Citr -- Powerchord

This episode kicks off with a pair of filthy covers from the CVLT Nation Sessions tribute to Entombed's classic 1990 album Left Hand Path! Fight the pandemic blues with us as we play some crusty, agonizing doom from Vile Creature's newest album, and then we get into some thunderous, riff-heavy power metal from Eternal Champion and Smoulder. We'll also play some psychedelic-dosed hard rock with Blackwater Holylight and some occult-scented proto-doom with The Well. Hour 2 features some demented brutality as we explore progressive extremes in metal with Pyrrhon, Afterbirth and Xazuraug. A few Canadian metal favourites make an appearance, including crushing riff-groovers from Bison and Barnburner, and some belligerently crusty sludgecore Waingro, Baptists, and we'll get into some lightspeed corpse-rippin' thrash with Toxic Holocaust and Nervosa. Plus, we'll dig a classic track from Darkthrone's brilliant 1995 album Panzerfaust out of The Graveyard! Get hyped and crank the volume!

On this show we blast out of the gate with new death metal from heavyweights like Ulcerate, Vader, Revenge, along with some stuff from Tyrant's Blood and Venom Prison! We also lay down some neck-breaking thrash with Infernal Majesty, Nervosa, Warbringer and new music from Canada's own Annihilator! This show also features new doom metal from the legendary Paradise Lost along with local favourites Heron and Mendozza, and we get into some transcendent black metal with the likes of Ruins of Berverast, Tryptikon and Fortresse before throwing in some straight up-rockers from Boris and Lowrider! And as always, we dig a classic track out of The Graveyard, this time taking you back to 1989 with Bolt Thrower's second album Realm Of Chaos! Let's get rad!

Coleman does some hard lamenting about the postponed Covenant fest.

Ian makes his triumphant return to the airwaves and attempts to grapple with recording the show at home on his laptop. In this episode, we’ve got new music from Smoulder, Spell, Mendozza, Haunt, Cauldron, Dopelord, Slift and others, plus a song off the newest record from veteran Bay Area thrashers Testament! We’ll dig into some heavy rock with a few prog, psych, and proto-metal touches like Blood Ceremony, Stonefield, Merlin, as well as some traditional ‘80’s style speed metal with Blade Killer and Riot City. We will get into a mini set of bestial black/war metal including Goatkraft and Superstition, plus a throwback track from Vancouver’s own Blasphemy from one of their highly influential demos. Plus, we’ll also dig a classic track from Teutonic thrash legends Destruction out of The Graveyard! Let’s get loud!!!

Coleman ambles through another COVID sesh from his East Van abode. We play some protest tunes re. the BLM movement against racism and police brutality courtesy of Power Trip, Body Count, and Holy Grinder; some assorted new tunes from the likes of Sightless Pit, Ifernach, and Hyperdontia; plus a feature on the new split from Almyrkvi and (of course) The Ruins of Beverast. Get the FUCK into it.

Coleman pours one out for what would habe been Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle. Also new chunes from local faves Heron, Empress, and Seer; and Ice-T drops a truth bomb to close us out. RIP George Floyd.

Coleman has a chat with Mayo from local promoter The Invisible Orange about missing live music and when/how it may return, as well as a feature on the cancelled Modified Ghost 5 Year Anniversary shows with Sacrifice, Razor, Cattle Decapitation, Old Man Gloom, and plenty more \m/

Another transmission from lockdown. Coleman highlights more cancelled and postponed shows from Auroch, Exterminatus, and Archgoat; as well as a feature on new stuff from the Vigor Deconstruct label, and more...

A whole schwack of new shit from Cauldron, Revenge, The Hallowed Catharsis, Cirith Ungol, and the new Whoredom Rife/Taake split. Plus a feature on new live releases, and an inquest into the idea and examples of "modern-classics".

Coleman greets you once again from his basement with riffs aplenty. New shit from the Spectral Lore/Mare Cognitum collab, Panzerfaust, Lady Beast, Ripped to Shreds, Ruin Lust and heaps more.

Coleman cobbles together another show from home, touching on the cancelled Hyperspace Metal fest and Ritual Dictates shows; we pine for live music with Yob and Triptykon; and check out a heap of new jamz from Wake, Black Curse, Nekrovault, Krallice, and more.

Coleman throws together another home recorded show with a bunch of hella long players. We bookend the set with two half-hour masterpieces from Esoteric and Gorguts respectively, plus new Spell, Auroch, Panopticon and a live show that could have been: Year of the Cobra and Mendozza. And an Easter anthem from Deicide.

Welcome to the first ever home recorded episode of Powerchord! It only took a global pandemic to force us to figure it out, but whatever works, right?Listen to Coleman fumble through this trial run, hopefully find his legs in the end, and manage to produce something coherent.

Coleman and his wee girl are in studio cranking out dark, heaviness of many varieties. We check out the new split from Anhedonist and Spectral Voice, recent local shows from Blackwater Burial, Blackwater Holylight, and upcoming shows from Vastum and Mayhem, plus shit loads more.
