!

We're "MAD FER IT" this week (well Sonny is anyway) as we have yet another stacked bag of riffs to chat about. It's a grindcore party here on the Heavyist as we have 2 hard and fast ragers to talk about NAILS are BACK! Have they managed to keep up the pace after 8 years? Has the completely new line-up had any effect on their ability to level cities with their potent brand of HM2 thick metallic grindcore? I guess you'll have to listen to find out ;) Concrete Winds on paper might appear to be up against it releasing a grind record on the same day as Nails but we are here to tell you they don't need to worry! then we take a RARE divergence into talking about records this week that we were disappointed by - we go into everything we talk about wanting to love it but occasionally this just isn't the case. The Number Twelve Looks Like You broke the mathcore internet with their "interesting" new single, Zeal and Ardor have made a shift and we're not sure why and algorithmic darlings of metalcore Thrown have a new album out that is akin to a piece of chewing gum. Chapters: 00:00 - Intro - MAD FER IT 9:11 - Nails Every Bridge Burning 23:25 - Concrete Winds - Concrete Winds 33:46 - Brutal News: The Number Twelve Looks Like You 41:37 - Zeal & Ardor - Greif 50:16 - Thrown - Excessive Guilt Be sure to follow us on the socials and join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/nSjP3A8bRy https://www.instagram.com/theheavyistpodcast/ https://twitter.com/TheHeavyist https://www.facebook.com/TheHeavyist/ 🖤💀 STAY HEAVY xJoin the Discord!
