Terminus Episode 134 - Paimon Gate, Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom, Nithing

Terminus Episode 134 - Paimon Gate, Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom, Nithing

WE HAVE ARRIVED. Terminus is back from a lingering summer break with even more white-knuckle, pulse-pounding aktion as TDMG and TBMG once again plumb the depths of the underground, emerging with hands full of cursed jewels from the mines below. This time, it's a 2020 episode: weird records straight from the collective bowels of the metal scene, but all of them profoundly excellent in their own rights. And what would the return from break be without TDMG presenting more unlistenable brutal death? This time, it's courtesy of Nithing, whose debut full length scars the ear drums with channel-switching noise rock riffs and an attacking, undulating drum performance.

Our first full review hails the return of Paimon Gate, whose 2022 demo was highly lauded by both hosts. The full length followup is no sophomore slump, instead elevating Paimon Gate's already ferocious and rigorous presentation with further structural complexity and new, distinct riffing styles. TDMG really schizes out on this one, drawing comparisons to the eastern mysticism of the silent horror film era while announcing that The Riff Was Sick repeatedly. His enthusiasm, though, is not misplaced- Paimon Gate's opening salvo is a triumph within its beloved style of primitive US black/death.

The other side of the coin is abruptly flipped by TBMG, who presents Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom, a distinctly English band whose wide-reaching but naturalistic blend of doom, crust, black metal, and hard rock has the power to win over just about anyone. Bretwaldas play with the countours of time in genre, abutting 70s psych rock with Gravelandian warmongering with none of the sense of frivolity that such a description suggests. Without restraint but similarly without compromise, Bretwaldas weave together the seemingly disparate into a resolute and stoic whole.

Terminus Episode 150 - Rostorchester, Ad Mortem

Terminus Episode 150 - Rostorchester, Ad Mortem

On today's installment of Terminus we get two dramatically different sides of Teutonic black metal, both of unquestionable interest to all burly, woodcutting Terminators. First: the return of Rostorchester, whose brand of heavily emo and punk-infused black metal achieves its full potential- mostly by becoming primarily an emo band!* Next: the debut full length of Ad Mortem, who follow closely in the footsteps of friends Totenwache in refreshing the Sargeist style with a steelier and more stoic German countenance- when they're not partying, of course. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:04:10 - Rostorchester - Der Zinnen Sang vom Niedergang (BergStolz) 0:53:43 - Interlude - A Pregnant Light - “Babychain,” fr. Broken Play (Colloquial Sound Recordings, 2019) 0:59:39 - Ad Mortem - In Honorem Mortis (Purity Through Fire) 1:37:59 - Outro - Mavorim - “Krieger, Voran!,” fr. the Verbrannte Erde split w/ Totenwache (Independent, 2018) *CORRECTION: At the start of the Rostorchester review, we refer to a Youtube comment by Antimessiah. This was actually a fake account! See the thread on the Rites of Pestilence upload, where the real Antimessiah drops in to set the record straight.

Terminus Episode 149 - Mutiilation, Brodequin, Coffins

Terminus Episode 149 - Mutiilation, Brodequin, Coffins

On today's installment of the world's only extreme metal podcast, we come with three triumphant returns by three favorites of the show- this is one for the record books, folks, with one of the strongest lineups of records in a single episode we've ever featured. First up: the shocking return of Mutiilation, whose 17 year absence seemingly never occurred as Meyna'ch presents six tracks of caustic and necro French black metal in a style nearly forgotten.* Next up: another massive comeback by Brodequin, whose custom brand of blast-oriented brutal death is expanded upon with clearer production and a more pronounced sense of melody. Rounding things out: Coffins returns with more Coffins. No further explanation is required. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:54 - Mutiilation - Black Metal Cult (Osmose Productions) 1:04:31 - Interlude - Hell Militia - “Born Without Light” fr. Last Station on the Road to Death (Debemur Morti Productions, 2010) 1:10:22 - Brodequin - Harbinger of Woe (Season of Mist Underground Activists) 1:56:25 - Interlude - Cinerary - “Undying” fr. Rituals of Desecration (Deepsend Records, 2001) 1:59:48 - Coffins - Sinister Oath (Relapse Records) 2:48:28 - Outro - Grudge - “Altar of Asphalt,” fr. D.D.D.H. - Doomed to Death, Damned in Hell split w/ Coffins and Anatomia (Grindmind Records, 2007) *CORRECTION: When discussing Mutiilation's weird choice of cover art, TBMG misattributes the Baphomet statue to the Church of Satan (Anton LaVey). He meant to say "The Satanic Temple," a social justice NGO that's only been around for about a decade.

Terminus Episode 148 - Anahata, Syndexioi, Uppstigning

Terminus Episode 148 - Anahata, Syndexioi, Uppstigning

After an impromptu spring break (caused by technical issues, sorry guys), Terminus is back with an alumni-focused episode for the dedicated fans. After a mini-review by TBMG on noble dungeon synth barbarian Uppstigning, we revisit two bands near and dear to the show's cold, black heart. First: the return of Anahata, whose burly, powerlifting heavy/power metal has been infused with a tremendous dose of prog and a massively increased structural scope. Next: Syndexioi, who emerge slightly from the caverns with a sound louder, larger, and much more immediate than their first. Listening recommendation for this episode: clench your fist out in front of you at roughly eye level and roar. 0:00:00 - Intro/Uppstigning - Rite of Passage (Independent) 0:18:44 - Anahata - Syncretic Sovereignty (Independent)* 1:12:37 - Interlude - 3 Inches of Blood - “Axes of Evil” fr. Advance and Vanquish (Roadrunner Records, 2004) 1:17:06 - Syndexioi - Devouring Slumber (Independent) 2:00:18 - Outro - Elffor - “Infernal Woods” fr. Son of the Shades (Northern Silence Productions, 2008) *CORRECTION: Anahata's drums were NOT programmed. **FUN FACT: Uppstigning also contributed the synth intro / outro on the Anahata record.

Terminus Episode 147 - They Came From Visions, Convulsing

Terminus Episode 147 - They Came From Visions, Convulsing

In this 2020-style installment of Terminus, we check in on two bands with unique methods of incorporating various post- materials into extreme metal. First: the return of They Came From Visions, who we covered in 2020, back with a much matured sophomore recording which takes traditional, folkish Slavblack and laces it with biting, anxious dissonance. Speaking of dissonance: the new record by Convulsing, a favorite of The Death Metal Guy, whose direct and forceful style of dissodeath belies a prog metal heart and a brutish OSDM sense of rage. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:05:09 - They Came From Visions - The Twilight Robes (Eisenwald) 0:48:22 - Akercocke - “A Skin for Dancing In,” fr. The Goat of Mendes (Peaceville, 2001) 0:55:40 - Convulsing - Perdurance (Independent) 1:39:30 - Haunter - “Shrouded Moor” fr.

Terminus Episode 146 - Drowned, Unaussprechlichen Kulten

Terminus Episode 146 - Drowned, Unaussprechlichen Kulten

It's been a black year for Terminus so far- at least in terms of its metal. Why not switch things up a bit before we turn irrevocably to corpsepainted autists? On today's episode, your hosts explore two records of elitist, oldschool-minded death metal in radically different idioms. First: Drowned, who combine Tampa and Swedish styles into something resolutely minimal and traditional yet shockingly abstract. Second: Unaussprechlichen Kulten, who tap into the earliest strains of melodic death metal and lace it with explosive and dense guitar arrangements which suggest a debt to the prog rock of old. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:06 - Drowned - Procul His (Sepulchral Voice Records) 0:44:27 - Interlude - Darkthrone - “As Desertshadows” fr. Goatlord (Moonfog Productions, 1996) 0:49:07 - Unaussprechlichen Kulten - Häxan Sabaoth (Iron Bonehead) 1:35:37 - Outro - Totten Korps - “Hastur’s Voice Echoes in Our Minds” fr.

Terminus Episode 145 - Hauntologist, Departure Chandelier, Vemod

Terminus Episode 145 - Hauntologist, Departure Chandelier, Vemod

"Hipster black metal"- a term that inspires tremendous derision, even within the halls of this very podcast. But what if we were to confront the phenomena head-on and truly evaluate its potential? Today we have a triumvirate of records that could all be labelled as "hipster BM" in some sense, but with radically different takes. Hauntologist, a fresh spinoff of Mgla, plays heavily in the realm of goth and post-punk. Departure Chandelier returns from a long absence with something heavier, more primitive, and Bathorian, eschewing much of its melodic past. And returning from even longer: Vemod rises from the grave, reinterpreting grandiose post-rock song structures with the raw power of early Enslaved. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:53 - Hauntologist - Hollow (No Solace) 0:42:37 - Departure Chandelier - Satan Soldier of Fortune (Nuclear War Now) 1:11:36 - Interlude - Dzlarv - “Untitled 2” fr. 1996 Demo (Independent, 1996) 1:17:04 - Vemod - The Deepening (Prophecy Productions) 2:06:37 - Outro - Sólstafir - “Pale Rider,” fr.

Terminus Interview - Yosuke Konishi (Nuclear War Now!)

Terminus Interview - Yosuke Konishi (Nuclear War Now!)

In the fractured and diffuse world of extreme metal circa 2024, very few people could be considered a "pillar" of the scene- but one among those is Yosuke Konishi of stalwart label Nuclear War Now! In this interview, your hosts enjoy a leisurely chat with the proprietor of the label, Never Surrender fest, and his newest venture: Helios Press, which seeks to bring vinyl production back stateside in what may be the most ambitious and challenging move yet in an already impressive career. WE WON'T STOP UNTIL WE'RE DEAD! 0:00:00 - Interview 1:06:55 - Blasphemy - "Weltering in Blood" fr. Live Ritual: Friday the 13th (Nuclear War Now, 2001) Terminus links: Terminus on Youtube Terminus on Patreon Terminus on Instagram Terminus on Facebook thetrueterminus@gmail.com
