Show #27: Black'n'Blue

Today being Halloween, I present to you a podcast of music made by eldritch men. Of these bands, I can speak only with extreme terror. This terror is not due altogether to the sinister manner of the bands' appearances, but was engendered by the whole nature of their work, and first gained its acute form more than nineteen years ago, when I was in the last year of my course at Luther Burbank Elementary School in Chicago. While listening to their music, the wonder and diabolism of it fascinated me utterly. Now that they are gone and the spell is broken, the actual fear is greater. Memories and possibilities are ever more hideous than realities...
