EPISODE 077
Fjell Thyngor
https://www.facebook.com/fjellthyngor/
We had guitarist Zhargor, bassist/vocalist Themisto, and drummer Dazbog of Fjell Thyngor on the podcast to chat about their band and upcoming shows, including representing Calgary in the Wacken Metal Battle Canada National Final on Saturday May 25th at Dickens Pub!

“Emerging as a brutal synthesis of the punishing Canadian winter and German desolation from behind the Iron Curtain, Fjell Thyngor arose in the early months of 2017. Containing former members of Leipzig's Valgaldrar and Calgary's Burning Effigy, they craft a unique sound of classic black metal riffs and eclectic drumming. Wrapped together by tortured screams that can only come from the isolation of the vast prairies, their music evokes a feeling both familiar and engaging.”
EPISODE 076
Ye Goat-Herd Gods
https://yghg.bandcamp.com/
Canadian four-piece Ye Goat-Herd Gods, Calgary’s masters of dark metal music, find inspiration for their songs in history, Mesopotamian mythology, and Romantic era poetry. The band’s name derives from the 1593 poem “Ye Goatherd Gods” by Sir Philip Sidney. YGHG is the brainchild of founder and guitarist/songwriter Jeanie Keebler; by 2015, vocalist/guitarist Gord Olson, drummer Matt Telgen, and bassist Matt Riley had joined to become a live band. The music blends melodic heavy metal with a vocal style reminiscent of the lid being slid off a stone coffin by the undead resting within.
