ArcSabbath Episode 0.75

In the final teaser episode for the Black Sabbath arc #ArcSabbath, you'll meet the familiar, yet controversial, Uncle Steve, and Joe Siegler, who is new to Feckin' Metal, but has greater insight into Black Sabbath than anyone on the planet!

ArcSabbath Episode 0.5

Finally, the Black Sabbath arc is here. Sort of. This week, I tell my own Black Sabbath story and introduce some of the characters you'll be meeting over the next few weeks. In this episode, you'll hear from Philipp, Ry, Melissa, and Alejandra, who are all Black Sabbath fans, but with very different backgrounds! Over the next few weeks, they'll be sharing their experiences of the band, through a series of interviews I've conducted over the last several weeks! It's heavy riffs and zany characters from here on out, in #ArcSabbath!

Ep23. Earworms & Earnestness

This week, I play some heavy metal earworms, and give you a bit of insight into my fandom of the bands featured. I also speak earnestly about my love for heavy metal! There's a bit of Neil young in here too, but not too much, don't worry. Oh, and there are some interruptions by the postman!

Ep22. Ireland Rocks

Cooler than a fridge wearing in a denim jacket, it's Episode 22 of Feckin' Metal! I discuss Austin Powers, Ms Kensington, and some heavy metal news. I then treat the listener to an education in Irish hard rock and heavy metal, featuring: Primordial, Thin Lizzy, Dio, Seven Sisters, and more! Tiochaidh ár lá!

Ep21. FECK Off And Die!

This week, I catch up with some heavy metal newz (z for you 2000s kidz, when "z" made everything 10% cooler), then, in anticipation for my Black Sabbath arc, I play a couple of clips of Black Sabbath deep cuts, followed by some 90s Motorhead. I finish off with some NWOTHM favourites, but you'll have to listen to find out what they are!

Ep20. Power Metal

This week,  I talk about my love of power metal. Not before discussing Iron Maiden's recent nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2021 ballot, and the small matter of Ronnie James Dio vs. Rob Halford in the battle for the best heavy metal vocalist in all of Eternia, or something like that. After these matters are cleared up, I delve deep into power metal of the 80s, 90s, 00s, and present day. Featuring: Rainbow, Helloween, Riot, Primal Fear, Powerwolf, Sabaton, and more!
