S3 Ep03 - Levitating to New Podcast Heights
00:44:48
In this episode we discuss Scottish heavyweights 'Bleed from Within' and their ripping track 'Levitate'. This is our first episode in a while without Julian, as he was embarking on some personal adventures that I'm sure we'll hear all about soon. Joel and Dan take charge discussing the best elements of the song - from the intensity of the drums to the wonderful addition of the strings section. Pop those headphones in or turn those speakers on, and enjoy!
S3 Ep02 - Checking our Ancestry with August Burns Red
01:01:46
Joel, Jules and Dan are back again - this time with one of our old favourites August Burns Red and their recent song Ancestry, featuring vocals from Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage. As usual, we discuss the band's history and break down the song. This is in fact our second episode on August Burns Red. So for those old school listeners who heard our previous ABR episode - thank you for sticking around! We decided to do another one, as it has been a few years and the original episode was recorded in unideal circumstances.
