Small correction: Contaminated are of course from Melbourne, not Sydney - but they played the Sydney leg of the Mortiferum tour!

Why you don't like AC/DC? Just curious

That bluesy hard rock sound does nothing for me. Sometimes I feel like a fake Aussie as I don't like any of the pub rock bands from the 70s-80s haha.

The ultimate crossover event of 2024.

Haha cheers!

Good call on ac/dc. All downhill since Bon Scott. That’s a long downhill. Great trip!

I'm a pretend Aussie I think, the pub rock bands AC/DC, The Angels, Chisel etc. never did anything for me.

Geoff is the best. Great to see you both collaborating.

Hahaha of course you do! Apparently the cd edition has the first demo on it too, so if you haven't got that maybe that's the way

Glad you are well! Good to see you and Jeff together…. LEGENDS

Another great shopping trip video! Subbed to your friend Geoff's channel and I'm excited to go through his backlog of vids! P.S. I see that Valdrin album in the background--great black metal record!

You have a good eye! Valdrin will appear in the black metal update when I get to it, probably early February.

Two top lads going about their business. Some stellar pick-ups. Malignant Altar are great. Feel the same about Raspberry Bulbs as you Simon.

Yeah Geoff needed that Malignant Altar in his life. I tried to get him to pick up the split with Gosudar as well but he gave me stinkeye.

@@ExplosiveAction The Curse of the Recalcitrant Aussie

I caught one of Mendicant Media's videos in my youtube feed and watched a bit of a it a few days ago and than he pops up in your video. Which answered my question where he was from, my initial thought was Australia but I became a little unsure the more I listened to him talk. As for that I, Voidhanger record, that label is 70/30 for me. Around 70% of their releases I end up being interested in, than there are the other releases that are just too out there or not metal. The band in question, I believe you showed Neptunian Maximalism, is strongly in the 30%.

@ExplosiveAction

Cheers mate. Geoff is a good bloke, I am in Sydney and he is Canberra about 3-4 hours drive from me but he came up for the Mortiferum gig. Yeah I Voidhanger is either eclectic black metal or way-out-there weirdness. Mare Cognitum is probably my favourite band on their roster.

Beer followed by ice cream? Outrageous!

That Neptunian Maximalism album sucked. The Triple album from 2020 had amazing artwork and was incredible.
