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.

Here's where things get a little bit strange. Back in the late 90's, there apparently was a meeting that very nearly created a revival, not reunion, of what was once considered to be Public Image Ltd, but Johnny Lydon wouldn't do it. So, instead we got The Damage Manual featuring Martin Atkins of PIL, Chris Connelly of Ministry on vocals, Geordie Walker of Killing Joke on guitar, and Jah Wobble of PIL on bass. What could've been right? But the DMA didn't miss the mark, we were

It was 1989 Anno Doimini and the merger of some of Black Oak Arkansas and Pantera was joining and perhaps ganing steam. Terry Glaze, the voice of Pantera on their first three independent albums meets with Chris Craig and Barney Wolfe, both formerly of Black Oak Arkansas, and they along with guitarist, Jimmy Rusidoff, they create a brand new hair metal band that's equal parts Rolling Stones, Exodus, Beastie Boys, and Poison. Is this a bridge too far with too many different things going on all at

In the greatest heavy metal cartoon of all time, Murderface referred to himself as the Lead Songwriter for Dethklok. Honestly, how often is that kind of thing really true? Well, today's album is what happens when the bassist of a band fully takes on a Lead Songwriting role. Now, as this is truly on brand, this might be the most forgotten album we have ever covered, because it was only released on an advanced copy for reviews and radio play. There has never been a commercial release. Join

Anyone listening to this kind of music who's around my age has got to remember "Joe Elliott" coming up to "Phil Collen" in the VH1 made for TV movie about Def Leppard. Right? Well anyway. That was the scene where Collen is recruited to replace Pete Willis. So, what was Mr. Collen doing before joining? He was in a band called Girl and he was bandmates with future LA Guns singer, Phil Lewis. This band was PHILLED up with Phils. So this week, we've got a glam rock

Before the reformation of Carcass, there was a project that brought together many different metal musicians. Jeff Walker seemed to call his entire roladex of metallers.

So, when you have this esteemed group of players from legendary metal bands, he did exactly what everybody would have wanted, he released a covers album of classic country and Americana songs.

What if you had this band that went on to fame and fortune in the metal industry? A band that was so cool and unique that it inspired two separate musical genres? Now, what if you were the record label that had this band and decided it wasn't worth releasing the debut record of theirs you paid for? Well, that's what happened to our good friends in Motörhead. How insane is that? Later, once they got popular, this label thought, well, we might as well cash in right? As we all know cash albums

This is a weird episode frankly. We're talking about Punk Rock Royalty, Johnny Lydon, teaming up with world's greatest stunt guitarist, Steve Vai, who's played with Zappa, David Lee Roth, etc, a recluse drum god, Ginger Baker, and the efforts of a stalwart producer and bassist, Bill Laswell. The idea of Johnny Rotten working with confirmed virtuosos and allowing them to do their funky stuff is mindbending. Join Nik and Duncan as they dig in deep! Duncan:
