Today's Instrumental Track is Remarkably Human by Nick Johnston which is the title track off of his 2016 album. Just discovered this on YouTube a little while ago and it's beautiful. I'm going to have to check him out more. He's contributed on a lot tracks from other bands I've listened to but I hadn't any of his solo stuff.
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - No Remorse by Diamond Head (Metallica Cover)
Well this is just fantastic! Metallica was very influenced by Diamond Head and covered many of their songs early on, most notably Am I Evil? which was featured on Metallica's 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All. Well now it's time for Diamond Head to return the favor. Here, Diamond Head covers an absolute thrash gem by Metallica, No Remorse, off of that same album.

Scott Metal Track of the Day - Sudden Death by Mr. Bungle
Today's Metal Track is "brand new" music from Mr. Bungle but it sounds like straight up 80s thrash metal. That's because it is a re-recording of their 1986 demo album. Mr. Bungle was Mike Patton's first band before he joined Faith No More. Sudden Death is the closing track off of their latest album, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo, which was released October 30. This album features Scott Ian of Anthrax on guitar and Dave Lombardo, formerly of Slayer, on drums.
