Juggalo Judgment

This year I've found myself on the opposite end of the Schmeevburger experience, as I have returning guests bringing albums to me that I've never heard before! This week we'll be traveling back to hear how a band feels about the increasing influence of the religious right in American politics through the mid 2000s with Protest The Hero's concept album Kezia.

All the love to Erik for joining me, go listen to ICP w/We and Fukkfaace and other projects he's done at www.icpwwe.com!

With the church up and running the Xul boys have been doing so much work in the community! I sure hope nothing happens in the very beginning of Mauxuleum to derail that!

Mike, please tell us all about Ma's Linoleum and why AXE got Monoxide on a track for a singing chorus.

We're goin' to church! Crack open your bibles and feast upon the nut within as we go on a little hike to see how these AXE boys handle their first EP with this Lee Carver guy!

In 2019, Majik Ninja Entertainment was ready to release one of their biggest albums to date in Twiztid's Generation Nightmare. But on that very same day, Ninjas and Xuligans were also treated to a new project from the blasphemous trio of Alla Xul Elu. With their style of dark, sacrilegious rap, the group would continue to flesh out their lore, with Lee Carver well establishing his presence as a natural fit. How does Schmeev feel about this EP? Find out today as he enters... Church Of Xul.

We've arrived at an album that I've at least gotten one prior listen to! On VINYL no less! We finally get an introduction to Elu after 3 albums of him being in the name, and who knows how the dynamic will change?

In 2018, Monoxide of Twiztid said that at that year's Gathering Of The Juggalos, Majik Ninja Entertainment would be represented. Speculation ran rampant as, to the knowledge of fans, the "beef" between Psychopathic and MNE was still going strong. Mere weeks after The Gathering ended, it was revealed that Alla Xul Elu, who had performed at GOTJ, were on Majik Ninja and would be releasing their newest LP in September. This time around, the group added new member Lee Carver into the fray, and now the trio were set to "re-debut" to a whole new audience of the underground with MNE's backing. How does this fare for group? How does Schmeev feel about it? Find out today as he does his deep dive into... The Almighty.

3 episodes in and we're already remaking classic films. Where many would paint this as a group out of ideas, I see it as a group showing bravado and saying "FUCK YOU RAIMI, JUST WAIT TILL WE GET TO SPIDERMAN"

Who loves weed? You? You? How about you? Well Alla Xul Elu loves weed. They love weed so much they decided to make an EP about it. It almost feels like you can consider yourself and underground rap artist if you don't, but it DOES help when you have a cool concept around it. Like The Wizard Of Oz or something. I wonder if anyone's done that before...

Anyways, A.X.E. took inspiration from Evil Dead and came up with Necronomichron. How does Schmeev handle all this dark and dank goodness? Find out today!

Wow I made it a whole 2 albums on my own, can you believe it?? Things are going well as we dive into a bit of an expansion of the Allaverse, meeting some new characters and giving them their own tracks here and there.

Alla Xul Elu released their sophomore album, Sci-Co Volume 1, just 8 months after their debut, on October 17, 2015.

Where Head of Horns was an introduction to Billy Obey and Joe Black’s aesthetic and sound, Sci-Co Volume 1 was a very experimental album featuring a variety of styles, topics and a number of guest performers. 

The title, “Sci-Co” comes from Alla Xul Elu’s home in Scioto County, OH. The idea was to include guest appearances from other musicians from the Scioto County area but expanded to include everyone from Dark Half’s Geno Cultshit to Mastamind of Natas.

The resulting record is a mix of upbeat party songs, bleak horrorcore, nostalgic odes to childhood in the 1990s and boastful battle raps.

In the darkest hour when content is slightly less frequent than usual, one hero arises to drop some some low effort stuff to tide you over until the regular schedule resumes. Schmeev will be taking a jaunt through the works of these AXE guys over the coming however long it takes to get through 7-8 albums!

Billy Obey and Joe Black, known collectively as Alla Xul Elu, released their debut album Head Of Horns in 2015 independently on their label Long Live Evil. With dark imagery over boom bap beats, the duo would start a proverbial reign of terror in the midwest, making a name for themselves in the underground.

Alright, hear me out. I know country is a far cry from what our general audience is into, even for the Boonshot weirdos out there, but this isn't just ANY country album. Back in 2014, I went to a week long getaway with a bunch of amazing guitarists to enjoy clinics, jam sessions, all kinds of stuff. One of the people I met there later posted a partial cover of a song that I would have thought was from one of those guitarists who's famous only among guitarists, but no. It's none other than Brad Paisley, who I later came to understand is one hell of a musician. Today is about taking a journey through an album all about showcasing that ability, Brad Paisley's 2008 album, Play: The Guitar Album.

Aaron is a real peach for joining me on this one, and you can find his show ICP w/We at www.icpwwe.com, check out Fukkfaace at https://fukkfaace.bandcamp.com, and watch him stream on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/gristlemedia!

Around 2008 I was working at a Sunoco, providing an upscale neighborhood with the official fuel of NASCAR, and from time to time a certain song would come on the radio. I couldn't look things up on a phone back then, and relied on writing what lyrics I could pick up and searching them later. That song was the big single from this album, which I quickly picked up and began listening to nearly nonstop. From peppy pop punk, to somber horror ballads, to whatever the fuck Go-Getter Greg is, I loved every minute, and now I'd like to share it with a friend, and also with all of you. So sit down, queue up Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986) starring David Bowie, and join us on our adventure through Ludo's 2008 sophomore release You're Awful, I Love You.
