In this conversation, Huerta takes us inside the creation of legendary visual identities tied to AC/DC, Boston, Blue Öyster Cult, and Ted Nugent—explaining how these now-iconic designs began as everyday assignments inside the 1970s record industry.

In this conversation, Warren Haynes reflects on the 30-year reissue of Tales Of Ordinary Madness and why revisiting the record mattered now. Haynes discusses defining his solo voice outside of his band work, choosing a metal-leaning label for a deeply personal album, and why the previously unreleased track “Tear Me Down” was left off the original release. He also reflects on Chuck Leavell’s role in shaping the record and how distance from the era allowed the album to be heard as originally intended. The conversation expands into writing “Desiree” for the TV series Landman, building theme-based live shows (including an all-Black Sabbath night in Atlanta), playing with Roger Glover and Deep Purple, honoring Bob Weir’s musical legacy, the current state of Gov’t Mule in 2026, and life outside music — including Warren’s growing appreciation for hockey. 00:00 Intro Tease03:20 Defining His Solo Voice on Tales Of Ordinary Madness05:48 Choosing a Metal Label for a Solo Album09:57 Why “Tear Me Down” Was Left Off the Original Release11:40 Chuck Leavell’s Role in Shaping the Record18:47 Writing “Desiree” for the TV Series Landman24:34 Theme-Based Live Shows & Playing Black Sabbath in Atlanta26:01 Playing with Roger Glover & Deep Purple26:37 Honoring Bob Weir’s Musical Legacy29:46 Gov’t Mule in 2026: Lineup, Health & Future Plans33:10 Life Outside Music & Discovering Hockey Learn more about your ad choices.

Growing up in New York City, DMC discovered rock and metal through radio, hearing bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest at a formative age. He explains how those sounds were already embedded in early hip-hop culture, from DJs digging through crates to the attitude and energy that shaped Run-DMC from the very beginning. The discussion revisits key moments such as “Rock Box” and “Walk This Way,” why rock was always part of Run-DMC’s DNA, and how those records opened creative doors that still matter today. DMC also talks about his decision to actively create rock and metal music himself, leading to projects like HellRaisers and his 2026 solo metal single “She Gets Me High.” Additional topics include NYC hardcore roots, playing with Agnostic Front, sharing stages with Sammy Hagar, opening for Lou Reed, and how creativity, authenticity, and curiosity continue to guide his work. 00:00 Show Open & Pre-Roll Tease 04:23 What Music Sounded Like in DMC’s House Growing Up 05:58 Discovering Rock on WABC and the First Metal Obsession (Black Sabbath) 09:11 Rock and Early Hip-Hop Culture — DJs, Crates, and Crossover 11:23 “Rock Box” and Why Rock Was Always in Run-DMC’s DNA 14:16 “Walk This Way” — History, Impact, and the Permission Moment 25:25 When DMC Decided to Start Making Rock Music 28:10 DMC and the HellRaisers — Live Reactions and Reality 31:25 Rock DNA Across Classic Run-DMC Songs (King of Rock, It’s Tricky, Mary, Mary, Why You Buggin’) 36:17 “She Gets Me High” — DMC’s Solo Metal Direction and Lineup 47:13 Hardcore Roots — Agnostic Front, NYC, and Underground Energy 56:22 Legacy, Creativity, and What DMC Is About Today 01:09:22 Wrap-Up & Where to Follow DMC Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 3636 Remembering Randy Rhoads: Bob Daisley on Ozzy, Sabbath & His 6-Decade Legacy March 19, 2025, marks 43 years since the tragic loss of guitar legend Randy Rhoads, and to honor his legacy, we sit down with the one and only Bob Daisley—the bassist and songwriter behind Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard of Ozz era. Bob takes us deep inside the creation of two of the greatest heavy metal albums ever—Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman—revealing untold stories about Randy’s work ethic, genius, and lasting influence. But this interview isn’t just about Ozzy—Bob’s six-decade career spans some of the most legendary bands in rock history, from Rainbow and Uriah Heep to Black Sabbath and beyond. We talk about his songwriting contributions, working with Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Gary Moore, and why his time with Ozzy came to an end. Whether you’re a die-hard Ozzy Osbourne fan, a guitarist inspired by Randy Rhoads or just a metalhead who loves hearing first-hand stories from the legends, this episode is a must-listen.

]]> 5001 James Durbin: Singing with Judas Priest on American Idol In this episode, we’re exploring the new James Durbin CD “Screaming Steel”. Durbin is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Santa Cruz, California.

Dave covers off on the Kings Of Thrash performances scheduled at the Ultimate NAMM Metal Jam & the Metal Hall Of Fame gala, the Metal Allegiance 10th anniversary & Montrose Remembered concerts, plus NAMM itself in which he will be promoting the Ellefson Coffee Company & the soon to be released Nick Menza documentary, “This Was My Life”.  In the conversation, we also take a look back in time to the Summer of 1986 when Megadeth visited Rochester, NY & The House Of Guitars as a support act for King Diamond, plus he re-visits his FIRST Heavy Metal supergroup, Hail!, a band that also included Mike Portnoy, Andreas Kisser, & Tim “Ripper” Owens amongst others. Covering what felt like 40 years of Heavy Metal history in 30 minutes, Dave shares some great memories of his life in the heavy metal scene & on the road as he’s performed in pretty much every country you could imagine and then some! On a personal side of things, Dave shares some pearls of wisdom, his motto for 2024 & how he manages & balances his thriving businesses & musical career, and what’s to come down the line (hint: another book may be on the horizon). Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC. Thank you for the support and remember to always KEEP IT HEAVY.

]]> 2360 Filmmaker Damian Kolodiy IMMORTAL SOUL: A RIOT TRIBUTE & CONCERT FILM. On this episode, we’re joined by Damian Kolodiy, Filmmaker & Founder of NYC ROCKS, a reality web series that follows people & bands active in today’s rock & metal scene. Damian, a NYC native currently residing in Germany, is promoting his new YouTube series covering the long history of the legendary NYC hard rock band, Riot: IMMORTAL SOUL: A RIOT TRIBUTE & CONCERT FILM. His 4-part documentary mini-series explores the history and archives of the different eras of the band, spotlighting specific live performances from each era. The film centers around the Keep It True festival (2022) in Germany, where interviews with Riot fans young and old illustrate this passion for the band. “Immortal Soul” also features interviews with longtime Riot members Don Van Stavern and Mike Flyntz, as well as “New York Rock” author/historian Steven Blush and Keep It True Festival founder Oliver Weinsheimer. The final chapter of the series tells the origin story of the current day formation of the band, Riot V, and how they are well suited to carry on the musical legacy of founder Mark Reale for a new generation of fans. In our dialogue with Damian, we learn just how he discovered this underappreciated band decades after their formation, what inspired him to make this film series, & how he set out to what would result in a massive undertaking of a project. Far more than just a chronicle & timeline of the bands career, his unique twist to their story comes to life with the amazing volume of archival content contained in the episodes. With vintage concert footage, 8mm personal film, concert advertisements plus hundreds of never seen before photos obtained from the family & estate of Mark Reale, as the Filmmaker states, “It’s a great story. My goal is so Riot is not forgotten”.  Additionally, post-conversation with Damian, we caught up with Rick Ventura, Riot Guitarist from 1979 – 1983 & Founder of current & active band, Riot Act. In this exclusive conversation, we get Rick’s commentary on episodes 1 & 2, as well as his reflections from his time in the band, including some great stories from that era! As Rick tells us, this was a great time in his life & something that continues to motivate him to keep the legacy of Riot alive & well decades later.

]]> 3727 Metal Mayhem ROC:WICKED Rockers return with new Rock Anthem single On this week's episode we welcome back our old friends Modern-day melodic/theatrical rockers Wicked to the show. The band have their second CD set for a March 2024 release and this fall have started rolling out singles from the disc. November 2023 had the first single "Lost in The Dark", and now they are back with the latest single/video – which turns out to be its title track, 'Sunburn.' https://chipsterpr.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bdb1a8377ea3eeb263b993237&id=9a1ebc7c10&e=4a523428da Additionally, Wicked will be taking part in a livestream interactive release show dubbed "The Rock N Roll Circus Show" on December 8, 2023 at 8pm, which will be the kickoff of the series of this rock n' roll variety show. The live streamed show will focus on the "Sunburn" single, but also featuring performances, behind the scenes footage, live interactions with the band, giveaways, and more, via this link: https://youtube.com/@WICKEDROCKNROLL?si=mVBzRSnoNyqD8NOb  The band (singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar) describes "Sunburn" as "A punchy, punishing rocker, with sharpened punk edges and lyrical prowess that could have easily been played at an aggressive Michael Monroe show on the Lower East Side, or on MTV in the 90s by a band like Third Eye Blind.  The second single off the upcoming sophomore album 'Sunburn' gives the vibe of that saying, 'too much of a good thing,' and is accompanied by footage from our cross-country escape to California. We drove 38 hours straight in the band van from coast to coast, facing all the surprises old Route 66 had to offer – from storms to vehicle breakdowns and all the new faces we got to meet. From Cali beaches to the Joshua Tree desert, we brought our rock n' roll party and burnt the candle at both ends. It was a perfect way to live out the metaphorical meaning of 'Sunburn' is a song about excess and its repercussions. Don’t miss what happens to the band in our music video after we invite these rock n' roll ladies to our desert getaway!"    In 2023 it’s born with one purpose and that’s to fly the flag of that unapologetic Rock N Roll lifestyle and be your next summer anthem!"

Don’t miss what happens to the band in our music video after we invite these rock n' roll ladies to our desert getaway!" 

 

In 2023 it’s born with one purpose and that’s to fly the flag of that unapologetic Rock N Roll lifestyle and be your next summer anthem!"


Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.

]]> 1914 Metal Mayhem ROC: Kirk Hammett Interview https://www.metalmayhemroc.com/ On this episode, we’re joined by Kirk Hammett of Metallica to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the “Kill ‘Em All” album. In this special installment of Metal Mayhem ROC, we go back in time for an in-depth look back at the rehearsals & the recording of the album that took place in our hometown of Rochester, NY in 1983. In this feature conversation, Kirk gets reacquainted with some of the people who lived it with Metallica, both professionally & on the friendship side of the relationships with the band. Showcased in this exclusive interview are over 40 never seen before candid photos from the studio & the surrounding Rochester area, Lakeshore Record Exchange, The Riverboat concert with Raven & so much more, all of which have been unearthed from personal collections & scrapbooks! In addition, we re-visit with the MetLife Stadium (NJ) August 2023 gigs & Kirk reveals what his passion is for New Jersey outside of music (hint: sand & surf), and he opens up about his fervor for Deep Purple & Tommy Bolin. This is a true trip down Heavy Metal memory lane & a unique conversation that unveils the human & personal side of this Heavy Metal legend, brought to you exclusively from Metal Mayhem ROC.

]]> 4807 Metal Mayhem ROC:PICTURES ALIVE- ROCK SHOWS OF THE 80s & BEYOND On this episode we’re joined by Northern California based amateur Photographer, Steve Roney & book Author Scott Davis. Steve & Scott, lifelong friends, are promoting an amazing book titled PICTURES ALIVE: ROCK SHOWS OF THE 80s & BEYOND. The elaborate collection of amazing photos & stories contained in the book taken from concerts in the Bay area during the hey-day of Rock & Metal during the 1980s, is not your typical paint by numbers book, but instead is presented from the perspective & viewpoint of a music fan & enthusiastic concert goer. Steve & Scott were just like the rest of us, Heavy Metal junkies who loved to see their favorite bands, however Steve was THAT guy who snuck his camera into the show & decades later has unearthed these never seen before photos from bands like Van Halen, Kiss, Dio, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Ozzy, Scorpions, Motley Crue and many others. But what makes his collection unique is that the photos are not professional, but still pretty damn good! Heck, who didn’t at some point try to sneak in a camera or cassette recorder to a concert! But beyond the pictures are the recaps and stories from the shows, the ticket stubs & concert ads, setlists, the interfaces with the bands themselves & the comradery with his best friends. Ask yourself this: Did you ever catch a guitar pick from Eddie Van Halen or take a joy ride on the hood of Steve Vai’s car or witness Nikki Sixx autograph someone’s t*ts? Well, Steve did!

]]> 3932 Metal Mayhem ROC: 90's Replacement Metal Singers - THRASH or TRASH? On this episode of Rock & Roll Detention, Metal Mayhem ROC Hosts Metal Walt, Ian O’Rourke & Vinyl Vince McDowell take a thorough look into some of the major Heavy Metal bands that replaced their original Singers during the 1990s: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue & Anthrax. We discuss the changing industry & Metal scene in the 90s, what prompted each of these bands to change their original Singer & how & why the new Singers were recruited. In addition, we examine what impact the changes had on the band, including if the band’s sound changed, what it did to the reputation of the band, & the effect it had on stage & in the live setting. Also, we take a big look into the new music that made at that time, dissecting many of the albums & songs & we have an honest throwdown as to if the new material was better or worse than the prior catalog. In the end, we conclude on the sustainability & longevity on each of the Singers & who fared the best & why, both then & now. And of course, we settle on what ultimately happened, in the end, for each band to eventually decide to go back to the original Singers: Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Vince Neil & Joey Belladonna.  Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.

]]> 2660 Metal Mayhem ROC: “Power Trip festival report: The weekend recapped” On this episode, we present a firsthand account of the highly anticipated POWER TRIP festival that took place in Indio, CA on the weekend of 06-08 Oct, 2023.  Metal Mayhem ROC friend & contributor, Mike Dadura (a native of Philadelphia, PA), who was in attendance for the 3-day event, brings to us an in-depth & revealing recap of the full weekend. POWERTRIP featured Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden (Friday, October 6), AC/DC and Judas Priest (Saturday, October 7) and Metallica and Tool (Sunday, October 8). Mike shares all of the details, including everything from flying from the east coast to California, his accommodations, ride sharing mishaps, concession pricing and excessive logistic hurdles. As he put it, it was a VERY expensive weekend, but one for the ages & worth every Penny! In addition, we get the scoop on the venue setup & the challenges of maneuvering through an area that contained 200,000 plus attendees. But most importantly, we hear all about the bands & the performances themselves, with Mike illustrating the highlights & lowlights of each of the bands based on what he saw & heard. And coming off of the concert stage, we hear about many of our Metal heroes hanging around to watch & support one another from the perspective of being a fan, and we get the low-down on the makeshift AC/DC bar that was a focal point for the weekend in a nearby town.

]]> 4037 Metal Mayhem ROC: Tommy Victor of PRONG talks new album, Metallica parking lot gig, & meeting Iommi, Dio & Ozzy Hello Thrashers,  On this episode, we’re joined by heavy metal “Lifer” Tommy Victor of the iconic NYC metal band, Prong. He’s been at it for 35 plus years & he joined us to promote the new Prong album, “State of Emergency”, their 13th studio album. Tommy, a true “New Yorker”, talks about is return to the East Coast, the secrets behind the Prong signature sound & why he chooses to write about current events that are revealed via his well-informed & sophisticated song lyrics.  In this exclusive conversation, he opens up about the bands’ now famous Parking Lot gig opening up for Metallica in NJ in August 2023 & just how he and the band got the call & more importantly, why! His vivid explanations of that day & the weekend as a whole, add a lot of color to what was an amazing day! And as always, we take a deep-dive into the KILLER new album, dissecting everything from the songs to the themes buried in the lyrics, to the variety of musical styles on the record and of course, the videos & artwork. We hear about the much-anticipated upcoming NJ record release concert, plus touring plans, and we get deep on our mutual love for the Canadian band, RUSH & just why he chose to cover a staple RUSH song (and why it’s the perfect song to close out the new album). As the conversation loosens up, we hear all about his pride for being an NYC guy, and he takes us back to the early days (early 90s) touring with Black Sabbath & Ozzy AND how it felt to meet his heroes for the first time! It’s a fun one and Tommy wears his heart on his sleeve throughout the full conversation.

He’s been at it for 35 plus years & he joined us to promote the new Prong album, “State of Emergency”, their 13th studio album. Tommy, a true “New Yorker”, talks about is return to the East Coast, the secrets behind the Prong signature sound & why he chooses to write about current events that are revealed via his well-informed & sophisticated song lyrics.  In this exclusive conversation, he opens up about the bands’ now famous Parking Lot gig opening up for Metallica in NJ in August 2023 & just how he and the band got the call & more importantly, why!

]]> 2379 Metal Mayhem ROC: Ronnie Romero- New solo album, Elegant Weapons & playing with Blackmore & Schenker. On this week’s show, we’re joined by melodic rock Vocalist Ronnie Romero, an artist who got his name on the heavy metal map debuting as Singer of Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow, followed by an extensive stint with Michael Schenker.  Raised in Chile, lived in Spain, and now resides in Romania, he is truly a Global musician & hands down is the hardest working man in the rock business! In 2023 alone he released his second all-covers album, toured Europe with the Rock Meets Classic ensemble, plus the band he co-leads with Richie Faulkner, Elegant Weapons, released their debut album & toured the European Summer festival circuit. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s just released his brand-new solo album “Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters”, a labor of love Ronnie put all of his heart & soul into!  Ronnie shares a lot about his intentions for 2023 and in the future, as he takes his first big step into taking on all aspects of his musical career on his own, from the song writing to the producing, managing of his Brand, etc. & we take an in-depth look at the songs on the new album. Also, he talks all about the overwhelming response received from playing the new Elegant Weapons material to massive audiences, many who had likely never heard a song before & impromptu approach in selecting cover songs to add to the setlist. Ronnie reveals just how he got into music (it was a family affair, as his Grandfather led a Big Band Orchestra & his Dad was the Crooner), the privilege of working with so many major artists in such a short period of his career, and how he’s been able to put out so much material in the last 10 years.  In addition, we hear about his passion for CD shopping (something he still does on a regular basis as he travels the globe!), his philosophy for only picking deep cuts for his latest covers albums, how his wife ended up as the Model on the album covers, and he reveals a big answer to an important question sent in from a Listener about the future of Elegant Weapons. And of course, we couldn’t leave the conversation without talking about his experiences and impressions of both guitar gods (Blackmore & Schenker), as Ronnie reflects back on just what he learned from his mentors, plus he’s sharing a great story of his time playing soccer with the Rainbow crew.

]]> 4008 Metal Mayhem ROC: Udo Dirkschneider-New album, Fall US tour & re-connecting with bassist Peter Baltes. Hello Headbangers, On this weeks’ show, we’re joined by Udo Dirkschneider, the legendary German heavy metal Vocalist currently of U.D.O. and of course from the peak era of Accept. Udo joined us to promote the bands’ just released new album “Touchdown”. We take a deep-dive into the new album, providing our takeaways of the material & of course hearing all about it from the Artist himself. In the episode we cover everything from the inspiration behind a European choosing to name the new album after an American sport, how writing 13 songs for the “Touchdown” album was an easy task, a recap of the bands Summer European tour & future touring plans in the US & rest of world to support “Touchdown” as well as providing his feelings & some insight on his 36-year career as a Solo artist & extensive discography (19 U.D.O. studio releases!).  In addition, Udo gets a bit personal, telling us just how it’d been performing with old friend Peter Baltes again, plus the kinds of “things” & experiences that he’s had in his lengthy career that REALLY get him fired up (and a bit PISSED OFF). We even get the answer to a great Listener question about a long-debated (mis) interpretation of a lyric from a classic Accept song, some commentary on “if” he would ever perform the Frank Sinatra classic song “My Way” in a live setting, & just how the US tour Promoter has him by the “Balls” (To The Wall), when it comes to what they expect the band to play live in the States.

We even get the answer to a great Listener question about a long-debated (mis) interpretation of a lyric from a classic Accept song, some commentary on “if” he would ever perform the Frank Sinatra classic song “My Way” in a live setting, & just how the US tour Promoter has him by the “Balls” (To The Wall), when it comes to what they expect the band to play live in the States.

On this weeks’ show, we’re joined by Udo Dirkschneider, the legendary German heavy metal Vocalist currently of U.D.O. and of course from the peak era of Accept. Udo joined us to promote the bands’ just released new album “Touchdown”. We take a deep-dive into the new album, providing our takeaways of the material & of course hearing all about it from the Artist himself.

In the episode we cover everything from the inspiration behind a European choosing to name the new album after an American sport, how writing 13 songs for the “Touchdown” album was an easy task, a recap of the bands Summer European tour & future touring plans in the US & rest of world to support “Touchdown” as well as providing his feelings & some insight on his 36-year career as a Solo artist & extensive discography (19 U.D.O. studio releases!).

The new album features 11 hard-hitting tracks which were originally written by the original lineup in the early 80s, but recorded by the new lineup. Stay tuned for big things coming from Witchslayer soon! Jeff joins us to talk about the history of the band, the new release, and plans for 2023.

Hello Metal Mayhem ROC Maniacs'.

To kick off summer 2023 ,we have an absolutely incredible interview with Bobby "BLITZ" Ellsworth from OVERKILL.

We take a deep dive into the new CD SCORCHED with detailed observations on the tracks, our interpretations and plenty of back stories from Bobby.

Metal Walt and Bobby discuss the New Jersey metal history,with memories of vintage tri state area shows.

Vernomatic and Blitz discuss the live set list, us Touring plans and Bobby takes listener questions. 

That is just the start of this awesomeness. The guys joke, bust balls and we even get BLITZ to sing an impromptu acapella track from the new release. 

Another example of a great unique, conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC

]]> 2339 BADLANDS- ROC N ROLL DETENTION. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE DEBUT CD OF THIS OVERLOOKED GREAT AMERICAN ROCK BAND .ON THE BIRTHDAY OF THE FIRST CD HELLO METAL HEADS- Tonight we present the second installment of our new series ROC N ROLL DETENTION ,as we are peeling back all the layers of the often overlooked ,but highly respected band BADLANDS. BADLANDS was an American heavy metal band founded by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee, former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen (vocals) and Eric Singer (drums), as well as former Surgical Steel bass player Greg Chaisson.  After the first Badlands album, Eric Singer was replaced by Jeff Martin. The group lasted from 1988 to 1993 and released three albums. Badlands (1989) and Voodoo Highway (1991) were released before Gillen left and was replaced by singer John West from New York. Gillen's death in 1993 effectively ended any hopes of reuniting the project. The album Dusk (a demo recorded in 1992–93) was released in 1998 with the then-deceased Gillen on vocals. Metal Walt and Ian O'Rourke guide you on this episode as the two share their reflections on the two releases, what the music meant to them and the impact the band had on the rock landscape in the late 80's and early 90's.

]]> 4491 Zak Stevens -New ARCHON ANGEL CD, SAVATAGE NJ Metal history and update on health of John Oliva in 2023. Today we’re here to talk with famed Vocalist, Zak Stevens. Zak has been behind the microphone since the early 90s & is best known as Singer of Savatage, Circle II Circle & a member of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Stevens and producer / guitar player extraordinaire Aldo Lonobile make up the force behind Archon Angel and this album, aptly named ‘II’ is their second album together. Like their first effort, but even more in tune and perfected, ‘II’ is an impressive and powerful work of prog metal. On this episode we’re here to talk to Zak about his new Project, as well as his back history. Zak Stevens first came to prominence in the metal scene when he was hand-picked by Savatage's Jon Olivia to take over as lead vocalist for the band. Starting with 1993's Edge Of Thorns, he would record four studio albums with the band. He has also performed on multiple Trans-Siberian Orchestra releases, including Christmas Eve and Other Stories, Beethoven's Last Night, and more, while also being a member of the band's touring production. Around 2001, Zak started a band, Circle II Circle, which has recorded seven studio albums, with the most recent being 2015's Reign Of Darkness. Additionally, he has appeared on albums by Timo Tolkki's Avalon, Machines Of Grace, Jon Olivia's Pain, and more.

From its origins onward? After the untimely passing of Eric Wagner (Trouble, The Skull), one of doom metal’s most notable and esteemed singers and songwriters, The Skull bassist and bandleader, Ron Holzner, contemplated long and hard on whether it would be possible to carry on. Nine months and a lot of soul searching later, an idea was born. Alongside guitarist Lothar Keller (The Skull, Sacred Dawn) and drummer Henry Vasquez (The Skull, Saint Vitus, Blood Of The Sun), vocalist Karl Agell (Corrosion Of Conformity, Blind, Leadfoot, Lie Heavy) as well as vocalist Scott Reagers (Saint Vitus) and riff master general, guitarist Victor Griffin (Death Row, Pentagram, Place Of Skulls). And so LEGION OF DOOM has come to exist with an all-star lineup of doom’s most prestigious figureheads, here to share their ultimate heavy truth, taking the genre from what is known into uncharted territories. Recalls Holzner, “I decided I want to honor the memory of Eric by playing songs that he crafted. I want his spirit to become eternal through his words and melody. And I also want to play songs from the catalogs of everyone involved.” Ron and Karl join Vernomatic and Metal Walt and share the process of how and why this much deserved project came about. The four discuss the history of all the members in this band and how it all ties together with the late Eric Wagner.  LEGION OF DOOM will make its debut appearance at Legions Of Metal Fest in Chicago this June before heading overseas for a performance at Hellfest in France with more live dates to be announced in the weeks to come.   LEGION OF DOOM: 6/03/2023 Legions Of Metal Fest @ Reggies Live – Chicago, IL [info] 6/18/2023 Hellfest – Clisson, FR [info]   LEGION OF DOOM: Ron Holzner – bass Lothar Keller – guitars Henry Vasquez – drums Karl Agell – vocals Scott Reagers – vocals Victor Griffin – guitars   http://www.legionofdoomband.com http://www.facebook.com/legionofdoom http://www.facebook.com/troubletheskull http://www.instagram.com/legionofdoommetal http://www.instagram.com/theskullusa Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to METAL MARCH!!! In this edition of the podcast Vernomatic and Metal Walt interview Bobby Gustafson ex Guitarist of OVERKILL. For Gustafson, the years since leaving Overkill had not been kind. Venomously snakebitten, and devoid of the royalties he was justly due, the flying-v toting guitarist nearly left the music business altogether. We get the low down on what he is up to as of March 2023, how the break from VIO-LENCE came about and the roots of the name SATAN's TAINT. We take a deep dive into the OVERKILL days with reflections on writing and recording those killer first 4 albums. The early NY/NJ touring days and general Heavy Metal Memory lane topics.   A great unique conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC..

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hello Metal Heads - As we work our way through the winter of 2023 , its a pleasure to get the History Of Metal crew back together for some kick ass debate and reflection.
On this week’s episode we dissect the metal vs grunge battle in 1991.

This is another transition year as the new decade heats up. While the  80's metal explosion isn't completely dead yet , there is a undeniable transition going on in the heavy metal and Hard rock landscape.


METALLICA and GUNS N ROSES ruled all. Multi , Multi platinum releases followed by a classic double bill tour of the USA. Veteran arena rock legends RUSH and QUEEN released commercially successful new albums while The battle of Pasadena heats up again as VAN HALEN and DLR are still battling with new releases.
But the real fight has just begun as grunge powerhouses NIRVANA, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and PEARL JAM released generational and historic albums. This was the start of the decade long battle . 
Veromatic, Metal Walt and Ian O'rourke share their takes, reflections and opinions on what it was like in 1991.
A great unique conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.

Tonight we share a fun story of how a veteran Metal Singer saved the day for two of this falls most anticipated Tours. 

It Started With THIS: 

German/American heavy metal legends ACCEPT have recruited Jason McMaster (DANGEROUS TOYS, WATCHTOWER) to sing for the band  as ACCEPT‘s longtime frontman Mark Tornillo, who is unable to make the gig because he is recovering from a “virus infection”.

And Ended with THIS :

"Unfortunately, luck has dealt me a gnarly knuckleball,"  ARMORED SAINT Vocalist John Bush wrote in his post. "I came down with an illness and even though it hasn’t made me feel bad, it still has infiltrated my nasal and chest area and planted itself. 

"Luckily, longtime friend and Armored Saint fan Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys/ Broken Teeth) is coming to the rescue again. He’s already helped Accept earlier this year on tour and now he’s stepping into the batter’s box for me. I am extremely grateful, and I know he’ll kill it!

We were there in CLEVELAND with John Bush and ARMORED SAINT and in PENNSYLVANIA when Jason Took over for Bush. 

Jason McMaster, vocalist, bassist, songwriter, producer, artist, rock and metal enthusiast, minister (Pastor McMaster from the Church of Disaster) Known for fronting progressive metal pioneers Watchtower, as well as nasty Texas rockers Dangerous Toys, and the kick in the face riff raffers Broken Teeth.

We get the entire story from Jason Himself. 
A great unique conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.

R.I.P. BOB NALBANDIAN- Re-Air Of a Oct 2020 MMROC Interview with BOB. 

Veteran heavy metal journalist, historian and documentarian Bob Nalbandian passed away on Friday, December 30 in Redding, California.

Nalbandian started in the music and entertainment business at age 17 as the publisher/editor in chief of the seminal heavy metal fanzine The Headbanger in April of 1982, a nationally distributed zine which featured the very first profiles of then-unsigned Los Angeles bands METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ARMORED SAINT. Throughout the '80s and '90s, Nalbandian was also a contributing editor to several well-known music mags, including Metal Rendezvous, Creem, Music Connection, Hit Parader, BAM, Foundations as well as associate editor for men's magazines Platinum and Men's Perspective.


Most recently, Nalbandian directed and co-produced the "Inside Metal" documentary film series (MetalRock Films) and the "Band Vs Brand" documentary film (Cleopatra Entertainment). These feature-length documentary films are available on DVD and all the major movie streaming outlets. The "Inside Metal" movies include "Pioneers Of LA Hard Rock And Metal", "LA Metal Scene Explodes", "The Rise Of LA Thrash Metal" and "Bay Area Godfathers" (each film is two parts). Nalbandian was also the founder and host of two major metal podcasts: "Shockwaves Skullsessions" and "Shockwaves/HardRadio".

A few debuts from bands that would hit the big time in the 90's "changing" music scene.

This week's show is a example of "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE" The collaboration between Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, co-founder of KISS and serial entrepreneur Gene Simmons  and partners Paul Janik Jr., John Janik , began with a chance meeting at Cleveland’s “Wizard World” convention. The long time KISS fans were in attendance with the hope of meeting their rock Idol, who was a featured guest at the convention.  John and Paul struck up a soda-centric conversation with the music legend. Simmons asked for their card, and a week later, Paul received a call from Simmons.  John and Paul explain ,in detail, the chain of events from inception to delivery of the soda. HOW the collaboration  with Gene blossomed from a business venture to a true personal friendship. They relive  stories of traveling with KISS , befriending Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer . There are fun antidotes of  hanging out at soundchecks as well  meeting Gene's wife Shannon as guests at their  California home.  “We never dreamed it would be possible to work with someone we have idolized for decades. Gene is the ultimate entrepreneur and a very engaged business partner,” said Paul. “We are honored to have had the opportunity to develop such a rock star-worthy product for soda lovers to enjoy and fans to collect.” “Paul and John have an impeccable work ethic, as well as a prowess in the premium soft drink marketplace,” said Simmons.  This is a great story and exemplifies that anything is possible as long as you take a chance and go for it.

For this week's' episode we are enrolling in Heavy Metal College and studying NFT's (Non Fungible Tokens). What are NFTs, you ask?

It's deep stuff, metal heads. We are also joined by Steve Joester, a 50-year veteran of Rock and Roll photography.

Without ever making a conscious effort to do so, the Joplin, Missouri band proudly shuns the confines of genre confinements and so-called rules for the sake of the music itself and their collective creative output.

Guitarist Ritchie Randall joins us to discuss the bands history , how they craft their unique sound, as well as fun collaborations with "Chewy" from VOIVOD,

Curran Murphy from ANNIAHLATOR and Tommy Stewart from HALLOWS EVE.

Rounding out the lineup is Travis McKenzie on vocals, Mike Jilge on bass, and Jay Willis on drums.

Gravehuffer steers clear of trends and limits by being themselves and letting the music take them where it wants to go.

They are now currently signed with Black Doomba Records, and are on tour  promoting their new album "NecroEclosion".

Its Thursday and time for another edition of Metal Mayhem ROC! Tonight-- show host Jon “The Vernomatic’ Verno has a fun informative interview to share. Carl Canedy, veteran of over 40 years in the Hard rock and metal community as both a drummer with 80s power metal band The Rods as well as a producer during the early years of Anthrax, Overkill and Manowar, joins the Vernomatic tonight to discuss his new project THE 450s   US based rock group THE 450s releases upcoming self-titled album release “The 450s” on November 19th, 2021 via LOUDER THAN LOUD RECORDS, available for pre-order via this link: https://smarturl.it/The450s Vernomatic and Carl, take a deep dive into the origin of these tracks, how they came about and give a listen to portions of some of these cuts.   The guys talk about Carl’s connection to Ronnie James Dio as well his current relationship with Anthrax and Overkill. We here at Metal Mayhem ROC like to support our metal heroes in all of their outside projects.   THE 450s is a new American Rock band featuring The Rods’ Carl Canedy on drums. The line-up is completed by James Jacobs (St. James) on guitar, Robert Jacobs (St. James) on bass, Ryan Sambrook on keyboards and Rhett, a veteran of major labels, on vocals.   When the quartet got together in Miami chemistry was effortless, the resultant songs so strong that they caught the ear of legendary producer Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith), who went the extra mile in mixing the album, highlighting The 450’s inherent musical tension and dynamics. Chris Collier (Korn, Prong) also worked on the mixing/production, helping to hone the “modern” part of The 450’s “modern vintage” vibe.   The 450s bring an old-school band ethic to bear: No resting on laurels, no copping styles from their forefathers; no pre-fab or pre-conceived anything. “We got together in a room and turned everything up real loud,” they explain. “We jammed and recorded what came out. Ultimately, it’s “about creating this group of songs out of nowhere for no reason other than it’s what we all love to do.”   We invite you to rate and review this and all past episodes at www.podchaser.com Simply enter Metal Mayhem ROC in the search box, scroll down, press the MMROC logo and rate the episode and leave a review As always, we encourage you to listen, like and share this and all past episode to your metal and NON metal friends.

Also Ozzy Fan Charlie Avino shares account of being at After Hours taping and meeting The Blizzard of OZZ Band. https://metalmayhemroc.podbean.com/e/metal-mayhem-roc-the-three-tremors-interview-sean-peck-ozzy-fan-shares-account-of-being-at-after-hours-taping-and-meeting-the-band/   Good evening, everybody. Its Thursday and time for another edition of Metal Mayhem ROC! Tonight-- show host Jon “The Vernomatic’ Verno has two fun informative interviews to share. THE THREE TREMORS, the project featuring acclaimed heavy metal singers Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (JAG PANZER) and Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck (CAGE, DEATH DEALER, DENNER/SHERMANN), will release its second album, "Guardians of The Void", on November 5 via Steel Cartel Records. TREMORS shot out of a cannon at a frantic pace. They were pursuing an aggressive pace of live performances when the shutdown forced them to cut short their North American tour in the middle of their run in early 2020. They wasted no time, however, and got to work on another new album. Now their sophomore effort "Guardians of The Void" is ready for blast-off. Vernomatic’s second interview is a cool chat with listener Charlie Avino. On April 28th, 1981 Marty Duda was a young disc Jockey responsible for booking Ozzy Osbourne & The Blizzard of Ozz  TV show "After Hours" at 31 Studios here in Rochester, New York.  Charlie and Marty were friends and classmates at S.U.N.Y Brockport at the time, and  was in attendance for the taping of that performance. Charlie heard our original interview with Marty from April of 2021 and reached out to me to share his memories of the event. Stories like what it was like to meet with Ozzy, Randy and the rest of the band, talking drumming with Tommy Aldridge, and to just see and feel the power of an ascending true heavy metal super star in Randy Rhodes.

Tonight-- show host Jon “The Vernomatic’ Verno has two fun informative interviews to share. THE THREE TREMORS, the project featuring acclaimed heavy metal singers Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (JAG PANZER) and Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck (CAGE, DEATH DEALER, DENNER/SHERMANN), will release its second album, "Guardians of The Void", on November 5 via Steel Cartel Records. TREMORS shot out of a cannon at a frantic pace. They were pursuing an aggressive pace of live performances when the shutdown forced them to cut short their North American tour in the middle of their run in early 2020. They wasted no time, however, and got to work on another new album. Now their sophomore effort "Guardians of The Void" is ready for blast-off. Vernomatic’s second interview is a cool chat with listener Charlie Avino. On April 28th, 1981 Marty Duda was a young disc Jockey responsible for booking Ozzy Osbourne & The Blizzard of Ozz  TV show "After Hours" at 31 Studios here in Rochester, New York.  Charlie and Marty were friends and classmates at S.U.N.Y Brockport at the time, and  was in attendance for the taping of that performance. Charlie heard our original interview with Marty from April of 2021 and reached out to me to share his memories of the event. Stories like what it was like to meet with Ozzy, Randy and the rest of the band, talking drumming with Tommy Aldridge, and to just see and feel the power of an ascending true heavy metal super star in Randy Rhodes.

Tonight, show host Jon “The Vernomatic” Verno and Metal Mayhem ROC show contributor Ian O’Rourke share their review of the Alice Cooper/ Ace Frehley concert. Billed as the “OL’ BLACK EYES IS BACK ‘TOUR - Vernomatic and Ian traveled to Utica, NY and took in the concert in the historic Stanley Theatre, located in the downtown entertainment district. Without divulging exact set list song by song, the guys express their thoughts on both of the band’s sets, give there take on the musicianship of BOTH bands and rate the performance. Alice Cooper ,who is touring with former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley as his opening act, pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock audiences. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. Ace frehley is one of the first true guitar Gods and has remained a fan favorite from the original four founding members of KISS. With his fun-loving quirky smile and alien cackle, it’s a true treat to be able to see “SPACE ACE” Frehley in 2021. We thank you for listening, please rate and review this podcast.

Billed as the “OL’ BLACK EYES IS BACK ‘TOUR - Vernomatic and Ian traveled to Utica, NY and took in the concert in the historic Stanley Theatre, located in the downtown entertainment district. Without divulging exact set list song by song, the guys express their thoughts on both of the band’s sets, give there take on the musicianship of BOTH bands and rate the performance. Alice Cooper ,who is touring with former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley as his opening act, pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock audiences. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. Ace frehley is one of the first true guitar Gods and has remained a fan favorite from the original four founding members of KISS. With his fun-loving quirky smile and alien cackle, it’s a true treat to be able to see “SPACE ACE” Frehley in 2021. We thank you for listening, please rate and review this podcast.

Coming off of a successful album/tour cycle with their previous effort “Thunderbolt”, Biff Byford & Co. reportedly already have new original material in final stages of production to be released. Understandably though, presenting this now would be shooting blanks for a band that has become such a staple in the live circuits under normal circumstances. Hence the idea to buy some time with “Inspirations”. But rest assured, this is not something hastily put together – Saxon clearly put a lot of thought into this release, starting with its cover – a black and white drawing with the classic formations of the bands they’re covering.

Nigel plays along with staple show segment Mt.RUSHMORE of metal and gives some highlights of past tour antics. Great conversation with a super guy from a HEAVY METAL HOF BAND..

Welcome to March Madness. What a better way to start the month than with a visit with our old friend Vinny Appice. Vinny is here to discuss the new Black Sabbath re issue and to give us a update on his band Last in Line.  Rhino Records salutes the long shadow cast by this short-lived lineup with newly remastered versions of both albums expanded with rare and unreleased music. Heaven and Hell: Deluxe Edition and Mob Rules: Deluxe Edition will be released separately on March 5, 2021.  Singer Ronnie James Dio joined Black Sabbath in 1979 and quickly found kindred spirits in guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. When Heaven And Hell was released in April 1980, the album was met with effusive reviews for the band’s return to form on metal masterpieces like “Neon Knights” and the title track. The album reached #9 in the U.K. and #28 in the U.S., where it was also certified platinum.   Heaven and Hell: Deluxe Edition adds several bonus tracks that have never been released in North America, including versions of “Children of the Sea” and “Die Young” recorded live in 1980 in Hartford, CT. The set concludes with live rarities like “E5150” and “Neon Knights” that originally appeared in 2007 on the Rhino Handmade’s limited edition collection, Black Sabbath: Live At Hammersmith Odeon.    To follow-up Heaven And Hell, the group returned to the studio in 1981 to begin recording Mob Rules, with drummer Vinny Appice joining the band for the first time. Released in October 1981 and certified gold, the album was another Sabbath classic, including standouts like “The Sign of the Southern Cross,” “Turn Up The Night” and the title track.   Mob Rules: Deluxe Edition boasts an expansive selection of rare and unreleased recordings. Along with additional tracks from Live At Hammersmith Odeon, the collection also includes a newly mixed version of “The Mob Rules.” The cherry on top is an entire concert recorded in 1982 in Portland, OR. Highlights include stellar performances of “Neon Knights” “Heaven And Hell” and “Voodoo.”  Metal Mayhem ROC show correspondent and Sabbath expert; "Metal Walt" checks in with recap of the DIO Sabbath Years.

It's Thursday and its time for a brand new edition of Metal Mayhem ROC. Jon "The Vernomatic" Verno and Metal Forever Mark present Part 2 of exclusive epic interview with Rock filmmaker Andrew Bennett, author of Eruption in The Canyon: 212 Days and Nights with the legendary Eddie Van Halen. Andrew shares the details of Wolfie calling David Lee Roth and leaving a voice message inviting Dave to a jam session at the 5150 Studios. Hear never-before-told stories of when Dave met with the Van Halen's at the studio prior to rehearsals for the 2007 reunion tour Official website to order www.eruptioninthecanyon.com.  DO NOT USE AMAZON LINK FOR ORDERING !!   A revelatory, fly-on-the-wall collection of photographs and stories documenting Eddie Van Halen at work in his famed but seldom seen 5150 studio, from the 2004 reunion with Sammy Hagar through the 2007 reunion with David Lee Roth. A fortuitous call from a stranger in the middle of the night led to a once-in-a-lifetime assignment. The stranger was Eddie Van Halen. The assignment, as Eddie related it, was to “capture the truth. Show people how hard I work, because that’s the truth.” Having no idea where this would lead or in what form it might be shared, Andrew Bennett spent portions of the next two years relentlessly documenting everything that occurred inside Eddie’s sanctuary.

Welcome to the weekend. The Vernomatic and Metal Forever Mark welcome Brian Wheat onto tonight's show. The Metal Mayhem ROC guys take a deep dive into Brian's New book "Son Of a Milkman - My crazy life with Tesla." Brian shares some insight on the formative years of when City Kidd eventually turned into Tesla and the struggles that all the members endured throughout the years. Vernomatic and Brian debate Brian's selection of Mt. Rushmore Rockers of all time. Metal Forever Mark connects with Brian on a personal level as they discuss the effects of the autoimmune condition, Colitis. Some great insight into what Brian has overcame in his lifetime. Brian Wheat is far from your typical rockstar. As bassist for the multi-platinum band, Tesla, he’s enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll lifestyle to the hilt. But it came at a cost, one that took years to repair. In this deeply honest and utterly revealing memoir, Wheat sheds light on the many challenges he faces, including bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions. Just like the songs his legendary band made, this is no-nonsense, blue-collar storytelling at its best. While revealing the vulnerable human behind the bass guitar, this autobiography also offers tremendous stories of life on the road, and collaborations and encounters with legendary figures like his pals in Def Leppard, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, and Paul McCartney. Son of a Milkman will entertain, surprise, and inspire longtime fans of this enduring band.   We are excited to include that this week's giveaway is a free copy of his newest memoir!

John Gallagher gives insight on the unique chemistry that he shares with his brother Mark and new drummer Mike Heller. As tradition, John gives us his MT. RUSHMORE OF METAL - "Top 4 Bands he's toured with" and shares a not-so flattering METAL CONFESSION involving a known-wanker “GUITAR GOD." Metal Mayhem ROC show correspondent "Southern Cal" calls in from the beach of Melbourne Fla with a review of Metal City and a update on what the band has been up to for the last 20 years.   About Raven:  RAVEN is a rare thing in music,  true originals – cut these guys with a razor and they will BLEED true heavy metal – a more intense live band does not exist on this planet! Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England back in 1974 (yes – 46 YEARS ago!!!) The Gallagher brothers cut their teeth playing the pubs & clubs until solidifying their line up in 1980 with drummer Rob Hunter. The trio went on to release three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) inspiring every band of that era and beyond.  Basically,  without Raven you just would not have thrash/speed metal…. after all, the band did give Metallica & Anthrax their first tours! Following a tumultuous move to the USA, deals with Atlantic Records, indentured servitude and commercialism,  Rob left the band in 1987 to be replaced by drummer extraordinaire Joe Hasselvander, who had made his name in cult doom band Pentagram, Savoy Brown and his own solo projects, adding a new dimension to the band. In 2001,  guitarist Mark Gallagher was involved in a near fatal accident – but fought his way back from the brink and the band proved they were stronger than ever!  This renewed spirit and attitude was reflected in the title of their 2010 album “WALK THROUGH FIRE” and in the career overview DVD “ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP”. 2014 found the band opening for Metallica (the band that Raven took on their first tour back in 1983) in Sao Paulo in front of 70,000 fans, and completing their finest album to date – ExtermiNation” which was released to universal acclaim from fans & critics alike in 2015! After a serious heart attack in May 2017 Joe Hasselvander has had to unfortunately relinquish the drum stool….taking over drum duties is the phenomenal  Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Malignancy) who has immediately injected high energy into the band! Following an insane blur of world touring over the last 3 years, the guys released another RAVEN opus, “Metal City” in September 2020 taking their game to the next level…a scorcher of immense proportions!   In a cynical musical landscape these days, where bands are not “gangs “but faceless corporations, RAVEN is a band that is REAL not FAKE – and proud of it!

John Gallagher gives insight on the unique chemistry that he shares with his brother Mark and new drummer Mike Heller.

As tradition, John gives us his MT. RUSHMORE OF METAL - "Top 4 Bands he's toured with" and shares a not-so flattering METAL CONFESSION involving a known-wanker “GUITAR GOD."

About Raven: 

RAVEN is a rare thing in music,  true originals – cut these guys with a razor and they will BLEED true heavy metal – a more intense live band does not exist on this planet!

Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North East England back in 1974 (yes – 46 YEARS ago!!!) The Gallagher brothers cut their teeth playing the pubs & clubs until solidifying their line up in 1980 with drummer Rob Hunter.

The trio went on to release three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) inspiring every band of that era and beyond.  Basically,  without Raven you just would not have thrash/speed metal…. after all, the band did give Metallica & Anthrax their first tours!

Following a tumultuous move to the USA, deals with Atlantic Records, indentured servitude and commercialism,  Rob left the band in 1987 to be replaced by drummer extraordinaire Joe Hasselvander, who had made his name in cult doom band Pentagram, Savoy Brown and his own solo projects, adding a new dimension to the band.

In 2001,  guitarist Mark Gallagher was involved in a near fatal accident – but fought his way back from the brink and the band proved they were stronger than ever!  This renewed spirit and attitude was reflected in the title of their 2010 album “WALK THROUGH FIRE” and in the career overview DVD “ROCK UNTIL YOU DROP”.

2014 found the band opening for Metallica (the band that Raven took on their first tour back in 1983) in Sao Paulo in front of 70,000 fans, and completing their finest album to date – ExtermiNation” which was released to universal acclaim from fans & critics alike in 2015!

After a serious heart attack in May 2017 Joe Hasselvander has had to unfortunately relinquish the drum stool….taking over drum duties is the phenomenal  Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Malignancy) who has immediately injected high energy into the band!

Following an insane blur of world touring over the last 3 years, the guys released another RAVEN opus, “Metal City” in September 2020 taking their game to the next level…a scorcher of immense proportions!

 

In a cynical musical landscape these days, where bands are not “gangs “but faceless corporations, RAVEN is a band that is REAL not FAKE – and proud of it! Great talk with one of Thrash Metals true ROYALTY.

We are excited to bring you this special interview, recorded in the Metal Mayhem ROC Studios in Rochester, NY. Metal Forever Mark and the Vernomatic had the opportunity to speak with the Legendary John Bush from Armored Saint. Bush gives insight on the latest Armored Saint release “Punching The Sky” and how the band has been promoting the release without playing live.

John participates in staple show segment MT. RUSHMORE OF METAL with his top 4 metal singers...listen to see who!  Leaders and stalwarts of the American heavy metal scene since the early 80s, Armored Saint's eighth full-length album Punching The Sky sees them returning with a hard, diverse, attitude-drenched collection. It's everything that faithful followers have come to expect from them while pushing their signature sound forward. "The goal is to write really good music. I know I'm stating the obvious here but that's about the size of our agenda," says bassist Joey Vera. "We've been able to shed a lot of expectations that sometimes plague a band like ours that has been around a long time, and we've recently moved into a comfort zone with just being ourselves. This record is a reflection of where we’re at, right now."  With the band's place in the metal scene firmly reestablished with Punching The Sky, they are staring down their four decade anniversary, which Vera reflects on. "Part of me feels like I can't believe we've been doing this for that long. It's kind of incredible. So I feel pretty damn lucky really, that we've been able to have the support from fans and our record company for all these years. Without this support, we really couldn't do any of this. So this is the big part of what has kept us going, and when I stop and look around, I am humbled that we've had this opportunity to make music and tour for such a long time.
