    What’s up, everyone! In case you missed the announcement on our socials a couple of weeks back, we’re going to be taking an indefinite hiatus from the podcast. Before we flitter off into the void, we have two more episodes to share with you. This is the second to last episode we recorded around Halloween 2022; the final one was recorded around Thanksgiving and will be released in about a month. There might be a time in the future when we return for a one-off episode or two, but we have no concrete plans (if Creed reunites, we’ll consider it).

    In this penultimate episode, we cover releases from Marigold King and Drumcorps to Crippling Alcoholism and Cloud Rat. Cacophonous black metal, aggressively mellow noise rock, cybernetic hyperdeath, and emotive grindpunk are but a few of the genres explored.

    Bands/artists covered in this episode include Blattaria, fleshwater, SkyThala, Liturgy, Oozing Wound, Gatekeeper, Mourning, Putrescine, Kosmogyr, F****d Up, ZOMBIESHARK!, Marigold King, Swampworm, Daniel Patrick Cohen, Drumcorps, The God Awful Truth, Under the Pier, Crippling Alcoholism, Polywhy, Winterquilt, Stormruler, Fat Randy, Cloud Rat, Nostalghia, and others.

    What's up, folks! You know the drill. We have yet another digital box of music and other odd frequencies to rummage through. As is tradition, the material covered in this one is "dated" in relative terms.

    Releases covered in this one range from GEL, Organ Failure, and Serling to Asunojokei and Crowfeeder. Scathing hardcore punk, HM2-drenched goregrind, exuberant blackgaze, burnished breakcore, and sludgy metal-punk comprise but a smattering of the noises explored.

    Bands/artists covered in this episode include Ithaca, Alleageaon, Grave Blankets, Fallfiftyfeet, Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner), The Sentient Thumb, Clutch, Netherlands, Arkheth, ZOMBIESHARK!, Forlesen, GEL, Cold Brats, Fromjoy, Crowfeeder, Spider God, Grinning God, Organ Failure, Rhymes of Destruction, Marion, Serling, Asunojokei, Still/Form, Mico, Throth, and others.

    In this one, we cover territories that lean into realms of industrial metal, cosmic death metal, chug-da-chug hardcore, minimalist dungeon synth, balmy crust punk, and noise-oozing powerviolence. There are quite a few grotty timbres harbored in this one, but there are a few tufts of calm that pock the episode’s duration. Many of these releases dropped in the early summer months of 2022, so we hope our ramblings shed some light on releases you might have missed.

amazing podcast

An excellent podcast where you will discover music from the underground as well as hear ground breaking interviews with today's leading voices of many different genres. Highly recommended.

Great resource

Met Ryan at Fire in the Mountains festival in Wyoming. He has a deep knowledge of obscure, heavy music and this is a great resource for discovering new bands. Keep up the good work!
