Rob Doherty

No.171, aired May 30, 2012. A tribute to Regina heavy metal impressario Rob Doherty (December 21, 1970 – May 4, 2012), who played in Metallist (1980s), Pericardium (1990s), Into Eternity (c.2004 – 2006?), Digital Doomzday (c.2010), and Final Darkness (2011-2012). In Pericardium and Final Darkness, Rob was the prime creative force, providing lead guitar and lead vocals. In Digital Doomzday he collaborated with vocalist Roman Corkery. In Into Eternity he played guitar and collaborated on songs. Seeing him play live around Regina in the mid-90s was always a special thrill. Rob, I was your one-man mosh-pit - Rest In Peace.

Spoken word portion was some readings from William Blake’s Milton, because it’s totally fuckin’ metal.
