11. Bow Down
01:25:58||Ep. 11On this episode, Ryan (@galacticdad) and I recorded something after six weeks of planning off of the speakers of his laptop because we both have brain damage. We attempt some historical revisionism and try to act like deathcore is a real genre, mostly succeeding in my opinion. You be the judge.My choices for the precedents of deathcore:Damonacy (1991)Internal Bleeding - Voracious Contempt (1995)Suffocation - Pierced From Within (1995)Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline (1998)Despised Icon - The Healing Process (2005)Antagony - Rebirth (2005)Job for a Cowboy - Doom (2005)Ryan's choices for modern deathcore:The Faceless - Akeldama (2006)Born of Osiris - The New Reign (2007)Veil of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse (2008)Oceano - Depths (2009)Whitechapel - A New Era of Corruption (2010)

10. An Ode to Death
01:14:00||Ep. 10The return of Jon aka @AnalGender sees us taking a look at the incredible career Chuck Schuldiner and his seminal band Death. We do a breakdown of what made them so special, what each album brings to the table, and the ways in which Lil Yachty and Coldplay can be mentioned on a heavy metal podcast. Join in the conversation at @LakeDragging and most importantly, go listen to Death to gain a greater appreciation for extreme metal and all the myriad ways that Chuck is the godfather of whatever genre you like.9.
