Focus on Metal episodes

  • Kingdom Come
    In March of 1988 Kingdom Come released their self titled debut album. Bolstered by tracks like “Get It On” the album was flying off shelves and led to being invited to be on the Monsters of Rock bill.
    With the 30th anniversary upon us James Kottak decided to get the band back together and celebrate the music.
    Although original singer Lenny Wolf declined to take part James was still able to pull together original guitarists Danny Stag and Rick Steier as well as original bassist Johnny B. Frank to take part in the assault. Keith St John will be taking over vocals for the tour.
    So, this week we’re joined by James to give us all the straight talk about this anniversary tour.
    Head to KingdomComeBand.com for more info and tour dates.

  • Heavy Duty
    Most excellent show this week as we have former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing on board. K.K. (along with Mark Eglinton) just released “Heavy Duty: Days And Night in Judas Priest” a 288 page book about his life in and out of Judas Priest.
    With only 50 minutes Richie didn’t have time to delve deep but the takeaway is that this is a must read for metal fans.

  • Saxon mkVI
    This week we talk about Call To Arms, Sacrifice and Battering Ram. Yep we kept you waiting for another 63 episodes before finally getting to another installment of the Saxon catalog.
    However I think we’ve more than made up for it by having on none other than Biff Byford to discuss these most metal releases.
    Yep Richie sat down with Biff around the time they were mixing Thunderbolt to discuss the next three albums in the catalog.

    We’ve only been waiting 29 years for another solo release from her but Leather has delivered the goods.
    Also this week we indulge in a bit of music discovery so besides the great tracks from leather we also has selections from Trillium, Lizzy Borden, Lords of Black and Sunstorm.
