Days on this theme [ 27 DAYS ]
Thursday Aug 20 · 2026 [ 83 TRACKS ] · 07:43 – 22:57 Thursday is three days in one, and the first is all Dissection. Wednesday Aug 19 · 2026 [ 41 TRACKS ] · 10:24 – 00:32 Wednesday goes from the gothic to the frozen. Tuesday Aug 18 · 2026 [ 40 TRACKS ] · 09:34 – 23:50 Tuesday makes it a third Opeth day in four, and this time it goes all the way in. Monday Aug 17 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 21:49 – 23:13 After a silent Sunday, Monday is nothing but Opeth. Saturday Aug 15 · 2026 [ 51 TRACKS ] · 15:32 – 00:40 Saturday is built as a long ascent from the ugliest music toward the most beautiful, and every step of it is thinking metal. 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. Thursday Aug 06 · 2026 [ 48 TRACKS ] · 14:28 – 23:20 Thursday runs the whole history of heavy metal backwards and forwards in a single afternoon. Tuesday Aug 04 · 2026 [ 51 TRACKS ] · 11:06 – 23:50 Tuesday opens scattered and mean, a dozen tracks of extreme hardcore thrown down almost at random: Nails and ACxDC at powerviolence speed, the blackened thrash of Toxic Holocaust and Demiser, Anti Cimex and Driller Killer carrying over from last night's crust. Sunday Aug 02 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 22:15 – 23:20 After a week that ran to three and four hundred tracks, Sunday is barely an hour: ten songs, nine bands, one or two apiece, and every one of them a foundation stone. Saturday Aug 01 · 2026 [ 98 TRACKS ] · 13:35 – 19:59 Ninety-eight tracks, nine bands, and very nearly one man. Thursday Jul 30 · 2026 [ 67 TRACKS ] · 13:40 – 00:28 A long, omnivorous Thursday that seems determined to touch every register the record owns. Tuesday Jul 28 · 2026 [ 45 TRACKS ] · 10:30 – 23:54 A Tuesday built almost entirely from slowness and sorrow. Monday Jul 27 · 2026 [ 35 TRACKS ] · 11:31 – 23:50 Most of a Monday afternoon belongs to Death, the band, and to Chuck Schuldiner's slow transformation of a gore genre into a thinking one. 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. Wednesday Jul 22 · 2026 [ 12 TRACKS ] · 18:51 – 21:30 After yesterday's trip to the bottom, tonight he just puts things on. Sunday Jul 19 · 2026 [ 28 TRACKS ] · 19:49 – 22:02 Yesterday was one disciple. Saturday Jul 18 · 2026 [ 7 TRACKS ] · 20:30 – 22:54 Seven songs, one band, no one else invited. 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. Tuesday Jul 14 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 17:34 – 19:44 A short Tuesday evening, barely two hours, but built as a clean descent from the cosmos into the crypt. Monday Jul 13 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 21:08 – 23:47 A Monday the man gives, almost in its entirety, to a single band. Thursday Jul 09 · 2026 [ 109 TRACKS ] · 12:10 – 23:20 A Thursday given entirely to fury, and to tracing where fury comes from. Wednesday Jul 08 · 2026 [ 107 TRACKS ] · 10:22 – 23:48 A Wednesday spent as a musicologist rather than a listener, tracing by ear the hidden line that runs from extreme metal back through the whole progressive tradition. 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. Sunday Jul 05 · 2026 [ 50 TRACKS ] · 15:05 – 23:12 A Sunday built as a controlled descent, from the cool detachment of post-punk down into the most extreme and occult metal the catalogue holds. Saturday Jul 04 · 2026 [ 50 TRACKS ] · 15:47 – 22:10 A Saturday that reads, start to finish, as one long meditation on death and the occult, approached from every angle a record collection allows.
