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 78

New year and more of the same. This is the first episode composed completely using my new computer. Kinda odd that my old computer was relatively new when I started this project. But enough navel gazing.

This month’s episode offers little in the way of melody but it features a lot of death metal and black metal, so that’s pretty great. I don’t feel like writing much more due to jet lag/sleep deprivation, but thanks for all the support over the years. Sic Semper Tyrannis and Fuck 12.

I will return the first Wednesday of February with more filth and irresponsible music in general. Onward.

Episode 75.5: Samhain Special VI

Here we go again, the sixth installment of the Samhain series is now ready for your attention. For the uninitiated, this is an annual experiment in testing my listeners’ patience. A shorter episode in which I basically make a Halloween sound effects tape out of “intro(s),” “outro(s),” “interlude(s),” and other snippets of (mostly) instrumental passages. It’s a bullshit “dungeon synth” album, I guess. Anyway, I hope (think?) you’ll enjoy it. If not, a regular episode will be arriving shortly.

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:

Episode 72

Greetings, this episode marks the end of the sixth cycle of this project. Next month will mark its sixth anniversary; I’m not good at basic math.

We kick things off with some noisy experimentation before gliding into more familiar blackened material. The second side begins with slower material before smashing into a sizable crust blossom that subsides into some slow-burn material.

That’s all I have to say subject matter-wise. Look after your own and don’t let these fascist bastards wear you down. I will return the first Wednesday of August for the sixth anniversary.

Episode 71

Greetings, fellow odds. This month’s installment kicks off quick with some hardcore punk nastiness before settling into some metal of death. Episode 71 also features the longest track I’ve included to date. Always trying to push boundaries, I guess.

That’s all I have to say. Thanks as always for any support. Hopefully this finds you well. I’ll be back the first Wednesday in July, likely losing my grip on reality due to heat exhaustion.
