This week it's power metal in the 2000s. Two things that you might not think go together. Well you are wrong.... or right depending on your tastes. Jon continues his romantic odyssey with the genre that he still denies a bit even though we can all see it and we chat Angra, The Lord Weird Slough Feg and a bit of Dragonforce as well.   Theme is “Stone Heart” by Blood Eagle.

This week we have two massive death metal albums that Mike has never heard before. Jon's very familiar with both so hopefully it balances out and we maintain a semblance of professionalism. The two albums are Opeth's "Blackwater Park" and Nile's "Annihilation of the Wicked". Phwoar.   Theme is “Stone Heart” by Blood Eagle.

Here we go, it's rap metal from the 2000s. It's probably 90s rap metal's less cooler sibling who ended up being more successful which ended up harbouring a lot of resentment between them. We've got a couple of biggies here to chat about. Linkin Park and their debut "Hybrid Theory" from 2000 and Raga metal Welsh group Skindred with "Babylon" from 2002.   Theme is “Stone Heart” by Blood Eagle.
