InObscuria Podcast

Prepare yourself for a killer episode featuring killer bands with killer songs from 2023... Happy New Year! Apparently, “killer” is the only adjective Kevin can use to describe artists this week (this is what happens when he’s on his own). 2023 has been another amazing year for new music from legacy artists, current artists, and new artists. Join us for our end-of-year celebration and recognition of all of the amazing, recorded output of 2023!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or grouping of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we look back on another amazing year for the world of rock n’ punk n’ metal. In celebration of the New Year, we wanted to find some nuggets of joy from the last 12 months. We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays, and that you can take some time to kick back and rock with us! Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome back my friends to Ep. 213 of the InObscuria Podcast! Last week one of your esteemed co-hosts mentioned that he was going to start a new funk rock band called White Pepper... We thought this week would pontificate about what that group will sound like! We will once again explore all things FUNKY! Let your body move and your asses groove as we get down with some badass funk rock!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Besides eating pop-tarts, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode, we take a listen to all 3, as we move n’ groove our way through funk-infused rock n’ roll. This genre has a special meaning to the hosts, as they have dabbled in this funkdafied landscape throughout their musical journeys.

Songs this week include:

1. High Fade – “Burnt Toast & Coffee” from Burnt Toast & Coffee - Single(2023)
2. Electric Love Hogs – “Just Another Day” from Electric Love Hogs (1992)
3. Osaka Punch – “How We Operate” from Mixed Ape(2023)
4. Sinister Dane – “Ravens” from The Claws Of Time (2023)
5. JonesWorld– “Feel The Groove” from Feel The Groove – Single (2016)
6. KRUSH GROOVE – “K.G.” fromHAVE A BREAK(2002)
7. Precious Death – “Shine” from Southpaw (1995)

This week: the 2nd in a newer series called “In The Shadow Of...”, where we compare obscure bands to a mainstream act. This is not about copycats or copybats, but more so about artists that have similar vibes to a band who has become synonymous with Gothtober; the one and only TYPE O NEGATIVE! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by TYPE O’s gothic metal greatness.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It’s been said that there is no originality left in rock n’ roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!

Songs this week include:

1. A Pale Horse Named Death – “Shallow Grave” from Lay My Soul To Waste (2013)
2. Frown – “Last Summer Days” from Lunar Brightshine And Fiery Splendour (2003)
3. Unto Others – “Double Negative” from Mana (2019)
4. Marble Orchard – “Liar’s Tongue” from Building Monuments To Misery (2023)
5. Seventh Void – “Slow Decent” from Heaven Is Gone (2009)
6. Orphans Of Dusk – “Spleen” from Spleen (2023)

Happy Friday the 13th! Join us as we head over to Video Shop to pick out a frightastic flick! That’s right, we are going to rent some tapes and we’re prepared for blood n’ gore n’ frights! Did you ever hear about rock bands selling their souls to the devil, and if you listen to their music or play their albums backward you will turn into a demonic zombie??? The 70s, 80s, and 90s were full of films about horrific demons and metal n’ punk bands either having their songs featured in the movie or were themselves featured as the subject of the film. Grab your Reeses Pieces, large Coke, a severed limb, and hum along.

Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal.
