On this episode, Ryan (@galacticdad) and I recorded something after six weeks of planning off of the speakers of his laptop because we both have brain damage. We attempt some historical revisionism and try to act like deathcore is a real genre, mostly succeeding in my opinion. You be the judge.
My choices for the precedents of deathcore:
Damonacy (1991)
Internal Bleeding - Voracious Contempt (1995)
Suffocation - Pierced From Within (1995)
Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline (1998)
Despised Icon - The Healing Process (2005)
Antagony - Rebirth (2005)
Job for a Cowboy - Doom (2005)
Ryan's choices for modern deathcore:
The Faceless - Akeldama (2006)
Born of Osiris - The New Reign (2007)
Veil of Maya - The Common Man's Collapse (2008)
Oceano - Depths (2009)
Whitechapel - A New Era of Corruption (2010)

An Ode to Death
The return of Jon aka @AnalGender sees us taking a look at the incredible career Chuck Schuldiner and his seminal band Death. We do a breakdown of what made them so special, what each album brings to the table, and the ways in which Lil Yachty and Coldplay can be mentioned on a heavy metal podcast. Join in the conversation at @LakeDragging and most importantly, go listen to Death to gain a greater appreciation for extreme metal and all the myriad ways that Chuck is the godfather of whatever genre you like.

Hey John, What's Your Podcast Again?
This week's guest, Manny (@allstarbatmanny), goes into detail about albums that brought him closer to comfort with his emotions and internal strife.

The Artist In The Ambulance - Thrice
O God, The Aftermath - Norma Jean
Vol. 3 - Slipknot
Creature - Within The Ruins

The Podcaster Who Sold The World
My dear friend and musical guru Greg joins the show to talk about some classic rock, the British invasion, and how cool it was that David Bowie covered a Nirvana song. We talked about the essentials from last week's episode and some instructive cuts that laid the groundwork thematically, culturally, and sonically for heavy metal. We use the word "theatricality" a lot.
Greg's picks for this show:
The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie
Wheels of Fire - Cream
Queen II
Hit me up at @LakeDragging on twitter and introduce yourself to Greg at @gjrussoltd!

Rime of the Ancient Podcaster
I check out some essential albums of the early 80's that gave metal an identity and confidence in itself that would allow for future generations to experiment, some albums that scored my teenage breakdowns, and some albums that are heinously bad in sometimes interesting ways.
Personal picks:
Blood Mountain by Mastodon
End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage
Issues by Korn
Essential picks:
Powerslave by Iron Maiden
Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest
Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath
Horrible albums that Jon made me listen to:
The Unspoken King by Cryptopsy
Illud Divinum Insanus by Morbid Angel
Cold Lake by Celtic Frost

Phoenix In Flight
On the previous episode, Marcus tasked me with researching the turn of the 80s and the development of thrash seemingly out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. What I discovered is that there were a lot of interwoven threads that brought us to the Bay Area fellas who loves drinking, high top Nikes, and sick guitar solos. I also reveal some choice albums from my own personal perspective and albums that I deem essential to anyone looking into the genre.
Personal:
Reign In Blood by Slayer
Slipknot by Slipknot
Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God
Essential:
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jane Doe by Converge
Arc by Agoraphobic Nosebleed

When Acting As A Wave
The first official (and very messy) episode will see us discussing albums from Pig Destroyer, Every Time I Die, Black Sabbath, and more along with the canon and how it has been formed over time. Who gets to define the canon? Can or should it evolve? Most importantly, why should we care? Tune in and don't forget to keep the conversation going on twitter @lakedragging or through an email correspondence lakedragging@gmail.com.

An Introduction Is In Order
People have told me for a long time that I should make a podcast, so let's give it a shot. Worst case scenario is that it sucks and I decide to never do it again, right?
