Host Brandon Elkins inscribes his entry into the Akashic Record through (mostly) weekly interviews with creative occultists, doom metal dungeon masters, psychedelic extraterrestrial energy channelers, and sometimes just regular old artists and musicians. The Akashic Record seeks to wriggle into the occult and spiritual beliefs of the creators around us and examine a new spirituality for us all.

Episode 10: Through the Howling Infinite: An Interview with Bryan Bray (Gates, Cetacea)
After a long holiday layoff we shake off the ring rust and get down to it with a long-overdue sit down with Bryan Bray. He's the compositional psychonaut behind the wildly ambitious Gates along with many other great projects. Take a gander down below at the Gates BandCamp, watch this amazing video we talk about at length, and stroll off into the spirit realm, maybe get your weekend started a little early. And remember, sometimes the best revenge is to have a good day anyways.

Guillaume Cazalet (CZLT) has been forging an unlikely synthesis of mysticism, heavy sound, and a wide-ranging set of musical influences into a heady selbstanschauung. It was a blast to talk with CZLT about Neptunian Maximalism, ayahuasca demons, and creating magick through music. Check out CZLT and all his work at the links below.
