This week on Heavy Metal Tones – Episode 275, we unleash the ferocity of Destruction Of The Healer and their brand-new album A Universe Bereaved

This isn’t doom — this is full-throttle extreme metal. Savage riffs, relentless drums, and a dark, apocalyptic atmosphere that hits like a meteor strike. This record is intense, aggressive, and absolutely uncompromising, and we’re diving deep into the tones, the songwriting, and where this beast of an album sits in the modern underground.

I’ll also be spinning the first single “Beastial Hunger”, so prepare yourself for a taste of the chaos.

If your metal is fast, brutal, and unrelenting… this episode is essential listening.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones Episode 274, we go fully subterranean with Aussie riff burrowers Gopher and their debut album Tunnel Buddies.

Legend has it the band was founded by two historically questionable heroes, Ned Smelly and Ernie Bingo, after a very long boat trip with the First Fleet. While the rest of the passengers were busy inventing Australia, these two were apparently below deck inventing fuzz tone and arguing about snacks. History may not confirm this… but the riffs absolutely do.

This album digs deep into groove, chaos, and pure backyard-mosh energy. It’s loud, it’s ridiculous, and it sounds like someone plugged a distortion pedal into a shovel and said, “Yeah, that’ll do.”

I’ll also be spinning two standout singles from the record: the gloriously deranged Kupa- Kupa Mamam and the sky-high party anthem The Party In The Sky. Because even tunnel dwellers need a rooftop celebration.

Grab your hard hat and a cold one — this week we’re going underground, and the party started in 1788.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we descend into the crushing, riff-soaked depths of doom with Episode 273, shining the spotlight on the debut album from doom supergroup With The Dead. Formed from some of the heaviest minds in the genre, this record is a relentless slab of distortion, groove and apocalyptic atmosphere that hits with the weight only true doom can deliver.

We dig into what makes this first album so powerful, how it captures the spirit of classic doom while pushing the sound into darker territory, and why it still stands as a modern cornerstone of the genre.

If this episode leaves you hungry for more slow, heavy and monolithic sounds, make sure you head back to Show #56, where I take a deeper dive into the world of Doom Metal and its foundations.

Turn it up, slow it down, and let the riffs consume you.
