Just dropped our deep dive into Ozzy’s most underrated album: No Rest for the Wicked. This 1988 beast gave us Zakk Wylde’s career-launching debut, the ultimate televangelist revenge anthem “Miracle Man,” and some of the most vicious guitar work of the decade. www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/when-metal...

Eve’s Plum’s Envy is a 1993 snapshot of alt-rock when bands tried everything at once and sometimes nailed it. NYC-born with Colleen Fitzpatrick on vocals pre–Vitamin C, the album swings from shoegaze to pop hooks to punk snap. #90sRock #NYCScene #Shoegaze www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/what-if-de...

Is Candy Harlots’ Five Wicked Ways Australia’s most ill-timed rock album? Virgin Records wanted them in ’87, they said no. Released in ’92 right as grunge killed hair metal. We discuss the hooks, terrible timing and pure rock tragedy. www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/wrong-time...

While other bands chased trends, Iron Maiden set the blueprint. Galloping rhythms, dual leads, theatrical shows. They weren’t following 80s metal - they WERE 80s metal. The man that wrote the book on Maiden, Daniel Bukszpan, joins us to break it all down! 🤘 www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/fearless-f...

Really glad this album was nominated to be reviewed. I was familiar with the band name and picked up their 1989 CD a few years ago but didn't know this one until I listened so we could discuss on the @digmeoutpodcast.com. If you like 80s AOR rock with great guitars, you'll dig this album.

🚨 New 80s Metal Episode! 🚨 Icon’s Night of the Crime is the era’s ultimate “shoulda-been-huge” album, packed with AOR magic, dual guitar fireworks, and label drama galore. We dig into how a Phoenix band with all the right stuff still flew under the radar. www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/the-millio...

The Million Dollar Metal Album That Vanished Into Thin Air Eddie Kramer produced it. Ron Nevison mixed it. Bob Halligan Jr. wrote the hits. So why did Capitol Records’ next Quiet Riot disappear during the mastering process? The 1985 mystery that still haunts

Love Cup’s “Griefus, Gronks, and Sheet” (1994) sounds like Hum’s lost sibling Same Champaign-Urbana scene. Same crushing space rock. Same label. But they never found their “Stars. www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/what-if-hu...

Sky Cries Mary's “A Return to the Inner Experience” (1993): 77 minutes of psychedelic chaos that somehow got released on Capitol Records. Pure beautiful confusion. New Dig Me Out episode explores this Seattle oddity👇 www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/a-return-t...

A Return to the Inner Experience: The 77-Minute Psychedelic Journey That Confused Capitol Records Sky Cries Mary’s 1993 opus starts with Enya, pivots to R&B grooves, covers the Rolling Stones, and somehow makes it all work—32 years later, it’s still impossible to categorize.

In a Priest Driven Ambulance is the most important Flaming Lips album nobody talks about. Before Wayne’s bubble suits + orchestral grandeur, there was this raw spiritual album from 1990. Four Oklahoma misfits wrestling with faith, mortality + cosmic reverb. www.digmeoutpodcast.com/p/the-flamin...
