Episode 86

Greetings, I’ve returned with the final episode of the Summer season. I felt it fitting to start with lots of speed as sweat makes me think of stimulants and that milieu. Lotta protein and sodium on the first half of the episode before the almost-automatic dive into the “odder” realms.

I’ve got to get back to parenting so I’ll keep this short. Thanks for the support in the past, present, and future. Im will return the first Wednesday of October for the next episode. RIP Sean Ragon.

Episode 85

Greetings, this episode marks seven years hacking away (interpret that verb as you see fit) at this monstrous project. Hopefully you, kind listener, have found something of interest over the years. I know it’s been a personal source of inspiration and consternation these years and I hope you’ve gotten something out of it.

Onto the music, I kept it guitar-centric this month cause anniversaries are for the simple joys in life. Lots of black metal, punk, and death metal to be found here, but with the requisite weirdness I hope you all appreciate. I don’t have much else other than to thank my wife for ceding the basement for my tinkering all these years. She’s the best.

Enjoy the music and I will return the first Wednesday of September with more selections. Thank you for the continued support. Onward.

Episode 84

Quick turn around this month, but the calendar marches on. July’s episode is pretty contradictory at face value, but I think works as a gradient if you’re patient. If not, skip around.

Episode 83

Greetings from the center and the edge of the universe. I’ve returned with a smattering of songs to tame your restraint and encourage your worst behavior.

We start off with a chunk of industrial/experimental work before hitting a pocket of punk and punk-adjacent material before finally hitting some black metal and death metal. Innovative!

Surprising amount of horns this month, but it may not be obvious. I don’t have much else to add other than my gratitude for any and all support.

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.

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.
