The gloom and doom of fall are here in full swing! Or at least they ought to be, with the wonderfully goth death/doom sounds of the new album from Paradise Lost, Acension!
For the British writer and cultural critic Olivia Laing, restoring and tending to their backyard garden has prompted complex questions of power, community, and mystery, concepts that they beautifully excavate in their latest book, the fascinating and mind-expanding The Garden Against Time: In Search of a Common Paradise. Whether in their nonfiction works, including the critically acclaimed The Lonely City (2016), their art and culture writing and criticism (2020's Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency), or their novels (2018's Crudo and the forthcoming The Silver Book, out this November), Laing turns an incisive eye to examining what it will take for people—our “temporal selves,” as they put it—to forgo loneliness and isolation, reconnect with nature and one another, and flourish on a planet in crisis.On this episode, recorded in their apartment at the Barbican in London, Laing explores gardening and writing's symbiotic relationship; the act of rebelling against a reactive culture by embracing slowness; and the importance of imagining, in vivid detail, the kinds of utopias we could one day very well live in.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Olivia Laing[4:35] The Barbican[7:39] “The Garden Against Time” (2024)[7:53] Mark Rumary[9:08] Notcutts[14:08] “The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone” (2016)[16:07] Jhumpa Lahiri[18:41] Piet Oudolf[19:21] Middleton Place[19:21] The Sackler family[22:54] “Modern Nature” (1991)[24:07] “Paradise Lost” (1667)[25:40] “The Secret Garden” (1911)[25:40] “Tom's Midnight Garden” (1958)[29:29] “The Garden” (1681)[30:29] “Everybody: A Book About Freedom” (2021) [35:07] “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” (2014)[39:57] David Wojnarowicz's "Magic Box"[39:57] Ana Mendieta[40:51] Agnes Martin[43:08] “Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency” (2020) [45:29] “Crudo” (2018) [48:20] “A Dance to the Music of Time” (1951–1975) [50:29] “The Silver Book” (2025)[52:48] Federico Fellini[52:48] Pier Paolo Pasolini[55:17] “News from Nowhere” (1890)

Présentée par Jeff. [Partie IGORRR à 00:44:36 - Partie PARADISE LOST à 01:21:40] Première tablée pour la nouvelle émission Repas de Corbeaux, qui inaugure ce numéro avec un titre chargé de symbolisme, « Amen » ! Au menu : • La Chaire Sémantique : une playlist musicale centrée sur le mot « Amen ». Dans le metal extrême, de nombreux artistes ont utilisé ce terme pour détourner les symboles et les dogmes, tandis que d'autres l'ont employé dans une vision plus critique ou nihiliste. • À la Table Noire… : l'équipe de Radio Metal a pu échanger avec deux groupes, qui évoquent notamment leur rapport à la religion et comment celle-ci prend sens dans le concept de leur nouveau disque. JB le Bail et Marthe Alexandre d'IGORRR ainsi que Gregor Mackintosh de PARADISE LOST, seront à notre table. • Dans notre Cercle d'Écoute : nous nous intéresserons également à des groupes qui explorent de nouvelles spiritualités et divinités, réelles ou symboliques, comme REVOCATION, avec un disque à la fois sombre et satirique. -------- Interviews : Marion Dupont et Nicolas Gricourt Habillage sonore : Tmdjn Visuel : Camille Murgue

What happens when you mix Keanu Reeves, a scenery-chewing Al Pacino, and a Faustian bargain?Andrew Neiderman's novel was originally going to be adapted in the early 90s, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Brad Pitt, but casting Satan proved difficult and so the project was halted.Speak of the devil, the O.J. Simpson trial gave new life to this story, and everyone became interested in courtroom drama and corrupt lawyers. The movie was resurrected, with Keanu Reeves choosing it over Speed 2, and the production desperate to entice Al Pacino to play the devil. Maybe they made a deal with the devil? In a bizarre twist worthy of the film itself, a copyright violation lawsuit forced the studio to digitally amend key scenes, proving that even fictional devils face real-world consequences.Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, and the Faust legend woven into late 90s Manhattan, The Devil's Advocate remains a fascinating time capsule of '90s excess while asking timeless questions about the price of success and the susceptibility of human ambition and greed. Have a listen to The Midnight Myth's excellent episode on The Devil's Advocate hereI would love to hear your thoughts on The Devil's Advocate (1997) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

We sat down with Paradise Lost singer Nick Holmes to talk all about their brand-new album, Ascension and what it means to still be pushing boundaries after 17 albums.*Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7*https://links.primordialradio.com/listenFrom the origins of the band's name, inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, to Nick's fascination with religion (despite being an atheist), we dig into the stories and ideas that keep driving one of the UK's most influential heavy bands.There's also plenty of laughs and dark humour, including memories of touring South America with Ozzy Osbourne, the lasting impact of Draconian Times, and what it really takes to keep creating after nearly four decades. Nick also opens up about the meaning behind "Serpent on the Cross", "Lay a Wreath Upon the World" and "Life Unknown", and why the music still matters more than ever.ONLINE Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

X2M.159 – Quaquaversal | Starfield Astrocyte Quaquaversal (Latin quaqua “whichever way” + versus “turned”) signifies spreading in all directions, unlike a line locked into one axis.¹ In geology it describes strata dipping outward from a central point; in PH12 it names consciousness opening in every direction at once. • Philosophical resonance: Paradise Lost narrowed perception into single channels of shame and toil. Quaquaversal reopens perception as manifold, unconfined by decay. • Cosmic image: The Starchild's mind is refracted like starlight, not bound to one trajectory but diffusing across dimensions. • Theological anchor: Ezekiel's vision of the wheels “full of eyes all around” (Ezek. 1:18) parallels the quaquaversal spread — perception that sees every direction at once.² • Neurobiological analogy: Just as neurogenesis remaps hippocampal circuits (see X2M.164), so quaquaversal spreading allows new outputs from old inputs, perception re-coded for multidirectionality.³ In PH12's runtime, Quaquaversal inaugurates the Starfield Astrocyte: consciousness no longer a tunnel but a radiating starfield. It is the first spark of transfiguration — spreading outward, carrying glory into every vector. ⸻ Footnotes ¹ Oxford English Dictionary, “Quaquaversal,” s.v. ² Ezekiel 1:18. ³ Sailor et al., “Synaptic Remodeling in Dentate Granule Cells,” Neuron (2017). ⸻ Glorification | The Final Frontier Going Boldly Where The Last Man has Gone Before!

Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, England, back in 1988, and from the start they carved out a reputation as pioneers of the death-doom sound. Their second record, Gothic, released in 1991, reshaped heavy music by weaving melody, keyboards, and gothic atmosphere into the slower, heavier framework of doom metal. That album set the stage for an entire subgenre, and over the next three decades Paradise Lost would keep evolving—sometimes experimenting with electronic elements, sometimes returning to pure heaviness, but always circling around the same dark, melancholy gravity. Their mid-nineties high point, albums like Draconian Times, showed how their knack for blending soaring melody with bleak subject matter could reach both critics and a wider audience. Through lineup changes and shifts in the metal scene, the core of Nick Holmes, Gregor Mackintosh, Aaron Aedy, and Steve Edmondson has stayed intact, giving the band remarkable stability over nearly forty years. With more than two million albums sold worldwide, their influence runs deep across doom, gothic, and extreme metal.That long history sets the stage for Ascension, the band's seventeenth studio album, released September 19th, 2025, on Nuclear Blast Records. It's their first collection of new material since Obsidian in 2020, making this the longest wait between original albums in their career. The release also marks a turning point, as it is the final record with drummer Guido Montanarini, who departed earlier in the year. Produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh and mixed and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory, the album was recorded at Black Planet Studios in Yorkshire and in Swedish studios for drums and vocals. The cover art is The Court of Death by George Frederic Watts, a Victorian painting steeped in allegory, perfectly in line with the album's themes of mortality and despair.Ascension offers ten tracks, beginning with “Serpent on the Cross” and including “Tyrants Serenade,” “Lay a Wreath Upon the World,” and the lead single “Silence Like the Grave.” It balances crushing riffs and dense atmospheres with gothic grandeur, delivering what Paradise Lost have always done best. Critics across the board have praised the record. Tuonela Magazine called it one of the strongest in their catalogue, while Angry Metal Guy highlighted the consistency and lack of weak songs, even if “Sirens” didn't land as powerfully as the rest. GhostCult singled out Nick Holmes' performance and the sheer force of the rhythm section. Most agree the band hasn't reinvented themselves here, but instead delivered a refined, cohesive statement of what Paradise Lost represent in 2025.The significance of Ascension is that it feels less like a radical new chapter and more like a powerful reaffirmation. After almost four decades, Paradise Lost remain vital. They don't need to chase trends or reinvent themselves; they simply have to continue walking the path they created in the first place. With Ascension, they prove they're still doing it with conviction, consistency, and the same bleak sense of grandeur that has kept their music resonant for so long.Videoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M1yG0qmT0QAt The Gates - Blinded by FearCooperhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpxFUo7oxWMPowerwolf - We Drink Your BloodMikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvuCvGUpFpARoyal Republic - Stayin' Alive (Official Video)Jesse Starcherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lFxyH4YE0Fra Diavlo - Every Irish Song EverMarkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_kMRiyt5wPARADISE LOST - Tyrants SerenadeDisclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

We begin an overview in four podcasts of Blake's two final and definitive poems, Milton and Jerusalem. Milton is in two books. In the first, Milton returns to the fallen world to achieve the clarified vision that eluded him in Paradise Lost. He wrestles with Urizen, who tries to oppose him, and enters Blake's left foot to inspire him.
With Symphony X embarking on their first proper U.S. tour in a decade, we decided to dive into one of the band's most beloved and iconic releases – 2007's Paradise Lost!

Join hosts Katy Reed Hodges and Luke Stehr for another engaging episode of Tell Me More as they welcome special guest Curt Grice for a lively discussion about the latest happenings at First Baptist Arlington.In this fun and informative episode, the trio dives deep into Dr. Wiles' recent sermon "What Happened?" from Genesis 3, exploring the foundational biblical account of humanity's broken relationship with God.

They explore what this means for our personal relationships and spiritual growth as a church community.Whether you missed Sunday's sermon or want to delve deeper into its meaning, this episode offers valuable perspective on how understanding our broken past can lead to flourishing relationships with God and each other.Subscribe now and join the conversation at First Baptist Arlington!
Send us a text"Darkness visible — a phrase that captures the paradox of John Milton's life: eventual blindness in body, yet vision without bounds in the mind.”"Imagine a world gone dark — yet in that darkness, a man named John Milton could see more clearly than anyone else."John Milton grew up with privilege, expectation, and a mind hungry for knowledge. His father, a scrivener, provided tutors, music lessons, and an education that would prepare him for greatness. From an early age, Milton believed he was destined for immortality.Yet life would test him. He faced political upheaval, personal loss, and eventually, blindness. By the early 1650s, at just forty-three, Milton could no longer see.Blindness for Milton was more than a physical loss; it demanded dependence on others and challenged his sense of independence. And yet, in that darkness, he created some of the greatest works in English literature.From the epic grandeur of Paradise Lost to the quiet triumph of Paradise Regained, Milton's inner vision never dimmed. And in this episode, we'll also explore how his phrase “darkness visible” has echoed across centuries, influencing writers and poets long after his time.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
Matt Trump delivers a powerful and deeply personal episode exploring the spiritual darkness unleashed in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Drawing from Milton's Paradise Lost, Catholic tradition, and his own journey of faith, Matt frames current events as part of a larger battle between good and evil, where demonic forces sow ugliness, deception, and despair. He reflects on the demonic joy expressed by some over Kirk's death, calling it the most spiritually jarring moment since 9/11, and shares testimony about prayer, the rosary, and the role of Mary as “terror of demons” in this fight. With historical references, personal stories, and reflections on faith, Matt urges listeners to resist despair, reject the whispers of vengeance, and cling to God's will. This is not just commentary but a call to spiritual arms—reminding his audience that truth, beauty, and goodness will ultimately prevail.
Clare and Hannah continue their journey through Deep Heaven with C.S. Lewis, to a pure and unfallen planet where everyone is naked without shame. Seriously. The only clothed person in this entire book is literally the Devil.The planet is Perelandra—what we call Venus—a newly created Paradise, complete with a “human” King and Queen to be its stewards. But the Ancient Enemy, Satan, inflamed with Envy and bent on destruction, high-tails it there on a mission of corruption and evil. This time, Elwin Ransom (our hero from Out of the Silent Planet) is there to confront him, and stop him if he can…For complete show notes, head to the episode page on Splanchnics.com.If you'd like to pick up your own copies of Perelandra, Paradise Lost, and any other books we mentioned, do check out Clare's Bookshop.org page.

The Devil Within: Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was thrust into the national spotlight. A teenage boy, Tommy Sullivan, murdered his mother before taking his own life in a crime so shocking it became a lightning rod for the Satanic Panic. Suddenly, everything—from heavy metal music to role-playing games to Catholic school curriculums—was scrutinized as potential gateways to darkness. This episode, Paradise Lost, explores how Tommy's seemingly ordinary suburban life unraveled in just a matter of weeks: his exposure to occult literature, his fascination with extreme music, whispers of rituals in the woods, and a town hall meeting where parents confronted the chilling possibility that their own traditions might have paved the way for horror. Now, four years after this story first aired on The Devil Within, I'm bringing it back as part of our REDUX season—with brand new commentary. Together, we'll re-examine what we thought we knew about the Sullivan case, how the story has evolved since we first told it, and how the MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In aligns with and expands on each episode of Season One. And while I can't reveal everything just yet, know this: there are stunning new developments, and we'll be unpacking them in our upcoming bonus episode.

The film has officially crossed $614 million worldwide, with $353M domestic (57.5%) and $260M international (42.5%). James Gunn has called the movie's success the “biggest relief of his life” because if it hadn't worked, the future of the entire DCU slate—from Supergirl to Lanterns—would have been in jeopardy.Superman Box Office UpdateDomestic box office: $353,302,360International box office: $260,800,000Worldwide total: $614,102,360This breakdown shows how crucial U.S. audiences remain for superhero films, even as international numbers grow.Variety and Deadline Report on Superman Profit MarginSuperman has an 8-week profit margin of about $125 million.It is the seventh-highest grossing film of the year.By comparison Man of Steel's profit margin was $42.7 million.We explain why domestic is still more profitable to studios than international.Gunn Relieved by Superman SuccessJames Gunn admitted that Superman's success was critical for DC Studios:“If Superman didn't work, I'm the head of DC Studios!

We have Supergirl, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Clayface—they're all connected to this!”PeacemakerSuperman's Visit to the Peacemaker SetA behind-the-scenes photo dated July 23, 2024 sparked speculation. David Corenswet appeared on the Peacemaker set in full Superman costume while James Gunn was splitting directing duties between Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Fans believe this signals a direct connection between the two projects, with Superman potentially playing a meaningful role in Peacemaker Season 2. We disagree somewhat.How Would Fleury See Hawkgirl?Fans asked James Gunn online what Fleury might think of Hawkgirl. His playful response:“I think he'd wonder what's wrong with her head and wouldn't really know.”Yes the Grammar Fuck Up Was IntentionalJames Gunn confirmed that the infamous “Your the best” typo was intentional, sparking fan discussion.

Gunn clarified:It's not titled Superman 2, just Man of Tomorrow.The film will explore Superman and Lex Luthor's relationship, with Nicholas Hoult's Luthor donning the green-and-purple Warsuit.Speculation: Possible villains may be Bizarro, Brainiac, or Zod.Gunn emphasized his collaborative writing process and ongoing rewrites.People Responding to James GunnThe Man of Tomorrow announcement drew reactions from DC stars and creators:Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl): “See You Soooon”Aaron Pierre (John Stewart): “Yes, Indeed!”
Since the publication of John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost in 1667, readers and critics have noted the relationship between the poem and the author's political and personal struggles. What has been less prominent - at least until now - is how the poem came to haunt various political struggles over the next four centuries. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Orlando Reade about his book What in Me Is Dark, which looks at twelve readers - including Malcolm X, Thomas Jefferson, George Eliot, and Hannah Arendt - to see how Paradise Lost was understood and used by people immersed in their own revolutionary battles against tyranny and oppression. PLUS author Jodi Picoult (By Any Other Name) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. Join Jacke on a trip through literary England (signup open through the end of September)! The History of Literature Podcast Tour is happening in May 2026! Act now to join Jacke and fellow literature fans on an eight-day journey through literary England in partnership with John Shors Travel.

This month head back to Colin & Ian's teenage years and Tracey's not quite as teenage years to discuss the emergence of post rock, jangly indie rock, noisy glitchy electronica, stompy nu-metal & Vic Reeves with a cold.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - A, Aphex Twin, The Beta Band, Bjork, David Bowie, Deftones, Depeche Mode, Tanya Donelly, Mark Eitzel, Faith No More, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Kenickie, Low, Lullaby For The Working Class, Machine Head, Billy Mackenzie, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Mogwai, Nine Inch Nails, Paradise Lost, Pavement, The Prodigy, Radiohead, Rammstein, Samiam, Snot, Strapping Young Lad, Teenage Fanclub, Tindersticks, & Yo La Tengo.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xtkvukpolmGURUNJTQc5n?si=efff4c4045d84620Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Building on our established styles from previous editions, we present a vibrant range of melodic, modular, symphonic, and sequential sounds created by artists who have featured on our airwaves over many years. Just a mention of Enigmatic Obsession, the creative project of Jens Gad, one of the two founders of the legendary formation Enigma. While Michael Cretu is the more widely recognised figure, Jens Gad played a crucial role in shaping Enigma's distinctive sound. We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Dwane on 24th July, following the recent discovery of his cancer diagnosis and limited prognosis. In homage to Mark's remarkable talent with MIDI guitar, we have selected two tracks from the 2019 album 'Martian Apparitions,' which reimagines his 1988 debut release, ‘The Monuments Of Mars.'

For centuries, the lodestone of the West's moral compass pointed to Jesus. Today, it points away from Hitler. That shift from a positive to a negative moral touchstone can be seen in popular culture's panoply of dark lords—Darth Vader, Sauron, Voldemort—each a rather unsubtle echo of Hitler himself.Join Sam Fornecker for a conversation with Alec Ryrie, Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University and author of The Age of Hitler and How We Will Survive It (Reaktion, 2025). According to Ryrie, the story of the war against Hitler has become “not only our Trojan War, but our Paradise Lost." What Ryrie calls anti-Nazi values have set the agenda for the West since the war: but that moral consensus is fast collapsing. The question is, what will follow it? And what is the Church's role in preserving the moral lessons of the twenty-first century, while also—God willing—modeling a way of being in the world that leads to greater human thriving than anti-Nazi values on their own can sustain?Enjoying this podcast?

In a fit of spite, Professor Kozlowski condenses his discussion of landmark British political philosophers Hobbes and Locke - forerunners of the American constitution - into a single joint lecture. We'll compare and contrast the two states of nature proposed by these thinkers, examine their divergent attitudes toward the authority of government, and root their philosophical conclusions in the tumultuous history of the English Civil War.Hooray for English philosophers - no translations necessary for these texts! Here are the Project Gutenberg texts of Hobbes' Leviathan, and Locke's Second Treatise Concerning Government.Additional readings for this lecture include some more 17th-century English classics: Bacon's scientific Utopia, New Atlantis; Milton's epic masterpiece, Paradise Lost; and Swift's satirical classic, Gulliver's Travels. Finally, for my video gamers, I recommend the colonization-based management sim/city builder Anno 1404 (it may not be the most period-appropriate game in the series, but I think it is the best mechanical representation of this era without the industrialization mechanics of Anno 1800).If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Beyond the Gates 2025, held from July 30 to August 2 in Bergen, Norway, was a must-visit for metal fans. This iconic festival, set across historic venues like Grieghallen and USF Verftet, delivered a killer lineup with King Diamond's first Norwegian show in 19 years, Paradise Lost, Misthyrming and more. Featuring 18 bands making their festival debut and epic sets like Gehenna's original lineup and Abbath tearing through Immortal's discography, it was a diverse celebration of black, death, and heavy metal. Fresh from Bergen, here's my review of the thirteenth edition of Norway's legendary festival. Thumbnail credit: The ALMIGHTY Necroshorns (https://www.instagram.com/necroshorns/)
The West Memphis Three were convicted by two juries of killing eight year old Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Chris Byers on May 5th, 1993 in West Memphis Arkansas. After campaign to free them West Memphis Three's request for DNA testing gets green lit by Arkansas court. The West Memphis Three (Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin & Jesse Misskelley) still haven't released the DNA results from 2011 but don't let facts get in the way of a good “feel good” story about convicted child killers. This new ruling exposes the grift of the wrongful conviction movement and how it manipulates the public into thinking that DNA is the only evidence that matters.Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by becoming a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/join Show Notes: WM3 Revelations - https://thewm3revelations.wordpress.com/tag/west-memphis-three-murder-damien-echols-jessie-misske/WM3 Facts- https://westmemphisthreefacts.comARK online (re DNA results 2011) - https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2011/aug/25/video-prosecutor-lab-study-west-memphis-3-case-dna/?print&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwL8sgNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlw9oFfCepvF40dsLs6t1ig45HI0Eo8X3jjV7uHB2duEaV_XE3ubNfNkDfPU_aem_AAxG7KC6oZo6lSztkxT1JQ Thank you Patrons!Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

They unpack the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer, debate James Gunn and Kevin Feige's competing road maps, and rate Donkey Kong Bonanza out of ten bananas.

A younger X‑Men lineup is coming; the hosts pitch Henry Cavill as Mister Sinister. Donkey Kong Bonanza nails open‑world exploration and earns 9/10 bananas from Squeaks. Chris Maher reminds actors “the real job is auditioning” and stresses business savvy in showbiz. Boardwalk Winter releases August 5; Maher's Vindicator distribution news is imminent.
