D.E.W.

                       

                        So...D.E.W. What do you know about D.E.W.? Would you believe that our own gov's have a high powered weapon such as a DIRECT ENERGY WEAPON. Lasers!!!! And I mean really big and powerful lasers that can be installed in practically any mobile vehicle, aircraft, satellites, etc...

 Athena is the chosen name for this weapon of invisible fiery destruction. Since, this is the goddess of war, wisdom and crafts. It would make sense that this weapon is no joke. Imagine taking out the enemies with out having to go in for a full invasion. Spare soldier lives, protect the country from outer space, preventing missiles and making them explode in mid air before making contact with its target's. Geeze, we are really heading to the future of highly advance military technology weapons. 

   It is what it is. America will always live up to the Oath of Allegiance. And definitely will continue to pursue the protection for this Country. 

 The only thing that I wonder is that with these recent wildfires that we have had here in California in the past two years have brought some speculation and possibly a conspiracy towards the American people being attacked by these military weapon lasers from the sky.  

  Before I start getting into the rumors and conspiracy theories that have been circulating out there in the internet. To all who have been effected. 

  My heart and condolences goes out to all the people who have lost there lives, loved ones, animals and all that was engulfed in this non merciful fire. May they all rest in peace. God bless you all. 

 There is so much information about these wildfires just in itself. I will leave you all a couple links from 2017 and current  to check it out.

 Could it be possible that we are being attacked by a foreign country? Could this be a population control for California? Could this just be an experiment on a slightly bigger scale to see what these laser's true capability is? Or was this just was a normal wildfire set by its self or pyromaniacs?

  There are some people who are calling this "Operation Torch California". Now, keep in mind these are conspiracy theories...But, of course it is up to you to see what is the real and what makes sense in your minds. Especially when there are hard evidence and facts that does back up what these individuals have been sharing to the world. Take a look at these pictures. Do you see anything odd?

How do trees burn from the inside out?

Wildfires are supposed to burn everything in its path.. why is there still some healthy green scenery?

EVERLASTING SPEW BLAST

     What's up everyone? Wes here again with another new update for you all. Tonight I'll be discussing some new releases and updates from Italian metal label EVERLASTING SPEW RECORDS. If you haven't heard of them before they have a very diverse line up. Ranging Old School Death Metal to Technical Death Metal to Progressive mind bending Death Metal to dirty dark Blackened Death Metal. Be sure to do yourself a favor and check out their roster on bandcamp Here.

     The first update we have is a new visual music video for the band Infuriate's track "Engastration". The video is pretty straight forward. You get performance from all the band members. But honestly, who doesn't love a bassist getting down and playing all fingers like a mad man? I DO! Infuriate like the video is straight up death metal. I get a Severed Savior feel from some of these riffs but the album will really get you on track. Scope the video below and support Texas Death Metal!

Infuriate - "Engastration"

     The next band we have next is Vitriol hailing from Portland, Oregon. If you listen to our podcast I mistakenly said they were Italian. Bad Wesley BAD! But I mean, can you blame me? Their sound sounds more like Italian bands like say early Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour of Penance, or even Deceptionist with a touch of Black Metal. But Damn is Vitriol a bad ass band. Their sound to me is very wild and brash. The production is very clean but the vocals are so raw and angry it's amazing. Check out their new single "The Parting of a Neck" below and look out for their release of "Pain Will Define Their Death" on CD and Vinyl on November 30th, 2018.

Vitriol - "The Parting of A Neck"

Pre-Order "Pain Will Define Their Death":  Here

Buy the Digital Version NOW: Here

US Pre-orders and Vitirol Official Shop: Here

     If you haven't heard of Serocs you definitely NEED to give these dudes the time of day. If you dig bands like Spawn of Possession, Severed Savior, or Cryptopsy. I'm almost going to guarantee you'll love these guys. The band features members of First Fragment (sick), Chthe'ilist, Funebrarum, Benighted (oh fuck), and Sutrah. They play a very raw technical death metal style that I truly love. Anyhow, to get a taste of what I'm talking about below you can watch a play through for the song "Deimos Part IV" off of the album "The Phobos / Deimos Suite" that was released on October 26, 2018. You gotta love that neoclassical riffing and shredding. Well, enjoy!

Serocs - "Deimos Part IV"

     If you're still with me, last but certainly not least. I offer you Ferum and their lead single "Siege of Carnality" off the forthcoming EP "Vergence". This Italian band brings you a nasty...dirty...savage blend of Doomy Death Metal. When I first heard the track I thought, "God this is gruesome." I got the feeling of early Obituary and the vocals solidified that thought. As the track plays on you'll become consumed in the mix and totally feel the grit. If not just turn that shit up! "Verge" is set to release on December 14, 2018. So be on the lookout. For now check out the lead single "Siege of Carnality" below.

     So there you have it, the latest offerings from our Italian brothers over at Everlasting Spew Records. Check out their roster of bands like I said, I'm sure like 1,000% you'll find something you love.

lock & Key Social Drinkery + Kitchen

So this weekend I was lucky enough to go check out a awesome spot called Lock & Key Social Drinkery + Kitchen. It’s a small little spot that doesn’t look like much from outside. I almost walked past it. But once inside they have plenty showing off who they they are. Now one of the 2 things they show off a lot over their social media, which is how I found out about this place, is their bar. The bar is beautiful and well stock. They have a wide verity of liquor and craft beers on tap. I ordered their version of a old fashion which they add grapefruit juice to. This is one of the best I’ve had. Flavor is well balanced and they don’t put a ton of ice like some places do. They instead use 1 large cube so that it doesn’t melt down and water down their drink to quickly. And if you look carefully they have the initials of the restaurant in the ice cube. One of the other items they really promote is their 40 oz dry aged tomahawk steaks. This was possibly the most tender steak I’ve had. Flavor was amazing and there wasn’t a ton of fat. Now I wouldn’t order this again mainly because of the price. But it was something I needed to try at least once. They have plenty of other items on the menu that look great and are more reasonably price so you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank every time you make a trip down. The best part is they are located near a theater so you can make a day of your visit and catch a movie. (And or nap depending on how much you eat here). All in all it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend everyone check it out. Unless you’re vegan.

Conscious Summary "Exhaustions"

Los Angeles based Atmospheric act Concious Summary has dropped a mind altering drug of an album called "Exhaustions". Unlike the title the music will not leave you bored and tired. It's actually gripping and very fresh. I almost like I was traveling throw a wormhole in space and then crash landed in a new world only to look at my reflection and realize I was moving at double the speed of time and space and could my future actions and choices before i made them. If you think string theory is cool you'll definitely love this album. Having only 3 tracks but clocking in at over 30 minutes this album is a beast. Strap in and get ready, light one if you got it because we're gonna get WEIRD. "Exhaustions" is out today (11/9/2018) on Skintrade Recordings.

Conscious Summary - "Commitment to Extinction"

Defleshed and Gutted "Hibernaculum of Decay"

     El Paso, Texas Brutal Death Metal wizards Defleshed and Gutted bring a new devastating slab of Slam with "Hibernaculum of Decay". The album was originally slated to be released with Putrid Coffin Records but things happen and now the album is being released on Lord of the Sick Records with a revamped fresh cover art by Armaada Art and damn is it impressive. One thing I truly love about this album is that we find the band going in a new direction. I feel they're really finding and defining themselves instead of sounding like a Devourement/Disgorge worship band like most Brutal Death Metal bands. I'll post a few singles and let you hear exactly what I mean. The Mix and Mastering was handled by Sasha over at Tsun Tsun Productions and it definitely slams. The new mix of complex riffs and heavy riffing is sure to satisfy any brutal cravings you could look for. Keep an eye for these guys on the road or at festivals, they're sure to destroy everything in their path.
