All right now! Lewis and Alan explore the doomy, sludgy goodness of Black Sabbath’s 1971 album ‘Master of Reality’.

Hello skillets, Alan here. We’re planning to get back in the studio soon, but in the meantime here’s an update on some issues with Spotify behind the scenes. If you’re not interested in a rant about digital platforms and copyright law, here’s the short version: if you listen to Cast Iron on Spotify, you should move to another app, because we won’t be able to publish there in future.

If you want to hear the long version, there’s a little music recommendation at the end to make it worth your while. Take care and we’ll be back with you soon.

Lewis and Alan are here to destroy you, they’re here to avenge – in the court of the dragon they descend.

Lewis and Alan are the dagger, the enemy, the voice of the voiceless and much more. Which team captain is top of the Roadrunner league?

Lewis and Alan experience more than a momentary bliss with possibly the only melodic death metal double album, The Living Infinite by Soilwork.

Lewis and Alan have been down too long in the midnight sea – oh, what’s becoming of us?

All in due time. Lewis and Alan take on Killswitch Engage’s ultimate metalcore comeback album, Disarm the Descent.

• Bullet For My Valentine – Scream Aim Fire
• The Defiled – Grave Times

• Any Given Day – Everlasting
• Malevolence – Reign of Suffering

Lewis and Alan are spiralling up through the crack in the sky, leaving the material world behind. It’s sludgy! It’s proggy! It’s Mastodon!

• Boss Keloid – Melted on the Inch
• Astro Henge – II

• Intronaut – Fluid Existential Inversions
• Moon Tooth – Crux

ARE YOU READY? Lewis and Alan touch base about weird nu metal pioneers Korn.

• Rammstein – Mutter
• Maximum the Hormone – Bu-ikikaesu

• In Flames – Reroute to Remain
• Disturbed – Believe

Just a noise, your shallow view, an opinion we find misconstrued – Lewis and Alan try something completely different, grindcore (or is it death metal?)

• Napalm Death – Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism
• Death – Symbolic

• The Black Dahlia Murder – Miasma
• Aghast! – All the Rage (start with ‘Look Alive’)
