          On this special episode, we had the opportunity to interview Justin Lawnchair, the man behind the progressive death metal band, “The Biscuit Merchant” – the latest album Golden Age is the eleventh entry in his Alphabet cycle, which will eventually contain 26 full albums as a complete concept! We are very excited to get to know Justin better and learn more about what went into his albums and the overall story idea! Unfortunately, Christian’s microphone had some technical difficulties, so the episode ended up a little shorter than intended, but we still all had a great time. Check out the Biscuit Merchant bandcamp below:

                      I want to apologize for the delay in getting this episode released. We recorded a couple of weeks ago, but the audio for one of the tracks became corrupted, and then on top of that, I got sick for a week, so we had to postpone re-recording. Expect two episodes to be released this week due to it!

                      For our fifty-fifth episode, we had another incredible cycle with some albums that we’re certain will make it into our top30 for the year, and even an AOTY candidate for Justin! Of course we also have Shrieks and Screams as our topic, so we discuss our top five black metal vocalists and why!

                      We close out the show with an Extreme Submission from the Austrian Heavy/Black/Thrash band Irkalla! They just released an incredible new album called “Skyshatter” on March 13th! Check it out on any streaming platform!
