Metal Gods Podcast

Guest: Erik Shaw from Maiden A-Z [https://twitter.com/maidenazpod] of the Deep Dive Podcast Network [https://twitter.com/DeepDivePodNet]. Happy 40th anniversary to Screaming for Vengeance! Judas Priest's 8th studio album holds some of their most popular songs... but we're not here to talk about those. Your hosts are dying to talk about "Bloodstone", a personal favorite of the panel. George, Tom, and Hattie are joined by returning guest Erik to wax poetic on abstract lyrics and funky guitar lines. We also look at a live version from 2018, and share some thoughts on the whole album. This episode has seen reason change to treason, and will make you lose sense of all kind!

Guest: Erik Shaw from Maiden A-Z [https://twitter.com/maidenazpod] of the Deep Dive Podcast Network [https://twitter.com/DeepDivePodNet]. Featured song: "Gnaal - the bowed lyre (taglharpe) Funeral march" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muRr8WqrU48] by Eldrim https://eldrim.bandcamp.com/ [https://eldrim.bandcamp.com/] Your hosts finally touch on the last Judas Priest album they've yet to explore! 2014's Redeemer of Soulswas the first to feature Richie Faulkner on guitars, and the 17th Judas Priest album overall. George, Tom, and Hattie are joined by returning guest Erik to talk about "Halls of Valhalla", the standout track from Redeemer. The group also ponders why this album is relatively unpopular in the band's canon and consider what its long-term legacy may be. This episode is as fierce as the gale upon the north sea.

Join our first foray into 1997's Jugulator, the first of two Judas Priest albums featuring Tim Owens on vocals, and a controversial entry in the Judas Priest canon. "Death Row" is our song of the week. Your hosts level some hard criticisms at the song where it's warranted, but praise the performances where it's due. George, Tom, and Hattie address the different opinions of Jugulator held by the fanbase and give their own impressions of the album. This episode will show no mercy, so don't anticipate it.

Guest: Kyle Beam (Undeath) It's time... to defend the faith! But your hosts are going to need some help from Kyle Beam, guitarist of Undeath (Rochester, NY, USA), the hottest band in the current death metal scene. Our task today is to break down "Jawbreaker", a cult classic cut from 1984's seminal Defenders of the Faith. We discuss lyrical interpretations ranging from the semi-official to the unofficially-official to the totally speculative, and we don't hold back. We also check out live versions from 1984, 2015, and even 2001 from Halford's Live Insurrection. This episode is as deadly as the viper and it's on the verge of snapping if it's caught in your ears.

Guest: Adam DiLuzio @bigfknadz [https://twitter.com/bigfknadz] We're back! And we're wishing a Happy 14th birthday to Judas Priest's strange, epic opus Nostradamus, itself the 16th Judas Priest album. The band explored new territory and gave us possibly their most divisive work. George and Tom might not have been thrilled with "Revelations" in Season 1, but can "Prophecy" make a better impression? Special guest Adz carries the torch for this album and song, and highlights its good points. We touch on Judas Priest's live performances during this era, the complicated legacy of the album Nostradamus, the man Nostradamus himself, with time for a few tangents on Symphony X, Queensryche, and Opeth. This episode is like the darkness (born out of light)!
