For this recording, Self Spiller was joined by luminaries such as Mirai from Sigh, and Don of Agalloch fame. Join us for this quick episode as we examine both versions and bask in the glory of Bjork’s artistry.

Episode 134 - KGLT Bozeman, MT - 04/26/1993 - Interview with Jason Walton Part 03
2026/09/16
Welcome to the third and final installment of our trip down memory lane, featuring Jason Walton’s 1993 KGLT Radio interview from the height of the death metal era.
While 1993 was arguably the best year for death metal, this show covers a wide range of music. We discuss and listen to The Dead Milkmen, play tracks from Carcass, Celtic Frost, and Disincarnate, feature some hip-hop and punk, and take calls from listeners.
Fire up Mike Browning’s time machine once again, and take a trip back with us to Bozeman in 1993.

Episode 133 - Fire in the Mountains and Listener Emails
2026/09/09
East Glacier, Montana. Fire in the Mountains. What a glorious experience and amazing festival. Jason tells us all about it, from Agalloch performing “Ashes Against the Grain” in its entirety, to Enslaved, Sigh, Borknagar, swimming in the glacier-fed lake, and reconnecting with his homeland, Jason goes on and on about how fabulous this experience was.
After sharing those festival highlights, we dive into plenty of listener emails. Listeners chimed in on previous topics like Workout Metal, John Bush in Anthrax, and Sepultura without the Cavaleras, as well as stories about running into heroes and celebrities.
So, as Deicide says, “Join us!”

Episode 128 - KGLT Bozeman, MT - 04/26/1993 - Interview with Jason Walton Part 01
2026/08/05
We recently unearthed two cassettes from our archives containing a live recording of an interview on Bozeman, Montana’s KGLT radio show at Montana State University. Recorded live on April 26th, 1993, this show took place mere months before Jason graduated from high school and moved to Minneapolis to continue playing death metal.
During the broadcast, the host, Bob Kleinjan, and Jason played music, discussed death metal, and promoted an upcoming festival in Bozeman, which marked the final performance of Jason’s high school band, V.B.G.
We invite you to take this trip back in time with us. Please enjoy the old local commercials, brand new tunes from 1993, and this glimpse into the past.

Episode 126 - Headbangers Ball
2026/07/22
Before the internet, streaming, and YouTube, MTV’s Headbangers Ball was debatably the most wide-spread source for bringing heavy and extreme metal into our homes. Hosted by Riki Rachtman, the show introduced a generation to everything from the mainstream sounds of Metallica and Pantera to the extreme metal of Death, Cannibal Corpse, and Sepultura.
Please join us as we reminisce and debate the legacy of this iconic era. And as always, keep one foot in the gutter and one fist in the gold.
