Metal Academy Podcast Episode 22

First Post March 30, 2019 09:09 PM

I put the finishing touches on episode 22 of "Metal Academy" podcast last night so you can expect it to go live at some stage today. It's the first of five shows to cover the year 1985 with this show focusing on the German & US heavy metal scenes as well as introducing a brand new subgenre in progressive metal. The feature releases are Accept's "Metal Heart", Manilla Road's "Open The Gates" & Fates Warning's "The Spectre Within". We honestly think it's the best episode to date. Let us know what you think of it guys.

I've been a little obsessed with Manilla Road recently. Thanks for the deep analysis of Open the Gates.

You're very welcome, particularly as they've become a bit of an obsession for me in the process. I can't wait to cover more of their albums for the show!
