Welcome to the Metal Mama Podcast where melody, magic and might collide! I'm your host, Candace, and I'm here to take you on a journey through the world of power metal and its mesmerizing subgenres.
On each episode, we embark on a quest through sweeping landscapes of sound, exploring the soaring vocals, lightning-fast guitar solos, and epic lyrical narratives that define power metal. But we're not just here to dissect the music – we're here to celebrate it!
Joining me are a diverse array of guests, from power metal enthusiasts to musicians, critics, and even a few dragons (well, metaphorically speaking).

Together, we delve into the subgenres that make power metal so enchanting, whether it's symphonic power, folk-infused melodies, or even the unexplored corners of cyber-fueled power.

Episode 015: "Metal for the Family"
vendredi 22 septembre 2023 • Duration 57:22
On this episode, Candace is joined by one of the most inspiring people she's had the chance to talk to. Shred Rogers, a multi-talented metal musician comes on the show to talk about his projects. We touch on horror elements and comics and how they inspire musicians/artists, then he explains why he's started a family friendly metal project. This was such a cool episode to record. Not just because of two metal heads sharing their love of music, but hearing such an inspiring story or five.

Episode 014: "One Hundred Degrees of Music Videos"
vendredi 8 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:02:46
In this episode, Candace is joined by Charlotte, lead singer of Terminal Dusk. Charlotte gives us a behind the scenes tale of their newest music video, and then we move into talking about the amazing power of female metal singers. Then, we move into a serious discussion. Candace gives her own take on being a woman who is into metal, and Charlotte lays down her experience from the side of a performer. It is an eye-opening discussion where Candace just shuts up and lets the woman share her story. After that, it's a whole lot of talking about metal and why we feel bad when we don't like a band we love.

Episode 012: Technically, it's Metal.
lundi 14 août 2023 • Duration 45:43
Today, Candace is joined by Pete Rawcliffe from Crown Solace. We discuss the band's new EP, and take a dive into the technical side of vocals. After that, Pete talks a little about his inspirations and what pushed a sopranist into the metal side of things. As usual, there's never a topic and everything goes back to metal.
Apologies for the audio issues. We use a pretty piece of software, but Pete's internet didn't like it and we had to resort to Pete using his phone.
