Bloody Roots is Sound of the Beast author (and Bazillion Points publisher) Ian Christe’s heavy metal history show on Sirius XM Liquid Metal channel 40. Since June 2004, each weekly show has examined another subgenre, band, movement, country, or theme in metal, punk, and heavy rock. The show is available on-demand online from SiriusXM.com.
I caught this on Tuesday. Great show! I’ve never been big into the super-growly, nigh-unintelligible death metal music. However, I listened to as much of this show as I could and came away with a new appreciation for the genre and some new bands to start listening to!
