Balaclava Books Episode 2 - Peter Sotos - Total Abuse (Part 2 - Tool.)
TDMG returns with the (somehow) highly anticipated second installment of Balaclava Books, and the second installment of his investigation into Peter Sotos' Total Abuse. This time, we take a look at Tool, the notorious eight-part work which displays Peter Sotos finding his footing in his own style and plumbing ever-deeper depths of human despair and cruelty. Listener discretion strongly advised.

Terminus Episode 170 - Enmity, Last Days of Humanity, and a Brief Tour of Brutal Noisedeath
Thought we were dead? You fucking wish! Terminus is back with a hot one long in the making, where your hosts take a look at the seminal mid-00s work of Enmity and Last Days of Humanity while drawing out broader ideas of brutal death metal's proximity to noise. If black metal without heavy metal gets you Blazebirth Hall, what happens when a similar concept is applied to death metal? Only the most extreme music ever made. After the reviews, stick around for a guided tour of some of TDMG's favorite obscurities from this scene and beyond.

HERESY CORRECTIVE: In a moment of warp-tainted hubris, TBMG misidentifies the Space Marine chapter on the cover of WH40K 1st Edition. It is the CRIMSON Fists, NOT the Imperial Fists. The Inquisition has been notified.

In the inaugural episode of a new series on extreme literature, TDMG explores the earliest work by the infamous Peter Sotos, plunging headlong into the most perverse incarnation of so-called "true crime" writing in the beginning of an effort to explore the real power within one of the world's most scorned authors.
