Ragman in In Flames, Jesper Stronbland, Marco Aro, Podcasts, The Resistance, Udo Dirkschneider, classic rock, heavy metal, retro

With this many Norsemen in this band, it's an umlaut festival up in this pieceWhere did metal come from? Think back and try to figure out when this whole thing started. There are vicious cycles and bastardizations that music always goes through, but where did it all come from? Join Genghis and Ragman as they discuss where the roots of metal came from. And which is hotter, the classics or the retro movement? Next, the boys cornered The Resistance vocalist Marco Aro for a one on one who discusses how he hooked up with Jesper Strombland (In Flames) and created their debut record Scars.

The amazing Udo Dirkschneider has been active in the biz as long as I've been alive. Holy shit.The BONUS PLAN: The boys tackle the topic of charity in metal. Is it necessary, or just a ploy to sell more CD’s? And one of metal's elder statesmen, Udo Dirkschneider, checks in from the road to talk about his band’s latest release Steelhammer. It's another metal extravaganza from TRTR!
