The Department of Metal Antiquities

As a musical genre, heavy metal (and all it"s sub-genres) has only existed for 50 years, but in that time there have been a great many happenings that we have collectively forgotten. In this podcast Nik Cameron and Duncan Evans will be going through albums, concerts, etc in a vain glorious attempt to remember it all. We contextualize the subject and then we take it track by track. In the end, we"ll tell you if you should spin it or bin it.

DMA #101: "Metal Magic" by Pantera

The Department of Metal Antiquities ·

2022/11/20

Let's get ourselves right back into the mix and mess up the mix and mix up the mess. Back in the early 80's, there was a band called Pantera and it featured the Abbot Brothers, Rex Brown, but not Phil Anselmo. It's well known to the metal community that this lineup of the band did get into the studio and release four albums, they refuse to re-release those indie albums they did. So, in true Department of Metal Antiquities fashion, Duncan and Nik get all up in the business of Metal Magic.

The Department of Metal Antiquities ·

2022/10/25

At the end of 1983, something unique happened. Two masters of glam rock and glam pop rock got together and wrote a song. Those two greats would be Neal Schon of Journey and Sammy Hagar of Montrose, solo, and later Van Halen. Joined by a tight rhythm section, they took the show on the road and that's largely how they recorded the album as well.

Sometimes it's hard to believe how things just get lost. Here's a great example of that.

Sammy was out, DLR was in then out, and Gary Cherone was IN. Come along as Nik details seeing the Cherone led Van Halen live and gives you the history of a very turbulent time in Van Halen's history. Duncan gives you the ins and outs of the music and we'll

2022/08/30

As I say on this particular podcast, there's nothing cooler than when my friends are friends. This week, we are once again graced by the silver tongued devil, the coastal elite, and my partner in my other endeavor, Keefy Chackes, Editor of Ghost Cult Magazine. So, basically, I was thinking to myself as I was listening to the record, it occurred to me that Keefy and I did a whole series on Thin Lizzy that didn't feature this album, so let's get him on the line!
