Open Metalcast Episode #173: Combined Forces

Apr 30 2018

Here at The Open Metalcast Headquarters we usually make an entire episode in one night. We'll toil over Audacity tweaking and adjusting until the perfect episode is ready for you to listen to. But sometimes we won't be able to finish the episode all at once and we'll leave it on the hard drive waiting to be unleashed. This was such an instance where we'd started the episode and then forgot that we had already uncorked the metal rocket-sauce before. But lest you think that we're somehow giving you stale metal, or twice-unblessed metal please rest assured that we ensure that all of the metal is vacuum-packed using only the finest artisinal magnetic media. And who wouldn't want to hear our fine selection of music from Tinnitia, Terrestrial Chaos, cranial incisored, Chivo, SUNNATA, No Hand Path, Kartzarot, and Ark Of Passage? It just goes to show that we will not rest until we bring you the best if Creative Commons Metal Music. Unless we do rest. Then we put it away until we can continue again.

Open Metalcast Episode #169: Strategic Metal Heist

Feb 20 2018

Recently we at the Open Metalcast headquarters watched an episode of "Dirty Money" where they talked about the heist of the Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve in Canada. Barrels of syrup were removed and in their place were placed barrels of water. And they would have gotten away with it too had the barrels not started to rust and shown signs of being handled more roughly than normal syrup barrels. What does that have to do with metal music? Ummm. Well, we went into our Strategic Creative Commons Metal Music Supply to bring you out the finest in Creative Commons metal music. And what we found wasn't barrels of water but barrels of great music by Forgenheim, Abhorrent Castigation, Spiritual Deception, (EchO), Moron, BlackStar, and Iron Kobra. Once we found tracks from these bands we loaded them into this here podcast and shipped them off to your podcatcher of choice, where you can listen to them on-demand. And since you're listening to these metal music bits you can be secure in knowing that we've pretty much used up this metaphor and hope you enjoy the music.

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

Open Metalcast Episode #165: Analog Hole

Nov 22 2017

Over the lifespan of digital music there has been a constant desire to control the copying of the data. Various watermarking and copy-protection schemes were put in place to ensure that folks wouldn't share music. But no matter how protected the data there was always a weak link between the digital realm and the realm where you could listen to music. That was referred to as the analog hole; the moment when the digital signals become sound waves that your ears and brain perceive as music.

Luckily for us in the Creative Commons realm we can still share digital copies of our favorite music. We don't have to worry about exploiting the analog hole; it's just another part in the enjoyment of our music.

We've got a great collection of Creative Commons Licensed metal music lined up for you in this episode. We have music from Plague Mass, Imminent Attack, Mosh, Norilsk, Mindslaved, Desdinova, Machete, and Snake Thursday. It's a show you'll be happy didn't stay locked in the digital realm forever.

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