Metal is notorious for the sheer volume of subgenres that seem to spring up every year. In this episode, we analyse how many of them are real, or whether they are simply different descriptors for the same phenomenon.

The lads dissect new "OSDM" by exchanging audio samples in an attempt to understand their content; a kind of "Blindverkostung" or "blind-tasting." The conclusion after such an endeavor is that new "OSDM" is a vibe rather than an artistic expression. 

Dis Pater, the prolific creative force behind Midnight Odyssey, joins us for a conversation about his upcoming album "Biolume Part 3 - A Fullmoon Madness" (available on November 24th via I, Voidhanger Records), the recent European tour by Midnight Odyssey, the intricacies of his projects, and various elements that shape his distinctive perspective.
