One of the most dangerous places for me is inside of a record store. It's like throwing a hyperactive child into a candy store: before you know it my arms are filled with new and used CDs and I'm busy trying to figure out which will make the cut. This show is no different: I thought I wasn't going to have enough material to make the show, and suddenly I had more than enough. But my problem is your gain, as we have three upcoming tracks from various albums, starting with Cryogen's latest album (available for pre-order), a single from Napalm Strike, and Peculate's on-going album based on the works of Peter Kropotkin. We follow that with four great stoner / doom masterpieces from Discos Macarras' stable of excellent artists, starting with Santo Rostro, Hera, Oyabun, and finishing with Lowshake. Closing out the show is a warning about those cute demonical creatures that may be lurking in your house at this moment by Leka. It's a show you definitely won't want to miss, and might get you taking a trip (virtual or otherwise) over to the record store. Just make sure you save enough money for cat food.

I'm not sure what shutting the US government will prove to anyone, but I hope it doesn't mean that the Internet will shut down any time soon. Otherwise how will I get you this phenomenal Creative Commons Music? Carrier Pigeon? Hopefully not, as there's a lot of music in this episode, including tracks from Amaroth, Desert Icons, The Reptillians, Bisento, Endless Heights, Etherbeer, NUTRITION, and a receont convert to the Creative Commons scene: Gabezia. But rest assured I have my carrier pigeons on stand-by just-in-case. You never know when they might come in handy.

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or shutdown the government on their behalf. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

It was my birthday last weekend, and as part of my celebration I not only got the opportunity to watch one of my friends get married, but I also got a nice little cold to go with it. So the Open Metalcast studios are a little under the weather. But the show must go on, as it were, and the best Creative Commons metal music available is the best prescription for what might ail you. We've got a mix of great metal from Taketh, Kudai, NUTRITION, Neverside, Civil War, Patrons of the Rotting Gate, Hellcrawler, and Black Horde to infect your ears with the best the net has to offer. And much like a cold you are encouraged to share this with as many of your friends as you can. Shownotes after the break:

In my never-ending quest to put things off until the very last minute (a habit carefully honed over the mumble mumble years of my existence) I'm putting this show together mere moments before the Tuesday that it normally releases. Of course that day is Monday, which is a holiday here in the United States, so that means I'm later than usual. But I'm glad that I did, because this episode managed to catch the brand-new release from Anima Adversa's latest album. We also have new releases from Herlathing, as well as new releases from Antoniogarciavazquez, Sons Of Sin, Radler, Limitless, and Chewrafa. It's an episode you won't want to miss, especially after the post-holiday hangover you'll be nursing at work tomorrow. Shownotes follow:

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or create a national holiday dedicated to their hard-working musicianship. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!
