Maniac Monday LV - Epicvs Metallicvs III

That's right, the temple of truth that is Maniac Monday returns with a third instalment in the Epicvs Metallicvs series. I had to open with a track off the new Teitanblood such is its ferocity, and it promptly set the tone for what is surely one of the heaviest shows in a while, albeit with a few lighter moments, hehe.
Thanks again to all who listened in live, and to all the bands I featured for making these great, epic tracks. I will return on April 14th, 2014, with maybe something a little less gargantuan. Maybe...

Maniac Monday LII - DARKTHRONE—Lust for Hell (The Next 978 Years Are Still Theirs)

 YES. At last, it has arrived—the Darkthrone show. As mentioned at the top of the show, this is not a definitive guide to Darkthrone or anything like it, just me playing 22 Darkthrone tracks I haven't played on the show before (I have already played 22 tracks—a whole 'nother show's worth—over the past 52 shows), with one track appearing off each official release. Sure, I skipped the singles and anything retrospective pretty much, but you get the gist.

Nothing more to say here really except enjoy the show and here's hoping for more classic Darkthrone releases in the future!

Maniac Monday returns on March 3rd for more metal madness (I have no idea what exactly yet because I can't stop listening to Juju, Catastrophe Ballet, and Closer, haha. Maybe a deathrock show :P), so be sure to tune in then. Or wait and get it here afterwards. The choices are yours, motrals...

The Misanthrope

Yesterday I did pretty much nothing except wallow in misanthropy, which, as it sounds, wasn't a whole bunch of fun. Darkthrone's other majestic half, Nocturno Culto, made a whole 56 minute movie about said subject, called The Misanthrope - The Existence Of... Solitude And Chaos. He has described it as, "a strange documentary/fiction piece...a totally weird film with no actual information, but with atmosphere and self irony".



I haven't actually seen it yet but it looks pretty necro, from trips to visit people in the wilderness in northern Norway to a trip to Japan to sign Gallhammer, it looks like it could be amazing, if only for people into Darkthrone (he writes in the inside cover, "some will find this DVD totally pointless"). I have however heard the soundtrack and if like me you think the track running over the trailer is really next level shit (it's called Necroposers) then follow the link below to sample the album...
