WELCOME BACK TO CHURCH, FREAKS!

Today marks the start of exploring an interesting, forgotten era of Black Sabbath. We start with 1986's "Seventh Star" featuring Glenn Hughes on vocals. 

The Crypt Keeper is left ALONE this week to talk about Bill Ward, upcoming Death Comes Lifting productions, and Black Sabbath History.

STICK AROUND TO THE END for the Marvel-style-post-credits behind the screams feature with THE LIFTING DEAD ARMY! 

Thank YOU , freaks!!

Welcome back to CHURCH for this Sabbath EASTER Sunday IRON WORSHIP sermon conveniently covering their 1983 record, BORN AGAIN. 

What a better way to celebrate the resurrection than with Black Sabbath's underrated gem with Ian Gillian of Deep Purple on vocals. It's heavy, it's weird, and we talk all about it & its rich history including: tequila fueled car crashes, pyro bombs, midgets from Star Wars dressed as demon babies, sinking boats, pissing off local priests, Stonehenge, hidden satanic messages, and MORGUE Easter-friendly content from The Lifting Dead Army!!!

Plant-based lasagna recipe included free of charge.

Thanks for listening, FREAKS!!

Kong vs Godzilla? Ozzy vs Dio.

JOIN US for a chat with the BOYS of The Lifting Dead Army: Adam "The Door Warrior" Gorak & Joe "The Batman Of Nebraska" Smith as we discuss our favorite kaiju films, our opinions of The Mob Rules, lifting & nutrition, and much more. 

As always, this was killer. Thanks for listening freaks. 

OUTERHEAVEN is currently reigning as one of the most unique new bands in the death metal underground, and the brains of the operation, Austin Haines, was cool enough to open up on his creative process on Lifts & Riffs! Stick around for a chat about old school death metal revival, horror vs sci-fi, shit going wrong in space, Lovecraft, and some GREAT Erik Rutan stories. 

PROTECTORS OF THE REALM... Welcome back the CHURCH!!

On this week's episode we cover the first of the Ronnie James Dio era of Black Sabbath with "Heaven & Hell" ... with ENTRANCE MUSIC by The Door Warrior himself, Adam Gorak on guitar.

The general consensus, whether you prefer Ozzy or Dio, is it rules. However, we do debate a little Dio vs Ozzy, talk Sabbath history behind this record, hippie van murals, how Australia works, Stephen King book recommendations, and more awesome stuff with the awesome freaks of The Lifting Dead Army.

Thanks for listening!!!
