(November 2024) Episode 613 is NAILS, a contemporary extreme metal/punk band that exists in that liminal space between hardcore punk and thrash and death metal, at times called grindcore. Whatever the label, it’s a mack truck of howls and thunder riffs hitting your face at 100 mph. Displaying its punk side, the songs are short, giving you time to take a breath between.
Favorite album: You Will Never Be One Of Us
Favorite song: Into Quietus
Compared to expectations: ↑
Recommendation: If you like things at the extreme, this may be for you.

We had Nails on for a dinner with corn on the cob with a good humored guest of our girls visiting. We speed ate that corn on the cob.
To that end, yes – Nails is pretty much the edge of speed, assault, thrash, and fun. But also something useful for getting cult leaders to end the stalemate in their compound. In that way, a very utilitarian band.
