Saying "new", may be a stretch, but this week Bushy and Metal Mike sit down to discuss albums, bands, and even films, that we have either recently discovered, or recently RE-discovered.
A lot of cool info in this show and we hope you enjoy it.
Bushy could not remember the name of an up and coming traditional thrash band, but found it after this recording. So please, go and check out Mourning High!

Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
This week, Bushy and Metal Mike sit down with every intention of discussing the coming reunion of the four original members of the MIGHTY BLACK SABBATH! And, we do, but we fall into the musical black hole that is all things rock/metal. Metallica. Warrant. And what would an episode be, without a descent into the KISS-hole!
A great discussion with laughs and pathetically objective opinions about the festival celebrating Ozzy and Sabbath!
