Sick mail day! Deadly new patches from and .official for a long overdue vest upgrade, featuring two of the absolute best out there: Vastum, and Fluisteraars 🤩
Ian’s got the new podcast up, now with 200 percent more TRVE KVLT Norwegian black metal!!!
Enjoy a double-dose of Immortal to kick off this one, because I screwed up and played the wrong song on the original CiTR broadcast, so now it’s got both. That felt like a good way to soundtrack January Snowmageddon 2024 in Vancouver, plus I included a bunch of stuff from my favourite releases of the previous year, including Afterbirth, Hellripper, Sacred Outcry, Terrifier, Haunt, Vastum and more!!!!
We also gave a stick-tap to 3 Inches of Blood, celebrating their first local shows in 9 years, and dug some classic brutal ‘70s downer-fuzz proto doom out of the Graveyard too. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
L1n|< in teh commentzzzz, homies.
Ian’s live on the air at CiTR today for another episode of Powerchord until 3pm!!! He’s blasting a devastating selection of his favourite jams from 2023 including rippers from Smoulder, Haunt Blood Ceremony, Church of Misery, Ceremonial Bloodbath, Profane Order, Vastum, Hellripper and Sacred Outcry to help you ward off the winter chill!

First minute and an half or so is fu**ed with some dead air and a bit of bulls**t - I tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. Sorry for this!
