The guys sat down this week for a chat with the legendary vocalist (and fitness guru) from Shadows Fall, Overcast and Downpour, the one and only Brian Fair. They talk about sports (with balls and discs of all shapes,) Brian’s long musical history, Derek groping Brian’s junk in years past, Phish, and the mechanics of what it takes to maintain a voice over the course of almost 40 years of fronting heavy bands.

In their third full length release, the duo of Dan Lorenzo (CASISUS KING, DAN LORENZO SOLO BAND, HADES, VESSEL OF LIGHT, NON-FICTION, THE CURSED) and Johnny Kelly (TYPE O NEGATIVE, DANZIG and A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH among others) have dropped another strong ode to one of the original masters of metal, Black Sabbath. As with their last album My Veneration, the team brought in a slew of heavy hitters to contribute on this album. It’s a fun listen, complete with classic Lorenzo riffs and a few surprises along the way!

There’s a bunch of great feels in the tracks, with each guest musician contributing their own style to the project. It’s a long list with Mark Sunshine (RIOTGOD, UNIDA,) Karl Agell (ex-COC), Darryl McDaniel (RUN DMC,) Rob Traynor, Kelly Abe, Frankie Diaz, Kyle Thomas (EXHORDER, AORTHA, ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY,) and Jason McMaster (WATCH TOWER, CASSIUS KING, EVIL UNITED) all contributing vocals throughout the album. Iron Lou, Dave Neabore (DOG EAT DOG,) Johnny Araya, Sal Iuvara, Eric Morgan (A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH, FIRST ORDER) and Eazy Ezekiel provide bass and there’s even a DJ spinning this time around; Jason Donnelly (DJ PUZZLE.)

This episode the Shit Talk triumvirate yak about Schizophrenia, the latest album from Cavalera Conspiracy. Of course, as the majority of the content on the record was first released in 1987 by Sepultura, one could be forgiven for saying it’s technically a Sepultura album. In any case, the Brothers Cavalera have dropped a freshly re-recorded version that includes two new tracks written by Max and it’s a stunner.

Derek sets himself up for a beatdown by either Rhianna or Max’s lovely wife Gloria, David is selling of his celebrity wardrobe and John is on the lookout for some Rototoms. Grab a cold one and sit down with the jackwagons for a chat about the re-recorded Schizophrenia.

Feel free to drop by https://www.shittalkreviews.com for some sticker swag, leave the guys a voicemail and check out the other album review conversations and interviews.

This episode the guys talk about Death Is Little More, the super powerful new album from Hartford based crushers Boundaries. If you’re down with high octane dissonance, bruising riffs and heartfelt lyrics, this is absolutely an album worth checking out. It’s a wonderful bit of music.
