EWB 396 FROM THE VAULT: Herzog's Bad Lieutenant
Wednesday May 28, 2025
Wednesday May 28, 2025
This week we’re going back a few years, back to the Vault. Randy Larsen and I were doing a sub-series called Road to Ruin where we discussed records and movies that we iconic to us. Apparently, doing Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant was my idea. Abel Ferrara’s grimey, depraved exploration of a NYC detective’s descent into darkness is one of my all-time favorite movies of the 90”s.
But what about Herzog’s version?
Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Tokyo Express” – Die Haute feat. Nick Cave

Trevor Shelley De Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec from Pelican return on the lead up to their new LP Flickering Resonance hitting the streets on May 16 on Run for Cover Records.

EWB 391 THE BLACK LODGE 1
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Welcome the the flagship episode of The Black Lodge, my collaboration with Brandon Legion of Horror Wolf 666. Inspired by the passing of David Lynch, one of the greatest American filmmakers of our generation, we are going to dive deep into the Twin Peaks series. In 1990, there was nothing quite like Twin Peaks, it was groundbreaking and a harbinger of an explosion in thought-provoking television that would happen two decades later. We cover the pilot episode this week, exploring the darkness beneath the plaid small town of Twin Peaks, the fictitious town nestled in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Stay tuned for future monthly episodes on Everything Went Black and Horror Wolf 666.
Intro: “Twin Peaks Theme” – Andrew Badalamenti
Outro: “Falling” –Julee Cruise

Wednesday Apr 09, 2025
Dave Berardi of Razor Eater Metal returns this week. Dave puts in work on a weekly basis bringing you news and reviews of the sickest metal records. Additionally, Dave is the man behind the ambient black metal project XEZBETH. We had a lot of fun talking about how he got into extreme music. The most interesting thing is that, despite Dave being quite a bit younger than me, our extreme music journey isn’t that much different.

EWB 388 KILL OR BE KILLED 2 BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA
Wednesday Mar 26, 2025
Wednesday Mar 26, 2025
Sam Peckinpah embodies the essence of what the Kill or Be Killed project is all about like no other filmmaker. Bleak, nihilistic and brutal, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is a relentless journey through the dark landscapes of Mexico following the grisly journey of a desperate man expertly portrayed by Warren Oates. From top to bottom excellent performances are logged in by Oates, Isela Vega, Robert Weber and Kris Kristofferson.
Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill
Outro: “Adelita” – Jerry Fielding
