This episode the guys talk about Death Is Little More, the super powerful new album from Hartford based crushers Boundaries. If you’re down with high octane dissonance, bruising riffs and heartfelt lyrics, this is absolutely an album worth checking out. It’s a wonderful bit of music.

In discussing the album and the powerful lyrical content, the guys touch on mental heath and the importance of self care. If you’re struggling with anything or just need to talk to someone about your problems or the issues that you’re facing, don’t be ashamed to reach out for help.

This time around Derek got progged over the head. And he liked it!

Charismatic Leaders is the third release from Finland’s progmetal gurus Wheel. As the resident Shit Talk prog guy, John wanted to bring it to the table. The album is great and is covered with just enough frosting for Derek (the resident thrash guy) to dig it too; the consensus is that if you dig the metal but are new to the progressive side of things, you might dig this as well.
