Screaming Bloody Oranges: The Invisible Oranges Podcast

Episode 26: Interview with Lunar Chamber

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel met up with the members of Lunar Chamber - "They, Who May Not Be Perceived," "Timeworn Nexus," and "Æther Lotus" - to talk about their debut EP "Shambhallic Vibrations" and their esoteric - and the word absolutely applies here - approach to death metal.

Episode 25: Khanate Discusses ”To Be Cruel,” Their First Album in 14 Years

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by An Evening Redness's Brandon Elkins, sat down with Khanate members Alan Dubin and James Plotkin to talk through the band's surprise-released newest album. We talked about how Khanate crafts their torturous, long-form extreme music and what led to the band's resurrection.

Episode 24: Tenhi’s ”Valkama” and the Passage of Time

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by Musk Ox's Nathanael Larochette, talk to Tenhi members Tyko and Ilmari about the intricacies of the creative process, the inner workings of Tenhi's discography, and why it took over ten years for this Finnish band to release the followup to 2011's Saivo.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by columnist and dungeon synth encyclopedia Kaptain Jonathan Carbon, interview dungeon synth artist Vaelastrasz, who discussed creating sportswave, the dungeon synth community, comfy synth, and more.

Episode 22: Nu-Metal and Neocrust with Memorrhage’s Garry Brents

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by the intrepid Justin Taylor, interview prolific multi-instrumentalist and creative force Garry Brents, whose upcoming Memorrhage album is bound to redefine the nu-metal revival. Beyond that, we discuss Brents' extensive back catalog, ranging from Cara Neir's digital hardcore to SAL's post-metal/goregrind fusion, and even some surprise, forgotten projects from the mid-2000s.

Episode 21: Majesties Talks ”Vast Reaches Unclaimed” and Melodic Death Metal

Invisible Oranges editors Jon and Ted, joined by Ben Smasher, talk with Majesties about their recent album "Vast Reaches Unclaimed." The band, comprised of Carl Skildum and Matthew Kirkwold (both of Antiverse and Inexorum) and Tanner Anderson (Celestial, Obsequiae), plus new drummer John Kerr, are keenly interested in melodic death metal's earliest iterations, and that passion inspired a record which brings that past to new, vivid life.

Episode 20: Further Into the ”Black Medium Current” with Dødheimsgard’s Vicotnik

Enlisting Doldrum and Erraunt multi-instrumentalist Oneiric (aka Ben D.) and our friend Ben Smasher, Invisible Oranges spoke with the sole remaining founding member of Dødheimsgard, Vicotnik–also of Ved Buens Ende and Dold Vorde Ens Navn. We discussed their upcoming record "Black Medium Current," which represents yet another leap forward for the adventurous band, as well as their past history–notably Vicotnik's experience in Norway's burgeoning early '90s black metal scene.

Episode 19: Are You Cosmic? Blood Incantation Talks New Record ”Timewave Zero”

Writers Jon Rosenthal and Brandon Corsair sat down with Blood Incantation members Jeff Barrett, Isaac Faulk, and Paul Riedl to discuss the band's new album "Timewave Zero," which sees them eschewing death metal entirely in favor of a cinematic ambient, synth-driven release. To Blood Incantation, though, it all falls under the greater banner of 'cosmic music for cosmic people.' Learn about the album's genesis and what went into making it here.

Episode 18: Discussing ”Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor” with Agalloch

Editor Jon Rosenthal sat down with John Haughm, Don Anderson, and Jason William Walton to discuss Agalloch's first EP, "Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor." Released shortly before "The Mantle," but including some very early Agalloch material (plus a Sol Invictus cover), it illustrates the early beginnings of the band and their influences, which is what we talk about in this episode.

 

Includes a foreword by Aesop Dekker, who played drums on Agalloch's final two LPs and EP.

Episode 17: Heavy Metal and Movies

Writers Jon Rosenthal, Joe Aprill, Brandon Corsair, and Ted Nubel are joined by ex-editor-in-chief Andrew Rothmund, returning to the podcast to participate in a lengthy exploration of how the spheres of cinema and heavy metal interact.
