Tolstoy poses the problem of art, the reason why art must justify itself. Criticizing the existing conceptions of art's value, he puts forward his own theory as to art as communicative, then attacks what he considers to be the self-absorbed art of the upper class and the counterfeit art that has captured European culture. Eventually, Tolstoy comes to the conclusion that true art is aimed at the Christian vision of the unification of man. This is the conclusion of the second leg of season five.

In this installment of the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series, O.F. Cieri reads an excerpt from her novel ‘Backmask' and discusses the inspiration behind the story and the music that shaped it. Inspired by pop music history and written in the style of ‘60s horror pulp, ‘Backmask' is the fake history of a conspiracy theory surrounding the Satanic agenda to control children's minds. Nicholas Hush, 1960s record producer, has a vision for the future of pop music. After a series of prophetic dreams, he wants to combine occult imagery with upcoming trends to create a new, groundbreaking look. His secretary, Valerie Chill, is tasked with finding consultants and funding while he crafts the perfect album. Quickly their project becomes entangled in other, larger machinations, and two teenage pop acts become responsible for international intrigue, brainwashing, and an occult massacre. Taking inspiration from the lives of Joe Meek, Phil Spector, and Timothy Leary, ‘Backmask' is a speculative look at how hidden messages got into pop music. O.F. Cieri is a self-taught writer based out of NYC. She has been published in ‘Ligeia Magazine' and ‘Misery Tourism'. In 2013 she won first place in BMCC's Poetry Competition. In 2016 she won an Honorable Mention in LaborArts Make Work Visible Competition. Her nonfiction has been carried by ‘Hyperallergic' and the ‘Invisible Oranges'. In February of 2023 she published her second book, ‘Lockdown Laureate', with Castaigne Publishing. Her third book, ‘Backmask', was published by Malarkey in June of 2023.   MUSIC IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Rock is Lit theme music [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop” The Moontrekkers – “Night of the Vampire” Bauhaus – “She's In Parties” The Cramps “The Goo Goo Mack” [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop” Rock is Lit theme music   LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350 O.F. Cieri's website: https://ofcieri.com/ O.F.

Langdon talks to Ian Cory, former editor-in-chief of the almighty Invisible Oranges blog and now lead of genre-agnostic (but generally heavy) band Lamniforms.

I am joined by early metal blogosphere music writer and black metal enthusiast, Jon Rosenthal (Invisible Oranges, Decibel Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan). Jon leads us down a rabbit hole of eight fantastically bizarro black metal tracks. We're talking operatic vocals, proggy breakdowns, Matrix-style club beats, dreamy lo-fi dirges, bebop covers, and other crimes against black metal orthodoxy.    Follow @ronofjosenthal on Twitter  Read Invisible Oranges, one of the oldest and still the best metal blog in the whole damn world Here is a list of excellent interviews and album spotlights to accompany Jon's tracklist: Ved Buens Ende: Written in Waters Deep Into the Brousse: Lugubrum's "Albino de Congo" Ten Years Later Records of the Week With Jon and Ted: Solefald's The Linear Scaffold Haunted By Horror: A Conversation With Diabolical Masquerade The Inarguable: Interview with Mamaleek Get this episode on all podcast apps.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel met up with the members of Lunar Chamber - "They, Who May Not Be Perceived," "Timeworn Nexus," and "Æther Lotus" - to talk about their debut EP "Shambhallic Vibrations" and their esoteric - and the word absolutely applies here - approach to death metal.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by An Evening Redness's Brandon Elkins, sat down with Khanate members Alan Dubin and James Plotkin to talk through the band's surprise-released newest album. We talked about how Khanate crafts their torturous, long-form extreme music and what led to the band's resurrection.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by Musk Ox's Nathanael Larochette, talk to Tenhi members Tyko and Ilmari about the intricacies of the creative process, the inner workings of Tenhi's discography, and why it took over ten years for this Finnish band to release the followup to 2011's Saivo.

On this episode of the ATI Podcast hosts Barrett and Josh welcome guest Lauren Palma, guitarist/vocalist, of BLEETH (MIAMI, FL). In the open of the show, Barrett and Josh recap Trump New Hampshire Town Hall from CNN, and St. Louis Cardinals baseball talk. The ATI boys & Lauren dive deep into the authentic sound and creative approaches of BLEETH, from Astro Kats to BLEETH, Miami & Midwest/STL heavy music scene, discuss BLEETH's recent tour of the Midwest and experiences, their highly anticipated forthcoming album, creative influences, how much we despise Ron Desantis and so much more! Barrett and Josh close out the show detailing the upcoming ATI Podcast guest list/agenda, and promote STL PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET at KIENER PLAZA MAY 27, 2023.

Their visceral heavy sound is grounded in an aggressively melodious genre-fusing experience. Since their formation in 2014 they have been featured on Miami New Times as part of the essential metal bands to see when visiting. BLEETH's self released 2015 EP, Re-animator, took them touring up and down the East Coast, ultimately catching the attention of Anti-Language Records (LA), who released the bands first full-length album Geomancer on August 3rd, 2018. Geomancer helped establish BLEETH on a national level, with coverage on Decibel, Revolver, Invisible Oranges, and more. After completing East Coast, Midwest tour and Florida tours., the band returned to the studio to work on their next album. Ryan Haft, an established live sound "go-to" for bands like Torche, Red Fang, Eyehategod, Big Business, OM, and more, recorded and mixed the band's forthcoming release. The new songs mark “a shift in a new direction”—shorter and faster than past records, with particular emphasis on atypical tunings and arrangements. Appropriately titled, Harbinger, delves into internal struggles the band had with faith in self, public institutions, moral authority, and the afterlife. BLEETH has a growing fear that new technology and crisis would bring our society closer towards authoritarianism. The album title Harbinger is a reference to the omens these internal struggles imply for the future of human society. “BLEETH's sound is already massive, full of angst and virtuosity. They provide us with yet another example of the true Miami contemporary metal sound: heavy bass, guitar riffs that balance complex melodies with foggy atmosphere, and drums with a Latin groove. “-Bandcamp Scene Report : “Diving into Miami's Doom and Sludge Sound”  Special thanks to Ben Sharp of Cloudkicker for the ATI Podcast open!

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by columnist and dungeon synth encyclopedia Kaptain Jonathan Carbon, interview dungeon synth artist Vaelastrasz, who discussed creating sportswave, the dungeon synth community, comfy synth, and more.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by the intrepid Justin Taylor, interview prolific multi-instrumentalist and creative force Garry Brents, whose upcoming Memorrhage album is bound to redefine the nu-metal revival. Beyond that, we discuss Brents' extensive back catalog, ranging from Cara Neir's digital hardcore to SAL's post-metal/goregrind fusion, and even some surprise, forgotten projects from the mid-2000s.

Keith and Geoff welcome Spotlights mastermind Mario Quintero into Thunderlove Studio to chat about the band, their career, and their upcoming album, Alchemy For The Dead (drops April 28 via Ipecac Records). Spotlights is Mario Quintero (guitar, vocals, keys), Sarah Quintero (bass, vocals) and Chris Enriquez (drums). The band has released three albums to date: Tidals (2016) Seismic (2018) Love & Decay (2019) Consequence praised their “unique amalgam of sounds that is both heavy and heavenly.” Brooklyn Vegan said Spotlights “balances the pretty with metallic sludge” Invisible Oranges said they thrive “on the ambient and krautrock inspired edges of post-metal.” Geoff Calhoun of Abandoned Albums said "Spotlights are mind blowingly good." In the wake of their 2020 EP We Are All Atomic, Kerrang! observed, “That a band as heavy and romantic as Spotlights have become a fixture in the rock scene Is impressive; that they've done it in such a short period of time is tremendous.” The band is on tour NOW - check them out!!

Invisible Oranges editors Jon and Ted, joined by Ben Smasher, talk with Majesties about their recent album "Vast Reaches Unclaimed." The band, comprised of Carl Skildum and Matthew Kirkwold (both of Antiverse and Inexorum) and Tanner Anderson (Celestial, Obsequiae), plus new drummer John Kerr, are keenly interested in melodic death metal's earliest iterations, and that passion inspired a record which brings that past to new, vivid life.

Enlisting Doldrum and Erraunt multi-instrumentalist Oneiric (aka Ben D.) and our friend Ben Smasher, Invisible Oranges spoke with the sole remaining founding member of Dødheimsgard, Vicotnik–also of Ved Buens Ende and Dold Vorde Ens Navn. We discussed their upcoming record "Black Medium Current," which represents yet another leap forward for the adventurous band, as well as their past history–notably Vicotnik's experience in Norway's burgeoning early '90s black metal scene.

In this episode, we have a very special guest by the name of Ian Chainey (a.k.a. Wolf Rambatz). Ian has been writing about metal for approximately 20 years with publications such as Stereogum and Invisible Oranges, as well as with his own Plague Rages substack containing the Booster and VaccZine newsletters. He is also a co-host of no fewer than THREE podcasts: Plague Rages, Nu Metal Agenda, and Runout Grooves.    We put Ian through the BUTT BLAST GAUNTLET with a series of impossibly difficult questions to answer. What does regionalism look like in metal today? What does the future of metal journalism look like? Why did Danish black metal never take off in the wake of Mercyful Fate's success and wide-ranging influence? Who are the musicians behind metal's longest-enduring mystery, the Lords of the Crimson Alliance? These questions and more WILL BE answered on this episode of the Butt Metal Blast Cast.

Today I am joined by musician and writer Ivan Belcic. Ivan is the vocalist and drum programmer for Kosmogyr, a black metal band he formed with guitarist Xander Cheng while living in Shanghai. When he isn’t writing his own music Ivan also writes about other up and coming metal bands for the blog Invisible Oranges, which is where I first met him.

In 2020, we made a change to how we used our Twitter platform -- namely, instead of just linking to content, we started engaging with listeners, both through humor and increased interaction. Andrew Rothmund, Joe Aprill, and Langdon Hickman discuss the changes and the impetus for them, plus general reflections on comedy to kick things off.P.S.: Follow us at @invisoranges on Twitter!

Together with American Songwriter we had the pleasure of interviewing Bloodbather over Zoom video! Broward County, Florida-based metal band Bloodbather — Kyler Millo [vocals, bass] and Salem Vex [guitar, synths] — released their new EP Silence via Rise Records."'Silence' is about being manipulated for a long time and realizing it, but not really having the power to retaliate at the time, which then pressures you to become stronger to overcome this oppressive figure," Kyler shares about the uncompromisingly brutal track.Bloodbather were recently christened an "Artist You Need To Know" by Revolver, which lauded the band's ability to craft "nasty, gnarly metallic hardcore rendered all the more suffocating by layers of industrial texture" and featured them in a multi-page spread. Formed in 2018, Bloodbather stormed out of the gates with the independent EP Pressure. The release has since amassed 666k Spotify streams — how metal! — as the group built its live reputation by sharing the stage with everyone from Whitechapel to Carnifex to Of Mice & Men, and by appearing at the notable This Is Hardcore festival.Bloodbather enjoyed early praise from the tastemakers at Invisible Oranges, who stated that the band "swings their music like a battle-axe into naysayer faces, living up to their namesake with flying crimson colors." They earned additional acclaim from SVBTERRANEAN, which proclaimed them "one of the newer bands to embrace and reformulate the angst-ridden, chunky metalcore of old, and one of the newer bands to do it right." Bloodbather signed with Rise Records in 2019 and subsequently hit the studio in Tennessee alongside producer Tate Mercer [Better Off, Chamber, Hampton].Armed with a take-no-prisoners approach and an EP that leaves an indelible mark, Bloodbather are on the verge of becoming one of heavy metal's next big things. The band will most certainly appeal to fans of Code Orange, Knocked Loose, and Vein.We want to hear from you!

Invisible Oranges writers Andrew Rothmund, Langdon Hickman, and Joe Aprill reflect on Power Trip frontman Riley Gale's passing, then discuss album reviews -- who reads them, and are they worthwhile?

Invisible Oranges writers Andrew Rothmund, Langdon Hickman, and Joe Aprill discuss their heavy metal "origin stories," then talk about seminal documentaries that changed the way they understand heavy metal. This double-length episode also features an interview with Scott Carlson, founding member of Repulsion with a host of other credits to his name.

Today’s guest is Emmet Penney, a writer whose work I edited when I worked for Invisible Oranges. Recently one of Emmet’s best articles, about the material conditions that led to Nu-metal’s popularity, started to make the rounds on Twitter. Around the same time I was doing a deep dive into the discography of Korn, the band that inarguably made nu-metal a trend in the 1990s. The timing felt fortuitous, so I reached out to Emmet and asked him if he wanted to talk about Korn at length for the podcast. Our ensuing conversation is in part a summary of Emmet’s original article as well as our collective analysis of Korn’s impact and importance to the American cultural landscape in the late 20th century. You can find Emmet's original article and his Medium below: http://www.invisibleoranges.com/life-is-peachy-nu-metal-and-america/ https://medium.com/@DumbAristotle

Invisible Oranges is "The Heavy Metal Blog." Editor-in-chief, Andrew Rothmund, joins us to discuss his role, interviewing metal icons, and finding writers.

Godthrymm released their debut album, Reflections, on 14 February, 2020.Catch up with Peter and Animesh, and subscribe to the podcast at www.hornsuppod.comSubscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or add the RSS feed to your preferred podcast player.

If you’ve been tuning in to the last few episodes, you’ll be aware of the ongoing discussion about the Black Flag reunion, be it the Keith Morris fronted Flag or the Greg Ginn Black Flag. A few months ago, I wrote a piece for Invisible Oranges about this very topic and went on record with my point of view. For me, it’s a complicated topic; Black Flag has influenced me on many levels, as a direct music influence or as an example of how to get the job done, so I had strong emotions when I discovered that there was talk of them reforming. Josh Bayer, who many will be familiar with from his appearances on this podcast, as well as his amazing comics, pointed me to an article that Erick Lyle had written for Vice aptly titled “Can I Get in the Van” which chronicled his journey down to Lyle Texas to audition to be Black Flag’s bassist. It gave me another angle to look at this evolving story; a must read for those of you who have been following this story. Josh was friends with Erick, so I reached out to him about possibly getting Erick to be a guest on the podcast. He was game, so we went for it.

It's been a few weeks since the last podcast but I'm back on track. It's been a grind, spending way too much time on stuff that's not compelling, not to mention the war I've been waging against bedbugs.  Fred Pessaro, the newly installed editor-in-chief of Invisible Oranges is back along with Sam Marble, photographer / Jersey Girl / Heavy Metal Enthusiast is also in the house for a spirited discussion of the recent acquisition of Invisible Oranges by Brooklyn Vegan, SXSW recollections, the ongoing saga of the Black Flag reunion and stories about street violence.

This is a the definitive episode of the Fall season! Fred has a history in underground music that is as massive in scope as it is varied in station. Having been published in Vice, worked the Toyota/Scion Rock Fest, presented the absolutely incredible NOLA documentary for NOISEY... phew, lets backpedal. You see, Fred started out booking shows in NYC, bringing his favorite bands to town. he parlayed that into a career in journalism that led him to becoming Senior Editor of Brooklyn Vegan for 6 years.   He'd had a brief stint as Editor In Chief (as well as DJ/Host) for Invisible Oranges. On to Noisey, where he'd also served as Editor in Chief for almost 3 years. On and on to Editor At Large/Director of Marketing at Revolver. He had then struck out on his own, as the Owner and Operator of Jackpot Plus Artist Services... Deep breath... The long lost, terribly missed, and deeply regarded CREEM Magazine came calling, and Boy Howdy, who would say no?! Intro music "Martyrs" by Heart Out. Theme music by Gown. find Creem on IG @creemmag
