On this episode, I talk horror with the great Aaron Turner of Sumac, Isis the band, Old Man Gloom, and my favorite band, Neurosis. 

So I've been really enjoying the new Sleep stuff, and thought it really surprising when I went to Reddit to find that I seemed to be the only one.

I've got Sciences on right now and for sure, I love Pikes riffs, and I'll probably blast No Hounour right after this, but I was excited to hear the next version of what Sleep was going to be. Sciences was different than Dopesmoker. Dopesmoker was different than Holy Mountain.

Just as much of the change is due to Crover and I don't see much argument that he's a fantastic drummer. I think too much of this change has been thrown unnecessarily on Bubba not sounding like Iommi.

Tldr; Sleep will always be dope. Sometimes change can be okay.

Excellent session from when Monolord was in Seattle a few months back.

What does everyone think of the new Moonbather track? I’m stoked on it, just saw them at a local metal festival and was blown away. Heavy as Fuck.

Descent is the first installment in a two-album journey through Inferno, inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Beginning at the Gates of Hell, the album leads listeners through the first five circles of Hell, culminating in the crossing of the River Styx on the journey to the City of Dis.
