Zuma From KRUELTY Tries to Eat 200 Nuggets
Days before Kruelty's return to Sound & Fury Fest, vocalist and beloved HardLore regular Kohei Azuma (AKA Zuma) returns for his 4th appearance on the show to challenge our honor by (insanely) declaring that he thinks he can eat more nuggets than us.After 8 consecutive weeks on two different full US tours that Kruelty has finally freshly wrapped up, he just might be right... Featuring his wife and Kruelty bassist Seina as special guest co-host and scorekeeper, and Kruelty's manager Taylor Young (AKA his Dad) as moral support._____________________________________________________________Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef___________________________________________________________Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comTry AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free 1-year supply of vitamin D and 5 travel packs of AG1.Get 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/___________________________________________________________FOLLOW KRUELTY:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/krueltyjphc/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/krueltyjphc FOLLOW ZUMA:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/zuma94jp/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/zuma94jp FOLLOW SEINA:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/se7_cks/ FOLLOW TAYLOR:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/taylorxyoung/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/taylorxyoung FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE #KRUELTY 00:00:00 - Start00:03:27 - Nugget 100:04:28 - Touring With Harms Way00:07:23 - Creeping Death Tour00:10:32 - Seina's Interests00:11:53 - Meeting Zuma00:15:29 - Up Next For Kruelty00:16:17 - Response To New Record00:19:41 - Day In the Life of Seina00:20:17 - Kruelty Response In Japan00:21:57 - Pet Peeves00:27:53 - Favorite Show Memory00:32:20 - Favorite Things About Touring the US00:33:27 - Favorite Japanese Death And Doom Metal Bands00:37:08 - Food Rankings00:41:28 - 7/1100:42:39 - Japan Doing Things Better00:44:06 - Angel Du$t Feature00:45:28 - Thoughts On the Tied Down Spin Kick00:48:27 - Fortnite00:50:08 - Expectations of First US Tour00:53:55 - Taylors Initial Reaction To Kruelty00:57:11 - Meeting Seina00:59:26 - Discovering Heavy Music01:01:48 - Taylor Being Angry With Colin01:06:33 - Rigged Jeapordy Buzzer01:08:09 - Pardon This Interruption01:10:47 - Bands They Currently Enjoy01:15:16 - Favorite Zuma-isms01:17:40 - Favorite Ice Cream at 7/1101:19:17 - Taylors Favorite Record with His Involvement01:26:57 - Zombie Apocalypse01:29:39 - Hardcore Perception In Japan01:35:19 - Places to Go In Japan01:38:21 - Farting on Charlie01:41:11 - Seina's Favorite Tour01:45:26 - Agenda After Getting Back Home
