This week we pretend like it’s still Gothtober and bring you a 2nd volume of a “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!” from a band we covered 2 Halloweens ago. Another in-depth exploration of a perennial Halloween favorite for us: the frightfully amazing HELLOWEEN! This German band has had a long-lasting impact on Kevin, but will Captain Content agree that they should have a much bigger spotlight shone on them?

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we have featured on the show several times over the years including our 2005-2021 episode 2-years ago. A German band that helped and establish the metal genre known as, “Power Metal”. Unfortunately, their brilliance and innovation has never fully been recognized to the degree that it deserves. We think they SHOULD BE HUGE… and we are ready to fly that banner proudly!

Songs this week include:

1. Helloween - “Where The Rain Grows” from Master Of The Rings (1994)
2. Helloween - “Power” from The Time Of The Oath (1996)
3. Helloween - “We Burn” from High Live (1996)
4. Helloween - “Midnight Sun” from Better Than Raw (1998)
5. Helloween - “Lay All Your Love On Me (ABBA)” from Metal Jukebox (1999)
6. Helloween - “Mr. Torture” from The Dark Ride (2000)
7. Helloween - “Hell Was Made In Heaven” from Rabbit Don’t Come Easy (2003)

Meet us in the pit this week for a hella good time! We’re getting our aggression by revisiting the starting point of Kevin’s music fandom.

This week we celebrate our 20th installment of an ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We bring you an in-depth exploration of an awesome boogie metal / southern rock n’ punk band from the grimy & gritty NYC Lower East Side of the 1980s: RAGING SLAB! This band featured equal parts Skynyrd and Metallica complete with a kick-ass bottleneck slide lead guitar. Touring with a cross-section of bands like Chili Peppers, Ramones, Molly Hatchet, GnR, and Warrant while boasting a southern rock stomp pre-dating The Black Crowes; we think this band Shoulda Been Huge!!! 

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we featured on the show earlier this year during our exploration of Genres From The Netherworld (Ep. 137). Robert enjoyed them so much, he asked that they be revisited at some point. Unfortunately, their amazing brand of boogie metal was never recognized to the degree that it deserved; partly due to a series of unfortunate incidences and pure bad luck. 

Songs this week include:

1. Raging Slab – “Mr. Lucky” from Assmaster (1987)
2. Raging Slab – “Get Off My Jollies” from True Death (1988)
3. Raging Slab – “Bent For Silver” from Raging Slab (1989)
4. Raging Slab – “Lord Have Mercy” from Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert (1993)
5. Raging Slab - “C’mon N’ On” from Sing Monkey Sing (1996)
6. Raging Slab – “Sir Lord Ford…” from The Dealer (2001)
7. Raging Slab – “Ruby” from (Pronounced Eat-Shit) (2002)
8. Raging Slab – “Bury Me Deep” from (Pronounced Eat-Shit) (2002)

With the beginning of November comes 2 major events here in the US that we decided to Frankenstein together… Hence, Election Day Of The Dead! Join us as we wax poetically about political wax. No matter what side you are on (the ass, the pachyderm, or the angry anarchist), we can all come together to celebrate those that have passed on and rock out to some politically charged rock n’ punk n’ metal!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

1. Bear Vs. Shark – “Entrance Of The Elected” from Terrorhawk(2005)
