The Metal List

No, no, no...we're not talking about the local bar band burning through Paranoid every weekend. We're not talking about the kids fumbling the main riff in Iron Man, while playing Madison Square Bedroom. We're talking big bands, doing big cover songs, and paying their respects to the Godfathers. - Whether it was your introduction, or rekindling your love for the band, we've all heard a Sabbath cover...which ones stand out to you? Which are your favorites? Let us know at our LinkTree or email us at metallistpodcast@gmail.com - Theme Song: Godhammered - https://linktr.ee/Godhammered

BLOOD IS FOREVER - LOVE IS FOREVER

Gunter gleiben glauchen globen. We're talking about the NWOBHM legends, Def Leppard! You read that right...forgotten by too many, this band was around, and heavily involved in, that magical time that was defining the term "Heavy Metal". Granted, they've given us more than enough reason to forget that over the years, but still...they are not to be slept on in that regard. - Let us know your faves at: https://linktr.ee/MetalListPodcast - Musical Guest: Difficult Henry - Rapture - Theme Song: Godhammered https://linktr.ee/godhammered

One of the absolute best supergroups ever, yet still massively underrated - Sanders, Puciato, Cavalera, and Koller...unreal.

We're kicking off our Metalcore Essentials with one of the most underrated, yet critically acclaimed albums of the 2000's...The War Within by Shadows Fall. From Bittner's power packed drumming, to a trip to Riff City with Bachand & Donais, to Romanko's space filling Bass treks, and let's not forget the tasty solos and Fair's unhinged, lion-esque roar. The proficiency displayed in this album is flat out incredible, and that includes the songwriting as well. We're doing this commentary style, so follow along, visualize in your head, or push pause and listen to each song. However you'd like to join, we're hitting play in 3...2...1...
