“It's been a while since we've been to a show together…” The STRAP IT DOWN Summer Tour kicks off on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring DOWN, HELMET, & SPIRIT IN THE ROOM, so naturally, we decided to engage in a little PRE-GAME preparation to get in the right headspace for the show. As you may recall, we last traveled to The Eastern back in 2024 when we saw King Diamond and Overkill, and the sound and layout of the venue made for one of the best concert experiences we've had in quite some time. Having said that, we are equally excited to get to see DOWN & HELMET on the first date of this tour at this venue as this show (and tour) promises to be one of the most crushing metal events of the summer. Always remember that when you're buying tour shirts to “get ‘em big, because when you do laundry, things shrink”. Find out who's getting the “hog slap” and discover which podcast makes “laying face down more enjoyable” when you JOIN US for the PRE-GAME show as we kick things off in preparation for the STRAP IT DOWN Summer Tour featuring DOWN & HELMET.

Let's face it… we all know that Dream Theater is a veritable cornucopia of guitar insanity. However, some of John Petrruci's riffs are so damned good that they rise above the rest. On this episode, we're each giving our lists of our top ten favorite DT guitar riffs!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity #guitar #metal#progmetal #riffs
Kayle's back from vacay just in time for our annual sometime-summertime listen to Dream Theater, 2019's Distance Over Time.
The conversation focused on the journey of the band Saviourself as they perform at the legendary Wacken festival. Reflections on unexpected opportunities, the significance of playing major festivals, and the evolving role of record labels set the stage for an in-depth discussion on the power of music, band dynamics, and personal stories.Main Topics CoveredThe evolution of Saviourself as a bandLanding a spot at major festivals like Wacken and ImpericonThe excitement and disbelief of being chosen for WackenThe experience of performing at Wacken for the first timeAspirations for playing on bigger stages and festivalsThe supportive role of modern record labelsMusical influences and the formation of personal identity through musicThe therapeutic value of music and festivals as escapeKey Discussions & StoriesThe band discussed a decade-long journey with varying lineups and a recent lull in live shows, followed by renewed momentum after signing with Corrupted Blood Records, opening doors to prominent festivals like Wacken and Impericon in Germany 00:31.One concept discussed was the overwhelming joy and disbelief upon learning they would perform at Wacken, a lifelong dream for both the Pipeman and the band members. Reactions included yelling in happiness and immediately reaching out to family to share the news 02:20, 02:37.The discussion explored the uniqueness of playing a first festival not just as a visitor, but as a performing artist, highlighting how surreal and thrilling the experience was 03:33.Several points were raised, including aspirations for performing on more prominent stages at future festivals and excitement for additional opportunities in the German and European music scenes 04:48.A key theme that emerged was the contrast between older, unsupportive record labels and the band's positive experience with Corrupted Blood Records, which has a modern, artist-centric approach 05:27.The conversation focused on musical style, describing a mix of modern and classic influences, out-of-the-box genre blending, and non-traditional elements like drum and bass and jungle 05:59.Band members shared personal stories of discovering a passion for music, starting with early guitar lessons encouraged by parents and solidified by exposure to heavy metal and nu metal bands like Metallica, Priest, Dream Theater, and Korn 06:53, 07:01.The discussion explored how music serves as a constant companion and source of therapy, outlasting other relationships and providing an emotional anchor 08:46.Festivals were described as sanctuaries from everyday stresses, fostering a sense of community and escape from negativity 09:04, 09:19.Notable Quotes"It's always been a dream of mine, definitely... that someone is coming up telling us you're going to play at Wacken, that was an unreal experience for us." 01:03"This is my first festival ever, not as a visitor, but as a musician. So I think that's even crazier." 03:49"They got like a very clear vision. They see like a niche in the market and they want to explore that." 05:28"Music's always gonna be around. Some people are gonna leave you, but music's always gonna be there for me." 08:46"It's a way to escape the harsh reality that is our world right now." 09:15Resources & Links MentionedCorrupted Blood Records: The band's label, providing opportunities to play major festivalsWacken Festival: Featured festival, most significant for the band's current breakthroughOther notable festivals referenced: Impericon, Rock am Ring, Hellfest, Grasspop, Download, BloodstockBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-adventures-of-pipeman--941822/support.Click Here to Subscribe for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS!Follow @pipemanradio on all socials & Pipeman Radio Requests & Info at www.linktr.ee/pipemanradioStream The Adventures of Pipeman daily & live Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 1PM ET on W4CY Radio & Talk 4 TV.

This week on Science Faction, summer is in full swing as the hosts swap stories about kids, water parks, drama camp, and surviving the relentless heat. From AI writing Firefox extensions and Apple's latest legal battle with OpenAI to why horror suddenly clicks for one of the hosts, the conversation bounces between technology, entertainment, and the strange ways artificial intelligence can make us more confident while making us less correct. Real Life Steven's household traded the Renaissance Faire for a visit from his nephew, which led to the realization that "boy energy" really is its own force of nature. While the kids spent the week at drama camp, thoughts turned to Shakespeare, with the conclusion that Romeo + Juliet would be vastly improved if Dream Theater handled the soundtrack. Book club is also gearing up for Macbeth, because apparently there's never a bad time for a little murder and prophecy. Ben has been embracing peak summer with trips to the water park, while Devon is trying to survive the brutal Texas heat. His family's solution? Buying an old-school lawn sprinkler so the kids could cool off the classic way. Once again, the phrase "boy energy" proves to be an unexpectedly recurring theme. Technology also found its way into everyday life. Ben explained how AI helped him build a Firefox extension that converts webcomics into CBZ files, explored locally running language models with OpenCode, and used AI to determine which models would best fit his hardware. In one particularly fitting moment, he asked an AI how to repair some aging Python code, only for it to recommend an existing Firefox extension that solved the problem entirely. The hosts also wondered who keeps naming Google's AI products after notebooks before discussing https://notebooklm.google.com/. The conversation then shifted to Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI over allegations of trade secret theft involving former employees. You can read more about the case here: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/apple-sues-openai-alleging-misappropriation-trade-secrets-court-records-show-2026-07-10/ Entertainment wrapped up the segment with Steven declaring that all five episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2 are absolute bangers, along with praise for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and a reminder that Assassin's Creed Origins includes one of gaming's coolest educational features: an interactive museum tour through ancient Egypt. Ben also celebrated the release of Heave Ho 2, while everyone wondered whether it's destined to become a terrible influence on Devon's kids. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2802740/Heave_Ho_2/ Future or Now The hosts somehow found themselves discussing more Game Changer chaos before moving into horror. Devon admitted that he may finally be developing a taste for the genre after watching Backrooms and Obsession, both of which started life as YouTube shorts before becoming full productions. He praised Backrooms for its eerie liminal-space atmosphere, while describing Obsession as a more traditional "be careful what you wish for" horror story. If you've been horror-curious but never quite crossed over, these might be good starting points. Ben then highlighted a fascinating study showing one of AI's biggest hidden dangers. Researchers found that people using AI assistance became three times less accurate while also becoming twice as confident in their answers. Even more striking, the willingness to simply admit "I don't know" dropped from 44% to just 3% when AI was available. It's a reminder that AI works best when treated as a helpful assistant—not an unquestionable authority. https://thenextweb.com/news/ai-advice-suppresses-critical-thinking-wrong-answers-study Finally, the crew couldn't resist talking about the newly revealed Star Trek crossover sets coming to Magic: The Gathering. Whether you're a Trek fan, a Magic player, or just someone whose wallet is already crying, the crossover looks like another ambitious mashup worth checking out. https://trekmovie.com/2026/07/18/magic-the-gathering-star-trek-sets-revealed-preorders-open-now/ Steven rounded out the week by admitting that, for once, he didn't have a specific science story to bring—which may have been the most surprising revelation of the episode.
En este nuevo capítulo de La Galería Nocturna, retomamos nuestras pláticas con el talento nacional para conversar con Miguel (vocalista) e Iván (baterista) de The Brain Rage. Originaria de Puebla, esta agrupación está redefiniendo el metal en México gracias a su potente mezcla de groove, progresivo, velocidad y la integración de elementos electrónicos. A lo largo de esta charla profunda, exploramos la evolución de la banda y los retos de hacer metal de calidad y de exportación. Durante la entrevista descubrimos el concepto detrás de su música, el cual inició abordando temas de protesta social, política y religiosa en su primer álbum llamado Control. Posteriormente, la banda decidió explorar de lleno los trastornos psicológicos en su segundo álbum de 2024, Mental, tocando temas como la piromanía en el sencillo "Ignite" y las adicciones en "Break it". De manera ingeniosa, al juntar el título de ambos trabajos, se revela el hilo conductor de la agrupación: "Control Mental". Al profundizar en sus influencias, Iván detalla cómo la genialidad de bateristas como Mike Portnoy y Bill Bruford inspiró composiciones épicas como "Deep Rest" y la incursión de texturas y baterías electrónicas. Por su parte, Miguel construye su estilo vocal y lírico basándose en leyendas tan variadas como Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Zack de la Rocha, Phil Anselmo y Joe Duplantier. Además, nos relatan la increíble experiencia de trabajar con el virtuoso tecladista Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater, Planet X), quien tras escuchar un demo, grabó todas las líneas de teclado de "Ignite" en cuestión de horas, abriéndoles la puerta a un sonido mucho más orquestal y dándoles una enorme exposición internacional. La conversación también aborda la cruda realidad de la escena metalera. La banda reflexiona sobre el doloroso fenómeno de ser más reconocidos y lograr recintos llenos en países como Costa Rica y Colombia que en su propio país, destacando al mismo tiempo la valiosa labor de promotores y colectivos como Mexapedia por apostar genuinamente por los circuitos nacionales ante la falta de espacios. A manera de consejo para las nuevas generaciones, Miguel e Iván comparten su filosofía de éxito: ver a la banda como una empresa, ser constantes, jamás faltar a los ensayos, cuidar minuciosamente la calidad del sonido en vivo y realizar grabaciones lo más profesionales posibles sin importar los recursos. Para finalizar, The Brain Rage nos adelanta que ya se encuentran trabajando en la composición de su tercer disco, el cual mantendrá un enfoque conceptual, y nos invitan a sus próximas presentaciones en el Brutal Fest de la Ciudad de México y en las ediciones del Mexafest en Jalisco, Puebla y Tuxtla. Como ya es costumbre, cerramos el episodio repasando nuestra inmensa agenda metalera con todos los conciertos y festivales que llegarán al país en los próximos meses.

Median valta, kaksinaismoralismi ja heikompien hyväksikäyttö, valehtelevat poliitikot, uskonto vallan välineenä… yhteiskunnalliset teemat ja hieno musiikki, kaikki se, mikä tekee Queensrychestä ainutlaatuisen. Queensryche toi kultakautenaan upean progressiivisen hevimusiikkinsa aiheiksi yhteiskunnallisia kysymyksiä ja ihmismielen syvimpiä virtauksia. Reidar Palmgren ja Sami Ruokangas pohtivat amerikkalaisbändi Queensrychen merkitystä itselleen ja rockmusiikin historialle. Kuuntele, viihdy ja sivisty.

The Star Wars watch order debate kicks things off (original trilogy only for Peter, release order for Eden), Eden defends Batman & Robin and F-Boy Island as unironically great, both agree the Beatles are played out, and they end on a shared appreciation for Alpha Centauri as the peak of the Civilization franchise.Show NotesWhat Eden's Been IntoK-pop roundup: LE SSERAFIM's new album, aespa's Lemonade LP, and ITZY's Motto EP (featuring solo tracks from each member)Reading: The web novel Long Awaited Feelings (1,900 pages about a woman who time-travels after her death) and rereading How Do We Relationship? (completed 14-volume yuri romance manga — "the best romance comic I've ever read")Games: Finished PowerWash Simulator (excited for the Star Wars DLC), played Loddlenaut (cute 5-hour pixel-art ocean cleanup game), and the Wuthering Waves x Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover eventWhat Peter's Been IntoDiablo 4: Finished the Vessel of Hatred campaign as a Warlock ("killing demons by summoning your own demons is a good time")Reading: 82% through Anji Kills a King by Evan Leikam (BookTuber debut from Tor) — enjoying it but struggling with the prickly protagonistMusic: New Khemmis self-titled album (Denver doom metal), Cult of Luna's new single "In the Shadow of Your Shadow" (album out November), and The Ocean's "Light Pollution" from upcoming Solaris — allaying fears after the post-Holocene lineup changeHot Takes — MoviesStar Wars watch order: Peter says 4, 5, 6 + maybe Rogue One, skip everything else. Eden says release order (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, Rogue One) to preserve cultural/historical contextEden defends Batman & Robin: "It's the second best Batman movie. George Clooney's a bad Batman, he's got nipples on the Batsuit, he's got the Bat credit card — it's great."Eden declares Saving Private Ryan a bad movie to the horror of everyone at the comic book shopBest Pixar: Eden picks Ratatouille (doesn't like most Pixar). Peter picks The IncrediblesCorrect max runtime: 90 minutes (Eden) vs 120 minutes (Peter) — anything longer needs to earn itSequel that's better: Peter says Captain America: Winter Soldier > First Avenger. Eden says Tokyo Drift is the best Fast & Furious movieCitizen Kane: Eden concedes it's the rare masterpiece that actually earns its reputation — a bunch of first-time filmmakers who didn't know the rulesHot Takes — TVShows that stayed too long: The Simpsons (Peter). Nearly every comedy past season 3 (Eden)Best series finale: M*A*S*H's "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" and Babylon 5 (Eden). Brooklyn 99 (Peter)Worst series finale: Battlestar Galactica (new) — "the most incomprehensible finale you'll ever watch" (Eden). Seinfeld (Peter)Reality TV worth defending: F-Boy Island — 24 guys, half are "nice guys" and half are fuckboys, the women pick, and the fuckboys can steal the $100k at the end. Nice guys get a villa; fuckboys get a literal prison camp on the beachAdult animation vs prestige drama: Eden says Bob's Burgers is the only good adult animation show right now. Prestige TV is in a nadir of expensive Game of Thrones clonesHot Takes — MusicNever need to hear again: The entire Beatles discography (both agree)Best decade by genre: 80s for rock/pop, 90s for alt, aughts for indie, right now for K-pop (Eden). 2010s for metal — the genre found its stride again after a grim 90s (Peter)Bands that should have stopped: Dream Theater after Awake (Eden). Opeth's last 15 years are all misses (Eden). Peter agrees on bothGreatest live album: Rush — Exit...Stage Left (Peter). The Bang on a Can recording of Terry Riley's In C (Eden — "the finest version I've ever seen")Albums > playlists: Both firmly team albums. Eden has a 16-hour "K-pop Brain Rot" playlist for shuffling, but that's the exceptionHot Takes — BooksAudiobooks = reading? Leans yes from both, but acknowledges the research is contradictory (small sample sizes, brain scan studies on both sides)E-readers vs physical: Peter goes digital 9 times out of 10 (lighter, portable, side-lit). Eden does physical for comics, e-books for prose (form factor matters less for text, but hates reading comics on a screen)Hot Takes — GamesFavorite game of all time: Mass Effect 2 (Peter — tighter gameplay than ME1, loyalty missions, assembling the crew). Doom (1993) (Eden — infinitely replayable with new WADs every day, nothing feels as fluid)Best console generation: Xbox 360 / PS3 era (both) — Halo 3 LAN parties, Gears of War couch co-op, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout 3/NV, Viva Piñata, and yes, Sneak KingOpen world vs linear: Both prefer a tight 20-hour experience over a 100-hour open worldFranchise that peaked early: Age of Empires II (Peter — nothing since comes close). And Eden's shitpost answer of the day: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is better than every Civilization game that came...
The scope of Kevin Moore's genius begins with Dream Theater's “Space-Dye Vest” and concludes with OSI's Fire Make Thunder. We try to use the g-word sparingly around here, but truly, Moore's singular artistic vision is something we attempt to hail and dissect here, for our 147th episode. Join us in celebrating this specific, singular talent. Note I: Hunter mentions “library music” in response to Chroma Key's music on the Graveyard Mountain Home album. You can learn more about library music here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_music Note II: The story we relate from Chris Warunki, at this end of this episode, about his very lucrative sale of Kevin Moore's pre-Chroma Key release, This is a Recording: Demos 1994-97, is given evidence here: https://www.discogs.com/release/4238872-Kevin-Moore-This-Is-A-Recording-Demos-1994-97 Note III: Jeff's Voivod book, ‘Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,' is now available. You can purchase a copy of the 540-page, 3-pound behemoth HERE: radicalresearch.org/voivod Note IV: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Peter Orullian, author of SONGS OF THE DEAD. About SONGS OF THE DEAD: When Jack Solomon, a struggling musician who works in London's West End, is killed, he awakens to a new reality in which light and music are used to create magic and where living eras of the past sprawl beneath modern London, layer upon layer, all the way back to recorded history. Jack also soon discovers that many of those who reside in the stratums of London's past have grown angry with the present world, and that their anger is being channeled by a powerful society of light-and-music-based magic wielders who can cross the realms between life and death, between the present and the past. A past where the dead are sowing revolution against the living, and all of history is at stake. About Peter Orullian: Peter Orullian is an American fantasy author, composer, and performer. As a musician, he has toured internationally—fronting various rock and metal bands—written and released multiple albums, and recently founded his own symphonic rock group, Symphony North, which focuses on building trans-media properties to combine music and narrative. The first of these, entitled The Bell Ringer, was recently released as a full concept album, and will embark on a US tour in holiday of 2026. The novelization of The Bell Ringer will release in tandem with the tour. As an author, Orullian has also novelized chart-topping concept albums for Grammy Award–winning metal giant Dream Theater. In 2012, he was shortlisted for the David Gemmell Morningstar Award. He has written numerous short stories as well as several other novels, including The Vault of Heaven, all of which use music as a driving force for worldbuilding and magical systems. Since 2018, he has been collaborating with Brandon Sanderson on developing and writing The Strata Wars series.

Queensryche toi kultakautenaan upean progressiivisen hevimusiikkinsa aiheiksi yhteiskunnallisia kysymyksiä ja ihmismielen syvimpiä virtauksia.

En esta entrega, JC y Perry cierran oficialmente la "Dream Manía" con un unboxing exhaustivo de las ediciones de lujo del último álbum en vivo de Dream Theater, grabado en París durante su gira de 40 aniversario. Revisamos a detalle todo el contenido: desde la versión en CD con Blu-ray hasta la presentación en vinilos de colores, analizando la calidad del material, el arte conceptual de los discos y dándole nuestra estricta calificación a la producción. Además, dedicamos un bloque para dar réplica a los comentarios y quejas que nos dejaron los fanáticos más sensibles tras nuestra polémica reseña del concierto en la Arena Ciudad de México. Leemos sus experiencias y abordamos temas importantes como las advertencias de estafas en el estacionamiento del recinto. También aprovechamos para hablar de la frustración actual al comprar discos físicos de importación debido a los problemas con las paqueterías. Para cerrar el episodio, repasamos la extensa agenda metalera de los próximos meses. Discutimos los conciertos imperdibles en México como Architects, Megadeth y el Knotfest, y compartimos los detalles de nuestros próximos viajes internacionales para ver a Metallica en Frankfurt y Las Vegas, así como nuestra cobertura del festival Aftershock en California.

¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo capítulo de La Galería Nocturna con JC y el Perry! En esta entrega de Ghost Prods desmenuzamos a fondo el reciente concierto de los gigantes del metal progresivo, Dream Theater, en la Arena Ciudad de México. Hablamos de lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo del show. Celebramos la gloriosa ejecución matemática de la banda, el esperado regreso de Mike Portnoy a los controles de la batería y la aplastante producción audiovisual que acompañó un gran setlist con joyas como Fatal Tragedy, Take The Time, Dark Eternal Night y A Change of Seasons, en su completitud. No obstante, no nos guardamos nada al criticar el caos logístico para entrar y salir del complicado recinto en Azcapotzalco, los pésimos servicios de alimentos y bebidas (¡te sirven refresco de una botella abierta!), y sobre todo, la experiencia del paquete VIP. Analizamos cómo este "Meet & Greet" terminó siendo una apresurada y restrictiva firma de autógrafos sin interacción real que dejó mucho que desear para los fanáticos. Además, nos adentramos en nuestra brutal agenda metalera para los próximos meses. Prepárate para enterarte de nuestros planes de viaje a Alemania y a La Esfera en Las Vegas para ver a Metallica, los detalles del supuesto último show de Megadeth en nuestro país, nuestro triplete de fechas con Iron Maiden (incluyendo el Álamo Dome en Texas), y lo que nos espera en festivales gigantescos como el Aftershock en Sacramento y el Knotfest. Si tienes una banda, eres productor, artista visual o tienes un proyecto relacionado con la escena metalera, ¡queremos conocerte! Manda tu portafolio o información a gost.pross@gmail.com para que podamos platicar con ustedes en el programa.

The boys chase hooks through naval gazing arrangements, briefly flirt with accessibility, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Dream Theater's unlikely hit, “Pull Me Under.” News items and digressions include Loudwire's claim that hair metal's biggest albums aren't its finest.
“I don't think I'm smart enough to listen to this…” As with the many legendary concept albums that have come before, masterpieces such as King Diamond's Abigail, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, and Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, the latest offering from OPETH, is one of the finest examples of storytelling ever captured in audio form and is their first proper “concept album” to date. “They cram so much into such a small space…” Chronicling the reading of the will of a wealthy patriarch (and featuring Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull as the patriarch in question), THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT perfectly represents the culmination of the various components that have established OPETH as a progressive metal force to be reckoned with for more than 30 years. “I realize this is not y'all's favorite flavor of the month…” With a seamless blending of their early progressive and melodic death metal period through their more eclectic, 70's prog rock infused progressive metal period of the 2010's, OPETH is akin to a “haunted house version of Dream Theater”, loaded with a wide variety of sonic textures, top tier instrumental prowess, and vivid lyrical imagery, all of which are covered in a thin drapery of darkness. “Have they ever done anything ‘hooky'?” JOIN US as we take on what is arguably one of the finest progressive metal concept albums in existence (and most certainly a top contender for “Album Of The Year”) and quite possibly the greatest OPETH album of all time, THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.

Before Operation: Mindcrime, there was this.Queensrÿche's 1984 debut The Warning is the album that almost didn't happen—at least not the way the band intended. While they were touring Japan, EMI executives remixed and completely rearranged their progressive metal masterpiece without permission, burying the band's weirdest, most ambitious material deeper in the tracklist. But even with corporate interference, The Warning stands as a pivotal moment in metal history: a Seattle band crafting something that sounded like nothing else in 1984, blending Iron Maiden gallops with Genesis-level prog complexity and Jeff Tate's otherworldly operatic vocals.In this episode, we break down why this debut matters—not just as a stepping stone to Mindcrime and Empire, but as a document of a band discovering their identity in real time. We debate whether it's a hidden gem or a rough draft, explore the label drama that reshaped the album's sequence, and dive into the tracks that reveal Queensrÿche's DNA: from the Maiden-esque power of “Deliverance” to the robotic sci-fi weirdness of “NM 156.” This is Double-A ball before the majors—you can see the talent, hear the potential, and witness five musicians isolated in Seattle creating something that would change progressive metal forever.If you love Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Fates Warning, or Dream Theater, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights0:00 – Intro: Poll results and how The Warning won the Metal Union vote5:23 – Album context: Queensrÿche in 1984—Seattle isolation and the progressive metal blueprint12:45 – “Deliverance” – The opening track that wasn't supposed to open the album18:32 – The EMI remix controversy: How the label rearranged the album while the band toured Japan24:15 – “NM 156” – The weird, jazzy, robotic prog odyssey that terrified record executives31:40 – Jeff Tate's voice at 24: Operatic range, theatrical character work, and why he's more than just “metal Bruce Dickinson”38:50 – “Take Hold of the Flame” – The anthem that hints at Operation: Mindcrime44:20 – Geography matters: Why being in Seattle (not L.A.) saved this band from breaking up51:10 – “Road to Madness” – Epic ambition or forced prog?

In Episode 314 of MSRcast, titled Never Stop Metaling, Cary the Metal Geek and Sean the Metal Pigeon dive headfirst into a packed discussion celebrating all things heavy! The duo breaks down the latest in the metal world, from the massive Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Anthrax tour announcement to Helloween's long-awaited return and Megadeth's bold cover of Ride the Lightning. They also share live concert reviews of Devo and The B-52s' eccentric tour and the powerhouse pairing of Judas Priest and Alice Cooper. Plus, they talk about Ozzy Osbourne's new book and look ahead to can't-miss upcoming shows like Death To All, Death Angel, and Omnium Gatherum. The conversation takes a deep and emotional turn as they explore the impact of Megadeth possibly ending their career — what that means for the future of thrash metal and how fans react when one of the genre's giants calls it a day. Rounding out the episode is a killer playlist featuring Unto Others, The Other, Wheel of Time, Memories of Old, Empire Drowns, Defecto, Nailed to Obscurity, Aephanemer, and Aedan Sky, along with what Cary and Sean have been spinning lately, including Lunatic Soul, Blood Sky, Dream Theater, Arouse the Darkness, Ulvehyrde, Psychonaut, and Galactic Empire.

Episode 092 is all about the underground, from sea to mighty sea; welcome MORiLLO and AIN'T SISTERS! Among my preferred dancefloor generals on the decks across the past decade, it's high time to tap in with The Dub Cartographer, global bass sorcerer MORiLLO down in L.A. Gov't name Zach Morillo, the Groundation drummer pulls double-duty as a dynamite producer-dj and modern-day dub maestro. My man was kind enough to share some stoke, perspective, co-conspirators, and crucial creative processes surrounding his intoxicating latest full-length release, and this exciting new collaborative chapter in an ever-evolving electronic dance music career. Listen to MORiLLO - The Dub Cartographer Get the 411 on Atlanta-based, SOSMP faves AIN'T SISTERS. Frontpersons Barb Carbon and Arrie Bozeman join the pod from the deep Southeast, an insightful, humorous, nostalgic chat to discuss their unique connection, band origin/journey, their music & message, and the incomparable energy native to the Spirit of Suwannee. Across the past few years, it's been recommended I check out this white-hot band of badasses in ATL, by way of numerous folks in the know. As such, it was hella cool to finally hear their colorful story, karmic chemistry, and punky alt-folk rock musical adventuring; reflections and recollections heard straight from the Ain't Sisters' mouths. 0:00 - ep.092 preview 3:00 - SPONSOR - Aaron Schwartz Art 6:20 - The Upful Update 10:10 - introducing MORiLLO 13:20 - INTERVIEW w/ MORiLLO [40min] 53:40 - introducing AIN'T SISTERS 56:30 - INTERVIEW w/ Barb and Arrie [46min] 1:42:30 - Afterglow x ViBE Junkie Jamz MORiLLO bio- With a desire to expand his opportunities across the music world, Zach moved to Los Angeles in 2012.
