InObscuria Podcast

Ep. 272: Gargling Nails - Gravel, Grit & Glory

Episode Summary

This week, we start a new series all about appreciating the shredded, gravelly, gritty, raspy pipes and throats of rock n’ roll. We are focusing on lead singers who crafted truly special tones with their sandpapered delivery. Join us in celebrating these unique sets of pipes that set them apart from all the others. Anyone can scream, but only a few deliver gravel, grit & glory!

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Our appreciation, this week, of rough and textured singing extends to all of the genres that we love. Kevin never realized how much this style of vocalizing had an impact on him until putting this whole thing together. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!

Songs this week include:

  1. Metal Church – “Ton Of Bricks” from The Dark (1986)
  2. Hot Water Music – “Trademark” from Fuel For The Hate Game (1997)
  3. Love/Hate – “Blackout In The Red Room” from Blackout In The Red Room (1990)
  4. The Baboon Show – “Gold” from God Bless You All (2022)
  5. Grave Digger – “Hymn Of The Damned” from The Living Dead (2018)
