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.

Vi er i 1991 og den tunge rock trækker i flere nye retninger, mens den traditionelle metalmusik og poppede puddelhunds-heavy stadigvæk hitter lidt endnu, så lyt endelig med på dette andet afsnit af podcastserien “Det tunge stedbarn: Heavy metal-genren i 90'erne”, hvor studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen guider dig gennem 1991 sammen med vores velkendte studiegæster Steffen Jungersen, Michael Stützer Hansen og Michael Denner. Nedslagspunkter: - Metallicas femte album “Metallica”, bedre kendt som “The Black Album”, grovhitter med en mesterlig produktion og fængende skæringer som “Enter Sandman” og “Nothing Else Matters”. Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer bedømmer. - To dage inden udgivelsen optræder Metallica som support for AC/DC ved Monsters of Rock-koncerten på Gentofte Stadion i København. Vi mindes denne historiske koncert og klasse-showet med Judas Priest, Pantera og Annihilator i KB Hallen i januar ‘91. - Artillery optræder på sommerens Roskilde Festival, men er ellers på vej i opløsning. Til gengæld rumsterer nye bands som Invocator, Konkhra, Illdisposed og andre tiltag i den danske metal-underground. - Seje svenske metal-debuter i flæng fra Edge of Sanity, Grave, Therion og Unleashed, samt nye udspil fra Meshuggah og Bathory. Og, ikke mindst, et dunkelt debutalbum fra norske Darkthrone. - Der er sygt gang i den globale death metal i 1991: fra de hollandske debutanter Asphyx og Gorefest, over tyske ditto Morgoth til schweiziske Coroner. I New York albumdebuter Immolation og Suffocation, mens fødestedet Tampa, Florida byder på nyt fra Atheist, Death og Morbid Angel. - Der er også innovativ metal fra canadiske Voivod og lige-på-og-hårdt thrash fra brasilianske Sepultura. - Man fornemmer visse groovy tendenser og lidt sjov & ballade på den amerikanske metalscene i disse år; blandt andre fra sideprojekterne Infectious Grooves og Mr. Bungle og fra trioen Primus, samt i den mere alvorlige ende, Mindfunk og C.O.C. - Nye bands med nye tilgange til (hård) rockmusik: The Smashing Pumpkins, Mudhoney og Temple of the Dog. - Seattle-scenen eksploderer i efteråret 1991 med Pearl Jam-debuten “Ten”, Nirvanas andet album “Nevermind” og Soundgardens ditto “Badmotorfinger”. Steffen Jungersen skuer tilbage til disse banebrydende bands og på det paradigmeskifte, som de skabte. - Black Sabbath inspirerer igen-igen: ikke bare ovennævnte Soundgarden, men også album debutanterne Kyuss og især Cathedral; samt især-især de mere prøvede Trouble, hvor producer Rick Rubin får afløb for sine Sabbath-lyster, mens hans AC/DC-kærlighed genlyder hos The Four Horsemen. - Skid Row finder sig selv på deres andet og meget metalliske album “Slave To The Grind”, og baner dermed en sikker vej til Steffen Jungersens heavyhjerte. Samme Jungersen mener til gengæld, at Guns N'Roses skulle have holdt sig til “35 fede minutter” frem for de facto dobbeltalbummet “Use Your Illusion I og II”. - Vi kigger lidt i krystalkuglen, og ser nogle ret syrede sanger- og bandkonstellationer i fremtidstågerne, men anno 1991 er Axl Rose stadigvæk i Guns, Blaze Bayley i Wolfsbane, Ricky Warwick i The Almighty, John Corabi i The Scream, Ian Astbury i The Cult og John Bush i Armored Saint. - Jo, også her var Black Sabbath selvfølgelig forløberne, men der er en ny gotisk metal-lyd på vej fra bands som Paradise Lost, Solitude Aeternus og Type O Negative. - 1991 var også traditionel heavy metal, power metal, prog metal og endda folk metal. Blandt andet med album fra Armored Saint, Iced Earth, Fates Warning, Skyclad, Helloween, Rage og Metal Church. - Vores studiegæst Michael Denner og hans guitarmakker Hank Shermann genfinder samarbejdsformen i Zoser Mez, hvis album bliver en realitet, da Hank Shermann sælger sin elskede bil.

Bringing The Darkness To The Light with Catherine Nadal Guest, Mark Zonder In this insightful interview, Mark Zonder, the legendary drummer of Warlord and Fates Warning, discusses the band's 1980s origins, his transition into a successful studio owner, and the emotional drive behind keeping Warlord active following the passing of co-founder Bill Tsamis. The conversation highlights the band's uncompromising musical philosophy and their highly anticipated return to North American stages. The Genesis of Warlord and the Legacy of Bill Tsamis Mark Zonder recounts the early 1980s formation of Warlord alongside the late Bill Tsamis. The duo spent their formative year jamming in a freezing, stone-walled automobile bay to develop a signature sound that blended the influences of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Uriah Heep. Despite the hardships of the "Warlord Manor" era—including a revolving door of singers and financial instability—Zonder and Tsamis maintained a relationship built on total mutual respect and a shared vision. Following Tsamis's passing nearly five years ago, Zonder has committed to fulfilling Bill's final wish: to keep the music alive through live performances that honor the original compositions. From Rehearsal "Dump" to Professional Studio Zonder's career is marked by a shrewd transition into the business side of music. He transformed a dilapidated 6,000-square-foot building in North Hollywood into a premier recording facility. Originally a rehearsal hub for iconic 90s acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alanis Morissette, the studio eventually evolved into a specialized 10-room complex catering to rap, hip-hop, and R&B production. This "golden goose" has provided Zonder with the financial independence to pursue his musical passions without relying on session work, allowing him to maintain the integrity of his creative output. Musical Evolution and Iconic Tracks The interview explores the meticulous craft behind Warlord's discography. Zonder highlights "Lucifer's Hammer" as the band's definitive opener, noted for its powerful nuclear-themed lyrics and theatrical intro. He also discusses "Aliens," a track that demonstrated the band's progression toward a "heavy pop" structure. Zonder emphasizes the band's dedication to authenticity, such as recording the sound of real plates being smashed at a high-end studio rather than using digital samples. Throughout their history, the focus remained on the composition itself, treating the vocals as a melodic instrument rather than a vehicle for rockstar ego. The 2026 North American Tour Warlord is set to return to the stage with a lineup that bridges the gap between the band's "old guard" and youthful energy. Featuring vocalist Giles Lavery, the current iteration of the band focuses on delivering "note-for-note" performances to satisfy long-time fans. Zonder expresses excitement for the upcoming North American tour—the band's first in the U.S. in two decades—viewing it as a celebration of the music that fans have cherished since their high school days. Warlord remains a testament to the enduring power of high-quality songwriting and professional respect. By balancing a successful business in the modern recording industry with a deep commitment to the band's 80s roots, Mark Zonder ensures that the "Darkness" of Warlord continues to find its way into the "Light" for a new generation of fans.
Liege Lord have been active since the early '80s, performing their brand of traditional heavy metal, with their first album, Freedom's Rise, released in 1985.

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?

Born in the shadows of a slanted farmhouse outside Vancouver, SYRINX is a heavy metal/progressive rock collective led by guitarist, producer, Graham McGee. Known for their theatrical flair and cerebral songwriting, the band delivers a fresh and unique blend of oldschool heavymetal and classic prog wizardry — echoing the likes of Rush, Genesis, Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, and Judas Priest.SYRINX began over a decade ago when McGee met powerhouse vocalist Jean-Pierre Abboud (JP) during a wild 30-date Canadian tour with their former band Funeral Circle. When that group folded, the two set their sights on a more expansive sonic path — moving away from gothic and occult themes into deeper, more musically daring territory. From this shift, SYRINX emerged. After their first two releases in 2019 and 2020, SYRINX went dormant as McGee battled a severe case of Lyme disease, stepping away from music entirely. But the silence didn't last. Returning with renewed fire, McGee unexpectedly linked up with drummer Seth Lyon—whose precision, creativity, and shared love of odd time signatures (and black coffee... and Rush) sparked an instant chemistry. In the foothills of the Pacific West Coast mountains, SYRINX breathed again.Official Links:Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/SYRINXOFFICIALMEtal Archives: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Syrinx/3540450680Passionate about metal?

This was an unplanned conversation about an unplanned, unexpected, shocking event in our lives. It's just Hunter and I talking about a dear friend that recently passed, one of our own leaving earthly bonds. And in our reveries and remembrances we left out so much: Tom Hailey was the beer/wine buyer at the Raleigh Whole Foods and held that position for many years there, beloved by the entire staff. He had a college radio metal show where he adopted the persona of The Unholy One and spoke to (no, COMMANDED!) his audience in a John Tardy-like roar. We also failed to mention the time Hunter and I, in 2019, listened to Voivod's Nothingface with Tom, all of us air drumming, air guitaring, air bassing and singing every bit of it, all the way through……these and many more memories only scratch the surface of our friend Tom and why we're going to miss him so damn much. Note I: CLOVER CAT RESCUE donation link: https://tinyurl.com/donate-CCR Please note "In Memory of Tom Hailey" when you give or VENMO @clovercatrescue Note II: We think Tom would be amused by the gaff of a gaff Hunter makes when talking about post-Confessor bands.

When God decides to record his first metal album, he will be disappointed to remember that Obliveon already recorded its masterpiece, Nemesis, in the Year of Our Lord, 1993. On its latest episode, Radical Research conducts a much-belated investigation of the first two albums by Montreal's most underrated sons, Obliveon. In the early '90s, the band treated a small-but-fanatical audience to highly-advanced, cutting edge, cosmic death thrash in the forms of 1990's From This Day Forward and the aforementioned Nemesis. Still unsung after all these years, Radical Research is here to set the record straight and shed light on one of underground metal's true greats. Note I: The “pointless, ridiculous 7 inch" Hunter mentions in this episode is this one, a Coroner covers split between his band, Canvas Solaris, and our phurry phriends phrom Pharaoh: https://www.discogs.com/release/2586288-Pharaoh-6-Canvas-Solaris-Tribute-To-Coroner Note II: Speaking of covers: Jeff mentions Agoraphobic Nosebleed's cover of Voivod's “Forgotten in Space.” He says the cover if about 6 minutes long, but it's actually a shorter 3:48.

My guest for this episode is Warlord and former Fates Warning drummer Mark Zonder, who was kind enough to talk to me about A-Z's sophomore album, A2Z2, which dropped June 6 on Metal Blade Records. A-Z provides catchy and accessible hard rock music that's a bit more adventurous than your typical AOR fare. The band is made up of accomplished musicians and they just flat out rock. The band's second album has more bite and has more progressive elements than the debut, as A-Z continues to define its sound. Big thanks to Mark for telling me about his musical background, playing in Fates Warning, forming A-Z and more. Learn more about A-Z at www.a-zband.com or follow them on Facebook.

We're incorrigible Genesis fans. We hail every bit of output from 1970 to 1978. We even go further than that. But here, for episode 127, we stop and lovingly gaze at the band's final album of the '70s, the first after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, and a work that some mark as the band's departure from prog rock. Not so, say we! Spectral, ghostly, gauzy, playful, lush as all get-out...and total prog.

For our 126th episode, Radical Research travels to the farthest reaches of our favorite country and we do so with a rare companion, Agalloch lynchpin, John Haughm. In this episode, we dive into the discography of Thule, a progressive rock band that defies the rules of progressive rock. Dark, nocturnal, frozen, magical - Thule's seaborne prog offers the listener glimpses into forbidden worlds. We hope that this episode will seduce you into taking the risk that is well worth the reward. Note I: We were stoked as hell to have Agalloch's John Haughm with us for this episode. As such, we go on even more tangents than when we get up to that nonsense when left alone. So, tangents on Emperor, on Genesis, on ZZ Top, and on much more as we trawl the murky, exotic waters of Thule. Note II: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

What started as a joke ("send us a $10,000 donation and we'll do an episode on Bathory's disasterpiece flop, 'Octagon'!") Well, we wondered what that kind of episode would be like, so we decided to just chat about it and see what happened. No big plan, no huge overarching analyses...just a little walk through the ugly, clattering eighth album by a man and band we absolutely worship. We count 'Octagon' as one of the worst two albums ever released by a legendary band...the other one, 'St. Anger' by Metallica, is even worse than this. Note I: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage. We are offering tiered subscription levels for those who want a set-it-and-forget-it donation option.

As Hunter so aptly calls it early in this short episode: “Fiend for Blood is an EP that is in the process of dying.” After the classic Mental Funeral of 1991, Autopsy released the Fiend for Blood EP as its follow-up. Those who were there in 1991 would have already recognized Mental Funeral as a towering achievement of death metal and, indeed, time has proven us right on that score. But Fiend for Blood impressed less. It was even more garage-y, it was a mere 12 minutes, and, at first, it felt like a mere afterthought. In the thinking of at least one Radical Research host, however, it is the band's second-best recording in their entire discography. We discuss this 12-minute EP in…well, a few more than 12 minutes.

Jeff: “Was talking with my friend S. Craig Zahler a few days ago, and we were discussing Sarcofago's 1987 debut, I.N.R.I. Zahler noted that there are some bewildering timing issues in 'Nightmare,' and how he'd like Hunter ('who is 20 times the drummer I am') to try and identify what the hell's going on. I put this quandary/query to Hunter and let ‘er rip.” Note I: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

This episode brings to a close our periodic investigations of the Steven Wilson-curated 'Intrigue' compilation. Covering progressive sounds in UK alternative/post-punk music from 1979-89, 'Intrigue' nails its intention, proving that, while traditional prog rock may have waned in the '80s, that spirit of adventure and invention remained alive through the work of dozens and dozens of UK music-makers in this time period. This episode focuses on Kate Bush, Dif Juz, Cardiacs, Dead Can Dance, SLAB!, Momus, No-man and a host of others.

This episode brings to a close our periodic investigations of the Steven Wilson-curated 'Intrigue' compilation. Covering progressive sounds in UK alternative/post-punk music from 1979-89, 'Intrigue' nails its intention, proving that, while traditional prog rock may have waned in the '80s, that spirit of adventure and invention remained alive through the work of dozens and dozens of UK music-makers in this time period. This episode focuses on Kate Bush, Dif Juz, Cardiacs, Dead Can Dance, SLAB!, Momus, No-man and a host of others.
