Tales from the Crystal Mountain

Back at Hells Headbangers to ease drop on J Dawg interviewing Adam Schnellenbach from the YouTube channel Vital Vinyl Vlog. While we wait for Adam to call J Dawg gives the latest Hells Update and tour of the shop, showing off some of his latest Vinyl grabs. Other conversations break lose and then Adam calls in to save the day. In total half ass fashion I record the Death metal spirited interview while we get a glimpse of J Dawg's office. If nothing else this a a half assed HELLCAST!

Collector Alexis Morrow has a few titles in her pursuit to find and restore vintage flyers, posters, etc. We take a look at Milwaukee Metal Fest, Finnish Death Metal, Relapse Records and a lot more. Tommy G from Redefining Darkness completes the roundtable trio as we gasp at these relics. Tap your eyes and ears into this episode of HELLCAST!

Deeper in the South to the Florida Death Metal scene Intoxicated is among the many bands that were not in the spotlight. Intoxicated frontman Erik Payne informs the band's history while running into Chuck Shuldiner, Trevor Perez and the usual suspects from the classic death metal era. Somewhere we try to figure out what it means to be an elitist fan and Tommy G joins in, redefining darkness on this episode of HELLCAST!

Suited up in denim it's time make some renovations to the patches and help those young bucks wondering how to make a "battle vest". Cool Scheisse was sent so we take a dive into some Death metal relics, Hellcast stickers, T-shirts, etc. Of course you were still wondering who the contestants were for the 'Fastest and sickest Death metal bands, so find out who we consider and play this episode of HELLCAST!

The internet is asking how to make a battle vest and that's stupid, so let Don of the Dead explain how to really make a vest. Along the way we get into Running Wild abandoning satanic lyrics, carrying the torch of a band through the years, being extreme in a modern world and more. There is a point we listen to 'Red is the color of Ripping Death' the title track of the new NunSlaughter album. Press play is how you can make it through this episode of HELLCAST!

Naturally collectors are obsessive so there are plenty of rantings we can spout about Vinyl, CDs and even shirts. At least that's the obsessive fan Eddie Satan is in what could be a segment called metal therapy. Cool shi-stuff was sent from fans so we take a listen in another 6 x 9 seconds music clips. 8 years ago we had the struggles of young man named Manny with his faith and heavy metal on the show and you might remember with us to make this episode of HELLCAST!

It's a conversation that can go many places, the fastest, sickest and heaviest metal bands. What defines fast, sick or heavy? Is speed as fast drum beat or guitar riff? So many ways to analyze and analyze it we do on this episode of HELLCAST!

J Dawg used to take a lot of photos at shows in the 2000s and some have been used in Hells Headbangers reissues like Mortician and Exhumed. So we finally get to take a look into his personal photo album. As you should follow Reaper Metal Productions on social media, perhaps like J Dawg you do not, so we do a catch up of the latest questions that only nerds like Reaper would ask i.e, "Are 2 on 1 CDs pointless?" It is said to be 4 9 seconds this time but I think it really is 1 9 seconds plus the conversation which dropped a new J Dawg 1 liner, the namesake of this episode, if you're too dumb to like metal then you are too smart to like HELLCAST.

It's the Halloween season so this week's records on the wrong speed are horror movie soundtracks. That is about as seasonal as the episode gets as we consult the most exquisite taste in metal METAL ARCHIVES random band profile for a reaction to 5 of it's results. Album Wars, overlooked bands and a few other conversations ensue the Face of Death to HELLCAST!

J Dawg is back for the attack and has some HH stories to warm his welcome. From there we catch up on Florida Death Metal, the cool stuff fans have sent us. Japanese metal bands 7 inches on the wrong speed! Will they pick chipmunks or heavy doom? 7 inches can either be 33 RPM or 45 RPM so finally we can potentially hear the bands too fast. Fast kill, Metalucifer, Gorgon and Butcher ABC.  Support the content, hear your name on HELLCAST, gain early access to episodes, plus more... check out the Reaper Metal Fan Club on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reapermetalproductions
