Dark Entries: Goth Radio

THE BEST OF 2021 - PART 3

Looking back at a lot of my favorite releases of last year has been loads of fun. I hate for it to come to an end with this episode, but I have a feeling some of the stuff I had to cut for time will make it into next week's show. I think I really finished strong with this episode though, and even took a detour into doom metal territory halfway in. Enjoy!

Here you go, folks. This one was made up of almost entirely new releases. I also got into a trick-or-treater related rant, and talked about my failed attempt at making a birthday cake (for myself) for the first time ever. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter to see the sad pics. Anyway, enjoy! 
*Quick note: At one point in the episode, I mention that Geordie Walker played with Trent Reznor, when in fact, I'm an idiot and was getting him confused with Jeordie White (aka Twiggy Ramirez). Walker is mostly known for his work with Killing Joke. Sorry!
