Sirius XM Does Comic Book Inspired Heavy Metal Show

We're picking up on late a little late but not too late.

Blood Roots is a Heavy Metal history program hosted by Ian Christie (Author of Sound Of The Beast). Running since 2004, each week the show focuses on a different subgenre, band, movement, country or theme in metal, punk or heavy rock. This week they focus on the connection between Heavy Metal and Comic Books.

Heavy metal is often considered the comic book of the music world by ill-informed clods, reveling in common themes like violent vengeance and grim justice. In fact, metal and comics cross paths only rarely but with legendary results, and on this week's heavy metal history lesson host Ian Christe ("Sound of the Beast"/Bazillion Points Books) clobbers a handful of classic songs about Iron Man, Thor, Judge Dredd, Spiderman, Ghost Rider, Conan, and others by heavy metal heroes Manowar, Bloodstar, Voivod, Entombed, Unseen Terror, Ramones, Celtic Frost and more! Know your roots, nuf sed!

The show is available on-demand from SiriusXM.com or will air one more time this week at 9PM EST Thursday 2/27 on Liquid Metal channel 40. Below is the playlist for the show.
