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!

In this installment of ArcSabbath, I speak to my regular guests, and new addition Jonatan Hedlin from Maiden A - Z, about a tumultuous period in Black Sabbath history - the chaos beforehand and the aftermath of the Glenn Hughes era. Jonatan also provides some background info on himself, and growing up as a heavy metal fan in Stockholm, Sweden. Context is provided by a passage from Martin Popoff's excellent book, Born Again: Black Sabbath in the Eighties and Nineties. We also delve deep into the concept of just who is in Black Sabbath, and when, if ever, people stopped considering the band to be authentic.

Sweating like a pig? Happy as a pig in sh*t? Pig ignorant? Joining me to discuss the smear campaign against pigs is @feckinmetalcast. We also cover pigs in popular culture-from Animal farm to Pulp Fiction- and we discuss the ethics of eating pigs! Oink!

This month, we discuss the misspelling a mispronunciation of names; the Euro 2020 tournament, including bizarre referee behaviour and why gambling makes football more interesting; how gym culture has changed over the years; and different categories of drunk - from Mary Poppins to The Nutty Professor!

Feckin' Metal is proud to welcome back The Busiest Man in Rock - Jarvis Leatherby. In this episode, I catch up with Jarvis regarding all the happenings in Night Demon, Cirith Ungol, and the management world, since we last spoke in October 2020. Covering everything from the new Night Demon album, to bar fights and vocal injuries - you don't want to miss this!

On this episode, I speak to someone who has lived through the European power metal scene, from its inception to the present day. Markus Großkopf has been in Helloween since day one, weathering all the line-up changes. He speaks candidly about how the current Pumpkins United version of the band got together, as well as providing fascinating insights into the recording of their new album, "Helloween". Markus is a true heavy metal survivor. Enjoy!
