This episode we delve into the proto-heavy metal of Deep Purple. Initially we were going to do an In Rock Vs Machine Head show, but after discussing it a bit, it would be impossible to chose one over the other. So, we just talk about how great Deep Purple is for an hour and a half. RequiemMetal.com Email us - [email protected] Support us on Patreon!

This episode we tackle the divisive album Demanufacture from Fear Factory. Was it responsible for Nü-Metal taking hold or did it further the boundaries of extreme music.

Unfortunately we lost one of the great guitarists in all of music recently... Jeff Hanneman of Slayer. The loss struck closer to home for us than the likes of Dio or Jon Lord, while they were a blow to heavy music, Hanneman was our generation of metal and our entry into extreme music.

We've talked about Maiden in the past, but since one half of the Requiem cast is a history teacher by day, we figured why not do a Maiden show based around historical themes? This gave us a chance to play songs that we normally wouldn't and approach the show from a perspective of something Jason knows better than many of us... History!

This episode we change gears completely from our usual fare and focus on Alice in Chains, a band tied to thrash by it's opening support on the 1991 leg of the Clash of the Titans tour and going on to surpass all those bands in sales barely a year later.

After two acclaimed records, Dissection frontman Jon Nödtveidt got involved in the Misanthropic Luciferian Order which led to him being an accomplice to murder and spent the next 7 years in prison. The buzz around the rebirth of Dissection was huge and expectations were high, but the release of their final album, Reinkaos was met with less than enthusiastic responses. We discuss this final chapter in the history of Dissection this episode and try to shed some light on this under appreciated record.

In the next few episodes we're going to be spotlighting records that we feel are underrated or widely unknown. This installment is Sweden's Dawn. A band that were unfortunately lumped into the glut of the late 90s symphonic black metal and hyperspeed melodic death metal. Dawn, however stand above the rest in content and delivery. Bask in the Slaughtersun.

Say what you will about the current incarnation of In Flames, but once upon a time they were leaders in the Gothenburg scene along with At The Gates and Dark Tranquility. They might have strayed a little along the way, but their early discography holds some gems that warrant discussion. For this episode we're joined by Monica Jackomino(ten years our junior) to discuss the early years of In Flames with two generations of metalheads.

From the ashes of Sleep, guitar maverick Matt Pike along with Des Kensel has carved an unmistakeable sonic identity of equal parts Mötorhead, Sabbath, 70s rock and fantasy themes ala Cirith Ungol and Dio with a propulsive rhythm section that is second to none. This episode we take a brief tour through the career of one of extreme music's most unlikely "success stories",High on Fire.

It was a sad day when Immortal called it quits in 2003. But we didn't have to wait long until one of the Doom Occulta brothers came back with another frosty entry into the Blashyrkh cannon, with I. It incorporated the grim tone of Immortal, but added a triumphant/NWOBHM vibe that they hadn't really been explored before. The Popeye vocals and unusual riffing were still present, but you could still hear the soul of Immortal coming through. Then in 2009 Immortal rode back onto the scene with All Shall Fall, a more epic streamlined incarnation of their unique take on black metal. Expounding on the "Immortal sound" Demonaz unleashed The March of the Norse, which almost acts as a sister album to the afore mentioned All Shall Fall. The Doom Occulta brothers continue to Storm Through Red Clouds and Holocaust winds into the future...

Perhaps one of the most important bands in extreme metal. From their avant-garde beginnings to their thrash-infused later output, they have blazed their own unique path. Their Slaughter of the Soul record influenced a whole new sub-genre of metal (for better or worse) and their music seems as vital now as when it was released. At The Gates are a band that are well overdue for an episode spotlight.

We don't often go to the Netherlands when coming up with show topics (although we should more often), but we thought it was high time that Pestilence got a little attention. Coming out of the mid-80s, they brought with them a thrash sensibility, but soon incorporated brutal/technical death metal elements, culminating in their Testimony of the Ancients album. This episode we're joined by frequent guest Chris Dick, as we navigate through their Consuming Impulse and Testimony of the Ancients records.

As has become a yearly tradition, we go through and spotlight our favorite releases of 2011 from the extreme metal world.

Before the retro-Thrash revival of the 2000's, there were a handful of death metal bands channeling the genre's energy and aesthetics. Witchery brought elements from Teutonic thrash, NWOBHM and Mercyful Fate, while keeping the barbarity of death metal. Featuring members of Satanic Slaughter, Seance, The Haunted, Opeth and Mercyful Fate, Witchery is a virtual who's who of metal royalty.

What more can be said about Slayer? Well, that's kinda what we thought too. This episode has been a longtime coming and we had a certain amount of hesitation due to the fact that so much has already been documented about the band, but we ended up having quite a bit to say about this early era. Along with Celtic Frost and Venom,Slayer are one of the most important bands to help shape the extreme metal world.

After last week's dose of black metal, we figured it was time to represent some true "white metal". Nearly 11 years into their career, Trouble jumped leaps and bounds with producer Rick Rubin on their self titled 1990 album. Similar toKyuss, Trouble was a band that didn't fit into any scene and really was ahead of it's time. Alternative rock was rising, thrash was waning and the extreme metal scene was on the verge of some mainstream representation. Trouble were an island among these other scenes and until years later, this album wasn't really appreciated like it could have been. Now long out of print, Trouble's Trouble is ripe for reissue.

Black metal seems to be of of the most conservative of genres, but also one of the most innovative. Craft falls into the later. They approach their songwriting through the lens of lo fi black metal (ala Darkthrone/Burzum) but manage to retain a high production value that doesn't lessen the impact of the music with spit and polish. Born from the land of Bathory, but owes more to their Norwegian brethren, Craft make a compelling case for destroying all mankind and matter.

We've arrived at part 2 of our Voivod coverage. This second half of their career sees the most turbulent upheaval of the core group. Members leave, a member dies, styles change and a new incarnation is born. Voivod scholar and friend of the show, Jeff Wagner join us again to discuss this truly crucial band.

Not often can you say that a band sounds like nobody else. Voivod are one of the rare cases where it's true. Formed in 1982 in Canada, Voivod have run the gamut of extreme metal styles, but have alway retained a very unique dissonance and mythology that are distinctly their own. Voivod scholar and friend of the show, Jeff Wagner join us this episode to discuss the first chapter of this truly crucial band.

Culled from members of Gorgoroth, Audrey Horn and Manngard; Sahg blend doom, rock n roll and psychedelia into a seamless package that is deceptively simple. But simple doesn't mean simplistic. More streamlined and thoughtful. Similarly to Pig Destroyer, they craft riffs that you'd swear you've heard before, but you can't place them. We delve into their full 3 album discography on this episode and shed some light on a band that is criminally underrated.

This week we tackle Electric Wizard, one of the most requested show topics in recent memory. Since their inception, they have continually defied expectation and have become the torchbearers of pushing the boundaries of doom and heavy music in general. In part 1 we discuss their first four releases and chart their conventional doom rise to the sonic barbarity of Dopethrone.

Sweden seems to be our goto country, so it's no surprise we're back to discuss one of the obscure gems of the early 90s... Eucharist. An anomaly in the melodic death metal scene, they have more in common with At The Gates Red in the Sky... than Dark Tranquility or In Flames, using weird time signatures and unconventional riffs. We basically go through every era of their career in this crucial episode.

Ireland isn't a country often associated with the extreme metal scene. But there is one notable exception... Primordial. The struggles and oppression they have overcome as a people is clearly felt through Primordial's lyrics, songwriting and imagery. Similar to the "viking metal" movement, they have used national pride and history as a basis for their entire career. In this first part we explore their first four records.

Everyone knows the controversy surrounding Mayhem and the death of Euronymous at the hand of Varg Vikernes and the suicide of previous singer Dead, but beyond the sensationalism there is is a fantastic musical document that remains. This episode we discuss the merits of one of the most important black metal albums of all time. The riffing, unconventional songwriting and one of the most impressive drum performances up to that point all add up to a wealth of influence that is still heard to this day. Executive Producer: Ron Merz "Funeral Fog", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) Talkset #1 "Chainsaw Gutsfuck", Deathcrust (1987) Talkset #2 "Freezing Moon", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) "Cursed in Eternity", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) "Pagan Fears", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) Talkset #3 "Life Eternal", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) "From the Dark Past", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) "Cursed by Time and Dust", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) Talkset #4 "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas", De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (1994) RequiemMetal.com Email us - [email protected] Support us on Patreon!

Morbid Angel is quite possibly the most important band in extreme metal, influencing countless black and death metal acts and reshaping the possibilities of extreme music. In recent years they have been flying under-the-radar with the promise of an album reuniting the classic David Vincent-era lineup. With such lofty expectations of what the new music might hold, fans were clamoring to hear Morbid Angel back at their best. But as many have sadly discovered, their new album sounds like an out of touch attempt at recapturing their classic inventiveness, but in a sadly pathetic way. So this (along with the advice of Albert Mudrian) we decided to reexamine the Steve Tucker-era Morbid Angel and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and creativity in this later era output.

It's been a long time coming, but we thought it was high time that we brought Overkill into the discussion. Considered one of the originators of thrash, yet often relegated to a second tier act. Similar to Exodus, circumstances prevented them from releasing a record until well after Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax already gained prominence in the scene. This episode we discuss the first 5 albums and hopefully shine a well deserved light on this crucial thrash band.

Back to some of the roots of extreme metal this week. Black Sabbath might be the first thing to come to mind when you hear Witchfinder General, but beyond some surface similarities, they are quite different beasts. Coming out of the NWOBHM scene, they didn't really fit in with their peers and were only a blip on the radar, until later touted as fuel for the later doom scene eruption in the late 80s. We discuss their blatant influence on Cathedral as well as how their lyrical content and image were a precursor to modern doom acts like Electric Wizard.

We're trying something a little different this week. We often discuss and relate non-metal acts into our music conversations, but this time we're going to make a non-metal band the subject of this week's show. While definitely having metallic elements, Germany's The Notwist encompass multiple genres into their music and have a pervasive "unsettling" undertone that makes them a good (although not obvious) choice for our first foray into discussing a non-metal band on the show.

We're digging into the vault on this one. Two Swedish bands that had humble beginnings, but contained members that would go on to be a part of bands that would shape the genre. House of Usher, a band with little output, but a huge reputation within Swedish death metal circles and featured Martin Larsson who would go onto At The Gates and Stefan Källarsson from Crypt of Kerberos. Then we have Crystal Age, an abrasive, technical death metal outfit with a penchant for Star Wars lyrics featuring Oscar Dronjak, who would later go on to form Hammerfall and had a stint in Ceremonial Oath, and drummer Hans Nilsson, from Dimension Zero and Liers in Wait, was also on the Far Beyond Divine Horizons.
