This next post is about Viking combat...

Well, that's what I would be saying if I was Sudbury, Ontario's black/folk inspired metal band, Wolven Ancestry. Sadly, this is not the case. They did, however, play a killer show with Averse Sefira, Nachtmystium, Goatwhore and oh yes, 1349. More on that later.

The Gene and Mike Show fans, you are in severe danger... of becoming the best damn podcast/blog aficionados around for putting up with our most recent and lengthy absence. If this undertaking ever needed an indication of its casual nature, I would turn to our frequent sabbaticals. A fearsome combination of Street Fighter, metal and heavy schooling has kept us at bay. Naturally, we were demoralized and ill-prepared for the whimsical world of podcasting (note the alliteration). Then came along this glorious long weekend beginning with the aforementioned show (expect in-depth coverage next episode and pictures soon), and then a questionable UFC experience. There is much to be discussed and with free time oh so poetically slipping through the hourglass again, an episode is in order. A recording attempt will be made today. I don't feel I'm at liberty to go any further than "attempt" considering our bounty of failed "attempts."

...attempt

Yep, this podcast business sure has taken a backseat and I'm afraid it will take a reinvigorating summer experience to bring it back to its former glory (not that far away!). However, we do plan to put up a valiant effort for this next episode. After all, our one year anniversary is just around the corner. Presents are of course, expected!

Still waiting on that Hellfire,
Mike
