New Slidhr album - White Hart!

[Eoin McLove]

I had a proper sit down with White Hart!, undisturbed and with the lyrics in hand. What an experience. Slidhr has always walked its own path and this album is no different. It creates its own world with so many details to elicit joy once you focus on it. The acoustic parts that drop in here and there for mere seconds denoting doom before the songs shoot off in some new direction are a treat and being able to read along to the lyrics really heightens the experience for me. It makes me focus more closely on the vocals, which then tunes my ear in to the layering that is often happening there. I assume it's the new bassist singing in the background in a lot of the songs. His Viking delivery works brilliantly. I'm trying to figure out which part has Richard from Unyielding Love and I think it's towards the end of Sacred Defiance, but who knows. He's not even referenced in the inlay so is he there at all? A bit of intrigue never hurt.

The artwork is growing on me and the booklet on the vinyl is laid out beautifully. There's only one way to follow it up... The Futile Fires of Man

Been listening last couple of days too, will have to pick up a copy as it's just killer.

The interviewer is a bit of a melt but this is really cool.

I listed earlier, I'd listen that show most weeks and he always tries to find common ground before getting on to the musical side of things.
It seemed like he had  to try very hard to get J Deegan going but fist okay to him he kept at it until the conversation opened up a bit.

The show a couple of weeks back was good with Necrobutcher and Drugoth.

I find the host a pain in the arse. He sounds like he should be on FM104... That affected radio delivery is hard going and this shite of referring to himself, and some other online nobodies, as the four horsemen of the metal world! Dream on, dickhead. There is something a bit self-defeating in referring to yourself as the "intellectual whatever whatever"... it's not really a title you can bestow on yourself!

Anyway, apart from all that I enjoyed what I've listened to so far. I've never seen/heard JD talk at such length about his work and as a long time follower of his music it is very welcome.

It was good to hear a long form interview with him and hopefully more people become aware of the band as a result.

Cool enough interview, straight to the point ol' JD  though we didn't learn much more than what's already been said in Bardo.

Into the Necrosphere isn't so bad, much more tolerable than that Trivax fella on Isblis Manifestations, but into the necrosphere,Isblis and agitators anonymous all have the same problem, they can't interview or have a discussion with anyone anyone with out reverting to the same old lockdown/covid shite, it's exhausting.

Exactly. It can completely tank the interviews and guaranteed 90% of it is just for the traffic to the podcasts.

Jackie's definitely got better as a host over the years but he's playing up the gimmick as this "great alpha Joe Rogan of extreme metal", but he's a gym bro who works in HR and by the looks of things does well for himself from the day job.
 

[Eoin McLove]

Yep, completely fed up to death of covid talk. I was over it after around two months of it and now, what, four years on (!!!) I really don't want to fucking hear another thing about it. That said,  I'm very much interested in hearing about musicians' inspirations so I suppose I'll have to accept it from time to time, but minimise it and get to something more interesting please

The Iblis one is terrible. The long winded intro with the host trying to suck himself off each time, raving how underground and extreme he is... SHUT UP!

Apologies, this is changing the tread topic. Listened to White Hart last night. Savage.

Enjoyed that interview myself... Hopefully JD does some more. Yah that jackie smith guy is hilarious, another funny one is Justin Horval from Hells Headbangers

Justin Horval from Hells Headbangers

Looks like the gym teacher from Beavis & Butthead.

Must give Slidhr a spin on the walk tonight, recall enjoying their last one.

Whats the Finnish guy, is it Rauta?This lad, him and that HH moron are like the fucking three stooges.

Actually are there any metal youtubers who aren't mongs?Meh, what do I care.

[mickO)))]

Have seen a few podcasts with the South Africa guy like when he had Kyle from Akhlys on and he can be hard to listen to. JDawg as he is know is an idiot but at least the podcast is funny you are either laughing with him or at him. Someone from the North a while back sent him in one of those paid reviews can't remember the band name though.

Not sure what the issue is with Rauta? He always came across as fine except for the few interviews he did when he was slurring his speech from being too pissed.
