In the 1880's there was a group of settlers going to Califorina...The Donner Party...They were stranded and left for dead, they ate their leather products and eventually each other...

Fast forward and the souls of those on the terrible mountain pass are reborn and absolutely soul ground into a Thrash metal master band: THE DONNER PARTY!!! Their latest album, "Cutting Class" was released in June 2023 by friend of The Metal Forge, Paul Caravasi from Soulgrinder Zine. His new venture Soulgrinder Records is ramping up and this is just the start!

Jason Gardner is back this week with a new studio instrument... While digging around in the Jundland wastes of Tattooine, he discovered a magic unknown to this world and with this Audio Droid SM7B, he had to light speed back to get this one to you!
