Blood Incantation have always fought to make death metal into high art so is their new record continuing this mission?

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? Are we happy with the direction that he has taken? You'll have to tune in to find out!

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!

We're BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK (again) Sonny's been on paternity leave since his offspring joined the world but while the world's youngest Heavyist took a nap we managed to convene to worship at the altar of radness once more and have a good old catch up about amazing new jams and riffs that have also been birthed into the world! We HAD to get together to discuss the frankly outstanding new album from everyone's favourite Egyptologist Technical Death Metal legends - NILE - Gary is a bit of a Nile N00b whereas Sonny is a bit more of a seasoned pro to the band so it was awesome to get the different perspectives on them we also discuss the future-metal BANGER from Canadian metalcore band Trench with their amazing album released last week that will make you want to crowdkill a serverfarm AOR comes from Gary in the form of Maine hardcore crew Gumskab and although Sonny hasn't had a lot of opportunity to listen to extra music he has been watching videos from A Darker Standard which sound very interesting! Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 16:20 - Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All 39:51 - Trench - Between Inverted Worlds 54:15 - AOR: Gumskab - Cut Your Teeth Thanks for stopping by, please subscribe to the channel for weekly worship - we love you all!Join the Discord!

This week on the show we're a little bit off the cuff - We weren't sure we would be making a show but we managed to pull a belter out of our asses.

Welcome Heavyists! This week on the show we have 2 absolutely glorious records to discuss, one from the UK Underground and one from some sort of fantasy realm! We must start though with Brutal News! It's always a monumental day in the Heavyist calendar when Fit for an Autopsy announce a new album so we delayed the release of the show this week so we could talk about it - their new single Hostage out now. Also after originally teasing it 4 years ago Glacial Tomb finally announce the release of their new album and judging but the new single, it's going to be worth the wait. Then our main album discussions come in the shape of incredible mathcore savagery from UK crew Tendrils with their debut album - and Summoning the Lich follow up the wonderful United in Chaos with more tales of the eponymous Lich and it's journey through the underworldJoin the Discord!
