MPH VOLUME 102: Motifs of Patterned Harmony, the Concept Album Episode: 12.06.2024

#MotifsofPatternedHarmony is volume 102 of MPH: Music Philanthropy and History in the Mosh Pit Hell of Metal Punk and Hardcore on Cygnus Radio. Re-Join us after another short sabbatical for the epic installment of rock operas, Friday 6 December beginning 22:00 US-EDT (10pm nyc), from the Isle of Misfit toys, with the doormouse, dmf.

Tune into #MotifsofPatteredHarmony to take storytelling to its most metallic maximum of grandiose grandeur as we test the themes and concepts from these classical cranial crushers: Voivod, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, The Ocean (Collective), Coheed & Cambria, Alesana, Defeater, Zao, Sepultura, Edge of Sanity, Vektor, At the Gates, Hail of Bullets, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Savatage, Helloween, King Diamond, and a nasty new track from Dream Theater.

Learn about the advent of the concept album, beginning back with Woody Gutherie and follow the progression through heavy music and its many offshoots and how those albums helped not just inspire moshing but modern culture. Then learn about the extravagant output of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society, www.baltimorerockopera.org/, and their work to create original stage performances to the extreme
