JUDAS PRIEST GOES FULL METAL! What? You thought Priest was always metal? Well, you have another think coming. For the first week of “The Merry Month Of Metal” we have returning guest Mhyk Monroe to guide us through the subtle distinctions between speed metal and hair metal and black metal. How could a new drummer make such a big difference on the album? How could the bass make so little difference? Do synths belong in metal at all? Which of the Eagles appeared on the “Heavy Metal” soundtrack? Were people really surprised when Halford came out of the closet? Is there more overlap between metalheads and comic book nerds or horror movie fans? Strap on your S&M gear, hop on your flaming motorcycle, and join us as we poder these questions and more on this week’s Detours and Outliers.
