May 08 2017

Here at the Open Metalcast headquarters we keep our ear to the ground of the metal world to hear the double-bass-drum rumblings within. So when we heard news that there was a release by Necrosexual we were intrigued. When we found out was also Creative Commons Licensed material we knew we had to have it on the show. When we also found that the latest release by the magnificent Eruption was also CC-licensed we could hardly contain our enthusiasm. Add to that the release of Skinlepsy's full album, AutotheisM, Gustav Eisen, F41.0, Noituma, and oblivion and you'll wonder how we can still stand upright after the onslaught of amazing metal. But stand we shall, and we shall deliver you the finest in Creative Commons Metal Music with this latest episode.

Welcome to the 150th episode of Open Metalcast, where we've been exploring the world of Creative Commons Metal Music for lo these many episodes.

Open Metalcast Episode #149: Chaotic Neutral

Feb 27 2017

Welcome friends to the 149th episode of the podcast we humbly call "Open Metalcast". In this chapter our hero discovers that the old man in the tavern was indeed a sorcerer who sent him in search of the best in Creative Commons Music. He scoured the internet and discovered eight new tracks, which he stuffed into his knapsack and dragged back into town. Feast your eyes upon such treasures by the likes of Human Ashtray, Maleek, BloodeviL, Tinnitia, Sunvoid, Lacrima, Death of a Poet, and Isyocel. It's a 42 minute journey that only requires your headphones, your podcatcher of choice, and a place to listen to it. Chips and beverages optional.

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

Open Metalcast Episode #148: Dunbar's Number

Feb 13 2017

According to Wikipedia (who is never wrong) Dunbar's Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. Dunbar put that number at 148, which is usually rounded to 150. Whether that's true or not is not ours to debate here, for our purpose is to provide you with the finest Creative Commons Metal the Internet has to offer. And we have nine bands we love in this episode, including Skinlepsy, a return of Narada, Mycelia, the latest from AATHMA and Santo Rostro, Talsur, Aethyr, netra, and a dip into the archives with Goat Father. So while you may only be able to have meaningful relationships with 148ish people you can still relate to 58 minutes of the best Creative Commons-licensed metal. Just remember to write every now and again.

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

Open Metalcast Episode #147: Salt the Earth

Jan 30 2017

It's mid-wintertime here at Open Metalcast Headquarters. Part of the fun of winter is the snow that inevitably shows up during this time. One of the ways to counteract the snow in this climate is to put down prodigious amounts of salt on the roads. The salt is pretty corrosive and gets everywhere. So, what does this have to do with Creative Commons-licensed metal music? Consider this show an assault in the making that will scatter metal music in your ears (See what I did there?)

We have a great line-up of music from Cirrhose Atak, Technickill, Brokenhead, Vera, Thesauros, Space Unicorn On Fire, and Vihmana. We also have a sneak-preview of a massive 45 minute black metal opus from Obitus, which is available for pre-order from Hypnotic Dirge Records.

It's a show you won't want to take with a grain of salt. Or miss for that matter.

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