See you in the pit!

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. Launched in June 2004, each weekly show has examined another subgenre, band, movement, country, or theme in metal, punk, and heavy rock. Past episodes are available on-demand online from SiriusXM.com
In over 6 years, this is the first hour of radio that I did not flip away from even once. This. This is what Liquid Metal needs more of, what Faction should have been, the raw aggression that attracted me to the punk/metal scene in the first place. Awesome show!
