About this episode

The episode discusses the unique band Dark Millennium and their first two albums, featuring listener engagement and tangents on related topics.

For years (yes, we've been doing this a while now), various Radical Research listeners around the globe have asked us, "When is the Dark Millennium episode coming?" For Hunter, this would have been an easy answer: Anytime! For Jeff, a crash course in this interesting, challenging, wholly unique band was in order. Having boned up on the details, Jeff joins Hunter and those RR freakazoid listeners in hailing this band's first two albums, which we dissect readily in this episode. Tangents on Therion and graphite included... Note I: Finally, after years of toil, Jeff’s Voivod book is finally available.
