Heavy Planet Podcast Episode #09: Girls Wanna Rock

This month the Heavy Planet Podcast treats your ears to some of the finest female-fronted bands the world has to offer. The bands represented here run the gammut from Occult Doom Rock to Horrific Sludge Metal. This is just a sampling of the many bands out there that deserve your attention. Missing from the podcast are progressive sludge stalwarts Kylesa (female vocals on some songs), enigmatic doom metal merchants Bloody Panda, doom duo Dark Castle, and I'm sure there are many others. But I know one thing is for damn sure, these ladies just want to rock!

HEAVY PLANET PODCAST

Heavy Planet in association with Grip of Delusion Radio will broadcast a monthly podcast. Eventually the podcast will be weekly, but for right now it will be monthly. This month's podcast features bands from Sweden. Why you ask? Listen to the podcast and find out. Many of you already know why, but for those of you that don't will see why Sweden is such a huge contributor to the Stoner Rock/Doom genre. We want to make our podcasts fun and interactive. We want to extend our blog into our podcasts. You will hear each of the writers of Heavy Planet taking turns being a "DJ". We will also feature some "New Band To Burn One To" bands from the past within each episode. We are always looking for band submissions, song submissions, episode suggestions, etc. Please tune in this Sunday October 16th from 4:00 EST-6:00 EST to listen to the show. Thanks for listening!

Gruesome Greg Announces Open Call

From Gruesome Greg:

Well, it seems that ever since I`ve purchased my PO Box, it`s been pretty empty. Granted, a couple bands have sent me stuff, but there have been a few others who said they would send me a CD, and I`ve yet to receive it Whether U.S. Customs, Canada Post, or the effect of marijuana on the memory is to blame, I`m not too sure at this point.


However, I would like to take this time to announce an open call for music submissions. If you play anything within the realm of stoner, psych, sludge, doom or heavy rock and are looking for radio airplay, then feel free to send me a CD! There has been a large amount of local (Ontario) content played on the first few episodes of Smokin` Green, and that`s partially because I`m not receiving anything new and fresh from other parts of the wold. As much as I love Kyuss and Sleep, I don`t wanna be playing their records every week, you know?


I always check my mailbox on Tuesday, the day before my show, and I`ll be looking forward to getting a lot more mail in the future!


Peace,


Gruesome Greg,
Host of Smokin` Green
