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.

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

It's Monday so it's time for another "New Release Monday" episode.

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. And no, I'm not going to get into the band's inner conflicts ... we're here to focus on music, dammit!! From New York city here's some street justice!

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. However, 1992 was a particularly good year for all forms of heavy as you'll hear. You'll find that death and thrash metal are heavily represented, but there's also some doom, punk, speed metal, crossover and trad metal to be found as well. It's getting fuckin' hostile out there!!!

Join The Mighty Decibel as we name our fave albums for the month of May 2024 across four categories: Extreme Metal Stoner Doom Hardcore Punk Hard'N'Heavy Hail!!!

The first time I witnessed Anvil (twice in one night!) was at The Danforth Music Hall when they opened for Motorhead on their Ace of Spades tour. Lights went down and a mop-topped crazed guitarist ran through the crowd in full guitar-on-stun mode by way of introduction. They definitely got my attention ... so much so that I still call myself a fan some 44 years (and counting!) later. (In fact, this seasoned concert goer hasn't seen any other band as many times as I've taken in these Canuckleheads in a live setting.) Here The Mighty Decibel curates the Canadian band's best 40 minutes from their first three classic albums for your listening and headbanging pleasure. Let the bedroom games begin!!!

The Mighty Decibel's Chris Tighe once again joined Average Joe on the Wasting Time With Average Joe podcast ... this time to discuss "Overrated Classic Albums". Agree or disagree?

Some of the premier black thrash of the last decade has been coming from the Midnight camp, so it's high time that The Mighty Decibel celebrates the band's discography with an In 40 Minutes episode dedicated to the band's best tracks.

Manowar - no other band fractures the metal world like the self-proclaimed "Kings of Metal". Some pound their chest and pledge allegiance to the band, while others simply let out a laugh at the mere mention of their name. Me? I absolutely love the first four full lengths (represented here), while smirking at the band's he-man persona and definately hearing a drop in quality from thereon out to the present day. That said, you can still find some great tracks on the latter material ... which will be the subject of separate future playlists. Today though we focus on the essential first four full lengths putting together a kick-ass playlist of black wind that'll have all the animals out there raising their gloves of metal. Hail!!! Side One Battle Hymns (1982) (0:00) Manowar (3:38) Battle Hymns Into Glory Ride (1983) (10:35) Gloves of Metal (16:00) Gates of Valhalla Side 2 Hail To England (1984) (23:30) Hail To England (27:55) Blood of My Enemies Sign of the Hammer (1984) (32:20) Animals (35:50) Sign of the Hammer

I'll be honest. I've always struggled with getting my head around all things Yes, finding much of their discography overly complex and pretentious ... fidgety-on-purpose ear-ache-my-eye kinda stuff. However, after much training and coaxing from my brother who absolutely adores the band, I have been able to extract an hour and half of their material that sits comfortably in my best-of prog rock file. Here I have extracted 50 minutes from that file, a playlist that I hope may just appeal to you metalheads out there who are also struggling with the enigma that is Yes. I've seen all good headbangers joining the Yes call!!!

Sure, sure Heart joined the long list of corporate whore rockers, well deserving of rockers' disdain for the band. However, in the 70s (and 1980's Bebe Le Strange) Heart mixed mellow moments with hard hitting rock-outs on their full lengths.

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. This 1991 episode shows that no specific heavy sub-genre was leading the pack, instead we have as diverse a grouping as you'll ever find in our ever growing series. From extreme metal to folk metal, from punk to hard rock, from boogie rock to grindcore ... it's all represented in this ode to 1991. Don't worry though, metal will arise after the 90s!!!

Undoubtedly, most fans of Britain's mighty Status Quo revere the band's 70s output while poopooing everything thereafter. Personally, I laugh in their direction, as the boogie merchant's discography is littered with great tracks and albums after their 70s heydays. Here we have compiled the cream of the crop of Status Quo's 80s output for your listening pleasure proving once again why they are the best rock'n'roll band of all time.

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal. This 1990 playlist represents thrash metal's decline, loosening the grip it had on the metal landscape over the previous 5 years or so. Here you'll find a diverse selection of loud sub-genres represented: from thrash to death to trad metal to hard rock ... and even melodic punk. It may be grunge outside, but it's all metal inside!!!

Many a hard rocker have turned their backs to Ritchie Blackmore when he hung up his electric guitar in the late 90s to entertain his interest in Renaissance music by creating Blackmore's Night with his vocalist and soon to be wife, Candace Night. Sure, Deep Purple and Rainbow fanatics will not find power chords in this venture, but dammit what beautiful sounds you'll encounter if you open your ears to the band. Hurdy gurdy, acoustic guitar, mandolin and wood winds abound as the music takes you back to a time when music was played by candle light. In this playlist you'll find the essential 40 minutes from the Blackmore's Night discography. Raise your hands and your glasses too!!!

This week we return to our "Deep Album Tracks" series where we focus on songs never/rarely played by a well known band despite the tracks being more than worthy.

We continue with our 'The Year In Metal" series by proceeding to 1989, a year where thrash metal continued to dominate the heavy scene (check out our previous episodes!). Other extreme sub-genres are represented as well, as hardcore, death metal, crossover and black metal also make appearances.

We here at The Mighty Decibel cauliflower our ears with metal/punk beatings on a regular basis, so it's good to listen to some wimphem the odd time to rest our nerves and earholes. And one of the wimpiest artists we listen to has to be Hartmann who are led by ex At-Vance guitarist/vocalist Oliver Hartmann. His breathy vocals remind me of David Coverdale of Deep Purple/Whitesnake fame, while the music is a mix of melodic hard rock and outright ballads (gasp!). Yeah, yeah - call me a wimp. But lend an ear to this and I'll bet that you'll be drawn into its dastardly grip too. Don't be left out in the cold ... come alive again!!!

Welcome back to another episode in our Discography Review series (check out our previous episodes too!). This time out we pontificate and wax poetic regarding the greatest folk metal band of all time ... the mighty Falkenbach!! Grab an ale, sit back and let us narrate the story of Markus Toomers (aka Vratyas Vakyas) and his one man venture into all things Viking. Hail!!!

Time to celebrate the recording history of what I consider to be the greatest unknown melodic metal outfit on the planet ... High Spirits. The first three albums are absolute classics of the genre, haymakers littering the albums just waiting for people to discover. The next two weren't quite as stacked in depth, but highlights are easy to spot. Then this year's latest upped the ante finding the band almost back in full power. So come join us on this most magnificent listening journey, for most certainly you will find your spirits flying high when you push play ...
