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.
