Riffs Across Generations
Welcome to RIFFS ACROSS GENERATIONS. I am your host, Andrew. I have been metal since the day is long. Tracing back to the 80’s with tape trading, editing a fanzine (TIN BEAN FANZINE) and years as the growler for a Western Massachusetts death metal band (CLOT) I have seen the trends and sounds come and go. Joining me is our co-host Eli. I am an aspiring guitar wizard who loves to mess with all types of gear I am a metal head to the core. i was Born after the glory days of metal, but am forging ahead and creating the next generation of head banging to be louder and more brutal than ever. We cover the music from old to new, from Nuclear Assault to Cattle Decapitation and everything in between. Come on the journey with us and submerge yourself in the METAL JOURNEY ACROSS GENERATIONS!
