*** PODCAST #186 Dylan (Valatie, Mira Corpora, Jam Econo, etc.) ***

    I've directly and indirectly crossed paths with Dylan Jockel a bunch of times, so after running into him again at ZBR Fest 2025 I figured it was time to get him on. I learned a lot in this episode, including the mind-blowing fact that he was in Excrucis, which you can literally hear break my brain. Be sure to check out his newest project Valatie which dropped a debut album this year as well as a music video (embedded below) and Youtube channel @jamecono. Some things we touched on: the death of Brian Wilson, how to handcuff a friend to the couch and force them to watch UHF, ranking Nirvana, playing in Wrestle Crow & Excrucis, the Sleeper Wave connection, Twin Cities Screamo love, afraid of death, screamo famous, how to play screamo guitar, Dave's video demands, etc. Bands played in this podcast: .22LR, Au Bout De Mes Lèvres, The Critic, The Greek Favorites, and Spoiled Brat. Listen to podcast #186 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.

*** ALL YOU HAVE exclusive song premiere ***

ALL YOU HAVE

"Shrouded"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Itto, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Via Fondo and Kidcrash

Bandcamp (becomes active Aug 3rd)

      When Jesse Mowery asks you to premiere something for a band of his, even if you haven't heard it yet, it's an automatic yes. With the exception of Edie Quinn and Tom Schlatter, there aren't many others that come to mind as being as prolific and simultaneously incredible as Mr. Mowery. And as I listen to his new project with friends Azeem and Loki (both of whom have been absorbed by Apostles Of Eris' live lineup) my assumptions are totally based. This fucking rocks, and isn't too far removed from AOE, In Wolves Clothing, and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow. Utilizing intricate, mesmerizing instrumentation, mind-blowing drums, and an insane juxtaposition of light/dark contrasting and multiple vocalists, the songs are ridiculously dense and enveloping, revealing more and more amazingness with each subsequent listen. You can check out "Shrouded" below as the single premiere, but my god it was tough choosing one because all of these songs are incredible and have their own flavor. Full release is August 3rd! Already, I cannot wait for the next material!!!

Here's some info on the band: ALL YOU HAVE formed in April 2024 after Azeem, Loki, and Jesse had talked about starting a band together for a while beforehand, as Azeem and Loki had played In Humanitarian Deficit together, and Azeem and Jesse played in In Wolves Clothing. Loki suggested adding Sebastian from Donald Shimoda on a bass after a couple of months, and once he was in we just started churning out song after song. We recorded a song for the Combustion Vol 4 compilation for Sparx Megazine that was released in January, and now we bring you 7 more tunes on our new demo. The songs talk about life, being weird, the ocean, mold, and more. All of the instruments were recorded live in our practice space 7/16/25

     Considering how much sick screamo is coming out, it's harder for me to immediately latch on to bands that I hear. Thank the lord of science almighty that I clicked on the link for CHEVALIER because this five-song debut is fucking incredible. Imagine French/Italian screamo with an injection of emo-violence and hints of metallic hardcore clashing with Senza, and you've entered the ballpark. The songs generally fly by in dense balls of rage, with the occasional slowdown to stop your brain from exploding. Opener "Senza alcun segno di amore di addio o di riconoscimento" and track two's "Ora so ciò che nessun angelo sa" follow this trajectory, but by track three we reach "Preangerstraat 26" and "Si chiuse stanca la ferita" which go harder than anything else here. The former borders on early .gif from god material with dual vocals and dark/ominous overtones, while the latter goes very fast and borders on Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead during its most destructive. Closer "In forme lucenti e silenziose" is another rager more in line with tracks three and four, giving the closing 60% of this EP the most heftiest of nods, and the first 40% a decent hi-five.
