On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Kurt, the bass player from Vantablack Warship. Vantablack Warship is a band that describes their music as a mix of thrash, metal, hardcore, and punk. They draw inspiration from the thrash metal bands of the 80s, underground thrash metal, hardcore bands like Bad Brains and Agnostic Front, as well as punk rock. Their unique style pays homage to the music they grew up on, rather than trying to fit into the current music trends. Pipeman, being from that era himself, appreciates their approach and the blending of genres.

The conversation between Pipeman and Kurt delves into their shared experiences of the music scene in the past and how it has evolved over the years. They discuss the animosity between metalheads and punks back then, which has since dissipated, and how they couldn't attend each other's shows. They reminisce about the early days of thrash metal and the unique sound each band had, unlike the generic formulaic approach some bands take today. They also touch on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on music and how it might lead to a more generic and bland music landscape.

Kurt talks about Vantablack Warship's new album and their shift in sound. They have moved away from their previous stoner rock influences and focused on creating a more upbeat, thrashier, and heavier sound. While their roots are evident, they have managed to merge their influences to create their own unique sound. The band has been together for eight years, and their songwriting and cohesion have reached a new level. They have received positive reviews for their latest record and have been playing numerous shows in Canada, opening for bands like Life of Agony, Veep Inc., Prong, and local popular bands.

The conversation takes a turn towards the experiences they've had with other bands in the industry. They discuss playing with Canadian heavy metal legends like Exciter and Anvil, sharing stories and forming connections. Pipeman shares a personal story of driving Alan Johnson and Dan Bealer of Exciter from the airport to their destination and the conversations they had along the way. They also discuss the meaning behind the album title, "Last of the Hard Mouth Poets," which symbolizes cherishing lost generations, free speech, and the importance of challenging censorship.

To connect with Vantablack Warship, listeners can find them on social media platforms like Facebook and Bandcamp. Their music is available for streaming on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. The album can be purchased online through BAM and Co Heavy, a record company in Canada. Fans can reach out to the band through Facebook for more information, tour dates, and merchandise.
