It's been TWO LONG YEARS. TWO. We are back! Its crazy how much time can slip by if you're not paying attention to whats going on around you! In this episode I briefly talk about where I've been the last 2 years. All the various different treats and tribulations that life has thrown my way to deter my focus on the podcast.
In true "Outlet for the Underground" fashion we have 2 amazing bands to share with you all today!
First up is Stitched from Birmingham, England in the UK. We played a few tracks off of their new EP "Slumtracks". Super excited to have Stitched on the podcast. If you are a long time listener of the podcast you all know how much we LOVE the UK Hardcore/Metal scene. Honored to have another band representing that part of the world be apart of our first year back!

Joining them is the MIGHTY Immortal Possession from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada bringing their old school death metal roots to the podcast. Originally formed in 1989 they have re-recorded some of their best tracks that were originally written across 3 demos from the early/mid 1990s. That new album is called "The Resurrectionist" that released in December of 2022. We played a few tracks off that new album and these are tracks you don't want to miss. Old School Death Metal is one of our favorite sub-genres to discuss!
