Winter is coming and so we're dragging you down into the murky depths of doom with a look at Ancient Dreams, the third slab of heaviness from Candlemass.

Welcome back, headbangers! This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we're diving into the crushing debut from one of thrash metal's most underrated pioneers - Metal Church's self-titled 1984 album.Emerging from the fertile metal scene of Aberdeen, Washington, Metal Church burst onto the scene with a raw intensity that bridged the gap between traditional heavy metal and the emerging thrash movement. The powerful vocals of David Wayne, whose distinctive high-pitched screams became a hallmark of their sound.The album's nine tracks showcase a band already confident in their musical vision - from the epic opener "Beyond the Black" to the menacing "Merciless Onslaught." Lyrically, Metal Church tackled themes of apocalyptic destruction, societal collapse, and religious hypocrisy - perfectly complementing their aggressive instrumental attack.What sets this debut apart is its technical precision coupled with an unrelenting heaviness. Dual guitarists Craig Wells and Kurdt Vanderhoof delivered intricate riffs and blistering solos while the rhythm section of bassist Duke Erickson and drummer Kirk Arrington maintained a thunderous foundation throughout.Often overshadowed by their more commercially successful peers, Metal Church's debut remains a testament to the raw power and innovation of early American metal. Join us as we celebrate this thrash classic, track by track, and explore how it influenced generations of metal acts to follow.www.patron.com/heavymetaltones Hosted on Acast.
