IRON REAGAN – Band Profile
This crossover thrash supergroup are no strangers to the art of crossover. High energy, precision musicianship, and clearly having fun, this group produces a vintage thrash/punk sound for a new generation.

Brian Wilson and The Hammer of MIDNIGHT SPELL joined us this week to talk all things metal community, including the impact it’s had on their lives, how we can all help the community thrive, and future plans for the band.
GOJIRA – “Fortitude” Album Review
The seventh album from French powerhouse, GOJIRA, is almost like the ‘easy listening’ of metal. It is proggier, relatively upbeat, and more mainstream than previous outings but feels like the natural evolution of one of the world’s most skilled bands.
KADAVRO Interview on The Metal Community
This week, we were joined by guitarist Santiago Maravilla of KADAVRO, a young Death/Thrash band from Argentina, to discuss their experiences in the metal world and their efforts to keep old-school metal alive.
SABER Interview on The Metal Community

JUDAS PRIEST – “Jugulator” (1997) Album Review
JUDAS PRIEST’s “Jugulator” album is on the Mount Rushmore of good metal albums not appreciated in their time. This week, we explore why and re-review the hall-of-fame act’s first album without Rob Halford.
BRAND OF SACRIFICE – “Lifeblood”, the Revival of Deathcore
“Lifeblood” is the second full-length album from BRAND OF SACRIFICE (BOS) and is both a career and genre-defining album. The heaviest of breakdowns combined with elements from many other genres makes this a fun and exciting listen, while never feeling repetitive or stale as the formula of each song varies and keeps you guessing! Nothing short of a masterpiece in the genre and a contender for one of the best heavy albums of the year.
IOTUNN Interview on The Metal Community
This week, we were joined by Jesper Gräs of IOTUNN to discuss the band’s journey and recent debut album. We also discuss Jesper’s experiences with metal music, his thoughts on the community and ideas on how to help metal music thrive.
