Two cosmic truckers — Brake Savage & Ole Smog — drift through the void blasting outlaw riffs and decoding the forbidden frequencies of heavy metal. Each week we jack into a different album, break down the riffs, trade lore, and send dispatches from the farthest edges of the universe.
Brake Savage and Ole Smog crack open Bathory by Bathory for a deep dive into the raw beginnings of black metal, vampire etiquette, Satanism, cosmic mysteries, and the family business of being an absolute menace. Along the way, we explore musical influences, the dark lord's relationship with heavy riffs, the headbanger's matrix, and some deeply questionable family traditions. Grandpa Alexander joins the transmission for a surreal conversation about metal, mythology, and the mysteries lurking beneath the surface.
Tune in for grimy riffs, bizarre tangents, and a whole lot of evil nonsense. Another transmission from the outlaw metal frontier.

Ep. 27 BMT Interview Series - Tempus Terra Returns
BMT sits down with Tempus Terra ahead of their new album dropping 10/02/2026 and their upcoming release show at Birdie’s Cabaret. We talk about the new record, the release show, and what the band has been cooking up, then let the conversation go wherever it takes us—metal, D&D, The Munsters, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Good people, good conversation, and a whole lot of love for heavy music, D&D, and classic monsters. Crank it up and transmit.
