White Lion - Pride

Here it is! At long last, the episode that Mads and Rich have been itching to make - the Iron Maiden playlist episode! 1 song each will be picked by our intrepid metalheads, to produce 2 playlists of Maiden marvelousness!! Will Mads and Rich agree on any tracks? What will they pick? Whatever tracks are chosen, rest assured that you will have some great tunes to listen to from the last 50 years of the band! Up the Irons!!

In the wake of Blaze Bayley's triumphant set on the first night of Eddfest, we take a look at the album that started his solo career, Silicon Messiah. As usual, we take a deep dive into each track and discover which of the tracks are Rich and Mads favourites - will they pick the same song as the best track on the album? We also discuss Mads live gigs that he's attended, including the Copenhell mega festival! We find that Rich has been running around after his kids a lot and find out just how far his kids will go to have a conversation! All this and Mads has something up his sleeve for episode 12!

Join us as we go big game hunting with our mane attraction, Pride by White Lion! Continuing our hair metal tangent, we discuss the lion based puns used by the band, we find out a little bit about Vito Bratta and we pit Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee against Sting of the Bumblebee. Also, listen in amazement as Rich goes an entire episode without mentioning Maiden...or does he?!

In episode 9, Mads and Rich discover the joys of the second Extreme album, Pornograffiti. As usual, we take a deep dive into every track and actually uncover some hidden depths to an album that we have both enjoyed for years, prior to this episode. We discover that we have both fallen into a hair metal rabbit hole recently with our listening and we ponder just who did the best version of Flight of the Bumblebee and just where should Hole Hearted go?! All of this, plus, we get to see what Mads has in store for us in our tenth episode.

In a huge first for Full Metal Records, we welcome a guest. Coop from the wonderful Spoken Metal Show joins us for a chat about his album pick, Surgical Steel by Carcass. We get deep into the album itself as well as hearing Coop's reasons for picking the album and stories relating to the band themselves. We also hear about the recent Arcade Club meetup that Mads and Rich joined in with as well as getting into discussions about physical media and how to actually listen to an album properly. Join us for a great conversation about this particular album as well as metal itself. We also discover just what Rich has up his sleeve for us in episode 9!

In episode 7, Mads and Rich examine the album Inner Demons from Danish metal newcomers, Blodmåne. We take a look at a genuinely eclectic collection of metal songs, discuss Xmas presents, Judas Priest, Kittie and the soundtrack to the new T2 game.

Join the Full Metal crew as we journey through the 1995 album, Symbolic by Death, has Rich redeemed himself from his last pick? We also talk about the Vectrex mini, the Danish media view of Britain as an Orwellian state and just when do singers become vocalists?! All this and more, in episode 6!

Mads and Rich take to all three parts of the Boiling Sea as they embark on a pirate adventure, a heavy metal adventure and a sci-fi adventure! No, we haven't entered The Matrix, these are all the main components of our latest record, Advance and Vanquish by 3 Inches of Blood. Find out what we thought of the album and listen in awe and wonder as we seamlessly traverse such topics as a new Ozzy Osbourne documentary, the video game Brütal Legend and we make our usual mention of Iron Maiden. We also find out what Rich has chosen as the metal record for episode 6.

Join Mads and Rich for Episode 3 of Full Metal Records where we take our first, tentative steps away from the comfort zone of Iron Maiden and look at the four women from Brazil who make up Crypta. We discuss their album, Shades of Sorrow, and get into how this album makes us feel and how relateable it is as we delve into the band's thoughts and feelings here. We also choose the album for episode 4 and discuss Rich's feelings about getting into more death metal in the last couple of years.
