Chapter 152 - Diary Deep Dive - Ep. 5 - Blind Idiot God

Diary of Doom ·

2022/12/08

After watching Freaked! and deciding it had the greatest theme song of all time, Dylan invited Jeremy Hunt from experimental noise rock band, Qoheleth, back on to discuss one of the coolest bands on the planet, Blind Idiot God. They're not exactly doom metal, but they fit very comfortably into the lexicon of heavy, underground music. From their collaborations with John Zorn to getting down with the dub, they delve into why this band rules as well as a possible Undertow conspiracy theory and if

Chapter 151 - The Magician Reversed

Diary of Doom ·

2022/12/01

The card has been drawn by a single hand. The hand of one Nick Bain aka The Magician Reversed. Pulling across the board from goth and doom to the occult and the influence of tarot, Nick juggles it all as the sole force behind this musical endeavor. With his debut album, And Deeper Still, out earlier this year, Nick delves into the metaphysical nature of his music and what it all means, showing praise for Justin Broadrick, Esoteric, and Portal, as well as getting banned from Napster for downloading

Diary of Doom ·

2022/11/17

Well, shit, here we are, just a week or two after the actual anniversary of launching the Diary of Doom podcast, and we've got ourselves to chapter 150! It's been three years since then. I'm sitting here, thinking: Why on Earth did you think launching a podcast right before Thanksgiving was a good idea? Brilliant move there. But, self-deprecation aside, the fact that I am at 150 of anything is still pretty cool. For that, I have to thank everybody who has tuned in for the ride so far as well as all

2022/11/03

We've got Jersey in the house! Sultry singer Jillian Taylor of NJ/Philly rockers Ruby the Hatchet joins us in the doom cave to chat about their recently released album, Fear is a Cruel Master. Naturally, Dylan can't help himself from getting Jillian's opinions on all things Jersey and Philly (potholes, Gritty, pork roll, you know, the usual fare), but thankfully they do talk about other things like when to burp on stage, Fleetwood Mac being heavy as shit, creeping clouds of fear, cults, duets, a

Chapter 147 - ExpiatoriA

Diary of Doom ·

2022/10/27

Thirty-five years ago, somewhere in Italy, a dark ritual was held and ExpiatoriA was ushered into this world. Thirty-five years later, the restless spirit of the band rises again, this time to release its first-ever actual album. In this chapter of the Diary, Dylan sits down with Edoardo Napoli, guitarist in the latest lineup for ExpiatoriA, who explains how the band got back together and what it was like to be recruited into it as a fan first, plus hiding the devil's music from his nona, the

Diary of Doom ·

2022/10/06

We are featuring our friends over at Satanik Royalty Records again, this time with their first non-Seattle-located and freshly signed band, Ugly. Bassist and vocalist Brandon Hay phones in from the dubiously pronounced Prescott, AZ (is it Press-Kit or Press-Scott?) to talk about his epic run of exploring punk, crust, and grind in his early days and ultimately crossing paths with the NW hesher legend Freiburger. Brandon elaborates on the trial-and-error origins of forming a small town band (involving

Chapter 143 - Conan

Diary of Doom ·

2022/09/29

With a new record out and 20 years' worth of caveman battle doom under his belt, the only sign of slowing down for Conan's Jon Davis is his riffs. Fresh off from a trek to Poland, Jon guides us through his history of crafting one of doom's heaviest bands, from when they were initially known as Here Lies the Body to now with the release of Evidence of Immortality. During his chat with Dylan, they cover all sorts of topics including a cock-emblazoned guitar cab, counter fit cassettes, seeing

Chapter 140 - The Toilet ov Hell

Diary of Doom ·

2022/09/08

Diary of Doom is reaching across the proverbial bowel of cyberspace in order to get a proper flush from the Toilet ov Hell. Ambassador 365 Days of Horror, or Jordan as you may know him in reality, joins Dylan to regale him with some Toilet origins and how they have thrived within heavy metal's internet by turning into a respected hub for new music and talking about the things nobody wants to.

Janys-Iren Faughn embodies all facets of getting involved in the heavy metal scene through touring, booking shows, and remaining a true fan of all things heavy and noisy, lusting for pops and crackles all the while.

Diary of Doom ·

2022/08/18

No new chapter this week; instead, Diary of Doom is putting out one of its previously Patreon-exclusive episodes in which Dylan delves into the deeper catalogs of doom, stoner, and sludge bands that aren't Electric Wizard, Sleep, or Eyehategod. We've got a few more of these that we will be putting out over the coming months and hope to do more down the line.

Chapter 134 - Maryland Deathfest 2022 Recap

Diary of Doom ·

2022/07/07

Extreme B.O. Short biker dudes picking fights. Italian horror film composers. Circle pit cunnilingus. Cat puke. These were just some of the things Dylan experienced while attending what will probably be the last Maryland Deathfest. At least for a while. Diary of Doom briefly rears its ugly head from its respite as Dylan recounts his journey into darkness and grime to Nathan from I Hope You Suffer, who also attended MDF in years past. Trigger Warning: We do discuss suicide in this episode per the
