David Ellefson is a name synonymous with the thunderous rhythms and electrifying energy of heavy metal music. Renowned as one of the most influential bassists in the genre, Ellefson's career spans decades, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of metal music.

Born on November 12, 1964, in Jackson, Minnesota, David Ellefson found his calling early on, drawn to the raw power and visceral expression of heavy metal.

Ellefson's bass playing became a cornerstone of Megadeth's sound, characterized by his lightning-fast finger work, precise rhythms, and aggressive tone. His contributions to iconic albums such as "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?" and "Rust in Peace" helped propel Megadeth to international fame, earning them legions of devoted fans and critical acclaim.

Beyond his musical prowess, Ellefson's role as a songwriter and lyricist added depth and substance to Megadeth's catalog, exploring themes of politics, social issues, and personal introspection with unflinching honesty.

In addition to his work with Megadeth, Ellefson has pursued various solo projects and collaborations, further showcasing his versatility and creative vision. He has released solo albums, worked with other bands and artists, and explored different musical styles while always staying true to his metal roots.

Throughout his career, David Ellefson has weathered the highs and lows of the music industry with resilience and determination. His passion for music, coupled with his unwavering commitment to his craft, has solidified his status as a true icon of heavy metal.

Beyond his musical endeavors, Ellefson is also an author, entrepreneur, and mentor, sharing his experiences and insights with aspiring musicians around the world. His autobiography, "My Life with Deth," offers a candid look at his journey in music and serves as inspiration for those who dare to chase their dreams.

Despite the challenges and obstacles he has faced, David Ellefson remains a driving force in the world of heavy metal, continuing to inspire generations of fans and musicians alike with his unparalleled talent and unwavering passion for music. Whether shredding on stage or sharing his wisdom offstage, Ellefson's legacy is etched in the annals of metal history, forever immortalizing him as a true titan of the genre.

SLEEPING GIANTS
"They're heavy music's latest masked mavericks, and now they've sold out Wembley Arena. But who exactly are Sleep Token? We chart the rise and rise of metal's hottest new band."
Words: Merlin Alderslade
Art and time lapse video by Luke Phillips (see YouTube channel @rockwithpjpat. Click the PODCAST Tab)

Narrated and comments by PJ Pat

Formed in 2014, Sleep Token's members choose to remain in the shadows, allowing their art to take center stage. The band's central figure, known as Vessel, serves as both vocalist and spiritual guide, leading listeners through a sonic pilgrimage that explores the boundaries between the sacred and the profane. The band's mythology centers around the worship of a deity named "Sleep," whose persona and narrative are intricately interwoven into their music and visuals.

At the core of Sleep Token's sound is a seamless fusion of diverse influences. Elements of black metal, progressive rock, and ambient electronica coalesce with soulful R&B vocals, creating an otherworldly auditory experience. The band's discography, including releases like "Sundowning" and "This Place Will Become Your Tomb," showcases their ability to traverse sonic landscapes with unparalleled fluidity. Sleep Token's music is a journey, a sonic odyssey that invites listeners to delve into the depths of their emotions and confront the complexities of the human experience.

One of the defining features of Sleep Token's artistry is their attention to visual storytelling. Music videos, album covers, and promotional materials are carefully crafted to complement and enhance the thematic depth of their music. The imagery often revolves around esoteric symbols, mystical iconography, and a sense of ritualistic aesthetics. It's a visual feast that adds an extra layer to the immersive experience of being a part of the Sleep Token universe.

If you'd like to support the channel and get some cool rock and roll themed clothing at the same time, please check out: https://its1louder.com/

The prevalence of the color purple in many heavy metal albums can be attributed to its rich symbolism and psychological impact. Purple, often associated with mysticism, royalty, and power, aligns with the genre's themes of otherworldly experiences and the grandiosity of heavy metal music. Additionally, the intense and bold nature of the color resonates with the aggressive and energetic sound of heavy metal, creating a visual representation of the genre's sonic intensity. The use of purple in album artwork and aesthetics serves as a means to evoke a sense of mystery, power, and rebellion, complementing the rebellious spirit inherent in heavy metal culture.

Anointing The Sick plays on Halo of the Goat Radio~ This show starts every Friday @ 2pm mst/3pm cst/4pm est 9pm uk listen here https://hello.citrus3.com:2020/public/haloofthegoat

DREAD WITCH ~ Serpent God (Tower Of The Severed Serpent)
"Six tracks of skin crawling doom sludge aural abuse, crushing the megalith with riffs of  gravitational force and neutronium density." ~ Anointing The Sick

DEVISER ~ Death Is Life Eternal (Evil Summons Evil)
"spiteful and giving evidence of their occult roots with a gothic twist to the sound. Evil Summons Evil is an album layered with symphonic drama and Lovcraftian hatred." ~ Anointing The Sick

DIVINIST ~ Warhead (Divinist)
" Ominous, sludgy doom seething with evil intent. Bleak, black and sullen, the surprisingly sumptuous sound adds multitudes of layers, pitted with pained, acidic guitar leads, to the numbing, hypnotic dissonance taking root into your skull" ~ Anointing The Sick

CRATER ~ The Melting Point Of Drugs (Degenerate)
"Chinese doom/sludge heavy enough to make your eyeballs burst and your teeth rattle out of your skull. All the warmth and moisture you normally get from standard doom riffs have been sucked out and the fuzz sandblasted away to leave an arid musical wasteland of slow, hateful tempos." ~ Anointing The Sick

BLAZON RITE ~ Salvage What You Can Of The Night ( Wild Rites And Ancient Songs)
" It's like being aurally picked off rather than hacked to death and gives a gorgeous balance of sounding really catchy but hard hitting at the same time." ~ Anointing The Sick

CANNABUS ~ Come Down (The Maple Split Sessions)
"It's been a while since I've heard an album as tight as The Maple Spliff Sessions, even my tinnitus broke out in an acid sweat." ~ Anointing The Sick

FEANNAG ~ Which of the Twain was God (Throne)
"Thick, chunky, Scottish blackened death metal. Tempo's change dramatically with each song but your punishment remains merciless and extreme whatever the speed, although much of the album is mid to fast -paced giving Throne elements of doom/death here and there." ~Anointing The Sick

ADVERSVM ~ Vindex (Vama Marga)
"Riffs are carniverous with an immense bite radius ensuring Adversvm's evolving position among the top apex predators of this particular genre." ~Anointing The Sick

SPAWN OF EVIL ~ Storm Of All Sins ( Sadistic Missionaries)
" Unyielding in its ferocity, Sadistic Missionaries overwhelms you with scything riffs and earthquake inducing rhythm sections." ~ Anointing The Sick

JUST BEFORE DAWN ~ We Few (A War Too Far)
" A full frontal assault of Swedish death metal swathed from start to finish with incendiary riffs dripping phosphrous. With leanings toward Bolt Thrower, A War Too Far is an overwhelming assault on the senses, as merciless as it is brutal." ~Anointing The Sick

CEASED SUNFIRE ~ Looked Back But Couldn't See (The Divide )
"Mountainous riffs and a pummelling rhythm section combine to create a tectonic shifting of  Finnish stoner sludge." ~ Anointing The Sick

WARCRAB ~ The Howling Silence ( The Howling Silence)
"An unstoppable mix of rampaging death metal fused with thick sludge creating a morass of lawless rage." ~ Anointing The Sick

Anointing The Sick's final show of 2023 features tonight on Halo of the Goat Radio Inner ear carnage  ensues with the opener from Borracho right the way through to the end track by Slovenian groovy sludgsters Deep Down Bellow. Inbetween I've highlighted more NYP albums that you really need to investigate and featured a couple of albums that were worthy enough to feature in the Doom Charts

Tinnitus Is Tickled by ~
