by EARBVDS
We love music. And we're buds. And we're so very trve. We're EARBVDS! In Earbuds, we review and talk about music (mostly metal). Old stuff. Recent stuff. Stuff that made us the passionate musicians and metal aficionados that we are today. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we disagree. Sometimes we tear each other apart. But we'll always have fun along the way. There might also be guests. Who knows? This is the beginning of a journey... Want to be our Earbud?

<p>The ink – and the tears! – have barely dried on the records of our EARBVM-of-the-year episode, and yet we’re already back in the saddle with a fresh one. Tune in, as we are joined by not one, not two, but three (!!!) guests (and a new-ish team member) for the first series of 2025 reviews, and our most ambitious recording session yet. Needless to say, some things went wrong with the audio, not least because the grand master of audio wizardry for the first time in recorded podcast history trusted his callow apprentice with post-production sorcery, and well, what can I say ... “Spirits that I’ve cited, my commands ignore” ... But be that as it may, we trust in your patience as well as your reflexes when it comes to adjusting the volume on your audio device, and, in turn, are confident that we have nevertheless prepared a tremendously exciting episode for you!</p><p><br></p><p>For this episode, three slithering serpents in black and white have come out of the woodwork to join our sacrilegious sssnakepit: the extremely committed, fantastically knowledgeable, monumentally monochrome, and wonderfully witty Jakob, Janick, and Nadja from Saarland’s trvest den of underground anguine facilitators: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/corpsepaintcobra.info?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Corpsepaint Cobra</a>! </p><p><br></p><p>After some conversation with our ophidian guests, we discuss another eclectic selection of heavy music, including the recent releases by <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1ckvLDuoqCdLlqLSITXcjT?si=42TcapBFRCaQk3H-w_rs7w" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Heisskalt – Vom Tun und Lassen</a> (00:25:46), <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0axS4YlYa1FxtNPbouRE69?si=xfz6wAOxTCuKi8rx87pFiw" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jinjer – Duél</a> (00:42:45), <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6LMshWf9f0CCrXzF48ifsq?si=qYuboB5BSsu2j_F44zssmg" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Crush Your Soul – Living Gracious</a> (00:54:08), <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/26yiCEJHL1CGYcjnLSPTQP?si=wl0IDY2jQNe0dtMIP9rk8A" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Zero Absolu – La Saignée</a> (01:06:27), and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3HcKNLwUqCrMcX0fqqkp7W?si=pU5vHU9vSoqAL-oeQxqsrA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Eidola – Mend</a> (01:24:45).

<p>Here we go again! Its second outing, and already a fan favorite and a trve cvlt classic: The EARBVM of the Year returns!</p> <p>In this special episode, we look back at what a fantastic year 2024 has been for heavy music. Join us in the monumentally tasking and agonizingly difficult quest to find the one trve album that might unite us all, as we move swiftly as ever through a total of 83 (!!!) albums, desperately hoping that one of them might turn out to be the undisputed EARBVM of the Year 2024.</p> <p>Unexpected twists at every turn, ferociously wild wildcards, chaos, carnage, mayhem and debauchery, but also joy ... and a couple of bittersweet pills to swallow ...</p> <p>No guest(s) in this episode (or are there...?), save for our very own audio wizard Stefan, who has descended from his high castle of sonic perfection to humor us with his impeccable taste, as well as our very own social media sorceress Jil, who, too, has emerged from the shadows of off-mic obscurity to grace us with her illuminating insights.</p> <p>Also, no detailed show notes on the albums we cover this time, because, well, obviously, no spoilers, dah.</p> <p>As always, there is a <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Hr6sao3DxdUZTIb4gm37D?si=8b052665484e450a">Spotify-playlist</a> to complement your (extra long) listening delight (however, it’s randomized and in no particular order, because, again, no spoilers). </p> <p>And one more thing: We’re on Discord now! <a href="https://discord.gg/NaHFJ3NR">Come join the cult</a>! We would love for you to join the Earbvds family and talk music with us! </p> <p>Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/earbvds666/">@earbvds666</a></p> <p>Covert Art: © <a href="https://www.instagram.com/frnzmn/">franzbrand</a></p> <p>Music: © <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neverland.thomas/">Thomas Kuhn</a></p> <p>Special Thanks to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dock11.saarland/">Dock 11</a> for accommodating us in their lovely studio!</p>
