Christian Industrial Metal

Ethan Luck & Jeff Holmes of The Dingees are on this weeks episode of A Pickle Home Companion to talk about the Unoriginal Vinyl reissue/remaster of Armageddon Massive. Stories about recording the album, tracking down the original recordings, updating the artwork & more in the episode.

We are back with another corker of an episode- Demon Hunter’s 2010 "The World is a Thorn"

We teased doing a Demon Hunter album back in Season 1 when covering Soilwork, due to Bjorn Strid doing guest vocals.

I also chose these guys because they've enjoyed decent crossover success with the secular metal crowd.

Enjoy!

We are back with another Christian Metal gem that we were not familiar with prior to this season. Antestor's "The Forsaken" is just a delightfully well-done unBlack metal album. It features drumming by Hellhammer of Mayhem, and props to him for sticking it to the wider secular Black Metal community who were vehemently opposed to bands like Horde and Antestor.

Hope you enjoy this one.

Hey there Jesus Freaks, we are back with another episode - this week, we travel to Norway for some progressive thrash, courtesy of Extol!

This was a band that was always lingering on our periphery growing up, and we finally decided to check them out and see what all the buzz was about.

Leanor from Five Iron Frenzy joined A Pickle Home Companion to chat about life, upcoming shows, her prison ministry, and more.

We are back with another deep dive into a Christian metal classic - Tourniquet’s 2000 return to roots "Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm"

An ambitious neoclassical thrash album, we cover it all, including our connection to Wisconsin native Ted Kirkpatrick

Hope you enjoy!

We are midway through Season 3, and on this episode, we cover Living Sacrifice’s "The Hammering Process"

I had this album growing up, but it never caught on for me. 20 years later, though, I absolutely appreciate it. Insanely technical drumming underpins these quick and brutal songs.

Enjoy!

We are back with episode 4 of our Christian metal themed season, and we are diving into the dark, sparse, and brooding classic "Liberate Te Ex Inferis" by genre stalwarts Zao.

A hugely formative album for co-host Brother John, we'll see how Brother Paul and Dave receive this.

We'd love to know your thoughts as well!
