DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 16 - Strangeland
November 10, 2023 13:00 - 2 hours - 103 MBAh, the 90s. A time when heavy metal was trying to figure out just what the hell it was actually doing. As nu-metal became the reigning champ of the time, a holdover from the 80s went in another direction. Twisted Sister's own Dee Snider wrote and starred in a horror movie entitled Strangeland. It is arguably the first flick to boast a largely nu-metal soundtrack which also features the likes of Megadeth, Pantera, and Nashville Pussy somehow. Directed by a fella named Pieplower, it follows t...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 15 - Verotika
October 31, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBEver wonder how Danzig perceives the world? If you watch Verotika, as we did, you might find out. Happy Halloween and up yours, Glenn.
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 14 - American Satan
October 05, 2023 12:00 - 2 hours - 109 MBHoo boy, where do we even start with this one? In 2017, Ash Avildsen, the head of Sumerian Records and son of the guy who directed Rocky, conjured into this world American Satan against all of our wishes. Chronicling the rise of badly named fake band The Relentless, it is posited as a retelling of Faust. It's more or less a teenage male's fantasy of being a rockstar, and a surprisingly low-quality one at that, in as much as it looks like shit. This flick's morals are dubious at best and it b...
Chapter 156 - DesertFest NY 2023 Recap
October 04, 2023 12:30 - 41 minutes - 33 MBDiary of Doom rises from its October grave to pilfer weed resin from an uncleaned bong and to talk about this year's edition of DesertFest 2023. August West, Vater Boris, and Vater's one and only Boo are along for the ride as Dylan recaps his weekend between Saint Vitus Bar and the Knockdown Center. Along the way, they discuss if there are any Melvins fans in Hawaii, Colour Haze eating hearts, how to get so drunk you forget who Black Sabbath is, strapless amps, and various tales of Dave Wynd...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 13 - Underworld
September 01, 2023 12:00 - 2 hours - 111 MBIrene the Black Metal Pastry Chef is back to chaperone Dylan through the bluest movie of all time and the inspiration for countless internet fiction, Underworld. Directed by Len Wiseman, who stole Kate Beckinsale from Michael Sheen, it's a tale of romance and violence, goth cryptid violence that is as vampires battle w̶e̶r̶e̶w̶o̶l̶v̶e̶s̶ lycans while destinies unfold and all manner of complicated love plays out. To complement the drama, it boasts a moody soundtrack courtesy of Danny Lohner f...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 12 - The Devil’s Candy
August 04, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBKit from I Hope You Suffer is back and this time, they watched a real movie! This month's film is 2015's The Devil's Candy, the motion picture meeting point of art, heavy metal, and Satan. It cannot be stressed how intrinsic heavy metal is to this movie's existence. Sunn O))) is literally part of this film, not to mention the soundtrack features Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, Goya, Pantera, and Slayer. Ethan Embry stars as an extremely greasy and extremely cringy artist who moves his me...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 11 - Alone in the Dark
July 07, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 82.5 MBDylan welcomes Andy Davis of the band EAT to tackle (with extreme frustration) the 2005 grimfest that is Alone in the Dark. Directed by notorious internet celebrity turned restauranteur and boxer, Uwe Boll, this cinematic equivalent of a conspiracy theory somehow boasts an immense roster of metal bands for its soundtrack and manages to completely squander it. Despite featuring such talent as Mastodon, Meshuggah, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, it goes 57 minutes before any metal shows up. Ins...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 10 - Green Room
June 02, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 84.2 MBGreen movie for the green podcast. This month, Dylan is talking about one of the best fake band movies, Green Room, with returning guest Jeremy Hunt of Qoheleth. Released in 2015 not far ahead of when the pitiful, bigoted underbelly of the country would start forcing its way into the spotlight, the movie follows touring punk rock band The Ain't Rights (perhaps the only band that has never had an Instagram account) as they find themselves embroiled in a tense standoff with an absolutely terri...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 9 - The Gate
May 05, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBDylan welcomes Chris and Jon from the Cinema Duel podcast to talk about how horror and metal went hand-in-hand for them in their youths, much like a certain Terry Chandler in today's movie, The Gate. Tibor Takacs' 1987 jaunt helps keep things very Canadian in this episode (the Great White North is a haven for metal and horror) as they discuss a metal movie that ostensibly features very little actual heavy metal music, trading that in for Stephen Dorff before he became a blood tornado in Blad...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 8 - Evil Bong Must Die Part 2
April 20, 2023 12:05 - 1 hour - 57 MBDylan and Nathan continue on with their quest to put Charles Band in The Hague by closing the book on the Evil Bong franchise with Evil Bong 777 and Evil Bong 888. These "movies" find the FMCU troupe jumping from Las Vegas to a thrilling finale in... a restaurant. A green screen restaurant at that. Would you believe there's even more doll sex? These weed movies have forgotten they're about weed and replaced it with an Elvis puppet that truly fucks along with a dude from Tiger King, Karens, r...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 7 - Evil Bong Must Die Part 1
April 20, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBIt's 4/20 and as is tradition, we're dipping back into the Evil Bong waters to finally put this bad bong to bed. Dylan and Nathan from I Hope You Suffer band together once more against the power of FMCU (Full Moon Cinematic Universe). All your favorites, least favorites, and newcomers are here: EB, Rabbit, Larnell, the Gingerdeadman, and the Gingerweedman (arguably the only good thing about these "movies). Summarizing these films was akin to the ravings of a madman, so we broke it up into tw...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 6 - Resident Evil
April 07, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBIt's time to get down in the club and spin-kick some zombie dogs to "Fist Fuck" by Nine Inch Nails. Dylan takes a break from the Resident Evil 4 Remake to welcome Kat and Jazz from Girl, That's Scary to stan for the 2002 film adaptation of the hit video game series (adaptation used pretty lightly). Passing over George Romero for Paul W.S. Anderson and regretfully scored by Marilyn Manson, the soundtrack also featured Slipknot, Coal Chamber, Rammstein, Fear Factory, Mudvayne, a really bad Dep...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 5 - The Scorpion King
March 03, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 80 MBBefore he was a terrible CGI scorpion centaur, The Rock was The Scorpion King. For the first fresh episode of Movies from Green Hell, Kit from I Hope You Suffer returns to join Dylan in revisiting this incredibly early 2000s flick that was written by Solid Snake. Sporting an aggressively nu metal soundtrack that barely shows up in it, this is a film plagued by fire ants, yak piss, skullets, magical editing, and stolen Chinese dynamite powered by salt. This episode is proudly sponsored by t...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 4 - Jonah Hex
February 03, 2023 11:30 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBRevenge gets ugly? More like revenge gets shitty. Dylan makes Kit from I Hope You Suffer finally face down a film that Warner Bros. probably wants to forget exists: Jonah Hex. Despite boasting a $47 million budget and a soundtrack from Mastodon, Jonah Hex manages to fail on an immaculate level. Just a sampling of the weirdness this movie offers includes John Malkovich looking like Jon Schaffer, bowler hat magic, a guy named Slocum, would-be hellhounds, snake men, a truly baffling take on "li...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 3 - Mazes & Monsters
January 30, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBDylan welcomes Bryan and Ryan from Doomsday Profit back to the podcast to talk about a movie inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. No, not THAT Dungeons & Dragons movie, we're talking about Tom Hanks' first film: Mazes & Monsters, made for TV in 1982 as the Satanic Panic was on the rise and featuring the Mayor from Jaws. Our heroic party attempts to see how just how bad DND is for the rest of us as well as wear a lot of hats, drink wine from the future, become guitar lecturers, and steal from the ...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 2 - Evil Bong Blazes Again
January 27, 2023 12:05 - 1 hour - 73.5 MBIn Episode 2 of MFGH, during the highest time of the year, Dylan watched some more of the lowest flicks of all time with the only host of I Hope You Suffer willing to return, Nathan Sizemore. The disappointed duo tackled three more entries in this unfortunate series: Evil Bong 3D: The Wrath of Bong, Gingerdeadman vs. Evil Bong, and Evil Bong 420, during which they highlighted space bongs, getting off at the bakery counter, a pastry tribunal, topless bowling alleys, quite possibly the most au...
DOD Presents Movies from Green Hell - Episode 1 - Freaked!
January 27, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 83 MBThe once-Patreon exclusive and then Toilet ov Hell featured podcast will now live here on the Diary of Doom feed for your listening displeasure. Today we debut it with not one, but two episodes to get the ball rolling. For anybody that does not know the schtick, Movies from Green Hell joins the detritus of a wasteland of movie podcasts that will focus on the discussion of (and probably lambasting) movies that feature heavy metal music in some capacity, no matter how tenuous, and terrible sto...
Chapter 155 - Merry Kyuss-mas
December 29, 2022 13:14 - 1 hour - 73.7 MBCough, cough, cough, Merry Kyuss-mas! Diary of Doom is closing out 2022 with our seemingly omnipresent guest, August West, by talking about a band that nobody has ever heard of before: Kyuss. After paying tribute to our friend, John Hopkins, and his mother, Reita, and running through some of their favorite albums of the year (highlighting Steve Albini's love for Dead Meadow), the dank duo delves into the short but sweet discography of one of the cornerstone bands of heavy music, touching on...
Chapter 154 - Diary Deep Dive Ep. 6 - Zoroaster
December 22, 2022 12:11 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBWhere do we even start with this episode? Back in May, longtime returning guest August West agreed to join Dylan in talking about a band crucial to his formative years as a metal fan. This seemingly mundane task was upended by a tornado (no joke) and massive fatigue (likely a symptom of being forced to listen to Dylan ramble), resulting in an episode recorded over the course of three sessions. But eventually, they got their shit together to talk about Atlanta, GA sludge outfit, Zoroaster. Th...
Chapter 153 - Foehammer
December 15, 2022 13:03 - 1 hour - 68.6 MB"And this is Glamdring, the Foe-Hammer, sword of the King of Gondolin. These swords were made for the Goblin Wars long ago..." Not quite sure if the Goblin Wars ever ended since everybody seems to be diving into goblin mode these days. But on Diary of Doom, we are taking it low and slow, which doesn't seem to line up with the proprietors of said goblin mode. Dylan welcomes Jay Cardinell of Foehammer, one-half of the truly mammoth Virginia doom duo. They've got a new album out this year call...
Chapter 152 - Diary Deep Dive - Ep. 5 - Blind Idiot God
December 08, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBAfter watching Freaked! and deciding it had the greatest theme song of all time, Dylan invited Jeremy Hunt from experimental noise rock band, Qoheleth, back on to discuss one of the coolest bands on the planet, Blind Idiot God. They're not exactly doom metal, but they fit very comfortably into the lexicon of heavy, underground music. From their collaborations with John Zorn to getting down with the dub, they delve into why this band rules as well as a possible Undertow conspiracy theory and ...
Chapter 151 - The Magician Reversed
December 01, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThe card has been drawn by a single hand. The hand of one Nick Bain aka The Magician Reversed. Pulling across the board from goth and doom to the occult and the influence of tarot, Nick juggles it all as the sole force behind this musical endeavor. With his debut album, And Deeper Still, out earlier this year, Nick delves into the metaphysical nature of his music and what it all means, showing praise for Justin Broadrick, Esoteric, and Portal, as well as getting banned from Napster for downl...
Chapter 150 - King Buffalo
November 17, 2022 13:36 - 57 minutes - 47.7 MBWell, shit, here we are, just a week or two after the actual anniversary of launching the Diary of Doom podcast, and we've got ourselves to chapter 150! It's been three years since then. I'm sitting here, thinking: Why on Earth did you think launching a podcast right before Thanksgiving was a good idea? Brilliant move there. But, self-deprecation aside, the fact that I am at 150 of anything is still pretty cool. For that, I have to thank everybody who has tuned in for the ride so far as well...
Chapter 149 - Diary Deep Dive Ep. 4 - Earthless
November 10, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 73 MBDylan welcomes his longtime podcasting buddy Mike Crandall of Jim's BBQ POD to make his DOD debut as they try to appeal to old wooks while they talk about Earthless. Mike and Dylan go way back as Kevin Smith fans and delve into some of their joint excursions including a Monster Energy drink festival, Waffle House, getting diarrhea of doom at Dark Lord Day, and bitch about bitching about festival lineups. Albums Covered: Sonic Prayer (2005) Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky (2007) Live at Roadbur...
Chapter 148 - Ruby the Hatchet
November 03, 2022 12:11 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBWe've got Jersey in the house! Sultry singer Jillian Taylor of NJ/Philly rockers Ruby the Hatchet joins us in the doom cave to chat about their recently released album, Fear is a Cruel Master. Naturally, Dylan can't help himself from getting Jillian's opinions on all things Jersey and Philly (potholes, Gritty, pork roll, you know, the usual fare), but thankfully they do talk about other things like when to burp on stage, Fleetwood Mac being heavy as shit, creeping clouds of fear, cults, duet...
Chapter 147 - ExpiatoriA
October 27, 2022 12:00 - 49 minutes - 48.4 MBThirty-five years ago, somewhere in Italy, a dark ritual was held and ExpiatoriA was ushered into this world. Thirty-five years later, the restless spirit of the band rises again, this time to release its first-ever actual album. In this chapter of the Diary, Dylan sits down with Edoardo Napoli, guitarist in the latest lineup for ExpiatoriA, who explains how the band got back together and what it was like to be recruited into it as a fan first, plus hiding the devil's music from his nona, th...
Chapter 146 - Diary Deep Dive Ep. 3 - REZN
October 20, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBIn this episode of divin' deep, we're joining the Satanic Temple of Gucci and getting sexy with REZN. Ivana DeCaro makes her return to delve into the Chicago psyche rock band's discog as well as other nonsense like Skyrim being a broke-ass game, Steve-O's 40-foot balls, Mikael Akerfeels, and garish 00's movies. Albums covered: Let It Burn (2017) Calm Black Water (2018) Chaotic Divine (2020) Dylan and Ivana also attempt to find Jesus with Skillet, in which they suffer through "The Thirst...
Chapter 145 - Andy Patterson
October 13, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 86.8 MBA fixture of the Salt Lake City music scene, Andy Patterson has been active in music production behind the controls at his studio, The Boar's Nest, and making his own brand of heavy since the 90s, starting off by going on tour with Iceburn and then drumming in previous bands SubRosa and Insect Ark. His latest outfit, The Otolith, sees him reunited with fellow members of SubRosa and their debut record comes out very soon. You could not find a more fitting nickname than "The Loud Guy" for Andy...
Chapter 144 - Ugly
October 06, 2022 12:45 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBWe are featuring our friends over at Satanik Royalty Records again, this time with their first non-Seattle-located and freshly signed band, Ugly. Bassist and vocalist Brandon Hay phones in from the dubiously pronounced Prescott, AZ (is it Press-Kit or Press-Scott?) to talk about his epic run of exploring punk, crust, and grind in his early days and ultimately crossing paths with the NW hesher legend Freiburger. Brandon elaborates on the trial-and-error origins of forming a small town band (i...
Chapter 143 - Conan
September 29, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBWith a new record out and 20 years' worth of caveman battle doom under his belt, the only sign of slowing down for Conan's Jon Davis is his riffs. Fresh off from a trek to Poland, Jon guides us through his history of crafting one of doom's heaviest bands, from when they were initially known as Here Lies the Body to now with the release of Evidence of Immortality. During his chat with Dylan, they cover all sorts of topics including a cock-emblazoned guitar cab, counter fit cassettes, seeing S...
Chapter 142 - Diary Deep Dive Ep. 2 - Dead Meadow
September 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBDylan gets to galaxy brain levels of being stoned as he and August West chat about the only psychedelic rock band with a connection to Jimmy McNulty, plus other nonsense like RoboCop, drugs Dylan has never done, Bob Einstein, and the movie Drive. Albums covered: Dead Meadow (2000) Howls from the Hills (2001) Shivering King and Others (2003) Feathers (2005) Old Growth (2008) The Nothing They Need (2018) Levitation Sessions (2021) Photo by Tim Bugbee (Tinnitus Photography) If you wan...
Chapter 141 - Abrams
September 15, 2022 12:00 - 50 minutes - 43.2 MBIn this week's chapter, we welcome Zach Amster from the Denver, CO band, Abrams. Abrams has been going strong as a tank since its inception and has just released their fourth album, In the Dark. Zach delves into why they wanted to inject some melody and catchy riffs in the vein of Hum and Cave In as they've chugged along since their first release, as well as Kyuss on the jukebox, confirming that Reddit fans are real people, being the odd duck on the stoner rock label, LaserDisc, getting Uncl...
Chapter 140 - The Toilet ov Hell
September 08, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 79.6 MBDiary of Doom is reaching across the proverbial bowel of cyberspace in order to get a proper flush from the Toilet ov Hell. Ambassador 365 Days of Horror, or Jordan as you may know him in reality, joins Dylan to regale him with some Toilet origins and how they have thrived within heavy metal's internet by turning into a respected hub for new music and talking about the things nobody wants to. Along the way they dig deep into heavy metal fan culture as well as discuss heavy metal message boar...
Chapter 139 - Nine Layers Deep
September 01, 2022 12:00 - 59 minutes - 49.9 MBWe're back in upstate NY with this week's guests, Nine Layers Deep. Alaysa, Dan, and Jim are dialing in from Buffalo as they keep busy working towards the release of their upcoming album, Impermanence. They practiced so hard that people thought a gig started in the rehearsal building! As they show how deep the layers go to Dylan, they broach the topics of FM radio lullabies, declare Fush Yu, Meng! a classic, bring in Korn's Issues to show and tell, baritone guitars, why it feels good on the ...
Chapter 138 - Body Void
August 25, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBJanys-Iren Faughn embodies all facets of getting involved in the heavy metal scene through touring, booking shows, and remaining a true fan of all things heavy and noisy, lusting for pops and crackles all the while. In addition to their solo act, Entresol, and now a member of noise doom act, Body Void, Janys also runs Flossless Presents, allowing Dylan a peak behind the curtain of the day-to-day elements of booking shows, a crucial role in any heavy music scene. They also delve into heshers ...
Chapter 137 - Diary Deep Dive Ep. 1 - Sourvein
August 18, 2022 12:00 - 59 minutes - 90.9 MBNo new chapter this week; instead, Diary of Doom is putting out one of its previously Patreon-exclusive episodes in which Dylan delves into the deeper catalogs of doom, stoner, and sludge bands that aren't Electric Wizard, Sleep, or Eyehategod. We've got a few more of these that we will be putting out over the coming months and hope to do more down the line. From the original post: The first deep dive chapter chronicles the discography of Cape Fear sludge band, Sourvein. Dylan and frequent...
Chapter 136 - Dean Rispler
August 11, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBDean Rispler has been involved in crafting and playing music for over 30 years, but even to this day, he remains a fan above all. In addition to hosting and producing Gimme Metal, he's played or worked with bands such as Witch Taint, The Dictators, The Brought Low, Mighty High, and in his free time likes to collect records that he may not actually have the time to listen to. During his chat with Dylan, Dean talks about loving the oldies, hating the 90s, how Ozzy and Pink Floyd "ruined his li...
Chapter 135 - Netherlands
August 04, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBDiary of Doom is back! After a brief pilgrimage to parts unknown (read: the couch), Dylan is back at it again and he's brought along a trve mad scientist for the return episode: Timo Ellis of the experimental noise sludge act, Netherlands. Timo's been in the music game for a long time now, with many releases under his own name and countless collaborative projects. Recorded at his studio, The Meadow, Timo elaborates on audience reactions to their first Netherlands set, playing with Yoko Ono a...
Chapter 134 - Maryland Deathfest 2022 Recap
July 07, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBExtreme B.O. Short biker dudes picking fights. Italian horror film composers. Circle pit cunnilingus. Cat puke. These were just some of the things Dylan experienced while attending what will probably be the last Maryland Deathfest. At least for a while. Diary of Doom briefly rears its ugly head from its respite as Dylan recounts his journey into darkness and grime to Nathan from I Hope You Suffer, who also attended MDF in years past. Trigger Warning: We do discuss suicide in this episode p...
Chapter 133 - Wo Fat
May 26, 2022 12:36 - 1 hour - 74.4 MBAfter a Desertfest NYC recap with August West, Dylan dives into his chat with Kent Stump of Texas' Wo Fat. Beyond being riff master general in the band, Kent is also a studio engineer, having recorded everything from stoner metal to show tunes and classical guitar. In addition to the ups and downs of touring life versus studio life, we also chat about Blues Manchu, the legacy of Stonerrock.com, what it's like having a second guitarist again, seeing stoner rock go global, if he's been feeling...
Chapter 132 - David D’Andrea
May 19, 2022 12:03 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBThere are few artists who are capable of rendering an image that channels both the weight of heavy metal and the beauty of religious mysticism and nature. If there were one to be defined by this gift, it would be David D'Andrea. Alongside fellow artists Brian Mercer, Santos, and Arik Roper, he has helped define the iconography of Sleep and OM through his studio, Samaritan Press, and also lent his talents to countless other bands, including Dinosaur Jr., The Jesus Lizard, Arthur Brown, Queens...
Chapter 131 - Cowards & Thieves
May 12, 2022 13:02 - 40 minutes - 37.9 MBCowards & Thieves dial in from the literal road for a chat with Dylan in anticipation of their album release on Friday the 13th (ch ch ch, ah ah ah...). Chip and Stefan manage to power through some questionable venue Wi-Fi to talk about the band and turning their debut EP into a short film as well as the bird sound at the end of "Layla", if you're an old head if you went to Ozzfest, pop punk cover sets, legal wedding parties, and why "Desperado" is the saddest song ever. You can preorder Co...
Chapter 130 - The Tinfoil Biter
May 05, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MBBrandishing perhaps the greatest handle in photography history, Dylan sits down with Tomoko Inoue, perhaps better known by her moniker, The Tinfoil Biter, to delve into her history as a concert photographer. A chance opportunity to photograph Down while in Japan opened the gate and her dynamic shots have highlighted the already heavy presence of such artists as Crowbar, High on Fire, Child Bite, Weedeater, and Osees. We go through some select sets of her photos while also touching on the hig...
Chapter 129 - Bog Wizard
April 28, 2022 13:07 - 1 hour - 75 MBWe're taking a trip to the bog for this week's chapter. After a quick chat with our weed field correspondent, August West, about heading out to Colorado to see Sleep after their hibernation period, we jump right into our chat with Harlen Linke from Bog Wizard. When he's not pounding the drums, Harlen is crushing it as a video game designer for games like Team Fortress 2. More importantly, Bog Wizard and UK doom eccentric Froglord have a new split out. Dylan and Harlen get into how they manag...
Chapter 128 - Steak
April 21, 2022 13:22 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBDOD takes its first trip across the pond to the UK for the first time to feature the band with the greatest name ever queried from the internet: Steak. For anyone who has been following the stoner and desert rock scene for a while, you're probably familiar with fellow member Reece's little pet project, DesertFest. Kip and Cam phone in to talk about not just their recently released album, but also the coinciding short film, Mad Lord. And the comic book. And the action figures (just kidding, n...
Chapter 127 - Gateway Commentary with August West
April 20, 2022 13:00 - 59 minutes - 45.1 MBDylan and August are back for their annual 4/20 album commentary bonus chapter and this year they are tackling the OG kush monster, Bongzilla, and their hallmark stoner metal album, Gateway. While navigating their way through a mire of murky riffs, they talk about opening up for .38 Special, Relapse's Contamination Festival, top tier Newark gangster bud, Dylan's dad greening out at Roger Waters, toking up with Bernard the House Elf, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The commentary kicks in at 00:...
Chapter 126 - Nuclear Dudes (Jon Weisnewski)
April 14, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 47.9 MBWe are speaking with the dude of Nuclear Dudes as we welcome Sandrider's Jon Weisnewski back to the podcast to talk about the marriage of synths and blast beats in his new solo project. Jon sheds light on whether he has the grit to take it live and what a real dude of the nuclear variety would look like as well as getting inspired by NJ shark attacks (and subsequently ruined by Snooki), Scary Numan, what it was like to be a tester for Nintendo back in the day, Elden Ring, and a truly insane ...
Chapter 125 - BUZEM
April 07, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBIf you tried to articulate an acid trip sprinkled with a few other substances into a song, it might sound like BÜZÊM. A one-man noise outfit headed up by mad scientist Finn, BÜZÊM taps into the loose flow of bass distortion and control of reverb to create music from a dream state. As Finn delves into his experimentations, we also touch on pawning his first bass, why he went with a potentially troublesome name, growing up in a Harmony Korine landscape, bolstering the Portland, ME local scene,...
Chapter 124 - Eight Bells
March 31, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBWe are pleased to welcome Eight Bells to the doom cave. Melynda Jackson, Matt Solis, and Brian Burke are all present to talk about surviving the past two years against Portland, OR's apocalyptic backdrop, and putting out a killer new record with the help of the tireless Billy Anderson. During our chat, we also babble on about nu-metal JNCOs, getting kicked out of high school band, Blockbuster music, Meta-Licka, nautical themes, getting busted at the border, and why sad songs make for good co...
Chapter 123 - Troll Teeth
March 24, 2022 13:00 - 56 minutes - 51.2 MBThis week, we are reclaiming the troll! Moe from Troll Teeth is dialing in straight from the New Jersey Pine Barrens and on this year's Pi Day no less. Once determined where they fall on the pie vs. cake debate, Moe gets into how the troll's teeth started growing into a band and up to their latest released, Hanged, Drawn, & Quartered. During this joint Jersey venture, they also follow the Star Trek holistic calendar, figure out the statistical chances of the bass player showing up for practi...
