Weird Obscure and Somewhat Crushing 08.01.2022

Ol' Dirty Hick pulls from some of his favourite albums of 2021. Type O Negative was re-issue and that some of the stuff I never knew I needed in my life. Goth Doom and speaking of Goth Doom BRNO out of Argentina brings it. Daxma, Monolord, and Jointhugger hold the frame work of doom together. The corner stone of this show was 15+minutes of Goddamn High from Earthbong. Check out the show it is a gr...

Serena is back and spinning some heavy hitters! 04.12.2021

B-Sides 20.11.2021

We are hitting up the B-Sides of the Vinyls today. Starting with Monolord's brand new album Your Time To Shine the B-side holds an amazing space and is reminiscent of Pink Floyd Meddle. Some O Type Negative and in a similar vein Port in The Storm from Victoria's Hail the Void . later on we get into some New Creeping Death and the entireB-side of that album followed by Carass' new album Torn Arteri...

Blasphemic Mindflaying 06.11.2021

Ferris ritualizes, mutates, starves, laments, dies, mispronounces, terrorizes, swears, nucleates, crepitates, grips, infests, mutilates, perceives, glaciates, drifts, and oozes horrible rhythmic sounds through a drunken fog of drug smoke and piss mist. Not recommended for cowards.

Slowly Sawn 30.10.2021

Raise a toast of goat's blood to the elder gods with us, and be damned for all eternity!!!! It's the 2021 Powerchord Halloween episode, and we're celebrating by blasting all manner of gruesome, horrific, and satanic debauchery!

Circumcision Covenant 02.10.2021

Spiderbit foreskin removal by a tainted sword. Fucked in a cave crypt by the law. The preserved owl screeches, aflame. Featuring a preview of the Ghosts of the Covenant gig (October 8, 2021), host Ferris plays cuts from each of the 7 bands presenting. Add to that some real brain stabbing harsh noise, warmetal, sex, and of course death.

Coleman is at the helm with the duo behind Edmonton's Sorguinazia. They grant us some insight into their dark, mesmerizing new album "The Negation of Delerium", and a preview of the first two singles.

Funereality 11.09.2021

Almost entirely deathmetal, Ferris' playlist this week will grant you sex magick in the primordial aeon. Plenty of deep cuts with which to cut deeply. The colour of psychic power is blue, then red. Run for your life.

Climbing the Majestic Mountain 04.09.2021

This Show is a nod to my favourite record label Majestic Mountain Records. We start with some new local Black Metal from Ulvik and Worm Witch and slowly delve into the world of that which is Majestic. Bands like Kal-el who was just nominated for the top spot on the Doom Charts for the month of August along with Droid Attack, Sonic Demon, Mama Doom and others who have scaled the Majestic mountain....
