Show Notes
TDMG has returned after withstanding the wrath of nature with shotgun and Miller High Life in hand just in time for an episode of punishing midpaced crunch courtesy of TBMG. After a mini-review of Keroeis, a project by associates of TDMG which plays around the edges of older USBM ala Black Funeral with updates from the orthodox scene, we move toward more minimal territory. Deadform: stenchcore supergroup dwelling in the realms of noisy, nihilistic sludge. Barathrum: long-running Finnish legends update their traditionally Beheretish style of black metal with thrashing tempos and more acrobatic guitars.0:00:00 - Intro / Keroeis - Priestess Emanations (Independent)0:24:35 - Deadform - Entrenched in Hell (Tankcrimes)1:06:00 - Interlude - Skaven - “Plague Wind” fr.

More from TERMINUS: extreme metal podcast
You've heard them talk about new albums no one's heard. You've heard them talk about old albums that everyone's heard. But what of the best category of all: old, brilliant records that no one's heard? Join us in the inaugural edition of TERMINUS ESOTERICA, where your hosts dig up their favorite forgotten gems in desperate need of further appraisal. Today's exhibit: early Alaskan black metal project Mirkvid's "The Burning Night," an unusual and elegant take on industrial black metal which just might be one of USBM's finest moments. 0:00:00 - Mirkvid - The Burning Night (Independent, 2002) 1:29:31 - Outro - Bound by Entrails - “Above Me, She Bleeds” fr.

In this triumphant (if bite-sized) return for I Hate Video Games, your host examines Crimsonland, an obscure early 00s twin-stick shooter that just might be the best of its genre. Terminus links:Terminus on YoutubeTerminus on PatreonTDMG on [email protected]
On the second part of our goth extravaganza, your hosts review two seminal records by Danzig and Type O Negative. Danzig's eponymous debut presents a fascinating take on goth rock which maintains a strident hardcore discipline, while Type O Negative's fourth shows the band at their darkest and most extreme doom metal form. Throughout it all: an exploration of how Danzig and Steele use the same DNA to produce wildly different animals. 0:00:00 - The Agnostic Front Incident 0:10:19 - Key Aesthetic Distinctions 0:25:35 - Danzig - Danzig I (Def American Recordings, 1988) 1:41:11 - Albert King - “The Hunter” fr.
