    EP 29: Scenes, Black Metal, & Keller Synth with Charlotte of Cries of Agony | MORE THAN METAL

    Trends in black metal have been all over the place in the last decade. So we thought there would be no other better to talk to than Cries of Agony, who straddle the lines of black metal, keller synth, and dungeon synth. And be sure to scope the video for their track, "Digital Grave."

    EP 26: The Swap: Current Femtanyl 93 | MORE THAN METAL

    The challenge continues between John and Bailey. This time the contenders are Femtanyl's Chaser EP and Lucifer Over London by Current 93. What might our hosts have to say about such esoteric materials? The Swap is where Bailey and John give each other an album they've never heard to listen to. They then share a conversation about their thoughts on the respective music composition.

    EP 25: Deadsy - Commencement; Does It Hold Up? | MORE THAN METAL

    After months of begging her, Bailey finally listened to Deadsy's 2002 album, Commencement. Doing a deep listen, we ask if this seminal album, that is too often associated with nu-metal, holds up?
