Big project for 2011

With only 2 shows left for the hfhshow in 2010, I've been pondering what I can do to make the next year interesting.
My idea;
ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING A TRUE METAL HEAD
Basically, I started in metal just before the big nu-metal craze, and though I was never fully immersed in said craze I was certainly influenced by it. Meaning, I didn't (or don't) have the background of many of the classic legends of metal, Black Sabbath eluded me for years, Judas Priest still does, I have a greatest hits of Iron maiden cd and that's about it.
I've been fermenting on such an idea for a while, till finally whilst taking a late night crap I came up with this.
The idea being that I will check out albums from the great nay, classic, nay legendary bands that sculpted the melting pot we call a genre.
Each week will (hopefully) bring a new album/ band and I'll progressively work my way through years of monumental listening.
The first show in 2011 will focus on the album that (most people say) started it all: Black Sabbaths 1970 self titled album.

I don't know what I'm expecting the outcome will be, but I will be taking advice from all of my interviewees next year and whenever an international act is announced to play NZ I'll take time out to check out a pivotal  album from them.. 

Stay tuned to the show and hardfastheavy.com to checkout what happens.
