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...

The world needs Weird 09.03.2024

Shits weird so should be our music. Melvins and the Gentle Art of Cooking Humans get us there and then we are shot out in to space with Aawks, Kal-el Low Orbit and Acid King. then we are ready for the doom and heavy to take us out of here.

Forsaken Offerings (to Jimbo) 02.03.2024

Come along for a wild ride where Ferris' insistence on not preparing for the show humiliates and embarrasses him and his whole family. Stick around for the blistering playlist of caustic noise and sinistral expressions.

Ian's back in the hot seat, and he's kicking off this episode of Powerchord with a brand-new banger from High On Fire off their forthcoming album, Cometh The Storm.

Concupiscence of Frenzied Humo(u)rs 06.01.2024

Ferris flails around in an especially cruel manner, resulting in a terrifying radio spectacle fraught with poltergeist-induced "technical difficulty". Any supernatural anomalies experienced during playback are assuredly benign.

Divinations of Wrath 06.01.2024
