The Devil's Mouth

We started these celebrations with a legend of the West Yorkshire doom scene, so how about we close them with... another legend of the West Yorkshire doom scene? Though both Aaron Stainthorpe and Greg Mackintosh hail from the same region and their main bands have often been grouped together, both have also far transcended any genre-specific musical origins with their brilliant careers an...

Colin is a dear old friend, and he  was one of the first to support The Devil's Mouth, way back in episode  #15, it was a huge boost to have an artist of his caliber on the show at  such an early stage. As we celebrate episode #100, we get a lovely  story about how the already iconic 'Silver Needle/Golden Nail' song, the  opener for Amenra's 'Mass IIII' (2008) album, got i...

We know Royal Thunder are special. We know Mlny is special. If doubts remained, go listen to episode #87, which was one of the most awesome conversations we've ever had on this show. But when we asked her to be a part of these episode #100 celebrations, we honestly didn't know what we were going to get. A reflection about a song, maybe? A cool song, because all Royal Thunder songs are cool. Maybe...

Next up on the gift that keeps on giving that is our episode #100 celebration week, Ben Hutcherson , vocalist and guitarist for the awesome Khemmis - one of the best things to have happened to metal in the last decade - who was our guest on episode #85 , a very special one, personally, as we both discovered that we are sort of transatlantic versions of each other in terms of music taste, general w...

The Devil's Mouth is celebrating its 100th episode, and for that, we went back to the people without whom, besides our dear listeners of course, we couldn't have gotten anywhere - our guests! We have reached out to a little handful of previous The Devil's Mouth alumni, and asked them to pick one of their own songs that is special to them in any way and talk about it a bit. First  up, Aaron St...

Time flies by, and 2021 already marks the tenth anniversary of one of  the most decisive albums in the history of Icelandic superstars Sólstafir . 'Svartir Sandar' was everything anyone could have wished from  the cowboys of the ice - a massive double album, moody and thick with  atmosphere, but also boasting some of the quartet's most notable songs  every, including the show-s...

The Memory Lane returns, and this  time we got together with Daron Beck to remember the very first Pinkish  Black album, almost a decade old by now. Written and recorded in a  rather dark period for the Daron Beck/Jon Teague duo, shortly after the  tragic ending of their previous band The Great Tyrant , it is a sombre  yet exhuberant collection of songs, and a solid founda...
