In the minds of fans and outsiders alike, abrasive heavy metal is often seen as shut off from the rest of all music. Nothing could be further from the truth, as host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”/Bazillion Points Books) proves this week with a stunning playlist of metal overlords including Exodus, Fear Factory, Ghost, Type O Negative, In Flames, Coroner, Wino, Judas Priest, Faith No More and many others admiring, adjusting, and tearing apart songs made popular by Elton John, the Police, Gary Numan, Townes van Zandt, R.E.M., Justin Timberlake, and of course the Beatles. Know your Roots!
