Today on the podcast, class is back in session with our professor of new wave, Adam Elk! But today he's lecturing on a different genre with the same attitude: Punk (with a specialty in Costello). Join us as we learn why Elvis Costello is still so highly regarded all these years later and learn about the state of punk before the genre was cast in stone.Links:Get "One Eyed Band" on the Mommyheads website: https://www.mommyheads.com/Buke and Gass: NPR Tiny Desk: https://youtu.be/-wQv60dxAUU?si=Rks0uVjWBRHKOyOdScoochie Boochie "Car Butt" music video: https://youtu.be/gvjYP5d7La8?si=V0TNkOS471C8khvxFull Livestream of the episode: https://youtube.com/live/kQXYhnWjUII?feature=shareOUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/2stA2P7pTChttps://www.youtube.com/flyoverstateparkEVERYTHING ELSE: https://linktr.ee/FlyoverStatePark
Under Gustav Vasas tid trädde Sverige på allvar in i Europas lärda värld, bokstavligt talat – och det berodde inte på kungen utan på två av hans argaste kritiker. Olaus Magnus och Johannes Magnus var östgötska katoliker som gått i landsflykt till Rom och ägnade sig åt att försöka förmå övriga Europa att ombesörja att svenskarna åter blev katoliker. Sverige måste framstå som så stort och viktigt att katoliker i gemen insåg behovet att hjälpas åt för att Gustav Vasa och hans regim skulle ändra sig – eller störtas. De tog boktryckarpressen till hjälp.Både Johannes och Olof blev med tiden katolska ärkebiskopar i exil, och som sådana hade de gott om fritid – men de var inte sysslolösa. Fritiden omsattes i bokskrivande och kartritande. Olaus Carta marina är den första avbildningen av Norden, och den tillhör de kändaste och mest reproducerade kartorna överhuvudtaget. Johannes skrev en svensk historia som dignade under överdrifter och påhitt, och Olaus skrev sin väldiga Historia om de nordiska folken, som handlade om allt mellan himmel och jord i Sverige och dess grannländer. Det var Johannes som hittade på de många erikar och karlar som gjorde att Vasakungen Erik valde att kalla sig för Erik XIV och lillebror Karl för Karl IX – istället för Erik IX och Karl III, som de egentligen borde ha kallat sig.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om bröderna Olaus Magnus och Johannes Magnus, två svenska lärdomsgiganter i renässansens era.Omslag: Till vänster kungen Gorm, Broder och Buke som färdats så långt norrut att inget dagsljus syntes. På denna plats blir de attackerade av de övernaturliga varelserna till höger på träsnittet.Olaus Magnus - "Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus", Wikimedia, Public Domain.Klippare: Emanuel LehtonenProducent: Urban Lindstedt Hosted on Acast.

What do you get when you combine members of Generation of Vipers, A Storm of Light and Intronaut, then get their collective creative juices flowing about, well... a lot of really heavy shit? (Think global warming, AI, the slow decay of human society in real time... you know! Fun stuff!)Well, you get GUILTLESS! (And also, you get one hell of a heavy listen.)Back in February, the intranational quartet released their new EP, Thorns, via Neurot Recordings, and Buke sat down with guitarist Josh Graham to learn a bit more about it. Throughout their conversation, the duo chat about the band's origins, how they came to work with Neurot, and the long debate they had over whether to release Thorns as an EP or try to stretch it into a full-length. Then, as tends to happen in conversations like these, things diverge. They talk about Graham's "day job" in design, and the increasing creep of AI into his livelihood. They talk about a harsh lesson Graham learned about the music business while performing in an industrial band in high school. They even trade GWAR stories!It's a short and sweet (by our standards), yet still wide-ranging conversation that you won't want to miss.

Hard to believe it's been a decade since Job For A Cowboy graced us with Sun Eater yet here we are on the eve of Moon Healer (Metal Blade) and we couldn't be more stoked for it if we tried. This band occupies a special spot for most of here on staff as they exemplify our varied tastes in death metal and all things extreme. With this album that statement couldn't be more true as it is wildly all over the map yet cohesive and heavy as lead at the same time. Ian screamed the loudest when the news dropped of a new album so it was the obvious choice to get him on with our podcast maestro Buke to discuss all things Job For A Cowboy with bassist Nick Schendzielos. The guys cover the obvious items but as per usual they cover a whole lot more so get comfy and settle in for a spell. Enjoy. 9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
On today's episode, I talk to musician Arone Dyer. Originally from Willmar, Minnesota, Arone began writing songs in high school and even won a contest to perform at the Minneapolis Lilith Fair when she was 18-years-old. But soon after, she developed carpal tunnel syndrome and had to give up playing guitar for many years. After moving to New York, where she took up work as a luthier and bicycle mechanic, Arone met Aron Sanchez, and the two eventually formed the group Buke and Gase, which is named after the instruments they created to play in the band. In the last 13 years, the two have released nine albums and EPs, as well as a documentary about performing live during the first summer of the pandemic. Most recently, Arone recorded a collaboration with the European classical-contemporary ensemble, s t a r g a z e, entitled, appropriately, Arone x s t a r g a z e, and it is out now via Transgressive Records!

By now, and as one of 20 Buck Spin's longest running acts, the death metal institution Vastum needs zero intro from us, or you for that matter. Album number five, Inward To Gethsemane, continues the stomach churning filthiness they've so readily displayed but this time the songwriting and delivery has some incredible punch to it. The band has been long time favorites of most of us on staff but none moreso than our very own Buke who got the opportunity to chat with guitarist, vocalist, and synth master Leila Abdul Rauf and vocalist Daniel Butler about the album, some band history, and tons of other stuff along the way. Needless to say he was excited, as we are to bring you this conversation so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy. Huge thanks to Leila and Daniel for their time!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
This was the first time of 2023 that we picked a favorite the fastest and the most solidified. We've all been fans of Wayfarer's Wild West black metal since their debut and with American Gothic (Profound Lore) this love has grown deeper. It's a fantastic album but I'm sure by now you already know this so we won't bore you with frivolity here. The fam got together with our man on the mic, Buke, to discuss this album, why it's our collective favorite of the month, other albums that grabbed our attention and should have your attention as well, and a ton of other stuff is covered. Fun was had by all as the convo went literally all over the place so grab a comfy seat, your preferred beverage, and enjoy. 9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
HAPPY HOUR FLIX is a podcast all about the movies you love. A nostalgic look at what we grew up watching and how they still impact us today.Today we jump back to one what is quickly becoming one of our favorite years to review movies, 1984....with movies such as the top-grossers Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Karate Kid, Police Academy, Footloose, Beverly Hill Cop, Star Trek III, as well as The Terminator, Amadeus, Nightmare on Elm Street, This is Spinal Tap, Starman, and two we've talked about before, Gremlins and the Last Starfighter, The Never Ending Story is in good company. And our special guest is the man behind the work you hear every week, the Wizard of Oz himself, partner in crime, writer and producer extraordinaire, James Allerdyce. And just like the Wizard he knows just about everything about this movie, sharing a ton of personal insight during the very spirited and imaginative conversation.And of course, a thanks to our good friends over at Misguided Spirits, today's cocktail comes over from Jake's Dilemma 430 Amsterdam Ave, one of the best local spots on the Upper West Side for so long, mixed courtesy of our friend and bartender, PAIGE CORWIN. Also a sick RB singer by the way. With a new single out “Unlearn how to Love You.” You know all the amazing clouds and colors we see in the opening credits? That's the inspiration for today's drink: THE NOTHING SUNRISE1 part Whiskey1 parts blood orange oj2 part oj1/2 part grenadine Orange wheel Build in order over ice in a highball. Grenadine float. Garnish with an orange wheel.Okay back to the movie. Come with us as we explore the setting of Fantasia, the incredible characters, phenomenal performances, the meta upon meta themes that still blow our mind today, and the legendary music and score that, admit it, when you hear it you know exactly where you are. One of the most imaginative movies of the 80's it's approach to grief, loss, hope and fear there is so much to explore. From urban legends about Artax to truly terrifying experiences of Atreyu. There is so much to unpack in this movie, we literally had to cut ourselves off...so come with us as we stretch the world of Fantasia back over the Nothing and ask two of the most important questions of all our discussions: how truly involved was the otherwise never mentioned Steven Spielberg, and does the movie hold up?Now pour that cocktail and enjoy with us!A quick reminder, no matter where you are listening to us, if you could rate us and drop us a review on Apple Podcasts, we'd be so grateful - it really helps us spread the good vibes. Thank you!HAPPY HOUR FLIX is produced by James Allerdyce and Lori Kay, and hosted by Steven Pierce and Matt Mundy.Main Title is by Johnny Mineo.Happy Hour Flix | Movies You Love
For anyone following along in the Nine Circles universe, it comes as no surprise that Autarkh is a huge favorite pretty much across the board. Form In Motion was, and still is, very high on our revisit list as it was unlike anything out there in the metal spectrum at the time. Progressive, epic, monumental, challenging are but some of the words to describe that first effort but even those barely scratch the surface. And now, they're back with their sophomore outing, Emergent (Season of Mist), and yet again will change the face of metal as we know it. Anton and Buke were both ecstatic when presented with the opportunity to chat with 75% of the band (Michele Nienhuis (vocals, guitars), Tijnn Verbruggen (synths, beats), and Desmond Kuijk (bass)) for the second time and wasted no time getting into the new album, what's been going on since they last spoke, and so much more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy. Huge thanks to Michele, Tijnn, and Desmond for their time!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
One might think that with an album name such as Drudge To The Thicket (Profound Lore), California's Fabricant plays around with sludgy doom. However, that couldn't be further from the truth as this debut is squarely in the death metal camp and is technical throughout, brutal at times, charred around the edges, and savvy beyond its years. So yea, you need to get in on this while things are getting off the ground floor. Buke recently chatted with lead guitarist and vocalist Troy Roberts about the new album, some band history, a stint in Mefitis, and a whole bunch more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy. Huge thanks to Troy for his time!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
2017 saw the debut full length release, Primordial Malignity, of Ontario's Tomb Mold and without knowing it changed death metal forever. It basically made everyone take notice and up their games. Now, with their fourth full length The Enduring Spirit (20 Buck Spin), they do the same thing yet again. It's challenging and fluid yet melodious, brutal and unforgiving yet accessible, wildly technical yet super catchy without any sort of cliches. It's been a homerun here at Nine Circles pretty much across the board so we're extremely excited that Buke got the chance to chat it up with guitarist Payson Power and drummer / vocalist Max Klebanoff to shed some light on the band, new album, some backstory, and so much more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy. Huge thanks to Payson and Max for their time!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
TesseracT are as essential for progressive metal as blood is to most living organisms - some may say they are the grandfathers of the term ‘djent' but that's for another day. They've been the lifeblood of the genre since their debut landed in 2011 and have charted their own unique path ever since. Each album finds the band exploring their capabilities and possibilities but none so far has been heavier than their just released fifth effort War of Being (Kscope). As usual, it's massive in scope and the songwriting is next level but the heaviness and clarity here will blow any long term fan out of their seat. Buke recently spoke with bassist Amos Williams regarding the new album, some history, other things coming, and tons more topics. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy. Huge thanks to Amos Williams for his time!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
10/2/23 7am CT Hour - Fr. Burke Masters/ Fr. Francis Hoffman John, Glen and Sarah chat about government shutdown avoided, Apple iPhones burning up and new words added to the dictionary. Fr. Buke breaks down the 7th Commandments and the nuances of this command that we do not think about. Fr. Rocky talks about St. Josemaria and the idea behind Opus Dei and how everyone is called to be a Saint.
Crow Lotus and Capra are no strangers to Nine Circles or this podcast. Their frenetic and damn captivating energy is second to none and with new album Errors (Metal Blade / Blacklight Media) they slam the door shut on any doubters and seal the deal that was inked in blood with their 2021 debut In Transmission. Any of you can find that album on tons of year end lists and this one will leave a bigger mark, trust us. Just ahead of the album's release, our man Buke got the chance to chat, once more, with the inimitable Crow Lotus surrounding the new album, the past, the future, and so much more.

Hey, for once we're not suuuuper late with this thing OR having to double up on picks in the same episode. Anyway, for our Album of the Month pick for August it was nearly an overwhelming victory for Ontological Mysterium (Season of Mist) from one of death metal's brightest stars, Horrendous. And even still, some of us were there in spirit while Colin, Angela, Ian, Vince, Dan M, and Hera discussed this beast with Buke once again helming the festivities. In case you forgot how this works: each member gets a turn to discuss, Buke then asks for final thoughts, then the gang moves into everything else that tripped their triggers in August. Buke was recovering from a nasty bout of the ‘rona so he actually sounds, at times, like a death metal vocalist so there's that. Fun was had by all as the convo went literally all over the place so grab a comfy seat, your preferred beverage, and enjoy. P.S.: don‘t miss our interview with Damian Herring and Alex Kulick!9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
With Ontological Mysterium (Season of Mist) being the fifth full length from Horrendous, it goes without saying that this band is on one hell of a trajectory. And, with said fifth album they've outdone themselves and released the best of not only their career, but most likely in all of 2023. Bold? Yes. True? Also yes. This is death metal for the ages. With both Damian Herring (guitars, vocals) and Alex Kulick (bass) still reeling from the recent release date, Buke sat down with them for an extremely wide ranging discussion surrounding the new album, their career, and so much more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat, and enjoy.

It's slowly becoming the norm that our world gets away from us and we're packing two months worth of album picks, aka podcasts, into one episode. If you like avant-garde, weird, folky black metal, you are in luck since our picks were Alföld (Season of Mist) from Thy Catafalque and Agriculture (The Flenser) from Agriculture and no, nothing to do with farming at all. Buke and the 9C staff have you covered, just like last time, with what is a conversation composed of many, many, MANY words. It's over three hours long, again. So yea, tons of words, tons of catching up, and tons of album talk.Grab a comfortable seat..it's another Album of the Month episode of the Nine Circles Audio Thing.9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

It's been three years since we last had the phenomenally talented Marci T. House in the YVR Screen Scene Podcast hot seat. Back then, we spoke about her then-upcoming role in Julie and The Phantoms, #covidlife, stage acting vs. screen acting vs. architecture, the many ways CBC's Strange Empire was ahead of its time, and why she stays in Vancouver. Since then, Marci has been busy in an array of projects. She lit up the stage in Harlem Duet, a performance that critics called “stellar” and “superb.” And in the critically acclaimed and absolutely thrilling eight-part series The Devil in Ohio, she played Adele Thornton, Suzanne's coworker who'd heard a few things about the darkness hiding in Amon County. She had a fantastic role in Tribal as Victoria Mann, a task force leader who spars with Brian Markinson's Buke, and another as Charlotte, Bean's mama, in Ivy and Bean. More recently, she's been helming Monster High as Headmistress Bloodgood, and she had a powerful role in Rukiya Bernard's poignant short film, Meditation 4 Black Women, which was created as part of the internationally renowned Crazy8s filmmaking competition. Marci also got a puppy named BiBi, a smol French bulldog with his own Instagram account, @bibilefrenchbouledogue. In this riveting and fun interview – which includes plenty of input from BiBi – Marci talks Monster High, Meditation 4 Black Women, her newfound passion for onesies, what actors lose when they can't audition in a room, how far the industry has really come since the summer of “hashtag activism,” and the BiBi of it all.

No one, and I mean no one in the extreme metal game has given us a better glimpse of what our impending apocalypse is going to look/feel/sound like than Cattle Decapitation. For the past nine albums the band have blazed a nasty deathgrind path and put the exclamation mark on it all with their last crowning achievement Death Atlas. So, where to go from there? How about deeper exploration of the textures and ambiance from that album and somehow coming away with a superior final product in the form of Terrasite (Metal Blade Records)! Crazy but oh so true. You'll hear it soon enough but for now, our man Buke got a chance to chat with guitarist Josh Elmore about the new album, some history, their upcoming tour, and a whole lot more.

It has been said that Richmond, Virginia turns out some incredible metal. Enforced are one of those bands that prove it with their brand of crossover thrash that nudges the gates of death and speed metal. With two incredible albums under their belts, their third, War Remains (Century Media Records), turns those on their head and curb stomps them...for real, it's that good. We could go on and on about how good but our man Buke recently sat down with vocalist Knox Colby to discuss the new album, band history, Richmond's metal scene, and so much more (you know how we roll).

There's no doubt as to whether or not Enslaved are household names at this point in their career, and have been for quite some time. With the release of Heimdal (Nuclear Blast) our back office halls went nuts so it was the obvious choice for the March Album of the Month pick. Well... maybe not obvious as in landslide but close. The rest of that story will surface during this discussion as Buke once again captions the episode alongside several of our usual suspects as they cover this album, catch-up discussions since last time, an enormous section on everything else that tripped their triggers across March, and the usual banter back and forth on literally anything and everything. Pro tip: pack a lunch and a case of beer, this one's lengthy.In other words, just another Album of the Month episode of the Nine Circles Audio Thing.9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
Thirty years is a long time, but this year marks exactly that for San Francisco's Acid King. And, they're still the lords of doom and the almighty riff even this far in. Zoroaster and Busse Woods stand as deeply seminal albums as well as stone cold classics. Beyond Vision (Blues Funeral Recordings) is an excellent continuation of their legacy but also marks a chance to really hear its members stretch out and reach for the sky in ways we've never heard before. Buke recently had the chance to speak with Lori S. on the new album and how it came to be, they also discuss her extremely storied history and career, and so much more.

California's VoidCeremony are readying their second full length Threads Of Unknowing (20 Buck Spin) and if you dabbled with their debut, then you already know we're all going to be in for a hectic black and death metal ride. With this band, it's far more than just those two genres, the way they cross the chasm with their music is akin to the old style of jazz improv which to some says prog but to us it's just...massive. Just ahead of the album's release, Buke spoke to mastermind, vocalist and lead guitarist Garrett Johnson about the album, how it came to be, some band history, and so much more.

It's Album of the Month time again and for this edition, Ulthar's third AND fourth full lengths, Anthronomicon and Helionomicon (20 Buck Spin) won the most votes. For those keeping score of these sorts of things, the votes weren't unanimous but really close. Buke once again captains the episode along with Ian, Dan M, Colin, Hera, and Vince. The conversation pretty much dives head first into the album, how it compares to the band's first two, and deep thoughts surrounding it all and Ian gets lengthy runtime here since he nailed the double review. Elsewhere, the gang spends a good portion of the runtime gushing over everything else they listened to since they last spoke, and the usual banter back and forth on literally anything and everything.In other words, just another Album of the Month episode of the Nine Circles Audio Thing.9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
Metal fans know the difference when categorizing a band as tech death versus technical death metal. But, for those unaware, the former implies a bunch of noodling and wankery just because it can be done while the latter implies an actual gift for the technical side of death metal. And that's precisely where you can find France's Gorod as they've been cranking out extremely “technical death metal” now for over 25 years. The Orb, their seventh full length, finds them at their best; mind-bendingly technical, more brutal than ever in their attack, and quite possibly some of the best songs the band has ever written. Buke recently had the chance to chat with vocalist Julien “Nutz” Deyres about the new album, how it came to be, and many other topics.

Enslaved is a name known far and wide by fans of metal and well beyond. The band are celebrating over 30 years which is in and of itself amazing, even more amazing is that they are more vital now than they've ever been. Over the years their sound has evolved but they've always kept their black metal roots intact and fully alive. Heimdal (Nuclear Blast Records) sees the band push their progressive nature even further while keeping a firm hold on icy venom and, no surprise, it's an epic and glorious album. Buke and lifelong Enslaved fan Colin pair up to chat with drummer Iver Sandøy about the album, how it came to be, and many other topics along the way.

If anyone would‘ve hinted at Obsequiae and Inexorum combining forces in a new band, Majesties brand of 90s loving meloswedeath would not have been the first assumption. Yet, here we are on the eve of Vast Reaches Unclaimed (20 Buck Spin) and it's an absolute beast of an album full of everything fans loved about that timeframe in melodic death metal. It's almost as if these guys wrote the next chapter of the genre and the past twenty five years never happened. Buke recently sat down with Matthew Kirkwold (bass), Carl Skildum (guitars), and Tanner Anderson (guitars, vocals, drums) to get the lowdown on this new band and album, how it came to be, and so much more.

One thing is for sure, Memoriam don‘t need us to rekindle their storied history in this band or their members long and legendary careers. Basically, if you don't know them by now you are on purpose avoiding it…they are just that much a part of death metal. For their fifth album, Rise To Power (Reaper Entertainment), it's all about diversity and varying up the songs just a bit. And no, that doesn't mean they've done a 180. It simply means, they're building on what they've created over the course of the past four albums. Is it heavy? Yes. Still trademark Memoriam? Yes. Better than their previous outings? Our opinion only, but YES. Their sound is as vital to death metal as air and water is for humans to keep living and it only gets better with time. Buke recently sat down with the genre defining vocalist Karl Willetts to discuss the new album, how it came to be, Memoriam's and its members histories, and a ton more.

The format “loosely” follows a round robin style of five picks with some honorable mentions thrown in for good measure.

Album of the Month time again and for November the winner was Dream Unending's second full length Song of Salvation (20 Buck Spin). The usual gang of suspects, along with some new blood, join in along with our main man on the mic Buke leading the charge. The gang spends time covering how this album compares to their last and why this one somersaults over their last effort. Elsewhere, the gang spends a good portion of the runtime gushing over everything else they listened to since they last spoke.

Supergroups in extreme metal take on a whole other meaning when it's comprised of Dave Witte, Mathias “Vreth” Lillmåns, and Phil Hall. Those names are synonymous with some of the best offerings extreme metal has to offer. And now with Morbikon, this supergroup crosses the threshold of 90s era Scandinavian black metal and melodic death metal on their debut Ov Mournful Twilight (Tankcrimes). To say this album rips would be a gross understatement, but with its membership this should surprise no one. Buke recently spoke to Phil "Landphil" Hall, who handles guitar and bass here, for a wide ranging chat about the band, the album, how it all came to be, and so much more.

Norway's In The Woods… have had a much storied trajectory over the spectrum of time since forming in the early 90s. Early on they were black metal to the bone but as many bands have done, they morphed into a progressive rock band with a black metal heart. And it has paid off in spades. One listen to Diversum (Soulseller Records) and it's clear they have a hard grasp on what it means to age with grace and distinction. It's an epic journey that begs repeat listens and now that the weather here in the States has turned colder, it's like a warm blanket and a spiked cup of coffee. Buke recently sat down with guitarist and keyboardist Kåre André Sletteberg to find out more about the band and the album, and as always, a whole lot more.

Death, gore, zombies, chainsaws, horrors of all sorts; these are all topics Exhumed have covered over their thirty plus years of existence and across a multitude of releases. The latest of which, To The Dead (Relapse Records), finds these deathgrind masters as blood soaked as ever. You'd think that in that many years there might be misstep or something just out of place, but this isn't the case as every single album is better, and more destructive, than the last. Buke recently sat down with split guitarist and vocalist, and founding member Matt Harvey as they cover the new album and how it came to be as well as some band history, juggling tons of projects, and so much more. We now bring you this conversation in its entirety so grab your beverage of choice, a seat or a coffin lid, and enjoy. 9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram.
Album of the Month time again and for October the winner was Goatwhore's eighth album Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven (Metal Blade Records).

The gang spends time covering how bad ass this album is as well as the band's past and their road to the present.

Denmark's Orm have been active since 2015 and with their last two albums the band have shown a deep understanding of epic and melodic black metal that at times veers close to atmospheric and at other times close to the vicious and raw side. It's a beautiful amalgamation and even more so on their latest, Intet • Altet (Indisciplinarian), where they opt for longer compositions and more time to explore their multi-faceted approach. Buke recently spoke with drummer Adam Bjørn Schønemann-Warming to discuss the new album and how it came to be, the choice for longer songs, and so much more.

Some 40 years and change has seen a lot in the Voivod camp. A handful of genres crossed, a deep discography, and tons of rabid fans that soak up anything and everything they can get their hands on. The Voivod of today makes some of the best sci-fi metal you're likely to ever hear and on their newest EP, Ultraman (Century Media Records), they offer a stunning tribute to the TV series theme of the same name. As if that's not enough, the EP also offers some bonus live tracks. Buke recently sat down with vocalist Denis “Snake” Bélanger to discuss the new EP, the band's deep history, and so much more.

Texas is known for a lot of things, and metal is one of those things. San Antonio in particular is home to none other than melodic black / death metallers Scars Of The Flesh who are about to release their third full length In Darkness Alone (pick it up here). Debut Harvest Of Souls was a barnburner and follow up Reaching Into The Void was a projectile of incendiary violence that far eclipsed the debut in many ways. In Darkness Alone stands to be the album that truly puts this band on the map with five brand spanking new tracks alongside four amazing cover songs that the band truly makes their own. Buke sat down with lead guitarist Bryan Eckermann, rhythm guitarist Derek Russell, and vocalist Kobey Lange to discuss the new album, how it came to be, and so much more.

North Dakota's Phobophilic may be a new name to some but they've been mining the death metal underground since 2016 in the form of demos, EP's, and fast moving recommendations from those 'in the know.' But now, they have a vicious debut full length, Enveloping Absurdity (Prosthetic Records), and are set to turn heads all over the death metal sphere. Buke recently spoke with guitarist Josh Poer about the new album, how it came to be, some backstory, and a ton more.

It's been awhile since last hearing from Daeva. Five years to be exact. And since that time they've taken their brand of sweaty, priest burning black / thrash metal to a whole new level. Their EP, Pulsing Dark Absorptions, was a lightning rod, but debut full length Through Sheer Will And Black Magic… (20 Buck Spin) will turn heads far below the southern end of the cross. To put it in quick layman's terms; imagine Mayhem and GG Allin in a knife fight and you're in the realm of what's included here. Buke recently spoke with guitarist Steve Jansson and drummer Enrique Sagarnaga about the new album, how it came to be, their much lauded Crypt Sermon ties, and a ton more.

Goatwhore started out, at least for me, as the band you wanted to hear but couldn't get your hands on any material. That was then. And now with their eighth full length Angels Hung From The Arches of Heaven (Metal Blade Records) these dudes are a household name in any house that lifts up damn good metal. Call it blackened thrash or thrash and death with a splash of black metal or whatever you want to call it, bottom line is this band rules and that's all there is to it. Ahead of the new album, which rips the door to hell wide open, Buke got the chance to chat with guitarist and part vocalist Sammy Duet about the new album and how it came to be as well as the Goatwhore ethos and how it plays into metal in general. But, they don't stop there, a ton is covered beyond that, rest assured.

Four albums in with From the Fathomless Deep (Ripple Music) and Behold! The Monolith are heavier than ever. Call it sludge with black metal and progressive tendencies, call it metal with a nasty attitude, or call it whatever you want; these guys hit and hit hard. There's no denying that fact. Buke sat down with guitarist Matt Price for a wide ranging discussion surrounding their new album, some band history, and so much more.

It's been five years since Acephalix last graced the death metal scene and a lot has happened in that stretch of time. But, the band's upcoming fourth full length, Theothanatology (20 Buck Spin), is the kind of barbaric brutality we've come to think of from the now quintet, yet better, more furious, and nastier than ever. While it's true we'll have to wait just a bit longer to hear it in full, Buke sat down with bassist Erika Osterhout for a wide ranging discussion surrounding this new album, the meaning behind the title, and so much more.

Since forming in 2006 and presenting their debut in 2011, Finland's Brymir has captured lightning in a bottle with their symphonic laced and hard hitting melodic death metal. And now with their fourth full length Voices In The Sky (Napalm Records) the band is in juggernaut mode with their best songwriting and heaviest yet most epic songs to date.

Since 2006, Boston's Revocation have churned out some of the most progressive and highly technical death metal.

And it is GLORIOUS.

The UK's Conan are the heaviest doom metal band on the planet right now. Full stop and let that sink in. If their previous four albums haven't convinced, turn your attention to their fifth and newest offering Evidence of Immortality (Napalm Records). Their brand of doom is the embodiment of Mad Max level of destruction set low and slow and tuned down to the gates of Hell and this album just puts an exclamation mark on that statement. Buke sat down with guitarist and vocalist Jon Davis for a wide ranging discussion surrounding the album, the band, and much more.
