Tales From the Riff Podcast

EPISODE 31 GLACIAL COFFIN

Bass players... rejoice! We have none other than Benton Lovoi and a much needed added dose of Mr. John Leblanc, both of Baton Rouge's Glacial Coffin. The three of us get to hear the tale of Mr. Benton who came to the studio rather willingly believe it or not. We discuss all things metal of course and the boys also get knee deep in some deep cuts. So this is kind of a hybrid episode of sorts. You the audience member get to hang with us and Benton as we further expand our metal nerdery with each other. Pull up as the kids say and get gnarly with us.

EPISODE 30 SHRUM

EPISODE 30! This podcast is filled to the brim with nonstop entertainment brought to you by none other than Scott "Shawz" Leger. For those who don't know, Scott was the lead vocalist in SHRUM, which was a project spearheaded by the late and legendary Audie Pitre (formerly of Acid Bath). Scott was also lead vocalist in Flesh Parade and The Void. Scott details a story unlike we have ever heard on this podcast. To say Scott's journey is unique, well that in itself would be an understatement. Get comfortable and prepare yourself, this podcast was a goddamn laugh riot (well at least it was for Moe). Time to strap in and get gnarly folks. ENJOY!

In this volume of Buried Underground, Moe and Sam are joined by none other than Lafayette titan Jerik from Golgothan. We feature some choice cuts within the black metal genre. We each deliver our favored three songs within the genre. Some tracks are popular among the black metal faithful, and some... maybe not. But nonetheless, we shall do our very best to delight and entertain all of ye who are brave enough to swim in these uncharted waters.

Outro: Larmes De Crocodile by Rixe

EPISODE 28 CHRISTWORM

Hailing from the capital of Louisiana , Baton Rouge's own CHRISTWORM is not for the faint of heart. The band is a blatant and caustic blend of blackened doom that hits you square in the nose. As you sit and bleed, you start wondering about your life choices and then some. Moe is joined in studio by Travis and George, the lead vocalist and guitarist respectively. Taped just before their show in Lafayette, these two guys were gracious with their time to drop in for a podcast recording. And we couldn't be more thankful for their generosity. In this episode, the founding members of Christworm tell us their origin story, the importance of Billy Corgan, and of course why Eric Clapton is overrated. Get gnarly with us.
