Amazing Grace

from Radioactive Metal · host Snowy White

Welcome to our second installment of our Deep Dive series on all the awesome albums celebrating their 40th anniversary i.e. from '84. This week we're looking at Rush's "Grace Under Pressure". This was a divisive effort as the legendary trio shifted from 70s prog to a more 80s look and sound. This album didnt spend a lot of time on our turntables. So we enlisted the services of our resident Rush connoisseur Mark Buell. Mr. Buell plys his trade with Connect Humanity, an organization dedicated to bring the internet to communities facing that challenge. So we put our heads together to straighten out all the whys and wherefores of this amazing record. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss "The Godfather" film and hail the return of "The Savage Sword of Conan" magazine. Musically, we crank some new + used from Razor, Vulture, Stretch Marks, Horndal, Convict (Can), Corpus Vile and Antichrist Siege Machine. And in our "Indie Spotlight" we spin long defunct Canadian punkers D.A.C. Horns Up!
