Episode 10 - 5/7/10

Good god, May already?

The hell with this, I'll play what I want! No themes this week, just solid metal that we're too impatient (or overdue) about playing.

This is also our 2nd-to-last show this season, so be sure that next week will kick ever the more ass. Consider this a warmup/warning.

Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck

Blind Guardian - When Sorrow Sang
Manowar - Outlaw

Brainstorm - Falling Spiral Down
Dio - Holy Diver

Iced Earth - Damien
Blind Guardian - Valhalla

Annihilator - King of the Kill
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave

King Diamond - A Mansion in Darkness

Rock on, you monsters.

We'll be back next week to burn this mother down. Tell your friends. Especially the weak-willed ones looking to find a new religion. We'll take good care of 'em.

Episode #8 - 4/23/10

"It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top." - Robert Lindner

Deus le Volt!* It was good enough in 1095, and it's good enough today. Anything for a nice bloody Holy War. Metal waxes philosophical, especially about religion, and especially about war.

I wonder if there's enough intersecting material for a show? If only...

Manowar - Holy War

Godgory - Holy War
Dragonland - Holy War

Detente - Holy War**
Blind Guardian - Another Holy War

Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Children of Bodom - If You Want Peace... Prepare For War

Epica - The Last Crusade [A New Age Dawns, Pt. 1]
Star One - Intergalactic Space Crusaders

Symphony X - The Walls of Babylon

Damnation, religion, salvation, fire and steel!

*Amazingly, there simply wasn't room for Angra's "Deus Le Volt/Spread Your Fire" leadoff combo from their Temple of Shadows album!

**We incorrectly reported this track as "Holy Wars" - thankfully, fate intervened in our own divine struggle, and Detente's song is, in fact, just called "Holy War"
