Sharp, angular and difficult to listen to: perfect for the weirdo in your life. Denigrating in the Tanks: Idylls (Brisbane, AU) (0:28-3:02)
Violent, aggressive grind from of course, Denver. Members hail from Primitive Man.
9 Fruitless Years Of Total Fucking Agony: Vermin Womb (Denver) (4:12-8:15)
Dozer is one of my fave bands, and spun-off to Greenleaf, thank gawd because Dozer has been defunct for awhile. Because of the talent, Greenleaf has attracted members from other high-profile bands like Truckfighters and others but I can’t remember.
Ocean Deep: Greenleaf (Sweden) (8:47-14:13)
Greg Wilkinson is brilliant and anything he touches is awesome, raw and relevant.
Sex Teeth: DeathGrave (Oakland) (14:38-16:42)
Local band is making it big, Hornss is getting a ton of press and deservedly so. Catchy, groovey stoner that thrash out, making it very fist-worthy.
Maker Of The Moons: Hornss (San Francisco) (17:25-20:23)
Doesn’t matter that Barghest has one of the stupidest album covers I have ever seen. Their take on black metal is in one word: bad-the fuck-ass. Barghest, is that with a hard g or soft g sound?
Agonizing Spiritual Descent: Barghest (Baton Rouge) (20:52-26:02)
Minot are gorgeous instrumental proggy and math-oriented, but sometimes become groovy and just damn fun. Is that ok? For music to be fun?
Tharsis: Minot (Oakland/NC) (27:25-33:39)
Owl’s new album is akin to the dawn. I don’t know what that means, but maybe it is about dark giving way to energy? If so, I guess that makes sense. It is very darkly pummeling, but doesn’t linger it. Instead it gives way to a larger brighter composition of sound.
We Ascend As We Fall: Owl (Germany) (34:13-37:55)
I would leave you, in a second, for the dude in Misery Index.
Conjuring the Cull: Misery Index (Baltimore) (38:39-43:24)
Swedish heartfelt sad stuff = funeral doom.
Earthless: Doom:VS (Sweden) (44:17-51:47)
Experimental droney growly metal and drone and stuff. Atmospheric!
Väärä Kuu: Katakombi (Finland) (52:15-57:26) Spastic vocals to end the show.
Konditionierungsapparat: Japanische Kampfhorspiele (Germany) (57:59-END)

I discuss Portland as the best scene, and then Agalloch’s new album that totes took me back to the late 80’s – they have this great post-punk influence to this album. F’in A layered in the melody well into this shiznit. Dark Matter Gods: Agalloch (Portland) (0:28-9:02) Psychedelic Japanese, need I say more. I heard some obvious Indian influence in their instrumental stuff. They are improvisational live, so this is a show to check out, if they EVER come out to the west. There Is No Other Place: Kikagaku Moyo (幾何学模様) (Tokyo) (10:33-13:46) Nightfell is a 2 piece, including the awesome drumming of Tim Call from Aldebaran. Funeral Dirge: Nightfell (Portland) (14:13-20:30) Worst name ever, Dopelord, like what the fuck, seriously. But, they jam it out, and that I appreciate. Green Plague: Dopelord (Poland) (21:04-28:23) MAYBE this is an acquired taste, but so is wine and sashimi, the best 2 things on earth. Get your ass out of your head. I am confused by Connecticut though. Piece Of Meat: Vestal Claret (Connecticut) (29:17-34:12) I talk about why the new Serpentine Path is boring, as are most super groups. Origin: Infestus (Germany) The Reflecting Void (34:40-40:48) The newest caustic hardcore that has my full attention. For like, the next 2 minutes because I don’t care about anything anymore. Swelling: Cholera (U.K) (41:00-43:27) Terra Tenebrosa is MY band, I don’t care if you don’t know it. F you anyway. Apokatastasis: Terra Tenebrosa (Sweden) (44:28-51:10) This band is one of the best for epic black metal, and then I just want to die. The Ascend: The Great Old Ones (France) (52:23-END)

Mosh pit metal with a girl lead singer. I think. Insomnia: Svffer (Germany) (0:28-1:59)
Pummeling and sludgey all at the same time!
Instant Death Syndrome: Coffinworm (Indianapolis) (2:56-7:43)
Yeah, I give myself credit for introducing you to Yellow Eyes, and I will keep that credit and lord it over you forever
One Rock For The Wild Dog: Yellow Eyes (Brooklyn) (8:10-13:25)
Groaning, tons of it, and melodic stuff.
Hirudinea: Orox (Buffalo) (13:46-19:31)
Dark crusty hardcore, almost as tuff as Oasis.
Kvarblivelse: Esoteric Youth (Manchester) (19:57-22:48)
Nux Vomica, which is a type of tree, awesome name for a band, has great instrumental compositions in the middle of massive brutal epic stuff.
Reeling: Nux Vomica (Portland) (23:20-27:52)
Occult sludge, with snide vocals.
Nothing Hill: Salem's Pot (Sweden) (28:46-36:24)
Vocals of Thou, and then Thou with the Body or something.
Pill: Thou (Baton Rouge) (37:02-39:59)
Manifest Alchemy: Thou and the Body (Baton Rouge, Portland) (40:01-45:21)
Norse mythology, folk, and black metal.
The Stream: Ifing (Michigan) (46:28-53:19)
Auric is dark sludge, totally rocks out.
Swept and Swallowed: Auric (Arkansas) (54:00-END)
