Metalcast The Ultimate Metal Show » Metalcast

We can keep this simple. Some time ago we got a suggestion from Blake Porter, one of our listeners: a True Norwegian Black Metal or Pioneers of Black Metal Episode. So, we put our two specialists in those domains to the test and they threw some names and songs on the table in a matter […]

Days are shorter, temperatures decrease, it’s getting winter soon (still a few weeks away, though). The classical composer Vivaldi wrote symphonies about the four seasons, but the seasons also inspired and continue to inspire many Metal bands, be them Black Metal, Folk Metal, Power Metal, Doom Metal, and so on.The link with Pagan Metal (which […]

EP 229, regular and varied. We’ve got 2 symphonic extreme Metal bands from Russia, the Black/Thrash outfit Abigail from Japan also made it onto the playlist. There’s of course the experimental Metal of the Norwegian formation Musth, for which our beloved Marcus wrote a review. Rhapsody Of Fire parted ways with half its line-up several […]

EP 228, the first in our quest to the “10th anniversary episode”. Let’s go! What have we got this time? Death Metal, Black Metal, Power Metal and even Deutschrock. Indeed, Deutschrock, or Rock ‘n’ Roll sung in German. The Brazilian Death Metal masters from Krisiun put out a new album recently, called The Great Execution. […]

2006-2011, a historical period in the era of podcats, eh, podcasts. Looking back at how we started, we’ve been through quite some rides. Lots of music to choose from, lots of bands, and many more songs. Big names, upcoming bands, bands that split-up, big projects, solo projects, and so on. Starting out as a regular […]

The length of a Metal song is not important, though you can guess pretty correctly for certain genres. Doom and progressive are more prone to lengthy tracks, while other styles can keep it more moderate, like 4-5 minutes or even less. Many bands also have intros and interludes on their albums, which are meant to […]

It’s almost there, our anniversary episode. We’ve received several reactions and suggestions so far, but we know you are many, so mail us or post on our Facebook if you haven’t done already. In other news, there’s a new episode ready. A bit more on the extreme side than normally, but that’s a pure coincidence. […]

Another Special, yeehaa! Yes, the Legends of Metal. Anyone can instantly name tens of bands who have had a major impact on this great style of music. We made a Pioneers episode some time ago, where we focused on bands that started or were co-responsible for starting a specific style in the world of Metal, […]

Done reading books? We hope not. But it’s good to take a pause now and then, be it from reading, music, work, study, or otherwise. Which means, time for some tunes again. Variety sure is present (again) this time, from Thrash over Death and Industrial to Power. There’s new stuff from Evile, Amebix, Disma, Dischordia, […]

It’s been almost two years since we last read something to you. Or better, played songs based on books, whether Fantasy, History, Philosophy, etc… And while it’s good to read and here too genres are subject to taste, we tried to put in a bit of everything in terms of literary works. Authors featured in […]
