Metal at 50

from CiTR -- Powerchord Hosted by CiTR & Discorder Magazine

Black Sabbath's first album was released on Friday, Febuary 13th, 1970. Loud, heavy rock and roll, high-powered amplification, distortion, and drugs existed prior to that, but Sabbath's use of the tritone on the first song of their first album added the final crucial ingredient -- they made the music sound EVIL. That moment represents heavy metal's "Big Bang", the inception of all the metal that has come since. Today's show (and every show we do) is a celebration of that legacy in all its forms. You'll hear triumphant, sword-raising power metal, ripping, riotous speed metal, beer swilling, Satan-praising blackened thrash, plenty of amplifier-worshiping doom and lots more. We'll dig a song from Australia's legendary hard rock/protopunk band The Saints out of The Graveyard, and get hyped for Church of Misery playing at the Rickshaw on February 28th. Plus, we pay tribute to legendary Cynic and Death drummer Sean Reinert, who passed away last month at the age of 48. Turn it up, and rage at the void with us.
