MEEPS OVER CALIFORNIA.
15 years ago this week, July 31 of 2007, DevilDriver released their 3rd album THE LAST KIND WORDS, which was a pivotal moment in their career.
They were coming off tha good will of THE FURY OF OUR MAKER’S HAND which has distanced themselves from tha shadow of their self-titled debut and larger than life frontman, Dez Fafara, who had already enjoyed success in Coal Chamber.
Now it was DevilDriver’s turn establish what they were and would go on to be! Guitarist then-and-now Mike Spreitzer tells us about tha headspace going into it, conflicts during it, working with producer Jason Suecof, Ozzfest, & where The Last Kind Words falls into DevilDriver's canon today.

Terror - Always the Hard Way (2006) [w/ Nick Jett of Terror] Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

LIVING WITH A POD COMPLEX: ⁣
Exploring albums released on Trustkill Records that were distributed by Roadrunner. ⁣
⁣
They say you have 10 years to make your most relevant material - nobody told Terror. Two decades later they're making their most important music to date but in between tha instant classics their first two records & their modern masterclass in core "Keepers of the Faith", they did not choose to make it easy. ⁣
⁣
2006's "Always the Hard Way" was their first after guitarist Todd Jones' departure & would set tha tone for what Terror would do next. With Todd gone, drummer Nick Jett took tha songwriting reigns & made an album often overlooked but just as crushing as their hallmarks. ⁣
⁣
And you don't have to blade to hear about tha Hard Way; it's easy!⁣
⁣Just push play like Steve Tyler on this UNLOCKED Meep Meep!

Twelve Tribes - The Rebirth of Tragedy (2004) [w/ Adam Jackson of Twelve Tribes] May 08, 2022

Show notes

FUNERAL OF POD
Exploring albums released on Ferret Records that were distributed by Roadrunner.
Twelve Tribes' 2004 album "The Rebirth Of Tragedy" is, in many ways, a "rebirth" for tha band themselves. After briefly changing their name to Prodigal Zoo in 2003 and shifting a few key members, they re-emerged with an album that tops everything they'd done before it.
Tha TRAGEDY is that they're not still a band today and probably not given the adulation they deserve for this incredible album. So vocalist Adam Jackson took tha time to run through tha tribal customs that led to these songs and finally answer tha age old question...
Did they name this record after tha Vision of Disorder song?!
