Toxik Tad talks me through the band's time with Roadrunner Records, his time filling in on drums for the Great Kat, and bringing Morrisound's studio's Tom Morris close to death not once, but on two occassions.

Check out Tad's art and music at the links above!

A voice like @StephenHillBoy's has been missing from this project up until today. Incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, Stephen talks me through his perspective and experiences with Roadrunner Records.

Check out @Riotact_podcast and @Roadcrewpod at your earliest convenience.

A thoroughly enjoyable chat for myself. Kärtsy and I try to provide a comprehensive introduction to Finnish legends, Waltari - as well as discussing the band's tenure with Roadrunner in the early 90's.

Shab goes off the rails with his 'founders of metalcore' theory. It's not to the point of tedium yet, so we should support him through what must be a difficult time for him.

Thrash legends Xentrix are one of the 'Big Four' of the UK, and one of a mere few direct signings to the UK territory for Roadrunner. Stan helps me unpack Xentrix's tenure with the label, and the more recent adventures of the group.

PSA - if you want to jump straight to the Roadrunner stuff, it's 45 minutes in. Stick around for the start though, to hear about Ro's antics with War Machine Customs.

A man of many customs close to this host's heart, Ro started with Roadrunner in 1995. Here he tells his story of how the Roadrunner Road Crew street team function operated, as well as his thoughts on the label during that time.

We also discuss Ro's venture for the past 12 years, War Machine Customs, and a cheeky bit of Star Wars as well.

You'd be hard pressed to find a Roadrunner band or colleague who doesn't know this episode's guest. Mark Abramson was Roadrunner's VP of Promotions, focusing primarily on radio airplay.

Here he talks about his days in the 'Death Metal Animal House', and his career trajectory at Roadrunner and beyond. We only get to about the year 2000 here, so we'll definitely revisit Mark's story in the future.

The Welsh take a hit in this one. Sorry guys.

Most of this episode is Dave catching up on topics that have been discussed over the past few weeks, but there's also spatterings of Sasscore and a quick jaunt into Sci-Fi Metal.

EPISODE 3 PLAYLIST https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6o5MjHOwDD2k6YHnlDO5Ga?si=mo0CkY4RQ3KemmgDaiI7JA

Temple of Bleh and Uber Rock join forces to bring you a whistle stop tour of four bands who wear the 'lesser heard' tag. These are bands that are either unsigned or generally lurk in the underground at the moment, so we want to turn the spotlight and roll out the red carpet for today's cryptic offerings;

RobaJett offers Bantha Rider (https://bantharider.bandcamp.com/)

Justin offers Frayle (https://frayle.bandcamp.com/)

Raw offers Antzaat (https://digital.immortalfrostproductions.com/album/for-you-men-who-gaze-into-the-sun)

Jonny offers Primal Instinct (https://primal-instinct.bandcamp.com/album/devastation/)

Give these a listen, and reverse their 'lesser heard' status!
