EWB 220 KEITH HUCKINS (DEADGUY)

True, all EWB episodes re special, but this one is SPECIAL!  Keith Huckins of Deadguy, Kiss it Goodbye, Rorschach joins us to talk about the impending Deadguy reunion at this year’s Decibel Metal and Beer Fest in Philadelphia.  Check it out!

EWB 219 STEPHEN FLAM (GODEN / WINTER)

Back when I hosted Metal Matters, I featured a series of episodes on Goden on their masterpiece, 2019’s Beyond Darkness.  It was one of my top 5 records that year.  I’d like to welcome back Stephen Flam, the mastermind behind Goden. For the record Steph was also in the legendary Winter and later Thorn.  This is an epic so strap in and enjoy!

 

Intro:                    “All Roads Lead to Ruin” – written and composed by Mike Hill

Outro:                  “Twilight” - Goden

EWB 218 BRANDON LEGION

For any of you that also listen to Necromaniacs, our horror podcast, you’re probably familiar with Brandon.  He hosts the excellent Horror Wolf 666 podcast and blog, so if you’re into all things macabre, definitely check out his stuff.  We had a great time.

 

Intro:     “All Road Lead to Ruin” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill   

Outro:   “”Dead Letters” – Tripping the Mechanism

EWB 217 UNHOLY PASSION 007 FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM

Ralph and I have been talking about doing an episode dedicated to Fields of the Nephilim. I believe the discussions started back when I was hosting Metal Matters, but the 60 minute format would prove to be too restrictive for a band that has such significance to us.  It's not so much a note-by-note accounting of the band's career, but more in line with two fans discussing their experiences with the band's music and the impact they have made on our own creative endeavors.

Intro:     "Unholy Passion Theme" - composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:    "Love Under Will" - Fields of the Nephilim

EWB216 TERENCE HANNUM ERICA

Terence Hannum and Erica Burgner-Hannum join us this week. They actually RETURN for another episode. Terence does plays synth and vocals in Locrian and they both are the creative force behind the  Holy Circle. This time around I wanted to talk about their new collaboration, Mother of Sighs. There is an interesting story behind it so check it out!

 

Intro:                    “Everything Went Black Theme” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:                  “Anxia Corda” – Mother of Sighs

EWB 215 ROAD TO RUIN 006 MALCOLM TENT

Malcolm Tent returns! It’s an epic chat covering GG Allin stories, his (somewhat) new band Bloody Apostles, stories from the Trash American Style days and some other random tangents. For those of you who are new to the show, go back in the vault and check out his earlier episodes.

Malcom owned and operated Trash American Style, one of the greatest record stores on the East Coast. Randy and I both agree that our experiences at Trash helped form us and led us down this ragged path. Through landlord treachery, the brick and motor version of the store no longer exists but you can check out his wares online.

Intro:     “Road to Ruin Theme” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:   “This Room” – GG Allin

EWB 214 Unholy Passion 006 Deftones

It took decades, but I have finally embraced my love for the Deftones despite my general disdain for Nu Metal one of the all-time low points in heavy metal history.  Ralph and I look back and investigate our experiences with the band and how they have made an impact on several sub-genres of metal and alternative music.

 

Intro:                    “Unholy Passion Theme” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:                  “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” – Deftones

EWB 213SHAYAN TRIVAX

I discovered Trivax from listening to the excellent podcast Into the Necrosphere hosted by my brother Jackie Smit; ITN is THE best extreme music that you will ever hope to find, I’ve discovered so many great bands as a result.

Trivax is one such band.  Though they have been in existence for over a decade, I am a new fan.  Jackie was kind enough to put me in touch with Shayan, the founder and driving force behind Trivax.  We had a deep conversation, so check it out!

Intro:     Everything Went Black Theme Song – composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:   “Into the Void” - Trivax

EWB 212 JADE WILLOW

This week, Jade Willow, adult entertainer, visual artist, podcaster and appreciator of all things macabre, joins us. I was recently a guest on her podcast, Shedding the Skin, and we had such an interesting conversation that I thought it would be cool to have her on Everything Went Black.

Intro:                 “Everything Went Black Theme” – Composed and recorded by Mike Hill

Outro:               “Cruel Lover” – The Devil’s Blood

EWB 211 UNHOLYCOMICS

It was destined to happen. It was only a matter of time before Ralph and I spent an entire episode talking about comic books. Fortunately, now is probably the best time to do such an episode with all of the various Marvel and DC film and TV projects in the works.
