Days on this theme [ 18 DAYS ]
Wednesday Aug 19 · 2026 [ 41 TRACKS ] · 10:24 – 00:32 Wednesday goes from the gothic to the frozen. 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. Wednesday Aug 12 · 2026 [ 7 TRACKS ] · 22:01 – 23:12 Wednesday is another single late hour, and it goes cold. 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. Wednesday Aug 05 · 2026 [ 34 TRACKS ] · 06:00 – 00:55 It begins with one Cathedral track at six in the morning, the last drop of yesterday's day-long binge, and then the man goes looking for where all of it came from. 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. 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. Sunday Jul 19 · 2026 [ 28 TRACKS ] · 19:49 – 22:02 Yesterday was one disciple. Friday Jul 17 · 2026 [ 29 TRACKS ] · 18:13 – 23:03 Last night was two dozen bands, one track apiece. Wednesday Jul 15 · 2026 [ 17 TRACKS ] · 06:23 – 21:10 A Wednesday split in two by the working day, and the two halves could not stand further apart. 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. Sunday Jul 12 · 2026 [ 33 TRACKS ] · 18:48 – 22:24 A Sunday given over to weight and slowness, and the first real listening in three days after a weekend the record went dark. 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. Tuesday Jul 07 · 2026 [ 122 TRACKS ] · 10:05 – 19:55 A Tuesday that begins reaching for people.
