Lonely People with Power by Deafheaven | Album Review
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing Lonely People with Power, the latest album by Deafheaven. We've been massive fans of Deafheaven for years, but 2021's Infinite Granite had us split down the middle. Lonely People with Power shows the band returning to black metal in a massive way, shattering any assumptions people may have had that they are now a full-blown shoegaze band. Once again Deafheaven proves they are more than capable songwriters and continue to experiment in innovative ways. Crank this one. ...

Loose Ends | Thunderball by Melvins 1983
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we’re discussing Thunderball, the latest album by Melvins. Technically, this was released as Melvins 1983, which has the band’s very first drummer, Mike Dillard, on drums instead of Dale Crover. Thunderball also features experimental musicians Void Manes and Ni Maitres lending electronic contributions. If you’re a fan of the early 90s sludge era of Melvins, then this is the album for you.

info_outlineThis week we’re discussing every album by King Crimson from 1969 to 1974. Led by the legendary (and partially insane) Robert Fripp, King Crimson is one of the pioneers of prog rock, as well as one of the wildest and most influential bands of all time. This era of the band chronicles some of the most memorable albums in all of prog rock. But be warned, this is not a band that welcomes everyone. The insanity is real.
Closing track” One More Red Nightmare” from Red (1974)
