Heavy Metal History

October 1987 Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History.

October of 1987. A month that saw a monumental release from a band from Brazil, the legendary Sepultura, a band that defied geographical odds to get recognized in an American dominated genre up to this point.

Exodus falls in line with other legendary Bay Area thrash bands and released “Pleasures of the Flesh” an album and band that often gets overlooked in conversation about “big” thrash bands.

Finally a band that would have members who would all be legendary in their own right with a little help from Dave Mustaine, Sanctuary would prove to be the catalyst for the likes of Warrel Dane and Jeff Loomis.

Albums we discussed this week:

Sepultura - "Schizophrenia"
Exodus - "Pleasures of the Flesh"
Sanctuary - "Refuge Denied"

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History.

Me and Matt welcomed back a previous guest with Stavros Giannopoulos, guitar player and vocalist for The Atlas Moth. Since Stavros had been on before we took the first hour of the podcast to NOT talk about music and instead talk about all things comic books and Comic book films.

But we don't spend the whole episode doing so, the final hour me and Stavros get into the writing and recording of their new album "Coma Noir" to be released on Prosthetic records February 9th!

Show notes

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History.

Joining me this week on the podcast is Jamie Hanks, singer of the band I Declare War. Jamie came on to talk about a few records that started his metal journey, but the conversation quickly became a more deep, insightful thoughtful look into metal music as a whole. We discuss the harsh rigors of touring as well as recording when a band is basically living tour to tour.

Jon Leon (White Wizzard) Jan 07, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History.

In our first episode of 2018 I talked with Jon Leon, Bass player of the band White Wizzard. Jon came on to talk about their new record "Infernal Overdrive" which drops January 12th.

Jon also spoke at length about what the band was up to during the 5 year "hiatus" between records and what prompted bringing back original members as well as vocalist Wyatt "Screamin Demon" Anderson (who makes a brief appearance at the end) All this and more in this episode, and be on the listen to Jon's absolute crushing of all things hippie related. Its brilliant.

Thanks for listening!
