With both feet slogging through heavy ancient tar but reaching for the cosmos, bands like Inter Arma, Schammasch, Thou, North, Sumac, Almyrkvi, and Bölzer are converging from across the metal universe to craft a humongous, titanic new sonic beast. Roots brings you on a galactic tour of this newly emerging thick, heavy sludge metal. Know your Roots!
Once your cranium is cracked open wide by this week’s show, fill the void with metal history and expertise with some highly acclaimed reading from Bazillion Points.

Roots is Sound of the Beast author 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. The show is available on-demand online from SiriusXM.com.
I really enjoyed this show.
Sludge and Doom are my favorites–Elder, earthless, monolord, sumac. Loved this show! Keep it up
Not sure if you have done one in the past but a show on metalcore would awesome. From crossover thrash bands in the 80s to bands like hatebreed, iron reagan, and darkest hour now.
