Far Beyond Metal

Far Beyond Metal is a metal interview show that sets out to defy what it means to be metal by exploring the minds of the musicians, writers, and metal media staples behind the genre that is largely made up adults growling like monsters. Guests discuss their earliest musical origins, their careers, current projects, and more. The “more” frequently includes Prince for some reason. Host Daniel Cordova has spent more than a decade being obnoxious in the Sacramento metal scene. He had a radio show with KSSU, currently writes for Metal Injection, and produces the FBM podcast independently. This show is an homage to metal and the cheesy voices announcing it. Theme courtesy of Century Media Records & Devin Townsend himself.
