It's October's music exchange (a few days late, but you had four whole horror episodes in October so I figured you're fine). In this installment, Josh and I discuss Darker Days Ahead by Tragedy and A Laughing Death in Meatspace by Tropical Fuck Storm. Also we talk about about audio, video, and photo editing softwares for a bit too long.

Music by Tragedy, Tropical Fuck Storm, and SHADE08

The final episode of horror month! On today's episode, Josiah, Jackal, and Josh discuss John Darnielle's novel Wolf in White Van. Ambiguous on whether it's a proper horror novel, Josh compares and contrasts the book with The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, exploring youthful self-destruction and the darker side of human imagination. This episode is pretty heavy, and it comes with a pretty strong content warning regarding discussion of suicide and self-harm.

Music by Larry Norman and SHADE08

Horror month continues! On today's episode, Jackal and Josiah discuss the fantastic horror mockumentary about xenophobia and scapegoating, Savageland (2015).
