Metalheads Podcast Top 40 Metal Albums of 2019 Year-End

2019 was an amazing year for metal. So amazing, in fact, we decided to beef up our lists from 25 to 40. Along with our Top 40 album reveals, you'll hear the sounds of George not drinking beer, John breaking down vital statistics, Markisan describing satanic summer home rentals, Matt getting bitchy with Google pronunciation tech, and an under-the-weather Will using a rectal thermometer wrong. We also discuss our Top 5 Metal Album Covers of the Year and debut a brand new, year-end feature – The Jay Award – in honor of Jay spoiling our combined album rankings without apology or regret.

10 Horns with Martin Shouler of Superterrestrial

The word Superterrestrial means “above the earth.” It’s an apt name for a band from Crawley, UK, who adopted it for their otherworldly blend of space-themed, black metal and dark ambient synth. Formed in 2017 by founders Martin Shouler and Warren King, Superterrestrial’s musical amalgam is inspired by the empty, unforgiving darkness and cosmic phenomena of our vast universe.

LONELY IS THE WORD: A Deep Dive into the Myths, Meanings and Metaphors of Ronnie James Dio

“If Dio goes, we all go.” I posted that statement on my Facebook page a few days before Ronnie James Dio passed away. I remember hearing that Heaven and Hell, the reformed and renamed Dio-fronted version of Black Sabbath, cancelled all their upcoming tour dates a few weeks earlier. There were occasional, mostly negative reports on Dio's health leading up to the day as well. Increasingly it became clear he wouldn’t be around much longer.
