The End is Near

It's hard to believe, but there will only be two more episodes of GOM. Next week will be the 40th show and will be a special year-end edition where I play some of my favorite songs from 2009 releases.

Then for the final episode, stay tuned for the grimmest and bleakest edition of GOM ever! It is the last show after all, and I'm quite sad to see it end. But seriously, I will try to put together a special play list for this show of absolute classics. Must go out strong!

Afterwards, I hope to transform this site into a music blog. Never fear. GOM will continue in some incarnation in the future.

By the way, winter is upon us!

FORMAT CHANGE

I have decided expand the show's format and include lots of music from outside the realm of black metal. Black metal will still be commonly played, along with like-minded music from other genres.

Focusing solely on black metal seems a bit too self-limiting and specific, especially when the audience for such a show is so small (if it exists at all!).
