Dimmu Borgir means Dark Castles in Icelandic. "Stormblast" by Dimmu Borgir is exactly the type of music you'd expect to be playing in a Dark Icelandic Castle.

Black Metal January continues with Krallice's 2011 album Diotima.

New year, new podcast... episode. The format is the same. This month the boys dig into the cold, bleak, and frightening world of Black Metal, and what better album to kick off the year than the debut by Norwegian Black Metal legends Mayhem, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

The year is coming to an end, and Death Metal December with it. Join two very tired boys for one last time this year as they embark on an interplanetary quest From Mars to Sirius.

DEATH METAL DECEMBER HAS ARRIVED!

TODAY THE BOYS DISCUSS HEARTWORK BY CARCASS. WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS YOU ASK? IT'S BECAUSE THIS IS THE CLOSEST TEXT CAN COME TO A DEATH GROWL.

Holy Hell what an episode!

Okay, I'm done. I swear, I'm done making puns off the title of this great album! No need to get so worked up, you haven't even listened to the episode yet.

Also, GET HYPE FOR DEATH METAL DECEMBER!

Not gonna lie gang. This one took some work. There's a discussion of Anthrax somewhere in there couched between discussions of Skyrim, You Were Never Really Here, other bands Scott Ian has been in, and bad cold medicine.

ALSO: SPOILERS FOR "YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE."

Alright, I know we said we'd talk about Killswitch Engage, but brand new albums from amazing bands cannot wait.

Enjoy this episode about LP #3 from SoCal Metalcore poets Silent Planet, "When the End Began."
