Absences: Recent Episodes
Absences
“Absences” is a podcast dedicated to exploring the themes of absence and excess across a wide range of topics from philosophy to theology; music, art, and film; history and mythology; psychoanalysis and ideology; ecology, technology, and politics. We host discussions between ourselves and other thinkers, produce original essays, and provide quality content for the modern autodidactic intellectual.
A philosophy and theology of Deathspell Omega. First published in IMHOTEP magazine, issue #12 via Cultneverdies. Special thanks to Todd from 'A Satanist Reads the Bible' podcast for offering his voice in the reading of DsO quotes, and to Roy Kristensen for making this essay possible.

A few years ago, Damon conducted his first interview with the underground legend Roy Kristensen, author of Imhotep Zine and conductor of the final interview with Deathspell Omega. They spoke primarily about his contact with Deathspell and why the fascination with this mysterious band is so strong amongst their fans. What makes them so special to Roy? How much, or how little, does the man in contact with them for 13 years know about their inner workings? Find out in this episode!
