In past years I’ve reached out to artists and listeners and compiled a list of top albums and tracks of the year. This year however I was extremely busy with the birth of my second son, and did not have the time to do so. Hell I’m typing this up at 4:28AM local time, I’ve currently got my hands pretty, pretty, pretty full. With that said, I have spent the past few weeks listening to as may releases as I could, reviewing albums I had listed to already, and touching on ones I had wanted to get to, but hadn’t until now. Out of those albums, I was able to put together what I feel are the top twenty albums to have come out in 2012. In the past I’ve done a countdown episode of the podcast, but this year I’m going to leverage something Spotify now allows us to do, and that’s add a playlist to a website without needing to access or sign up for their service. As a result, you’ll also find a play list I compiled that highlights all of the best hard rock, metal, or just plain heavy music to…
For those keeping score Mars Attacks Podcast was asked to form part of the Cast Iron Ring a few months back. The various hosts of the shows associated to “The Ring” tend to talk quite a bit behind the scenes about each others show, guests etc. So when we started discussing things like the iPhone app, we started kicking around the idea of doing a joint podcast with various hosts. We sort of took advantage of the fact that Kiss was releasing their new album Monster, and decided to do a show centered around a band. A band that the four hosts featured have followed for pretty much their entire lives. The host in question are John from Iron City Rocks, Roch from Radioactive Metal, Scott from Focus On Metal, and yours truly Victor from Mars Attacks Podcast. Hopefully this will be the first of many Cast Iron Ring Podcasts. Hope you enjo…
