Book III - Chapter XXIX - Samhain Special with Vempire -"Fumes"

<strong>Samhain is upon us, an what better soundtrack (aside from the Ramones, The Misfits, and The Cramps) than a duo that harnesses Electro, New Wave, Vetch House, Post Punk, and Darkwave into the Punk spectrum like Vempire? It serves as the most saccharine of treats for you Halloween trickery as the undead are given agency over the living and the veil thins!  </strong><a href="https://vempiretheband.bandcamp" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://vempiretheband.bandcamp</strong></a><strong>.com</strong></p> <br /></p>

Book III - Chapter XXVIII : Luke Schmaltz of King Rat

TRIGGER WARNING!!! This episode deals with child abuse/S.A. and S.N.A.P. (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests).</p> Luke Schmaltz and King Rat have been a staple of the Denver Punk Rock community for 30 years. He has been a staff writer for Modern Drunkard, a bar and club owner, and now... he is a novelist.

Book III - Chapter XXVI - Christopher Lee Lewis "They Still Haven't Figured Out What's Wrong With Me" Surprise Record Release Special

https://www.christopherleelewis.bandcamp.com</p> https://www.sweet-cheetah-records.com</p> <br /></p> I'd like to introduce, "They Haven't Figured Out What's Wrong With Me," my new album which reflects my deep sense of personal existentialism over the past few years. Does life have an inherent meaning? The ten songs are about grappling with internal conflicts and trying to make sense of what makes me, me. </p> What makes this record different is, to most, it would be considered an unfinished piece of work. Rather than go into a studio and professionally record the songs with a producer or engineer, I chose to keep them in pure form, how they were written and intended. I wrote, sang, performed, and recorded all in the comfort of my home. I did not want others' fingerprints on this record, as I should bear sole responsibility. </p> <br /></p> This record marks a departure from my band LEWIS, which I left earlier this year, making it a true solo endeavor.</p> <br /></p> The first track, "Enmity" was the last song written for the album and is a song that brings feelings of opposition. "Well, I squeezed out / Then I squeezed in / There's something about it / You squeezed me again." </p> <br /></p> When I wrote "Palm Meets Pine," I was considering the intersection of different aspects of my personality. It's like two contrasting elements, symbolizing the familiar and unfamiliar. It leans more on change, and less on growth. </p> <br /></p> "Pixel Debris" emerged rather quickly after I considered throwing everything I own into a firepit and had the realization to, "Put a pin in it anyway / Repair the pixel debris." </p> <br /></p> "Did You Get a Chance to Look at the Moon?" was written about the Uvlande School massacre in Texas and "Chronic Sigher" is in regards to my observant and hypervigilant nature -- a la, "I don't know what I got into / I don't know what I got." I tend to find significance in the small things, like audibly sighing to myself, much to the chagrin and annoyance of others nearby. </p> <br /></p> Upon discovering that one leg is longer than the other, causing me to lean while I cook, I wrote, "Why Can't I Stand on Two Feet While in the Kitchen?" The kitchen also represents a theoretical space, and the inability to stand straight, likely symbolizing the feeling of being overwhelmed. </p> <br /></p> The finale of the album, "Poor Tongue Between 32 Teeth" is a meta-experiment about writing this album. "Scene of the crime / I left my footprints behind / I'm not inclined / To let my melons decline." I am the tongue, and you are a tooth. </p> <br /></p> <br /></p>

Book III - Chapter XXV - Carrion Empire (from the ashes of the great Murderbait)

Tonight we celebrate the forthcoming E.P. from Carrion Empire. Forged from the ashes and ore of the Pacific Northwest's most under-rated band, Murderbait. These masked men create existentially dark, literarily Gothic, musically dire post-sludge-doom-folk that will appeal to fans of Wovenhand, the Screaming Trees, Acid Bath, the Sisters of Mercy, Sleep, and Neurosis. The Vocalist/Keyboardist/Songwriter ( I don’t know why I listed him as the guitarist when he’s never played one in the band… my bad) of Carrion Empire and I are close friends. Within this episode, we carve a new path to reciprocity, kinship, and empathy. The new E.P. delivers something epic, plodding, and insurmountable. Melt With Us. https://www.instagram.com/carrion_empire?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== https://sweet-cheetah-records.com https://linktr.ee/BookOfVeryVeryBadThings?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=82fc0a9a-afe7-486b-a0d9-973943c90dfe
