Open Metalcast Episode #83: Highly Cototient Prime Numbers

Oct 29 2013

When looking up the number 83 on Wikipedia for the 83rd episode of Open Metalcast, I ran across some number facts. Apparently "83 is the sum of three consecutive primes (23 + 29 + 31) as well as the sum of five consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23)." It's also a highly cototient number. What does that mean? Hell if I know, but I do know this episode has some highly charged metal to detonate inside your ear canals. We've got music from Beta Decay, The Rinn, Ceremony of Darkness, Lost Lands, Obsolete Theory, new Project: Roenwolfe, The Exiled, and Uboa to help with that tinnitus problem you may be having, plus some excellent Prog Rock from elevii to close out the show. (Just think of it as math core with flutes. ;) )

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or use them for the soundtrack of your cat-on-Roomba action videos. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #82: Caught in a loop

Oct 15 2013

One of the most dangerous places for me is inside of a record store. It's like throwing a hyperactive child into a candy store: before you know it my arms are filled with new and used CDs and I'm busy trying to figure out which will make the cut. This show is no different: I thought I wasn't going to have enough material to make the show, and suddenly I had more than enough. But my problem is your gain, as we have three upcoming tracks from various albums, starting with Cryogen's latest album (available for pre-order), a single from Napalm Strike, and Peculate's on-going album based on the works of Peter Kropotkin. We follow that with four great stoner / doom masterpieces from Discos Macarras' stable of excellent artists, starting with Santo Rostro, Hera, Oyabun, and finishing with Lowshake. Closing out the show is a warning about those cute demonical creatures that may be lurking in your house at this moment by Leka. It's a show you definitely won't want to miss, and might get you taking a trip (virtual or otherwise) over to the record store. Just make sure you save enough money for cat food. Shownotes after the break:

Open Metalcast Episode #81: Shut up and shut down

Oct 01 2013

I'm not sure what shutting the US government will prove to anyone, but I hope it doesn't mean that the Internet will shut down any time soon. Otherwise how will I get you this phenomenal Creative Commons Music? Carrier Pigeon? Hopefully not, as there's a lot of music in this episode, including tracks from Amaroth, Desert Icons, The Reptillians, Bisento, Endless Heights, Etherbeer, NUTRITION, and a receont convert to the Creative Commons scene: Gabezia. But rest assured I have my carrier pigeons on stand-by just-in-case. You never know when they might come in handy.

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or shutdown the government on their behalf. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #80: Going Viral

Sep 16 2013

It was my birthday last weekend, and as part of my celebration I not only got the opportunity to watch one of my friends get married, but I also got a nice little cold to go with it. So the Open Metalcast studios are a little under the weather. But the show must go on, as it were, and the best Creative Commons metal music available is the best prescription for what might ail you. We've got a mix of great metal from Taketh, Kudai, NUTRITION, Neverside, Civil War, Patrons of the Rotting Gate, Hellcrawler, and Black Horde to infect your ears with the best the net has to offer. And much like a cold you are encouraged to share this with as many of your friends as you can. Shownotes after the break:

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or make an app for their smartphone. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #79: Labor Pains

Sep 02 2013

In my never-ending quest to put things off until the very last minute (a habit carefully honed over the mumble mumble years of my existence) I'm putting this show together mere moments before the Tuesday that it normally releases. Of course that day is Monday, which is a holiday here in the United States, so that means I'm later than usual. But I'm glad that I did, because this episode managed to catch the brand-new release from Anima Adversa's latest album. We also have new releases from Herlathing, as well as new releases from Antoniogarciavazquez, Sons Of Sin, Radler, Limitless, and Chewrafa. It's an episode you won't want to miss, especially after the post-holiday hangover you'll be nursing at work tomorrow. Shownotes follow:

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or create a national holiday dedicated to their hard-working musicianship. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #78: Sportball Surprise

Aug 19 2013

I plead complete ignorance over all matters sportball or otherwise sports-related (save for hockey season when the Detroit Red Wings are doing well that season). So seeing an EP of sportball-related songs come across my desk isn't that intriguing. But when it's a CC-licensed album of tightly crafted sportball songs that also comes across the Metal Injection desk, then I take notice. I also take notice when I see new albums from some of my favorite artists like Mountain Mirrors and Agónica. And my other dirty little secret is I wanna get more Attractive Eighties Women songs because they seem to have carjacked Mojo Nixon's tractor and gone on one hell of a joyride. Plus we have awesome tracks from Grey Heaven Fall, Dust Tria, Sunken, Nameless, and Samsara. It's like a duffel-bag of sportball things to be sportballin' with and... yeah, OK, I'm done. Shownotes after the break.

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or buy them a case of beer. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #77: Express Lane (12 items or less)

Aug 05 2013

Ever gone to the store for just one thing, and realized at the checkout lane that you have more than one thing to purchase? That's what happened with this episode. I already had most of the episode ready to go, but a quick trip to Bandcamp and Jamendo net so much more music that I decided to throw in a few more songs this episode. There's something in here for everyone, so give it a listen, and whatever you do don't look at the credit card receipt OK? Shownotes after the break.

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or make a Monopoly game with their band as the theme. Whatever you can do to help these bands keep making music, please do it!

Open Metalcast Episode #76: Shut up and mosh

Jul 23 2013

After a brief hiatus we decided to make up for it by just blasting your eardrums with non-stop metal music. In that spirit we only have four words for you: "shut up and mosh". Oh, and one more sentence, but that's it. Show notes after the break. There, that should do it.

Too long have we waited in the shadows, hoping for a change that never comes. The time to wait is over, now it is time to act.

Please support the bands in this show! Buy a T-Shirt, head to the shows, or put their music onto a USB key in a time capsule. Wait, do we even have USB keys in the future?
