Ah! The '80s! When rock ruled the radio and the music video came of age. And while Thrash was moshing away in sweaty clubs and Death Metal was just a whisper, one genre ruled the airwaves and the TV screens. Hair Metal. Sleaze Rock. Glam. Or whatever you want to call it, it was everywhere. We here at Worship Metal would be utterly remiss if we didn't cover this monster of a sub-genre that brought so many into the metal fold. Chris, Blake and Si revisit a steamy '80s nightclub to relive the DJ playlist that defined the decade. Whether you were a Thrasher or a Heavy Metaller or a student Goth this will be a walk back down memory lane. This.... This is genuinely a good one! We think Si had his best day....

Thrash! Born in the 80s, had a "let's not talk about it" in the 90s and then in the early 2000s came back with a vengeance. Ish. The middle-aged man of the metal scene was confused by the young kids with their -core and their nu- but shook its moshing stick and said "It was better in my day!" and then proceeded to show everyone why that was true. We've spoken about Thrash more than any other genre but this episode is ONLY to celebrate the 21st Century re-incarnation and the bands and tracks that brought the greatest of all metal genres (citation needed) back to the pits. THRASH!

Doom.... The sludgy, down-tuned and most glacial of all metal offerings, Doom is one of those genres that never gets played at weddings or the fresh veg aisle of your local Tesco. And we disagree with that. Here at The Worship Metal Podcast, Chris Blake and Si will take you on a doomy journey through everything about this niche musical summoning. And to be honest we had an one of the most emotional journeys ever in a podcast! Even if you don't think you can get along with Doom, well ... This is a good one...

So you think you're a metalhead, but all you like is Iron Maiden, Metallica and all the well known stuff. Nothing wrong with that. You are a Level One Metalhead. Time to level up. Chris, Blake and Si will guide you through the world of metal to focus in on some tracks from bands you may not have heard of that totally should appeal to you! Like X ? Try Y ! We have some great suggestions for you to expand your listening. And oh yes... This WILL be a series. Level Two metalheads next time!

We are back! Yes after a little bit of a hiatus we are back with a SMASHING new season! This may be the best one we have done yet (*Citation Needed). Chris, Blake and Si kick things off with a properly demographic friendly topic - the best of UK THRASH! That's right: The Thrash by Royal Appointment. The Thrash of a Britain that's so great we needed to remind you all of it in the name of the country! What What! Huzzah and three pips for the Thrash!

Ah the 80s! Home of some the best metal ever scratched onto vinyl. Chris still lives there. But amongst the Thrash and the Power Ballads and the Rock Operas what WAS the Most 80s Metal that ever 80s'd? We take a look at the songs that truly define the decade - and our memories - from these retro years. Will there be Thrash? Of course! Will there be massive vocals? You bet. Will there be nostalgia? More than you could fit in a Lamborghini in a shoulder-pad jacket at sunset filled with girls whose hair is larger than some planetary objects. Bring on the 80s!

As a metalhead this may be the most important podcast you've ever listened to! Ever been at a dinner party where Cattle Decapitation has not gone down well? Ever brought a date home to woo them with the charms of Exodus and you're suddenly alone again ? Well we are here to fix that! With our (mostly) willing test subject - Dawn - we will try to win her over with the best metal tracks to convert a non-metal head into a true believer. You'll go from the black sheep of the social group to the golden goat in no time after this! You can thank us later

We here at Worship Metal love a good cover! A metal band playing the most wildly different song imaginable is like ambrosia to our ears. Because, let's face it - everyone loves a sing-a-long - especially us!! So here are our choices for the best metal covers ever recorded by some of the greatest metal bands. Annnnnddddddd... Well there is a VERY special treat at the end. Stay tuned and sing-a-long-a-worship-metal!
