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 -  RequiemPodcast@gmail.com Support us on Patreon! Follow us on social media: Requiem Fac...

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. Who knows, but we talk about it a lot.   RequiemMetal.com Email us -  RequiemPodcast@gmail.com Support us on Patreon!

Entombed are a band that seemed to changed styles on nearly every release since Left Hand Path. This time we decided to spotlight those changes by taking a look at their early Eps (all can be found on a collection, simply called Entombed that Earache put out in 1997).   "Out of Hand", Out of Hand EP (1994)   Talkset #1 "God of Thunder", Out of Hand EP (1994) "Black Breath", Out of Hand EP (1994) "...

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. The following are our favorite Hanneman-penned tracks.   "South of Heaven" (Home recording), Soundtrack to the Apo...

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! You may just learn something on part two.   "Transylvania", Ir...

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. Join us with our guest Jeff "Grindcore" Coon as we dissect the career of Alice in Chains.   "We Die Young", Facelift (1990)   Talkset #1 "I Can't...

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 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.   Executive Producer: Adrian Camoens   "Th...

We're continuing our Slayer discussion with the Def Jam/American Years (1986-1990) Reign in Blood to Seasons in the Abyss.   "South of Heaven", South of Heaven (1988)   Talkset #1 "Piece by Piece", Reign in Blood (1986) "Jesus Saves", Reign in Blood (1986) "Epidemic", Reign in Blood (1986) "Postmortem", Reign in Blood (1986) "Raining Blood", Reign in Blood (1986) "Ghosts of War", South of Heaven (...

We're joined again by Monica Jackomino to discuss the middle part of the career ofIn Flames. We steer clear of the new stuff.   Executive Producer: Eric Chun   "Jotun", Whoracle (1997)   Talkset #1 "Gyroscope", Whoracle (1997) "Dialogue with Stars", Whoracle (1997) "Episode 666", Whoracle (1997) "Whoracle", Whoracle (1997) "Zombie Inc.", Colony (1999)   Talkset #2 "Embody the Invisible", Colony (1...

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...

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.   Executive Pr...

Since we were just in Norway last episode, it only seemed logical to stick around and discuss the black thrash attack of Aura Noir.   Executive Producer: Adrian Camoens   "Caged Wrath", Black Thrash Attack (1996)   Talkset #1 "Forlorn Blessing to the Dreamking", Dreams Like Deserts (1995) "Wretched Face of Evil", Black Thrash Attack (1996) "Black Thrash Attack", Black Thrash Attack (1996) "Blood U...

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...

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're joined again by Mike Johnston to discuss a band that is without a doubt responsible for influencing extreme music of all kinds from punk to grindcore, The Stooges. This second part we discuss the remainder of their career with a series of interview clips from Ron Asheton and Iggy Pop.   Crowd Banter clip with Iggy Pop "1970", Fun House (1970) Clip with Iggy Pop   Talkset #1 "Dirt", Fun House...

This first part we discuss the first two albums and also transition to a series of interview clips from Ron Asheton and Scott Morgan.   Executive Producer: David Bean   "I Wanna Be Your Dog", The Stooges (1969)   Talkset #1...

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 g...
