As The Death Metal Guy recovers from the tumult of hurricane season, I call upon our bold young comrade Hyper Shaman to fill TDMG’s capacious, plutonium-toed boots. Our aim? Get caught up on GLORIOUS PAGAN BLACK METAL. This episode began as a normal two-record show, but due to time constraints, and the sheer scale of the work at hand, it became a s…

Terminators, thank you for your patience. After a couple weeks’ delay, for which TDMG has a good excuse (two fucking hurricanes) and I have none, we’re back!

8M ago1:40:11

1:40:11

On Terminus 163, we hearken back to the early days of the show with a wildly disparate lineup - two bands united only by their weirdness, and by the suddenness of their return. 00:00 - Intro 0:04:03 - Viscera Infest - Teratoma (Obliteration Records) Japanese brutal goregrinders break out of the psych ward with a shockingly fast and noisy reinterpre…

Terminus 162 is unusually contentious, at least relative to the last few years of the show.

1:45:49

Returning from an interviewmission, Terminus is back with a couple records at least approximately located in the outlaw rock space.

Continuing this year's ongoing theme of triumphant returns come two excellent records--one highly anticipated, and the other utterly unexpected.
