Amaze your metal mind, this week we skim the surface of progressive metal’s many iterations and cross-pollination with hard rock, classic metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal, metalcore, and more. Transcend time and space with Opeth, Rush, Void, Coroner, Dream Theater, Cynic, Control Denied, Enslaved, Deathspell Omega, Between the Buried and Me, Blood Incantation, and a multitude more. Prepare for heady metal—know your Roots!
This week’s show is dedicated to progressive metal guru JEFF WAGNER, who lost his house and possessions in an overnight fire in North Carolina last week. His “Home Is Gone” GoFundMe has more details, and Bazillion Points is passing along 100% of proceeds from Apple/Kobo/Nook/Kindle ebook sales of Jeff’s book MEAN DEVIATION: Four Decades of Progressive Metal, with cover art by Away of Voivod and foreword by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.
