MetalBreak Paky & Johannes Eckerström

The listening circle returns, as we share our and our Patreon supporters' opinion on Opeth's legendary debut, Orchid. Enjoy!

Join the listening circle, and add your voice to the conversation! patreon.com/metalbreak In this very first listening circle, we dig in to what many would call the quintessential album of the Gothenburg sound. Slaughter of the Soul by At the Gates redrew the metal map in countless ways, and has stood the test of time like few others. It has also been a huge influence on Avatar, alongside so many other bands. Together we our patreons, we discuss and dissect one of our absolute favorites. Enjoy!

Metallihelvetti is a revered institution in the Finnish metal underground, and in its heart you find Jussi Helenius. Together with his partners in crime he has made Finland in general and Turku in particular a much more extreme place for decades. Turku Saatanalle is the flagship festival of the organisation, and we talk its history, as well as its current state, while also diving into some old school Brazilian metal among many other things. Turku Saatanalle XI takes place March 1-2 2024 at Utopia in Turku. More info can be found here: https://www.metallihelvetti.net/ Enjoy!

In this episode, we play a round of Let's Get Deep, and it get's... deep. Got time had by all! Enjoy!

In this episode, Paky has found out about about next year's reboot of her beloved the Crow. We talk, and try to unpack how this is doom to failed, or if there is any hope at all. Bill Skarsgård will be in it... we like him. And how do we get Avatar on the soundtrack (Hollywood money this way please!). Enjoy!

In this episode we talk with Cryptopsy's Matt McGachy as well as doing some damage control for what would have been our Halloween special! Good times! Enjoy!
