ANDY WILLIAMS: Every Time I Die, AEW, & The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling (4K Re-Upload)
Rest in peace to the universally beloved Andy "The Butcher" Williams of Every Time I Die, Atomic Rule and All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to leading by example, Andy was THE ultimate example to follow from the moment you met him. A beacon of kindness, the benchmark of cool, and an unbreakable pillar of love and support to everyone in his life. To know Andy was to love Andy, but more importantly, to know Andy was to feel loved by Andy.Andy was our second ever guest on HardLore, and technically our 3rd ever recorded episode. In his honor, we've upscaled this original episode to 4K to preserve this important conversation in the highest possible quality. We will love and miss Andy forever and I can't wait to hear the band that he and Bo will surely be working on. Goodbye my friend.Originally aired May 11th, 2022:"Colin and Bo welcome Andy Williams to the show to recount some of his favorite tour stories, from his early days touring with Buried Alive, his long tenure with Every Time I Die, and how he went on to be able to balance his music career with wrestling full time for AEW as half of The Butcher and The Blade."__________00:00:00 - Remembering Andy Williams00:05:29 - 10 Bell Salute00:05:58 - HardLore Episode 4: Andy Williams00:07:01 - The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling00:11:53 - What Set Andy on a New Path00:17:13 - Andy & Buried Alive00:22:54 - Andy's Music Taste Refining00:30:08 - Andy Asks the Worst Places We've Stayed On Tour00:35:22 - ETID's 1 Star Hotel Gimmick00:39:19 - Andy Tour Stories00:48:04 - Balancing AEW & ETID00:52:32 - Andy Loves Little Gear Now, Tour Stories Cont.00:58:29 - Wrestlers and Their Musical Interests01:03:27 - Wrestling Is Songwriting01:11:16 - ETID Setting the Example For Touring Bands01:16:45 - Andy on the End of ETID

ARTHUR RIZK: Master of Extreme Music Production (War Hungry, Sumerlands, Eternal Champion)
We're joined by Pennsylvania's own ARTHUR RIZK! Longtime friend of the show and expert producer/engineer of all things extreme.Before discussing his work with bands like Blood Incantation, Power Trip, the Cavaleras, Cro-Mags, Kreator (and so many more)... We discuss Arthur's background as the once reluctant guitar player of legendary PA Hardcore band WAR HUNGRY, which lead to him finding his footing in the hardcore community in the early oughts as a young metalhead. These days Arthur is juggling his time as a musician between COLD WORLD, ETERNAL CHAMPION and SUMERLANDS when he's not manning the board for metal's biggest bands.We're also joined once again by guest co-host and another modern great in extreme music engineering, our very own Taylor Young. This is a fascinating deep dive into the world of hardcore, metal & punk production with two of the greatest minds currently doing it.

GOD'S HATE: Won't Be Disgraced Deep Dive W/ Anna Zanes
For the very first time on HardLore, the interviewer becomes the interviewee… Myself, Brody King and Taylor Young of GOD’S HATE sit down with Anna Zanes, who up until just days ago was the editor in chief of Alternative Press, to deep dive into the development and intention of our brand new 12” EP, WON’T BE DISGRACED.In our own words… Won’t Be Disgraced is a dense, urgent collection of 3 songs driven by grief and the state of the greater hardcore community and beyond.Your mind can be your most powerful tool or a weapon used against you in your darkest moments, and the only guaranteed way to fail yourself and your loved ones is to quit.As the world continues to be destroyed from within by greed, religious extremism, and 24 hour news cycles of division and violations of human rights… It has never been more apparent that all we have is each other. Use your hate to make a change. Don’t be disgraced.Dedicated to Bohan Daniel Lueders.You can stream all three songs and pre-order the record now: https://www.godshate.usYou can support a few of the other journalists who were recently laid off below: • https://andrewsacher.substack.com/• https://soundbitesnyc.substack.com/_____________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, edited and mixed by Steven Grise Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf • Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes• Join the HARDLORE DISCORD • Get 15% off DUNABLE GUITARS with code HARDLORE.

CARRY ON: Ryan George & Todd Jones on A Life Less Plagued, Breaking Edge & Reuniting
HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band... This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band. X's always win.____________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, Mixed & Edited by Steven GriseTitle sequence by Nicholas Marzluf • Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episode.• Join the HARDLORE DISCORD.• Get 10% off GUILTY PARTY site-wide with code HARDLORE and grab some of our favorite clothing brands of all time.• Get 10% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE.____________00:00:00 - Start00:01:13 - Hello Welcome00:02:18 - Ryan Finding Hardcore & Meeting Todd00:07:19 - Becoming Straight Edge / Strife's Influence in the 90s00:12:37 - Persevere / Ryan's First Band00:16:14 - CARRY ON00:23:44 - Revisiting Carry On Lyrics / The Line Is Drawn 7"00:31:07 - Pickle Patch00:32:04 - Roll With The Punches / Todd Joining Carry On00:40:57 - Off My Chest00:46:14 - Pardon This Interruption...00:48:15 - American Nightmare & Signing to Bridge Nine00:52:25 - A Life Less Plagued01:16:27 - Ryan Questioning Hardcore & Straight Edge01:19:37 - Breaking Edge01:22:56 - Terror01:24:02 - Reconciling Post Edge Break01:26:42 - Ending Carry On01:28:58 - New Carry On Material?01:31:40 - Carry On Ends, Terror Begins01:33:35 - Hearing The Terror Demo01:34:19 - Last Shows At Showcase Theater01:41:30 - Youth Code01:44:24 - The Carry On Coke Lines Shirt01:46:22 - Carry On From 2005 - 202501:52:48 - Expectations Going Into the Upcoming Sets01:54:53 - Tied Down, Returning to the Stage01:58:28 - Theoretically Giving Up On Music02:01:18 - Youth Code And Getting Into Industrial Music02:09:55 - Veganism02:13:29 - Top 4 Hardcore Records
