As our weekly campaign to chronicle the history of heavy metal continues, host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”/Bazillion Points Books) examines the twenty-year legacy of Morbid Angel’s breakthrough Covenant album, the pioneering first-ever major label death metal record. Along with similarly extreme 1993 major label music by Napalm Death and Carcass, this week’s show captures alternate takes and cover versions by Divine Rapture, Throneaeon, Behemoth, Obscura, and more! The stage was set for world domination, but was the world ready for death metal in 1993? Know your Roots!
