InObscuria Podcast

This week’s show is the final frightful installment of Gothtober 2026. We hope you love this episode to death… Many are aware that we record in a refurbished fire house, but did you know that in the mid-1900s the original fire house burned to the ground? What ghosts lurk within the dark corridors and surrounding grounds where the new fire house sits? Listen to some haunting rock n’ punk n’ metal, and prepare to be creeped out, disturbed, and perhaps titillated. Happy Halloween, everyone!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? In the beginning, good always overpowered the evils of all man's sins... But in time the nations grew weak, and our cities fell to slums while evil stood strong. In the dusts of hell, lurked the blackest of hates. For he whom they feared awaited them... Now many many lifetimes later lay destroyed beaten down and only the corpses of rebels, ashes of dreams, and bloodstained streets remain... It has been written "Those who have the youth, have the future". So, come now children of the beast; be strong and shout at the devil!

1. Calabrese - “I Was A Teenage Deathstalker” from No Return From Darkness (2025)

2. Creeper - “Parasite” from Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death (2025)

This week, we bring you the 3rd and final volume of “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!” from a band we’ve covered in past Gothtobers. Another in-depth exploration of a perennial Halloween favorite for us: the frightfully amazing HELLOWEEN! This German band has had a lasting impact on Kevin, but how will Robert react now that he's seen the power of metaling pumpkins live in concert?

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we have featured on the show several times over the years and is the end of our trilogy of deep dives. A German band that helped establish the metal genre known as, “Power Metal”. Unfortunately, their brilliance and innovation have never fully been recognized to the degree that it deserves. We think they SHOULD BE HUGE… and we are ready to fly that banner proudly!

Songs this week include:

1. Helloween - “Starlight” from Helloween - EP (1985)

2. Helloween - “Ride The Sky” from Walls Of Jericho (1985)

3. Helloween - “Judas” from Judas - EP (1986)

4. Helloween - “Future World” from Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Part I (1987)

5. Helloween - “Eagle Fly Free” from Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Part II (1988)

6. Helloween - “Heavy Metal Hamsters” from Pink Bubbles Go Ape (1991)

7. Helloween - “Victim Of Fate” from The Best, The Rest, The Rare (1991)

8. Helloween - “Step Out Of Hell” from Chameleon (1993)

This week, we succumb to the lunar spell and bark at the moon! What starts as a couple of buddies recording a podcast out in the woods of an Atlanta suburb, quickly becomes a life altering event after a scuffle with a wolf-like creature. Listen in as they take a furry bite out of songs, bands, or albums pertaining to the WOLF. Songs that howl and wail under the pale moonlight. Scratch that itch, and join our pack for week #3 of Gothtober!

We thought it would be a good idea to sit around the campfire and enjoy the crisp Gothtober air, but once the air felt (and sounded) like a hot breath we decided to head back inside. Did we make it in time to avoid being an evening snack? Listen in and find out! Somehow, we still managed to record a show and bring you a collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. Wolfsbane – “Fell Out Of Heaven” from Live Fast, Die Fast (1989)

2. A Pale Horse Named Death – “Meet The Wolf” from And Hell Will Follow Me (2011)

3. Wolf – “At The Graveyard” from The Black Flame (2006)

4. Red Sea – “Wolves At The Door” from Blood (1994)

5. Wolves At Bay – “Tried To Fix” from When I’m Dead (2014)

6. The Young Wolf – “My Sweet Mary Jane” from My Sweet Mary Jane - Single (2016)

7. Type O Negative – “Wolf Moon (Including Zoanthropic Paranoia)” from October Rust (1996)

8. Splinter – “Werewolves Of London” from Punk Rock Halloween, Vol. 2: Louder, Faster & Scarier (2019)

For week 2 of Gothtober, we exhume the tomb… The tomb of doom! Join your two favorite grave robbers as they dissect the history of doom metal and explore the haunted house that Black Sabbath built. Grab a bloody maria and enjoy the slow dirge of the devil’s tritone with us!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. Trouble – “The Misery Shows” from Run To The Light (1985)

Gothtober is finally here! Your two favorite wraiths show their appreciation of the grim and ghastly as they don all black garb, dead guy-liner, and a healthy dose of black no. 1 on their mop tops. This time the ghosts and goblins get heavy… That’s right, everything turns grey as they, once again, explore the dark and doomy world of Goth Metal!!!

This week we break down the amazing new album from Galactic Cowboys – What Planet Are You From? To get all of the gory details, we had to go the man himself: the one and only Monty Colvin! We welcome him back to talk all things GC and how this album was the result of crowd funding, a move back to Houston, and adversities from lineup changes to death! Listen in and discover more about Galactic Cowboys, Monty’s amazing paintings, and what your new favorite album of 2026 is sure to be!

Wondering what this show is all about? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and place them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. The guys were stoked to chat with Monty once again this week. Kevin has loved and championed this band since first hearing them in 1992. Galactic Cowboys straddle the worlds of progressive metal, alternative rock, thrashing heaviness, and melodies with amazing harmonies!

This week, another show celebrating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n’ roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique pipes that set them apart from the rest. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory!

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Our appreciation this week of rough and textured singing extends to all of the genres that we love. Kevin never realized how much this style of vocalizing actually had an impact on him until putting this series together. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!

Songs this week include:

1. Plasmatics – “Put Your Love In Me” from Coup De Grace (2002)

2. U.D.O. – “Holy” from Metallized (2000)

This week, we are back with part 2 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada’s very own: SLOAN! We covered the years 1992-2001 back in Ep. 348; this time we bring you up to date with releases from 2003 to 2025. Sloan is the quintessential Canadian power-pop act—that blends '70s hard rock riffs, Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and indie rock grit has won them gold albums and a Juno in their home country. We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world!

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Kevin has been a fan of since discovering their first album back in 1993. Robert is less familiar with their impressive discography, so join him if this is an unknown for you. We think they should be remembered alongside the likes of other Canadian treasures like RUSH and TRIUMPH!

Songs this week include:

1. Sloan – “Ready For You” from Action Pact (2003)

2. Sloan – “Living With The Masses / HFXNSHC” from Never Hear The End Of It (2006)

3. Sloan – “The Other Side” from Parallel Play (2008)

4. Sloan – “I’ve Gotta Know” from The Double Cross (2011)

5. Sloan – “You Don’t Need Excuses To Be Good” from Commonwealth (2014)

6. Sloan – “Spin Our Wheels” from 12 (2018)

7. Sloan – “Scratch The Surface” from Steady (2022)

8. Sloan – “Capital Cooler” from Based On The Best Seller (2025)

This week we make hard choices: Aquanet or White Rain? That’s right, we are once again diving hair-first into the world of obscure glam metal. We are focusing on the bands that arrived on the scene just a hair too late: the years 1991-1993. They wanted to party like it was 1989, but a grungy storm from the Pacific Northwest was coming to crush their party vibes. If you like it glammy, sleazy, and trashy, this is your show!

This week’s episode is brought to you by the colors: yellow, orange, and brown. The 8th volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of purple smoke, and join your favorite rock n’ roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal.

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1973. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.

Songs this week include:

• Zoot - “Hey Pinky” from Zoot Out (1971)
• Head Over Heels - “Road Runner” from Head Over Heels (1971)
• Fresh Blueberry Pancake - “Hassels” from Heavy (1970)
• Wicked Lady - “I’m A Freak” from Psychotic Overkill (1972)

This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It’s been said that there is no originality left in rock n’ roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!

Songs this week include:

• Trivium – “Unrepentant” from The Crusade (2006)
• Bloodstain – “Black Swan” from I Am Death - EP(2024)
• Thrasherwolf – “Shameless Loser” from Inside The Sickened Mind (2024)
• Evile – “Head Of The Demon” from Skull (2013)
• Machine Head – “Slanderous” from The Blackening (2007)
• Tantara – “Human Mutation” from Based On Evil (2012)
• ThrashWall – “War Outside The Wall” from ThrashWall(2020)

This week brings another installment of “Degrees Of Separation…,” where we dig into the side projects, supergroups, and solo releases connected to a particular artist. This time, we pay tribute to a rock n’ roll workhorse and journeyman from the Great White North: a jack-of-all-trades musician who seems to be single-handedly keeping many of the legacy artists we love in fighting shape. He’s not only a multi-instrumentalist and consummate rock star, but he also has some of the best pipes in the business. Of course, we’re talking about TODD “DAMMIT” KERNS!!!

New to InObscuria? It’s all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While you may know Todd primarily as Slash’s bass player and backing vocalist, you may not realize just how deep his catalog of side projects runs—or how many artists he has supported throughout his career. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new!

Songs this week include:

• Minefield - “All American Man” from Minefield (2021)
• Smash L.A. - “Breakin’ All The Rules” from Law ‘N’ Authority (1989)
• Blackbird Angels - “Mine (All Mine)” from Solsorte (2023)
• The Age Of Electric - “Remote Control” from Make A Pest A Pet (1997)
• Sin City Sinners - “Goin’ To Vegas” from Exile On Fremont Street (2010)
• Bob Kulick - “Rich Man” from Skeletons In The Closet (2017)
• Todd Kerns - “You Know What You Did” from TKO (2016)
• Static In Stereo - “Overboard” from Static In Stereo (2002)
• Toque - “The Spirit Of Radio” from Never Enough (2019)

This week InObscuria exhumes those unmarked graves of unsigned artists! These bands may not have been signed to a major or gained internationally distributed success, but they were all rock stars to those lucky enough to hear and see them! Anyone who’s ever been in a band and played local/regional shows knows that some of the best live acts and musicians (and friends) are met through sharing bills with other acts. We hope we turn you on to some great music that you may have otherwise never had a chance to hear!

New to InObscuria? Every week your two hosts crawl down to the crypts to exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. These are artists that are all amazing, but lost to most of the world. If you were there, you know! If you dig it… go dig it up and buy it! Support these artists and keep your devil horns high in the air!
