I'm a big humbug, so I thought what better way to celebrate the holiday season than to dedicate an episode to black metal.  Music with themes of  the occult, anti-theism, anti-Christianity, nature, satanism, and chaos are more my taste than the horrid cheeriness of Christmas carols.

Just because I'm a humbug doesn't mean I'm not going to take a holiday break.  Bitchin will be back next month with a "Best of 2018" episode!
