Heavy Metal March Madness: Black Sabbath

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0500

The month March brings to mind many things ranging from Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day festivities but to sports fans this month is special because of March Madness where Division 1 college teams duke it out for basketball supremacy...
Here at the Rants From the Black Lodge Podcast we love our heavy metal and 2021 will begin a new tradition in the style of the famed NCAA single elimination tournament with a hard rockin' twist.

The Rant Army, song by song will whittle down the original Black Sabbath catalog to decide which head banging anthem will reign supreme.
Album by album, each panelist will have 2 minutes to argue their pick for the best song and the tune with the most votes will advance in the tournament.
In the event that each panelist picks a different song, there will be an elimination vote and the 2 remaining songs will be voted one with only one moving to the next round. This will continue until there is only one song left standing.
Each album and song will be designated a random number to correlate with its bracket position to keep the matchups as unbiased as possible.

Guitar maestro Tony Iommi, legendary bassist Geezer Butler, drumming titan Bill Ward and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. Singularly they stand as Icons, together they become rock gods. Few composers, artist or bands can boast that they invented a musical genre, however in 1970 with 3 demonic notes the boys from Birmingham England opened the mouth of hell and gave birth to the greatest form of music known to mankind or otherwise... heavy fucking metal!
50 years later no band has touched the sacred sonic riffs, the haunting lyrics or the pounding rhythms.

Tonight we crank the dial to eleven as when pit Sabbath song against Sabbath song but only one can win HEAVY METAL MARCH MADNESS!

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0500

Somewhere between the suburbs of depravity and the Boulevard of bad taste lies a quaint little burrow known as Tromaville. Unfortunately, Tromaville’s inhabitants reside under the thumb of political corruption and live in fear of the cavalcades of murderous maniacs who roam the streets in search of bloody mayhem. However, born out of a tragedy a hero will rise to take out the trash of the forces of evil and literally clean up the mess of the foulest of the foul, mop in hand.
This month the Rant Army tackles 1984s The Toxic Avenger with an in-depth retrospective featuring star, Mark Torgl and The Last Drive- In music man and Troma Producer, John Brennan.

The Rants From the Black Lodge crew celebrate crossing the 1,000 member threshold in the Facebook group with the announcement of an upcoming bonus episode but til that comes to pass the members of the Rant Army can enjoy our feature length running commentary track for the 1985 cult classic Ghoulies with a special appearance from cult director and the film's editor Ted Nicolaou. If the director of such classics as TerrorVision, Bad Channels and the Subspecies films isn't enough to wet your appetite the perhaps the run-in of international professional wrestling star Danny Rainbows during your fan questions segment will.
What was intended to be just another episode quickly became the strangest episode in the show's history... enjoy if you dare.
