Diary of Doom ·

2021/08/19

J.J. Anselmi returns in part two of our conversation as we dive deeper into Doomed to Fail, including Fenriz's love for electropop, taking in Eyehategod big gooey warts and all, how an unproduced Thirty-Three and a Third on Dopesick turned into Doomed to Fail, John Darnielle: Master of Reality and Wordsmithing, appreciating fantasy through metal, the one lineup he would like to see once more, the curious case of Floor, Harvey Milk doing their Harvey Milk thing, velcro as a metaphor for doom sounds,

Chapter 91 - J.J. Anselmi Part I

Diary of Doom ·

2021/08/12

Back in March 2020, J.J. Anselmi's anticipated book, Doomed to Fail, hit the stands just as the world was entering the global pandemic we are still reeling from. It was darkly fitting, given that the sonic feel of doom and sludge was about where our brains were for most of the year. J.J. was kind enough to take some time out of his day and be the second J.J. to grace the podcast. In the first of two parts, we dive into J.J.'s upbringing and how he learned the ins and outs of doom and sludge,

Chapter 90 - Matt C. White - Dead Seconds/Grandpa...

Diary of Doom ·

2021/08/05

Before we get rolling, we need to offer a big apology to our guest. The first half of this chapter has some particularly gnarly audio. That's what you get for recording outside, in Brooklyn, in a helicopter route, next to a produce truck, on a very windy day. As it is, our guest for this chapter is Matt C. White, who you probably know from his outfits Dead Seconds, Grandpa Jack and Realizer, as well as his solo albums. Over beers, Matt and Dylan bond over Mastodon bonding over Thin Lizzy, weird

Chapter 89 - Lightmaker

Diary of Doom ·

2021/07/29

Our host has taken up a new residence and moved the Doom Cave out to Brooklyn, so it is only fitting to be speaking with an NYC band this week. Jack, Brian, and Jade of Lightmaker stop by to talk about metal over old folkies and yacht rock, an all bass cover of "Big Bottom", living dangerously with Craig's List, growing up with Colorado metal hippies, Dopesmoker - the slowest prog rock song ever, being college buddies with Intronaut's Joe Lester, Jinx Dawson's bedazzled mask, pressing albums to

Diary of Doom ·

2021/07/22

Our Satanik Royalty Showcase will conclude for now with Ryan and Adam of Dark Meditation. Having been bandmates for 20 years, they've been in a swath of outfits across genres and this is their latest venture. During our chat, we talk about D'Anno over Dickinson, finding the positive spirituality in Sabbath and Trouble, using the band as a personal outlet, burning art galleries holding up Church of Misery and Black Wizard, Matt Bayles strikes again (this time with production notes), a quick shot of

Chapter 87 - Satanik Royalty Records Showcase - Old Iron

Diary of Doom ·

2021/07/15

Our Satanik Royalty showcase continues with the heaviest band this side of Seattle, Old Iron. Jerad, Trent, and old pal Jesse (see our last episode with Sandrider) join in to talk about strip club bass procurement, how a busy drummer saved the band, the strange case of Hella and Don Caballero, why Seattle is a perpetual music town, avoiding a garage full of records, how to say Rwake, playing with Power Trip, tiptoeing back to live shows, theoretically playing The Garden, opening up a hacky sack pit,

Chapter 86 - Satanik Royalty Records Showcase -...

Diary of Doom ·

2021/07/08

Back in April, Seattle Mayor of Metal Freiburger launched Satanik Royalty Records, an independent music label and clothing line. Freiburger's goal is to expand on exactly what he does best: supporting the Seattle underground scene as well as the local indigenous and non-binary communities. Diary of Doom will be showcasing the bands on Satanik Royalty's initial roster. We previously spoke with Freiburger and the rest of deathCAVE earlier this year in Chapter 67 if you want to check that out. After

Chapter 85 - Indus Valley Kings

Diary of Doom ·

2021/07/01

Long Island trio Indus Valley Kings released their debut LP earlier this year. New Jersey and Long Island accents collide as they talk about hardcore, getting added to the Maryland Doom Fest lineup, only letting Sabbath play on the classic rock station, the unfortunate tribute band Bon Journey, slow ass fight scenes, OG NJ heavy rock, making the most of the pandemic downtime, Vince Neil's new language and his future battle with Glenn Danzig. Support the Indus Valley Kings. Track featured is "Cactus

Chapter 84 - Oryx

Diary of Doom ·

2021/06/24

The Colorado metal scene is currently experiencing a lush and fertile era, bolstered by a strong community that looks out for each other and makes efforts to check elitism at the door. With a new record out now, Denver's Oryx has injected a fresh feel into their sound by utilizing the massive amount of talent present in the area (we're talking Many Blessings, Cthonic Deity, AND Blood Incantation members all guesting on the record). Tommy and Abbey delve into their beginnings in Las Cruces, New

Chapter 83 - Ode to Doom Returns

Diary of Doom ·

2021/06/17

Returning from way back in chapter two, Claudia Crespo comes back to usher in some good news: Ode to Doom is returning! Claudia moved out to Oregon since we last spoke with plans to continue to produce Ode to Doom from the West Coast. Naturally, COVID-19 upended those plans, but with shows on the horizon, she can again focus on putting together the showcase and her online store, Tie Dye City. All that plus why it was all flan's fault, crazy Oregon drivers, why the move had to happen, the sexual

Chapter 82 - Leather Lung

Diary of Doom ·

2021/06/10

He was once referred to as the "David Lee Roth of doom" and, now, Leather Lung's Mike Vickers is a soon to be neighbor of our very own cipher, who will be moving to Brooklyn this month. But in the meantime, he's got Mike in house to chat about how he discovered Saint Vitus while listening to Saint Vitus (on the Fung Wah Bus), the one time he refused a joint, roller skating hardcore singers, how there is nothing worse than Wooster drivers, Slayer on the N64, Electric Wizard's Top 8, his first band

01:29:11

Chapter 81 - Earl Holloway

Diary of Doom ·

2021/06/03

KCBC house artist Earl Holloway joins us for this week's chapter. Earl had previously popped up in the cipher's life when he was commissioned to do a bit of original artwork for him (which you can see on their respective Instagram pages), so it was only natural that these two would, like the unexpected car accident that happened during recording, eventually come together. They broach a number of topics, including Virgin Mary muscle car murals, what it was like for Earl to bounce from art school to

Chapter 80 - Domkraft

Diary of Doom ·

2021/05/27

Swedish doom rockers Domkraft join us this week, with Martin Widholm in-house with us. After reminiscing of the Day of Doom back in 2019, Martin delves into why he chose skateboarding and punk rock over sports, being part of one big happy doom-punk family, stemming out from garage rock, Roadburn innovation, having a (Pink Floyd's) Meddlesome childhood, that Swedish sound, government-funded rehearsal spaces, a tale of two Martin's, Magnetic Eye's commitment to the music, the evolving album artwork of

Chapter 79 - Tines

Diary of Doom ·

2021/05/20

Our guest this week is Glenn Szymanski of Buffalo's Tines. Glenn runs us through his musical history, talking about being converted to metal through The Road Warriors tag-team duo, his old death metal band Mutant Supremacy and experimental outfit Ad Hoc Theory, Tines' exploratory EP, not being influenced by anything post-1985, what it is like to be too musical for punk and too loud and fast for hard rock, housing Andy Patterson back in the day, building the NY Doomed and Stoned compilation, his many

Chapter 78 - Black Tar Superstar

Diary of Doom ·

2021/05/13

From the murky depths of Akron rises the Black Tar Superstar! Reaper and Texas Heat drop in to talk about their forthcoming album, as well as keeping that Texas energy real onstage, how the collapse of one band lead to BTS, being sold on Diamond & Danzig, Ozzfest '99, taking notes from Trey Azagthoth to stay humble, recognize their international fans, the power of teaching music (but keeping the metal band under wraps for the kids), a one-man 8-bit Game Boy band, doom mash waves, Skyline Chili vs

01:08:51

Chapter 77 - Elliott Trifilo

Diary of Doom ·

2021/05/06

It's Diary of Doom: Coast to Coast edition, as two fellow Psychos unite from opposite ends of the land. Elliott Trifilo dishes out on why he appreciates all genres spawned from the fretboard, the magic feeling of being at the right festival, powering through illness for Danava, the logistics of a traveling festival, many Psycho Las Vegas memories, festival tactics, not paying extra for the Misfits, a saucerful of sound issues, getting back into hardcore, and being a hard stan for Dunable. If you are

Chapter 76 - Wake Brewing

Diary of Doom ·

2021/04/29

We are closing out 4/20 month by talking about beer. Not just any beer: riff infused beer. Jason Parris has been a lifetime lover of metal and beer and in 2017, he joined the pantheon of metal breweries with Wake Brewing. During our chat, Jason talks about cutting his teeth on home brews, booking for RIBCO, why 3 Floyds' Dark Lord changed the beer game, avoiding the Etsy brewery appearance like the plague, the long-lasting DIY similarities of craft beer and metal, stealing tunes from his drunk

Chapter 75 - God Luck & Good Speed Commentary

Diary of Doom ·

2021/04/22

For our normally scheduled chapter this week, August and Dylan have done another album commentary episode on the much-loved Weedeater album, God Luck & Good Speed. As they peel back the layers of this very sweaty onion, they talk about how Spelljammer made August's band break up, a very drunk Psycho Las Vegas set, Benjamin Jones: International Man of Mystery, coordinating Nine Inch Dong shirts, pairing cough syrup with cheese, seeing Gwar at a pop punk festival, biblical snowstorms, how to get Dylan

01:02:40

Chapter 74 - Bongzilla

Diary of Doom ·

2021/04/20

We've got a 4/20 bonus episode for y'all and we couldn't think of a more fitting guest other than Bongzilla! Vocalist and now bassist Mike "Muleboy" Mikela dialed in from the dankest corner of the Cheese State itself to help the cipher celebrate the holiday in style. Together they go on about how a little weed would go a long way for all, how growing the holy harvest has changed over the years, the first (and the worst) time Muleboy smoked, the stray hippie effect, why they are more about the music

01:32:20

Chapter 73 - Evil Bong w/ I Hope You Suffer

Diary of Doom ·

2021/04/15

We are breaking bud and format for this week's chapter, as the cipher delves into the mythos of the Evil Bong series, a franchise that somehow gets worse as it gets better. In order to do so, we've recruited Nathan and Kit from I Hope You Suffer to help combat the most stationery of villains and disseminate what little they can from these cornerstones of cinema. During their epic journey, they address Gary Busey evading hitmen, the stacked cast of Sharknado 6, the fall of Andrew Cuomo as played by
