The Department of Metal Antiquities

In the late 80's, a band named Bang Tango burst onto the scene and made some hay. Unfortunately, they arrived as the party was ending.

After some ins and outs and stops and starts, Bang Tango gave way to Beautiful Creatures.

That's what Nik and Duncan are taking on today!

Today, Nik and Duncan took on the last album by Black Sabbath proper that they'll be doing on this podcast.

Of course the wellspring that is Heavy Metal sprouts at all things Black Sabbath.

This is the third album featuring the seventh vocalist in Black Sabbath's history, Tony Martin.

See what all the fuss is about!

At the turn of the 1970's, the man who'd become Peter Criss was involved with the future co-writers of Beth.

This band of course was Chelsea.

Join Nik and Duncan as they dig in.

Nik and Duncan get into this album by former Iron Maiden vocalist, Paul Di'Anno.

Join Nik and Duncan as they tell you all about it.

This week Nik and Duncan, the Dunking, unearth some Iron Maiden content.

As the Guns n Roses car was slowly crashing into fame and stardom, pieces started being tossed aside.

Number two was Izzy Stradlin.

Join us as we delve into his first solo record.

When the vast tidal waves of reunion were happening, the craving, crawling, and desiring public nearly got that Led Zeppelin reunion we were desiring and requiring.

Instead, we got the two voices of Led Zeppelin making a brand new record.

Nik and Duncan dig deep on it.

In 2001, John Paul Jones, late of Led Zeppelin, came back out of hiding and dropped this record on our laps.

Do you remember it? Nik had never even heard of this one before.

Join him and Duncan as they dig deeply into its grooves.
