This week on Heavy Metal Tones things take an unexpected turn. The planned review of Sepultura had to be postponed due to personal reasons, but the metal gods delivered something just as crushing in its place.

Episode 277 becomes a Cavalera family affair as I dive into two exclusive interviews. First up is metal legend Max Cavalera talking all things Soulfly, the spirit of heavy music, and the fire that still drives one of metal’s most influential voices. Then I’m joined by his stepson Richie Cavalera from Incite as we discuss the band’s evolution, modern groove metal aggression, and carrying the Cavalera legacy into a new generation.

No scripts, no plans, just raw conversation, heavy riffs, and two generations of extreme metal power on one massive episode of Heavy Metal Tones.

The 50 Years of Punk (1976–2026) series rolls into Part 4, and in this month's special we hit one of the true bridge records of the era. Before punk fully kicked the doors off the hinges, Eddie and the Hot Rods were already flooring the accelerator — and their debut album Teenage Depression became the missing link between the grit of Pub Rock and the explosion of Punk Rock.

In Episode 276, I dive into how this high-octane record captured the urgency, attitude and street-level energy that helped spark a movement. We’ll explore the band’s place in the late-70s scene, the raw sound that pushed pub rock into overdrive, and why Teenage Depression still feels like a live wire nearly 50 years on.

Turn it up, feel the speed, and join me for another chapter in punk history on Heavy Metal Tones.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones – Episode 275, we unleash the ferocity of Destruction Of The Healer and their brand-new album A Universe Bereaved

This isn’t doom — this is full-throttle extreme metal. Savage riffs, relentless drums, and a dark, apocalyptic atmosphere that hits like a meteor strike. This record is intense, aggressive, and absolutely uncompromising, and we’re diving deep into the tones, the songwriting, and where this beast of an album sits in the modern underground.

I’ll also be spinning the first single “Beastial Hunger”, so prepare yourself for a taste of the chaos.

If your metal is fast, brutal, and unrelenting… this episode is essential listening.
