Nazxul - The Iconoclast
Velvet Cacoon - P aa opal Poere Pr. 33
Aluk Todolo - Finsternis

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!
