Are you looking for new heavy to start off the weekend? Are you tired of listening to the same old music and are looking for something new and exciting? Yeah me too, so I started scouring the promos to see what excites me, because chances are if I like it, so will you! An offering of molten metal to fuel your Fridays and end the week with a bang! Whether it’s Thrash and Death, Psych and Doom, or Industrial and Extreme Metal, if it’s hot, find it here. And if there is something I missed, let me know about it. With so much new music being released, chances I am bound to miss a few, let me know what you are dying for! And besides, when has fire ever not been cool?

Michigan Sludge rockers in Lord Centipede are the latest guest on The Distorted Dialogue Podcast, who stop by to discuss their newest release, Centipede II: Electric Boogaloo, writing process, underground metal scenes and so much more. Lord Centipede is a mix of sludge and chaos, and I am not sure which one they lean into harder. Sometimes sounding like doom metal, sometimes sounding like thrash, but always sounding heavy. Head over and check out more from Lord Centipede at👇https://morbidandmiserable.bandcamp.com/ @morbidandmiserable  Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology. Where I interview each guest, getting to the bottom of what you want to know. Wether it’s a Headlining Act from the other side of the world or a thrash band next to a river, I am always searching for the next riff, album or tour, and this is where to find out about it. Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us. Don’t think of this as a rapid fire, monotone filler, but rather a conversation where we can all learn about albums, tours and more, while laughing along the way Some keep coming back, so find out why! I don’t just interview musicians, but techs, label executives, industry attorneys and anything else that is metal as hell. Why limit the fun?

Got Riff Media's, Travis Norton swings by to talk about running a college radio program, being in the radio industry, what bands are on his radar and whether Lars Ulrich was right about Napster, on Episode 73. Travis has been working at his college radio station and was posting his playlists on social media, and they were so damn good, I had to reach out and found out how he created them. I met Travis, and his father at a metal concert, after chatting on-line a bit. Now that he is graduating, maybe a radio station in PGH or in the Pittsburgh / Pennsylvania region, reach out at his information below: If you aren't familiar Got Riff, check him and his killer playlists out at the links below.
