The line-up is quite incredible featuring Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax and more! “I’m looking forward to it, it’s going to be great,” Downing says with excitement. “It’s going to be the greatest extravaganza in heavy metal history! It’s a big soccer stadium in Birmingham (Villa Park). The guys in Black Sabbath are big Aston Villa fans, and they always have been. So it’s great that heavy metal is coming home and we’re all gonna be there. Just about everybody. Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, you name it. So it’s going to be a great get-together and I’m looking forward to playing some songs. I know the tickets are really expensive, but they sold out really quickly. I was hoping it would be a second show. It would be great if Sharon could take this to at least New York or LA. Or Berlin, somewhere in Europe. That would be fantastic, but I guess it’s going to be live streamed. I’m not too sure, but hopefully.” BraveWords: So who approached you and when was the last time we actually had any any interaction with Ozzy and or Sharon? Downing: “The last time was when Judas Priest did the Ozzfest, so not that long ago. All the guys in Black Sabbath are lovely people. I’m not just saying that we really have a good time together. But I’m very much looking forward to doing this one. It’s gonna be very very special for sure. The guy from Live Nation called me, and I’m talking to Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) who has a big part in putting this together. Tom is a lovely guy. So I’m talking to him about songs and rehearsals and stuff like that. So it’s going to be cool, I’m ready. Let’s go.” BraveWords: You’ve had such an incredible career, it must be mind blowing to be part of this incredible event. Downing: “It’s going to be fab.

So kudos to Canuck thrash legends Sacrifice in creating a brand new record (appropriately titled Volume Six) and literally beating the hell out of fans since they launched their career in 1983. “Listen man, seven years ago in 2017,” longtime drummer Gus Pynn begins, “we had some material that was blowing our minds. It was like ‘what the fuck?’ They’re gonna stand up and take notice. Was I convinced back then until we went into the studio in 2022 and laid it down? And then we spent all last year, piecing it together, putting it all together and finally getting at this point in 2024. Production, mastering and literally sitting on the album since last June. That’s how long I’ve listened to this album. It was excruciating. I was thinking what are the people going to think? I just wanted to put out the record. I honestly thought at that point that it was the best thing that we’ve ever done. And I’m not fucking shitting you. That’s because I thought the songwriting was so good. “I was watching Rob (frontman Urbinati) work on the lyrics and of course vocally and I was floored then,” the drummer adds. “All the stuff was given to me in demo form and I fell in love with it. Bottom line, I figured if it’s that good and I love it… I knew when we did The Ones I Condemn, I felt the most comfortable since Soldiers Of Misfortune. But I was terrified. I was afraid that fans might think that I’ve lost a step or two from soldiers. You always have that fear. 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

BraveWords: Tell me about the challenges of trying to make this record, not sound like a Slayer record. And how many times did you have to rewrite things? "I didn't rewrite anything based on that, King explains. Number one, I think it's going to sound like a Slayer record. I mean, I wrote maybe 95% of the last Slayer record. I mean, if you were expecting something that didn't sound like a Slayer record, I could've told you from day one you're not going to be happy. I don't try to make it sound like that, I'd rather have it not sound like that, but I have a distinct style, and that's not going to go away." 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

#bravewords #bravewordsrecords #metal #heavymetal #hardrock #wheremetallives #80smetal #80srock #melodicrock #classicmetal #bravewordsradio #metalradio #kingdiamond King Diamond's legendary guitarist Andy LaRocque and bassist Pontus Egberg spoke to BraveWords for a Streaming For Vengeance chat and talked about their current tour and new music which is expected to completed this spring (2025) and will be released shortly after their European summer festival tour in 2025. King Diamond has never performed in front of so many people in their entire career, and there was a point when things looked bleak. But those days are long gone. “Yeah, I mean, just follow the flow,” Egberg tells BraveWords in an excerpt from a Streaming For Vengeance chat which airs tomorrow (Thursday, November 13th) at 9AM EST. “When we came over here, the first tour back in ‘86, some of the places we played back then were just small local bars and clubs, actually. There were a few of those, you know, and then it actually has been growing for all those years, except for the very early, I believe 2000s? It was not very big at all. We played some weird places back then too, and actually after. I would say in 2012, after King had his surgery and everything, we started to play a lot of festivals. The whole thing with King Diamond just got a lot bigger since then. It was about 10 to 12 years back that it has been growing quite a bit. Yeah, so I’m amazed by that. We can only think our fans for that. We can only be grateful.” 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

WOLFGANG ROTT Talks 35 Years Of Leading CMM - “I Was A Tour Manager When There Was No Cell Phones So You Had Coins In Your Pocket If You Had To Make A Phone Call!” CMM = Communication, m, Marketing. For 35 years Wolfgang Rott and his German-based CMM team have working with the true heavyweights in heavy metal, guiding their careers and building their brands around the world. And we are talking some big names like Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickinson, Savatage/TSO, Motörhead, Alice Cooper and countless others, along with doing PR/Marketing for the biggest festivals in the world like the Wacken Open Air, the ROCKHARZ Open Air and spearheading 70000 Tons Of Metal, the ultimate heavy metal cruise! But that just scratches the surface. His career dates back decades when he first was the road manager for Joe Cocker in the early ‘80s. You name the band, Wolfgang Rott has no doubt worked with them! Wolfgang on CMM’s philosophy: “The traditional distinction between record labels, publishers, management, agents, tour managers and merch companies hardly exists anymore. This has led to a situation in which young artists often find themselves looking for people with the patience and the means to allow them to develop their talents. Instead, reality television casting formats and competitive, soap opera-style talent shows have risen as questionable ready-made substitutes. The number of artists with true character has been sinking dramatically as a result of this. Unique talent not immediately suited for the mainstream barely stands a chance on the market these days. What we’re trying to do is to go against this downward trend.” BraveWords also has a long history with CMM and it was honour to chat with Wolfgang and join him celebrating 35 glorious years of working with our idols in the hard rock/metal world. 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

#bravewords #bravewordsrecords #metal #heavymetal #hardrock #wheremetallives #80smetal #80srock #melodicrock #classicmetal #bravewordsradio #metalradio #flotsamandjetsam Like a fine wine, Flotsam And Jetsam just get better with age having released their15th studio album, I Am The Weapon, to great acclaim around the world. Out via AFM Records, the album, that more than deserves its self-confident title, not only takes up seamlessly where its two outstanding predecessors The End Of Chaos (2019) and Blood In The Water (2021) left off, but even doubles down on all expectations. I Am The Weapon was composed and produced by the whole band and the eleven new songs were recorded at SonicPhish Productions, Gnome Lord Studios, Wayne Manor Studios, and Seventh Spike Studios. The cover artwork was again created by Andy Pilkington. “It feels pretty good to do another release,” original guitarist Michel Gilbert BraveWords on Streaming For Vengeance. “We were kind of on the fence if it was going to be on par with Blood On The Water. When we finally let everyone hear the album, everyone kind of came to the same consensus. I’m proud of the guys and what we’ve done with it. And I’m very grateful to still be relevant in this business almost 40 years. The old guy still has some tank in the gas, I guess. We’re lucky, we just keep going and going and going and there’s no end in site. You see a lot of bands these days who are our age and a lot of them are hanging it up. What were worried about is who is the new blood that’s coming in who’s gonna take the place. Who’s going to be the next Metallica? And I don’t know the answer to that. Will that ever happen again? Like I said, we are very fortunate to be still doing it, and people are still listening to it.” BraveWords: When we were hanging out at Summer Breeze Brazil, I asked you a bizarre business question. Let’s set the record straight. You said that over time you’ve lost money over your name, Flotsam And Jetsam. The “And” sign “versus the “&” sign. When it comes to contracts it’s been a big problem. Gilbert: “I can’t tell you how much money that cost me. Ever heard of Sound Exchange? Our whole repertoire, every song I upload, I have to do it twice with the ‘And’ sign and the ‘&’ sign. It’s been a pain in the ass.” BraveWords: So initially, who thought of the correct writing of the name, Gilbert: “That’s (Jason) Newsted. He still owns the rights to it.” BraveWords: So he owes you the money then (laughing)! Gilbert: “Yeah, he owes me a lot of money.” BraveWords: Ever talk to him about it? Gilbert: “No, we really don’t talk about flats and stuff, it’s always about his projects and where is that. He seems to be moving around quite a bit. And his paintings as well. They are awesome, and super unique.” www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

"Timescape" contains completely original new tracks and some of Chris Slade's favourite covers. "Metal" Tim Henderson from BraveWords Records, "The legendary Chris Slade continues to leave us thunderstruck as he reinvents the rock world with a unique proggy orchestral vision of intense magnitude. To put it simply, the drummer still means business nearly 60 years into his remarkable music career." THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE album Timescape can be ordered at: https://smarturl.it/ChrisSladeTimeline BraveWords had the honour to speak to legendary drummer Chris Slade this week for a Streaming For Vengeance. Chris Slade launched the band, The Chris Slade Timeline, in 2012 to mark 50-plus years as a professional rock drummer, working with the likes of Tom Jones, Manfred Mann's Earthband, Gary Moore, Gary Numan, Denny Laine, Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, David Gilmour, Uriah Heep, Asia and of course AC/DC. In an excerpt from the interview, BraveWords asked if there was ever a gig that he regreted turning down. “Yes. Elvis Presley. ‘Sorry Elvis I’m too busy.’ He asked me to play drums with him for one month originally in Las Vegas. And Gordon Mills (Tom Jones’ manager, who incidentally co-wrote signature song "It's Not Unusual") said to me, ‘Where is your Welchness. What are you doing?’ In the end, Gordon went to Col Tom Parker and said ‘You can’t steal our drummer.’ I would’ve loved to of done that. I said to Tom, ‘Look, you are great, what about having the drummer that played with you and with Elvis Presley!’ Because they were mates, they were friends and until Elvis died they were friends. And it was a mutual admiration society because Tom grew up with Elvis right from the start. I sort of came in halfway through. When I met Elvis, and I met him a few times. He gave a party for us and I have a picture of Elvis on one side and Tom Jones on the other. I call it ‘Who’s that with Slade.’” 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

#bravewords #bravewordsrecords #metal #heavymetal #hardrock #wheremetallives #80smetal #80srock #melodicrock #classicmetal #bravewordsradio #metalradio MEXICAN APE-LORD's Jon Hardy - "Everyone Hates The Sound Of Their Voice” Following the sad demise of the highly underrated Meliah Rage, guitarist/songwriter Anthony Nichols and The Bags vocalist/bassist Jon Hardy teamed up with drummer Steve Fry and lead guitarist Dan Dykes to form Mexican Ape-Lord, who just released their third full-length album, Blunt Instrument, available via Unable Music Group’s new label imprint, 10-31 Records here. Friends since high school, Nichols and Hardy found success in different branches of the Boston rock scene in the late eighties. After signing to Epic Records in 1988, Meliah Rage went on to release nine albums and built a loyal following over the course of numerous international tours. The Bags won the Boston Rock ’n’ Roll Rumble in 1989, released six albums, and had their song “Cavemen Rejoice” featured on the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero. Just days after completing work on their debut, The Late Heavy Bombardment (2014), Nichols suffered a brutal wrist injury and was told he would never play guitar again. After multiple surgeries and years of rehab he returned to writing music and gradually worked his way back into top form. That material became the basis for Mexican Ape-Lord’s second album, Survival Cannibalism (2020). In 2022 the band released Burn Pit, a four song EP exploring some classic Mexican Ape-Lord themes: inner demons, dangerous work, ritualistic bloodshed, and apex predators. “We weren’t about to stop making music just because the world was coming to an end,” says Nichols. And here we stand, staring at a “Blunt Instrument”, and album that sees two worlds collide, Nichols thrashy roots and Hardy’s hardcore punkiness. So how does it work? How do you work with such a masterful guitarist that can tackle any riff, creating a moody mosaic of heaviness. “With each record he’s trying to put forward a mix of moods, tempos,” Hardy tells BraveWords on Streaming For Vengeance. “There are some major chords on this record, which is a little bit unusual for the style of music. It always blows me away when I get new stuff from Tony. A lot of it would just stand up as instrumental tracks. Not to mention the fact that our lead guitar player (Dan Dykes) and drummer (Steve Fry) are just amazing musicians as well. Often times I feel like - and it’s not like I lack confidence as a songwriter - but I thought if I was given the option to just get out of the way, I probably would. Let’s just let it be an instrumental. This is so great. I want to hear every detail of the drums. I don’t wanna sing over that. But that’s my job, so I’ll just suck it up.” BraveWords: I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard it explained like that. ‘Why ruin a song with my voice’? Hardy: “Yeah, exactly. You get tired of hearing your own voice. Everyone hates the sound of their voice.” BraveWords: Rob Halford for example is pretty vocal about that when you read his books. Hardy: “I think it’s almost universal. They say that the way you hear your voice is different. So everyone feels that they have this deep, booming voice. But when you hear a recording of your voice it’s like whoa! That’s not me.” BraveWords: With you coming from a punk and hardcore background, how did you approach the singing style when Tony presented all these more heavy metal ideas. Hardy: “I actually asked Tony for some advice about that, and that was part of my hesitation of joining the band. I know how to be in a punk band, but I’ve never been a singer in a metal band before. You know, that’s a bit tough. And Tony said, 'Dude you’re an outsider, just embrace it. Just be an outsider.' There’s nothing more rock than that. No matter how big you become in this world, if you like this type of music brother you are a bit of an outsider. I've always had this experience of growing up and kind of being an outsider. Not quite dead centre or mainstream with our musical tastes. 'Yeah I can play the role of an outsider.'” Mexican Ape-Lord singer bassist Jon Hardy’s chat with BraveWords’ Streaming For Vengeance air tomorrow (Saturday, June 6th) at 3:33 PM EST. 25 years and counting, BraveWords wears their metal heart loudly on their sleeve, as they celebrate the greatest genre of music with the most dedicated and passionate fans on the planet! www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

BraveWords caught up with Black Sabbath bass legend Geezer Butler this past week and spoke about the paperback edition of his autobiography, Into The Void: From Birth To Black Sabbath-And Beyond, that is now available. During the conversation he addressed the possibilities of one final reunion show with all the original members of Black Sabbath. But let’s take a few steps back. Keep in mind, drummer Bill Ward wasn’t part of the band’s final tour, being replaced by Tommy Clufetos, which had some fans a bit heartbroken. As Butler explains, he still has no idea why Bill Ward was fired during the 13 recording sessions with Rick Rubin. In the late ’60s, prior to joining Black Sabbath, Geezer Butler played rhythm guitar in the The Rare Breed. Tony Iommi didn’t want another guitar player, so Butler moved to bass. Hence him having a close relationship with Bill Ward. www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords

There's an enormous amount of stuff going on, as you know, behind the scenes, as a record is made. And so, with just a few days away as we're talking now, for the Invincible Shield to release worldwide, after a few songs have been sent out, and the response has been mind blowing. We are so honoured and grateful to get the positive feedback. It's a whole mixture of emotions, it's probably different to what I've ever felt before with this band, particularly on the back of Firepower which was really a strong statement. There's something happening on this album, Tim, I don't know what it is, but there's some thing happening on this record collectively, in the album sense. The way the songs have been constructed, and the particular the sequencing has just put this record in an extraordinary place and you know let's not overthink it let's just be happy and joyful and grateful for this great moment in metal for Priest.” www.BraveWords.com Socials and more - www.Linktr.ee/Bravewords
