Episode 79

Greetings. I’ve returned with the latest edition of the series. This episode was the most eclectic in selection and song-order in quite a while. For the near-term, at least, I hope to lean into the latter trait and not be so orthodox in my tracking. Time will tell if I stay true to this goal.

We start off with a fair amount of body music before lurching into a glut of black metal interpretations. Following that I wanted to slow things down before finishing off with some dirging and noisy punk selections. Hopefully it’s to your liking, but if not there’s always next month.

That being said I will return the first Wednesday of March with the next strike. Onward.

The artists and their respective tracks are as follows. Each track’s start time is noted in the subsequent parentheses:

Side One:

01) Belladonna Grave – “Difficult to Breathe”
02) In Absentia – “Comprehension” (04:05)
03) Von Magnet – “Alma Là XX” (07:10)
04) Moloko + – “Trance” (12:15)
05) The Revelator – “Commandment” (16:45)
06) Calvary – “Ravenous Lands” (20:55)
07) Burning Hammer – “Bloodstains and Ashes” (25:20)

Episode 75

I have returned and I hope this offering finds you well. What we have here is a song collection that’s pretty long in the tooth. Due to reasons I won’t bore you with I made a conscious effort to input songs I had long liked but had yet to include here, until now.

This collection of death and optimism will please your sensibilities, I trust, if you’ve found yourself in my corner of the internet.

I won’t keep you (or me) here for long as it’s much too nice outside and the dungeon can wait for my return. That being said, I will return in a few weeks with the newest iteration of the Samhain Special. Ready your armor! And thank you for your support.

Episode 73

Six years in the can and still going strong. I am finally over the halfway point at which point I can dubiously claim I’ve been at this for nearly a decade; or, if in a moment of embarrassment, it’s been “just a few years.”

Some house-cleaning to get out of the way first. It is currently a temperate 80 degrees in NYC but there is a surge in air pollution due to Canadian wildfires. So it goes. Can’t win ’em all.

As for this month’s song selections, I kept it to the basics for this “momentous” (ha!) occasion. I just looked it up and some not-shady-looking websites informed me that the sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. Naturally I’ve decided to provide you maniacs with nearly an hour of death metal, grindcore, black metal, and doom metal. But, sticking with tradition/ethos, I did trojan horse some weird electronic/experimental pieces in at the end.

That’s all I have for this month. Thank you for any and all support–past, present, and future. I will return the first Wednesday of September. Onward.

The artists and their respective tracks are as follows with each track time noted in the parentheses after each track:

Side One:

07) Black Wound – “Warping Structure” (17:30)
08) Broder – “Kraniekløversken” (24:05)

10) Bok – “Metastasis Dei” (32:30)

Episode 59

Greetings, thank you for returning with me this month. I’ve been feeling a bit sped up lately so you’re likely to notice that a number of the songs in this month’s iteration take their time to unfurl. That isn’t to say that there isn’t much pep, either. One pace is no pace to aspire to.

With that I’ll express my gratitude to any and all support this project has received as it nears the five-year mark. No plans to stop or slow down, either. Forever in/of/for the underground; or some other platitude. See you the first Wednesday of July.

Episode 57

Hello once again. Hopefully the all-covers episode treated you well and you were left filled with mirth and nostalgia. But it is time to return to form.

April’s episode is filled to the brim with blackened noise and…regular noise, I guess. It also starts with a great deal of punk nastiness. Perhaps I’m raging against the dying darkness as the temperature soars and my mood sours. There’s no way anyone could know. BUT, you have nearly 60 minutes of sonic mayhem to use at your discretion. Please do so.

Thanks as always for any and all support. It is much appreciated. I will return the first Wednesday of May with more musical bullshit to tide you over until the next time.

The artists and their respective tracks are as follows with each track time  noted in the parentheses after each track:

Episode 53

Greetings. Welcome to the final episode of 2023. Hopefully this year has found you (who?) in good shape and good spirits. This month is heavy on guitars and light on electronics. I’ve found myself in a bit of a drought when it comes to new (or merely new-to-me) EBM, dark wave, synth, etc. acts so please feel free to shoot me suggestions.

But who says the “ole same ole” is inherently a bad thing. Lots of nasty death metal, driving post-punk, jolting punk, and immiserating black metal for your hungry ears.

Thank you for your continued support and I’ll return next month/year on the first Wednesday with more hits from hell.

Episode 52

I’ve returned after a short respite with new ugliness. No schticks or gimmicks this episode (no disrespect to the specials), just nasty black metal, depressing noise rock, upsetting experimental excursions, and punishing hardcore.

Episode 51

Welcome back. The leaves are falling and a return to seasonal normalcy approaches. This month’s episode is pretty guitar-centric, but it kicks off with two electronic oddities. Not much in the way of melody this month either, but I doubt the faithful few of you will find that objectionable either. Not much else to say other than thanks for the support.
