Ep 234 - Gothy-ish, Doom-metally, Darkwave-like and Mary Ann Cotton

Send us a text

Welcome to another week of the highs and the lows, the good and the bad, and the Nerd and the Murd.

This week on Nerdery and Murdery, Zig explores the darker side of music with a deep dive into gothy-ish, doom-metally, darkwave-inspired sounds. From brooding atmospheres to heavy emotional weight, we talk about what defines these genres, why they resonate with so many listeners, and how darkness in music can be just as expressive as light.

Then in the Murdery segment, Geoffrey covers the chilling story of Mary Ann Cotton, one of history’s earliest and most disturbing serial poisoners. It is a case rooted in deception, tragedy, and the slow unraveling of a horrifying pattern, told with care and historical context.

Moody music. Dark history. One unforgettable episode.
