B.L. Metal Podcast - Årsbästalistan 2016

Joakim Karlsson of CRAFT joins me! We talk about the new Craft record "White Noise and Black Metal" and how to approach the genre independently without paying too much attention to what's expected of oneself. We also listen to some new assorted metal that YOU have sent in. Surprisingly good stuff this week. Competent death metal and some oddball 'skippy' black metal. Heed! Much dissatisfaction! Playlist: Craft - Again Construct of Lethe - Rot of Augury Gutter Instinct - Shock Doctrine Black Mass Pervertor - Suffering, Our Everlasting Bliss = Hidas Wretched Fate - Split Tounge Illumination Thorns - Existence

Hah! Sunday bloody sunday. Here's some unexpected finish brutality, italian floridian-isch death metal, swedish elite black metal, deathbore and masterful italian vintage black magic. A sunday to remember! Disclaimer: It's 'June 44', not June 44th. I apologize to all affected by this mispronunciation. Whole lotta dissatisfaction!

Hello and welcome friends of metal! We have some anonymous swedeath, some superstar thrash, hollandaisian chant-doom and austrian pervo-death to evaluate. I have nothing further to entail. Enjoy the madness! And oh - a whole lotta dissatisfaction to one and all!

A 2 week + hiatus!? What gives!? Warmth! Okay? It's been boiling. Besides that there's work and I've had a lot of preparations with my own band and related issues taking up time. So, this might happen every now and then. Not that anybody's complaining, but I like 'to meet Olle in grind' (a swedish expression). Today I give you hollandaisian death, super boring doom/death, 'matrix gore' and 'Wacken mid-day chuggachugga'. And something norwegian from the vault. Enjoy! Whole lotta dissatisfaction!

After yet another hiatus of a mere week B.L.'s back, sans voice. But it didn't stop him from guiding you through quite boring death, surprisingly vital grindcore, quite dark industrial metal and Oregon darkness. How about that, huh? Whole lotta dissatisfaction!

Top of the mornin' to ya! I'll keep it short: I'm tired. And maybe that's audible in these here 30 or so minutes. But heed! Things will turn around and the metal floodgate is forever opened. Today I give you Dunkelheit-esque metal, swedish tribute death metal, danish rock 'n' roll brootality, swedish brokeback mountain black metal and some ex-goth. All hail and much dissatisfaction! Playlist: Klagan - Seer of Gallows Maim - Coffin Gloryhole Deiquisitor - Faint Distorted Images Svederna - Hår Av Hin Bay Laurel - Poison Door

Heppåre! After a "påsklov" (ancient nordic rune hymn for "easter holiday") B.L. returns with an action packed episode. He starts things off with a rant about Marduk and how to relate to scandals like the recent one, a bit on vintage hifi and then goes right into YOU additions to the show. Some attitude filled midpaced melodic death metal, danish death metal (which songs like an oxymoron), Norwegian thrash veterans, compressed brootal death metal and a new single from black metal masters Craft. How's that for a show, ey? Whole lotta dissatisfaction! Playlist: Throne of Heresy - Pax Mongolica Taphos - A Manifest of Trepidation Aura Noir - Shades Ablaze Morbid Illusion - The Vitiated Breed Craft - The Cosmic Sphere Falls

Look what the bat dragged in! It starts off kinda rambly with me trying to explain how to relate to this weird Inquisition scandal that occurred last week. But then we get into some actual metal music, sent in by YOU! Sludgy doomy death, symphonic non-symphonic black metal, stoner-esque sludge-whatever, clowny crossover and tributy death metal at it's finest. Treat yourself to a nice cup of oatmilk and have a listen, wontcha? Whole lotta dissatisfaction! Playlist: Ruin - Massacre of Flesh and Bone Mephorash - The Odius Gospels Slödder - Shit County Kamikaze Zombie - Eraser-Head Tormented - Blood Orgy
