EP 254 Iron Maidens Prog Masterclass Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we dive headfirst into one of Iron Maiden’s most ambitious and visionary albums — Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. More than just a record, this was Maiden’s full-blown prog masterclass, where galloping riffs met keyboards, concepts, and a darker, more mystical atmosphere.

In this episode I break down the album track by track, exploring what makes Seventh Son such a pivotal moment in Maiden’s career, from the seamless flow of the songs to the bold decision to fully embrace a concept album. We go behind the scenes as well, looking at the writing, production, and the risks the band took in pushing their sound into more progressive territory — and why those risks paid off in a huge way.

Whether you’ve worn out your vinyl copy over the years or you’re revisiting this classic with fresh ears, this is a deep exploration of an album that still stands tall as one of Iron Maiden’s most creative and influential releases. Crank it up and join me as we uncover the magic, mythology, and metal that make Seventh Son of a Seventh Son truly timeless. 🤘

EP 253 Revisit to episode 131 This Haunted Life from 1/11/2023

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week, the grind of everyday life has forced the shadows to open once more. While I wrestle with a heavy workload, we return to a chapter buried deep in the Heavy Metal Tones archives — Episode 131:This Haunted Life. Recorded in 2023, this episode drags up the ghosts that have stalked the edges of my world for as long as I can remember. Flickering shapes in the dark, whispers that never fade, and the invisible weight that follows me still.

Normal service will resume next week… but for now, descend once more into the haunting.

EP 252 Aarran Tucker – Bass/Vocals of Struck A Nerve interview

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 19:00:00 GMT

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we dive headfirst into a crushing wall of riffs and raw aggression with Aarran Tucker — the bass-thumping, throat-shredding vocalist of UK thrash newcomers Struck A Nerve. Their self-titled debut album has just landed, and it hits hard: fast, furious, and unrelenting. We’ll explore the driving force behind the record — from the grit of recording, the anger fuelling the lyrics, to the horror-infused riffs that make tracks like “Nocturnal Terror,” “Inside the Torture Fortress” and “Raining Death” surge with venom.

Expect stories about what pushed Aarran and the band to create some of the most savage thrash this side of the Atlantic — as well as an inside look at how they plan to take this debut from the studio to the stage. If you’re hungry for head-banging catharsis and brutal honesty, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

This week marks a massive milestone for Heavy Metal Tones — 250 episodes of deep dives, riffs, interviews, and unapologetic metal passion.

EP 242 Possessed's genre defying slice of extreme metal 7 Churches

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 20:00:00 GMT

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we journey back to 1985 and the release of Possessed’s groundbreaking debut Seven Churches — a record that many consider the true birth of death metal. With its unholy mix of thrash speed, guttural vocals, and blasphemous themes, Seven Churches pushed metal into darker, heavier, and more dangerous territory. We’ll dig into its riffs, its chaotic energy, and how it influenced the rise of extreme metal that followed.

For the break, I’ve got something brand new for you — Heads for the Dead return with their chilling new single “Phantasmagoria”, taken from their forthcoming album Never Ending Night of Terror, due out October 10th. A perfect blend of horror and heaviness to pair with this week’s classic deep dive.

Gritty, raw, and snarling with intent, this first recording smashes together the heaviness of classic metal with the snotty, chaotic energy of street punk. Think the driving riffs of Motörhead colliding with the spit and venom of GBH and The Exploited.

And as a special treat, you’ll hear "Ammunition" — one of the record’s fiercest cuts — right here in the episode.

Winter is coming and so we’re dragging you down into the murky depths of doom with a look at Ancient Dreams, the third slab of heaviness from Candlemass. It’s 1988, the riffs are thick, the atmosphere is bleak, and Messiah Marcolin’s voice still sounds like it’s echoing from a cathedral built in hell. I tear into the album track by track—warts, wonders, and all—and ask the big question: does it crush like Nightfall, or does it stumble under its own weight? Tune in and find out. Doom awaits.

EP 220 Metal Church's eponymous first album feel its power.

Tue, 06 May 2025 20:00:00 GMT

Welcome back, headbangers! This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we're diving into the crushing debut from one of thrash metal's most underrated pioneers - Metal Church's self-titled 1984 album.

Emerging from the fertile metal scene of Aberdeen, Washington, Metal Church burst onto the scene with a raw intensity that bridged the gap between traditional heavy metal and the emerging thrash movement. The powerful vocals of David Wayne, whose distinctive high-pitched screams became a hallmark of their sound.

The album's nine tracks showcase a band already confident in their musical vision - from the epic opener "Beyond the Black" to the menacing "Merciless Onslaught." Lyrically, Metal Church tackled themes of apocalyptic destruction, societal collapse, and religious hypocrisy - perfectly complementing their aggressive instrumental attack.

What sets this debut apart is its technical precision coupled with an unrelenting heaviness. Dual guitarists Craig Wells and Kurdt Vanderhoof delivered intricate riffs and blistering solos while the rhythm section of bassist Duke Erickson and drummer Kirk Arrington maintained a thunderous foundation throughout.

Often overshadowed by their more commercially successful peers, Metal Church's debut remains a testament to the raw power and innovation of early American metal. Join us as we celebrate this thrash classic, track by track, and explore how it influenced generations of metal acts to follow.

EP 199 Extreme metals new blood RotPit's Long Live The Rot

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 19:00:22 GMT

Rotpit’s “Long Live the Rot" is an unrelenting force in the extreme metal scene. The album showcases the band’s mastery of raw, brutal soundscapes that merge elements of death metal, grindcore, and black metal. From the moment the first track hits, Long Live the Rot drags listeners through a grimy, suffocating underworld, packed with ferocious blast beats, guttural growls, and corrosive riffs. Their aggressive, no-holds-barred approach fits perfectly within the boundaries of extreme metal, while pushing those boundaries with an uncompromising intensity. The album is not just a sonic assault; it’s an artistic statement that explores themes of decay, nihilism, and existential destruction, all while maintaining a sharp focus on dissonance and technicality. For fans of visceral, high-energy metal that leaves no room for compromise, Long Live the Rot is an essential listen and solidifies Rotpit’s place in the pantheon of extreme metal’s most exciting new voices.

The Episodes you should check out are as mentioned are Episode 123, 150 - Interview with Ralf Hauber and 160. all are worth a listen to if you find yourself liking the Rotpit album.

Ep 167 - Crass their influences on Extreme Metal and the ground breaking third album

Tue, 21 May 2024 20:00:51 GMT

Hey I thought this sounds like a fascinating topic for a podcast episode! Crass definitely had a significant influence on the punk and hardcore scenes, but their impact on extreme metal is not as widely discussed. Exploring the connections between Crass's anarchistic philosophy and the themes found in extreme metal could lead to some interesting insights. Their DIY ethos and uncompromising attitude could resonate with many fans of extreme metal. Overall, I think delving into the history of Crass and their influence on different genres of music would make for a compelling podcast episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Ep 133 - Welcome To Hell Venom's call to arms

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 19:00:47 GMT

In 1981 the world was a different place, a place where anything went and punk had charged the worlds youth with the anyone can do it attitude. So three talented young men from the north of England smashed the burgeoning NWOBHM scene apart by creating a whole new genre. This is their call to arms and it’s raw, angry, fast and addictive.

Ep 131 - This Haunted Life

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 19:00:31 GMT

A slightly different show this week no music involved, for the spooky season Id thought I would recant some my personal Ghost stories not all of them as I will save the rest for a part two one day.

They are not edge of your seat stuff apart from one. But you will have to wait to the second part of the show to hear that one. Keep safe this Season and if you are going chasing spooks take a leaf out of my book and be careful.

Ep 130 - Sabbat's Dreamweaver a uniquely British sounding Classic

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 19:00:31 GMT

This weeks dive into a cult classic is a surprising album that is hidden away from the eyes of the mainstream but should be celebrated for its ambition and its vision.

Sabbat have crafted one of those albums that gets under your skin that has more in common with Genesis The lamb Lies Down On Broadway then it does with Slayers Reign In Blood.

A uniquely British sound that you wont here anywhere else.

Ep 108 - The art of Rock, emotive images that changed our world

Tue, 30 May 2023 20:00:11 GMT

Well where would we be without art and in rock its a post 50's teenage boom that brought the medium of music clashing with the art of packaging, Then smashing head first into the nihilism of Punk in the late 70's. Followed by the plastic modernism of the cold war world. Synths ablaze and fluro splashes abound. This week i take a little trip through album art without the aid of notes. I thought its been a little while since i jumped in with np safety net.

So guys here’s my take on Marillion second album and possibly my 2nd favourite if i’m honest. This week the first parts the story of lots of drummers which even with notes i got mixed up. How they kept track is beyond me. And then a track by track in part 2. I’m using the 2021 remix for this one.. But i’d encourage to listen to the original mix to get a good understanding of how amazing the remix really is.

Lyrics that when i read through them were just on the odd side of bad taste but that’s what made NWOBHM what it is.

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 20:00:53 GMT

Come with me on my journey through the heavy side of Italian horror and the craziness of soundtrack collecting. My journey has been long and exciting and it all started it the 70's when i visited Dark They Where And Golden Eyed to the original Forbidden Planet in Denmark Street. Exciting journeys into film madness with my brother. Horror movies have always been part of my life and heavy metal and heavy themes are always linked from the crazy Video nasties to the weird and wacky and nasty Italian exploitation cinema.

Ep 54 - Where Did The Blues Go Man?

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 20:00:08 GMT

Heavy Metal always had a blues swagger to it a sense of swing and easily accessible chord structures, That with little practice you could build the heaviest music in the world.

But that swagger, that drive and access point seems to have got lost. More and more we are bombarded by cold impenetrable monolithic chords and million note solo's.

This is not a bad thing ( i love all this stuff) but i also long for the soul of the blues that drives all the classics of the past. Lets Bring back the blues in our heavy music.

Tue, 03 May 2022 20:00:04 GMT

Across the oceans and in two very different cities a counter culture was bubbling under. One a speed driven surf infused art house vibe that had more in common with Jack Keroauc and beat poetry then they would care to admit. The Other a need to flee the slums and hum drum of a country brought to its knees by a government that broke the promise of a utopian post war dream. From the plastic fantastic of swinging 60’s London to the filth and the fury of generation of dole line denizens. GENERATION X. This weeks episode address all of the above and how 2 different cultures mixed to create the movement that freed music from the tyrannies of the institutionalised record labels and said.

ANYONE CAN DO THIS ALL YOU NEED IS A GUITAR, 3 CHORDS AND ENOUGH BALLS TO GIVE IT A GO. It broke down class barriers, race barriers and gender stereotypes to proclaim COME AND HAVE A GO. It had one badge one banner and that was PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ep 28 - Tony Martin THORNS review

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 19:00:00 GMT

It’s no secret here on the show if you have been listening from the start. I am a very big fan of Tony Martin Sabbath era Headless cross being for me one of the best later period albums. And my very first gig was on that tour. Lets take a dive into one of Rocks best voices and explore his past and present works

Remember to give me a rating on what ever streaming service you use.

Cheers
