Say cheese, bvds – because this week, we’re back with another R-rated episode – R stands for r-chitect, obviously – full of refreshing opinions, rambunctious anecdotes, and ridiculous analogies. Once again, we’re joined by a fantastic guest, the amazingly talented and enigmatically handled Ronja (@whoiskatharina), Saarland’s stealthiest scene sharpshooter, capturing riffs, sweat, and occasional existential crises through her ever-watchful lens. R you ready to rumble? Hold still, as we pose for the ultimate metal centerfold.
After we give our guest’s flashing endeavors sufficient exposure, we turn negatives into positives, as we discuss another eclectic selection of new tunes, including the recent releases by vianova – Hit it! (00:25:15), Greyhaven – Keep it Quiet (00:46:15), Thrice – Horizons/West (00:53:45), Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound (01:07:13), Igorrr – Amen (01:21:33), and Der Weg Einer Freiheit – Innern (01:34:05).
As usual, the “lost & found” section of the show comes with a new category! This episode, we are looking for our respective “least favorite album by one of our favorite bands”. Trick or treat yourselves to some preposterous polemics and surprising twists and turns, as we shake up feelings like freshly developed polaroids about In Flames – Siren Charms (01:47:15), Job For A Cowboy – Sun Eater (01:55:42), Protest the Hero – Pacific Myth (02:03:46), Hundredth – RARE (02:11:14), as well as While She Sleeps – SO WHAT? (02:20:37).
As always, we're happy to provide a Spotify-playlist to complement this episode for your convenience. Check it out!
One more thing, as usual: We’re on Discord now! Come join the cult! We would love for you to join the Earbvds family and talk music with us!
Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.

PS: If Simon sounds like he was speaking through a blanket, it's because he was. Infectious little bugger. Stay healthy, everyone <3
