This week on Toilet Radio, Joe and Jordo watch the first part of Sam Dunn’s impressive 2011 documentary series Metal Evolution. We begin with “Pre-Metal” and talk about the primordial ooze from which blast beats and tremolo picking emerged. We’re reviewing medieval chord progressions, Black Sabbath ripping off classical composers, jazz, Howlin’ Wolf, the big money hustlas at Sun Studios, the origins of distortion and much, much more. But that’s not all: We’re also talking about discontinued energy drinks for reasons I cannot really ascertain. Folks, this is a very good one. If you enjoy it, please tune into the Patreon later today for the second part in this series as we talk about early metal in the US and the UK.

Music featured on this show:

Nocturnal Spawn – Unbroken
