Days on this theme [ 29 DAYS ]
Tuesday Oct 06 · 2026 [ 12 TRACKS ] · 23:45 – 01:51 Five of the last six days have not begun until near eleven at night, Tuesday among them, and the record has become a nocturnal one. Thursday Oct 01 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 22:56 – 00:03 An hour before midnight and nothing else, and it plays like a reading list. Wednesday Sep 30 · 2026 [ 47 TRACKS ] · 10:03 – 23:18 The morning is the most political music on the record, and every song in it has an address. Monday Sep 28 · 2026 [ 13 TRACKS ] · 22:14 – 23:07 A short Monday night, and for once it ends in something like fun. Saturday Sep 19 · 2026 [ 54 TRACKS ] · 09:11 – 21:09 The widest day in weeks, and it reads like the family tree of heavy music seen from both ends. Friday Sep 18 · 2026 [ 59 TRACKS ] · 09:48 – 00:02 A Friday that runs the whole fortnight's two habits back to back. Monday Sep 14 · 2026 [ 66 TRACKS ] · 17:33 – 23:46 Sunday's crust hour was not a one-off; on Monday it floods. Sunday Sep 13 · 2026 [ 20 TRACKS ] · 21:41 – 23:02 A short, single-minded Sunday, and after two evenings poured into one band's whole catalogue, this one narrows the other way. Friday Sep 11 · 2026 [ 30 TRACKS ] · 09:37 – 01:23 A Friday that starts heavy and unfocused and then finds one band and does not leave it. Saturday Sep 05 · 2026 [ 105 TRACKS ] · 12:35 – 01:27 A Saturday that looks at death from every angle the catalogue can give it. Friday Sep 04 · 2026 [ 42 TRACKS ] · 15:20 – 01:02 Two men share this Friday, and they want opposite things. Tuesday Sep 01 · 2026 [ 93 TRACKS ] · 09:45 – 23:27 Ninety-three tracks, and the number is a decoy: the day is really about one album played twice in a row. Saturday Aug 29 · 2026 [ 18 TRACKS ] · 04:35 – 22:08 The real event is a new record, and it takes him most of a day to reach it. Monday Aug 24 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 10:01 – 22:54 Monday is death metal twice over, once as a question and once as a fist. Friday Aug 14 · 2026 [ 19 TRACKS ] · 14:23 – 23:34 Friday belongs almost entirely to Morbid Angel. Thursday Aug 13 · 2026 [ 55 TRACKS ] · 13:36 – 00:29 Thursday is a death metal day, and very nearly nothing else, fifty-five tracks that walk the genre across its whole lifespan. Friday Aug 07 · 2026 [ 61 TRACKS ] · 10:30 – 22:24 A Friday that starts in mourning and takes the long way down to calm. Monday Aug 03 · 2026 [ 22 TRACKS ] · 22:09 – 23:20 Barely an hour after ten at night, and every minute of it is crust. Saturday Aug 01 · 2026 [ 98 TRACKS ] · 13:35 – 19:59 Ninety-eight tracks, nine bands, and very nearly one man. Friday Jul 31 · 2026 [ 111 TRACKS ] · 11:25 – 01:06 The record has been a metal record for a month; today it defects to punk, and to almost nothing else. Saturday Jul 25 · 2026 [ 99 TRACKS ] · 11:07 – 01:28 A Saturday that travels a long way, from the barricades to the stars. Friday Jul 24 · 2026 [ 99 TRACKS ] · 11:25 – 03:12 A Friday handed over, almost end to end, to complete albums, one after another from the afternoon into the small hours. Tuesday Jul 21 · 2026 [ 30 TRACKS ] · 09:29 – 20:41 It starts with a single Watain track at half past nine in the morning, like a warning shot, and then goes quiet for five hours. Monday Jul 20 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 21:12 – 21:59 After a weekend excavating black metal down to its Swedish roots, this lands like a bucket of cold water: forty-seven minutes, fourteen songs, almost none of them past three minutes. Friday Jul 17 · 2026 [ 29 TRACKS ] · 18:13 – 23:03 Last night was two dozen bands, one track apiece. Thursday Jul 16 · 2026 [ 30 TRACKS ] · 17:55 – 19:47 A short Thursday evening spent almost entirely inside death metal, and treated as a survey rather than a sitting: some twenty-four bands in eighty minutes, one track apiece, a deliberate core-sample of the genre rather than a wallow in any one record. Thursday Jul 09 · 2026 [ 109 TRACKS ] · 12:10 – 23:20 A Thursday given entirely to fury, and to tracing where fury comes from. Tuesday Jul 07 · 2026 [ 122 TRACKS ] · 10:05 – 19:55 A Tuesday that begins reaching for people. Monday Jul 06 · 2026 [ 149 TRACKS ] · 09:35 – 00:47 A Monday given over entirely to extremity, filed as a fourteen-hour survey of the harshest music the catalogue holds.
