The first episode of the podcast is an overall auditory and symbolic depiction of the general atmosphere and aesthetics of the Culling, it narrates a personal story through the titles of the tracks.
The selection is an assembly of ambient, cinematic, black metal, and noisy sounds that merge with techno and deconstructed rhythms as the set peaks.
The set is built circular( symbolizing being trapped in a vicious circle): it starts heavy and ambient, escalates to electronic beats, and then unfolds back to being noisy, ambient, and eventually, rock-ish when it reaches its end with the song The Culling, Chelsea Wolfe, the pillar track of the set.
