Diary of Doom ·

2022/01/06

It's the first chapter of 2022 and judging by the looks of things, the year is going to be running consistent with the theme of this podcast. To kick off the new season, our guest for the first chapter is Isaac from the Oakland, CA-based band Daxma. Daxma released their sophomore album in November of 2021 and during the chat, Isaac and Dylan talk about seeing Wolves in the Throne Room (in the woods), string sections, cinematic vibes, a life-changing experience in Istanbul, and getting hooked up with

Chapter 111 - Drownyard

Diary of Doom ·

2021/12/30

We're finally here, the final chapter of 2021. It's been, well, it's been a year. But that said, DOD trudged along and there's no better way to ring in the new year than with a hometown crew. Dylan ventured out to Wild East Brewing to meet up with the members of Brooklyn's Drownyard. Amidst some background racket and a lot of beers (they were in a brewery after all), Robin, Gino, and Milton talk about their recently released sophomore album as well as beings masters of sax, Beavis & Butthead's

Chapter 110 - Shi - 死

Diary of Doom ·

2021/12/23

We are rapidly approaching the end of the year and there remains no shortage of doom. Mostly in the real world, but also talking about here, on the wonderful cesspool of the internet. Our guest this week is Bael from Kentucky's Shi, or Shi - 死 for the hardcore fans. Shi released their second full-length, Basement Wizard, earlier this year and Bael dropped in to talk about it, as well as the right way to say Louisville, how they became trve subterranean warlocks, when metalcore has its time and

Chapter 109 - Matador

Diary of Doom ·

2021/12/16

A Brit, an Aussie, and a dork from New Jersey all cross the Canadian border and the border guard says, "...well, lovely to have you, eh!" This week, we are dipping back into our Canadian contingency with Vancouver's Matador. James and Scott join in to talk about their new EP, The Surge, as well as shitty Nirvana covers, Russian Circle's vow of silence, trying out so many bassists they got tired of trying out bassists, why the drums stand out in post-metal, audio sculptures, the Vancouver local

Chapter 108 - Justin Sherrell - Somnuri

Diary of Doom ·

2021/12/09

Somnuri dropped a banger of an album earlier this year with Nefarious Waves and over cold beers during a colder November evening, Dylan picked the brain of their guitarist, Justin Sherrell. Set against the wonderfully noisy backdrop of Prospect Park, they dive into Justin's journey from Boston to New York to Somnuri, including such topics as taking a bullet to learn the guitar, staying Limp on the Bizkit but Down with the System, drowning on FM radio playlists, speaking the music language with

Chapter 107 - Milana

Diary of Doom ·

2021/12/02

We return once more to Spain, specifically the beautiful island of Mallorca to speak with Will from the band Milana. Despite some setbacks from the pandemic, it hasn't halted Milana's momentum at all as Will elaborates on, plus watching Iron Maiden on the tube, Jimi Hendrix live in Mallorca, how the then dictatorship influenced their musical culture, using the Spanish language to get a step up, Florida flavored death metal, why their singer helps loosen things up, mental scars, and spiritual

Chapter 106 - Low Flying Hawks

Diary of Doom ·

2021/11/24

We are thrilled to feature EHA and AAL (Eddie and Alex respectively), the main creative forces behind Low Flying Hawks, as our guests for this chapter. Along with collaborators Toshi Kasai, Dale Crover, and Trevor Dunn, the duo released Fuyu earlier this year, which is the conclusion to their album trilogy. During our chat with them, we delve into the brilliance of Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy, a real love for slow music that makes you feel, brain dancing, Bohren's giant bass, emotional drummers,

Chapter 105 - An Ode to John Hopkins & Barnaby Struve

Diary of Doom ·

2021/11/18

In just a few days, it will have been one year since friend of the show, tour manager extraordinaire, and front of house master John Hopkins passed away. I don’t need to state again the impact a person like John Hopkins can have on a community, not to mention the individual person. All you have to do is ask someone who knew John the way we all did. Back in April, I recorded an episode with Jason Parris of Wake Brewing, which would not have happened as it did without John’s ability to link us up. No

Chapter 103 - Shannon Hodges

Diary of Doom ·

2021/11/04

We actually took that turn at Albuquerque and ran into fellow fan and Psychonaut Shannon Hodges. Shannon is dropping in to relay what it was like attending Psycho Las Vegas in the year of the plague, along with witnessing hair metal get the boot, Oregon venues, White Zombie filling the Kiss void, Static-X's weak fencing, fandom crossover, Mystery Science Theater 3000, the best way to support a band, young rockers needing a mom, and a very awkward photograph with Mothership. Note: There is a

Chapter 102 - Godmaker

Diary of Doom ·

2021/10/28

It has been a long time coming, but NY favorites Godmaker have finally graced Diary of Doom with their presence. Professional noise-maker Pete Ross and unintentional peg-legged pirate Jon Lane address all manner of things Godmaker centric and not, such as learning music via threat, Portishead fights, catharsis, chugga squee origins, elusive second guitarists, why Hull is the standard for good metal, music as religion, Kirk Windstein stamp of approval, trolling with Marvin Gaye, Icing and the many

Chapter 101 - Clothesline

Diary of Doom ·

2021/10/21

Dylan met up with Clothesline during one of their pre-practice rituals at Lucky 13 Saloon. Finally coming out of pandemic hibernation, Davis, John, and Jake are working on new tunes and along the way, they discuss their first concerts (supervised and unsupervised), show us specifically on the doll where the air-guitaring happened, a "Mission from 'Arry", almost dying via BMW wreck, wrestling, and getting Dave Richmond to uphold the drummer rule. Also enjoy the assorted background sounds of Lucky 13,

Chapter 100 Retrospective

Diary of Doom ·

2021/10/14

Well, we're finally here. What started out as a bi-weekly, zero-budget podcast hosted by an awkward stoner has evolved into a still mostly zero-budget podcast, still hosted by a somewhat less awkward stoner. But in all seriousness, it's been a wild, interesting ride. I've been able to meet and chat with people from Spain, Italy, Sweden, and Australia. I've discovered countless hours of new music. I've done crossovers and worked with people that without this platform (and the growing circle of

Chapter 99 - Brenna Leath - Crystal Spiders

Diary of Doom ·

2021/10/07

We are on the eve of 100 chapters of Diary of Doom, but before we get there, we got Brenna Leath from the Crystal Spiders (as well as Lightning Born) to stop by for the penultimate episode. The Crystal Spiders have a new album out now and we talk about what it was like making it (plus a whole mess of other songs) during the vacuum of the pandemic, as well as a year of tribute albums, using her voice to write a song for Mike Dean approval, discovering rock through burned CDs from her bad high school

Chapter 98 - Psychic Hit

Diary of Doom ·

2021/09/30

We are chatting with Oakland, CA's Psychic Hit in this week's chapter. Having just released their debut, Dre and Justin dive into their secret origins and how the band has been blossoming out, as well as being reared on the 36 Chambers, getting "Entranced by the Sad Wings of Destiny", talk about Metallica (again!), what's really in their name, trading in jorts for bell-bottoms, pulling out all the stops for their album photoshoot, how the Oakland scene boosts up its members, Kadavar's genial nature,

Diary of Doom ·

2021/09/23

Joining us for this week's chapter are Scott and Amber of the new heavy music collective GUHTS. You are probably familiar with their main band, Witchkiss, but they're taking their musical inspirations to a whole new level now. While discussing how the project came together and expanding the size and sound down the road, we also talk about still wanting to be Blondie, Stevie Nicks' ferrets on leashes, grandpa's unturned guitar, cranky artists in need of silence, understanding each other emotionally

Chapter 96 - Red Beard Wall

Diary of Doom ·

2021/09/16

Let me tell you something folks, our guest this week has such a fine Texas accent, I could listen to him read the Yellow Pages and it would be relaxing. Aaron Wall, the bearded mastermind behind Red Beard Wall, joins us to discuss his latest release as well as a whole mess of other shit including when his hometown churches banned MTV, those bands that change the game, how doom is a chopped and screwed version of heavy metal, winning a Doomed & Stoned contest to record an album, the power of the

Chapter 95 - Onyric Joy

Diary of Doom ·

2021/09/09

We are on continuing on with our unplanned Mediterranean theme this week with our friends in Onyric Joy. Hailing from Barcelona, members Edu, Victor, and Alvar chime in on where Spain falls in the psyche rock fandom, starting out in local punk and hip-hop scenes, major prog influences, showing up to audition with no pedals or amps, pulling off some much-needed shows (which you can watch here), why they like to keep things a little bit lighter, and one crazy horse of a bass. Support Onyric Joy and

Chapter 94 - Ikitan

Diary of Doom ·

2021/09/02

Dialing in all the way from Genoa, Italy, we warmly welcome Ikitan to the Diary. Seriously, look at them, they're clearly freezing their butts off. That's because they made their debut appearance by playing on top of an abandoned military fort. Luca, Frik, and Enrico get into how they got there as well as talking about the Italian prog-rock explosion, Goblin, going from high school rock band to instrumental psyche, how they found themselves following an unplanned 2020 theme for their first release,

Long-time Portland area photographer, Alyssa Herrman, joins us for this week's chapter.
