Break free from the chains of your failing band! Join Maledictus once more as he pursues these legendary (and not so) front men on their perilous journeys of metal independence and ultimately failure for some... only to end up back where they started if they were lucky!

I'm Back! It's been a long time, however I needed to share with you this very important list on metal's most punchable bands. None of the metal bands listed on this podcast should really be a shock to any one of my 3 listeners, and lot of it is simply low hanging fruit. Never the less, I think you'll find this list rather cathartic, and even re-assuring as all of your most hated bands are summary punched for their crimes against the sanctity of all that is metal.

Follow Your scribe to all things metal on a journey to a place where everyone is annoyingly happy all of the time as the result of unbridled social democracy: Scandinavia In this arbitrary playlist episode we explore the homegrown retro rock and metal scene of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Germany and how it's saving metal from a dominant culture of "edgy" but pointless "post" New metal bands bands that rule the scene currently.

We bring you the second and final segment of our in-depth look into the depraved existence of Aleister Crowley. In the episode we'll cover Crowleys sinister exploits at his personal den of debauchery , The Abbey of Thelema, his inevitable downfall into heroin addicted obscurity, his lonely death, and his immortal legacy reborn in the fires of 60's rock music to present day.

You may have heard of him - perhaps from Ozzy Osboune , or maybe Led Zeppelin. Aleister Crowley was a man who lived, and played on 10, through his ravenous appetite for sex, drugs, and adventure. He lived the life a a modern rock star way before it was cool, during an era of great social restrictions, indulging in ritualistic sex magik, copious amounts of drugs, and demon summoning rites along with an endless parade of scarlet women and obedient disciples. Crowley's existence of depravity and "do as thou wilt" philosophy was only made easier by his inherited wealth and privileged upbringing, ceaselessly circling the globe at his pleasure, frequently leaving a trail of destruction, with little empathy on his part. Despite Crowley's sinister legacy, who really was the man they bestowed the honor of being "The most wicked man in the world?" Let's find out...

We continue our series on essential metal with Megadeth's Iconic masterpiece: Rust In Peace. This album would set a new standard in sophistication for the genre and be one of the last mainstream metal albums to utilize such complex song structures in what would be a decade of decline in traditional metal, favoring a more scaled-down simplified sound. This album would also represent Megadeth's most musically adept, and stable lineup to ever endure the band's prior reputation for revolving door line-ups, featuring Marty Friedman and the late Nick Menza.

Keep those big sneakers on your feet and your bullet belts buckled as our journey into the history and evolution of thrash metal turns west; straight into the sunny skies, and endless beaches, and pretentious movie stars that only serve to infuriate the mutated denizens of the furious nuclear wasteland where, the inextinguishable toxic fires rage as a backdrop to the sound of some of the most iconic thrash bands to ever open up the pit.
