THE DEVIL'S MOUTH Vol. 110: Ten Rounds with Michael Jochum (Ancient VVisdom, Nunslaughter)
Ancient VVisdom - and now NunSlaughter! - guitarist offers us a tour through the best of the Cleveland/Ohio death and black metal underground.
It’s no secret that Ancient VVisdom are awesome, a rather unique band with a sinister take on neofolk, metal and doom, and the guys in the band are pretty great too. Frontman Nathan Jochum was an early supporter of The Devil’s Mouth, having been a guest on the podcast way back in episode #32, and now it’s the long overdue turn of his guitar-wielding brother Michael Jochum to go on the Ten Rounds ride. We caught him at a very good time too, as he just recently became the new guitarist for the legendary NunSlaughter, one of the bands with the longest back catalogue page on Encyclopaedia Metallum and currently a highlight of the Cleveland scene.
Which is something relevant to this episode! So Michael went and did a special thing, you see - all of his Ten Rounds are fine selections from the Ohio black and death metal scene, mostly centered around Cleveland. Not only that, but he also handpicked recent songs for all of them, so we get a perfect snapshot of the impressive amount of talent that is brewing in that area in the most extreme of metal genres.
It’s one of the most extreme episodes in quite a while, so prepare your ears for the onslaught that Michael has prepared for us.
