“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.

What's up, dudes? Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to talk about Rainbow “Snowman!” Yes, the former Deep Purple guitarist took Howard Blake's song from the 1982 classic and reworked it as an atmospheric synth and electric guitar anthem!Rainbow was formed in 1975 by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he began to tire of Deep Purple and the band's changing musical direction. Deep Purple had already replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, but Blackmore remained unhappy with where the music was headed. What began as Blackmore recording a single with members of the band Elf ultimately grew into a full album and the creation of Rainbow. The band quickly became known for its larger-than-life live shows, whose centerpiece was a massive computer-controlled rainbow containing some 3,000 lightbulbs and stretching 40 feet across the stage. Rainbow also became notorious for its revolving door of musicians, with original vocalist Ronnie James Dio departing in 1978 over disagreements about the band's increasingly commercial musical direction. After further lineup changes, Joe Lynn Turner eventually took over as lead singer, ushering in Rainbow's more radio-friendly early-'80s era. That lineup would lead to Bent Out of Shape, released September 9, 1983, which featured the song in question as the album's ninth track.Rainbow's instrumental “Snowman,” featured on their 1983 album Bent Out of Shape, is based on “Walking in the Air,” the haunting theme written by composer Howard Blake for the beloved 1982 animated film The Snowman, itself adapted from Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book. Blake had actually composed the melody around 1970 before later adapting it for the television special, where it became the musical centerpiece of the story. The Snowman—which went on to become a seasonal television favorite in Britain and Finland—follows the fleeting adventure of a young boy and the snowman he brings to life. During their magical flight to the North Pole, “Walking in the Air” accompanies the pair as they soar through the night before attending a gathering of snowmen and meeting Santa Claus and his reindeer. In the original film, the song was performed by St. Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, whose recording was later reissued in 1985 and 1987. Ritchie Blackmore was captivated by the composition's haunting, melodic beauty and, having long enjoyed adapting classical and traditional melodies into rock instrumentals, transformed Blake's delicate vocal theme into “Snowman.” Rainbow's version builds atmospheric tension around the familiar melody before giving Blackmore the opportunity to let loose with a soaring, emotional electric-guitar lead—turning one of animation's most delicate Christmas themes into a distinctly Rainbow instrumental.Synth flute? Check. Fuzzy guitar? Got it. Brad Fiedel The Terminator-style synth percussion? Definitely! So grab your guitar, stand behind that keyboard, and rock out to Rainbow “Snowman!”‘Tis the SoundtrackYouTube: @TisTheSoundtrackIG:  @tisthesoundtrackGive us a buzz!

¡Hola a todos los amantes del vinilo! Hoy vamos a hablar de “Long Live to Rock'n' Roll”, el tercer disco de estudio de Rainbow, aunque en realidad es su cuarto álbum. Antes de este, sacaron el directo “On Stage”, que si aún no lo habéis escuchado, ¡corre que se acaba el mundo! Rainbow, para los que no los conozcáis, fue una banda fundamental en la historia del rock. Muchas de las bandas de la New Wave of British Heavy Metal, como Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Saxon o Judas Priest, se inspiraron en ellos. Podríamos decir que Rainbow es como un puente entre Deep Purple y Led Zeppelin con el NWBHM. Y ahora, ¡vamos a por este “Long Live Rock'n'Roll”! Grabado en 1977 en un castillo convertido en estudio en Francia y publicado en 1978 bajo el sello Polydor, este disco llevó a Rainbow al Top 10 británico, convirtiéndose en uno de los discos clave del heavy metal de finales de los 70. Aunque creemos que Rainbow no necesita muchas presentaciones entre vosotros, antes de empezar con el podcast, os hacemos un resumen rapidito de su historia desde sus inicios hasta la grabación de este disco que os traemos hoy. Rainbow nació en 1975, cuando Ritchie Blackmore decidió dejar Deep Purple en pleno éxito. Buscaba algo diferente: alejarse del sonido más clásico de la banda y explorar una música más personal, más cercana a la fantasía y a sus influencias clásicas. Para ello, se rodeó de los músicos de Elf, entre ellos un cantante prácticamente desconocido en ese momento: Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore no descubrió a Elf por casualidad… los tuvo delante durante meses, como teloneros de Deep Purple. Cada noche veía a Ronnie James Dio subir al escenario… y poco a poco se dio cuenta de que ahí había algo especial. Algo que no encajaba en Deep Purple… pero sí en lo que él tenía en mente. Escucha este episodio donde contamos cómo tuvimos la ocasión de verlos en Barcelona. No olvidéis suscribiros a nuestra web vinilosbarbarella.com para no perderos ninguna novedad. ¡Salud y Vinilos!

The year is 1980. The U.S. National Debt is a paltry $900 Billion, the word “yuppie” appears for the first time in print, the Pac-Man videogame is released in arcades everywhere, Mount St. Helens explodes in Washington state, and Cable News Network (also known as CNN) becomes a thing.   In the world of metal, Iron Maiden release their self-titled debut album, Black Sabbath reinvent themselves with new frontman Ronnie James Dio on vocals and release Heaven and Hell, and AC/DC regroup after the tragic loss of Bon Scott and release Back In Black featuring new vocalist Brian Johnson, an album that would go on to sell more than 40 million copies and become one of the biggest selling albums of all time.   Just as time and technology continued marching forward, the hard rock of the 70's continued its evolution into a new direction with a faster, heavier, and more aggressive sound beginning in 1980 that would become even faster, heavier, and more aggressive throughout the 80's.   Get ready for a taste of “Something Haunted” from the “Necronomidonkeykongimicon” and find out why “you gotta watch for the flops” if you want to get in the spirit and enjoy the FIFA World Cup.    Discover which dinosaur is “the biggest dinosaur”, understand the rules and regulations regarding “flip-flops”, find out which type of rooster has the best breasts, and be sure to “have a nice June” when you JOIN US as we dive headlong into the year that gave us the birth of modern metal with THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD – 1980.

In this episode we discuss our Top 5 Ronnie James Dio songs with Jeff Walker, Michael Sanders, and Lukas Brown 

“This is the 80's before the 80's was the 80's…”   Released April 18, 1980, HEAVEN AND HELL, the 9th studio album by BLACK SABBATH (and the first to feature Ronnie James Dio on vocals), marks a simultaneous sonic departure and rebirth for the Godfathers of Metal.    While some would argue that it sounds more like RJD's solo output and NOTHING like the Sabbath of the 70's, HEAVEN AND HELL is more than just “the next Sabbath album”.   Featuring fantastical & medieval lyrical themes coupled with a revitalized songwriting style and renewed vigor, HEAVEN AND HELL is a brilliant example of how a band in desperate need of a “heavy metal makeover” can completely reinvent their sound and expand their artistic palette to accommodate a brand-new chapter for a brand-new decade.   If you've got questions, we've got answers! Check out our newest segment, “ASK THE METALHEAD”.    Find out who might just be “the Yoda of metal”, discover which song absolutely must be played on misty mornings, and realize that “the anxiety of being around family” can only be rivaled by the disturbingly high readings captured on the “goddamnometer” when you JOIN US from The Bunkerpoon Center for Metal Excellence as we celebrate 46 years of the BLACK SABBATH Mark II lineup with HEAVEN AND HELL.

During 2020, the longtime collaborators shifted focus from covers to original material, quickly writing ten songs and entering Sonic Stomp Studio with producer Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Joined by drummer Joe D'Aqui, the group crafted a heavy, story-driven sound rooted in influences like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Tool. Despite pandemic delays, the sessions yielded their debut full-length album Blame', released in October 2022.Following the addition of guitarists Bruce Gatewood and Johnny James Barone, the band gained traction with a heavier reimagining of Toto's “Hold the Line,” now their most-streamed track. Lineup changes continued with drummer Howie Fallon joining in 2024, bringing renewed chemistry and power, though tragedy struck later that year with the passing of Gatewood. In late 2024, Jimmy Kocha joined, filling the role of co-lead guitarist, solidifying the lineup that is currently in full force today. Honoring his legacy, the band pushed forward, releasing the Smoke & Mirrors EP in March 2025—a sharp, socially reflective six-song release. The group is currently at work on a new full-length album, slated for release in early 2026. Chapter 3: Pipeman interviews Southern California's newest force in melodic death metal, Ravenmocker, and their second single / music video “Where The Raven Flies” to follow their debut track "Infallible."The new single continues building the band's identity: soaring melody, cultural storytelling, and a modern take on the melodic death metal spirit once championed by acts like Children of Bodom, Insomnium, and Kalmah."Where The Raven Flies" is an anthemic, cinematic track that tells the origin story of the Raven Mocker, a cryptid from Adirondack and Cherokee lore. Known as a harbinger of death, the Raven Mocker feeds on the sick and dying, stealing the remaining years of its victims' lives.

Hosted by Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot, this episode of The Audio Files takes on the impossible task of ranking their top five male vocalists of all time. Blending personal favorites with undeniable talent and influence, Brad and Jay move across decades and genres to spotlight the voices that shaped their musical worlds. Brad kicks things off with Sublime's Bradley Nowell before diving into heavy metal legends like Judas Priest's Rob Halford and Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose. Jay counters with icons such as Elvis Presley, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, and the timeless swagger of Frank Sinatra. Along the way, the hosts explore the unique vocal power of Ronnie James Dio, the unmatched showmanship of Freddie Mercury, and the emotional pull behind some of rock and metal's most unforgettable performances. From reggae-punk fusion to arena metal, classic rock to swing-era crooners, the conversation celebrates vocal range, stage presence, and the singers who defined entire generations of music.

The world of rock music has long been saturated with Occult imagery, mysticism and dark spiritual themes, and in some cases the stories go far beyond the stage theatrics and album art. Some of the most startling claims have come not from outsiders, but from the artists themselves. In interviews Ronnie James Dio included descriptions of rituals connected to guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. He even described a ritual in which they used to summon the ancient entity known as Baal. So on this episode, what we want to discuss is the spiritual ramifications of dabbling in the occult and whether or not some of these artists really know what they're getting themselves into.

BEYOND PURPLE performs a showcase of the biggest hits from Deep Purple and Whitesnake, as well as Rainbow and Dio; all born out of the Deep Purple family tree. The band faithfully re-creates the vivid experience of live, high-energy music from what many consider to be Rock's greatest era. ​Beyond Purple consists of elite musicians with national ties, including guitarist Jimi Bell (Autograph, House of Lords); his amazing skills and prowess on guitar are truly world class. Mike Gill (Livesay, Johnny A.) is the lead voice of the band, with powerful soaring vocals in the style of Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner, and Ronnie James Dio. His energetic stage presence brings every song to life. Drummer BJ Zampa (Dokken, House of Lords) pounds out thunderous beats with a huge groove that locks in the band on every note; he also contributes harmony vocals. Bassist Brian Camilleri rounds out the rhythm section, laying down the low-end thunder and locking in with BJ, to create a solid musical foundation. Welcome Gary Fox Jr. on keyboards and backing vocals, a long standing member of legendary Led Zeppelin tribute “Physical Graffiti”. His talent is beyond amazing.    Their high energy show fully engages the crowd, with accurate song renditions that capture the raw energy and power that has made this style of music one of the most popular of all time.For info:https://www.beyondpurpleband.com/:

Joining us are family members Travis Perrotta and Tim Wirasnik as we crank up the Dio-era heaviness and ask the big questions: How does this album sound to our ears? Is this a top-tier Dio-fronted Sabbath record… or does it fall flat on its demonic face? No spoilers — you've gotta listen to hear whether we bow to the riffs or banish them back to the underworld. Tracks of the Week: • Travis: Type O Negative – Black No. 1 (and if the song gets too long for you… you officially have our permission to fast-forward, Pete Steele will understand) • Mooger: Wolfmother – Dimension • Jerry: Florence Black – Colored In • Tim: AC/DC – What's Next to the Moon • Marc: The Bangles – Hazy Shade of Winter Until next week, remember: You are Legion, we rock, and we miss Ronnie James Dio every single day.
