  1. EP 263 The Extreme Metal triple - Nergal ( Behemoth) - Graf Von Beelzebub (Mystic Circle) - Elliot Sansom (Be'Lakor)

    5D AGO

    EP 263 The Extreme Metal triple - Nergal ( Behemoth) - Graf Von Beelzebub (Mystic Circle) - Elliot Sansom (Be'Lakor)

    This week on Heavy Metal Tones it’s an all-out Extreme Metal Triple Episode – three voices, three visions, and three crushing perspectives from the darker side of heavy music. First up, I dive into the mind of Nergal, the creative force behind Behemoth. We talk conviction, controversy, creativity, and what it truly means to stand defiantly in your art no matter the cost. Then things get theatrical and unholy with Graf Von Beelzebub of Mystic Circle, as we explore the dark mysticism, occult imagery, and bombastic black metal that has defined their legacy. And flying the Australian extreme flag, I sit down with Elliot Sansom from Melbourne’s melodic death metal masters Be'lakor. We break down atmosphere, songwriting depth, and how the band continues to evolve their epic, emotionally charged sound. Three conversations. Three different shades of extreme. From blackened fury to melodic despair, this episode showcases just how vast and powerful the extreme metal landscape truly is. Turn it up, embrace the darkness, and welcome to the extreme side of Heavy Metal Tones. 🤘 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    EP 262 Rush - Snakes And Arrows Review

    Heavy Metal Tones Episode 262 – Rush: Snakes & Arrows This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I dive deep into Rush’s 2007 album Snakes & Arrows — a record that sees the progressive rock legends embracing heavier riffs, darker themes, and a fiercely modern edge. From its political bite and philosophical weight to Alex Lifeson’s crushing guitar tone, Geddy Lee’s sharp bass work, and Neil Peart’s towering lyrical vision, this episode explores why Snakes & Arrows stands as one of Rush’s boldest late-career statements. A journey through progressive power, social commentary, and unmistakable Rush brilliance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    EP 261 Review of Canadian masters of Doom Sundecays The Blood Lives Again

    This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I dive deep into the crushing, immersive world of Canadian Progressive Doom outfit Sundecay and their haunting new album The Blood Lives Again. From towering riffs to eerie atmosphere and slow-burning heaviness, we break down what makes this record such a powerful and cinematic listen for fans of doom that dares to evolve. To close out the episode, I play the album’s epic opening track “Here Comes The Wizzard” in its entirety — a perfect gateway into Sundecay’s dark, spellbinding sonic universe. Turn it up. Let it drag you under.

    Ep 259 Take a journey beyond 3 minutes into the realm of the epic

    This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we go beyond the three-minute single and dive headfirst into the world of epic music. What actually makes a song or album epic? Is it length, atmosphere, storytelling, or the emotional payoff? We talk about epic’s place across music and metal, how artists approach writing and structuring longer, more ambitious pieces, and—most importantly—how to enjoy epic tracks and albums if you’re used to the comfort of conventional singles. From mindset and patience to letting music breathe and unfold, this episode is all about unlocking deeper listening. If you’ve ever been curious about longer songs, sprawling compositions, or albums that demand your full attention—but weren’t sure where to start—this one’s for you. Turn it up, settle in, and embrace the epic. 🤘 Patreon/heavymetaltones.com for 2 of your earth bucks a month you could help an old guy keep going. Hosted on Acast.

    EP 257 Black Death the worlds first African American metal band and their out for your SOUL!!!!

    In this episode of Heavy Metal Tones, I dive deep into one of metal’s most overlooked and important stories: Black Death, widely recognised as the first African American heavy metal band. Rising out of Cleveland’s underground in the early ’80s, Black Death carved their own path through raw riffs, NWOBHM-inspired energy, and pure DIY determination. The focus is on their one and only full-length release, Black Death—a cult classic that blends speed, grit, and attitude, while standing as a landmark moment in metal history. I talk about the band’s origins, the obstacles they faced, why this album matters just as much now as it did back then, and how Black Death earned their place in the heavy metal timeline. An essential listen for anyone who loves digging into metal history beyond the usual headlines. 🤘 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
