Ever have one of those moments when you don't know when to jump into a conversation? Where the time to speak doesn't happen for a while? That's what happened with this episode. Normally I jump in after the first few tracks but it didn't seem right. And really, where would you interrupt such a great line-up of music from Dantalion, Feral, Abriosis, Totem Skin, Anopheli, and Sedulity? I don't know the answer to that, but I do know this show is ready and waiting for your podcatching software of choice to download. Just make sure to leave yourself plenty of time to listen all the way through. You'd really hate to interrupt this set of amazing Creative Commons Metal Music.

But we're going out with style, with brand new music from Dejadeath, Agónica, and Minenwerfer. We also have tracks from Ishmael, Silent Path, Last Dive, Dehumanizing Process, and an ear-worm from Martes Mártir. And while we bid a farewell to 2016 we'll be back first-thing in the new year with more Creative Commons Metal Music to blast your ear-holes into the new year.

If you're even remotely aware of a country called the United States of America you'll no-doubt know that November 8th is our election day. We've had a barrage of campaign calls from celebrities who likely would never call me otherwise (Seriously, lose my phone number). We've also had non-stop election coverage in every medium known to man (I think they're even using the Rosetta stone to craft messages for any voters who might only read hieroglyphs). Whatever your political stripe, denomination, or leaning: please vote if you can.

Regardless, here's 49 minutes of the best Creative Commons Licensed Music as a (temporary) respite from the United States of America's political machinations.

V.O.T.E.: Very Over This Election.
