This week, Sam is broadcasating from darkened cathedral. Join him as he bumbles through a lo-fi essay on thoughts and his research on trv, kvlt black metal lo-fi-isms.

Is the crapness of his recording and production due to budget and laziness, or is he being kvlt? Plus, a load of samples from the world of early 90s death and black metal. They say you ruin a joke by explaining a joke, so Sam tries to ruin kvlt by explaining kvlt.
