Everything Went Black Podcast

Ryan Lipynsky joins us this week.  Likely, you now Ryan from killer bands like Unearthly Trance, The Howling Wind, Thralldom, Villains, Serpentine Path and a ton or others.  Ryan is more recently a founding member of Reeking Aura, a band that I’ve been real stoked on since I first heard them last year. Their 2022 LP Blood and Bone Meal rates high on my best of 2022 and is somewhat of a supergroup featuring members who have done time in bands like Artificial Brain, Buckshot Facelift and Biolich. 

Intro:     “All of the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro:   “Harvesting the Hatchet” – Reeking Aura

Katy Irazzary of Season of Mist joins us this week to talk about the adventures of working PR in the metal world, living in New York City, pizza and being Italian - American.

For anyone who admires hard work and discipline, you have to give Arnold Schwarzenegger respect.  In many ways his success is a manifestation of the “American Dream” that is often referred to.  Ralph and I discuss his careers, his achievements and also acknowledge some of his missteps.

Outro:   “Lost Crew” - Breach

The year is winding down and the holiday season is upon us.  This is the final episode of 2022 and to celebrate the conclusion of another year, I have invited Brandon Legion of the HorrorWolf666 podcast on to talk about ABRAXAS HORN, his brand new musical venture.

Josh Barnett returns to the podcast this week.  I’ve been following his career in MMA and Pro Wrestling for well over a decade; he has worked in pretty much every promotion under the sun including the UFC, Strikeforce, DREAM, PRIDE, Bellator, New Japan to name a few.  In addition to being a combat sports pioneer, Josh is an extremely cool guy and huge fan of metal, philosophy, horror movies and all of the thing we hold in high esteem here at the EWB Legion.

I had an incredible last few days; transcontinental flights, great music and most notable an epic hangout with one of my best friends: Mr. Ralph Schmidt. He capture all of that in this week’s episode.

Just an advance apology for the sound quality.  We were recording in an fairly uncontrolled environment.  

Intro:     “All the Dark Things”

Outro:   “Unholy Passion”

I’ve known Terry Taylor for, by my estimation, 20 years plus.  We met back in my Anodyne days when we toured with his band Caligari. Over the years our paths have crossed on the long winding road.  Most recently, Terry co-own 1313 Mockingbird Lane with his wife Liz, in Lawrence, KS.  Though we spend a lot of time talking about the shop, we also get into deeper topics that will resonate with a lot of you. We all have our own stories over the past two plus years of pandemic life and Terry shares his.

Intro:                    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro:                  “Halloween” - Misfits

My friend Paul Aloisio of Restless Spirit joins us this week to talk about our picks for most disturbing movies; not necessarily the scariest, but the most DISTURBING.

Welcome to the pilot episode of Hollywood Babylon, our “movie classics” sub-series that I am cohosting with my friend Evan Hopper of Quell.  HB will live on our Patreon channel but this pilot is available to everyone to check out.

This week, we dig deep into Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now from 1979.  We go deep into the themes and give out interpretations of some of the possible subtexts that are lurking between the lines of the narrative.

Enjoy!

This is the End of the Harvest Playlist Episode, November Coming Fire.  Jacob Curwen of All Hell joins us this week. We collaborated on a playlist, run down the songs and shoot the shit. This episode has two outros! Two of the mightiest Halloween songs ever, “To Walk the Night” by Samhain and “Ghost Walking” by the Might Sphincter are absent from Spotify and since we use that platform to do these collabs, for fun, I threw them on the end of the episode.

Intro:     “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill
