The last gasp of our old format as we strip away the statistics based notes and transition to a more conversational tone.

To celebrate the season of giving, and due to our inability to put a properly researched episode together this month we have a lighter then usual discussion about some usually maligned bands we feel deserve a second or first look from those that wrote them off.  Plus a brief discussion of some Metal Christmas Originals to liven up your cover laden holiday playlists.

3 topics, one theme, Hardcore Punk's connection to heavy metal. First Don examines some of the more metal minded bands of the NYHC scene, then Iain covers the Swedish D-Beat scene through the years, and finally Zach explores some 80's hardcore dudes who decided to abandon the genre they came up in to try their hand at full on metal to mixed results.  Zach (H/C goes metal)YDI - Black DustWasted Youth - Black DazeDYS - DYSStraw Dogs - We Are Not AmusedOnslaught - Power From HellSacred Denial - Sifting Through Remains Iain (Swedish D-beat)Disfear - Live the StormSkitsystem - Svarta TankarAnti-Cimex - S/TWolfbrigade - Progression/RegressionGod Mother - VilseleddMartyrdöd - In Extremis Don (NYHC's Metalcore connection)Vision of disorder - S/TEarth crisis - Destroy the machinesLife of agony - River Runs RedCro-mags - Age Of QuarrelMadball - Set it offSheer Terror - Just can't hate enough

A thorough, respectful, secular but far from complete look back at a sub-class of music that is mostly ignored by many metal fans, the Christian metal scene of the 80's and 90's. A time when labels like Intense, R.E.X. and Pure Metal were putting out albums on par with some of the heaviest hitters of the secular thrash, death, glam and power metal scene.

Classic Literature, Comics, Video Games, Cartoons, Stupid fashion trends a subset of goth kids seem to like for some reason.

A long over due interview Max & Zach did with Justin from perenial favorites of the podcast Zud back in Sepetember, just before seeing them live, and the same night we interviewed Mary. This was our first interview, recording was bungled a bit, and we were in a parking lot, so forgive the less than stellar audio. For some great quality audio, head over to Zud's bandcamp and buy their new album:   https://zud666.bandcamp.com/

What happens when 4 sleepy dudes attempt to talk about esoteric occult knowledge and heavy metal? the episode length gets out of control. From Thelema to Heathenry, Celtic pagan revivalists to cosmic luciferians. We talk about magick and the men who love it while our own coherance slowly drifts away. Listen as a semingly dignified and respectful discussion of occult knowledge devolves into recollections of Spongebob in-jokes from 6 years ago. Oh yeah we had a guest host.

Tonight, on a very special Are You Morbid? we welcome our friends from Night (Bobby & Matt) over for a a discussion of Author H.P. Lovecraft. Taking a break from our usual album by album breakdown format, we instead give an EXTREMELY brief overview of the author, and take an in depth look at his long association with Heavy Metal and his influence on our own lives. We discuss how Lovecraft's literary rediscovery corresponds to his work being integrated into heavy metal, the genres that use his work most commonly, the effectiveness of their attempts to capture the spirit of his work, and the overall use of his imagry vs. his philosophy. Asides a plenty as we also discuss Lovecraft's stories themselves, cinematic adaptations, and which public figures may be one of Nyarlathotep's thousand forms. Eventually we do get around to recomending some albums and songs for you to try, and talk about where we'd like to see Lovecraft's work taken musically in the future.      Recomendations List Black MetalArkham - Chapter III, the Madness from the Sea (Black Metal/Dark Ambient)Fiendlord - Neuromancy (Symphonic Black)Hypnos - Arcane Moon (Atmospheric Black)The Great Old Ones - Everything (Post-Black Metal)Astrophobos - Remnants of Forgotten Horrors (Black Metal)Crafteon - Cosmic Reawakening (Black Metal)Ancient Niggurath - Horrors and Wonders (Avant -Garde Black Metal)Barabas - The Arrival of Yog-Sothoth (Black)yag kosha - Demo/Dagon Comp (Black Metal)Ultar - Kaddath (Post-Black)ceremonial castings - Cthulue (Symphonic Black Metal)Bal-sagoth - Starfire Burning upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule (Symphonic Black)teen cthulhu - Everything (Black Metal/Hardcore) Black/DoomBrown Jenkins - Dagonite & Death Obsession (Doom/Black Metal)Drowner - Everything (Blackened Drone/Sludge/Doom Metal)Head of the Demon - S/T (Black/Doom)Swampcult -An Idol Carved of Flesh & The Festival (Black Doom) Death MetalThem Vultures - Weird Tales (Death Metal)Portal - Everything (Experimental Death Metal)Chthe'ilist - Le dernier crépuscule (Death Metal)Giant of the Mountain - Moon Worship (Technical Death Metal)The Lurking Fear - Out of the Voiceless Grave (Death Metal)Philosopher - Thoughts (Death)Beast Conjurator - Summoned to the Abyss & Strange Aeons Comp (Death)Smothered - The Inevitable End (Death)Puteraeon - Everything (Death Metal)Sulphur Aeon - Everything (Death Metal)Yogth Sothoth - Abominations of the Nebulah Mortiis (Death)Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka (Death)Massacre - From Beyond Death/BlackInnsmouth - Consumed by Elder Sign (Death/Black Metal)Cosmic Horror - Tales of the Macabre (Black/Death/Slam)Coffin Birth - The Bowels of Chaos (Black/Death)dawn of relic - Lovecraftian Dark (Melodic Death/Black)temple of the demigod - the great old ones (Symphonic Black/Death Metal)the uncreation - Dreaming in R'lyeh (Black/Death)Apparatus - S/T & Cthulhu Trilogy (Experimental Black/Death)Serapheum - Serapheum (Black/Death)Azrath-11 - Everything (Black/Death) Death/Doom & Funeral DoomObed Marsh - Innsmouth (Black/Doom Metal)Thergothon - Stream from the Heavens (Funeral Doom/Death)Aldebaran - Dwellers in Twilight & Buried Beneath the Aeons (Funeral Doom/Sludge)Solemn They Await - Sanctuary in the Depths (Funeral Doom)Colosseum - Everything (Funeral Doom Metal)fungoid stream - Everything (Ambient Funeral Doom Metal)throng of shoggoths - The Cosmic Reconfiguration (Death/Sludge/Doom)eyes of leigeia - Everything (Death/Doom) (Later work is Doom/Black)Catacombs - In the Depths of R'lyeh (Funeral Doom)Innzmouth - Lovecraft’s Dream (Funeral Doom Metal)Tyranny - Tides of Awakening & Aeons in Tectonic Interment (Funeral Doom Metal)The Disciples of Zoldon - Blackened Theological Tome (Doom/Death Metal/Grindcore) Death/ThrashRipping Corpse - Dreaming with the Dead (Death/Thrash Metal)Revenant - Prophecies of a Dying World (Death/Thrash)Deathchain - Death Gods (Death/Thrash) Doom, Sludge & StonerAarni - Bathos (Avant-garde Doom Metal)Shoggoth - Mythos (Stoner Metal)Tentacle - Ingot Eye (Drone Doom)Skyler Alexandre - Whispers in the Dark (Traditional/Doom)Arkham Witch - Legions of the Deep & I Am Providence (Doom/Traditional)Space God Ritual - Everything (Doom)Mad God - Tales of a Sightless City (Stoner/Doom)Evangelist - In Partibus Infidelium & Doominicanes (Epic Doom Metal)Black Temple Below - Into the Black Temple (Sludge/Doom)Tyrant’s Kall - Everything (Death/Doom/Traditional)Yzordderex - Everything (Drone/Doom/Sludge Metal)aeon sphelion - Visions of Burning Aeons (Doom)tortured spirit - Arkham Sanitarium (Doom)Bretus - Everything - (Stoner/Doom)Keziah - The Ocean Is Not Silent (Doom/Sludge)evoke thy lords - Escape to the Dreamlands (Goth/Doom)  ThrashLiving Death - Protected from Reality (Thrash)Mekong Delta - The Music of Eric Zahn (Thrash) TraditionalOlÿphant - Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (Traditional)Terrible Old Man - Cosmic Poems & Fungai from Yuggoth (Hard Rock/Trad)Dunsmuir - S/T (Traditional) Everything ElsePayne’s Grey - Kadath Decoded (Progressive Heavy Metal)Back to R'lyeh - The Awakening- Last fight of the Primordial & The McMurdo Expedition 1909 (Avant-Garde)Infinite Spectrum - Haunter in the Dark (Prog Metal)space mirrors - Everything (Progressive Metal/Space Rock)

Join us on a trip to Germany circa 1984-1988 when the lines between speed metal and power metal were blurring, and black metal was walking right beside it. We present a brief overview of our 3 principal genres around this time, discuss the foundation of Noise Records, it's controversial founder, and the other men behind the scenes who made this music happen.  Albums Discussed: Running Wild - Gates to PurgatoryHelloween - Walls of Jericho & Helloween EPRage - Reign of Fear/Avenger - Prayers of Steel & Depraved to Black Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear & Lucifer's Heritage DemosParadox - Product of ImaginationWarrant - The Enforcer & First Strike EPMephisto - MephistoAirwolf - Victory BellsStormwitch - Walpurgis NightIron Angel - Hellish CrossfireAttack - Danger in the AirAtlain - Living in the DarkSweet Cheater - Immortal InstantBrainfever - Capture the NightStranger - The Bell Intro Music By Zud https://zud666.bandcamp.com/ Check The Playlist Here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL75qT2KaD-zh2Rg2LE0iIU_61IJGuhB6B Bonus Black Metal Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL75qT2KaD-zgYIpTqlVQJu4i1Ka0y8ka0    Paradox Pants   Handsome Boys In Sweet Cheater

A discussion of Thrash in the nineties. The end of the Golden Age and what lie beyond. We reconnect with our favorite bands at the start of the decade, and celebrate those brave (mostly European) firekeepers that dared to carry on the spirit of thrash through a desolate waste land of Nu, Groove, and Nirvana imitations that filled the post-1994 world. Your favorite bands last hurrahs, experiments that worked, and some undiscovered gems. Albums Discussed: Witchburner - WitchburnerThe Mist - The Hangman TreeAntidote - TotalCrionic - DifferentIceland - IcelandTankard - The Tankard Slayer - Divine Intervention Sepultura - Arise Testament - DemonicOverkill - HorrorscopeAspid - ExtravasationDemolition Hammer - Epidemic of ViolenceInvocator - Excursion DemiseEpidemic - DecameronExodus - Impact is Imminent   CORRECTIONS: Axel Thubeauville is mistakenly mentioned as a member of Stratovarious, he is a producer/record label head w/ close ties to the band, but was not a member. More in info in episode 13.

*DISCLAIMER*If this is your first episode, please note, we generally try to be a little more impartial and educational, but we're also bitter angry people and occasionally there's some spillage. So yeah, lot's of strong opinions and rage here. Start with an earlier episode if this doesn't appeal, and know we probably won't be doing this againIn what may have been our worst episode idea yet, we decided to examine 12 albums by bands we hate, or at least thought we would hate. We thought it would be a 3 hour bitch session, tried to make it an in depth examination of why we hated these bands, but it's basically a 3 hour bitch session. We talk about Insufferable fanbases, lyrical laziness, outdated humor, sleazy behavior and delusions of grandeur, plus we use the word objective 15 times and there's a somewhat coherent rant about Eastern philosophies incompatibility with one of the host's deep rooted sense of cosmic horror. We end with 3 palette cleansers from bands we love.

Zach & guest host Max Shoop (ex-Horde of the Eclipse, ex-The Beyond, Storm of Damnation) with an on-site interview at a Zud show with Mary Spiro, founder of the Shadow Woods, both the Metal Fest and the production company. We talk about the festival, the financial and logistical issues of setting up a show of this size, and more. Also with us are local promotor's Dustin Davis, the man behind the metal at Guido's Speakeasy and beyond, and Nick from Lokvlt promotions in Philly. We also talk about setting up and promoting shows in a small town vs a larger city, sexism in the metal scene, the problems with pay 2 play, delusional promotors and more.  Highly Recomend this epsiode to anyone looking to get into promotion and for bands that want to know what an honest promotor looks like, and how to present your music to prospective promotors.

Our 10th episode and our first "WildCard" where everyone picks their own topic. We we're joined by close friend and musician Max Shoop (Horde of The Eclipse, The Beyond, Storm of Damnation). Iain and Max give us a glimpse into the complex worlds of perrenial podcast favorites Akercocke, and The Axis of Peridition respectively, Don shares some of his personal favorites recomended by a mysterious CD Warehouse employee, and Zach explores the skeezy world of Cobra Records, and the underappreciated masterpieces they created. Plus the horrible effects of mold on the human esophegus, two anti-natalists laugh about pro-creation and Bob Dylan sings metal.   *Note. There are a few misspoken words and abbreviated segments in the Cobra segmant. I highly recomend reading our notes for clarification and additional info, plus full transcripts of my talks w/ Gord and Conrad.

From bassists to guest vocalists, dominatrixes to anarchists, we turn the spotlight onto some certified classics, and a few controversial picks as well. We discuss the reasons behind the hate some of these women have gotten, their roles in establishing genres we know and love, and the connections to our heavy metal heroes. Plus,  a fuck you to Brian “Dickhead” Welch, The reincarnation of Beethoven revealed, connections to British royalty, iCarly, and a segment destined to push away any of our fans named Cody. Note: Lots of hard to pronounce names and bands in this episode, full show notes on tumblr/website.

In what is appropriately, and perhaps ironically their longest most bloated episode to date, we start the show with Don’s report on Warped Tour and the recent controversy it’s brought on, and moves right along to a rant about the horrible human being Otep Shamaya has shown herself to be, then Zach continues the ravings with a dig at some shitty Kreator fans. Finally getting on topic (for the most part) the guys discuss 3 subgenres of Doom metal. Don, tackles some early work by the notorious Peaceville Three, and other death/doom from our European friends, Iain takes on the pride of Dixie with some Sludge Metal classics, and Zach struggles to find things to say about the mysterious early ninties forebearers of what would become Stoner Metal. Plus Chumbawumba, the weather’s role in doom appreciation and creation, last week's recommendations and more.

PARAKEET WARNING:Don's normally silent birds had a lot to say for the first third of the episode. you will hear some bird sounds. If it bothers you, they calm down about 30 minutes in, and are completely absent after the first hour. Skip ahead or check out an earlier episode. Birds will be banished next week. Nothing but fan service as we dig into 11 albums recommended to us by friends and each recommend 1 of our own albums discussed are:You'll Live - Moving Past This (Mike Mojecki)KISS - Destroyer (Bryan McMinn)Behemoth - Demigod (Jesse Keiser)Axis of Peridition - urfe (Måne Skyggens)Death -Symbolic (Andy Sheaffer)Judas priest - painkiller (Jason Brathuhn)Morbid - December Moon Demo (Joe Bruzga)Grim reaper - see you in hell (Mad-Dog Matt Jackson)Coroner - grin (Tony Grottola)And Hell Followed With - Proprioception (Hunter Heilig)Fall of Efrafa - owlus (Malice Phallus) RecommendationsZach: Sam Black Church - Let In LifeDon: Nile - Annihilation of the WickedIain: Akercocke -Words the Go Unspoken, Deeds that Go Undone **Music By** Gravehuffergravehuffer.bandcamp.com/ Thousand Pound Destructionthousandpounddestruction.bandcamp.com/ Flesh of the Lotusfleshofthelotus.bandcamp.com Human Collateralhumancollateral.bandcamp.com The Beyondthebeyond666.bandcamp.com/

An in depth look at the Penelope Spheeris cult classic Rockumentary film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. The Good, the bad, the ass-less chaps. We cover it all, from the bands featured and where they wound up to the deeper themes just under the surface of the debauchery. The exploitation of women, the ethics of the pay to play system touted by Bill Gazzari, the lessons learned from Chris Holmes, and more. Plus the industrial connection between Killing Joke and Faster Pussycat, Lizzy Borden revisited, half harmonized Jeff Foxworthy impersonations, our weekly praise of Lemmy, and the unfortunate fate of Jaded Lady. Note: The half developed point I (Zach) was trying to make about Faster Pussycat is that in two years a bunch of bands would be doing what they did 200x better so they suck by retrospective comparison. They suck in general but especially by comparison.

  aka Dr. StrangeLars or: How I Learned to Stop Expecting Quality and Love Death Magnetic   **MUSIC BY NIGHT**soundsofnight.bandcamp.com/ In our first format busting episode the boys of AYM take an emotional journey across the treacherous ocean that is Metallica’s discography. The highest highs, the Lulu-est lows, the stakes are high and tempers flare as we move from the nigh untouchable first 4 albums to the musical equivalent of a flaming skull chain wallet with velcro that is Load and Reload, to the laziness of Garage Inc, the “why?” of S&M, Some Kind of Temper Tantrum that is St. Anger to the “return to form” of more recent years. Plus Iain shares some thoughts on the latest MDF, Zach violates a mother’s trust, Don praises Misstallica, the Pina Coloda Song & much more. P.S. We made this episode with love for James, Kirk and Lars deep within our hearts. Please for the love of Dave Vincent do not send us angry emails about how much we hate Metallica **Special Thanks** VoidHiddenvoidhidden.bandcamp.com/ Thousand Pound Destructionthousandpounddestruction.bandcamp.com/

In a surprisingly dark but somewhat coherent episode, Zach, Don & Iain take a look back on some of metal’s most beloved concept albums, and a few hidden gems too. Hear Don’s defense of England’s most maligned black metal band, Iain shares the tale of a doomed viking expedition to Ireland, and Zach shed’s light on a mostly forgotten Troma-esque crossover thrash album. Behold as the boys explore Nihilism, the lost appeal of power metal in the states, and what may be the darkest album the podcast will ever talk about. Plus Olivia Hussey’s bosom, Slayer’s lyrical laziness, and Nietzsche's syphilis.Albums Featured: ZachBlue Oyster Cult - ImaginosLizzy Borden - Master of DisguiseThe Plasmatics- Maggots The RecordMacabre - DahmerSabbat - Dreamweaver IainEdge of Sanity - CrimsonOpeth - My Arms Your HearseMayhem - Grand Declaration of WarInsomnium - Winter’s GateMeads of Asphodel - Sonderkommando DonBlind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle EarthCradle of Filth - Cruelty & The BeastKing Diamond - AbigailLuca Turilli - King of Nordic Twilight/Prophet of the Last EclipseJag Panzer - Thane to the Throne

In the first episode they aren’t too embarrassed to tell more than 3 people about, an episode so massive its run time exceeds the length of Siege’s entire entire recorded output 10 times over, Iain, Don & Zach select 13 of their favorite “One Album Wonders” bands with one full length release or fewer, and two bands remembered for a single influential release. Bands include Lykathea Aflame, Cynic, Sempiternal Deithreign, Repulsion, Thorns, Morbid Saint, Gotham City, Black Knight and more. Thrill as 3 white men discuss women’s role in music, the irony of intolerance in metal , the importance of comedy, and a horrible Dead Can Dance concert. Plus the early days of Evil D revisited, Satanic drug Cartels, opinions on Ghost, Peter Steele's playgirl shoot and the wonders of geography.
