    2020: The year that sucked in review

    Was it the worst year in the modern history of mankind? Yes, yes it was. In addition to a global pandemic, we lost arguably the greatest rock guitarist and rock drummer of all time: Eddie Van Halen and Neil Peart. And of course, there were other losses that hit us hard as well. But it wasn't all bad in 2020: We did see some great new releases, and some amazing online concerts, too. The guys were having some fun — and some drinks — so enjoy it with us!

    The Power of Masks and Makeup

    It may be almost Christmas, but the guys are still reeling a bit from a post-Halloween hangover. The cure? An episode all about masks and makeup! Over the past 40-plus years, a handful of bands have stood out from the rest — everyone from Alice Cooper to KISS to Gwar to Slipknot — by accentuating their personas in ways no one had seen before. In this episode, Dave Manic, Lord Gates, Wild Bill and Jay Man talk about the history and impact of masks and makeup in rock music. One band emerges as the top choice for best mask/makeup ban of all time — can you guess which one? The episode concludes with an insider's perspective on the formation of mask-wearing legends Slipknot from a guy who was there and saw it all happen, drummer and Iowa native Dan Spain of Downthesun and Deadfront.

    Expunged by Grunge

    On this episode of Into the Void, the guys are talking about the fateful day of September 24,1991, the day Nirvana's "Nevermind" was released ... and '80s hard rock was pronounced dead. But, was that fair to those talented bands who had released albums toward the end of the '80s and into the early '90s? Bands like Circus of Power, Love/Hate, Lynch Mob, Warrior Soul, Junkyard and many more, bands who were ultimately "expunged by grunge"? We say no — which is why we're taking this episode to extoll their virtues and tell you, our listeners, why their music is still worth checking out even three decades later. We also have a feature interview with Alex Mitchell, lead singer of Circus of Power (and also author of his first book!).

    The New England "Ex-Patriots"!

    On this episode of Into the Void, the guys get a bit more personal as they talk about growing up in New England, and how that factored into their lifelong love of heavy music. The fall weather, horror movies, high school football, outdoor keggers and great live venues — all of these things and more set the gents on their path toward the 'dark side.' The guys also list their top 5 all-time New England bands ... and let's just say, Wild Bill and Lord Gates practically vomited at one of Dave's choices. In the feature interview, the guys interview lead singer and rhythm guitarist Marc Gaffney of the New-England-based band Gozu, who opens up about the very personal lyrics on their latest album "Equilibrium."

The episode is capped off by a feature interview with one of the bands on Wild Bill's list, Skinlab, and their main man Steev Esquivel.

    The Rise and Fall of Pantera

    June 22 sees the second anniversary of the passing of legendary Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul, while Pantera/Down/Superjoint frontman Phil Anselmo celebrates his 52nd birthday on June 30. Those two dates gave the guys the perfect opportunity to discuss the history of Pantera and exactly why the band broke up, and whether or not Phil and Rex should even consider any kind of Pantera tour without Dime and Vinnie. The guys also reveal their personal encounters with the Abbott brothers with two hilarious stories, and the Into the Void “Great Debate” has the guys listing their top 5 all-time Pantera songs. Finally, in the “Feature Interview,” the guys talk to Bob Chiappardi, Founder and President of Concrete Marketing and the Foundations Forum heavy music convention.
