Arzachel · Arzachel

16:45
Drowned My Life in Fear - Remastered
Leaf Hound · Growers of Mushroom (Remastered)
† Liner note
Leaf Hound's Growers of Mushroom (1971) is a cult of British heavy blues, its original pressings among the most prized artifacts in all of proto-metal.
16:48
Corn Rigs
Paul Giovanni · The Wicker Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
† Liner note
From Paul Giovanni's score for The Wicker Man (1973), the foundational text of British folk horror; its bright pastoral folk is the sound of a trap closing.

Diabolical Masquerade · Ravendusk In My Heart

Cathedral · Forest Of Equilibrium

Ebony Tears
Cathedral · Forest Of Equilibrium
† Liner note
From Forest of Equilibrium (1991), doom at its most funereal and slow, made by Lee Dorrian in the years just after he left Napalm Death.
20:07
Add Reality
Dan Swanö · Moontower
† Liner note
The same Dan Swanö who fronted Edge of Sanity earlier in the day, here alone on his 1998 solo record Moontower, quietly bookending the afternoon.
