Pantheon - Podcasts for Music Lovers

Old school is in session as JayQuan, author of the coffee table book, RUN-DMC and Raising Hell: 40 Years, joins the podcast. 

As we learn JayQuan's story, we receive an education on the origins of hip-hop. Artists from the Cold Crush Brothers to William Waring to The Mizell Brothers were essential to the sound of Run-DMC, as were the beats of Take Me To The Mardi Gras by Bob James and Walk This Way by Aerosmith. 

It's no wonder JayQuan is the curator for the National Hip-Hop Museum in Washington DC, as well as a consultant for The Hip-Hop Museum in the Bronx. 

So let's start Raising Hell, and learn from the masters.

EPYSODE 80: Armageddon by Armageddon.

Guest: Louis Cennamo.

Additional commentary by the Psychedelic Wizard Uncle Herff.

This week we explore the explosive sound of 1975's Armageddon, the self-titled debut and only album by the British progressive hard rock band Armageddon. This album fuses progressive rock, hard rock, and psychedelic textures, delivering a powerful and intricate listening experience that has captivated collectors and prog-rock enthusiasts for decades. Featuring dynamic guitar work and rich rhythmic interplay, Armageddon stands as a seminal statement of 70s British hard prog.

This epysode is particularly special because it marks the conclusion of our mini-series featuring exclusive commentary by legendary bassist Louis Cennamo, who provides insider insights and reflections on the creative process that went into crafting this iconic album. Listeners will gain unique perspectives on the recording sessions and collaborative energy of the band.

Tune in for track-by-track analysis and firsthand insights from a rock legend, as we close out the mini-series with a celebration of a record that remains a must-have for collectors, prog aficionados, and fans of classic 70s British rock.

I hope you dig Armageddon as much as I do.
