CiTR -- Powerchord

A whole schwack of new shit from Cauldron, Revenge, The Hallowed Catharsis, Cirith Ungol, and the new Whoredom Rife/Taake split. Plus a feature on new live releases, and an inquest into the idea and examples of "modern-classics".

Coleman greets you once again from his basement with riffs aplenty. New shit from the Spectral Lore/Mare Cognitum collab, Panzerfaust, Lady Beast, Ripped to Shreds, Ruin Lust and heaps more.

Coleman cobbles together another show from home, touching on the cancelled Hyperspace Metal fest and Ritual Dictates shows; we pine for live music with Yob and Triptykon; and check out a heap of new jamz from Wake, Black Curse, Nekrovault, Krallice, and more.

Coleman throws together another home recorded show with a bunch of hella long players. We bookend the set with two half-hour masterpieces from Esoteric and Gorguts respectively, plus new Spell, Auroch, Panopticon and a live show that could have been: Year of the Cobra and Mendozza. And an Easter anthem from Deicide.

Welcome to the first ever home recorded episode of Powerchord! It only took a global pandemic to force us to figure it out, but whatever works, right? Listen to Coleman fumble through this trial run, hopefully find his legs in the end, and manage to produce something coherent.

Then we did an...

Black Sabbath's first album was released on Friday, Febuary 13th, 1970. Loud, heavy rock and roll, high-powered amplification, distortion, and drugs existed prior to that, but Sabbath's use of the tritone on the first song of their first album added the final crucial ingredient -- they made the music sound EVIL. That moment represents heavy metal's "Big Bang", the inception of all the metal that h...
