Episode #42 - Buried Alive

1. Song: Revelations (Intro) , Artist: Suicide Silence , Album: The Cleansing (Century Media)
2. Song: Warborn , Artist: The Black Dahlia Murder , Album: Nocturnal (Metal Blade)
3. Song: Belülről Pusztít , Artist: Sunn O))) , Album: Oracle (Southern Lord)

• Hungarian for "destroys from the inside", "Belülről Pusztít" is from the Oracle EP, which was sold during the band's 2007 Pacific Rim tour and on the Southern Lord West Coast 777 tour. Joe Preston (Earth, Melvins, Thrones) provides the jackhammer (yes, jackhammer) on this track, although it sounds more like a drawbridge being raised and lowered, or someone being stretched out on a rack, which, coupled with the awesome album art, fits the mood of the track perfectly. These guys never cease to amaze me. The other track on the disc (the version sold at shows has an extra disc with a 45-minute live track from 2005 called "HeliO)))Sophist"), "Orakulum" is not as good but still killer.

4. Song: La Booly Boo , Artist: Eric Copeland , Album: Hermaphrodite (Paw Tracks)

This is one of the more drone-oriented tracks.
