In this episode, The Booty Blood Boys™ are joined by a very special guest, fan, and friend of the show, The Shadowy One! The Bud Blasé Boyz™ learn how The Shadowy One became a fan of their silly lo-fi and low culture podcast. They discuss the New York City metal scene vibes and community and whether either has been affected by the closure of St. Vitus. They explore the generational divide between the sincerity of older metal fans and musicians versus the self-aware irony of younger metal fans and musicians. They also analyze the dark world of fascist cottagecore and tradwife cultures. All of this and much, much more!

During our talk, Shelby compares touring in the United States with touring in Europe. With Shelby, the Booty Blasting Boyz™ pontificate why small-town shows can be some of the best shows.

036: WAR METAL IS HELL! RATIONING TORTILLA SOUP AND ROOK PIE WITH CRYPTOFASCIST WARTIME HOUSEWIVES (ft. GORN)
In this episode, the Bud Blazting Boyz get to the bottom of the issues that really matter: what are their favorite soups, and what kind of metal do their favorite soups match most closely to? They investigate the Venn diagram showing the overlap of wooks, those who have sacred geometry tattoos, and those who sell the best weed. They discuss how sports are just a civil representation of war for societies’ warrior castes. Finally, they critique the crypto (and sometimes not so crypto) fascism prevalent in war metal. Also, Judge Dredd gets more drunk in this episode than in any other Butt Blast episode, so that's fun!

034: NU-METAL MAGIC: THE GATHERING OF THE RPG FAITHFUL (AN INTERVIEW WITH GARRY BRENTS)
In this episode, the Butte Blazzst Boyezzz™ talk with a very special guest by the name of Garry Brents. Garry is the prolific solo artist behind projects such as Sallow Moth, Homesick, and Gonemage, as well as being one half of underground legends, the now-defunct Cara Neir. However, Garry is currently probably most well-known for Memorrhage, a project that incorporates a healthy dose of 90s nu-metal magic combined with metallic hardcore, grind, and industrial metal influences. Memorrhage has been covered by a wide array of underground metal publications as well as national news outlets, such as NPR. During the Buddt Bladd Beauz™ talk with Garry, they explore the reasons behind the confounding return of nu-metal and how Garry balances the pop-oriented aspects of nu-metal with the aggression of Garry’s other influences. They examine the significance of 90s nostalgia for millennials and zoomers. Finally, they discuss the impact that role-playing games, and specifically Magic: The Gathering, have had on Garry’s creative voice.
