Everything Went Black Podcast

This week, David Grossman joins us for an epic discussion.  David is a member of the long-standing Philly-based band Rosetta and, additionally, he is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt.  We go deep into a myriad of subjects including the concept of novelty, competition, training and various life philosophies.

Intro:     “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro:   “Itinerant” - Rosetta

John Adam and Toby Poser of the Adams Family / Wonder Wheel Production join us this week.  If are a Necromaniacs listener, you will undoubtedly be familiar with them. I’m had them, along with Zelda their daughter, on a guests  and we’ve covered two of their excellent films, this year’s folk horror Hellbender and The Deeper You Dig from 2019.  We shifted the conversation a bit this time around to talk about music; during my previous chats with them, I discovered that we have a lot of the same interests when it comes to music, so I thought it would be fun to cover that here on EWB. 

Check out the this killer playlists on Spotify embedded in the show notes at everythingwentblackmedia.com.

The last couple of years have been interesting to say the least.  Amidst all of the anxiety, heartache and isolation that I went thru some of the positives were meeting some really cool people.  Karl and I connected, during the depths of the pandemic, over our love of weird fiction, dark music and the occult.  We routinely traded ideas about left hand path philosophy, discussed our favorite writers, bands, films and all of the miscellanea that you can probably imagine.

In this episode, we go deep.  Notably, we talk about Karl’s new podcast Sol Nox and his impending podcast dedicated to Robert E. Howard’s mightiest character Conan of Cimmeria.

Intro:                    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

One of the coolest things about being able to tour is catching up with old friends.  On this most recent US tour, I had the opportunity of kicking it with Steven Williams of Init Records, while we were passing thru Minneapolis.  Steve has been grinding for years, releasing music that he believes in.  If you dig forward thinking, independent music, check out his label.

My good friend Aaron Dallison joins us this week.  I’ve known Aaron for just about a quarter century and have been a fan of his music for the entire time, first in Keelhaul and more recently with Axioma  Their new album “Sepsis”, available on Translation Lost Records is sick; an early candidate for my top 10 records of the year as a matter of fact.
