Open Metalcast Episode #164: A Little of Each

Nov 06 2017

When putting together an Open Metalcast show sometimes they take on a life of their own. While I try not to make "themed" shows some sections tend to get a bit of a theme to them. Sometimes the theme is to try not to have much of a theme at all for that section and instead throw together a lot of similar yet different musical styles together. This is one such episode where each song is slightly related to the song that preceded it. But when you have a collection of artists like Khroma, Demimonde, Locus Mortis, Gateway to Hell, Deep Space Destructors, Illuminus, GERANIÜM, and Potato Hate Explosion sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and let the music take you where it will.

Open Metalcast Episode #163: Strictly Non-Palindromic

Oct 24 2017

We got a little off-schedule from the last show but it was most certainly not because of a lack of great metal music. So much great music was released lately including brand new Hela and split between Ah Ciliz and Chiral from Hypnotic Dirge Records. This episode features tracks from Ósserp, Catalytic, Expain, Hela, Tornet, Le Mur, Ah Ciliz, and Urizen. It's a show chock full of Creative Commons Metal Music you won't want to miss!

Open Metalcast Episode #162: Infinite Possibilities

Sep 26 2017

Every time I think about the varieties of sound that are conveyed by 16 bits at 44.1KHz it boggles my imagination. So many bits, so many possibilities. One moment it can play brutal death metal, the next a brief punk song, and then smooth sludge metal. It can encompass guitars, drums, organs, voices; you name it - it can do it with incredible fidelity.

We have a great show of amazing Creative Commons metal lined up for you. We have tracks by Deadeye Dick, VULTURYON, Colorblind, Enuma Elish, Phantom Elite, Heavy Temple, Blank Spell, and the crushing Hammond Organ of Mount Atlas.

<p?so many choices, and we thank you for sharing one of your choices with us.< p>

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

Open Metalcast Episode #161: Judicious Use of Headphones

Sep 12 2017

This episode is a tribute to those little bits of plastic, metal, and silicone that help keep us sane during the day. This is also dedicated to the friends of the show that help keep it going via sending albums via the Bandcamp wishlist. Between headphones, friends, and music what more could one ask?

We've got a great show to exercise your headphones, including tracks from Dropthehammer, Photonoid, anal botox, Odradek Room, MOTOR, Dendrites, Thunderhag, Inhaling the Plague, and Neverside. Plus it's CC-licensed so you can exercise your friends headphones as well.

Open Metalcast Episode #160: Longer Brief Thoughts

Aug 29 2017

Sometimes short and sweet is the order of the day. Sometimes there's more to be said.

This episode is on the shorter-end of the spectrum but that doesn't make it any less potent. Especially with bands like humanhostbody, Crowned In Flesh, Throne of Botis, Old Man Wizard, Neptuniam, Cyborg Octopus, Wombripper, and Noble Beast pushing the limits of awesome Creative Commons metal.

Perhaps we should re-brand it as concentrated or ultra-strength?

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

We have tracks by Demimonde, Hekatombe, Seversun, Sarin, Epra Astera, Akaitsuki, Coma., and Lèpoka. Caution: Use caution while listening to this music.

Open Metalcast Episode #158: Don't let up

Jul 17 2017

Sometimes it's easier to let go. Sometimes it's easier just to put down the sword and stop fighting. Sometimes it's easier to just let the hordes run right over you. Sometimes it's easier to let them win.

It's harder to fight. It's harder to give them hell every step of the way. It's harder to fight for every scrap of land you take back, every idea you hold dear, every single fucking note in every song.

This show is dedicated to the bands and labels that keep making Creative Commons Metal music. Don't let up. Ever.

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

Open Metalcast Episode #156: Screaming into the void

There's a saying "if you stare at the void the void stares back at you". But what if you scream at the void? What if you play loud music (such as this fine episode here) at the void?

Hey, stop looking at me like that, you void you.

We've got a great episode of Creative Commons licensed metal lined up for your (and your void's) listening pleasure. This episode includes new music from Canvas Black, Sartoraaus, Stabbed, Sarin, Celacanto, Sechem, Tornado Kid, and Mavradoxa. It's a show that will have the void rocking while it stares back at you.
