Wir freuen uns, in dieser Folge einen ganz besonderen Gast bei uns zu Besuch zu haben: Lukas Ritzel aus Luzern zeigt in seiner mehrteiligen Forschungsreihe, dass Tolkien nicht nur ein literarischer Einfluss ist, sondern ein zentraler Mythengeber für ganze Musikströmungen – von Psychedelic und Folk über klassischen Rock und Progressive Rock bis hin zu Power Metal, Black Metal und sogar Drone.Dabei hat ihn besonders interessiert, wie Bands Tolkiens Themen – Landschaft, Mythos, Gut und Böse oder Eskapismus – nicht einfach zitieren, sondern in eigene Klangwelten übersetzen. Es geht also weniger um Referenzen, sondern um die Frage: Wie klingt Mittelerde eigentlich in der Musik?Das komplette Werk von Lukas könnt ihr in acht Artikeln auf Metal Factory nachlesen:https://metalfactory.ch/news-szene/story/tag/JRR%20TolkienSeine Homepage zu dem Thema auf Englisch findet ihr hier:https://tolkien-schweiz.ch/tolkien-musicUnd natürlich dürfen auch die Spotify Playlists nicht fehlen, damit ihr die genannten Songs auch selber anhören könnt:Die Anfänge von 1960 bis 1980https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xIQbdxzVWxGZlofmkB4TC?si=55885b0a8da0464cLukas Favoritenhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/4tZfNGo0GRyuAXXRFXE0us?si=8fbb545be3ab426

Interview by Kris PetersREXORIA returns with their signature Royal Metal sound on the brand‑new album Fallen Dimension - out May 8 via Black Lodge - delivering towering choruses, vivid storytelling, emotional depth, and raw, commanding vocals.Formed in 2016 in Småland, Sweden, REXORIA quickly evolved into something distinct within the metal landscape, embarking on their first European tour only months after releasing their first EP. Unbound by traditional genre definitions, the band blends heavy metal, power metal, symphonic, cinematic and electronic influences into a unified sound, driven by Frida Ohlin's distinctive voice; powerful, raspy and deeply emotional.Rexoria's fourth studio album, Fallen Dimension is the successor to the acclaimed Imperial Dawn, taking a bold and focused step forward. Fallen Dimension spans a wide emotional and thematic spectrum, from social commentary and war‑driven narratives to heartfelt power ballads and uplifting, hook‑laden anthems. It is an album built on atmosphere, intensity, and the unmistakable REXORIA spirit.HEAVY caught up with vocalist Frida and guitarist Jonas to find out more."This one is a little bit more based on the guitar riffs," Jonas replied when we ask how Fallen Dimension differs to Imperial Dawn musically. "It's a little bit darker. Still, of course, we have the melody in our songs and the catchy choruses and so on, but it's more balanced between the keyboard and the guitars. So it's a little bit more of heavy metal riffs here and there, blended with the keyboard. And I think also the backing vocals are bit more more powerful. Frida has a lot of grit in her voice and she is challenging herself a lot in the studio. I think you can hear that on the album."In the full interview, Frida and Jonas expressed mixed excitement and nerves about the impending release date. They described a shift toward heavier guitar riffs and darker tones while retaining melodic choruses and stronger backing vocals, framing the overall style as “Royal Metal” to convey unity, empowerment, and a blend of power, symphonic, and heavy elements.Discussion moved to writing and sequencing choices, explaining how they get the balance of styles and influences right in the creative process. We spoke about album opener, Metallic Rage, and how tempo and arrangement changes converted a last-written riff into the starting track and an added wartime-style intro. The Fallen Dimension title was explained as reflecting societal themes with a hint of hope, while guest vocal contributions from Johnny Gioeli and Mike Andersson were discussed and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

“I wonder if we'll get a cease and desist on this episode…” Generally speaking, whenever someone says “Slayer” or “Metallica”, you think of two veteran thrash bands which both formed in 1981 and both released their debut albums in 1983. This is common knowledge among most fans of both of these bands. Ironically, there's another band who follows this exact same timeline of forming in 1981 and releasing their debut album in 1983, yet at the time, they were NOT at all thrashy…not even close. Most of us know of PANTERA as the brutally heavy, groove metal masters from Arlington, Texas who lit a proverbial fire under the ass of the thrash and heavy music scene in 1990 with their “major label” debut album (with the emphasis, in this case, on the words “major label”) as CFH was actually their FIFTH studio album. Fifth? Wait a minute…what about THE FIRST FOUR studio albums!? And why are those albums not talked about and celebrated just like all things PANTERA!? Well, there's a reason that THE FIRST FOUR aren't really talked about or acknowledged. Actually, there are probably a multitude of reasons, but the most glaring one is the stylistic difference between their early glam and power metal days and the heavier, grittier era when they truly became the “Cowboys From Hell”. Remember those awkward Olan Mills pictures you used to take with the family, or better yet, the pictures of you in high school with that absurd, dorky hairstyle that people always like to bring up in conversation? That's kinda what THE FIRST FOUR ALBUMS by PANTERA were like. Always remember that “Dokken is better than KISS” and you absolutely have to “pill up before PT”. Find out why “concubine” is a much cooler term than girlfriend, why the stress of having multiple families can be fatal, and realize that most doctors' definition of “prescription pain medication” is painfully incorrect and a complete waste of a prescription pad. Get ready to find out which Pantera album came out on Rex's 20th birthday, which song features Dime on lead vocals, and understand that while we absolutely did not plan for this to be episode 333, it just so happened to turn out that way. Brace yourselves and get your relaxers ready before you JOIN US as we go back to the 80's to get a better idea of why one of the greatest metal bands of all time tried to bury their earliest work (and original “not as metal” logo) with THE FIRST FOUR from the mighty PANTERA.

Jack and Erin read horror stories from a NYC dog walker with some very wealthy clients. Then they take yet another bespoke quiz, but this time they must decide if the passage is a bible verse or a power metal lyric! What is "power metal" as opposed to the other metals? Who can say? Finally, they close the show with a riddling horoscope that will leave you (and them) puzzled. Happy December!!

Interview with Sean Wade, CEO of Power Metal Resources PLC & Marcel Nally, Founder of MinestartersOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/power-metal-resources-aimpow-advancing-a-pipeline-of-high-potential-exploration-projects-6311Recording date: 15th October 2025Power Metal Resources is investing £3 million to become the cornerstone investor in Minestarters, a blockchain-based platform designed to address critical funding shortages in early-stage mining exploration. The AIM-listed mining exploration incubator will acquire 49% of Minestarters, gaining access to significantly larger capital pools through tokenisation while maintaining visibility of investment value through tradable digital assets.CEO Sean Wade describes the funding environment for early-stage mining over the past two to three years as "a desert" where even "fantastic prospects" that "would have flown off the shelves during COVID" have struggled to raise adequate capital. This capital scarcity prevents companies from investing sufficient sums to properly develop resources, with projects requiring significant drilling programs finding markets closed or capital available only at prohibitive costs.Minestarters addresses this gap by issuing 120 million tokens backed by real-world mining assets. The platform will deploy 70 million tokens to the public in tranches, with the first 20 million released at $0.10 per token. All proceeds flow into a treasury used exclusively to fund selected mineral exploration projects through a rigorous investment committee that expects to reject 90-95% of applicants.A key innovation involves smart contracts that automate milestone-based funding, releasing capital only as projects achieve predetermined objectives. This approach reduces capital leakage and human error compared to traditional mining finance, where project managers might request additional funds mid-programme without clear accountability frameworks.Wade emphasises the partnership creates immediately visible value contrasting with conventional exploration investments: "I could tomorrow spend £3 million on an asset in Canada. Nothing's going on my balance sheet that's visible to a shareholder for three years plus." The tradable tokens provide 24/7 price transparency, enabling investors to track Power Metal's Minestarters holdings in real-time while the company leverages its proven IPO expertise to provide exit pathways for funded projects.View Power Metal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/power-metal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
In the grand theater of heavy metal, moments arise when the tectonic plates of the genre shift, heralding the arrival of something monumental. This is one of those moments. This week, two of the most formidable forces in modern metal, Sweden's power metal titans Sabaton and Finland's melodic death metal masters Omnium Gatherum, are launching major campaigns with the announcement of highly anticipated new albums. These are not mere record releases; they are strategic deployments of sonic force, meticulously crafted to conquer new territory and fortify their legacies. At the helm of these campaigns are two of the genre's most respected commanders: Sabaton frontman Joakim Brodén and Omnium Gatherum's founding guitarist Markus Vanhala. This week's edition of The Loaded Radio Podcast brings these two masterminds together for an exclusive deep-dive conversation, a rare summit where the architects of war anthems and melancholic requiems share their strategies, their philosophies, and the stories behind their new masterworks.
In POWER METAL, award-winning journalist Vince Beiser chronicles the destructive side effects that the global hunt for critical metals has on our clean energy transition, from environmental damage to political upheaval to murder. Vince Beiser is an award-winning journalist and author of “The World in a Grain: The Story of Sand and How It Transformed Civilization.” The book has been translated into five languages, was a finalist for a PEN America award and a California Book Award, and spawned a TEDx talk. Vince is currently at work on a new book, “Power Metal”, about how the materials we need for digital technology and renewable energy are causing environmental havoc, political upheaval, mayhem and murder—and how we can do better.Vince has reported from over 100 countries, states, provinces, kingdoms, occupied territories, no man's lands and disaster zones. He has exposed conditions in California's harshest prisons, trained with troops bound for Iraq, ridden with the first responders to natural disasters, and hunted down other stories from around the world for publications including Wired, The Atlantic, Harper's, Time, The Guardian, Mother Jones, Playboy, Rolling Stone, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.Vince's work has been honored by Investigative Reporters and Editors, the Society of Professional Journalists, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Columbia, Medill and Missouri Graduate Schools of Journalism, and many other institutions. He has three times been part of a team that won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, and shared in an Emmy for his work with the PBS TV series SoCal Connected.

“In the next 25 years, the world will need more copper than in all of human history.”Amendment - I said 3.2 billion kg of copper in opening question, I should have said 320 million kg. In this episode, journalist and author Vince Beiser returns to the podcast to discuss his book Power Metal, a sobering look at the metals that make modern civilization possible — and the extraordinary cost of extracting them.We cover the story of copper — the wire of empire. Beiser reveals why humanity will need more copper in the next 25 years than we've used in all of history, and how that quest is reshaping geopolitics, the environment, and our very ideas of progress. From Chile's drought-stricken Atacama mines to the e-waste yards of Lagos, Nigeria, we follow the real people and places behind our “clean-energy” future — and the dirty truths that power it.We also unpack the rise of deep-sea mining, the billionaires behind it, and the tensions between state power, corporate ambition, and the planet's limits. Along the way we meet Robert Friedland, Gerard Barron, Dan Gertler, and a cast of characters who prove that the world still runs on digging — and that the future will too.If you liked The World in a Grain or stories about how our material world shapes our moral one, this conversation will hit home.Topics: Resource wars, clean-tech paradox, deep-sea mining, copper shortage, China's industrial strategy, EV economics, and how to reduce demand without going backwards.
