Revolution, rebellion or as i keep saying evolution this weeks episode is a ramble about all three in modern music i may say some disparaging things about Hippies but you will forgive me for being a little flowery in my prose. I did record this with a slight head cold so if i go off on a tangent more then i usually do please forgive me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shuffling music on sacred albums is quite possibly one of the hardest things i have undertaken for this show here i try 3 of the albums i know so well and find out that its very obvious what genres reflect badly on pressing Shuffle and one Album that brought me to tears.

This one is a double tea bag episode for me as this album really takes you on an emotional rollercoaster its heavier more intelligent and so much more textured then your usual Black Metal fare. I ramble in the first part as always and then in part 2 i feel i really hit the nail on the head when it comes this album and all its details. Come let me know what you think at here is the Metal Roos review for you to enjoy as well https://metal-roos.com.au/crypta-echoes-of-the-soul-album-reviews/ https:...

This weeks episode was a little shambolic in parts due to me being under the weather and my darling cat having to be part of the show, I also had some computer issues but apart from that, the episode is an emotional run through the latest release of giants of the extreme metal world Venom.Inc If you feel brave enough here is the links for an interview i had with Tony Dolan before the launch of the album ( excuse my mic it for some reason failed and that why i bought a new one https://www.faceboo...

Part 3 of this 4 part mini series on the mighty Black Sabbath has now come round to my Sabb everyone has their own period and album from the lords of darkness. And this one is mine i make no bones that this one might be a little biased but hey at least i'm honest about it. I got to full fill a life long ambition by interviewing Tony Martin a few months back for his new album Thorns. But as i do it went on for a good hour and we covered a lot of Sabbath era stuff mostly Headless Cross and TYR. He...

Come with me on my journey through the heavy side of Italian horror and the craziness of soundtrack collecting. My journey has been long and exciting and it all started it the 70's when i visited Dark They Where And Golden Eyed to the original Forbidden Planet in Denmark Street. Exciting journeys into film madness with my brother. Horror movies have always been part of my life and heavy metal and heavy themes are always linked from the crazy Video nasties to the weird and wacky and nasty Italian...

Come with me and hear why i think the new WITCHERY album is a modern day blackened thrash album that is a prog rock wonder and a new twist on the concept album Its deliciously free from the constraints of modern metal but with heaps of groove laden moments and some of the best industrial and Doom punctuations of the last few years. https://www.facebook.com/HeavyMetalTones Hosted on Acast.
