Here is Dreams of Consciousness Podcast Episode 147, featuring an interview with Patrick Fiorentino of Drouth.

Since forming as Contempt, Portland's Drouth has always included elements of doom and crusty hardcore in their blasting style. Unlike the atmospheric and indie-inflected black metal that the Pacific Northwest has become known for, the band rarely lets its songs stray too far into "blackgaze" territory.

I spoke with Drouth's drummer Patrick Fiorentino about the band's history, their latest album Excerpts From a Dread Liturgy, and how their recent line-up changes has affected their songwriting. We also discussed the video created for "An Apiarist" with Papacy's Brendan McGowan.

My thanks to Patrick for speaking with me, and to you for listening.
