On today’s episode I’m joined by Joe Chen, drummer and vocalist for UK death metal band Vacuous, and writer/review for Grinding Horror Zine.

Joe’s music taste might be on the blacker side, but his FFO of uncanny, heartless and colour was a welcome challenge; after all, an iconic colour palette is integral to the mood of any good horror. Alex Garland’s 2018 trippy sci-fi biobodyhorror has colour in abundance; nauseating yellows and lush forest greens all seeping through the migraine-inducing spill of the Shimmer. Join Joe and I as we discuss disease, decay and death metal.
