In this episode, Wulf and Judge Dredd are coming hot off the heels of their interview with Garry Brents of Memorrhage (Ep. 34), so the Boyze™, joined by Professor Grindstein, delve into their ongoing obsession with the return of nu-metal. In addition, they analyze how genres generally evolve from underground rawness to mainstream gloss. They also explore the “Ship of Theseus” paradox as it relates to band membership: how many times can band members change and still remain the same band? Finally, they dive deep into their siqq piqqs for professional wrestlers. Ooo yea, brother!

In this episode, the Butte Blazzst Boyezzz™ talk with a very special guest by the name of Garry Brents. Garry is the prolific solo artist behind projects such as Sallow Moth, Homesick, and Gonemage, as well as being one half of underground legends, the now-defunct Cara Neir. However, Garry is currently probably most well-known for Memorrhage, a project that incorporates a healthy dose of 90s nu-metal magic combined with metallic hardcore, grind, and industrial metal influences. Memorrhage has been covered by a wide array of underground metal publications as well as national news outlets, such as NPR.

During the Buddt Bladd Beauz™ talk with Garry, they explore the reasons behind the confounding return of nu-metal and how Garry balances the pop-oriented aspects of nu-metal with the aggression of Garry’s other influences. They examine the significance of 90s nostalgia for millennials and zoomers. Finally, they discuss the impact that role-playing games, and specifically Magic: The Gathering, have had on Garry’s creative voice.

In this episode, the Butte Blazzter Beaus™ Wulf and Judge Dredd create a horrorcore/black metal crossover band generated completely by AI. The Boyezz™ ask AI for their backstory, the album title and cover of their debut, and the bands they have beef with. Much of this is generated in the style of Joe Pesci’s character from Goodfellas with undertones of Lovecraftian horror, capeesh? The Boyst™ consider the various pronunciations of "gyro" and why Clevelanders might have a claim on having the correct pronunciation. Wulf and Judge Dredd also ask AI to predict how Mötley Crüe’s new hip-hop and country-influenced album with John 5 will be received by burned-out rockers everywhere. Finally, the Boyzst™ share recent stories about drunk cougar moms being blackmailed and disappointing friends in dreams.
