There's an old saying in electronics that refers to releasing the magic smoke whenever you do something to fry a piece of hardware. Well, my laziness got the best of me, and I released the magic smoke on my trusty desktop computer's motherboard when I swapped out a power supply without pulling the old modular cables. So, this episode is later than usual, but hopefully a belated music-filled episode is better than no episode, and there's a bunch of great stuff in this episode, including new Kudai, new WirgHata, along with tracks from CHOSEN, Havok, and Oak Pantheon. There's also tracks from Cooked Pears, Дубль Пусто, and Forgenheim. But what's really a thrill for me is being able to play the band of someone I've chatted with online for many years who is a member of a band that might be familiar to you: Dropdead. I've been asking for years for them to make something Creative Commons, and finally they're part of the AS220's Spring Sampler 2013 (which is released under a Creative Commons License). With so much great music packed into this episode hopefully you'll agree that it's better late than never, and hopefully I'll remember that just because it fits doesn't mean it'll work.

Ugh. It's full-bore allergy season here, and apparently everything is being marked for death by my body. So to celebrate (?) we've lined up 8 tracks of music loud enough to make even the most stuffed ears hear clearly. And lest you think it's just the allergy medicine talking near the end of the episode, yes, that's just Judicator singing in German for their upcoming album. And you're probably over Crabcore, but are you ready for Duckgrind? It's an episode you won't want to miss, no matter how much cough syrup you've had.

Finishing up this episode while recovering from the amazing convention known as Penguicon which happened this weekend. One of the highlights was one of the staff members dressed in corpse-paint and a hula skirt behind a Tiki bar. That's pretty unconventional, but what's even more unconventional (outside of being, well, outside of the convention) is the cadre of chaos we have in store for you in this episode. There's new stuff by Substance Black, Black Market Serotonin, and Samsara, as well as music from Masakari, cells, The Symbioz, Autarch, and one of my new favorite unconventional bands Toumaï. So get those headphone ready for a ride your ears won't soon forget. Shownotes and links to the bands follow:

Tax season is over (is that why my wallet feels lighter? Must be a new weight loss program.) Hopefully this season was kind to you, but if even if it wasn't, we still have the finest Creative Commons Licensed metal music to suit whatever mood the tax folks put you in. This show is pretty straightforward (unlike the tax code) with 8 awesome bands ready to tear your ear-holes a new one, including new music from Sedulity, Bronze, and Legions Ablaze. You might not be able to deduct the damage your house will withstand from you moshing around, but at least you'll feel better.
