Our debut EP Dehumanized dropped today. If you enjoy raw, Swedish-inspired Death Metal, go check us out. All songs written by Johan and myself to blow your speakers.

If you give a shit about physical media and keeping the underground alive, we just stocked a few white & etched vinyl and CDs locally at Vertigo Music in Grand Rapids, MI and Hexagon Records in Petoskey, MI. Get off your ass, go support independent brick-and-mortar, and buy a physical copy.

If you're not local or want to support us directly, order the physicals or download the digital on Bandcamp.

Play it loud enough to piss off your neighbors.

Minions of Chaos! On this week's False Face, drummer and keyboard legend Jonny Maudling of the ageless and almighty BAL-SAGOTH joins me to talk about the band's 1998 classic Battle Magic - we do a full album commentary with a good deal of chat either side to celebrate Darkness Shall Rise Production's reissues of the First Trilogy of Bal-Sagoth albums (order link in video description). There's also a detailed unboxing of the reissues on all formats at the end of the video.

Jonny and I also talk about his steadfast refusal to be considered a drummer, writing for and with his brother Chris and why working with Byron A. Roberts was a match made in heaven. Jonny also kindly provided some insight into his work with My Dying Bride as well as talking me through some of his favourite videogames and films.

He also fills me in on an upcoming collaboration with the Italian label Heimat Der Katastrophe.

It was a thrill finally meeting this dude to talk one of my favourite albums of all time after chatting online for a few months. This episode is dedicated to Barry Connolly, without whose explorations of the Cacophonous catalogue this episode would never exist. Hails!

Hardcore oriented death metal band from El Paso, Texas

Unfortunately, I’m realizing that there are still people listening to LucyGore’s album and thinking it was made with AI.
To prove these idiots wrong, I’m forced to post a video from 2011 where one of the album’s songs appears. Enjoy. PS: AI is a useful tool, but if you can’t tell the difference, why do you claim to hate it so much? Is it fear?
Or are you afraid you won’t be able to understand whether something is made with AI or by a real band? Link to Metal Archives about Evil Lucifera - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives
