Happy Holidays to all of our InObscuriacs out there. Due to the abundance of amazing new releases in the world of rock n’ punk n’ metal, we are once again going to forego our annual Christmas episode for a 2-parter Shallow Graves 2024! At the end of every year, Kevin does a solo episode celebrating top releases of the year, but there are too many artists that Captain Content heard this year, where he said, “…I’d like a little more of that”! So, Kevin’s Christmas present to the Captain is songs from artists that he said he dug… Hope you dig these 2025 tunes also!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or grouping of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we look back on bands that released new rock n’ punk n’ metal in the year 2025 that piqued the Captain’s interest. Hopefully, you get turned onto something new!

Songs this week include:

1. Thundermother - “Speaking Of The Devil” from Dirty & Divine (2025)
2. ZOAHR - “Zephyr” from Mosaic (2025)
3. Speed Of Light - “Pain On A Chain” from Pain On A Chain – Single (2025)
