Heavy Metal Tones

EP 252 Revisit to episode 131 This Haunted Life from 1/11/2023

This week, the grind of everyday life has forced the shadows to open once more. While I wrestle with a heavy workload, we return to a chapter buried deep in the Heavy Metal Tones archives — Episode 131:This Haunted Life. Recorded in 2023, this episode drags up the ghosts that have stalked the edges of my world for as long as I can remember. Flickering shapes in the dark, whispers that never fade, and the invisible weight that follows me still. NORMAL SERVICE WILL RESUME NEXT WEEK… BUT FOR NOW, DESCEND ONCE MORE INTO THE HAUNTING. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EP 252 Aarran Tucker – Bass/Vocals of Struck A Nerve interview

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we dive headfirst into a crushing wall of riffs and raw aggression with Aarran Tucker — the bass-thumping, throat-shredding vocalist of UK thrash newcomers Struck A Nerve. Their self-titled debut album has just landed, and it hits hard: fast, furious, and unrelenting. We’ll explore the driving force behind the record — from the grit of recording, the anger fuelling the lyrics, to the horror-infused riffs that make tracks like “Nocturnal Terror,” “Inside the Torture Fortress” and “Raining Death” surge with venom. Expect stories about what pushed Aarran and the band to create some of the most savage thrash this side of the Atlantic — as well as an inside look at how they plan to take this debut from the studio to the stage. If you’re hungry for head-banging catharsis and brutal honesty, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss. * Watch the official video for “Struck A Nerve” — the album’s title track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4lgSR8Tlxo [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4lgSR8Tlxo&utm_source=chatgpt.com] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4lgSR8Tlxo&utm_source=chatgpt.com] * Watch the video for “Raining Death”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XFQ5jbdhoE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XFQ5jbdhoE&utm_source=chatgpt.com] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XFQ5jbdhoE&utm_source=chatgpt.com] * Stream or grab the full debut album on Bandcamp: https://listenable-records.bandcamp.com/album/struck-a-nerve [https://listenable-records.bandcamp.com/album/struck-a-nerve?utm_source=chatgpt.com] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EP 250 A little rattle and lots of hum (A look back at the very first show and so much more)

This week marks a massive milestone for Heavy Metal Tones — 250 episodes of deep dives, riffs, interviews, and unapologetic metal passion. To celebrate, I’m doing something a little special: I’m uploading the very first, very rough, completely unfiltered pilot episode. It’s raw, messy, honest… and a reminder of just how far the show has come. But that’s not all. Make sure you stay locked in until the very end — there’s a second surprise track waiting for you. A little bonus to mark the occasion and to thank you for sticking with the show. Crank it up and celebrate 250 episodes of metal mayhem. Here’s to many more. patreon/heavymetaltones.com [patreon/heavymetaltones.com] https://payout.bandcamp.com/ [https://payout.bandcamp.com/] https://metal-roos.com.au/dave-tinelt-unleashes-debut-solo-album-power-of-discretion/ [https://metal-roos.com.au/dave-tinelt-unleashes-debut-solo-album-power-of-discretion/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EP 249 Creeper's masterpiece Sanguivore 2 Mistress Of Death

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I dive into Creeper’s latest dark opus, Sanguivore II: Mistresses of Darkness — a record dripping with gothic grandeur and theatrical flair. What was meant to be a quick review turned into something much bigger, as the album pulled me deep into its world of blood, romance, and shadowed melody. Join me as I explore how Creeper continue to evolve their dark rock storytelling and why Mistresses of Darkness might just be their most captivating work yet. https://www.creepercult.com/ [https://www.creepercult.com/].
