Cough, 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 how exactly to say Kyuss, why legal battles suck the air out of bands, Kyuss Lives!, petition for John Garcia to front Danzig, how many Allen wrenches they have laying around, and a five-way battle of "Yeah!" Oh, and Dylan nearly passed out (again!) at some recent concerts.

Albums covered:

Sons of Kyuss (1990)

Wretch (1991)

Blues for the Red Sun (1992)

Welcome to Sky Valley (1994)

...And the Circus Leaves Town (1995)

Hope everybody is braving the cold right now and has a safe and happy new year!
