InObscuria Podcast

This week get your nerd on with us as we are raiding the Prog Rock crypt again. However, this will be a much different journey into the world of progressiveness, as we are covering Neo-Prog from the early to mid-1980s. A much different time for progressive rock, as these bands were influenced by more than just Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson. These groups were injecting heavy doses of hard rock, ne...

Listener Beware: You are about to enter the mind of a co-host of this show. Some know him as the enigmatic, flame-throwing, jack of all trades: Robert Harrison. This year he has earned the title of “Captain Content”, and thus you will be thrust into the mind of a… Let’s just say it will titillate some and completely confuse others. This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth… unt...

This week is all about bands playing other bands' songs… classic songs that perhaps radio has exhausted… Whether they are playing it straight note-for-note, or whether they are re-interpreting it; bands love to pay tribute to great songs that they love! In this episode, we showcase the diversity of how a band can take a classic rock hit that you’ve heard a million times and heavy it up. What’s thi...

This week we present another installment of our ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”.

This is a Viking band straight from the deserts of Sweden... or something like that. We’re talking about the most awesomely fuzzy band in...

This week we continue the discussion that we started at the end of our last show; with our admiration of the almighty power of the guitar and the guitar hero! This time around we are going to play guitarists, or guitar passages or leads in songs that caught our ears at some point in our lives that made us truly stop and listen. It’s not always about the training, finesse, dexterity, or speed a pla...

It’s 2024 and your humble hosts have been persuaded by the good podcasting people to keep on truckin’. Therefore, we bring you an episode full of bands devoted to naming themselves after the almighty diesel guzzlin’, 600 horsepower pullin’, multi-axle haulin’ hell on wheels known as trucks! This episode is, obviously, brought to you by our resident gearhead: Mr. Robert Harrison. New to InObscuria?...

In observance of the retail event of the year that is Black Friday, InObscuria took it upon ourselves to have way too much Wild Turkey the day before and thus completely blackout… We’ve invited our friend and co-host of the Decibel Geek Podcast: Mr. Chris Czynszak on to help us put the pieces together in an in-depth discussion of the blackout era of Alice Cooper’s career.

This week is another episode all about bands playing other bands' songs… well one band in particular this time around. For those about to rock: we are paying tribute to the one and only; AC/DC!

It may have taken a few years off his life, but at least we got th...
