Podcasts about Blind Guardian

Welcome to another edition of the MHOD Jukebox, where the riffs are heavy and the commentary is heavier. On this episode, Mark Radulich, Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper, and Mik Wanamaker dive deep into the fuzzy, funk-laced world of Crobot!We kick things off with a blast of industrial groove from White Zombie, then take a quick stroll through Crobot's history—where they came from, what they sound like, and how they carved out their niche in modern rock. From there, it's on to their breakout hit “Low Life”, a full review of their latest album Obsidian, and a look at how it stacks up against past efforts like Welcome to Fat City.We also take a moment to reflect on key events from May 18th in metal history, including the passing of Chris Cornell and the legacy of Blind Guardian, Soulfly, and HammerFall.And because this is MHOD, you know it wouldn't be complete without a bit of black metal nonsense from Immortal, a detour into OnlyFans coaching, and a punchy closer from Five Finger Death Punch.Plug in and turn it up—this one's got riffs, laughs, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.White Zombie - More Human Than Humanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0E0ynyIUsgCrobot - "Low Life" Official Music Video (MOTHERBRAIN)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPi_SaFsMf8Crobot - Nothing (Official Music Video)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CKT3LXQKec&list=PLVPMBFr-dNGWxLvdFACIxmCLaMKnq0Q0B&index=15Immortal - Call Of The Wintermoonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9wFive Finger Death Punch - Jekyll And Hydehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCBPmxiVMKkMik Wanamakers Onlyfans: https://onlyfans.com/asirencreatesMark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

In dieser besonderen Perle der Woche ist Marcel Rapp, Chefredakteur von Powermetal.de und Host des Pommesgabel Podcasts, zu Gast bei Kai – und bringt nicht nur journalistische Kompetenz mit, sondern auch eine Extraportion Anekdoten. Gemeinsam lassen sie sich von einem Zufallsgenerator musikalischer Themen überraschen und landen direkt bei einer Frage, die nostalgischer kaum sein könnte: Welcher Song erinnert dich an deine erste Liebe?Was dabei herauskommt, ist eine charmante Mischung aus Blind Guardian, Wigfield, Tanzkurs-Momenten und persönlicher Offenheit. Zwischen Lachen und ernst gemeinter Reflektion entsteht ein Gespräch über Musik als emotionalen Speicher – und über all die kleinen Geschichten, die mit Songs verbunden sind.

Interview by Kris PetersIn just ten short years Melbourne musical powerhouse Valhalore have entrenched themselves as a vital cog in the growing Australian music industry, their unique blending of melodic death metal with power and symphonic elements - infused with folk influences - has resonated with audiences both domestically and abroad.Over the years they have toured with the likes of Alestorm, Arch Enemy, Blind Guardian and HammerFall, winning over legions of fans along the way with their attitude and work ethic. With the release of their sophomore album Beyond The Stars on April 11, Valhalore look set to expand their presence even more with a sound capable of transcending genres and sweeping all in its path.HEAVY spoke with frontman Lachlan Neate and guitarist Anthony Willis to get more details. We start by asking how they are feeling about the album release."Absolutely thrilled," Neate beamed. "After waiting four years to release this music, it's pretty surreal that we're finally near the finish line."We ask the guys to dive deeper into Beyond The Stars musically."In terms of the themes of the album, it describes a person's journey from the beginning of their life to the end," Willis explained. "Each song deals with the different highs and lows, ups and downs, different emotions that one would experience throughout their life. And each song represents those different moments. Then at the end of the album, the final song really deals with what happens to you after we die, and can we become something greater than ourselves?So in that regard, the album is a bit of a concept album, and it's cyclic. Each of the songs that we have written pertains to this journey of someone's life experiences."In the full interview, Lachlan and Anthony further explained that Beyond The Stars is a concept piece that reflects the emotional journey of a person's life, shaped significantly by the band's experiences during the pandemic. Anthony emphasized the importance of the album's track listing for creating a cohesive listening experience, while Lachlan noted that the writing process involved contributions from all six band members and the producer, marking a shift from their previous solo work. This collaborative effort has allowed the band to develop a unique sound that integrates diverse influences, enhancing their musical identity.Valhalore plan to promote the album with a series of four theatrical shows in May, starting in Sydney and Melbourne, where they will perform most of the new material alongside older songs. Lachlan expressed excitement about the production-heavy nature of the performances, aiming to provide an engaging experience for fans and more.Get Beyond The Stars here: https://valhalore.rpm.link/beyondprBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

In einem Land, in dem sich Dämonen und Zauberer die Klinke in die Hand geben, Zeitreisende das leichte Leben genießen und die Ironie des Schicksals ihre Hände gen Sonnenuntergang streckt, bis sich das Paradies offenbart, schufen ein paar britische Rocker ein Klangwerk voller Fantasie und Magie. 1972 erschien das 4. Album von Uriah Heep mit dem Titel “Demons And Wizards“. Kain Morgenmeer und Pint Eastwood sprechen fast 53 Jahre später über diese progressive Langrille. Zu welcher Erkenntnis kommen die beiden dabei? Wie wird die Zukunft? Was hat das mit Blind Guardian oder David Lynch zu tun? Fragen über Fragen und ein paar Antworten gibt es in Episode 75 der PLATTNEREI.

Voor alweer de zoveelste keer lieten de lezers van Zware Metalen massaal weten wat hun favoriete muziek van het afgelopen jaar was. De honderden ingezonden jaarlijstjes resulteerden wederom in een geslaagde editie van de meest autoritatieve en gerespecteerde toplijst der metalen wereld. Inderdaad, de ZM Jaarlijst! Die collectieve inspanning verdient uiteraard gedegen analyse van de meest autoritatieve en gerespecteerde podcast der metalen wereld. Inderdaad, Osmium! Wat is de impact van Blood Incantation's historische overwinning? Zijn de lezers van Zware Metalen jong of oud en hebben ze een voorkeur voor traditioneel of vooruitstrevend? Belangrijker nog dan de rangschikking van recent verschenen albums is de aanhangende verdeling van de Osmium Awards: prijzen van twijfelachtige statuur uitgereikt door een jury met dubieuze muzieksmaak. Het is alweer de vijfde keer dat dit gedaan wordt en dus is er sprake van een houten jubileum. Net als hout wordt er continu aan de categorieën van de Osmium Awards geschaafd, ditmaal met ondersteuning van luisteraars. Wie krijgt de felbegeerde "leuk geprobeerd" award? Wat was de urgentste ontwikkeling in de metalscene die Osmium compleet negeerde? Wie bleek helderziend? Welke seriemoordenaar roept regelmatig kwak kwak naar politie en slachtoffers? Het moge duidelijk zijn: de Osmium Awards blijven de leukste manier om de ZM Jaarlijst te verteren. Met beeldmateriaal van The View Photography en muziek van Aara.

In der neuen Folge MET & MOSHPIT begrüßen wir den Frontmann einer der erfolgreichsten deutschen Metalbands: Hansi Kürsch von Blind Guardian! Die meisten von euch kennen ihn natürlich schon längst, aber spätestens seit der unfassbaren Performance auf unserem Song “Finsterwacht” ist er auch allen anderen Saltatio-Fans ein Begriff.

The 1998 concept album Nightfall in Middle-Earth by Blind Guardian brings the epic scope of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to life through power metal. The album tells the tragic tales of elves, men, and gods embroiled in a war against the dark lord Morgoth, blending rich lyrical storytelling with complex arrangements, and finds a sweet spot between the technical skill of bands like Metallica and Helloween with the melodic bombast of Queen. Each track serves as a chapter in the larger saga, with both interludes and full songs capturing key moments via a variety of unique approaches. Mixing soaring vocals, symphonic elements, and Brian May-esque guitar riffage, the band create a sense of grandeur that mirrors the mythic subject matter.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Into The Storm 14:49 - A Dark Passage 19:42 - Nightfall 24:50 - The Eldar 34:08 - Thorn 38:53 - Mirror Mirror Outro - The Minstrel   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

This week we resume our examination of Night Demon's spring 2024 tour opening for Blind Guardian in North America.  The narrative picks up with show #4 in Atlanta, Georgia.  The guys talk about their history with tonight's venue, the famous Masquerade, and its various incarnations. On the day in question, Blind Guardian's bus broke down again, creating all sorts of logistical complexities and anxieties before the gig. Jarvis explains why this was a special show for him because of family's presence. After a mad dash to set up, the gig goes off without a hitch.  Band and crew celebrate at a daquiri bar across the street, where Jarvis unintentionally becomes a focal point at a karaoke contest.  Then the attention turns to the long drive to Dallas, Texas for the next show.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

On the Scars and Guitars new music show for June 2024, we kick things off with Bruce Dickinson's "Resurrection Men" from The Mandrake Project and then move into Apocalyptica's rendition of "The Call Of Ktulu," featuring Cliff Burton from their album Apocalyptica Plays Metallica, Vol. 2. Ghost brings us "The Future is a Foreign Land" from the soundtrack RITE HERE RITE NOW: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK, followed by Simone Simons with "In Love We Rust" from Vermillion. Michael Schenker's "Mother Mary," featuring Slash and Erik Grönwall, from My Years With UFO, provides a hard-hitting edge, while Cavalera's "From the Past Comes the Storms" from Schizophrenia takes us deeper into the realm of classic extreme metal. Skid Row's live performance of "Slave To The Grind" from Live In London and White Stones' "La Ira" from Memoria Viva, led by Opeth's Martín Méndez, continue to elevate the energy. Zeal & Ardor's "Fend You Off" from GREIF and Korpiklaani's "Harhainen Höyhen" from RANKARUMPU showcase unique and powerful sounds. Athena XIX reunites with front-man Fabio Lione for "The Conscience Of Everything," The Eternal delivers "Deathlike Silence" from Skinwalker, featuring Amorphis members Jan Rechberger and Niclas Etelävuori. We then feature tracks like 96 Bitter Beings' "Tripled Manic State" from "Return to Hellview" and Arka'n Asrafokor's "Walk With Us" from Dzikkuh, blending intense metal with African traditions. Higher Power collaborates with Never Ending Game on "Stillpoint," while Shun presents "Drawing Names" from Dismantle. Qaalm's "First Light of the Last Dawn" from their EP of the same name and another live track from Bruce Dickinson, "Afterglow Of Ragnarok," continue to diversify the playlist. Curse Upon A Prayer's "Black Venus Erotica" from The Worship: Orthoprax Satanism and Eternal Drak's "Haunting Place" from Imprisoned Souls add a darker tone. Nighthämmer's "Land Of Fear," Paradise In Flames' "I Feel The Plague" from Blindness, and Maudissez's "Fracture Par Fracture" maintain the intense atmosphere. Hässlig's "Apex Predator", Ancient Entities' "Pierced by Obsidian" from Echoes of Annihilation, and Bleed From Within's single "Hands of Sin" keep the momentum going. We also have Cabal's "Sort Sommer" featuring FABRÄK, Crypt Crawler's "The Immortal Realm," and Fleshgod Apocalypse's "Bloodclock" from Opera. Obscene's "The Reaper's Blessing" from Agony & Wounds, Octoploid's "Human Amoral" from Beyond The Aeons, and The Black Dahlia Murder's "Aftermath" from Servitude provide more brutal sounds. Morgue Meat's "Lesser Key Of Solomon" from Apocalyptic Visions, Traumatomy's "Womb Of The Desecrated" from Triumph of Enslavement, and Clan dos Mortos Cicatriz's "Flores cortadas, machado na pele" from Débil continue to push the envelope. Nails' "Imposing Will" from Every Bridge Burning, "Cavalera's "Nightmares Of Delirium" from "Schizophrenia," and from Saudi Arabia, Dune bring "Insidious" adding international flair. We wrap up with Exodus' live track "Piranha" from British Disaster: The Battle of '89, Blind Guardian's revisited "The Quest For Tanelorn," Orden Ogan's "The Order Of Fear," Chris Slade's "Back With A Vengeance" from Timescape, and another live performance by Bruce Dickinson with "Abduction" from The Mandrake Project.

Blind Guardian's "Nightfall in Middle-earth" is a concept album based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion". I explore the lyrics of each track and explain how they relate to Tolkien's work. I provide background information about events, characters, and the Legendarium as I progress through the entire album track by track. I started writing about Tolkien's Legendarium in 2017 and created a YouTube channel called "The Red Book" in 2021, allowing me to dive into Tolkien's mythology. I now have a channel under my own name and if you wish to support my ongoing project, please visit my channel or even support through Patreon.
