This week on Heavy Metal Tones (Episode 236), we dive into the wild, virtuosic world of The Aristocrats. Known for their boundary-pushing fusion of rock, metal, and jazz, the band takes us on a playful yet masterful ride with their instrumental storytelling. At the heart of the journey? One duck’s epic adventure — from the frozen reaches of Antarctica all the way to the bustling streets of New York. Expect jaw-dropping musicianship, quirky twists, and that unmistakable Aristocrats humour woven into their sonic voyage.

Here is as I promised the complete story of DUCK it s a trip an half and no mistake.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, I’m joined by Hansi Hilmer from Boise, Idaho’s dark and heavy maestros Buried Faith. We dig into the band’s journey, the making of their crushing new album, and the driving forces behind their unrelenting sound. I first reviewed this record back in Episode 213, but now we go deeper with Hansi’s own insights. The episode opens with a track he personally chose, and closes with one of my favourites from the album — two powerful cuts framing an in-depth conversation about life in heavy music.

In this bonus blast of Heavy Metal Tones, I dive into the furious debut from Antagonizor — Heavy Metal Bootlicker. Gritty, raw, and snarling with intent, this first recording smashes together the heaviness of classic metal with the snotty, chaotic energy of street punk. Think the driving riffs of Motörhead colliding with the spit and venom of GBH and The Exploited.

And as a special treat, you’ll hear "Ammunition" — one of the record’s fiercest cuts — right here in the episode.

This is crossover with teeth. Don't miss it.

As promised here is the Spotify link but its available anywhere.
