This week, the lads hop across the pond to continue excavating denim and leather. It's all about the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal! The NWOBM movement was filled with passionate bands that were poised to take over the world. Unfortunately, most of them didn't make it to the level of Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, or Saxon. Hopefully, we can help spread the word and sounds for those who didn't. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the LOST. For such a small island, they sure had a lot of amazing bands that set the standards for what is known as heavy metal. From the music, to the fashion, to the attitude… Over 45-years ago, these bands started an underground movement that would change hard rock and metal forever. Songs this week include: More – “Warhead” from Warhead (1981) DEMON – “Night Of The Demon” from Night Of The Demon (1981) Grim Reaper – “Run For Your Life” from See You In Hell (1983) Bronz – “Heat Of The Night” from Taken By Storm (1983) Witchfynde – “Give ‘Em Hell” from Give ‘Em Hell(1980) Marseille – “Rock You Tonight” from Marseille (1979) Aragorn – “Black Ice” from The Neat Singles Collection Vol. 1 (1981) Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!:InObscuria Store Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://x.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/
When an Australian thrash band that never broke big in the U.S. gets compared to early Metallica, Slayer, and Maiden in the same breath, you know you've stumbled onto something special. This episode dives into Mortal Sin's 1986 debut Mayhemic Destruction—a ferocious, drum‑heavy, DIY thrash record from Sydney that plays like a missing puzzle piece in 80s metal history.Across the conversation, the hosts unpack how Mortal Sin emerged out of Australia's pub‑rock and Buffalo‑style heavy scene into a faster, more aggressive sound after drummer Wayne Campbell discovered Metallica through tape‑trading in 1984. They trace the band's rapid rise from self‑funded studio upstarts to landing a global deal, touring with Metallica, Megadeth, and Testament, and struggling with that classic “too big for pubs, too small for arenas” problem back home. Along the way, they dig into the band's revolving‑door lineup, eerie mystery around the original drummer's disappearance, and the evolution of Mortal Sin's sound across later records.Musically, the episode zeroes in on what makes Mayhemic Destruction such a compelling outlier in 80s thrash. The drums and low end dominate the mix in a way that completely inverts the American template, forcing listeners to dig for the guitars and exposing a strange, rewarding hybrid of thrash, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, power metal, Motörhead grit, and proto‑death‑metal experiments on the title track. There's plenty of love for the riffs, time‑changes, and dark modal choices in songs like “The Curse” and “Lebanon,” but also honest criticism of the limited, Hetfield‑ish vocal approach and the odd sequencing choices that bury some of the strongest material in the back half.If you're into 80s thrash metal, early Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, NWOBHM, or obscure Australian metal bands that never quite got their due, this deep dive into Mortal Sin and Mayhemic Destruction is absolutely in your wheelhouse. It's a conversation about more than one album—it's about how geography, timing, and weird production decisions can turn a record into a cult artifact waiting to be rediscovered.Episode Highlights0:00 – Mayhem from Sydney – Setting up Mortal Sin, Mayhemic Destruction, and why this Australian thrash debut matters in the 80s metal landscape.5:05 – Battle jackets and logos – Gavin's origin story with Mortal Sin via patches, Kerrang! mags, and why some bands lived as imagery long before you ever heard a note.7:00 – Band history and lineup chaos – From Sydney origins and early rehearsals with Lino to global deals, tours with Metallica and Megadeth, and constant guitar player turnover.12:05 – DIY Mega Metal and Hetfield's stamp – Recording at 301 Studios, self‑releasing the album, mailing it out like a zine, and landing James Hetfield's 1986 endorsement.17:20 – “The Curse” – How the opening riffing, harmonics, and dissonant second‑guitar lines signal that Mortal Sin aren't just copying Bay Area thrash.22:30 – Drum mix from another planet – Why the massive, low‑end‑heavy drum sound flips the usual thrash hierarchy and changes how you hear the riffs and groove.24:50 – “Lebanon” – Dark, almost Slayer‑like scales, Dokken/Mr. Scary vibes, and how this track becomes a standout for mood and melody.25:30 – Thrash without a ballad – The near‑total absence of slow songs, the fake‑out intro of “Liar,” and what that says about the band's commitment to speed and aggression.30:15 – Honest strengths and weak spots – Praise for the riffs and rhythm section, plus a candid look at the limited vocals, buried mixes, and backward‑feeling sequencing.35:25 – Album art, demons, and Sydney in ruins – The Dungeons & Dragons‑style cover, nuked‑city imagery, and why this screamed “Tipper Gore nightmare” in the 80s.35:30 – “Mayhemic Destruction” (title track) – Proto‑death‑metal vocals and blast beats a year before Death's Scream Bloody Gore, and why burying it as the closer was a smart move.40:30 – Live vs. studio – What the 20th anniversary live tracks reveal about the band's true sound compared to the unique, drum‑heavy studio mix.[45:00 – Final verdict – Is Mayhemic Destruction a worthy album, a decent single, or a lost cult gem in the Australian thrash canon?Love uncovering 80s metal obscurities and lost thrash gems?

Ozzy Osbournen ja Ronnie James Dion laulettua Black Sabbathin keulahahmoina, 1980-luvun alussa bändille koitti vaikea aikakausi. Sitä kutsutaan nimellä ”Lost Years”, hämärät vuodet. Laulajina nähtiin ja kuultiin monien käänteiden jälkeen Deep Purplesta tutut Ian Gillan ja Glenn Hughes, sekä aiemmin tuntematon Tony Martin. Ozzyn ja Dion varjoon jääneenä aikana tehtiin musiikkia, joka ei ole perinteistä Black Sabbathia. Silti se on erittäin kiinnostavaa ja laadukasta heviä ja hard rockia. Sami Ruokangas ja Reidar Palmgren käyvät läpi tätä aikaa, johon mahtuu erikoisia käänteitä ja hyviä tarinoita.

Blood Curse began in 2016 with Aaron on vocals and guitar, his wife Olivia Franks on drums, and Micah Young on bass and backing vocals. They briefly had a second guitarist, George Graas, but parted ways due to style and personality clashes. Micah left a month before recording their debut album, "Sorceress," in 2018. Scott Briggs, who produced the album, joined the band in March 2018, solidifying the lineup. Blood Curse are influenced by various music genres, particularly Metallica, 80s metal, 90s grunge, NWOBHM bands like Angel Witch and Witchfinder General, and 80s American Power Metal. With Curse, they aim to amalgamate their influences into a sound that leans heavily towards Traditional Heavy Metal.Official Links:Bandcamp: https://bloodcurse.bandcamp.com/Metal Archive: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Blood_Curse/3540430022Passionate about metal?

In this episode of Heavy Metal Tones, I dive deep into one of metal's most overlooked and important stories: Black Death, widely recognised as the first African American heavy metal band. Rising out of Cleveland's underground in the early '80s, Black Death carved their own path through raw riffs, NWOBHM-inspired energy, and pure DIY determination.The focus is on their one and only full-length release, Black Death—a cult classic that blends speed, grit, and attitude, while standing as a landmark moment in metal history. I talk about the band's origins, the obstacles they faced, why this album matters just as much now as it did back then, and how Black Death earned their place in the heavy metal timeline.An essential listen for anyone who loves digging into metal history beyond the usual headlines.

”Progemetallin kantaisien kantaisä”. 1983 Iron Maiden julkaisi progevaikutteisen albuminsa Piece of Mind, jolla mukana oli uusi rumpali Nicko McBrain. Heviasiantuntija Matti Ruotsalalle se on albumi, jonka ansiosta Iron Maiden on hänelle erityinen bändi, jonka perässä hän on matkustellut ympäri maailmaa. Piece Of Mind meni Suomessa listakärkeen, mutta tuolloinen Helsingin keikka ei myynyt loppuun, vaan bändi esiintyi vajaalle hallille. Sami Ruokangas ja Matti Ruotsala puivat Iron Maidenin tyylimuutosta ja Suomen keikkahistoriaa Piece Of Mind -albumin kautta. Kuuntele, viihdy ja sivisty.

Metal History – Teil 2: Von Thrash bis Black – Der Sturm der 90er beginnt!Willkommen zurück in der Donnerkuppel des gepflegten Lärms! Nachdem wir im ersten Teil mit Metal Marcus bereits tief durch den Morast der 60er, 70er und 80er Jahre gewatet sind – von Sabbath bis Slayer, von NWOBHM bis Glam-Hysterie – machen wir jetzt weiter mit dem explosivsten Übergang der Metal-Geschichte: dem Ende der 80er bis zur Mitte der 90er.Was erwartet euch in dieser Folge?Was Hairmetal ausmachtWie aus schnellem Thrash plötzlich brutaler Death Metal wurdeWie Grunge dem Metal kurz die Haare abschnitt – und der Metal dennoch überlebteWarum der Underground in dieser Zeit spannender war als der MainstreamAls ganz besonderen Gast haben wir diesmal Axel Ritt dabei – Gitarrist, Produzent, Tontechnik-Nerd und wandelndes Metal-Lexikon. Gemeinsam mit Metal Marcus, unserem liebsten Brutalo-Ästheten, werfen wir den Blick dorthin, wo es damals richtig knirschte: Death Metal, Black Metal, Technical Thrash, Doom, Crossover, Groove – alles auf dem Tisch!Natürlich geht's wie immer auch um:Musiktheorie mit Wumms Nerdige Anekdoten Abseitige Subkultur-Phänomene Und um die ewige Frage: Kann man eigentlich zu Blastbeats meditieren? Fazit: Wir wollten eine Folge machen – und merken: Das Thema frisst uns auf. Deshalb wird's auch noch mindestens einen dritten Teil geben (vielleicht sogar einen vierten), denn wir sind noch lange nicht bei Gojira angekommen.Hört rein, diskutiert mit und schickt uns eure Lieblingsalben aus der Ära '89–'95!

In dieser Episode wird's laut – und lang. Eigentlich wollten wir die komplette Geschichte des Heavy Metal einmal gepflegt von den 60ern bis zu Gojira in die Jetztzeit durchfräsen. Doch nach nur schlanken 3,5 Stunden mussten wir feststellen: Wir haben gerade mal Black Sabbath bis Kreator geschafft – also quasi den Metal-Grundkurs.Zusammen mit unserem erneuten Gast Metal Marcus vom Metal Marcus Metal Podcast tauchen wir kopfüber ein in die rauschende Ursuppe des Genres: Doomige Riffs, NWOBHM, Thashmetal-Geschwindigkeitsrekorde, Leder, Nieten, Mythen – und natürlich sehr viele nerdige Details, die wahrscheinlich nur eure Gitarrenlehrer und Marcus' Stammhörer bisher kannten. Kurz gesagt: Es ist ein wilder Ritt durch die frühen Dekaden des Metals geworden – mit Fakten, Anekdoten und dem ein oder anderen Moment, in dem wir selbst nicht mehr wussten, wie wir hier gelandet sind.Aber hey: Wenn's nicht episch ist, ist es auch kein Metal.Willkommen zu Heavy Metal Geschichte – Teil 1.HINWEIS:Teil 2 erscheint dann in 14 Tagen mit unseren Gästen Metal Marcus und Axel Ritt. .....RUBRIK: Die HausaufgabeLars und Markus schlagen sich gegenseitig ein Album vor, das dann subjektiv auseinandergenommen wird.Wir vergeben Punkte zwischen 1 (mies) und 10 (genial).

Double, double, toil and trouble… This week, we put a spell on you and invite you to participate in our craft. On this 3rd week of Gothtober, we bring you witches from the world of rock n' punk n' metal. These are bands named after broomstick ridin', pointy hat wearin', green-skinned cacklin' ladies of the coven. Step up to our cauldron and have some brew!What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection, an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing. Oh, and we also want your soul.Songs this week include:All Them Witches – “Heavy / Like A Witch” from Our Mother Electricity (2012)Margarita Witch Cult – “Crawl Home To Your Coffin” from Strung Out In Hell (2025) Wytch Hazel – “The Demon Within” from V:Lamentations (2025)Two Witches – “The Angel Of Pain” from Bites (1995)Witchrider – “Wake Me Up” from Metamorph - EP (2025)Witch – “Soul Of Fire” from Witch (2006)Angel Witch – “Straight From Hell” from Frontal Assault (1986)Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/https://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/
Ian welcomes the spooky season with a selection of his favourite holiday classics! We kick it off with a ghoulish punk rock anthem from the Misfits, and then blast through some vicious local luminaries including the newest from Hedonist's debut full length, followed by an exhumation of an entire graveyard's worth of iconic doom from Pentagram, Electric Wizard, Candlemass and Black Sabbath. We'll also throw in eerie true metal ghost stories of NWOBHM vintage with Iron Maiden, Witchfinder General and Venom. Powerchord doesn't forget the extreme metal freaks either, because we're hauling terrifying thrash and death metal atrocities from Possessed, Frozen Soul, Sacrifice and Cannibal Corpse, and we might even throw some power metal into you trick-or-treat bag too... It's never too early to get into the spirit of the season, so come and empty a chalice and smash some pumpkins with us!

This week on Toilet Radio: We're taking our sweet ass time to discuss one of the slower elements in the heavy metal periodic table. This week is all about DOOM METAL. What is Doom? When did it differentiate itself from the first wave of heavy metal? What makes it a distinct entity from the many subgenres that emerged concurrently? Who are the power players throughout the decades? We're talking about an obscure NWOBHM band that unintentionally helped create the genre, Candlemass picking up the baton and making their stamp on the genre, and a variety of killer bands that have refined and reinvigorated the genre since. Folks, it's a good one.

Welcome to yet another edition of our Discography Review series here at The Mighty Decibel. This time out we provide critical analysis of the six album run by the original NWOBHM unit, Tank! Get ready for the heavy artillery!!!
“You'll be divorced, alone, and flaccid…” Let's go back a few years, back to a time when we were young and impressionable and just starting out on our respective metal odysseys as fans and purveyors of all things metal, including (but not limited to) the hard rock of our childhood years in the late 70's to the plethora of NWOBHM, thrash, and other classic metal bands we discovered during our teen years in the late 80's and early 90's. Back to a time when wearing a newly purchased tour shirt from a show the night before to school the next day was a sacred badge of honor, a time when local bands gave out flyers for shows that included “treasure map” style instructions for locating the venue, and a time when we each had our own personal attaché case containing the cassettes we'd recently procured (or otherwise came into possession of) on our unquenchable thirst and unending quest for anything and everything metal. Imagine what “Miss Piggy with laryngitis” might sound like and remember to never do people dirty, because just like Pepperidge Farms, karma remembers. Get ready for a “crombination” of “skythes…or scythes”, discover some of the most absurdly talented drummers and bassists in the world today, and prepare to behold one of, if not the best, thrash bands from the local scene back in the day when you JOIN US as we travel back in time to THE METAL DAYS OF YORE: OUR FORMATIVE METAL YEARS.

Welcome back to The Metal Maniacs Podcast, the loudest podcast in the pit, hosted by your riff-obsessed guides Jay Ingersoll and Modd. For Episode 94, we're throwing ourselves into the hurricane that is thrash metal—a genre born of rebellion, raised on speed, and forged in the fires of punk and NWOBHM.This is not just a list of greatest hits. This is a deep dive, a dissection, and a love letter to one of the most influential and enduring subgenres in all of heavy metal. If you've ever air-guitared to Slayer, circle-pitted to Exodus, or worn out the rewind button on Kill ‘Em All, this one's for you.
Meet Captain Content & Kevin in the pit again this week for a tooth-losing, hella good time! We're getting our aggressions out by revisiting the starting point of it all for Kevin. The thrash, crossover, speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n' punk n' metal. Once again, we will not be covering the Big 4 of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, but if you love them, then you will love this bunch. What is it that we do here at InObscuria? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode, we explore all things mosh-worthy! This is real meta,l people. All hail the speed and ferocity of Thrash! Our hope is that we turn you on to something new.Songs this week include:Exodus – “And Then There Were None”from Bonded By Blood(1985)Dead On – “The Widower” from Dead On (1989) Belladonna – “Blunt Man” from Belladonna (1995)Coroner – “Read My Scars” from No More Color (1989)Reverend – “Butcher Of Baghdad” from Play God (1991)Grip Inc. – “Guilty Of Innocence” from Power Of Inner Stregth (1995)Havok – “Fear Campaign” from V (2020)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

EP 603 Discussing The Latest KISS Merch Insanity
High and Dry: Def Leppard's Gateway from NWOBHM to Arena Rock KingsBefore Hysteria took over MTV and Pyromania lit up the charts, Def Leppard were loud, raw, and hungry. Their 1981 album, High and Dry, was the crucial turning point—bridging the grit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) with the polished, hook-laden sound that would dominate ‘80s rock radio. But does it get the recognition it deserves?This week, we go deep into Def Leppard's unsung classic—breaking down the ferocious dual-guitar attack, the emergence of the power ballad, and why this album is the missing link between underground metal and stadium rock dominance.If you love AC/DC, Scorpions, Van Halen, or Judas Priest, this episode is for you.
EP 602 Discussing Current Metal News Including This Years M3 Lineup
EP 601 Discussing Current Metal News
Kicking off 2025 with an interview with John Gallagher of Raven. They have a new EP coming out on February 14th. It features five new songs and three live tracks, all from different decades. He told me about the songs, and one he said is the heaviest song Raven has ever done. John also told me they're well into working on new music, so it sounds like they have a lot of material ready to go. We discussed their early tours, taking Metallica on the raid, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and the bands they influenced. As far as the NWOBHM was concerned, that era didn't last long, but it did produce some legendary bands. You can watch this interview on the RIFF TV section of wrif.com to see some of John's classic basses, as he pulled a couple of them out. It's a great way to kick off 2025 on Talkin' Rock!
In Episode 288, Martin delves into the influence of bands like Gillan, Rainbow, and Whitesnake on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), examining their evolution from cult favorites to guilty pleasures, with a focus on how these acts navigated mainstream success while maintaining their heavy metal integrity. Rainbow – “Eyes of the World” Whitesnake – “Ready an' Willing” Gillan – “Future Shock" Rainbow – “Death Alley Driver” Whitesnake – “Standing in the Shadow” Learn more about your ad choices.
