In this first episode of Season 3 of the podcast, I talk about a record that has always been a go to for me when going through a tough time. I talk about two tough times in my life where this record was essential listening. I talk about how reviews for this album were off base when it came out, and I talk about Trenches’ performance at Post Festival 2023. I hope you enjoy and subscribe!

Daniel Weyandt of Zao joins me this week as we explore a handful of my favorite songs from 2016’s The Well-Intentioned Virus. Dan tells a spooky story about fever dreams, we dig into how people’s good intentions can cause more harm than good, and so much more. This is the final episode of Season 2 of DFT’S Dungeon. I will return with new episodes in August 2023.

Sometimes its easy to get caught up on our own ambition. To put so much pride and time into something that ultimately will just end up breaking down and decaying in the end. No album has illustrated that concept to me more times than Wrongdoers by Norma Jean. An album that highlights the flaws in humanity that leads to our lack of perspective and can ultimately lead us to live unsatisfying lives. Join me as I dig into Wrongdoers to try and make sense of how this album makes me feel.

Sometimes you will hear a record that stops you dead in your tracks. The kind of record that seems to be calling you out for all of your faults but has the decency to inspire you to do better. Circle Back’s Terminus is a record that not only provided value to me during the first listen, but continued to bring new understanding and new value 4 years after hearing it for the first time.

After taking a relaxing tropical vacation I came back home to the midwest with an unexpected craving for Norwegian Death Metal, and when it comes to death metal there’s always one band that always satisfies that hunger, the band that got me into death metal in the first place and that is the mighty Extol with their second album Undeceived. I talk about how hard it was to find extreme Christian music online in the VERY early 2000’s and confess that despite hearing thousands of death metal albums since hearing Undeceived that it still remains one of the greatest albums ever made.

This week I'm throwing a curveball as I decided to invite my brother on the podcast for a long overdue conversation about the role music played in our lives growing up and we discuss how much we musically diverge from the same origin point.

This week David Bunton of The Showdown and Hope Deferred breaks into the Dungeon to dive deep into Twothirtyeight’s melancholy masterpiece Regulate the Chemicals. We talk about how an album can make you feel uneasy about being in the hospital, as well as feel like you have nowhere to be on a Saturday afternoon. If you’ve ever wanted to hear two metal guys get all up in their feelings about an emo record, this is the episode for you!

This week Im diving head first into The Chariot’s debut album Everything is Alive, Everything is Breathing, Nothing is dead, and Nothing is bleeding. In the spirit of the way that album was recorded and mixed, I decided to perform the episode in one single take, mess ups and all, let me know how I did as I dig into the history of my fandom of The Chariot and what I think of Josh Scogins abstract style of lyric composition.

This week on the show I dig into an all time classic, an album I have been listening to for over 16 years. While I have no problem explaining to you musically why this album is incredible, I have a bit more trouble describing its emotional impact. In this episode I attempt to experience Jane Doe from a variety of different angles to try and explain what this album makes me feel.
