It’s one of the most legendary stories in metal, in 1983 Metallica kick out their lead guitar player while in New York to record their debut album Kill ‘em All for being too much of a drunk. That guitarist then goes back to the west coast and immediately starts a new band called Megadeth, and the rest is history. Megadeth have gone on to become one of, and at times, the biggest metal bands in the world. With the release of their 14th studio album Super Collider Dave Mustaine joins us to re-live some history and lay down the details on the new album.

Speaking of Metallica, since the Orion Music + More Festival is happening this weekend in Detroit we have a live Power Set from Metallica’s 1993 box set Live Sh** Binge & Purge. 

Then this hasn’t been the greatest year for keeping our metal heroes alive and one of the saddest stories is that of Deftones bassist Chi Cheng who passed away almost 5 years after a car accident that left him in a coma. This week we go In The Vault with Chi talking to MTV about Nu-Metal in 2001.

This week’s Then & Now comes from a thrash metal band that inspired modern thrash, a band that was one of the biggest bands of German thrash metal. Along with Kreator the band Sodom put that scene on the map. Sodom is back with a new album and we’ll play a new song along with a classic.

Also this week’s Heavy Metal Movie and Soundtrack Recommendation comes from a movie based on a video game. Mortal Kombat wasn’t the worst movie of it’s genre ever made but we can’t exactly say it was good either. The soundtrack on the other hand was a lesson in mid 90′s industrial and extreme metal.

All this plus music from Accept, DIO, Michael Schenker, Sepultura, Infectious Grooves and more. It’s 3 hours of classic metal this and every week inside Hangar 19.
