In Episode 441 of Signals From Mars, we’re joined by Seattle heavy metal band Greyhawk to discuss their third full-length album, Warriors Of Greyhawk. Since emerging in 2018, Greyhawk has established themselves as one of the most consistently productive and road-tested bands in modern traditional heavy metal, releasing multiple EPs and full-length albums while refining their sound with each release.
This conversation focuses on process, evolution, and intent rather than surface-level promotion. We explore how the band approaches songwriting over long stretches of time, how creative chemistry evolves with lineup changes, and whether Warriors Of Greyhawk followed a specific vision or revealed itself naturally during its creation.
We also talk about the role of producer Henrik Udd, the importance of bass performance in shaping the album’s identity, and how closely the band collaborated on the album’s striking artwork. Physical media still matters in heavy metal, and Greyhawk shares insight into working with their label to bring Warriors Of Greyhawk to fans on vinyl, CD, and cassette.
The discussion touches on Seattle’s deep and varied musical history, including influences that may not be immediately obvious, and wraps up with practical ways fans can support the band directly and stay connected going forward.
If you’re interested in how modern heavy metal albums are actually made, this episode delivers a thoughtful, in-depth conversation without giving anything away.
