Another year has come to a closeâ?¦ and damn, what an unbelievable year for extreme metal! Since there were so many great albums to sift through, we decided to break it up into two episodes that weâ??d run back to backâ?? long enough to fill most holiday commutes (at nearly 3 hours) and timeless enough to act as a mix tape of how truly rad 2009 was for metal!

Ripe for the holiday season, we bring you the black metal stylings of Sweden's Marduk! A band that has gone through several distinct phases, some more innovative than others, but all culminating in their 2009 masterwork... Wormwood. This first show we'll be investigating their early era, focusing on Dark Endless, Those of The Unlight, Opus Nocturne, Heaven Shall Burn... When We Are Gathered, Nightwing and Panzer Division Marduk.

It had to happen... quiet possibly the best known extreme metal band in the world, Cannibal Corpse, is the subject of this week's show. Sure, we could have done a multiple part series examining their entire career, but we opted to each pick some of our faves and go from there. If you want to know more about the band, there is an excellent documentary called Centuries of Torment, which answers any question you could possibly have about them. Return to Flesh (4:21) The Bleeding (1994) Mark's Pick TALKSET 1 Born in a Casket (3:20) Eaten Back To Life (1990) Mutual A Skull Full of Maggots (2:06) Eaten Back To Life (1990) Mark's Pick Meat Hook Sodomy (5:47) Butchered at Birth (1991) Mark's Pick Rancid Amputation (3:16) Butchered at Birth (1991) Mark's Pick TALKSET 2 Addicted to Vaginal Skin (3:31) Tomb of the Mutilated (1992) Jason's Pick I Cum Blood (3:41) Tomb of the Mutilated (1992) Jason's Pick Post Mortal Ejaculation (3:37) Tomb of the Mutilated (1992) Jason's Pick Staring Through the Eyes of the Death (3:30) The Bleeding (1994) Mark's Pick TALKSET 3 Stripped, Raped & Strangled (3:27) The Bleeding (1994) Mark's Pick She Was Asking for It (4:33) The Bleeding (1994) Jason's Pick The Bleeding (4:20) The Bleeding (1994) Jason's Pick TALKSET 4 The Discipline of Revenge (3:39) Kill (2006) Jason's Pick
This week we take our maiden voyage to Poland. A hotbed of visceral death metal, lead by the godfathers of the scene, Vader. The often overlooked band has refined their brand of metal into a razor sharp, groove filled testament of staying the same (Bolt Throweritus) but remaining relevant and continue to hone their art. Demonâ??s Wind (15:08) The Ultimate Incantation (1993) TALKSET 1 The Crucified Ones (3:37) The Ultimate Incantation (1993) Final Massacre (4:54) The Ultimate Incantation (1993) Blood of Kingu (4:38) De Profundis (1995) Silent Empire (4:02) De Profundis (1995) TALKSET 2 Carnal (2:09) Black To The Blind (1997) Fractal Light (2:42) Black To The Blind (1997) Xeper (4:01) Litany (2000) Revelation of Black Moses (6:56) Revelations (2002) TALKSET 3 When Darkness Calls (5:16) Revelations (2002) Helleluyah!!/God is Dead (3:02) Impressions in Blood (2006) Never Say My Name (2:03) Necropolis (2009) TALKSET 4 Where The Sun Drowns The Dark (4:33) Necropolis (2009)
This week we bridge the divide between punk and metal by going back to the roots to discover weâ??re not really that different. This week Iâ??m joined by Kevin Cross, illustrator and musician (Big Rig, Pitch Black, Nerve Agents and others) as we heal the rift of the punk and metal brotherhood. The approach to our song selection was informed by trying to spotlight â??metalâ?? elements within punk music that could act as an inroad for metal fans to appreciate the genre. Now lets all get along and embrace our similaritiesâ?¦ Religious Vomit (Dead Kennedys) In God We Trust, Inc. TALKSET 1 Rock & Roll Gas Station (Adrenalin O.D.) The Wacky Hi-Jinks ofâ?¦ Religious Wars (Subhumans) Religious Wars EP No God (The Germs) Lexicon Devil EP No Love (Big Boys) The Fat Elvis F*ck Authority (Raw Power) The Reagan Years I Remember (MDC) Millions of Dead Cops/More Dead Cops TALKSET 2 This is My Life (7 Seconds) Skins, Brains, and Guts EP Destroy the Handicapped (Fang) Landshark Teach Your Children Well (Christ on Parade) Insanity is a Sane Reaction Be All You Can Be (Corrupted Morals) Chet 7â?³ Making Room For Youth (Social Unrest) Making Room For Youth 7â?³ Out of School (JFA) Blatant Localism EP The Ungovernable Farce (Conflict) The Ungovernable Farce Thaw/Cold World (Septic Death) Attention TALKSET 3 Red Tape (Circle Jerks) Group Sex Iâ??m Tired (Die Kreuzen) October File Oxnard (Ill Repute) What Happened Then I Donâ??t Belong (Jerryâ??s Kids) Is This My World Code Blue (T.S.O.L) Dance With Me New Rose (The Damned) Neat Neat Neat Fast Cars (Buzzcocks) Another Music in a Different Kitchen Hinkley Had a Vision (The Crucifucks) Our Will Be Done Blow Up The Embassy (Fearless Iranians From Hell) ST TALKSET 4 Dead Cities (The Exploited) Troops of Tomorrow
In our further blackened death coverage (and, man do we love genre names) we conclude our discussion on Dissection, with their Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane record. Considered a benchmark album, and rightly so, Stormâ?¦ still holds up as one of the genre defining classics of the 90s. Dissection did have a brief return to the scene with Reinkaos and Maha Kali, but neither captured the fire and blazing ferocity as their first two records, so weâ??re ending our coverage here. Donâ??t get me wrong, there are some good songs on the a fore mentioned albums, but not enough in our minds to justify another show. So enjoy the blackened metal of death with Dissection. At the Fathomless Depths (1:56) Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane (1995) Nightâ??s Blood (6:41) Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane (1995) Talkset 1 Unhallowed (7:29) Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane (1995) Where Dead Angels Lie (5:52) Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane (1995) Retribution â??

Back to the late 80s, the post-hardcore/rock scene that for better or worse seemed to have sew the seeds of Nu Metal. But before the deluge of garbage we had Helmet. Looking back, you can hear their influence penetrated into a much of the rock/hardcore scenes. Revisit Helmet with us. Repetition (3:01) Strap It On (1990) Talkset 1 Shirley Maclaine (6:23) Born Annoying (1989) Bad Moon (2:16) Strap It On (1990) Sinatra (4:31) Strap It On (1990) Talkset 2 FBLA (3:41) Strap It On (1990) Black Top (3:21) Strap It On (1990) Turned Out (4:14) Meantime (1992) Talkset 3 In The Meantime (3:08) Meantime (1992) Ironhead (3:23) Meantime (1992) Give It (4:18) Meantime (1992) Talkset 4 Wilmaâ??s Rainbow (3:54) Betty (1994) I Know (3:41) Betty (1994) Tic (3:40) Betty (1994)
Since we love black metal so much and the seasons are changing, leading into the grim frostbitten kingdoms of winter, we thought we'd throw another Norway show at you. This week is Ulver. Many may know the versatile front man, Garm from his many side projects or his more electronic endeavors, but this episode we'll be focusing on their "Black Metal Trilogie." Bergtatt, Kveldssanger & Nattens Madrigal. For ease of reading, I'll be listing the songs as us stupid Americans can understand them. Lost in the Forest of Trolls (7:51) Bergtatt (1994) TALKSET 1 The Sun Goes Down Behind The Hills (6:35) Bergtatt (1994) She Noticed She Was Being Watched (7:44) Bergtatt (1994) Words (:18) Kveldssanger (1995) Mountaintop Picture (2:15) Kveldssanger (1995) TALKSET 2 East of the Sun and West of the Moon (3:40) Kveldssanger (1995) Clad in the Colours of Night (2:51) Kveldssanger (1995) Exodus (2:57) Kveldssanger (1995) TALKSET 3 Of Wolf and Fear (6:16) Nattens Madrigal (1996) Of Wolf and Hatred (4:48) Nattens Madrigal (1996) TALKSET 4 Of Wolf and Passion (5:48) Nattens Madrigal (1996) Check us out at: http://requiempodcast.com
Back to Norway again-- this time the very influential, yet marginally known act... Thorns. For all intents and purposes Thorns is the musical vehicle for Snorre W. Ruch, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and served 8 years for being an accomplice in Euronymous' (Mayhem) murder, which added to his lack of wide visibility in the scene until his 2001 self titled album. Previously to his 2001 debut, he released Thorns vs Emperor, in an attempt to reintroduce himself to the scene as a prelude to Thorns. Ruch has also been a longtime collaborator with Satyricon, contributed to writing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and in a general sense his unique approach to sonic barbarity and unconventional songwriting can be felt throughout the black metal and extreme metal scenes. Aerie Descent (5:01) Nordic Metal (1995) TALKSET 1 Funeral Marches to the Grave (5:18) Trondertun Demo (1992) Fall (2:20) Grymyrk Demo (1991) Aerie Descent (8:36) Thorns vs Emperor (1998) TALKSET 2 Existence (4:12) Thorns (2001) World Playground Deceit (7:08) Thorns (2001) Stellar Master Elite (3:53) Thorns (2001) TALKSET 3 Underneath the Universe pt 2 (7:30) Thorns (2001) Vortex (5:36) Thorns (2001) For more info: http://requiempodcast.com
In an effort to keep our scope of metal broadâ?¦ this week we bring you The Melvins. Weâ??ll be focusing on their Atlantic years, which gives a good cross section of their sound without laboring you, dear listener with their more noisy, experimental stuff (maybe another show). Honey Bucket (3:01) Houdini (1993) TALKSET 1 Night Goat (7:36) Houdini Live: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust (2005) Hag Me (7:06) Houdini (1993) Teet (2:51) Houdini (1993) TALKSET 2 Joan of Arc (3:36) Houdini (1993) Skweetis (1:12) Stoner Witch (1994) Queen (3:06) Stoner Witch (1994) At The Stake (7:56) Stoner Witch (1994) TALKSET 3 Revolve (4:44) Stoner Witch (1994) Buck Owens (3:09) Stag (1996) Skin Horse (4:15) Stag (1996) Berthas (1:25) Stag (1996) TALKSET 4 The Bit (4:43) Stag (1996)
After a brief hiatus for Labor Day, weâ??re back with another album spotlight episodeâ??Dissection The Somberlain. For a band with such a brief career, they left a lasting impression and presence within the extreme metal scene still felt today. With their Storm of the Lightâ??s Bane album and At The Gatesâ?? Slaughter of the Soul, they effectively closed the door on what was thought possible in death metal. This is the time when many death metal acts were really shedding their extreme roots and venturing into more mainstream territory. This episode we focus on their debut record, The Somberlain, a hungry, ambitious, fury of a album which injected elements of thrash, black metal and an obscene amount of melody. Black Horizons (8:10) The Somberlain (1993) TALKSET 1 The Somberlain (7:04) The Somberlain (1993) A Land Forlorn (6:40) The Somberlain (1993) Heavenâ??s Damnation (4:42) The Somberlain (1993) TALKSET 2 Frozen (3:48) The Somberlain (1993) Into Infinite Obscurity (1:06) The Somberlain (1993) In The Cold Winds of Nowhere (4:22) The Somberlain (1993) The Grief Prophecy (3:32) The Somberlain (1993) TALKSET 3 Mistress of the Bleeding Sorrow (4:37) The Somberlain (1993)
kreator It's been a while since we've gone into the world of thrash, and what thrash band outside of Slayer have influenced more extreme metal bands... Kreator. Germany's Kreator have had a hell of a long tenure of fantastic output, with only a brief turd period in the 90s. For the purposes of this episode Jason and I are doing a "best of" episode. At least out favorites, so tear the sleeves off your shirt and prepare for Kreator! Storming with Menace (4:28) Terrible Certainty (1987) TALKSET 1 Total Death (3:28) Endless Pain (1985) Riot of Violence (4:56) Pleasure to Kill (1986) Flag of Hate (3:57) Flag of Hate EP (1986) TALKSET 2 Blind Faith (4:11) Terrible Certainty (1987) Extreme Aggression (4:44) Extreme Aggression (1989) Betrayer (4:00) Extreme Aggression (1989) TALKSET 3 Coma of Souls (4:18) Coma of Souls (1990) Hidden Dictator (4:51) Coma of Souls (1990) People of the Lie (3:16) Coma of Souls (1990) TALKSET 4 Impossible Brutality (4:30) Enemy of God (2005)
The final installment of our Judas Priest coverage, focusing on Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Ram it Down and Painkiller. We left out Turbo, if your really interested check it out, but like Point Of Entry it doesn't really reflect the whole of their career. The Hellion (:41) Screaming for Vengeance (1982) Electric Eye (3:39) Screaming for Vengeance (1982) TALKSET 1 Riding on the Wind (3:07) Screaming for Vengeance (1982) Jawbreaker (3:25) Defenders of the Faith (1984) Love Bites (4:47) Defenders of the Faith (1984) TALKSET 2 Rock Hard, Ride Free (5:34) Defenders of the Faith (1984) Ram it Down (4:48) Ram it Down (1988) Painkiller (6:06) Painkiller (1990) TALKSET 3 Night Crawler (5:36) Painkiller (1990) Between the Hammer and the Anvil (4:47) Painkiller (1990) TALKSET 4 A Touch of Evil (5:42) Painkiller (1990) For more info check out: http://requiempodcast.com
