Episode 306 "Black Walls & William Hall" with Doug Kabourek
Happy Halloween! For this episode of Necronomicast, it is my pleasure to welcome back former co-host Doug Kabourek! Doug joins me for a highly spirited conversation centering on his new album released just in time for the Halloween season "Black Walls & William Hall". A complex and incredible musical tribute to the famed Omaha haunted house attraction "Mystery Manor" which was closed and demolished in 2024 after 40 years of delivering fun filled fright to the citizens of Omaha. We will sharing the track "Ambulance" from the album! From music journalist Tim McMahan: “The epic new album Black Walls and William Hall by Fizzle Like a Flood, a.k.a. Doug Kabourek, is more than a collection of songs; it’s the soundtrack to a horror-filled love story that has festered in Kabourek’s psyche for more than a decade. A kaleidoscope of noise, sound, samples and screams swirl into and around the record’s eight songs. The dense, layered production is sure to turn on fans of Flaming Lips’ adventurous soundscapes, while the rock songs provide the riffage and melodies to satisfy any true Weezer, Sebadoh or Beach Boys fan. Headphones are a must to capture Kabourek’s intricate, nuanced cacophony as well as to follow the narrative, which is nearly impossible without the lyric sheet printed on the album’s sleeve (hopefully he’ll be adding them to the Bandcamp liner notes). But with or without the words, the immersive audio experience is a hallucinatory thrill ride on par with the best haunted houses.” Together, Doug and I will recount the years we enjoyed creeping around the halls of Mystery Manor and explore the inspiration, writing, and recording of his celebrated new musical masterpiece!
