Focus on Metal

Richie hit the road and came back with two chats. First up is a talk he had with Jordan Rudess before DreamTheater’s Boston show for “The Astonishing”.

A few days later he spent some time before and after Night Demon’s Boston date on the Final Curse Tour talking with Jarvis Leatherby.

I guess the theme of this one is “comeback”. First up we’ll talk with Falco from Wicked Maraya a band we haven’t heard new music from since 1998. They just dropped “Lifetime in Hell” via Massacre Records and Falco will give us the rundown.

Also this week we have special guest Lee Aaron. She just released “Fire And Gasoline” and it’s her first “rock” record in quite a while. It might not be Metal Queen 2016 but it’s an honest take on where she is now.

Track of the week is off the second release from Lords of Black which contains 12 tracks of awesome metal goodness brought to us by Frontiers Records.

After that we have bassist Chris Van from Outlaws Moonshine (outlawsandmoonshine.com/) and we wrap it up with a chat with everyone from Jessikill (jessikillofficial.com).

Track of the week comes off “Apocalypse Again” the latest release from Thunderstone (thunderstone.org/).

Mike Howe has returned to Metal Church (metalchurchofficial.com/) after 20 years and the result is the incredible Metal Church “XI” which was released on March 26th via Rat Pak Records (ratpakrecordsamerica.com/). We were fortunate enough to be able to sit down with Mike and get his take on this momentous occasion.

So back in ep 274 we spoke to Vivian Campbell about Last in Line and this week we hop on the line with Andrew Freeman to further expand on all things Last in Line (facebook.com/lastinlinerocks/).

We also had a brief chat with Michael Weikath from classic German metallers Helloween (helloween.org/) while they were on their brief US tour.

I think the title pretty much says it all. This week we welcome Glenn Hughes to the show. We dig into several topics including the Hall of Fame induction, the upcoming tour and more Glenn Hughes music on the way.

This week we go back to a behind the scenes guy, the very important Ron "Obvious" Vermeulen. Ron was deeply involved in making Little Mountain the powerhouse it became and almost everyone we talk to says we have to talk with this guy so, we did.

Ron's still active in music and you can track him down at dragonflymobilerecording.com/
