Re-Run: Santa Marta Golden Episode

So, I've had real trouble getting to the show this week.  I'm a high school teacher in my other life and grades are due this week.  Sadly, I do not have a new episode for you.  Instead, I'm re-running the episode where I interview Mel Arise from Santa Marta Golden.  It was on a Tuesday night (not my normal night), so my theory is that some of you may have missed it.  I'll be back next week with an episode centered around an interview with the band Owlfood.  I'm reposting my blog comments as originally written.

Here we go again!  I've had a crazy fun summer that included an exceptionally cool music festival (Gilead Media Fest), a total of 3 weeks of camping (one of which was in a pretty remote area where I woke up to a wolf in the campsite one morning...very cool!), and (not so cool) a significant computer issue which put this project on hold until I could get a new computer, transfer all my music over, etc.  I have interviews with ten different bands from Gilead Fest to play in the coming weeks, but this week, I finally have an interview with Mel Arise, the lead singer of lyric writer for Santa Marta Golden.  As I use their song Yi as my theme song every week, I think this is a pretty important one.  It turned out to be a pretty good interview too, in spite of the fact that I can only speak one language and english is the weakest of her three languages.  Thanks Mel for such a great interview!  Before I ramble on too much, here is the playlist:

Episode 35 - Gilead Interview with Geryon

On Saturday at the Gilead Media Fest this past summer, I had the opportunity to see the two piece death metal band Geryon perform.  This has got to be one of the more unique bands that I've seen in that the band has only two members, a bassist and a drummer.  The sound is heavy, brutal, and unique.  In addition, I had the opportunity to interview both members, who turned out to be great guys, insightful about their music and music in general, and more than willing to give a great interview.  As you'll hear, they are both in other bands, including being the rhythm section for the USBM band Krallice.  I apologize that there is some wind noise I was unable to remove.  I think its still well worth the listen.

Episode 34 - Gilead Interview with Hexer

While at Gilead Fest this past summer, I had an opportunity to interact with and interview members of the shadowy Philadelphia black metal project Hexer.  We are at that point in the Gilead order where its time to play that interview.  In the interview, I speak with Phlegethon and Ansgar, who turn out to be a couple of the coolest people I've met.  I really enjoyed this one and hope you take the time to check out what they do.  Since they don't release under a CC license, I'll post some links for you.  In other news, Rage and Frustration is now being broadcast in a tattoo parlor.  If you're in the West Michigan area, check out the newly opened Lightning Revival Tattoo Company.  Tell them Hayduke sent you.

Episode 33 - Anagnorisis: Gilead Media Fest

Anagnorisis is another band I saw this past summer at the Gilead Media Fest.  They were a last minute fill in when Inter Arma dropped off the bill last minute.  Because of this, I was unable to arrange an interview at the fest, and in fact just completed the interview with Samuel Hartman this afternoon (Sunday).  The band actually played on the first day of the festival, with the second day starting out with last week's interview Protestant, so I'm back tracking in order a bit in posting this now.  Talking with Sam was a really cool experience and I ended up with an interview almost 45 minutes long.  Hopefully you'll be as intrigued as I was as this means less music and more talking this week.  Since all of the releases from Anagnorisis are available under Creative Commons license, I'll also play songs from the three older release to give you a picture of the evolution of the band.   In spirit of one of (in my opinion) the best modern USBM bands, I'll be playing mostly black metal this week.  I hope you enjoy.
