Heavy Metal Tones

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I’m joined by Hansi Hilmer from Boise, Idaho’s dark and heavy maestros Buried Faith. We dig into the band’s journey, the making of their crushing new album, and the driving forces behind their unrelenting sound. I first reviewed this record back in Episode 213, but now we go deeper with Hansi’s own insights. The episode opens with a track he personally chose, and closes with one of my favourites from the album — two powerful cuts framing an in-depth conversation about life in heavy music.

In this bonus blast of Heavy Metal Tones, I dive into the furious debut from Antagonizor — Heavy Metal Bootlicker. Gritty, raw, and snarling with intent, this first recording smashes together the heaviness of classic metal with the snotty, chaotic energy of street punk. Think the driving riffs of Motörhead colliding with the spit and venom of GBH and The Exploited.

And as a special treat, you’ll hear "Ammunition" — one of the record’s fiercest cuts — right here in the episode.

This is crossover with teeth. Don't miss it.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we dive into the high-flying world of power metal pioneers Helloween. From their gritty Hamburg roots to becoming genre-defining icons, we take a quick journey through their early years. Then it's time to raise the pumpkin banner as we dig deep into their groundbreaking 1987 album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 — the record that helped shape power metal as we know it. Soaring vocals, lightning-fast riffs, and fantasy-laced storytelling — this is Helloween at their most majestic.

Then in Part Two, it’s a powerful conversation with Celeste Dudeson of rising heavyweights Ghostseeker. We unpack the themes and sonic direction of their latest record Divergence, a boundary-pushing slab of modern metal that's turning heads across the scene.

Hi my friends this week sees me crashing out with a mighty cold/flu and so I have been in my bed not able to do my usual research and recording as my voice is still not great... As it is the farewell to Ozzy weekend just gone I thought I would up load Ep 46 which has been my most listen to episode so far in the history of the show. So please jump back in time with me to May 25th 2022 when this episode first aired.

Will be back next week and that's a promise.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we plunge into the dark, dynamic soundscape of King Witch and their brand new album III. With thunderous riffs, commanding vocals, and an atmosphere soaked in classic doom and modern heaviness, we break down the record track by track—exploring its themes, sonic power, and where it stands in the band’s evolving legacy.

But that’s not all—at halftime, we kick things into overdrive with a raw, adrenaline-fueled blast from Antagonizor. Their track Midnight Racer is a high-speed assault of punk-infused heavy metal that burns rubber and scorches the senses. It's wild, it's gritty, and it demands your attention from their latest release Edgelords From Hell

Two bands. Two styles. One relentless episode. Turn it up and ride it out with Heavy Metal Tones.

As promised here are the two episodes one a review for Edgelords From Hell and other a cracking interview.

In this second instalment of a two-part deep dive, Heavy Metal Tones explores the dark, daring legacy of Celtic Frost—one of the most innovative and enigmatic forces in extreme metal. From their raw beginnings in Hellhammer to the genre-defying leaps of Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion, we trace the roots of their sound, their artistic vision, and the seismic influence they had on black, death, and avant-garde metal scenes. Join us as we uncover the mythos, the madness, and the music that reshaped heavy metal’s darkest edges.
