It's great to be feckin' back!

This week, Andrew and I pick up where we left off with "Writing on the Wall", and also discuss the next three songs on Senjutsu. Wild tangents and theories dominate this lively back and forth discussion on Iron Maiden's latest album!

Andrew DuBroy joins me on this episode to review the new Iron Maiden album Senjutsu! We take the long way around to cover the first three tracks on the album, via stories about our heavy metal fandom, memories of the Cart & Horses pub, tangents on political incorrectness in lyrics, discussions on artwork and music videos, and a lot more in between. This lengthy chat covers a lot and is likely to offend. You have been warned!

On this episode, I speak to world-renowned rock writer, podcaster, and amateur Irish trad singer, Mick Wall! Mick talks about his Irish heritage, tells stories about Lemmy, Iron Maiden, and others, talks about his approach to writing books, and a lot more! A true tale of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll from someone who lived through it, I present to you: Mick Wall!

ArcSabbath continues into the 1990s as Tony Martin and others step aside for a reunion with Ronnie James Dio, and the rest of the Mob Rules era line-up. This period would produce the album Dehumanizer before imploding yet again, when Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler's true intentions became clear - that elusive reunion with original singer Ozzy Osbourne! Mick Wall, Martin Popoff, and Joel McIver's books help to fill in the blanks and lend context to this era where you could say Black Sabbath were going through changes!

On this installment of #ArcSabbath, I fill in some blanks regarding Glenn Hughes's exit and Tony Martin's entrance into Black Sabbath, via Martin Popoff's book, Born Again. My guests and I then get deep into the albums Headless Cross and Tyr, in a period of relative stability for the band in 1989/1990. It wouldn't last long.

In this installment of #ArcSabbath, my guests and I explore the fallout of the Glenn Hughes era, discuss temporary replacement Ray Gillen, reflect on the addition of Tony Martin to the band, and review the album "The Eternal Idol". Again, another tumultuous period in Black Sabbath!
