Chapter 80 - Domkraft
Thursday May 27, 2021
Thursday May 27, 2021
Swedish doom rockers Domkraft join us this week, with Martin Widholm in-house with us. After reminiscing of the Day of Doom back in 2019, Martin delves into why he chose skateboarding and punk rock over sports, being part of one big happy doom-punk family, stemming out from garage rock, Roadburn innovation, having a (Pink Floyd's) Meddlesome childhood, that Swedish sound, government-funded rehearsal spaces, a tale of two Martin's, Magnetic Eye's commitment to the music, the evolving album artwork of Bjorn Atldax, and never deciding to become a doom band.
Domkraft's latest album, Seeds, is out now and available for purchase over at their Bandcamp.
Track featured is "Tremors" off Seeds

Our guest this week is Glenn Szymanski of Buffalo's Tines. Glenn runs us through his musical history, talking about being converted to metal through The Road Warriors tag-team duo, his old death metal band Mutant Supremacy and experimental outfit Ad Hoc Theory, Tines' exploratory EP, not being influenced by anything post-1985, what it is like to be too musical for punk and too loud and fast for hard rock, housing Andy Patterson back in the day, building the NY Doomed and Stoned compilation, his many travels, and big love for Arthur Brown, Nik Turner, and Betty Davis.

Thursday May 13, 2021
From the murky depths of Akron rises the Black Tar Superstar! Reaper and Texas Heat drop in to talk about their forthcoming album, as well as keeping that Texas energy real onstage, how the collapse of one band lead to BTS, being sold on Diamond & Danzig, Ozzfest '99, taking notes from Trey Azagthoth to stay humble, recognize their international fans, the power of teaching music (but keeping the metal band under wraps for the kids), a one-man 8-bit Game Boy band, doom mash waves, Skyline Chili vs. Buckeyes (and more regional fare), and keeping it kayfabe.

Track featured is "One Eyed God" off their latest album, The Black Flame, out May 28th!

Chapter 77 - Elliott Trifilo

Thursday May 06, 2021
It's Diary of Doom: Coast to Coast edition, as two fellow Psychos unite from opposite ends of the land. Elliott Trifilo dishes out on why he appreciates all genres spawned from the fretboard, the magic feeling of being at the right festival, powering through illness for Danava, the logistics of a traveling festival, many Psycho Las Vegas memories, festival tactics, not paying extra for the Misfits, a saucerful of sound issues, getting back into hardcore, and being a hard stan for Dunable.
If you are a drummer in the San Francisco/Oakland area, hit up Elliott on Instagram.
