This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we dive headfirst into a crushing wall of riffs and raw aggression with Aarran Tucker — the bass-thumping, throat-shredding vocalist of UK thrash newcomers Struck A Nerve. Their self-titled debut album has just landed, and it hits hard: fast, furious, and unrelenting. We’ll explore the driving force behind the record — from the grit of recording, the anger fuelling the lyrics, to the horror-infused riffs that make tracks like “Nocturnal Terror,” “Inside the Torture Fortress” and “Raining Death” surge with venom.

Expect stories about what pushed Aarran and the band to create some of the most savage thrash this side of the Atlantic — as well as an inside look at how they plan to take this debut from the studio to the stage. If you’re hungry for head-banging catharsis and brutal honesty, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we crack open the vault once again for another dive into the legendary Metal Roos Tapes—this time it’s Volume 7. Pulled from the archives of the iconic Australian metal webzine Metal Roos, this episode brings you two powerhouse interviews: Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, serving up raw rock ’n’ roll energy, and Richard Jobson of The Skids, offering insight, attitude, and stories from a life steeped in punk and steel.

Join me as we revisit these rare conversations, packed with grit, history, and the spirit of heavy music in its purest form.

This week marks a massive milestone for Heavy Metal Tones — 250 episodes of deep dives, riffs, interviews, and unapologetic metal passion. To celebrate, I’m doing something a little special: I’m uploading the very first, very rough, completely unfiltered pilot episode. It’s raw, messy, honest… and a reminder of just how far the show has come.

But that’s not all. Make sure you stay locked in until the very end — there’s a second surprise track waiting for you. A little bonus to mark the occasion and to thank you for sticking with the show.

Crank it up and celebrate 250 episodes of metal mayhem. Here’s to many more.
