Pour a beer and prepare your ears for this aerodynamic countdown of the best metal recommendations around (and no one’s ever gonna keep em down). Plus, Will reads his old love letters from Jay.
Read MoreLook who is back! It’s the man behind the mask! Not only is Alice Cooper back with his first album in six years, but I am also getting back in the saddle after a break from reviews of over a year. Alice’s new “Paranormal” album...
Read MoreI don't believe in fate, destiny, or any other hippy dippy baloney. I do, however, feel the infinite power of heavy metal combined with devilish intervention created a brewery on the very site...

Read MoreLast night the mighty Amon Amarth returned to our shores and laid waste to the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland. Allow me to recount our tale of high adventure.
Read MoreRoots Bloody Roots! “You like beer? You like Bloody Marys?? You’ll love this beer!” claims the label and I could not agree more. Bloody Roots is an intense and unique 8.8% ABV imperial brown ale...
Read Moreotting Christ is one of those bands that's been around for a good long while (their full-length debut came out in 1991), but that I've just never gotten around to checking out. The truth is...

Read MoreIn the latter half of 2014, I took my wife to see the Landless Theatre Company's prog metal production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Not only was the show fantastic...

Read MoreI love this fucking album. It gets so many things right, and I'm perplexed by how little attention it received in 2015. Hailing from Austria, Amestigon have been active since 1995, making it all the more puzzling to me that I've never heard of them.
Read MoreOkay, so…confession: This show was the first time I've seen King Diamond live. That fact seems a little strange to me since I've been a fan since the release of Mercyful Fate's Melissain 1983 – 32 years ago…wow – but for whatever reason the stars have just never lined up.
Read MoreMerry Brew-mas! Drink and celebrate beer instead of worshiping the birth of a Royal Jewish Hippie Zombie Astronaut that just so happens to coincide with the Pagan winter solstice. Obey, cheers and amen!
Read MoreAnyone who knows me is probably familiar with the fact that I'm a progressive rock fan as much as I am a metal head. I have been a prog fan since my early days of music exploration.

Read MoreHi, everyone. Before I start this review, I should introduce myself – my name is Mark, and I'm the "Spotify playlist guy" for the METALHEADS Podcast, for whatever that's worth. I am very grateful to George, Buke and Jay for even mentioning the playlists on the podcast, let alone asking me if I wanted to write a review...
