WIDB Interview with Johnny Crowder of Dark Sermon
Back in January, whilst aimlessly scrolling through Facebook and YouTube, I came across a music video that caught my attention. The video was for the song “In Tongues”, the title track of the upcoming debut album by melodic death metal band Dark Sermon. Hailing from Tampa, Florida, which is known to most metalheads as “The Death Metal Capital of the World”, Dark Sermon are a relatively new band, having only put out one EP since their formation in 2009 under the name “In Reference to a Sinking Ship”. Moreover, for a group comprised of young musicians – as no member… Continue reading

Dawgs Nite Out – Rec Center Edition
Here’s to another successful Dawgs Nite Out!
Grandfather Child
by: SEM
I’m going to do a bit of a throwback this week for my review. Last semester we received the self-titled album from Grandfather Child. I am a huge fan of this album and could literally listen to it on repeat for hours. With this album you receive about 40 minutes of playtime where each track is its own creature, which yet, as a collective, are still able to flow together seamlessly. Unlike a lot of records that I have been listening to recently, the Grandfather Child album has stood up because of their content. All of the… Continue reading
Remedy Problems
Sorry for the inconvenience, folks. We are having some technical problems in the Remedy studio that I hope will be solved shortly. Until further notice, there is no content on the Remedy stream, though it is still there (one problem down, hundreds to go).
Your Chief Engineer,
Mikey
UPDATE 3/5/2013: For our listeners I have gotten the stream up so you may listen to the music rotation on the Remedy but there will still be no lives shows for some time.
UPDATE 3/18/2013: The Remedy is back! Shows and all!
Your Chief Engineer,
Mikey
WIDB Interview with Brendon Small of Dethklok
Back in November, during the same weekend that I interviewed Levi Benton of Miss May I, I took an additional trip to the St. Louis region. This particular trip was to The Pageant for the Metalocalypse Tour 2012. The show featured The Black Dahlia Murder, All That Remains and was headlined by none other than the infamous animated band whose Adult Swim television show the tour was named after, Dethklok. I got a chance to sit down with Brendon Small – the show’s creator and band’s vocalist and guitarist – and discuss topics such as the show’s creation, the… Continue reading
