Episode 39

The rain and the cool have returned which brings much joy to my heart. Gone (for now, at least) is the heat and the stinging brightness of Summer and in its place is a comforting chill.

Perhaps this abrupt switch in climate lead to this month’s episode being heavier on the black metal than recent installments from the hotter and sunnier months. Either way, this episode likely appeals to the “black metallers” out there. I haven’t much else to say this month. Enjoy and thank you for the support.

See you in three weeks for the third annual dungeon synth / dark ambient special.

Episode 38

Welcome back, friends. The heat is breaking and it rained all day today which places me in a superior mood for this monthly exercise. Hopefully you, the listener, find this installment to be smoother and less formulaic than the last few. I try not to fall into a pattern but no one is immune to the siren song of “That’ll do.”

That being said, I feel like this episode is very natural in its unfurling and eventual denouement. Hopefully you find it enjoyable.

We’re back. I am, like many humans, a self-centered person. And as such, I like to do karaoke on my birthday and artists covering other artists is effectively “professional karaoke”.

Episode 32

First Wednesday of the month means it’s time for more filth. This month’s installment feels pretty parabolic to me, but that could be the lack of sleep. Not a lot of noise/experimental material this time around, but there’s lots of feedback, so worry not.

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.

Episode 27

The weather is finally, mercifully transitioning to a station more to my favor; this likely contributed to a stronger presence of black metal than more recent episodes.

Beware the latter portion of this episode if you lack the endurance for noise. Other than that, enjoy yourself and let’s reacquaint next month.
