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 28

Welcome back, it has NOT been a while. Hopefully the cooling weather (for us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least) finds you well. This month’s installment finds me with an apparent split-personality. Side one is very heavy on metal while side two is almost solely in the vast realm of post-punk. Hopefully you don’t find it too jarring. Until next time.
