Episode 273 of Heavy Metal Tones is a full-on Crypt Crawl into the underground, where the cold is creeping in and the riffs are burning hot. Wynter is coming… and Evillean have brought the fuel.

This week I dive into the brand-new EPs from both bands, digging into the sound, the atmosphere and why these releases deserve a place on your radar if you live for the darker corners of heavy music. Along the way I spin Wynter’s crushing “Black Widow” and unleash Evillean’s ferocious “Bitchcntsumfck”, then close out the episode with exclusive previews of another track from each band.

Fresh underground metal, icy vibes, and serious attitude — join me for the latest Crypt Crawl.

This week on Heavy Metal Tones we dive back into our 50 Years of Punk (1976–2026) series with Part 3, shining the spotlight on Northern Ireland’s fiery punk rebels Stiff Little Fingers and their powerful second album Nobody’s Heroes.

Following the raw impact of their debut, this record captures a band sharpening their sound while refusing to lose the urgency and honesty that made them essential. We explore the stories behind the album, the political tension and social commentary woven through the songs, and why Nobody’s Heroes stands as one of the most important and emotionally charged releases of punk’s early years.

If you love punk with heart, history and a message, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Turn it up and join the journey.

Here is the video I mentioned the infamous Top Of The Pops appearance where they refused to mime and mucked about.

This week’s Heavy Metal Tones is a very special and heartfelt episode. Following the sad passing of Ross The Boss on March 26, we’re revisiting one of our favourite conversations — the full interview with Ross alongside Stu Marshall, originally released as Episode 218 in April 2025.

In this powerful chat, Ross reflects on his incredible career, from his early days with The Dictators to the glory and power of Manowar, and into the modern era with Death Dealer. It’s an honest, warm and inspiring conversation that captures the passion, humour and dedication that made him such a beloved figure in the metal world.

If you missed this episode the first time, or want to celebrate his legacy with us, this is the perfect moment to press play, turn it up loud, and remember a true legend. 🤘
