Warning, the songs you are about to hear are intended for mature listening audiences only. If you have a weak mind or heart and don't like words like shit, fuck, or cunt, then please refrain from listening any further. It's time for some real music. It's showtime. We have seen imitators. We've also seen duplicators. But now, it's time for the originators. Los Angeles and the rest of the world, we are back. Many have tried to replicate. Many. Have tried to duplicate. There's only one true, real, extreme underground show. The very manic Jimmy Cab show. I am Jimmy Cabs. Very glad to be here broadcasting live from downtown gentrified Los Angeles. Here on We Play Radio. WePlayRadio.com. Does that sound gay or what? WePlayRadio.com. When you say it like that, yes, it does. Let me introduce my lovely white co-host here, the very handsome and sexy Mr. Scott Peterson of cryptic slaughter. How long has that been? Over 30 years now? 30 years going on 31. Hey, Chester, you want to lower that fucking music, please? Thank you for being here. It's always a pleasure. What do you think of the new studio? I actually like this. This is very nice. It's nice, right? It's open. It's very, very white and comfortable. I feel very at home. One of the things that I appreciate about broadcasting from like a naive professional environment is when you get these dudes that have these shows like out of their bathroom or in their fucking bedroom. Yeah. And they think they're somebody and you're like, dude, you're broadcasting out of your bedroom. You know what I mean? But is it a nice bedroom? This is a very, very lovely studio here. One of the things that I'm glad for. First of all, I want to thank Chester and We Play Radio. Hey, Chester. Are you on the mic there? Hey, what's up? What's the deal with this We Play Radio, dude? Really? Like, how can I say that like in an alpha voice? You got to say it real tough. Hey, come down, We Play Radio. We Play Radio. Should I growl it? You can. Now, I know we had like a voting process too when we were originally trying to get a name for the studio. But honestly, We Play Radio? You were outvoted, man. It came to a vote. It's a story of his life. He's always outvoted. All right. All right. Listen, this is interesting. I'm glad that we're back on the air. I want to thank all of you who didn't give a fuck when we were off the air. But anyways, we're back on the air. Lots to talk about. A lot of conflict in the world, Scott, as you know. I don't know if you are familiar with the world crisis that we're living in now. I keep an ear to the grindstone. You don't give a flying fuck. You're living the life, man. I love this life that you give me that I am living. I like the fact that when you go out, I know that you're like engaged with like very lovely, you know, your social. Soul partner. You know, you're one and only. But you know, when you go out, you see these little like girls come up to you. They're all cryptic slaughtered, like fucking wet for you, right? How does that feel at our age? Because I got to tell you, it's very disturbing when I go out and I see these young ladies that were never there 30, 35 years ago. They weren't there. You remember when you used to play those gigs at Fenders? Yes. There was like one girl and she looked like Lemmy. Yeah. And if there was that one cute girl, every dude was just on her like fucking flies. If there was a cute girl. Every dude had had her and she had fucking chlamydia. So, you know, it wasn't a cool catch. But how does it feel when you walk into a room 35 years later that people still recognize you? And not only that, some chicks still want to fuck you. I'm happy with it all. The fact that people still care about cryptic slaughter, that women still find me attractive and want to fuck me, which is never going to happen. You know, I'm loyal to my one, my girl. Do you find yourself? Do you find yourself being tortured like the way I am? No, because you and I, we're great friends. We're family, but we're just, we're different beasts. Like, I'm that guy. My parents have been together 56 years, married 55. And it took me 39 years to find my, you know, my chick. And she's, there's nothing any girl can give me. All right. So in layman's terms, what you're saying is you find yourself a hot piece of ass. You're not going to fuck it up by trying to bang some fucking 21-year-old dumb bitch. I'm not fucking my life. There's no magic vagina. Except for my dick. Except for what I have at home. And there's nothing that any chick can give me that my girl can't give me a hundred times better. Right on, right on. So. This is the deal here, people. First of all, I want to thank you all for listening. We are broadcasting live from downtown LA. We play radio. How did that, that sound somewhat convincing? That was good. It was convincing. There was, you were in control of it. We should be grateful, though, that, you know, someone gave us this wonderful opportunity. I know I am. Okay. Here we are here. 1-800. 893-9562. Why don't you give us a call and fucking welcome me back, goddammit. See if anybody gives a fuck. A lot of conflict going on in the world. Obviously, the Russians are out of their fucking mind out there and fucking not only Ukraine, but now they're fucking with Turkey. Right? I ran that whole situation with ISIS. San Bernardino here at home. But I think the real problem that's going on is that a lot of young ladies really have no idea about proper anal prep. And that is very crucial in this day and age. 2015, if you don't, I mean, anal ain't as taboo as it used to be 30 years ago. You recall that? No, no. You remember the struggles back then? Yes. It's a lot easier. It took a lot of alcohol, a lot of money. Now it's like, you know, it's part of the repertoire, you know. And to discover that young ladies have no idea about the proper prep, it's fucking disturbing as fuck. So I'm glad that I'm on the air to be able to educate our demographic here. We got a great show for you today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There are a lot of musicians that think they have talent, right? How many fucking assholes do you know that play guitar and they think they're the shit? Well, it's always been like that. Right? Yeah. It's, it'll never end. Okay. So it's very, very rewarding when you encounter a group of musicians that not only play really good tunes, but they don't have a fucking rockstar fucking attitude. How many musicians do you know that they think they're somebody and they're really not? That's like, there's way too many. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wish we could. I wish we could drop some names and we're going to keep it pro, right? Like they do like 30 years later and they think there's somebody's now just because a couple of people remember them and they think they like, they're like journey status or Metallica status. Yeah. And then they're not. Like dude, outside of your city, no one gave a fuck. No. And they still don't. All right. Well, we have tonight a band called Yidira from Los Angeles. Really great band. Great guys. Not only are they great guys, but they play some really good heavy music. We're going to, they're going to be our guests later on today, but before we get to them, we're going to talk to them. We're going to be playing some music that really is what is the true essence of this show. And let me just say this. There are a lot of people that have their radio shows that really think that they're doing something, but they really are just fucking bombarding everybody with a bunch of garbage. They don't break. They don't play any good shit. It's all the same bullshit. It's all the same fucking crap. Let's keep it real and genuine and let's play some good music. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Chester, take it away. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Take the path Take your life and I'm gonna die Take your life and I'm gonna die The template of the game I'm in control Far and away from my heart Far and away from my heart And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same And for the same Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Tell us what we just played there. That was Quetzalcoatl from the band Bolan from the album Ack of All. Okay, right now there's some people listening. What the fuck did you just say? So why don't you say that again? Quetzalcoatl. In the mic, sir. That was Quetzalcoatl from the band Bolan. And the album was Ack of All. Fucking Mexican. I love that last part. They can build shit. They can fix a fucking car with chiclets. But what... They can cook like motherfuckers, but when it comes to fucking pronunciation... But anyways, that's a band called Bolan here from Los Angeles. Let me just say this. Adrian, would you agree? That is one, aside from a couple of great bands from Los Angeles, that band is fucking amazing, right? Total Supreme. Yeah, they're fucking great. Scott, what else did we play? I like that, Total Supreme. Then we heard Black Mass Upon the Altar of War by Ritual Combat. Ashen Crowns, Icon of Phobias, and then... Icon of Phobos. Phobos? There you go. Okay. Jimmy Cab's writing is not as good as it should be. You should have been a doctor. Right. And then the last was by a good old band from the good old 80s, a song called Disciple of Death by FCDN Tormentor. Tormentor. Now, that demo is from 1986. Let me just say this. All those four bands that we played are Los Angeles bands. Yes. Okay? Okay. Amazing bands. Volan, and then also Ritual Combat, which is off the Bulldozer Magazine comp. Okay? Bulldozer Magazine. Go to www.bulldozermag.com. Icon of Phobos is also on that comp. Great band. And FCDN Tormentor, a band from back in the day, not this Tormentor that's going around now. Have you seen this new Tormentor that's going around? No. No, there's only one Tormentor. There is only one Tormentor, but there's a bunch of fucking young kids thinking that they're Tormentor, and it's not. Anyway, don't get me started on that. Okay. All right. Los Angeles, as I mentioned before, is home to many, many musicians that not only come from different regions of the nation, but the world. And they all think that they're all going to be fucking rock stars and that they're all talented. It's a fucking pain in the ass. Locally, there's a group of fucking musicians that are also a pain in the ass, but be that as it may, the very... The very few good bands... Although we know how to prep the ass. Right? The very... We're going to get into that. The very... Don't interrupt me. The very few bands that are playing are really working very hard. They're playing the circuit. They're playing live. Let me introduce real quick what I think is one of the great bands of Los Angeles, Yidara. Now, before we begin, first of all, hello, Dave. Hello, Ted. Thanks for having us. Hello. Before we talk about this great EP, that you just put out, and the struggles that you're dealing with playing the circuit and what have you, let me start off with a very, very important question here. Both of you have amazing facial hair. Fucking beautiful beards. Be that that we're all aficionados of facial hair, how difficult is it to deal with these motherfuckers that come up to you and ask you about your facial hair and how you keep it groomed and then they want to touch it? How annoying is that? Actually, that doesn't happen to me. I know it does. That's why I'm bringing it in. How annoying is that? No, no. It doesn't happen to me. It doesn't happen to me at all. Only people that ever comment on my beard are old black dudes. See, they probably appreciate it. They understand it. They do. It's kind of weird. Like, I'll be... I work in kind of an area that's... Easy, easy. That's the most people there. And I'll be at like a.m. p.m. or something getting a coffee or whatever. And I'll hear, hey, man, cool fucking beard, man. Let's see. That's nice. That's cool fucking beard. It's better than like... So what you're saying is, is African-Americans admire your facial hair? Old dudes. Old guys. Really? Yeah. Like old. Older than me old. And so... Is that possible? You're fucking old. Are you flatter? I mean, does... Well, kind of. Yeah. Because, you know, I just take it as like, oh, he must just be some like old blues guy. That's it. That's it. What about you, Ted? What about you? I stare down at the stereotype and think, fuck that. Well, Dave and I, he's sort of telling the truth. I mean, there's been the occasional, what we call beard hunters. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The chicks. The beard hunters. Where you walk into a bar and then they look like this and they're all... Wow. Well, they know. There's some beard hunters and I bolt real quick. You catch the eye, right? And then they go to each other and they whisper. They look back at you and smile. And then I leave. And then I leave them for Dave. I don't mind. I don't mind when young ladies, you know, admire facial hair. But what is hard and difficult for me to accept in this day and age is the... I mean, first of all, men in general, this new generation, they're very effeminate. They're fucking gay as fuck. Not that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality, but, you know, they're gay as fuck with the man buns and all that. And as far as we all know, I mean, we're not part of the trend thing. You know, we're facial hair guys because, to be honest with you, like, now that I'm not working part of a productive society, I could grow my fucking hair and not give a fuck. You know, but it's a fashion statement. What's difficult for me to deal with is when dudes come up and they're touching, they're trying to... I'm from East LA, dude. I'm from Sedona. No, yeah. I have to interject. There is a band that I went to. I went to a show. There was a band discussing this. A band we all know, and I will not name names. They were all discussing their grooming and their oils and all this other stuff with a girl. And then they looked at me and they're like, oh, what's your regimen? And I go, I wash and then I get my hair and I get out and I dry it and I brush it out so it's not tangled and all fucked up. And then I leave. And that's my regimen. Like, there's nothing else. They're like, oh, you don't put oil? I'm like, I don't put oil in my beard. Oil is shampoo and conditioner's on sale. It goes on my head, goes on my beard. Yeah, I mean, and that was that. And then they're like, like... You got to name it. Acting to me like I was like pulling their leg. Like, good fuck, everybody does that. I'm like, no, dude. This is a... This is not because I want to get... This is not because I want to groom something. This is because I don't want to fucking shave every day. But listen, aside from your wonderful facial hair, you guys just recently put out an EP here. Yidra. Yidra. Yidra. I butchered that name. I'm notorious for it. Yidra. It's like Yidra. Yeah. Yidra. Okay, let's see. Let me make sure I get it on the fucking camera. Say it like an old Russian name, Yidra. Okay, this is Cult of Bathory. Oh, you got to break that thing open, man. This is amazing. This is an amazing EP that you just put out. And one of the things that I've always appreciated about bands that are really doing it for reals, because you're not doing the whole fucking, you know, internet thing. You guys go out, you play the circuit, you know. Talk to me a little bit about this EP. You guys just released this. This is the follow-up to Hexed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's old. We recorded like almost a year and a half ago. This EP? A year and a half ago? It was recorded a long time ago. Yeah, it was recorded a long time ago. We recorded it a long time ago. We did it as a demo. And then it's just been laying around. And then we kind of got offered or the... Basically, it was heard and then a label or Black Voodoo said, we want to put that out as is. Fuck that demo bullshit. This is good. Now, were these tracks recorded when you did Hexed with Bill Montoya and all? No, it was after Hexed. And we went in there to track some demos because we were working on new material for a new full length. Oh, okay. And we did these four songs. Oh, okay. And then we were moving on with stuff and we played it for some people and Black Voodoo said, we want this as is. Let's put this out. And it's live too. We went in there and just did the four songs in one day. I was just going to say that because when you listen to this EP, it really does have like a very raw, very live kind of tone, which I love. One of the things I hate is when bands go in the studio and then they try to like be in with Mountstein and all technical and all clean and go in there and just record the shit. The human element is what really, I mean, for a music aficionado like myself, that's what you want to hear. Humans playing instruments, not this whole, you know, clean fucking sound. And what I like about this EP is the fact that it's very raw. So you recorded this live? Yeah. Yeah, the four of us went in there, tracked all the music and then I laid the vocals on later and Dave did like one guitar overdub. I only overdubbed one guitar thing because it's on Iron Mountain and it's a kind of quiet part and it was super, super quiet and so Bill just goes, hey man, do another one. And so they're both, like it's both on there. Like you can hear the two. But when you're talking about the, the sort of, you know, things got to be perfect or whatever. I hate that. Rain of Terror was a brand new song. Like brand new. I hadn't even, when it came to the solo, I didn't know what I was going to do. So right before we recorded, I said, look, we may have to do this a couple of times because I have no idea what I'm going to play. I see that. It makes it more real. You can feel the energy. That, what's on there? That's an improv lead. It's just, it's just, yeah. That was the first solo you did? First one I did and then I, when we played it back, I go, I go out of key a little bit in one spot and Bill goes, what? And I walk, and I go right there. He goes, no. Bill. Sounds like Bill. And Bill knows when shit's out of key. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was out of key. Now, when you recorded this, was this when Bill had his infamous devil dog in the studio? Oh yeah. That cat was there for the whole time. And how did that dog deal with you? Cause I mean, he loved us. Really? Yeah. Okay. Cause that dog was like the hound from hell. We had no issues with the cat whatsoever. Yeah. All right. We're going to be playing in a little bit, tracks off this new year, people. Why don't we play something off your prior release, which was Hexed. This is a great tune here. You're listening to Yidra on We Play Radio on the very manic Jimmy Cab show. Why don't you call us at 1-800-893-9562. Chester, take it away. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. I sound like that all the time. You have stirred the pot, Jimmy. Okay, so that's Dave's perspective. Here's mine. Not the bullshit songs. There were a couple songs that I play guitar on that when we went into the studio, primarily because we left Bill. We had a certain budget. We didn't bring my gear to mic another amp, to track another fucking thing. Dave's shit was there. Dave basically learned my parts, played them, and then we moved on, on Hexed. There was only a couple songs on that album that I actually played on up to that point. Then we continued when I started playing guitar more often. I learned guitar and added guitar parts that we played live that are different on Hexed when I play. This album, I play on every track on guitar. When we started playing after that, it would be hit and miss. There's some sets I would have songs on. Then I'd play guitar, some not. I would take it off, put it on, whatever, have some variety. The last year, just for convenience, actually, more than anything else, because we were playing smaller clubs and bringing all our gear as a fucking pain in the ass or whatever, we decided to morph it out. Next year, I'm going to play guitar more often. Great. We're also writing new material with our new bass player, so it's a whole other ballgame. Because we have the option, we're going to keep it, but it's not something that I feel like I have to do all the time. Actually, the one... One of the newest songs we've been playing, he wrote on guitar. Well, obviously, with the lyrics, too. It's fucking cool. It's really cool. But when we play it live, it's just me playing it. Do you feel that the fact that you haven't been playing live on guitar, that the band loses some substance of heaviness? Because when I first saw your show and you were not playing guitar, I was amazed that the heaviness was not only there, but even more predominantly heavy. See, dude, I can handle it. We're going to ask Ted this question. Ted, how do you feel about this? It was odd. I don't know what you're... Here's the thing. When you have a second guitar tuned the way we tune and playing the way we play, I don't think that a single guitar is heavier, but it just depends on what it is. We write songs for the songs, not for... For any other reason. As we rewrite it through, we have a guitar part there because it's cool, and we add it because it's good, not because of anything else. If it's stripped down, it's still stripped down. It could be... It's a different vibe, but I personally wouldn't say it's heavier or less heavy one way or the other. It's just different. But it still has that heaviness. Oh, yeah. Everything we do is going to be fucking heavy. That's all there is to it. Well put. Well put. Why don't we listen to a track off this new EP? Great album. Black Voodoo Records. Let me make sure. I'm on the camera here. Are we? What the fuck is it? Oh, there we go. Black Voodoo Records. Make sure you pick this up. This is a track off Cult Bathory. Yidra from Los Angeles. Chester, take it away. All right. All right. All right. All right. From dissonance Drive my new baby Yeah You and the cold, the bath of rain You and the cold, the bath of rain Bath of rain Bath of rain With bottle caps and nails You take their lives But love's only dignity It's all that survives Girls You and the cold, the bath of rain You and the cold, the bath of rain Bath of rain Bath of rain Bath of rain We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. we were walking into when we get there, right? It fucking sold out and it was packed, packed, packed. And everybody was like, we like, it was kind of cool because like it was the one show where like, I actually saw like, this is going to sound like egotistical and stupid. Like we want everybody over it. Like you saw it happen. Like you saw it going down. So I wave at people looking at each other and then all of a sudden it was like, they were not, they were looking at us. Wow. And I don't pay attention to the crowd, but it was so many people that night and I was like, kind of like, holy fuck. But that bill was stacked from beginning to end. It was connoisseur, us, horns and wind hand. I mean, at a place like the Hemlock, that's like, it's fucking gold. It was pretty awesome. So they were into it just as much as you guys were. And at first they weren't sure who you guys were. Nobody knew who the fuck we were at all. And then after your set was done, they did. Yeah, and it was cool because I mean, people all night long, the chick thing. I like your beard. I didn't have a beard at that show. That's why you grew one, see? Have you been out to the East Coast? Have you been out to the East Coast? Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately we haven't been able to make it there yet. We're constantly getting shit from Europe, like come out here, come out here. You know, it just takes a lot of shit. Yeah, well, you know, we're trying. We're trying to do, hit everywhere because we want to. But we're going back up north. Yeah, let's talk about that. You have a couple of dates up north. Tell me about these. Dates. Go ahead. In January, we have two shows. We had three shows, but there was some tomfoolery or some circumstances that went on with San Francisco. So that one got canceled. But we're playing in Portland and Seattle on the 8th and 9th, respectively. We're playing at High Watermark on the 8th in Portland. And we're playing at Funhouse. Funhouse in Seattle. So that'll be cool. That's the 9th. And then in between there, we're trying to fill the dates. You know, I think we might have something in Sacramento on the 7th, which is a Thursday. And then we're trying to fill that other date. Any potential dates for Los Angeles? Nothing right now. The only thing we have is we have a Riverside date tentatively and we have a San Diego date. But that's later in the year. San Diego, probably in March or April. Now, your record is being streamed on numerous, locations, correct? Which, Hext? Oh, yeah. We have Cult of Bathory is being streamed on Invisible Oranges. And Reign of Terror is currently on Cult Nation. But tomorrow, Obelisk is streaming the whole thing. The day before it's released, technically for sale, you can hear it all on the Obelisk tomorrow. Scott, why don't you show that album again, how beautiful it is here. One of the things that I really enjoy, aside from the great music, as I mentioned, is being a vinyl collector. Boy, that's another hysteria that's going on. I mean, dude, albums are going for like $30, $40. Like, what the fuck? But anyways, look at how beautiful that record is. So anyone... Very nice splatter vinyl. Anyone who loves to collect, add that to your collection. How can people get that? The red splatter, that's exclusive to us. So you can buy it at our shows or you can buy it at yidra.com. The black vinyl and the purple vinyl, I don't know. The red splatter and the purple vinyl are available through Black Voodoo. We also sell the black as well. So Black Voodoo, exclusive purple. We're exclusive red splatter. We both sell the black. And then on tour, you can get any of the three as well. And also, Hex is still available on double gold vinyl. Is that still available? Yeah. Oh, I thought that sold out. We sold out of our copies and then the label sent us more from their stash. Nice. Because they're in Germany and we're almost out though. Yeah. So you need to send us another batch or it's going to be sold out states-wise again. And how can people get a hold of, how can people purchase that album? Same, yidra.com. Yeah. Yidra.com. Everything is up on there. Yeah. All right. Let's listen to another song off this great EP here. One of the things that I want to mention is there's so many great bands in Los Angeles that are unfortunately not being recognized. Tonight, you're listening to one of them that are great.

And we ended with Lady of Fire by Sir Lord Baltimore off his album Kingdom Come. Yidira. We've been mentioning, obviously, the great new EP that just got released. One more time. This is on Black Voodoo Records. Make sure you go and pick it up. It's amazing. And you got a couple of dates that we mentioned you're playing up north. What else are you planning for the upcoming new year? What else is going on? You mentioned you're writing new material as we speak? Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I think we just sort of take it day as it goes. I could just see those three brain cells fighting. What were you smoking outside? What are you smoking outside? It's in the eyes. I wasn't smoking anything. Okay. Yeah. Tell us. Yeah. We're working on the EP. I don't partake, so I will say we are working on a new record. We're already writing for the new record. You guys are very productive, man. Are you guys always writing and playing? Well, yeah. Yeah. Because it's funny because at rehearsal, I'm going to talk too much. I shouldn't say. I forget our songs all the fucking time. We don't play them. We don't play them a lot. Because at home, that's what I'm saying. At home, I don't play the existing stuff. I'm always just trying. I'm trying to come up with other stuff. So if there's a song that we haven't played for a while, I'm like, oh, I got to listen to it. Would it be safe to say, and correct me if I'm wrong, Ted, but Dave, are you like the main co-writer of the band? Dave, are you the main co-writer? Yeah. When it comes to the music part, yeah. Really? Yeah. Okay. But he's written, okay, like on the EP, the instrumental song, Iron Mountain, Ted wrote that. Did you name that title after the band? Yes. Yes. Yes. Good Friends, Iron Mountain, that became Ancient Altar that we share a rehearsal spot with. Great guys. Yeah. We know Bill Tuck since we were kids in hardcore bands playing together. And when we were moving to downtown, DR1, which doesn't exist anymore, we had a spot. We were moving. We asked them to join us. You know, it's just the old, you know. Yeah, the great old days, a good community of bands. Where you supported each other. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. That's what we're all about. I mean, you know, you'll see me liking, supporting, you know, sharing, promoting other bands in the scene. Do you see that old school vibe out there now? No. Because you're in this circle. They're dicks, right? No, it's most of that shit. I'm going to be pretty frank right now. We do it. It's not reciprocated quite a bit. I think there's some other shit going on in this scene, even though it's small and there's whatever. We try to promote. We had bands, friends of ours bands playing like the Thief Show. We were overlooked for that. It's cool. We promoted it. We said, hey, check out these bands, whatever. We don't always get the same nod, but you know, fuck it. We're going to do what we're going to do. If people are going to be dicks and they can be dicks. Yeah. This is what's really interesting about not only this scene, but the fact of having that old school ethics. It's the fact that, you know what? Eventually somewhere down the line, you see someone rise and you see them fall, you know? So being sincere and being humble. It means a lot. I'm not saying that we're humble. I would say you are. Well, I mean, we're sort of honest. You're not a dick. If you were a dick, you wouldn't be here. I'm kind of a dick, but the truth of the matter is I still like. Are you moody? Huh? Are you moody? Are you moody like me? I'm pretty fucking moody. I am completely. Hell yeah. But I know this shit, you know what I'm saying? But ultimately, it doesn't matter. Like we still want to support and raise up our friends and the people that we think are good. It's not always reciprocated, but you know, whatever. But that's. You got to do what you got to do. Isn't that always been an LA thing though? Scott, you played back in the day in that circuit. Wasn't that like an LA thing back then too? Certain bands that, you know, just thought they were bigger than they are. If it was back then, it was really small. I mean, like we were lucky to be friends with Excel, Hyrax, Death, you know, Vermac, The Accused. I mean, Cryptic Solder, we just happened to hit the right time and we just, you know, got lucky to meet the bands that we did and we all just supported each other. So we were, it was just a different time than this. It's. Yeah, there's a camaraderie. Like even like the reason why COC got signed to Metal Blade was because Slayer said, we'll get you guys signed. Yeah. And we got signed because Caden gave Brian Slagle our demo and talked us up. And then, I mean, it was all who you're friends with, but we all, it wasn't like how it is. I was like, all who you know, it was everyone wanted to help everyone up because the scene was this big. Right. And nowadays it's like, oh, we're even. Right. Right. Right. It's this big. We can make a living. We can quit our jobs. Back then, as you know, we never fucking thought that. It was just more like, oh, we get to make a fucking record with Bill Mottoyer. That fucking rules. And I think in this day and age, everyone sees it as a job as opposed to these guys who do it for the love of it. And that's why the albums are so good. And that's why Bill Mottoyer works with them. That's why you like them. I like them. And I hate to say it. But in my mentality, same way. It's a dying breeze type of mentality. Like, hey, let me support this band that I like, regardless if it helps my band at all. I'm going to support you guys because I believe in your band. Yeah. Well, I mean, we'll wear our friends bands, shirts on stage, whatever. I mean, that's that's once again, it's because of the cloth that we were cut from. That's how we do shit. Yeah. Lots of people don't do shit the same way. It's a competition or something like that. Like somebody is like jealous or whatever of anything, you know, but we we work with Bill because he's bad. And he's done amazing stuff and he continues to do amazing stuff. And we're lucky to be on his radar. When I first found out about Hex, you know, we're going to record with. Well, actually, we did one song with him before. That's on our old first demo thing. I was totally stuck. Right. Bill Mottoyer. Like, right. The legend. He did every fucking record. Like, you know, I was one of the guys who would read all the shit. You know, I knew his name completely. I was like, son of a bitch. That's fucking awesome. Do trouble. And fucking right. Slayer. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Metal Massacre. I mean, you know, Metallica with Hit the Lights on there. I mean, he's... Do you see yourself working with Bill Mottoy in the future for your new tunes? Yeah. Of course. Do you feel that he has like that... Until he says... He knows the band very well in this studio. Until he's done with us. Until he says like, fuck you guys. Follow the cryptic slaughter rule on your third release. Stick with Bill Mottoy. Do not go against Bill Mottoy. No. We learned the hard way. Yeah. I mean, Bill Mottoy, I mean, I felt the same way with you guys when I met Bill and I knew we were recording with him. I was like, sitting in the same recording studio with him, I was going, there's a guy who just did fucking Shona Mercy, Hello Waits, Haunted the Chapel, Live Undead, and he's recording my band. But he's awesome. There's a reason why we're all still friends. I think he really does have a good view of the band and he really does bring out certain elements of the band very well when he records you. When he... This... We just go and play. He doesn't do any... Well, it's all done. But he's... We just show up. He's fucking sleeping when we're playing. Bill's not even there. It's me. When it comes to... Yeah. No, when it comes to the whole, the drum setup, like the way he makes the drums and all that kind of stuff, dude, Bill gets like crazy killer drum sound. Well, he does. He did a good job on this EP. Can I say one really quick story with Bill Mottoy and you guys? And I'm sorry to cut you off on this. No, it's all right. Fuck that guy, dude. Say what you have to say. Yeah. When we were there at Loaded watching you guys and Bill and I were talking and I was telling him how much I really like you guys. We were both loaded too, by the way. Loaded at Loaded? No, it wasn't that. There wasn't like a bromance going on, you know, but we were talking and I was just saying how much I like the production and how much I like the band and Bill's main word was like, yeah, that's why I record them because I like them too and I like what they do and that's why I want to record them and that's the kind of guy Bill is. Yeah. And that's the best compliment you can fucking ever draw. Totally. Totally. Absolutely. And it's an honor for sure and the idea that he would even, when I go, hey man, I think we're going to come in there and we want to record maybe a seven inch next or whatever, he's like, just fucking let me know. Yeah. Let's do it. I really think he does wonders with you guys. I mean, he really knows how to polish the band bird. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not saying shit about that. Not as good as you, buddy. You polished me way better. I think you should get him on the artwork and the guitar riffs as well. What is that? Put it in his face. Nobody polishes like Jimmy. He just flips you and just fucking play. Just play. Oh my God. Cult of Bathory. I'm not saying I fucking hate my guts. Cult of Bathory is Jitra's new EP.

Chester, take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Heavy rubber took a minute Struck your belt, stopped the thing Made a mess while you're in it Feel yourself start to sink Staring through a back of the line Lost inside the hazy ball Off the path, take a trip Back How you ever made it this far? Always seem to puzzle me Getting lost from where the rest are Nine times slapstick mystery Staring through a mess of life Lost inside the hazy ball Off the path, take a trip Back So lay down Kill the spell And go To the bottom Before you live Down below Down so deep Whispering I'm getting down asleep Trying to see if I can hear Staying through a mental lie Lost inside the haze and fog All the past taking a trip Far Wash over me Wash over me Wash over me Wash over me Wash over me Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It was a horrible thing to end it in. The war was laundering money. They say, trust us. Trust us. The people have brought us worthless wiretapping and other excesses eroding our civil liberties. Trust us. The greatest loss is to our freedom. Let's come back from self-united happiness. From the government ignoring the Constitution of the majority letting you get away. The orders of this country know the truth. It's called the American dream. But you have to be asleep to believe it. The American dream. The American dream. The American dream. The American dream. The American dream. I'll tell you one thing that every good soldier knows. The only thing that counts in the end is power. Naked merciless force. Creatured by blood and bloodshed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There we go. All right. Scott Peterson, what did we hear? Well, we started with Bombs by Battalion of Saints, off Battalion of Saints, and then Bog from Poison Idea, who are actually playing tonight at the Dollhood in Anaheim, and they're also playing Thursday at Alex's Bar, off their new album, Confused and Conquer, which is a great fucking record. A great fucking band. After that, we heard State Oppression by the almighty Italian raw power, off Screams from the Gutter. And speaking of Italian bands, we heard Mi Santa Trappo Ascensio Unco by the almighty Crippled Bastards. That was great. We didn't have to bring in our mighty... I sold it. I think Giulio from Crippled Bastards actually appreciated it. Say that again. That was pretty hot. Do it again. Mi Santa Trappo Ascensio Unco. I'm wet. That was amazing. That's all right. That's not too hard. I don't feel... But it's all right at the same time. And then we heard the American Dream Dead by Gnostic Front, and a song called... Which this band... A song called War of the Knife by my band, Cryptic Slaughter. You got some stuff coming up about Cryptic Slaughter. Why don't you tell us about that? Well, we have the stream... Conscious Reissue from FOAD. Great record label. Which, yeah, I mean, incredible record label. We've done Life and Grave demo with them.
