Randy and I do a proper Ozzy Tribute. In light of the Prince of Darkness’s impact on both of our lives, we did a run down of favorite records, stories and excellent moments. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Over the Mountain – Ozzy Osbourne

Paul Aloisio of Restless Spirit joins us this week for a tribute / remembrance of Ozzy Osbourne. It’s a heavy time in not only heavy metal but in the larger popular culture. Most of us grew up listening to Ozzy and Sabbath but we sometimes take for granted his impact on the greater culture. We also get a update on new Restless Spirit material, tours and all that stuff. Apologies for the relatively poor audio quality. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Mr. Crowley” – Ozzy Osbourne

Ralph Schmidt returns this week for another Mount Rushmore episode.

Rennie and I are back with another installment of Kill or Be Killed, our exploration of crime films from the 70’s and early 80’s. With the passing of Gene Hackman, this episode is somewhat in memoriam of a great, prolific actor. THE FRENCH CONNECTION established Hackman as a force in Hollywood as well as heralding in a new wave of darkly realistic crime movies. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Black Magic Woman” – Santana

Keith Huckins of Deadguy / Kiss It Goodbye / Rorschach joins us this week. Eith has been a huge influence on me as a guitarist dating all the way back to his work with the seminal metallic hardcore band Rorschach. At that particular time, no one was doing anything like that and he continued his work with Deadguy in the mid-90’s. Fast forward over two decades and Deadguy has now deployed their new album Near Death Travel Services available from Relapse Records. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Kill Fee” – Deadguy

My brother Champ Morgan returns! Morgan is the front man of vicious grind band Triage as well as key noisemaker in BLK OPS. It was an epic, no script, stream of consciousness conversation, check it out . Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Police State” – Anti Christ Blood Scourge

Intro: “All of the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Adversary” – Vasaria

Ralph Schmidt returns this week! It was a great hang. Ralph, a deep well of good ideas, proposed this concept “The Mount Rushmore of…” which acted as a substrate for our tangents into the unknown. Intro: “All of the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Disorder” – Joy Division

This week we’re going back a few years, back to the Vault. Randy Larsen and I were doing a sub-series called Road to Ruin where we discussed records and movies that we iconic to us. Apparently, doing Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant was my idea. Abel Ferrara’s grimey, depraved exploration of a NYC detective’s descent into darkness is one of my all-time favorite movies of the 90”s. But what about Herzog’s version? Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Tokyo Express” – Die Haute feat. Nick Cave

Fellow Horseman Karl Haikara of Sol Nox joins us this week. We take a break from talking about Karl Edward Wagner and instead discuss the work that he is doing at his podcast Sol Nox, the various musical endeavors that he has on deck as well as reflections of some awesome books and movies we’ve been getting into. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Pits of Abaddon” – Anti Christ Blood Scourge

Trevor Shelley De Brauw and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec from Pelican return on the lead up to their new LP Flickering Resonance hitting the streets on May 16 on Run for Cover Records. Aside from being, long-time personal friends of mine, they are profoundly creative musicians. Pelican have been active in one form or another for better than 25 years with their early output being released on the seminal, independent extreme music label Hydrahead Records. Check them out on tour in the US in July. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Wandering Mind” – Pelican

Welcome the the flagship episode of The Black Lodge, my collaboration with Brandon Legion of Horror Wolf 666. Inspired by the passing of David Lynch, one of the greatest American filmmakers of our generation, we are going to dive deep into the Twin Peaks series. In 1990, there was nothing quite like Twin Peaks, it was groundbreaking and a harbinger of an explosion in thought-provoking television that would happen two decades later. We cover the pilot episode this week, exploring the darkness beneath the plaid small town of Twin Peaks, the fictitious town nestled in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Stay tuned for future monthly episodes on Everything Went Black and Horror Wolf 666. Intro: “Twin Peaks Theme” – Andrew Badalamenti Outro: “Falling” –Julee Cruise

Dave Berardi of Razor Eater Metal returns this week. Dave puts in work on a weekly basis bringing you news and reviews of the sickest metal records. Additionally, Dave is the man behind the ambient black metal project XEZBETH. We had a lot of fun talking about how he got into extreme music. The most interesting thing is that, despite Dave being quite a bit younger than me, our extreme music journey isn’t that much different. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Do You Love Me” – Kiss

Heath Rave returns this week. A while back he was on to discuss hid band Lotus Thrones, this time around we talk about his new project Fragile Body, his art and tattoo work as well as some reflections on creativity and the process of recording. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Anhedonia” – Fragile Body

Sam Peckinpah embodies the essence of what the Kill or Be Killed project is all about like no other filmmaker. Bleak, nihilistic and brutal, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is a relentless journey through the dark landscapes of Mexico following the grisly journey of a desperate man expertly portrayed by Warren Oates. From top to bottom excellent performances are logged in by Oates, Isela Vega, Robert Weber and Kris Kristofferson. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Adelita” – Jerry Fielding

Bobby Ferry of 16 returns to us this week after wrapping up their most recent European tour. 16 has been active since 1992, first having surfaced in the West Coast powerviolence / punk scene with releases on Pushead’s Bacteria Sour, Pessimiser and Theologian until finding a home at Relapse in 2009 with the LP Bridges to Burn.
