Direct Input Podcast

Matt Coe has been possessed by Heavy Metal since the 80s.  His obsession drove him to tape trading and eventually led into writing for various fanzines and Metal magazines.  Its in this episode that we hear the former co-editor of Snakepit Magazine (issues 5-12) talking about Heavy Metal thriving in the 80s and surviving in the 90s.  Today he's a senior writer for DeadRhetoric.com and continues to work tirelessly, still pushing new reviews and interviews every week. The man has a mind full of Metal that only an elite few can compete against.  Not everyone will live to experience the sound of 20,000 Heavy Metal albums, yet writers like Mr. Coe are simply "too weird to live and too rare to die" - Hunter S. Thompson. http://deadrhetoric.com/

Here we are on the scene of Metal Thursday #365. Can you imagine an entire calendar year of metal nights? Love is but a dream! After 10 years of slinging drinks at Ralph's, Yosh has left the building. Tonight we meet the new bartender along with the bands who are playing. Let me introduce you to everyone playing!

Behold the resurrection of Steve, who is now Terminator Metal Steve.  Upon the ashes of a smoky car wreck with a broken leg and tattered hip, thy phoenix has risen to glory.   Gather round for we shall recant affection for thy cuckamuck drum set, Darkness.  Hark as we rejoice about professional wrestling.  Join our congregation as we survey the battlement of Christian Metal and ride into the dawn of a new age of power and glory!

This episode features the first time I've ever used a LR microphone which ends up being a little over powered by myself. Although, considering I was standing under a PA that was pushing 85 decibels of Fates Warning – The Spectre Within, it doesn't sound that horrible in most spots. I definitely got a little caught off guard at one point, totally botching a spot on the patriarchy and I regret I didn't lash back properly. Then again, I don't edit stuff to make everything and everyone appear all perfect, so it's on me to fall on that sword.

This episode is years in the making. Back in 2005, Evan and I started Sexcrement, a Death Metal band based out of Framingham, MA. We had a reputation as the murphy's law of Death Metal .We were well known for having wild parties at our studio space and violent live shows. This is one of the first times in years we've actually sat down together and just shot the shit. Despite me leaving the band and how eventually the band came to a halt, we're both incredibly fond our time spent being in a band together. Behold this fatal portrait of young American men playing Death Metal in their early 20s.

Sam Kirsch is the lead guitar player in Abnormality and I've been thrilled to be playing along side him for 3 years now. When Sam isn't writing vicious music, working out, reading or working, he's devoted to a Masters degree in Gender Studies. Here we are at the end of the semester and it's time for you to get a crash course in humanities. This is a fairly in depth discussion about male masculinity in the modern west and how it shapes us as a civilization. Yes, we talk about Death Metal and of course we talk about our feelings. https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Sam_Kirsch/558069 https://abnormality.bandcamp.com/ https://storyofstuff.org/ Donkey Sex: The Bizarre Tradition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKWLC87Uzw

Today is November 21, 2017 and if you search 'Gene Simmons Heckler' on YouTube, Josh Martin of Anal Cunt will draw up a full page of results. Josh makes a triumphant return to DIP after going viral for heckling Gene Simmons in Providence, Rhode Island - I've included links to the account referenced below. Some have suggested that Mr. Martin should be entitled a refund, while millions around the world maintain that Gene is still in fact a dick.

This episode was tracked upstairs at Ralph's Rock Diner prior to doors opening at Metal Thursday #358 with Immolation, Outer Heaven, Desolate and Summoning Hate. Join me as I roam around admist the sound check. Hear me yuck it up with members of Desolate, Immolation and several fans who are amped to see the show that night. Immolation wasn't notified at all about this interview other than the short briefing you'll here me give, so not only are they awesome for being real enough to answer questions, they're also the shit for keeping me in my place. It's probably my most startling fan boy interview to date and I hope you enjoy the cringe. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Immolation/194 https://immolation.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/immolation] https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Desolate/35034 https://desolatema.bandcamp.com/album/imperator-of-flames https://www.facebook.com/pages/Desolate-MA-/144545115592299

Brian and John both of the infamous band, Drive By Bukkake stop by Ralph's Rock Diner to hype up their latest gimmick entitled Crucial Loads. We talk about a variety of subjects while maintaining a clear and present level of stupidity. Obviously professional wrestling comes up as we reflect at their undisputed reign with Neckbreak Podcast, which is now coming to an sad end. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Drive-By_Bukkake/3540310299 https://tinyurl.com/dbbvin https://www.facebook.com/dbbthrash http://nbpodcast.weebly.com/

This a premier fire side chat episode. Mike Shea ran a Patriots Fan blog called Patskrieg and is a life long Massachusetts native, who grew up in the hardcore and metal scenes. It just so happened that this dude, who's also my fantasy football commissioner, got booked on goddamn edgeday-he's like the only one I know still at it. We talk about the Massacusetts scene from the early part of the century and eventually get to a pretty extensive discussion about football, the deflategate controversy and sports in general. Along the way we discuss why Trump's presidency is related to professional wrestling and how Tom Brady is really just John Cena. I even included an appearance from my neighbor who shows up after hitting a deer with his car. https://patskrieg.com/ https://www.facebook.com/patskrieg/ https://www.yourteamcheats.com

Every once and awhile I attend a show without knowing anything at all about any of the bands. This is one of those shows, so here were are at Metal Thursday #355. Roaming nomad interviews like this are unpredictable as fuck. OFF WORLD sound checked at the last minute and that shows up viciously at the end of this. It's like you're really there, listening to Accept - Eat the Heat.

FEAR THE RETURN! Hear me gallop upon the battle ground as I roam amongst a scene of Heavy Metal killing machines! Blood Feast is an absolute American Trash Metal beast that fucking rules! Reckless Force are New Hampshire's premiere hard and heavy rolling thunder. Ravage is the only Heavy Power Metal band in Massachusetts that's always been true as fuck. I'll that get a pop screen soon, don't worry. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Blood_Feast/509 https://www.facebook.com/Blood-Feast-Official-143897902293996/ https://www.facebook.com/recklessforceofficial/ https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ravage/679 https://www.facebook.com/RavageTheEarth/

Behold the ramblings of a newlywed married American Male. Hear me recant and rant through a stream of conciousness that reflects all sorts of shit. Details include bbqing at our wedding party, tree house brewery in charlton, dunkirk, plus a recap of recently past episodes that went down and several others that didn't pop off.

Far away in the desolate madness of Michigan, you'll find a brillant Black Thrash Metal band that is an American treasure. Their name is Sauron and they are one of the baddest 3 pieces to emerge from this rotten continent since the year 2000. This episode features the band as they are set to appear on the eve of destruction as the headliner for Metal Thursday #349 . Get swept away by the roar of the industrial fan as we address a variety of topics such as disappointing Judas Priest albums, the Detriot Lions, How to Drop Off a Tour Without Looking Like Assholes, and a certain particular Michigan past time activitity of peeing on Marshall cabs. Sauron is rotten and ready to cast absolute hell with black sorcery, as their twisted metal brains summon blood for a savage blade, with one foot in the grave on a conquest of attrition.

Matt O'Dette is a former radio DJ for the Nasty Habits radio program which used to be on 88.9 WERS (Emerson College/Boston, Massachusetts). The Nasty Habits program started in 1983 and was a critical source of Metal and Hardcore for thousands upon thousands of listeners in the greater Boston area for over 20 years. Just prior to his band Cynicism making their debut at Metal Thursday #348, we discuss the current state of Death Metal. Feel the roar the Ralph's industrial fan as we preach about the virtues of a pre-digital scene as well as the abundance of Metal in New England. A big hearty CHEERS! to the fellas in Cynicism for hooking me up with a 24 oz. can of their own beer entitled, 'Justifiable Hopicide' which was brewed in Newton, MA at Hopsters. https://www.facebook.com/CynicismOfficial/ https://www.discogs.com/Various-Nasty-Habits-Live-On-889-WERS/release/8851215 http://www.hopstersbrew.com/

The following episode is my second attempt at a single mic roaming interview. I basically did a lap around the palladium and happened to walk into Max (Bassist) and Alan (Drummer) both of the Black Dahlia Murder who are headling the 2017 Summer Slaughter Fest. Later on I meet up with Eliot Bayless of Blender Method Productions. We encounter a corpse painted fellow for one of the bands that played today. I then stumble upon the Magnetar Studio crew who is filming the new Dying Fetus, they also did the new Obituary video entitled 'Sentence Day'. I close things out by talking with the dudes who have the best parking space at the fest and then smoke a cigarette with a plumber from NH. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/The_Black_Dahlia_Murder/5450 http://www.tbdmofficial.com/ https://theblackdahliamurder.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theblackdahliamurderofficial https://www.instagram.com/theblackdahliamurder_official/ https://twitter.com/bdmmetal https://www.youtube.com/user/blackdahliamurder
