S15E12 – Weight of the Tide: Carry That Weight
We had the great heavy metal rockers Weight of the Tide on our humble podcast and they didn’t disappoint. Mark Moots’ heavy guitar and powerful vocals, Marcus Mayhall’s superb bass, Jason Thomas’ masterful drums and absent from the show, Jes Phipps also on guitar and vocals, provided us tracks from their latest album What Pale Victory, and it rips.
Prog metal heads with passion and precision. We talk about the groups life and journey in music. They are so pure metal that in 2018 they were invited to the UK for the “number one” heavy metal festival; Bloodstock! That year legendary bands like Judas Priest and Gojira headlined a stacked lineup. WotT really are Reno metal giants who couldn’t be more humble, with statements like “it’s just heavy metal it’s not rocket science“ and “it takes a lot of work to be mediocre”. They’re not. They understand, navigate and execute the metal like it’s second nature, hell I’d say like it’s FIRST nature!
Their songs are like epic metal mini movies for your third ear. The shortest song is 5 minutes long, the others are 7-9 minutes of twists and turns and glorious metal with bite like Pantera but cosmic exploration like Queensryche or Coheed and Cambria.
So come along and enter the other worldly sounds of Weight of the Tide, shred and soar!
The quiz is played and we have another rare hosting appearance by Thee Reverend Rory Dowd!
Horns up! Stank face! Thrash and shred until you’re dead!
After all, life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.
