Pyrotechnics

Fireworks Rock & Metal Magazine

Welcome to Pyrotechnics – the Rock & Metal podcast that cranks it up to 11 and never looks back! If you love your music loud, your opinions louder, and your humour somewhere between brutal and brilliant, you’re in the right place. Each 90-minute episode dives headfirst into one hot topic from the world of Rock and Metal—served with insight, sarcasm, and the occasional screaming rant. We tear through the latest news, question what’s happening in our scene, and let co-hosts James Gaden and Dave Cockett loose in the unfiltered chaos of Sixty-Second Sound-Off and Flushed Down The Rock & Metal Music Crapper—where nothing and no one is safe. There’s also the infamous quiz, the torturous lyrics game, and your host Pete Arnett trying to hold it all together (good luck with that). So hit play, crank the volume, and let Pyrotechnics ignite your passion for Rock and Metal all over again.
