TERMINUS: extreme metal podcast

• Terminus Episode 175 - Dawn.

  After much anticipation, innumerable references on the show, and a shocking number of technical issues, we have arrived with an episode that The Black Metal Guy has been threatening for years. For those unfamiliar, Dawn is one of the finest and also one of the most underappreciated bands of the Swedish 90s melodic black/death metal scene, and one very near and dear to The Black Metal Guy's heart. Join us as we investigate the band's two full-length records and discover what makes them far more than merely another band in the established style. 0:00:00 - Intro/Background of Dawn 0:15:08 - Nær Sólen gar Niþer for Evogher (Necropolis Records, Jan 6 1994) 1:29:34 - INTERLUDE - Taake - “Hordaland doedskvad I,” fr.

• Terminus Episode 174 - Sacramentum and the Roots of Swedish Black/Death

  In the wake of the passing of Nisse Karlén into eternity, it seems only appropriate to pay tribute to a titan of extreme metal. Sacramentum's unique style of melodic black/death metal not only placed them directly alongside bands like Dissection and Dawn, but established melodic ideas and ambitious structural methodologies that would only take root more popularly decades later. Come with us as we take a look at their earliest material and attempt to trace their roots forward up to newer foliage. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:15:44 - Finis Malorum 0:54:30 - Interlude - Vinterland - “Still the Night is Awake” fr.

• Terminus Episode 173 - Paimon Gate, Pyromancer

  Since the beginning of the year, your intrepid hosts have been concentrating exclusively on older, classic material- this all changes today. At least for this episode. In today's entry, we feature the triumphant return of Paimon Gate with a new record that elaborates on their established style with more evolution than might appear at first blush, and the inaugural volley by Pyromancer, whose oppressive brand of late 80s filth brings to mind a blood-smeared and heroin-shooting take on Celtic Frost. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:42 - Paimon Gate - Advanced Satanic Witchcraft (Nuclear War Now) 0:58:40 - Interlude - Blood Storm - “The Atlantean Wardragon,” fr. The Atlantean Wardragon (Cacophonous Records, 1997) 1:03:51 - Pyromancer - Absolute Dominion by Fire (Adirondack Black Mass) 1:44:42 - Outro - Gravewürm - “Ancient Storms of War,” fr.

• Terminus Episode 172 - Prophecy of Doom and Righteous Pigs - Lost Proto-Grindcore Gems

  We have to go back, bros. In today's episode of Terminus, your hosts travel back to 1990 to cover two obscure records close to their hearts, each operating in the primordial ooze of death metal, grindcore, thrash, and hardcore, but with completely contrasting sounds. TBMG brings to the occasion Prophecy of Doom, whose 1990 record resembles Deviated Instinct or early Bolt Thrower but with a demented industrial-stench aesthetic all their own. TDMG's plus one: Righteous Pigs, who create what sounds like modern crowdkilling hardcore out of thrash riffs and jazz drumming. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:10:51 - Prophecy of Doom - Acknowledge the Confusion Master (Deaf Records, 1990) 0:53:46 - Interlude - Sonic Violence - “Tortured (Dub)” fr. Jagd (Peaceville Records, 1990) 1:00:20 - Righteous Pigs - Stress Related (Nuclear Blast Records, 1990) 1:55:34 - Outro - Like Rats - “Bloodline” fr.

• Terminus Episode 171 - Sargeist, Franco-Finnish Black Metal, and the Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

  What happens when you record an all-timer? What happens when you permanently alter the course of an entire genre of music? What happens when a set of very precise techniques enter the basic DNA of an entire generation? On this episode, TDMG and TBMG discuss Sargeist, a band whose influence is so vast it's nearly unnoticed, taking a look at their seminal 2010 record Let the Devil In and their brand new release, Flame Within Flame. Can the band ever achieve the heights of the past? Or, more importantly: should that even be the goal? 0:00:00 - A history of Sargeist, their influence, and Franco-Finnish Black Metal 0:34:55 - Let the Devil In (Moribund Records/World Terror Committee, 2010) 1:36:06 - Interlude - Sargeist - “Let The Devil In,” fr.
