Sam sits down with Colin Davis of Vile and The 01 EXPERIENCE. We discuss Colin's time back in early 90’s as the death metal scene was first exploding, the mastering work he’s done on a slew of albums, what it takes to create art, Carl Jung’s idea of “the shadow”, the nature of consciousness, his new project - The 01EXPERIENCE, and a whole bunch of other stuff! Thanks and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Vance Valenzuela of Vale of Pnath. We discuss their brand new EP, "Accursed", including the awesome new black metal sound they've incorporated and the story behind the sick album artwork. We also touch on the band's unique, Lovecraft-inspired name, Vance's love of photography and horror movies, and the fact that there's creatures known as "D-holes" and "B-holes" in the Cuthulu mythos. Finally we close things out with the wicked closing track off Accursed, "Spectre of Bone". Thanks and enjoy!

Way back during year one of this show, we recorded a conversation with the entertaining and knowledgeable (& practicing Satanist) Shea Bile where we covered the connections that metal music has with Satan. It was one of my favorite episodes to take part in, and it still consistently ranks as one of our most popular episodes. But there was so much we went over, that some interesting points didn't get the airtime that they deserved. So, there was only one thing to do - bring Shea back on to record "The Satanic Sequel"!!! Joining the two of us is another previous guest host, Brandon, from Episode 4: The Heavy Metal Subgenre Round-table Discussion. Brandon, Shea and I cover a wide range of topics: from religious musings, to a more in-depth look at the history of Satan, to the Satanic Ritual Abuse Scandal of the '80's and 90's. We somehow even get sidetracked on the misconceptions that various ancient cultures had regarding the virtues of anal sex, and finally close things out with an amazing, metal-AF, spoken word track from Shea himself! Thanks and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Nico and Mark of Kardashev. We discuss their unique "deathgaze" sound, the band's physicist-inspired name, and chat a bit about about the language Mark invented for their most recent EP, "The Almanac" (during which, Mark even busts out his Klingon-language skillz). We close things out with the "Mailbag" and "Whip it Out" segments, and their single "Between Sea and Sky". Thanks and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Nick Padovani and (once again!) Stevie Boiser of Equipoise. We look back at their 2016 debut release and discuss the band's decision to give to the Jason Becker Foundation, chat a bit about their anime-inspired lyrics, cover their upcoming LP, "Demiurgus", and briefly go over Nick's Blink 182 pop-punk phase in life. Lastly, Nick & Stevie join Sam in answering some of the audience's questions and then close things out with the brand new single, "Dualis Flamel". Thanks, and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Cesar Moreira of Enblood! We dive into their 2018 debut (and completely kick ass) album, "Cast to Exile", discuss the formation of the band, and Cesar describes how nearly every metalhead in Portugal is really old....like Sam. Thanks, and enjoy!

Sam sits down with special guest host Stevie "Big Boi" Boiser (vocalist of Inferi, Equipoise, Tethys, and Ashen Horde) to count down the best metal of 2018. Top 3 EP's, Best of the Rest, Top 10 Albums and Track of the Year for each host are discussed.

Sam sits down with Hugo Doyon-Karout, the bad-ass bass player of Beyond Creation, to discuss their awesome new album, "Algorythm". Other topics touched on include the forthcoming debut album from Equipoise, Hugo's beginnings (and future) with Brought by Pain, cockroaches, poutine, and mindfulness meditation . Thanks, and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Riley McShane of the almighty Allegaeon! We discuss their upcoming album, "Apoptosis". We also discuss how humanity can improve, the criminally underrated Son of Aurelius album, "Under a Western Sun", the upcoming Continuum album, and the types of noises that Riley's father thinks come out of Satan's butt hole. Thanks, and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Kent and Rod (and eventually Ben) of Mordant Rapture. We discuss their bad-ass debut EP, "The Abnegation", as well as the subject of the album art: Manderpig! We also rap about Hans Zimmer and the frail skin of the elderly. Thanks, and enjoy!
