Show Notes
On today's installment of the world's only extreme metal podcast, we come with three triumphant returns by three favorites of the show- this is one for the record books, folks, with one of the strongest lineups of records in a single episode we've ever featured. First up: the shocking return of Mutiilation, whose 17 year absence seemingly never occurred as Meyna'ch presents six tracks of caustic and necro French black metal in a style nearly forgotten.* Next up: another massive comeback by Brodequin, whose custom brand of blast-oriented brutal death is expanded upon with clearer production and a more pronounced sense of melody. Rounding things out: Coffins returns with more Coffins. No further explanation is required.0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:54 - Mutiilation - Black Metal Cult (Osmose Productions) 1:04:31 - Interlude - Hell Militia - “Born Without Light” fr. Last Station on the Road to Death (Debemur Morti Productions, 2010) 1:10:22 - Brodequin - Harbinger of Woe (Season of Mist Underground Activists) 1:56:25 - Interlude - Cinerary - “Undying” fr. Rituals of Desecration (Deepsend Records, 2001) 1:59:48 - Coffins - Sinister Oath (Relapse Records) 2:48:28 - Outro - Grudge - “Altar of Asphalt,” fr. D.D.D.H. - Doomed to Death, Damned in Hell split w/ Coffins and Anatomia (Grindmind Records, 2007)*CORRECTION: When discussing Mutiilation's weird choice of cover art, TBMG misattributes the Baphomet statue to the Church of Satan (Anton LaVey). He meant to say "The Satanic Temple," a social justice NGO that's only been around for about a decade.Terminus links:Terminus on YoutubeTerminus on PatreonTerminus on InstagramTerminus 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.
