I think the reason Aaron even asked me to do some shows here on Radio Gen1us in the first place is ’cause he was hoping I’d do a metal show. ‘Cause I am totally metal. Believe it. Anyway, now I’ve gone and done it and god help those of you who listen. Metal is not an easy genre for many people to listen to; it’s more often ugly than beautiful and it celebrates things we don’t normally like to think about, like aggression and malevolence. But it can also be very rewarding. In this mix, I try to ease you into it, but overall I’m not pulling many punches.
- Amon Amarth – Pursuit of Vikings
- Rebellion – Ynglinga Saga (To Odin We Call)
- Dissection – Retribution – Storm of the Light’s Bane
- Primordial – Gallows Hymn
- October Falls – Funeral Pyres
- Kroda – Gnarled Cudgels of Thunder
- Darkthrone – Paragon Belial
- Immortal – Within the Dark Mind
- Mastodon – Crusher Destroyer
- Gojira – The Heaviest Matter in the Universe
- High On Fire – Devilution
- Arsis – Wholly Night
- Carcass – Incarnated Solvent Abuse
- Decapitated – The Eye of Horus
- Kiuas – Warrior Soul
Also, scattered throughout the mix are snippets of audio from one of the most metal movies of all time. You have probably already guessed what the movie is just based on the title of the mix.

“Vikings are awesome!” I just about shat myself, dude.
Ok i’m behind on shows, but listened to this one as my first catch up…very nice. Takes me back to my roots. I used to read Robert E. Howard in 7th grade, and was openly mocked for the cover of the paperback Hour of teh Dragon, featuring Conan “in steel underwear.” No worries. I remember seeing Conan in the theatres…people cheering when they first saw Arny on the wheel…
Favorites were 1-6, with track 6 reminding me of a spritely nymph in chain mail darting amongst the misty boulders and trees…or something. Cool sound of heavy guitars and a flute-like tone. 9 and 10 were great, 11 I liked as it was like a mix of Ministry with Sabbath guitar tones…All new to me except Carcass. All good stuff.
