About this episode

The episode features Kentucky's doom-heavy sludge band HIGHGATE discussing their latest album and its themes.

Kentucky's doom-heavy sludge band, HIGHGATE, has teamed up with Horror Pain Gore Productions to drop their latest album, "Prophecies Of Eternal Horror." Hailing from the hills of Northern Kentucky, HIGHGATE delivers a powerful mix of sludge and doom that echoes years of struggle and despair. "Prophecies Of Eternal Horror" paints a grim picture with themes of global war atrocities, religious fanaticism, and class warfare. The album's first single, "At Paranoia’s Poison Door," is a blackened-doom anthem that takes a stand against an overreaching government trying to keep us too scared to think or act independently. The refrain, “crawl to your masters,” highlights the song's message about the government's ability to turn citizens into submissive followers.
