Open Metalcast Episode #192: Shuffle's Dozen

Apr 22 2019

A dozen tracks, picked mostly at random by the caretaker of the Open Metalcast Library. The only criteria was they couldn't have been played in a previous epsiode. We have tracks from Demimonde, Wasting The Genesis, Traboute, TOAD, offense, CEMENTERIO, Vatican Falling, Pain Factor, Grimoff, Dantalion, Concrete Foundation, Beastmaker, and Tyson Boogie waiting for you.

Open Metalcast Episode #191: Odious Ouroboros

Apr 14 2019

It's in the middle of April, just before tax time in the United States. The weather doesn't want to cooperate here at Open Metalcast headquarters, moving from sunshine and warmer temperatures to wintery-mix and chilly temperatures. But what you can rely on is some amazing Creative Commons metal music to help make life more bearable. And as Peculate to accurately points out: "April is the cruelest month". Indeed.

We have an amazing assortment of metal music in this episode, featuring music from Spiritual Deception, Cyranoi, SLAVE ZERO, Lamorte, Gmork, Drone Throne, Arkham Witch, and Peculate. It's an audible assault you won't want to miss.

Open Metalcast Episode #190: Focus

Mar 24 2019

Putting together an episode of Open Metalcast can sometimes be a challenge in focus for me. Sometimes I get distracted by the music that I'm looking for (woe be the rabbit holes that occur when I'm looking for the perfect tracks). Other times I can get distracted when I'm waiting for something to finish downloading or for an episode to finish encoding. It can get frustrating having all of those distractions competing for my attention. But when a show comes together and I'm previewing the tracks it can really energize me to completet he episode. And when you have bands like OVERRULED, EntröpiaH, Richard III, DANTALION, Discommand, Gods & Punks, Lojohh, and Kekal filling your ears you suddenly get laser focused on ensuring that folks like yourself can hear this episode as soon as possible. So sit back with your favorite podcast listening apparatus and give the music the focus it deserves.

Open Metalcast Episode #189: Unoctennium

Mar 07 2019

The atomic number 189 denotes a hypothetical eka-superactinide called "Unoctennium", which sounds very similar to the fictional material called "Unobtanium". Unoctennium has not been observed in the wild yet, but should it exist it's already been named. What does this have to do with metal music? Not a damn thing, save for I'm writing up show notes for episode 189 and that was the most interesting thing that happened with the number 189 (other than some emperors and a pope dying) so this is tangentially related to metal. Plus it's kinda cool to think about metals that we think might exist but don't yet. Who knows, maybe we'll observe it in our lifetime. But what we can observe are tangible artifacts of amazing Creative Commons Metal Music. We have tracks from Dead Empires, Chaos in Paradise, Under Vultures, Zeugen der Leere, Eave, TRAIDOR, VSTRS, and Beastmaker to give your ear drums the Creative Commons metal music punishing they deserve. And you won't have to wait for science to catch up in order to discover these in the wild. Just give them a listen. Even better: check out the albums that these tracks come from and capture them in your own private archive. Do it for yourself, for the bands who make the music... hell, do it for science.

Open Metalcast Episode #187: Tidy Metal

Jan 18 2019

If seems the Marie Kondo bug has hit the Open Metalcast studios. We took all of the tracks in the Open Metalcast Archives and saw which ones still sparked joy. Or rather, which ones could stop vibrating long enough to put into the episode. We have some great Creative Commons-Licensed Metal for you, including tracks from Grey Heaven Fall, Violblast, Kekal, Amiensus & Oak Pantheon, Black Market Serotonin, 114 Kassandra, Sound of Ground, Katu Veo, and Seajeff. These tracks are ready to vibrate into your ear drums, and if you like them be sure to pass them along to a friend. They would be most grateful if you did.

Open Metalcast Episode #186: New Beginnings

Jan 01 2019

Things have been rather erratic here at the Open Metalcast Headquarters. We've been rather lax in releasing the metal to you in a timely fashion. One could blame the holidays, but part of it was I was getting behind myself in a lot of things. But my hope in the coming year is that we'll have more metal to share with you and that metal will be prompt and piping hot when delivered directly to your earbuds. Kind of like pizza delivery, but without that awkward moment when you're tipping the driver. We have a great selection of metal from Grott, Mind Holocaust, NEPHRIDIUM, Morgana vs Morgana, Mirloblanco, Harbinger of Storms, Luca Deriu, and Robot(A) to tantalize your tastebuds.

Here's to a new year and many more moments of Creative Commons Metal Music.

Open Metalcast Instrumetalcast #012: Last Minutes

As the last minutes of 2018 pass into history (or have already passed into history, depending on your location) I'm going to ensure that at least one Instrumetalcast episode releases this year (grin. Hope you enjoy!

Open Metalcast Episode #185: Wending Ways

Nov 26 2018

This episode was going to be completely different. I'd selected a few tracks here and there, but upon hearing the latest Oak Pantheon / Amiensus split the show pretty much demanded a different course. What came together for the show surprised me and I hope it surprises you too. Never let it be said that sometimes things have a way of their own and the best we can do is get out of the way and let them take their final form.

We have a great selection of music from Oak Pantheon, NONE, Blank Faces, Kosmogyr, The Loom of Time, and Kraken to bring your ears along for the ride.

Open Metalcast Episode #184: Desktop Cat

Oct 22 2018

Part of the fun in recording a podcast is trying to get everything done in one take without making mistakes. Sometimes that just happens, where I start to say a name of a band and then sound like I have marbles in my mouth. Other times there will be "technical difficulties" like having a cat decide that she needs to be up on the desk at the same time. But we never let these issues stand between you and the amazing Creative Commons Metal Music that awaits your ears. We have music from Hedphelym, EntröpiaH, Six is the God's Number, COMMUNION, Gmork, Recuerda Que Puedes Morir, Insidious Process, and Skankshot. Now if you'll excuse me there's a cat that is not letting me get these show notes typed up. I mean, it's only been an hour since she was last fed, and yet she's recording vocal parts for an amazing metal album. Roaaaawr indeed.
