Have you ever wanted to hear all the heavy in one place? 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:

Good Evening Metalheads. 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.

In A SPECIAL EDITION episode, we observe the death date (2/19/1980) of the late great Bon Scott. We present an interview with Jesse Fink, the author of BON: LAST HIGHWAY.
Unlike other ACDC or Bon Scott books, BON: THE LAST HIGHWAY concentrates solely on the last two years of Bon's Life. late 1977- Feb 1980. We discuss Jesse's extensive research process, the measure he took to interview people THAT met Bon during this period. Dozen's of underlying questions that have never been addressed , let alone answered. Jesse concludes that Scott died of much more than the official cause: acute alcohol poisoning.
New information regarding the widespread speculation that Scott contributed uncredited lyrics to the AC/DC album Back in Black. Why was Back in Black included on the Bonfire boxed set if Bon wasn’t involved? Why does the Scott family collect royalties for Back In Black?

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.

Happy New Years Metalheads!
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.

Happy Thanksgiving Metal heads! Here is a pre Gobble day listen for your steamy little ears. The return of SWORD!
Formed in 1980 in Montreal, SWORD released their debut album Metalized in 1986 which was described as; Aggressive, Melodic, Loud and Rude.
They were hand-picked by Metallica to open the Quebec leg of the Master of puppets tour, Alice Cooper’s Canadian Return of the nightmare tour and then crisscrossed the UK with the Mighty Lemmy on Motorhead’s Rock’n’Roll tour.
It was followed by the Heavy but diverse Sweet Dreams in 1988. After a short US tour promoting the album, they started work on their 3rd album. All hell broke loose and a parting of ways ensued… Until 2011, when they reunited for a few select shows in Canada and Germany and found the urge to go back in the studio to finish where they had left off.
Fall off 2022 finds the Legendary Canadian metal band releasing their long-awaited third album, appropriately titled III, on November 25th, 2022 via Massacre Records. It will be the band's first studio album in 34 years.
I catch up with vocalist Rick Hughes and guitarist Mike Plant to get the back story of the 30 plus year gap between albums, How the new CD came about and my take on the new songs. We take a walk down heavy metal memory lane, discuss how they were ended up supporting Metallica in 1986 as well as other cool metal confessions.

Hello Metal Heads - As we enter ROCKTOBER we are super stoked for the fall festivities.
On this week’s episode we dissect the metal landscape in 1990.
This is a transition year to the new decade , BUT the 80's metal explosion isn't completely dead yet as hair and sunset strip types are still leaving their mark.
Many killer debut albums along with rebound releases from some big time arena acts.
One supergroup actually lived up to the hype as well as a solo release from a major band member was delivered.
A few debuts from bands that would hit the big time in the 90's "changing" music scene.
There was a tour of thrash bands of titanic proportions, a lawsuit involving a metal legend and the grammys "FINALLY " get it right.

Hello Metal heads. Its September and we are ready for the fall.
On tonight's show, we welcome back our old friend Nigel Glockler from English heavy metal masters SAXON.
Glockler is part of a new project called SIX X SIX and is excited to divulge all the details surrounding this new power three piece.
Glockler is joined in this new musical venture by two other hugely accomplished and highly acclaimed, musicians hailing from disparate corners of the globe and each with the pedigree to back up the claim.
They are guitarist Ian Crichton from the acclaimed Canadian prog rockers SAGA, recognized as one of the top rock players in North America, and U.S. based Robert Berry, perhaps best known for his association with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer on bass, keyboards and vocals.

Cleveland, Ohio's DESTRUCTOR was a 1980s thrash metal band whose brief career was curtailed by tragedy.
Formed in 1983 by spectacularly renamed members Dave Overkill (vocals/guitar), Pat Rabid (guitar), Paul Warhead (bass), and perhaps best of all, Matt Flammable (drums), Destructor jumped the thrash metal bandwagon hot on the heels of pioneers like Metallica and Slayer.
1985 saw the release of their Their full-length debut MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION . Although rough around the edges, the album was big on promise and well received by the metal underground, eventually leading to a major label deal with Island Records for DESTRUCTOR'S next effort.
Recording for the tentatively entitled "Decibel Casualties" began in late 1987, but, tragically, Dave Holocaust was stabbed to death on January 1, 1988; and when their Island deal fell through, DESTRUCTOR decided to call it a day rather than carry on without their slain friend.
Fast forward to summer of 2022, The guys have re-grouped, released new material and are excited about a summer tour of Mexico with NASTY SAVAGE .
We speak with Dave Overkill (vocals/guitar)about the early days, their historic Rochester appearance in March of 1985 , we listen to cuts of an old interview the band conducted with Rochester Metal Radio DJ "THE WARHEAD" from 1985 and just shoot the shit about METAL!

Hello Metal heads. 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.
This is soda royalty! If you have expensive taste, drink Moneybag!

Hello Metal Heads - Hope your Summer is fun and enjoyable.
On this week’s episode we dissect the metal landscape in 1988. This is a pivotal year in the 80s metal explosion as it picks up where 1987 left off.
The Hair Nation scene is getting oversaturated with copy cat bands and less than Steller releases from the big wigs.( Pun Intended)
The BIG 4 of Thrash all release new full length albums and are really maturing into Super stardom levels.
The battle of Pasadena continues as David Lee Roth has his SKYSCRAPER release and VAN HAGAR, err, VAN HALEN puts out OU812. Track By Track observations for both.
All this and more as we revisit 1988 and take a deep dive into the HISTORY OF METAL.

Aaron Thom is a mid twenties metal head with the soul of a old rager.
His love and fascination with the metal scene of the eighties has blossomed into a business venture.
In 2021 Aaron parlayed his obsession of 80's unsigned metal bands into the start of a record label specializing in re distribution of old demo's from bands from the 80s.
Aaron shares the process of seeking out these old bands that by now are scattered across the globe.
With the help of his Metal network, Aaron connects with these artists with the goal of re releasing these lost treasures so that the 2020's generation of Heavy Metal fans can enjoy these efforts.

This spring Dan and Steve connected as Steve was rolling out a brand-new limited-edition rock and roll heavy metal guitar hero NFT exhibit.
Hopefully, with Dan and Steve's help, we all can start to understand NFT's better, or at the very least hear some cool Rock and Metal stories.
All this and more as we take a deep dive into the world of NFT's.

More than 40 years since their formation, and 125 million album sales later, Metallica is as relevant as ever. Much has been written about the band, but never like this.
The Meaning of Metallica is like a riveting conversation with a close friend. A thematic tour de force that traces Hetfield’s lyrical development across the decades, this companion examines everything from deep cuts like “Confusion” to megahits like “Enter Sandman.” Sure to spark debate and discussion, The Meaning of Metallica provides a close reading of lyrics dense with details and rich with allusions.

GRAVEHUFFER
Since their inception in 2008, GRAVEHUFFER has crafted their sound into an other-worldly amalgamation of Crust, Punk, Metal, Grindcore, and unapologetic down-tuned Sludge-laden Doom.
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".
