Close to the Presence of (Radio) Suffering 30.03.2024

Ferris back in the studio, somewhat less fucking up than usual. Exploiting the hard work of local musicians takes up 3/4 of the show, showcasing a genre diversity not ordinarily heard on the program (read: not exclusively deathmetal). Includes a fruit-filled section on new and up-coming local acts. Highlights on The Invisible Orange 15th anniversary gigs, and some other shit you need to know. Ther...

Forsaken Offerings (to Jimbo) 02.03.2024
