🎙️ This week on MHOD Jukebox, Mark Radulich, Jesse Starcher, Robert Cooper, and Mik Wanamaker dive into a loud and wide-ranging discussion that starts in the pit and ends in the realms of metal mythology.
We kick things off by swapping stories from recent concerts we’ve attended, from club shows to stadium bangers. Then it's time to hit the main review of the evening: Bloodywood – Nu Delhi. Before we dive into the album itself, we take a look at how Bloodywood evolved from viral YouTube covers to one of the most important Indian metal bands in the world. It's a journey that spans folk-metal fusion, political fire, and undeniable crowd power.
From there, we derail gloriously into some Kiss shenanigans—by plugging their top three most-streamed tracks on Spotify into a word counter. The results spark a conversation about lyrical simplicity, accessibility, and rock music as theater. Naturally, this leads us into a nostalgic spiral about The Demon gimmick in WCW and the wild, often awkward intersections of rock and wrestling.
In our “This Day in Metal” segment, we unpack two major milestones:
The infamous Led Zeppelin reunion at Live Aid 1985, including the chaos, the double-drummers, and why even the band disowned the set.
Dio’s The Last in Line, his powerful sophomore solo album that solidified him as metal royalty and expanded the fantasy-metal soundscape that Holy Diver started.
To close the show, we react to a series of music videos that run the gamut:
Ozzy Osbourne – “Bark at the Moon” – classic ‘80s cheese and peak Ozzy weirdness.
Bloodywood – “Aaj” and “Bekhauf” ft. BABYMETAL – showcasing the band’s evolution into globally-minded sonic activists.
WCW Monday Nitro – Kiss “God of Thunder” (Demon Debut) – a surreal crossover moment of facepaint, pyro, and awkward in-ring posturing.
Elvenking – “Elvenlegions” (2014) – pure power-folk energy that got us talking about theatricality and genre fidelity.
If you like your music reviews with detours into pro wrestling, metal trivia, and linguistic side quests, this episode is for you.
