Lots of praise is regularly heaped on the early Michael Schenker era UFO material while the post Strangers In the Night Schenker albums get short shrift. We aim to rectify that issue with this latest In 40 Minutes segment. There are three albums to consider over a 7 year period between 1995 and 2002 with more than enough strong material to create an impressive 40+ minute set list of sparkling hard rock ... UFO style. This version of the band may have come unravelled soon thereafter (and in-between!), but there's no disputing these fighting men put out some great tracks during the period. Side One Walk On Water (1995) (0:00) Pushed To the Limit (3:47) Venus (9:01) Stopped By A Bullet (13:34) Knock, Knock Covenant (2000) (17:53) Midnight Train Side 2 (22:40) Fool's Gold (28:09) Unravelled (32:19) Serenade Sharks (2002) (37:15) Quicksilver Rider (41:23) Fighting Man

Our Hard'N'Heavy series of podcasts focuses on new traditional metal and hard rock releases ... along with the odd hard rock'n'roll and melodic punk outing.

Time to shine the light on another underrated band. This time we're focused laser-like on Italian epic/trad/stoner outfit The Wizards. Four full length albums into their nine year recorded history, there's a ton of great material to pick from and here, my friends, is an impressive overview of the band's output. Hear how the band progresses from Danzig worshippers to writers of passionate trad metal with balls. Saviours of old school trad metal? Take a listen and decide for yourselves ...

Join The Mighty Decibel as we name our fave albums of July 2024 across four categories: Extreme Metal Stoner Doom Metal Hardcore Punk Hard'N'Heavy Grind 'til death!!!!

Time to revisit the discography of the mighty Status Quo. We've previously visited the 70s and 80s, so it's logical (and sequential!) that we now proceed to the 90s, an era that many fans of the rock'n'roll kings ignore. At their own peril as you'll soon hear. Three albums were produced that decade, two of which are very good while the third has its peaks (and valleys unfortunately). Time to boogie like a zombie!!! Side One Rock 'Til You Drop (1991) (0:00) Like a Zombie (4:59) One Man Band (9:25) Can't Give You More (13:48) No Problems Thirsty Work (1994) (18:32) I Didn't Mean It Side 2 (21:53) Queenie Under the Influence (1999) (25:21) Under the Influence (29:21) Shine On (34:03) Blessed Are the Meek (38:20) The Way It Goes

We continue our 'The Year In Heavy" series as move further into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. However, 1993 was a particularly good year for black metal as you shall hear. But fear not ... death metal, grindcore, hard rock, melodic punk, doom and thrash are also represented. An eclectic mix of heaviness to be sure. Things are gonna get out of hand!!!! Side 1 (0:00) "Out of Hand": ENTOMBED - Wolverine Blues (3:15) "Recipe For Hate": BAD RELIGION - Recipe For Hate (5:16) "Sadhu Satana": IMPALED NAZARENE - Ugra Karma (7:44) "A Twist In The Tail": DEEP PURPLE - The Battle Rages On (11:55) "Burner": MOTORHEAD - Bastards (14:47) "Democrator": COMECON - Converging Conspiracies Side 2 (19:01) "Only": ANTHRAX - The Sound of White Noise (23:58) "Ride": CATHEDRAL - The Etherial Mirror (28:43) "No Love Lost": CARCASS - Heartwork (32:05) "Unholy Black Metal": DARKTHRONE - Under A Funeral Moon (35:26) "A Sign For The Norse Hordes To Ride": IMMORTAL - Pure Holocaust (37:56) "Darkness Breeds Immortality": MARDUK - Those of the Unligh

After the demise of the mighty Ramones there was a huge hole left in the fun-punk sub-genre. However, youngest member CJ (this fans' second fave Ramones dude (after Johnny)) stepped up and provided starving punk rockers with some great material that would have easily fit on latter era Ramones albums. So here we celebrate that material with 40 minutes of the best CJ Ramone solo material. Gabba gabba, we accept you, we accept you, one of us!!! Side One Understand Me?

One doesn't dream of Portland, Oregon when thinking about locales for some of the most vicious and compelling black metal put to tape. But you should given that Thy Infernal harken from this locale. In the late 90s and early 00s, Thy Infernal terrorized the land by releasing two of the best (and criminally underrated) USBM albums ever spitted out in the name of good ol' Beelzebub. Here The Mighty Decibel provides you with 40 minutes of the band's best material ... for the glory of Satan.

It's been a little too polite around these parts lately, so it's time to fuck shit up with some blasphemous, abrasive black metal! Specifically, we'll be celebrating the discography of Finland's nastiest band ... Impaled Nazarene. Pat yourself on the back if you're able to withstand the full 40+ minutes of vile hatred put to music. Goats! More goats!!!!! Side One Tor Compt Norz Norz Norz ...

I like Weezer. There I said it. A metalhead ain't supposed to like this band, but, dammit, I consider both the Blue and Green albums as perfect 10 out of 10s. (The rest of the discography - not so much.) At their best Weezer always sounded to me like a combination of 70s Black Sabbath doom dirge crossed with The Beach Boys harmonies. Absolutely essential listening to these ears when in need of some harmonious music. Birthed in a garage, this knockdown dragout fare will put a smile on yer face!!!!

Let me introduce you to the cure - The Dirty Denims!

Time for some NYHC (New York Hardcore for the uneducated!), as we shine the light on the doiscography of the pugilistic Cro-Mags. An interesting listen this one considering the evolution the band's sound throughout their six full length releases.
