Ro takes listeners on a global tour of the hardest-hitting new music on Hard Rock Hell Radio. We kick off with the melodic hard rock of Dark Heart before diving into the gritty, riff-heavy sounds of Dan Burn and the “emo-trap-rock” stylings of LA-based Love Ghost. There’s some personal favorites from the current metal scene, including the brutal sounds of Germany’s Mesticator and the high-energy thrash of Miami’s Acidosis, while also exploring progressive landscapes with Brazil’s Abstracted and Denmark’s Lola. The hour isn’t just about original tracks; Ro highlights a surprising and powerful cover of Tears for Fears’ “Shout” by Michigan newcomers Botzilla. Between tracks, Ro shares anecdotes about his own teenage thrash band and gives advice to independent artists on how to get their music played on the station. The episode wraps up with atmospheric doom from Spain’s Hela and a final Norwegian rock anthem from Gjenferd, leaving listeners with plenty of new bands to follow on Bandcamp and social media.
