Here’s a link to an album review I did for for Metal Army America. The group is called City Of Fire, it features Burton C. Bell and Byron Stroud of Fear Factory. This is actually the second review I have put together for this album (the previous one can be found here). You can read the review here.
Tonight’s episode of Mars Attacks Radio is based on books I have read recently regarding various artists. As a result you will hear music from the following acts:
Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Slash, Motorhead, Fozzy, Motley Crue, Sixx AM, Brian “Head” Welch, Andy Taylor and Pantera
The episode debuts tonight at 8PM EST / 5PM PST on stream A of MarkStriglRadio.com
During this episode we speak to Blitz from Overkill and Jose from Bonded By Blood. The original intent was to release this episode sometime back in July, but with all of the circumstances revolving around my life it made things difficult to do so. For those of you that don’t know my wife had been pregnant, and was bed ridden for most of two months. Unfortunately she had a miscarriage a little after this interview was conducted, and life was pretty much put on hold. A little after this happened my company had to make some difficult decision to help the company stay a float, and anyone that had unemployment benefits was let go. And you guessed it I was given the pick slip at the time. With all of this said, things could be worse and as my brother always says, no matter how bad things are, there is always someone that’s worse off than you are. Luckily, things are looking good for the future, so I can’t really complain.
In any event, the interview with Blitz was done back in January before Ironbound, Overkill’s latest album came out. Among the items discussed during this interview are Ironbound, and subsequent tour, the early days of Megaforce Records, the “Big Four”, his 30 year musical partnership with DD Verni, Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, the NY Steel Benefit Show, the project he did with Dan Lorenzo called The Cursed, Hail! and his involvement in Turtlehead!
