I've complied a list of sites I visit regulary, podcasts I listen to, bands I like, and labels who put out great music. Basically, this section is where I hang out on teh Interwebs. This list will always be a work in progress.
EVIL IS NOT A PHILOSOPHY. IT IS NEITHER A MEANS NOR AN END. IT IS AN ATTITUDE AND A LIFESTYLE.
Make no excuses. Support no ideology. Never explain.
You're EVIL. Just do it.
The Department of Evil is a loose affiliation of podcasters, live DJs, concert photographers, a record label and an online magazine who all are passionate about supporting and promoting underappreciated music of the darker variety.
