I always enjoy having members of 1000mods visit me at the studio. This time the interview escalated to a full blown party! Lambros & Dani (drums & vocals/bass) brought with them Greg, their trustworthy roadie/tour manager/drummer-for-their-sworn-enemies and we were stuck for 2 hours in the studio, discussing 1000mods' latest release, entitled 'Vultures'. Along the way we were joined by the aforementioned eternal foes, namely Sadhus, as well as Jay by PoZ. Mods shed light into Vultures and their newly found label 'Ouga Booga & the Mighty Oug Recordings' and went the extra mile to share also some universal truths about life, friendship, love & scavenging. This recording includes the Vultures release in its entirety plus a ton of useless/ful blabbering. Stay alert for an upcoming summer live by 1000mods somewhere near you...

Southern sludge groovers Beyond Perception joined this weeks' Heavy & Unhealthy radio show. Makis & Kostas (vocals & guitar) were kind enough to bring their latest release 'Anthem For The Wasted' so that we could explore it in depth. Although it just hit the stores, Anthem... has been waiting patiently inside some HDD for about 4 years! Lots of beer was consumed and stories about the band's 10 year course were confined! Ignore my fuck-up regarding the loss of half an hour of recorded material and enjoy yourself some Beyond Perception with a cold one in hand...

I've waited for 4 whole months to upload this here recorded radio show, long enough for Sadhus (The Smoking Community) to release their long awaited debut/self titled/masterpiece LP. These guys are no strangers to Heavy & Unhealthy radio-show, I always end up kicking them out of the studio, but they keep coming back! Stavros (vocals), Steve (rolling engineer), Thomas (guitar), Nick (bass) & Greg (drums) as well as Alex (meatbox neighbor) crashed the studio on April Fool's Day and we were stuck for two long hours inside a 9 square meters room. As always, bad luck keeps chasing these guys and the server crashed for an hour or so. Nevertheless, true fans stayed tuned for the whole 40 minutes of silence, only to be rewarded with the mellow (not) tunes of The Smoking Community. A big thanx to all the listeners and a bigger shout out to all fans of  sludge.
The Smoking Community embraces you...

Introductions are pointless. Babis & Jay (guitar/vocals & bass respectively) from the almighty Planet Of Zeus are behind the mics and most of this shows' tunes come from their latest release Vigilante. This here recorded version has been uploaded 2 days after their live show in Athens which marked the end of their Vigilante tour. If you attended the show, you are kindly requested to sit back, listen to the music and lick your wounds...

Last week's show found me in the company of Makis & Kostas (keyboard & guitar respectively) of the upcoming Greek band Mother Of Millions. At it for quite some time now, this here band experiment on the edge of progressive metal & rock and have released their debut album entitled Human since February. Melodic & groovy, Human one could say is a concept album that has already caught the ear of Turkey Vulture Records and I personally hope we see and hear more of this here band, especially on a live-show basis (ya hear me Pandora's Box Booking?). Anyhow, here's the two hour interview they gave over at Heavy & Unhealthy, merely missing the last five minutes...

For the second time in a row, I've had the pleasure of welcoming Blame Kandinsky to the studio. Marios & Spyros (guitars) talked about their debut release Pink Noise Motel, already out in digital form and soon to be released in physical form. This time I managed to record the whole thing, so without further ado, I give you two hours of edgy rock and spoken nonsense!

Yesterday I've had the pleasure of welcoming to the studio 60% of a great Greek band, namely DreamLongDead. Giorgos, Giannis & Tassos (bass, vocals and guitar-vocals respectively) joined me for two hours, throughout which beer and tobacco smoke set the stage for some from-the-heart discussion regarding everything from the band's history and future plans, views on the present situation of the metal genre as well as some epic dissing! Being mere vessels of the Great Old Ones, DreamLongDead follow instructions from beyond as to what to write and how to play it. As for the rest, well, they just don't give a flying fuck. Fans of doomy death metal covered in shit can grab a spoon and help themselves...

Two days ago, I had the pleasure of welcoming to the studio a post-rock/trip-hop band called Blame The Trees. Natalia, Harris, Giorgos & Kyriakos (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboard & Drums respectively) kept me company for two hours, during which we played their debut album entitled 'Synapses' (self-released in 2013) in its entirety, plus an unreleased track in acoustic mode. If there's one thing to be said about these guys is that they are honest, modest and excellent interlocutors. Plus, their music rocks. OK, that was more than one thing, but there you go. If you like melodic and groovy tunes lead by enchanting female vocals, make sure you give this one a listen or two and follow Blame The Trees on their journey to greatness.

Contra Limit are a four-piece groovy desert rock band hailing from the island of Syros, currently situated in Athens. Zannis, the vocalist of the aforementioned, joined me for two hours throughout which we discussed the band's bio and their debut release 'Four Barrels From An Island'. Make sure you keep an ear out for these youngsters, for they sound very promising!

It's been quite a while, since the last solo Heavy & Unhealthy Radio Session. Much as I like to host interviews with local bands, the solo sessions have a lot less talking and a lot more tunes...
Hope it is as good for you as it has been for me!

Riff-Based-Rock: that's the name of the game for this week's Heavy & Unhealthy radio show guest band. Solarmonkeys, a four-piece rock band hailing from Athens, Greece, came, saw, spoke, drank beer and conquered! Fotis and Alex (guitar & bass respectively) joined forces and unrolled their natural talent for conversation and tomfoolery for two hours, during which, we discussed the band's history, their upcoming release & Solarmonkey's future plans for live shows. Those of you situated in Athens, mark the date of April the 30th, for they will be sharing the stage of AN Club with the likes of The Mighty N, Cellar Dogs & Fool In The Box, where they will hopefully give us the secret for a perfect kontosouvli...

Anestis & Kostis (guitar & bass respectively) from Biotech were this week's guests in Heavy & Unhealthy. Words fail in terms of defining the genre of Biotech's music, as it derives from many audio influences, bands & albums. Biotech have already released their debut album entitled 'Alive We Die' & are currently in the process of producing their second full length release, due to hit the market sometime before this summer. As always, eyes & ears open for news & upcoming live shows regarding this unique group of musicians, for they are cooking up lots of surprises!

Kicking off March with a very special show: 3Fold Pain joined me in our weekly 2-hour quest for heavy tunes. Effie, Anthony & Thodoris (bass, vocals & guitar respectively) not only kept me company for the night, but also carried a guitar and a percussion set to perform acoustic versions of a few songs from their latest full length release. Fans of Nu metal will rejoice with this one!

I've been trying to get these guys to the studio for quite some time now so I could get to know the people behind the band with the catchy name and the distinctive musical style. Apparently, all I had to do was make online threats during last week's interview with Blame Kandinksy and voilà: Marios, Kostas and Antonis (guitars/vocals, bass and drums respectively) joined me in a two-hour quest for knowledge and audiophilia, throughout which we talked about their debut EP entitled 'Yes Exactly, Maybe Not' (out for quite some time now and up for grabs), as well as their upcoming full length release (scheduled to be released sometime during Spring).

It's high time you checked out Blame Kandinsky, a freshly-out-of-the-oven greek band, who deliver awesome edgy rock with a math twist! Spyros (guitarist of the above mentioned audio criminals) kept me company for two and a half hours, throughout which we discussed the history of the band and their upcoming debut release. Once again the shit hit the fan and I failed to record the entirety of that week's Heavy & Unhealthy session. Anywho, here is 26 minutes of blabber and a music track just so you can get a wee taste of what Blame Kandinsky are about. Do not miss their live shows, words fail to describe their on-stage performance...

It has been a real pleasure to welcome to the studio of the elephant the man behind a great Greek death metal band, namely Abyssus.
Kostas kept me company for two hours, throughout which we played some heavy tunes, enjoyed a few cold beers and discussed the history, present and future of Abyssus. With some split releases in the making and some upcoming live shows, Abyssus is a band worth of your attention and with a rightful claim of a place in your music collection. Eyes and ears open, enjoy this show with cold beers and heavy-metal attitude.

During last week, i came unto an article from Metal Injection entitled '20 Albums Celebrating Their 20th Anniversary in 2014'. After a quick internet quest, I realized what a fruitful year 1994 was, in terms of metal music releases. Thus, I decided to dedicate this here episode to releases that came out 20 years ago.
Welcome to 1994 minions!
