Chapter 65 - Irene the Black Metal Pastry Chef

Hope your sweet tooth is primed (and it should be, you dirt weed smoking reprobates). Our good friend Irene, otherwise known as the Black Metal Pastry Chef on the interwebs, is joining us for this chapter of the Diary, talking about seeing Blood Incantation on Valentine's Day (the cipher was featured in a Stereogum article about it, read it here, and yes, he totally keeps saying Kerrang), blasting Cloud Rat to wake up in the AM, navigating the hostile territory of the power violence scene, dropping out of university to fall into a career as a pastry chef, the science of baking, why the cake/apple pie debate is dumb, weed treats and Sunn O))) peanut butter tarts, why baking to music is a must, heavy metal getting cute, and Morbid Angel Food Cake.

Also featuring a guest appearance throughout by a man aggressively trying to back his car out of a snowbank.
