Host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”) sews tight another calendar year of metal history lessons with a not-so-silent night of bombastic and impressive metal instrumentals produced during 2016. Set aside the screams, the lyrical abominations, and the shoutalongs to instead savor an hour of instrumental mastery and musical revelations from across the metal landscape courtesy of Megadeth, Gojira, Russian Circles, Earthside, Vipassi, Arcade Messiah, Aluk Todolo, and more! Thanks for another year—know your roots!
