Episode #45: Death and the Art of Raven Skeletons

El Goro and SonOfOdin check out a cover album from Danzig and
Avatarium's second full-length. In the indie segment, El Goro
entertains some Finnish melodeath with an EP by Enthring. Finally,
SonOfOdin hoists the Jolly Roger and lets the filthy pirates of
Running Wild raid Heavy Metal Valhalla. New Releases: Danzig :
Skeletons (2015) When Glenn Danzig left the Misfits, he formed the
group Samhain to explore a darker, blues-influenced form of heavy
metal. After a few linup changes, Danzig changed the group's name
to his own surname so that he could continue indefinitely
regardless of the other membership. Get this album: Amazon.com • CD
