In this chapter, our cipher makes a brief exchange with New York City’s Lightmaker before speaking with Horehound of Pittsburgh about being part of the underground movement, reacting to our planet’s climate change, and putting together the Descendants of Crom festival.

(A message from the Druid High Priest: We again apologize for the intrusive double bass drum, but we could not prevent the heaviness of MantisMass.)

Support Lightmaker and Horehound!

We sent our cipher to the final Ode to Doom of 2019 and he spent some time with the event organizer, Claudia Crespo, who shares how doom helped her on the path to sobriety, how she breaks down the anxieties of event planning, and keeping Ode to Doom alive from the other side of the country.

Our first entry from the diary. Our guest, August West, regales us with tales from the New Brunswick basement scene and how Sleep is kind of like the Grateful Dead before we delve into the catalogue of The Gates of Slumber (EDIT: We excluded the fact that The Gates of Slumber are playing a reunion show next year at Hell Over Hammaburg).
