One of our final livestreams of 2023, we will talk about our top shows of 2023, successful bands who continued without the original vocalist, and more.

Today we go live with Quinn Lukas, guitar player for the band Icarus Witch.

We sat down with the guys from Dark Remedy recently. In this clip they talk about cancel culture and their influences.

We recently spoke to Emma Boster, lead vocalist of the band Dying Wish and she is a big fan of NBA basketball.

Great conversation with Roger LeBlanc of G.U.S.H. a self-described 90's era sounding grunge band.

We asked the question - should well established bands continue performing without their original lead vocalist? Should they? What do you think? ** LISTEN TO THE BRUTAL PLANET MEDIA w/ TRACKS BY THIS BAND ON SPOTIFY :: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5twJoZYyOCum1vGUPjEHRO?si=CkXAI041QpKizvldZv6Omg

After Metallica released their infamous black album record labels decided they had a formula and started signing underground thrash bands and producing mainstream albums with them. I misspoke on Anthrax "The Sound of White Noise" though... that record came out in 1993 even though it was recorded in 1992.

One of our friends said every Megadeth album is a response to a Metallica album so we did a breakdown... of their most important albums anyway.

Legendary Seattle hardcore band Botch did a reunion tour in 2023. I caught one of the LA shows and we talk about it here.

We talked to the guys from Dark Remedy on our livestream. In this clip they talk about cancel culture and their influences.

Today we go live with Kirk Windstein of Crowbar, Down & Eyeam.

It's time for the top 10 of 2023!

Today we go live to discuss this week in metal.

When it comes to thrash metal there are the four, the big four. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax make up the fathers of thrash metal. When it comes to bass players there is one that stands out above the others, David Ellefson of Megadeth. His bass licks are essential in Megadeth classics like “Peace Sells” and “Symphony of Destruction.” David just released his third book called "More Life With Deth". If that weren’t enough he also released a solo album called "Sleeping Giants". Both releases highlight his passion for music and life. Brutal Planet Magazine caught up with David and his partner Thom Hazaert back in August of 2019. We talked about a number of different subjects including growing up in Minnesota, Dave Mustaine, and of course his book and album.

Today we go live with Phil Donay of German metalcore band Mavis.

Today we go live with Murice White of chaotic Atlanta hardcore band "Apostle"

Pete Rizzi of the band Who On Earth joined us last minute to discuss important stuff like how every Megadeth album seems like a response to a Metallica album and how 1992 (post Metallica black album) was the year that thrash metal went mainstream... you know because the labels saw a formula they were trying to cash in on? ** LISTEN TO THE BRUTAL PLANET MEDIA PLAYLIST :: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5twJoZYyOCum1vGUPjEHRO?si=CkXAI041QpKizvldZv6Omg
