Due to an unforseen drive failure, The Requiem won’t be updating this week. Hopefully we’ll get this fixed soon. Thanks for listening.

Posted By admin on January 27, 2010
Justin Broadrick, mastermind behind Godflesh and now Jesu has a long and varied past when it comes to extreme, genre defying music. His stints in Napalm Death and Head of David brought him to where we first begin our exploration of the first 3 Godflesh full-lengths and various EPs.

Attention metal warriors, as those of you who are loyal listeners know, we are going to be counting down the top 10 greatest years in metal history (in terms of impact, memory etc.), but we need your help. Before making such an important decision, we would like some input and feedback from you folks, so we narrowed it down to the following and we need to get it to 10 and then rank them, so the more all of you can offer, the better (in fact from feedback we’ve already received in other areas, 1973 and 2002 were cut from the mix). We’d like it to be diverse, so as to reflect the four decades of heavy metal history. Thanks

1970
1976

Posted By admin on January 20, 2010

083 The MC5
Posted By admin on January 12, 2010
In an attempt to dig deeper into the origins of the metal genre we thought it would be interesting to delve into one of the most energetic bands in the history of, well music… the MC5! Just as our punk show examined the connections between metal and punk, in this episode we broaden our scope out a bit from the narrow confines of extreme metal and take a sonic history lesson with the help of Mike Johnston. The set list we compiled is heavy on rare and hard to find live versions, so even if you are familiar with the MC5, there are bound to be some gems you haven’t heard before. Also check out the interview Mike did with Dennis “Machinegun” Thompson in 1995, here.
