You have stumbled upon a recording of grave significance for the Heavy & Unhealthy radio show. Apart from the fact that we had the honor of offering our humble hospitality to Omega Monolith (a titan of a two-man-band) & that we were so fucking lucky to host an interview just before the release of their third album Fungus, we actually managed to pull off a live session featuring the aforementioned titan. Alex & Takis (drums and guitar respectively) were kind enough to talk us through their latest piece of soundscaping art and went the extra mile to grace us with 26 minutes of steaming live performance. If you ever miss an opportunity to catch the magnificent duo Omega Monolith live, consider yourself an idiot.

Dedicated to Akis. Safe journey brother.

That was the second time we managed to host a radio show featuring Smoke The Fuzz Gigs. It was also the second time that Smoke The Fuzz Gigs chose to appear on radio. Well, you get where we' re going with this...
Elina, mastermind extraordinaire and sole culprit for whatever 's cooking inside StF's cauldron, spent 2 hours with the H&U crew, sharing thoughts and stories behind many live StF productions, featuring bands such as Yob, Dopethrone, Stoned Jesus and so on. She was also kind enough to let us into some future plans (sorry, no spoilers, listen to the show). It's always great to interview a person who literally takes it personally when it comes to planning, hosting & executing (flawlessly) a live production. So, without further ado, here's the recorded interview of Smoke The Fuzz Gigs.
Thanx Elina, we <3 you!

Here's one band that's doing it right: Tardive Dyskinesia, the undisputed pioneers of Greece's progressive metal scene joined H&U in the meat market studio for 2 hours. Manthos & Steve (vocals, guitars & guitars respectively) sat on the casting couch and spent some quality time with the H&U crew. Seizing the opportunity that was the mini-tour for the 10 years of their debut album Distorting Point Of View (specially remastered just for the occasion), the guys talked on air about their future plans, the bands' history and their upcoming release, due sometime around September. Sit back, crack a beer open and click play.

Picking a band to break the cherry of interviews in the new H&U headquarters was an easy task. Planet Of Zeus were the first and only candidates. Jay & Stelios (bass & guitar respectively) were kind enough to consume anything and everything that was provided that day, while discussing their latest release entitled Loyal to the Pack, their 4th full length album, out now by ihaveadrum records. Words are cheap, just listen to the interview and May the Fourth be with you.

Kicking off the 5th Season, episodes 01-06

Beloved friends & Abhorrent foes,

after a year and a half of complete silence, we managed to get the show back on air. This time under the umbrella of Downtuned Radio, we relocated the studio at an old building located above the Central Meat Market of Piraeus. The new digs can easily host live sessions, as well as interviews, so we' re very excited about that! The building itself is the home for many Greek underground bands, so one can say that we're right in the hornet's nest. Below you may find the first 6 shows of the ongoing 5th season, but tread with caution, as they are full of mistakes regarding the sound of the microphones... trial & error guys is the hard road to perfection! Soon we'll upload the remaining 3 shows with the first band interviews. Enjoy fuckers!
Yours truly,
the H&U crew

This here is the last show of the 3rd season, and what better way to wrap it up, other than having good company to share the alcohol and the tunes. Hector and Chris (guitar and bass, respectively) represented their band, namely For A Dozen Matters at the Heavy & Unhealthy studio. We spent two hours talking about music, life and their latest release The Hell That Follows which is up for grabs at their bandcamp page. Death metal meets Rock 'n Roll meets booze. Fun times indeed!

PS: Being the lazy-ass dog that I am, I humbly apologize to Chris & Hector for taking such a long time to update the blog with this recording.

Officially joined by Mitsos, the mastermind behind Pandora's Box Booking, this here show sticks to the old play-the-tunes-speak-the-truth recipe of Heavy & Unhealthy. This recording has been up on the Mixcloud for quite some time now, but was without a proper description and a tracklist. Since it's Mitsos' birthday today, I decided to properly tag & edit it, as a b-day present if you like. Pandora's Box has kicked off the season of 2015 with some serious gigs, so make sure you follow along.
Happy Birthday Bro!

What seemed to be a promising start for the fourth consecutive season of the show, turned out to be  the gravestone for Radio Zografou. This one was recorded more than a year ago, it features Last Rizla (DIY masters extraordinaire) as a guest band and it's about their sophomore release 'Seamen'.
Choko, Kostis, Greg (Guitar, Bass & Drums respectively) as well as Orestis (all-around handyman) hang out with yours truly for more than 3 hours, during which we discussed the bands' history, the album in question &  their future endeavors.
This year-old recording marks the death of the Zografou Era, but also the birth of the Piraeus Era. Stay tuned, or -to be more specific- stay Downtuned for more.
Enjoy with caution.

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...
