It’s that time again. Generally as a rule, music awards mean two things to heavy music fans – jack and shite’! But we do seem to take notice when it comes to the categories that mean something to us. With the grammys in the can, we can now focus on the upcoming Junos, the Canadian equivalent. Specifically, the Heavy Metal Album of the Year Award. So with that in mind, we’re going to forego a “Creature Feature”, and delve into our thoughts and picks from this year’s nominees. As well, we pay tribute to Gerri Miller, editor pf the great Metal Edge magazine. Which took us down a rabbit hole discussing our past experiences with the wonderful world of metal mags. In our “News, Views, and Tunes”, we crank tunage from Helstar, Depths Of Hatred, Caskets Open, Bikini Kill, Vile Creature, Unleash The Archers and introduce San Diego metallers Monarch in our “Indie Spotlight”. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
