Episode Notes

This week is a very special Gothtober treat as we interview a horror punk n’ metal pioneer associated with MISFITS / SAMHAIN / DANZIG! We’re talking to the one and only: EERIE VON!

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. We hope 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. Oh, and Eerie still wants your soul.

  2. Rosemary’s Babies – “Alice In Murderland” from Talking To The Dead (1983)
