Powerchord Episode April 17, 2021
Sweet Leaf
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Today's episode celebrates heavy metal's long love affair with "the Devil's lettuce," and what better way to do that than to take a journey with a hash caravan through the deserts of the Old Testament? Prepare yourself for 63 minutes in stoner doom hell as Ian tells the story of Sleep's mighty's masterpiece DOPESMOKER, which we play in its entirity. Hour 2 of the show features some shorter blasts of brutality with THC-laced grindcore from Cannabis Corpse, Brutal Truth, and Cephalic Carnage. We'll also plumb the depths of drug-induced despair with long-awaited new music from misanthropic resin-scrapers Eyehategod and weed-worshipping sludge fiends Bongzilla, and we'll even dig the mighty Black Sabbath's marijuana anthem "Sweet Leaf" out of The Graveyard, plus loads more. Fire it up!!!
