Metal enjoys some of most inhuman drummers ever created, and a select few hammer-handed double threats further defy the laws of nature by singing lead vocals in their bands while pounding the skins. Join host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”/Bazillion Points) for a salute to versatile powerhouses like Dan Beehler of Exciter, King Fowley of Deceased, Mike Browning of Nocturnus/Morbid Angel, Fenriz of Darkthrone, and others. Know your Roots!

Stumbled across this in a google search and I just want to say thank you very much, we appreciate the support more than you could ever imagine!!!
Nice photo of the late Barry Stern of Zoetrope, still have both records on LP! You may not know this but Barry passed away in the late 90’s, got to meet him when he was playing with Trouble and they were touring with Savatage on the Gutter Ballet tour! Good times!
Does Fenriz count since he actually never sang and played live? I mean, that would be the definition and the coolness of a singing drummer- singing WHILE playing drums….right?
Who was Ian talking to this week when they mentioned Manticore? I’m in the band and my wife caught it towards the end and I’d like to know who we should thank for the shout out!
