Beneath the crumbling skies of flesh and bone, the well of all human tears bears an ascetic reflection of a worse reality wherein asphyxiation rituals portend plagues of crypts beneath the veins of God. Lunacy is magnified in the entropic empire, where intrepid repulstion bleeds into lack of empathy. The golden calf lies desquamated, and the nuclear spear assures recurrent and perpetual torment. Cheers, yall!

We travel down a dark road today hand in hand with beast himself, speaking of the Pandemic, the Occult and our connection through the thin veil that is the spirit world where we conjure music of the darkest themes and bring them for in a cacophony DOOM and METAL. This incantation has summoned forth the spirits of Monolord, Eye of Doom, Heavy Trip and Clouds Taste Satanic to begin the ceremony. We slide in some of the darker demon from the underworld Weird Tales from Poland, and Heron one of our favourite local demons.

With the conjuring complete what rises from the ashes are the hedonistic pleasures of The Crooked Whispers, Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Chapel, Mission of Christ, Mr. Bungle and Gatecreeper.

View Details

Black Sabbath's first album was released on Friday, Febuary 13th, 1970. Loud, heavy rock and roll, high-powered amplification, distortion, and drugs existed prior to that, but Sabbath's use of the tritone on the first song of their first album added the final crucial ingredient -- they made the music sound EVIL. That moment represents heavy metal's "Big Bang", the inception of all the metal that has come since.

Today's show (and every show we do) is a celebration of that legacy in all its forms. You'll hear triumphant, sword-raising power metal, ripping, riotous speed metal, beer swilling, Satan-praising blackened thrash, plenty of amplifier-worshiping doom and lots more. We'll dig a song from Australia's legendary hard rock/protopunk band The Saints out of The Graveyard, and get hyped for Church of Misery playing at the Rickshaw on February 28th. Plus, we pay tribute to legendary Cynic and Death drummer Sean Reinert, who passed away last month at the age of 48. Turn it up, and rage at the void with us.
