Jeff Wagner

2025/12/15

Jeff WagnerThe story of Voivod is one of otherworldly weirdness. Words fail, comparisons don’t exist and articulating the essence of the Canadian tech-metal/prog-thrash band is an exercise in futility. Until now. With his new book, “Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,” acclaimed metal author Jeff Wagner pens the ultimate biography of one of music’s most oddly intriguing bands. From desolate, chaos-metal beginnings to forays into the outer limits of musical exploration, Wagner picks the

2025/12/01

Dangerous Toys - DemolitionSomewhere in the cobwebs of 1990-93, Texas rockers Dangerous Toys wrote a hellacious stack of songs for a third, major-label album that, unfortunately, never happened. While some of those song ideas subsequently surfaced on the indie-label album, “Pissed,” most were left for dead as “rejects” or unfinished demos. Until now. Singer and co-host Jason McMaster tells us how 10 of those long-lost tracks were dusted off, salvaged (as much as possible) and blessed by Bill Z. Bub
