On this special episode, we had the opportunity to interview Carl Skildum, the man behind several of our favorite projects, including Antiverse, Inexorum, and Majesties! We talk about his latest project Skjolden, as well as his creative process, influences, touring, and more! Of course we also ask some deep dive questions about his upcoming Skjolden album – Insoucient Metaphysical Grandeur. Since recording, we’ve had the opportunity to hear the album in it’s entirety, and it’s fantastic! It was an absolute blast to get to know Carl, and we’re excited for everyone to hear his new project! Listen at the end of the podcast to hear the title track “Insoucient Metaphysical Grandeur”!

For our thirty-third episode, We decided to reminisce about our favorite concerts we’ve been to. Most of them have some sentimental value, and others are just incredible performances. We’ve both attended hundreds of shows, and these are the ones that mattered the most!

Of course, we also discuss each of our top three albums from the incredible past two weeks as well as several honorable mentions. We close out the show with an Extreme Submission from the Iowa based Death/Thrash band “Diezeleater”!

On this special episode, we had the opportunity to interview Kyle Walburn, Brandon Iacovella, and Matthew Longerbeam, the guitarists and vocalists behind behind progressive black metal band “Tómarúm”. We talk about Tómarúm’s creative process, influences, touring, and more! Of course we also ask some deep dive questions about their latest album – Beyond Obsidian Euphoria. It’s an incredibly dense and challenging listen, but one that greatly rewards repeat visits, and will likely end up high on our end of year lists! It was an absolute blast to get to know the guys from Tómarúm, and hopefully we’ll get the chance to see them on tour later this year! Listen at the end of the podcast to hear the track they chose which best highlights the album “Halcyon Memory: Dreamscapes Across the Blue”

For our thiry-second episode, Christian brought the challenge to pick five albums that every metalhead should own, but during our discussion we agreed that there would be a consensus of mostly classics, so we pivoted and decided to pick our personal five “Desert Island” albums.

Of course, we also discuss each of our top three albums from the incredible past two weeks as well as several honorable mentions. We close out the show with a killer track from Inexorum’s latest album “Equinox Vigil”, as part of a vinyl giveaway we’re doing! Listen to the end to find out the details!

For our thirtieth episode, Christian brought a game to the show called “Disease or Death Metal”, where Justin has to guess whether a term is a medical condition or a song name. It’s pretty fun, and definitely informative. It might even give some bands out there some new track names!

Of course, we also discuss each of our top three albums from the incredible past two weeks as well as several honorable mentions. We close out the show with an “Extreme Submission” from Hungarian Melodic Death Metal band “Nefalem”.

For our twenty-eighth episode, we decided to bring on a great group of guys who happen to live in Houston – The boys from Bleak Barrow! As you might remember, we featured their first single “Inviscerate” as an extreme submission on Episode 25 of the show, and they’re coming on and sharing another killer track with us on this one!

While we do have Justin, Thomas, and Will joining us from Bleak Barrow, we treated this like a normal episode, rather than an interview one. That means we still discuss and play tracks from our top three albums from the past two weeks as well as talk about some honorable mentions and some great recommendations from the guys. We close out the show with Bleak Barrow’s latest single – “Destined Death”
