The Department of Metal Antiquities

In 1995, the ex-drummer from Slayer, Dave Lombardo, released the first of many non-Slayer albums of his career. He was joined by some relatively unknown members to create a thrash(?) band of little reknown.

Duncan and Nik dig into this, the history of Messir Lombardo, and all of the craziness of Nik's musical journey of sidemen, solo records, and odd ducklings.

Let's check in on some intrigue and lawyer business with the first (and only) Queensryche record featuring Geoff Tate and NO ONE ELSE other than a cavalcade of guest stars.

Should we spin it or bin it?

Do you remember all of those times you saw Iggy Pop on TV? Man, just seeing him as a Vorta on DS9 was enough to throw me into a tizzy.

Well, let's get back to one of his musical periods as we examine the transitional record that is Kill City.

Let's get ourselves right back into the mix and mess up the mix and mix up the mess.

Back in the early 80's, there was a band called Pantera and it featured the Abbot Brothers, Rex Brown, but not Phil Anselmo.

It's well known to the metal community that this lineup of the band did get into the studio and release four albums, they refuse to re-release those indie albums they did. So, in true Department of Metal Antiquities fashion, Duncan and Nik get all up in the business of Metal Magic.

Sorry for the week off, but we are back and better than ever! This week Duncan and Nik were joined by the lead guitarist of the New York Extreme Metal Band, Sickbay.

After the second departure of Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin came back for his second official tenure.

If you're a long time listener, you might have already heard this unless you didn't start at the very beginning. 

So, let's pretend this is a new episode to all?

Back in 1982, after the untimely death of Randy Rhoads, Ozzy recruited a couple other guitarists and settled on Brad Gillis to do the recording of a set of Black Sabbath classics.

We dig into this interesting album and give you all the information we can find.

At the end of 1983, something unique happened. Two masters of glam rock and glam pop rock got together and wrote a song. Those two greats would be Neal Schon of Journey and Sammy Hagar of Montrose, solo, and later Van Halen.

Joined by a tight rhythm section, they took the show on the road and that's largely how they recorded the album as well.

Sometimes it's hard to believe how things just get lost. Here's a great example of that. Back in the middle 90's some really cool stuff was happening in the Van Halen camp and everybody thought something big was going down.

Well what happened?

Sammy was out, DLR was in then out, and Gary Cherone was IN. Come along as Nik details seeing the Cherone led Van Halen live and gives you the history of a very turbulent time in Van Halen's history.

Duncan gives you the ins and outs of the music and we'll decide if you should spin it or bin it.

When we dig deep into the world of metal, sometimes we find things that don't always seem to fight just right. Picture, if you can, Matt Sorum playing in a band that sounds like Jem and the Holograms that's fronted by Tori Amos.

If that's messed with your brains, awesome, because it sure as shootin' messed with mine.

Have you taken some time to get yourself right with the lord?

A little over a decade ago, Korn joined forces with some of Eletronic music's biggest names in order to make a Korn record.
