Anti-Gravity Bunny

 
This is the first episode in a long time with no black metal. The only metal is some massive doom. But there’s also some wind harp drone, weirdo Japanese disco, the Inanga queen, the new solo acoustic master Yasmin Williams, and some snapshots of the civil rights movement.

Keep an eye on Gates Of Doom, that record is year end list material. I end the episode with an interview with someone who was incarcerated for a long time and just in case I didn’t say it enough during the show, fuck the prison system and everything about it. Forgive everyone.

I didn’t intend to make a comeback on inauguration day but here we are. First normal episode in 5 months. And because this isn’t being broadcast on a radio station, I could play all 47 minutes of the Ali Akbar Khan piece without any problems. There’s also some Harry Potter black metal, Fidel Castro alongside Phurpa, a Midwife & Amulets collaboration, and plenty more.

Even though this show hasn’t been very active since the pandemic, I couldn’t let Halloween go by without doing a special episode. I have so much fun putting these together.

This one has field recordings of an autopsy, a rotting corpse, and an electric chair execution, as well as cult leader monologs, trance babblings, lots of deep dark ambient, and a truly memorable ending.

Not much metal in this one. I highly recommend checking out Cinder Well’s album in full. Ends with 30+ minutes of absolute mayhem while Paul Giamatti reads A Scanner Darkly.

This is a pretty heavy & dark episode with tons of collaging (there’s 4 songs going at once for part of “Blood Rite”) but ends on a light note with some simultaneous Jobin/Atkinson action and a couple 80s New Age dreams.

Got some excellent new metal, some excellent new weird shit, new Shirley Collins (!!!), Korean religious rituals, a poem about Harriet Tubman, strange 70s spoken word stuff, an excerpt from Annie Jacobsen’s book Surprise, Kill, Vanish (which sounds especially good paired with both Christopher Elmore & Sunrot), and plenty more.

UPDATE 2: The episode is back with the Atramentus song removed. I didn’t update the timestamps in this post so if you need to, just subtract about 23 minutes from whatever timestamp you see after Atramentus to get an approximate time.

UPDATE: I removed the whole audio file as the quickest way to remedy a takedown situation (my sincerest apologies to the band). I’ll figure something out so you can listen to the episode again soon. Sorry for the fuckup.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been as obsessed with a record as I am with Lankum’s The Livelong Day from last year. I just found out about it thanks to this Shirley Collins interview (they’re her new favorite band too). I’ve listened to nothing but that record all day every day for the past week. There’s lots of other great stuff here too but there’s a reason I bookended the episode with two tracks from The Livelong Day.
 

00:00:00 Lankum – The Dark Eyed Gypsy (from The Livelong Day)
00:07:36 Atramentus – Stygian III – Perennial Voyage (Across The Perpetual Planes Of Crying Frost & Steel-Eroding Blizzards) (from Stygian)

How is the “no talk breaks” thing going? Does it totally ruin the experience or are you enjoying the show just as much?

The 3 metal songs are from 3 of the best metal records this year (M.S.W. is the Hell guy, Paysage D’Hiver should be obvious, and I thought Velnias was dead because their last LP was in 2012). The AWE track is from the upcoming final AWE record. RIP. Thankfully AW will still be active on his own and elsewhere. Backxwash is some phenomenal new horrorcore that I didn’t know I needed. And I am way psyched that there’s not one but TWO new Revolutionary Army records. We’re not worthy.
 
00:00:00 M.S.W. – Obliviosus (from Obliviosus)
00:19:38 Unknown artists – Rise And Fly (from Angola Prison Spirituals)

Goddamn this world is fucked.

For countless reasons, I’ve been absent from this site and my A Thick Mist radio show. The last episode was 3 months ago to the day. Before that, it was over a month. I’ve missed A Thick Mist a lot. It’s pretty much my only creative outlet and doing a live show is kind of cathartic. I’ve tried replicating the experience from home while the university radio station is closed but have been unsuccessful. That failure lead to abandonment. Enough time has passed that I’m now making another effort and doing it with different goals in mind.

I’m rusty. Hardly experimenting here. Nothing too weird. The main difference though is there’s no talk breaks. I know that makes this less of a radio show and more like a mix. But the talk breaks were getting in the way of making an episode, so I axed em just to get something done. Here it is. I think I’ll be able to do this more consistently now.
 

00:00:00 Amy Cutler – Vigil For Örö (One Month Of Fieldtrip Sounds – Radar, Bird Calls, Bunker Bell System, Ice, Rust, Swamp) (from Örö Tape (Fieldtrips Of The Damned))
00:04:08 Pale Cocoon – Aozora No Jikken-shitsu (from Aozora No Jikken-shitsu / Secret Sounds)
00:13:59 Burning Witch – Rift.Canyon.Dreams (from Asva / Burning Witch split)
00:26:45 Angel Rada – Mar De La Tristeza (from Upadesa)
00:34:59 The Gyuto Monks – Guhyasamaja Tantra. Chapter II (from Tibetan Tantric Choir)
00:37:51 People Meowing (excerpt) (from People Meowing)
00:59:33 Midwife – C.R.F.W. (from Forever)
01:08:01 Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes – Poème Non Épique (from N°2)
01:26:35 Hellish Forms – Gazing Upon A Forgotten Shadow (Descent) (from MMXX)
01:52:18 BERU – In The Red Thickness Of Your Skin (from Forgiveness Is Supernatural)

 
This was the first at-home live broadcast I’ve ever done, so it might feel/sound a little different than the usual A Thick Mist episodes that are recorded live at WMWM. It worked out pretty ok, though, and I will definitely be doing more live shows from home, hopefully on a weekly basis. This episode aired from 8-10 (ET) on Saturday night and I’ll probably continue with that time. You can listen at mixlr.com/justinsnow

For those curious about the setup in case you also might want to try live broadcasting, I’m only using two pieces of free software: the Mixlr app for broadcasting to Mixlr and Mixxx for playing music which I basically just use to crossfade and stuff. Mixxx outputs directly to Mixlr so it’s super simple. I use an external mic but that’s not required.

Music-wise, this episode is pretty cool, with new Jeremy Bible (!!!!), the debut from Apologist, some classic Rev. Gary Davis, Aurora Borealis recordings, Indian chants, Tolowa dances, and some new killer doom out of Boston by Sea.
