Hold onto your breeches because The Anointing The Sick Show #237 is now available to stream or download. Opening with the folky, doomy tones of Distorted Reflection and bleeding out with the Italian jams of Rainbow Bridge inbetween is a cacophony of thrash, death, doom and a lengthy section of stoner sounds. The filth pit has spewed forth a track off the new Holy Death album 'Paradice' while another of the heavy newies 'Buena Muerte' by Ocultum also crushes all in its path on this show.~Embrace The Sickness~Distorted ReflectionEmergency RuleBird                                              NYP BandcampNecrowretchTim's FavouriteExaJagguAstral Wizard                               Doom Charts Aug '23PanderEasy DeathCactus CathedralFoetal JuiceOcultum                                        Doom Charts Feb '25Holy DeathRainbow Bridge

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for February 19th Publish Date:  February 19th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, February 19th and Happy Birthday to I’m Dan Ratcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Plans to Start Burning Sewage Sludge Again Cobb Inmate Accused of Identity Theft Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center Gallery to Host Quilt Exhibit All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ringling Bros STORY 1: Cobb Plans to Start Burning Sewage Sludge Again Cobb County plans to spend $70 million to retrofit and reactivate sludge incinerators at the R.L. Sutton Water Reclamation Facility, addressing rising landfill costs and limited disposal options. The incinerators, decommissioned in 2015 due to stricter EPA standards, will now meet updated guidelines, reducing sludge volume by 90%. Public concerns about emissions remain, but officials emphasize stricter monitoring and compliance. Alternatives like land application face scrutiny over potential health risks, while landfill costs have surged. Construction is set to begin in 2027, with public input sessions planned to address community concerns. STORY 2: Cobb Inmate Accused of Identity Theft Stephanie Leah Cherry, 22, of Austell, is accused of using a victim's Sheriff’s Office ID to access their Inmate Detention Account at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, transferring funds to her own account between Dec. 16-25, 2024. She allegedly used the stolen funds for entertainment purchases. Cherry faces charges of identity theft and computer theft and is being held on an $8,000 bond. STORY 3: Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center Gallery to Host Quilt Exhibit The Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center in Marietta will host the East Cobb Quilters’ Guild’s “Make Your Own Masterpiece” challenge quilts exhibit from Feb. 27 to April 5. Featuring 28 quilts inspired by favorite works of art, the exhibit showcases members’ creativity and technical skills. Each quilt is accompanied by an artist’s statement detailing its inspiration. An opening reception is set for March 1, from 2 to 4 p.m., with gallery hours Monday through Saturday. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    We’ll be right back  Break: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: 'A Better Parent': Cobb Jail Inmates Graduate Parenting 101 Course Nine incarcerated mothers at the Cobb Jail graduated from the Parenting 101 course, part of the Realign Restart Initiative led by Sheriff Craig Owens. The nine-week program equips parents with skills to rebuild family dynamics post-release. This largest graduating class began with 35 participants, focusing on topics like family roles, cultural influences, and parenting strategies. Graduate Faith Williams highlighted how the course helped her maintain relationships with her children while incarcerated. The initiative also offers GED programs, anger management, and more, aiming to reduce recidivism. Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson encouraged graduates to stay present in their children’s lives. STORY 5: Georgia Gas Prices Jump Georgia's average gas price has risen to $3.00 per gallon, with Cobb County slightly higher at $3.09, up 15 cents in two weeks, according to AAA. Seasonal refinery maintenance, a switch to summer fuel blends, and a California refinery outage are contributing to the increase. State prices are 6 cents higher than a month ago but 17 cents lower than last year. The most expensive metro areas include Atlanta ($3.06), while the cheapest are in Dalton ($2.91). AAA advises drivers to save by using fuel programs, paying with cash, and maintaining efficient driving habits. Break: STORY 6: Whataburger Withdraws Application for Atlanta Road Location Whataburger has withdrawn its request for a sixth Cobb County location on Atlanta Road near I-285. The fast food chain planned to combine two properties for the site but paused to reassess traffic impacts and community-requested design changes. Local residents, including those from West Village Smyrna, opposed the proposal, citing concerns over traffic, safety, noise, and property values. They suggested changes like reorienting the building and limiting hours. While residents are pleased with the withdrawal, Whataburger may reapply in the future. The chain currently operates three Cobb locations, with two more approved but not yet built. STORY 7: Cobb Approves Lost Mountain Road Subdivision The Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved a 27-home subdivision on Lost Mountain Road in a 4-0 vote. Traton Homes will develop the 40.5-acre lot, with 18 of the homes on the southern half requiring rezoning. Homes will range from 2,000 to 3,589 square feet, offering more affordable and varied housing options. To address neighbors' concerns, Traton agreed to a 50-foot buffer, a vinyl-coated chain link fence, and stormwater management measures. Commissioner Keli Gambrill praised the compromise, noting it was a better fit than previous proposals for the area.

2025. gada ģeovieta ir Latvijā augstākā kāpa – Pūsēnu kalns. Tā atrodas Nīcas pagastā, un savulaik tā daļēji tika norakta, veidojot karjeru. Ko šādas vietas stāsta par seniem procesiem Latvijas teritorijā? Cik tālu sauszemē iestiepjas kāpas un ko šādas ģeovietas pasaka par cilvēka darbību? Raidījumā Zināmais nezinājamā sarunājas Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis, Daugavpils universitātes asociētais profesors Juris Soms un vides gids, kurš pats arī dzīvo Nīcas pagastā, Andris Maisiņš. Pūsēnu kalns ir viena no kāpām, kas ietilpst Papes-Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kompleksajā kāpu grēdā. Šajā grēdā izšķir divus – Papes-Jūrmalciema un Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kāpu posmus. Šos posmus pa vidu pārrauj aptuveni 1,5 km garš pārpūsto smilšu iecirknis, kas izveidojies pirms vairāk nekā 300 gadiem pēc mežu izciršanas un ugunsgrēka. Abus kāpu posmus raksturo gar jūras krastu paralēli esošu kāpu grēda, kas ir veidojusies pēdējo Baltijas jūras stadiju laikā. Dziļāk sauszemē seko otrs kāpu valnis, kas ir vēja deformēto parabolisko un tām līdzīgo kāpu grēda. Šīs kāpas tiek saistītas ar Litorīnas jūras stadiju, un tās norobežojušas lagūnu joslu līdzenumu no jūras. No kāpas virsotnes karjera nogāzes pusē paveras lielisks skats uz apkārtējo ainavu – pāri pamestajai karjera teritorijai un apmežotai piejūras kāpu joslai redzama jūra. Gada ģeovietas nosaukums tiek piešķirts ar mērķi pievērst sabiedrības uzmanību Latvijas īpašajiem ģeoloģiskajiem veidojumiem un to problēmām, sniegt par tiem informāciju, rosināt vietas tālāku izpēti, atjaunošanu, sakopšanu un labiekārtošanu. Plānots, ka publisks izglītojošs pasākums, kas veltīts Latvijas 2025. gada ģeovietai, notiks pie Gada ģeovietas oktobra sākumā, kad pasaulē atzīmē Ģeodaudzveidības dienu. Bet vispirms vēl vienu šī gada varoni – gada koku. Šis gods ticis gobai.  Iemesls nominācijai ir ne pārāk iepriecinošs, jo gobu skaits Latvijā samazinās šo koku kaites ietekmē – tā sauktās Gobu Holandes slimības dēļ. Vairāk par gada koku un to, kā gobu atšķirt gobu no tās radinieces vīksnas, stāsta Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs. Latvijas Dendrologu biedrība par Gada koku 2025 izvēlējusies parasto gobu, izceļot šī koka nozīmīgumu un pievēršot uzmanību arvien aktuālajai gobu Holandes slimības izplatībai. Gobas mūsdienās ir apdraudētas gan individuālu koku, gan mežaudžu līmenī. Parastā goba ir majestātisks vasarzaļš gobu dzimtas koks, kas savvaļā sastopams visā Latvijas teritorijā – tā teikts biedrības izplatītājā paziņojumā. Taču šobrīd gobu nemaz tik daudz nav, jo Pēc Valsts meža dienesta 2023. gada datiem mežaudzes, kur valdošā koku suga ir goba vai vīksna, ir tikai 0,07% no visiem Latvijas mežiem. Un te vainīga ir jau minētā slimība, kad sadarbojoties sēnei ar tādu vaboli kā gremzdgrauzi, koki nokalst. Pirms aplūkojam sīkāk šo koku bojāejas cēloni, koku eksperts un Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs stāsta, kā var atšķirt abas gobu ģintij piederošās sugas, proti, gobu un vīksnu, kas ir visai līdzīgas pēc izskata. Savukārt raidījuma ievadā savā grāmatplauktā ļauj ielūkoties pētnieks Andris Saulītis. Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Andris Saulītis iepazīstina ar amerikāņu jurisprudences pētnieka Kesa Sanstīna grāmatu par birokrātiju un to, kas tajā ir analītiski maināms. (Cass R. Sunstein. "Sludge. What Stops Us from Getting Things Done and What to Do about It"). Tās latviskais nosaukums varētu būt "Šķēršļi, kas aptur mūs paveikt lietas un ko ar to iesākt". Šis populārzinātniskais darbs apliecina, ka pārmaiņas likumos var panākt, dažādu nozaru pārstāvjiem sadarbojoties. Interesentiem pieejama gan drukātā versija, gan elektroniskā versija. Pētnieks norāda, ka Latvijas bibliotēku kopkatalogā šo izdevumu nav atradis, bet sola dot ziņu Latvijas Nacionālajai bibliotēkai, kuras darbinieki ir atvērti grāmatu ieteikumiem.

Bandcamp Links to all of the bands plus full reviews are here  https://www.anointingthesick.com/It's difficult to shoehorn a whole years music into a two hour 'Best Of' Playlist but you have to draw the line somewhere so here's 16 bands whose new albums caused such a stir that it prompted me to review them. There are a couple of anomalies. Fireblood feature twice due to the band releasing 2 EP's in a year and Atomic Hand is actually a two band project Iglesia Atomica and Out Of Hand. Unusually one band plays psych jams the other brutal deathgrind. Both sides of this live album are great! ~ Embrace The Sickness ~Black Groove"Contains seven tracks of sluggish, de tuned, sludge caked hatred"CannabusThe fuzz is still thick  but edged with barbs, pierced by blazing reverb and wah both shrieking in agony.Fireblood"The no frills, hard hitting, clunky riffs easily loosen the neck muscles, enabling the listener to bang their head with wild abandon to the sludge leaden groove."Sun Moon Holy Cult"Citing influences from bands such as Black Sabbath, WitchFinder General, Acid King and Belzebong"Severed Arm"A purulent discharge of infected blackened sludge doom"Demon & Eleven Children"Riffs are mighty, and the multitude of jams have been dipped in the same vat of acid"Wormthrone"Here lurks a suffocating, toxic album, spewing forth sulphurous riffs from a fermenting tarpit."Bleed This Earth"Straddling the the various emotions of despair between My Dying Bride and Mournful Congregation"Sangria"'Esclavo de la Ira' has a darker, enraged sound to it, reminding me of Triptykon in parts."Atomic Hand ( Iglesia Atomica & Out Of Hand)Iglesia Atomica ~A constant chatter of barbed jams squeal and shriek from the speakers. Out Of Hand ~ "spits deathgrind of the most poisonous kind."Vulgarian"Hateful sludge bloated with the DNA of slow, stagnant doom"Harsh Realm"A coagulate of unemotional death doom encapsulated in a bloody crust."Volume"Joy of Navigation' is the band's latest album and contains five songs of immersive psychedelic stoner."Sea Of Snakes"There is an abundance of riffs, huge and full of depth for the listener to revel in."Pyrogaric"Pyrogaric is back with more Welsh stoner doom Druidry"Monolithic Architecture"a raw and devastating bombardment of drone infused doom"

Download the final Anointing The Sick Show of 2024 and immerse yourselves in some of the finest heavy sounds of the year. Opening with the Barbarian track from the Celtic Frost compilation 'Mesmerized' released early this year and closing with the random pick, a psych, heavy blues track from the Netherlands in the form of Brahm. The filth Pit has been bountiful with contributions from Dripping Decay and Junta.

Today we're crossing a bridge into oblivion with the latest instalment of Anointing The Sick. It's a bumpy ride starting with the showpiece track from A Storm Of Light. After a brutal Death Metal segment, I have a US 80's style metal track before pulling Methedrine and Wasp Mother from the D-Beat / Powerviolence filth pit. From there old school Indian thrash rears its ugly head before a couple of stoner tracks get a look in. After that wallow in heavy psych ambrosia before the prog'ish segment kicks in. The prolific Rogga Johanssen is back with Ribspreader sounding more brutal than ever. Recent discovery Monolithic Architecture provides a sample of raw doom/drone before I finish off the show with a final blast of dirty death metal.~ Embrace The Sickness ~A Storm Of LightThe ScumResin TombMasterThe RodsMethedrineWasp MotherSabotageThe ViceFuzz ForwardU.S ChristmasLord Dying                              #14 Jan 2024 Doom ChartsFinal CoilRibspreaderMonolithic ArchitectSentient Divide
