“I’ve looked into his eyes and seen the blackness of the beyond, the great nothing that waits for our warmth.” The podcast gets as metal as it will ever get: we’re joined by Tenebrous Kate of the Bad Books for Bad People podcast to discuss David Peak’s utterly indefensible horror novel Corpsepaint. Its snaking story slithers its way from a grimy travelogue about a pair of musicians traveling across Europe to the Ukraine to record an album into full-blown Lovecraftian apocalyptic horror. But wait, it gets worse! Murder, torture, school shootings, heroin withdraw, the cruelty of the old gods, evil goats and blood-caked fretboards, the story begins with black metal and ends with plague, cannibalism and mass death. The discussion touches on the traditions of cosmic horror, the definite but indefinable distinction between black and death metal, and the pleasures of artworks that will definitely fail any moral purity tests.
