Podcasts about Nihil

This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, prepare your ears for a double dose of metal mastery and monstrous mayhem! We're thrilled to host two titans of the scene: Adam Biggs, the visionary bassist and lyricist from the critically acclaimed progressive death metal band Rivers Of Nihil, and Grodius Maximus, the outrageous guitarist from the one and only extraterrestrial overlords, GWAR. This isn't just any podcast episode; it's a deep dive into the creative forces behind some of the most compelling heavy music being released today, setting a new standard for the Loaded Radio Podcast. We delve into the intricate artistry and recent triumphs of Rivers Of Nihil, whose latest album is setting the metal world ablaze. Then, brace yourself as we explore the four-decade legacy of GWAR, their new multimedia onslaught, and the hilariously horrifying details behind their latest single. This episode is packed with exclusive insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and the kind of unfiltered discussion you only get on the Loaded Radio Podcast. Rivers Of Nihil: A Crushing Debut and Chart Domination The metal community is still reeling from the sheer power and intricate beauty of Rivers Of Nihil's fifth studio album, ***Rivers of Nihil***, which made a thunderous debut following its May 30th release via Metal Blade Records. This isn't just another album; it's a statement, a testament to the band's relentless evolution and commitment to pushing the boundaries of progressive death metal. Chart-Topping Performance The numbers speak for themselves. In its first week, Rivers of Nihil pulled in over 2.8 million Spotify streams globally, a staggering achievement that underscores their burgeoning influence. But it's not just digital dominance; the album made significant waves across the charts, proving its widespread impact. In the USA, it commanded impressive positions: #2 Current Hard Music Albums #7 Current Rock Albums #7 Independent Label Albums #9 Current Digital Albums #23 Current Album Sales Across the border in Canada, Rivers Of Nihil continued their chart assault: #1 Hard Music Albums #7 Current Digital Albums #8 Top Current Albums #23 LP Vinyl Sales Critical Acclaim and Fan Frenzy These chart positions aren't just statistics; they're a reflection of the album's profound resonance with both critics and fans. Rivers Of Nihil has once again crafted a masterpiece that blends technical precision with atmospheric depth, delivering a sonic experience that is both brutal and beautiful. Adam Biggs shares the journey behind this monumental release, discussing the creative process, the challenges, and the immense satisfaction of seeing their art connect so deeply with a global audience. GWAR: Celebrating 40 Years of Intergalactic Mayhem From the nuanced brutality of progressive death metal, we pivot to the glorious, grotesque, and utterly inimitable world of GWAR! These rock legends continue their 40th-anniversary celebration with the release of their new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” the second track unveiled from their upcoming multimedia release, ***The Return of Gor Gor***, out July 25th via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. The Legacy Continues For four decades, GWAR has been terrorizing stages, captivating audiences, and challenging societal norms with their unique blend of shock rock, satire, and theatrical spectacle. Their longevity is a testament to their unwavering commitment to their bizarre vision and their ability to consistently deliver unforgettable performances and undeniably catchy, heavy tracks. Grodius Maximus delves into the enduring legacy of GWAR, their creative process that seems to defy all earthly logic, and what it takes to maintain intergalactic supremacy for forty years. A Glimpse into The Return of Gor Gor The new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” arrives with an animated adventure that perfectly captures the mayhem and madness only GWAR can deliver. Imagine a catastrophic circus train derailment involving flaming elephants, twisted clowns, and one extremely unlucky cotton candy vendor—it's all there, brought to life with GWAR's signature over-the-top style. Grodius Maximus gives us the unfiltered, hilariously disturbing details on how this track came to be, offering a glimpse into the chaotic genius that fuels their forthcoming multimedia epic, ***The Return of Gor Gor***. This is an essential listen for any fan of the Loaded Radio Podcast looking for something truly unique. Don't miss this incredible episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast!

1 Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia, et ut languores curarent. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.Et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos. 3 And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.Et ait ad illos : Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis. 4 And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.Et quicumque non receperint vos : exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos. 6 And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.

A novena edición do Festival Jazz de Ría presentouse hoxe oficialmente, anunciando unha programación que se desenvolverá entre o 15 e o 19 de agosto, e que volverá converter a costa ártabra nun espazo de referencia para os amantes da música en directo, a experimentación sonora e o patrimonio natural. O cartel deste 2025 reúne unha coidada selección de propostas musicais que transitan entre o jazz e outros xéneros desde a liberdade creativa. Actuarán artistas como a trompetista catalá Alba Armengou, o quinteto liderado por Diego Alonso co proxecto “Nihil”, e o grupo Sumrrá, que celebra 25 anos de traxectoria cun concerto moi especial cheo de colaboracións. A eles súmanse as melodías inclasificables de Trilitrate, a forza coral do Coro da Ra, o innovador proxecto con raíces de Xan Campos e Faia Díaz, e os sons cálidos de Copos de Avea. Unha programación diversa que pon o foco nas interseccións entre o jazz e outras linguaxes musicais. O festival, que destaca pola súa aposta polo patrimonio paisaxístico, tamén inclúe obradoiros, aulas de baile swing e un roteiro especial polos Balcóns do Atlántico guiado por Xurxo Souto, un dos momentos máis agardados polas persoas asistentes. Organizado con vocación de encontro cultural, o Jazz de Ría reafírmase como unha das citas imprescindibles do verán musical galego.

Show Notes:Life Updates & Pencil Parties- Eden recounts a surreal Minneapolis trip to witness the "sharpening" of a 20-foot neighborhood pencil statue.- Attendees included 1,500+ people, costumes, DJs, and a fake giant pencil sharpener hoisted into place.- Cassi already has cosplay plans for next year.Dollhouses, Gundams & DIY Projects- Eden builds a full miniature room box to pose model kits like Gundams in.- Explores the satisfying craft process of assembling furniture, windows, and baseboards in a modular design.Music Corner- New Katatonia album: promising with fresh energy, but Peter reserves judgment.- Rivers of Nihil: cool influence from Black Crown Initiate, but repeated saxophone use is a dealbreaker for Peter.- Vildhjarta: heavy, adventurous, and rewards deep listening.Gaming Talk- Peter's impressions of the Switch 2: improved Mario Kart experience with 24-player chaos, but still not a travel must-have.- Thoughts on the cult of Nintendo vs. more versatile handheld platforms like the Steam Deck.- Eden's attempt to play Synduality: Echo of Ada ends in a refund due to game-breaking texture issues.Cult & Camp Cinema- Eden attends a VHS screening of the awful-but-fun 1970s exploitation film White Fire with a themed drinking game.- Peter is tempted by the trailer but is firmly advised: "Don't watch White Fire."Reading Recommendations- Eden finishes all 11 published volumes of Adachi and Shimomura, including volume 99.9 (sci-fi time-jump bonus stories).- Enthusiastic recommendation of The Apothecary Diaries, a mystery series set in a fictionalized ancient China full of intrigue and clever deduction.What We're Watching- Peter enjoys Taskmaster Season 19 with Jason Mantzoukas, calling it chaotic, hilarious, and worth the YouTube binge.Main Topic: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)- Eden loved it: tense, stylish, electric; Peter found it frustratingly flat in tension and offensively dated.- Discussion touches on 70s NYC despair, racism and misogyny in period pieces, Walter Matthau's charisma, and how modern remakes miss the gritty charm of the original.- Fun fact: Robert Shaw (Mr. Blue) also played Quint in Jaws.- Finale: Walter Matthau's "Gesundheit" stare is iconic.

 23 And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.Cum autem persequentur vos in civitate ista, fugite in aliam. Amen dico vobis, non consummabitis civitates Israel, donec veniat Filius hominis. 24 The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.Non est discipulus super magistrum, nec servus super dominum suum : 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?sufficit discipulo ut sit sicut magister ejus, et servo, sicut dominus ejus. Si patremfamilias Beelzebub vocaverunt, quanto magis domesticos ejus? 26 Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.Ne ergo timueritis eos. Nihil enim est opertum, quod non revelabitur : et occultum, quod non scietur. 27 That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.Quod dico vobis in tenebris, dicite in lumine : et quod in aure auditis, praedicate super tecta. 28 And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.Et nolite timere eos qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere : sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam et corpus perdere in gehennam.Bishop of Alexandria, St Athanasius opposed Arius with admirable zeal. He has left us several works in defense of the divinity of Christ. He suffered frequent persecution. He died A.D. 373.

New salon owner Kaili Nihil opened her salon Forest Moon Collective just two years ago, and decided to follow some popular advice at the time. To her surprise, her salon wasn't growing like she thought. Kaili took matters into her own hands and completely transformed her business, resulting in more profit, more team members, and a better experience for clients. As entrepreneurs, pivoting will save your business- just like it did for Kaili.

Americāna captīva redūcta Xenīa Carelīna, cīvis et Americāna et Russica, domum redūcta est post annum in vinculīs Russicīs actum. Damnāta enim erat laesae māiestātis ut duodecim annōs continerētur, cum ad quinquāginta dollārēs dedisset hominibus quī auxilium Ūcrāīnēnsibus ferrent. Prō Carelīnā Russīs trāditus est Arctūrus Petrov, cīvis Russicus et Theodiscus, quī clandestīnum commercium rērum ēlectronicārum Russīs prohibitārum gerēbat. Lēgātī enim Russī et Americānī cōnantur inimīcitiās inter suās gentēs sēnsim extinguere et normās restituere lēgātiōnis obeundae. Portōria imposita Nōn sine magnā cōnfūsiōne metūque mercātōrum, praeses Americānus portōria in mercem omnium gentium imposuit. Prīmum enim maxima portōria ēdīxit in mercem Asiāticārum gentium, minima vērō in mercem novī orbis terrārum, cūius effectus vidēbātur fore ut commercium inter gentēs novī orbis fovērētur. Deinde lēgātī multārum gentium dīxērunt sē velle negōtia agere, quō aequius commercium cum Americānīs agerent: nam Formōsēnsēs offerēbant portōria omnīnō abrogāre, nē esset ullum impedimentum inter sē et Americānōs, et Ursula von der Leyen, praeses Eurōpaeī Conciliī, dīxit sē posse quædam portōria abrogāre. Nūperrimē igitur plēraque portōria ad decimam partem reducta sunt, nisi quod portōria in Sīnēnsium mercem identidem aucta sunt. Canada autem Mexicumque, quippe quae gentes foedere commerciī cum Americā coniunctae sint, novōrum quidem immūnēs sunt portōriōrum. At von der Leyen etiam cum Sinēnsibus agit nē flūmen mercis Sēricae ab Americā in Eurōpam dīrigātur: nam ut Americānī ēgērunt, sīc etiam Ūniō Eurōpaea cogitat nova portōria in mercem impōnere Sinēnisum, ut quī artificibus suīs pūblicō impēnsō subvenīre soleant.  Etiam metuunt Eurōpaeī nē Americānī portōria in medicāmenta impōnant, id quod prōmīsit praeses Americānus sē mox actūrum. Vīnsōn ad Iemen et Persiam nāvigat Magistrātūs Americānī iussērunt prīmum, ut nāvis āeroplānigera Truman appellāta in marī Rubrō prope Iemen mānēret; diende, ut altera Vīnsōn dicta, quae in marī Pacificō erat, ad Iemen nāvigāret. Ambigitur autem, utrum Iemenītīs an Persīs, quippe quī Iemenītīs arma suppeditent, nāvēs magis minentur. Tertia porro pars āeroplānōrum clanculāriōrum, quae quamvis magna onera pyrobolōrum ferentia in fīnēs hostium clam volāre possunt, ad Didacum Garsēam īnsulam trānslāta est, unde aut in Iemen aut in Persiam impetūs facere possunt. Persārum lēgātī et Americānī mox in Ōman vel inter sē vel per Ōmānēnsēs dē armīs atomicīs colloquentur, quae Americānī metuunt nē Persae parent. Mīlitēs ad Panamam mittendī Petrus Hegseth, secretārius mīlitāris, in Panamam missus, negōtium cum magistrātibus Panamēnsium ēgit quō plūrēs mīlitēs Americānī eō mitterentur quī mīlitēs Panamēnsium exercērent et Castra Sherman appellāta diū dērelicta renovārent. Christīna Ferdinanda dē Kirchner interdīcta Magistrātūs Americānī interdīxērunt nē Christīna Ferdinanda dē Kirchner, ōlim praeses Argentīnōrum, in fīnēs Americānōrum intrāret, ut quae corrupta dōnīs vidērētur. Quae in Argentīnā iam damnāta est corruptiōnis. Nihilōminus Ferdinanda dē Kirchner dux manet Perōnistārum factiōnis. Comitia in Canadā habenda Marcus Carney, quī in locum Iustīnī Trudeau succēssit et mūnere prīmī ministrī ad tempus fungitur, comitia indīxit mēnse Aprīlī exeunte habenda. Nam Carney, ut quī nullō populārī suffrāgiō ēlectus sit, spērat sē magis lēgitimum vīsum īrī, sī favōre populī sē fruī dēmonstrāverit. Iustīnus Trudeau, cum minister prīmārius esset, partēs sinistrās, cuī Carney quoque pertinet, adeō pessum dedit, ut mēnse Iānuāriō nēmo crēdiderit aliter fierī posse quam ut Petrus Poilievre, dux factiōnis dextrae, minister mox fīeret prīmārius. Nunc vērō, cum spēs metusque populī ad commercium portōriaque spectet, subitāneā rērum fortūnaeque commūtātiōne fit, ut Līberālēs, in quā factiōne Carney numerātur iterum pollēre videantur.

Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi and her fellow Jedi confront a Drengir mystery and defend themselves against the Nihil in the latest entry in the The High Republic: Edge of Balance manga series.

This week, I conclude my three-part series celebrating the best albums of 2024 and reveal my favourite release of 2024. As is now our standing tradition, I am joined by Mike Hill. Mike is a fellow Horseman of the Podcasting Apocalypse, a member of Tombs, Scorpio Throne and Begotten Sun and the host of the Everything Went Black and Necromaniacs podcasts. PLUS, in my weekly news rant: Rivers of Nihil turn in another slab of hot garbage, while posers across the globe bleat: “AOTY 2025!” in unison. Soulcrusher Festival's recent cancellation of Akhlys highlights the need for bands to protect themselves contractually from the predations of our self-appointed moral superiors. And I share my first impressions of new tracks by Benediction, Grab, Cryptosis and others.   Please support the bands featured on this episode: PRIMORDIAL: https://primordialofficial.bandcamp.com/  AKHLYS: https://akhlys.bandcamp.com/  SATHANAS: https://sathanas.bandcamp.com/

The final pieces are falling into place. The Republic continues its fight for stability, the Nihil cling to the chaos that fuels them, and in the space between, something is building—something unseen, something unstoppable. Storms do not beg for recognition. They do not wait for permission. They simply arrive. And when this one does, no one will be ready for what comes next.Cast:Donna Maxwell as Lourna DeeDarin Colt as Councilor Wittick Talia Wright as Ola HestMike Lockley as BalaLisa Moon as TasiaMaria Jackson as Councilor FryDavid Silverstein as Pan EytaNira Smith as Sestin Zane Washington as RaleighJaxon Cole as Andrik KellerKorin Dane as KassavEric Vassar as H7-09Ariana Storm as Avar Kriss Pam Nyx as Keeve Trennis Jason Odiega as Marchion Ro Matt Flinn as SskeerMira Lune as Nib Assek Samantha Porter as MuglanErika Ozborn As QuinJeremy Hayworth as Asgar RoDean Baker as Yudiah DeeLukus Mathews as ParrKyle as bartender droid:Scrip Preparation by Matti TurnerSound design by Theodor ThomsonWe hope you enjoy today's show.

Outside the prison walls, the Nihil are weakened, but not broken. A leader is lost, or so it seems. But the line between defeat and resurgence is thin, and those who understand the game know that survival isn't just about escaping—it's about knowing when to rise again. In a galaxy still struggling to secure its future, one mistake, one overlooked threat, could change everything.Cast:Donna Maxwell as Lourna DeeDarin Colt as Councilor Wittick Talia Wright as Ola HestMike Lockley as BalaLisa Moon as TasiaMaria Jackson as Councilor FryDavid Silverstein as Pan EytaNira Smith as Sestin Zane Washington as RaleighJaxon Cole as Andrik KellerKorin Dane as KassavEric Vassar as H7-09Ariana Storm as Avar Kriss Pam Nyx as Keeve Trennis Jason Odiega as Marchion Ro Matt Flinn as SskeerMira Lune as Nib Assek Samantha Porter as MuglanErika Ozborn As QuinJeremy Hayworth as Asgar RoDean Baker as Yudiah DeeLukus Mathews as ParrScrip Preparation by Matti TurnerSound design by Theodor ThomsonWe hope you enjoy today's show.

This week, I conclude my three-part series celebrating the best albums of 2024 and reveal my favourite release of 2024.  As is now our standing tradition, I am joined by Mike Hill.  Mike is a fellow Horseman of the Podcasting Apocalypse, a member of Tombs, Scorpio Throne and Begotten Sun and the host of the Everything Went Black and Necromaniacs podcasts.  PLUS, in my weekly news rant:  Rivers of Nihil turn in another slab of hot garbage, while posers across the globe bleat:  “AOTY 2025!” in unison. Soulcrusher Festival's recent cancellation of Akhlys highlights the need for bands to protect themselves contractually from the predations of our self-appointed moral superiors.  And I share my first impressions of new tracks by Benediction, Grab, Cryptosis and others.▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS EPISODEPrimordialhttps://primordialofficial.bandcamp.com/ Akhlyshttps://akhlys.bandcamp.com/ Sathanashttps://sathanas.bandcamp.com/ ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST https://youtube.com/c/IntoTheNecrosphere ▶️STREAM & DOWNLOADAmazon Musichttps://amzn.to/3epNJ4KSpotifyhttps://spoti.fi/3iKqbIPApple Podcastshttps://apple.co/38wDYhi ▶️SOCIAL MEDIAFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/intothenecrosphere  Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/intothenecrosphere    Twitterhttps://twitter.com/inecrosphere  ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCHhttps://into-the-necrosphere.creator-spring.com▶️THE HORSEMEN OF THE PODCASTING APOCALYPSE Horrorwolf666https://thehorrorwolf666podcast.buzzsprout.com/ Everything Went Blackhttps://everythingwentblack.podbean.com/ Necromaniacshttps://necromaniacs.podbean.com/ Sol Noxhttps://www.solnoxpodcast.podbean.com/ Iblis Manifestationshttps://linktr.ee/iblismanifestationspodcast

Joshua Hagler (b. 1979, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho) is a first-generation graduate with a graphic design degree from The University of Arizona. A 2018 grant recipient of the Roswell Artist in Residence Program, Hagler has since made New Mexico his permanent home. Currently, he lives with his wife and daughter in the high desert village of Placitas at the foot of the Sandia Mountains. In recent years, his practice has been guided by an approach he calls Nihil, a set of nine self-imposed principles that have grown out of solitary excursions throughout the state. These principles determine all aspects of the work from its imagery and process to the media and objects comprising it. Concept and meaning, as such, naturally unfold out of synchronistic experiences occurring over time. Topics Discussed In This Episode:  Romanticizing solitude and isolation (00:05:53) Joshua describes his meditative practice (00:09:06) Yoshino reflects on how names and labels impact our perception of reality (00:14:15) Joshua discusses his project “Nihil” (00:17:24) How Joshua's personal grief has shaped his work (00:23:28) Joshua and Yoshino share personal anecdotes and experiences with encountering spiritual signs (00:29:41) Yoshino discusses the challenge of describing spiritual experiences. Joshua adds that people often exist in a projected reality, shaped by narratives and labels, which sometimes diverge from actual reality (00:46:21) Exploring ideas around purpose (00:51:23) The danger of equating success with self-worth (00:58:39) Joshua shares his experiences about how his project “Nihil” began and ended (01:17:45) Yoshino uses the metaphor of the “Easter egg” in video games to explain an artist's desire for others to understand the depth of their work (01:25:41) The benefits of living in simplicity and not being attached to outcomes (01:30:47) Joshua shares a recent interaction with a younger artist, offering advice on handling the pressures of age and expected timelines (01:37:59) artistdecoded.com joshuahagler.com instagram.com/aemenededeen
