Channel Title: Steve “Steve Hughes Official” Hughes Channel Description: Steve Hughes, known to the world as the cutting edge stand up comedian who pulls no punches, was one of the leading lights of the early heavy metal scene in Australia. In 2021 things have come full circle for Steve Hughes. Musician, comedian and back to musician. Although anyone who is a fan of Hughes knows the two are inextricably linked. 'Heavy Metal Comedy' was the name of one of his official comedy releases after all, but the themes in Steve’s comedy have always been aligned with some of those that are deeply rooted in heavy metal lyrics. Tyranny, globalism, oppression, the NWO, you know, all the good conspiracy stuff. While making people laugh Hughes never lost his metal roots and eventually crafted the songs for his debut record 'Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts', which will soon be available on vinyl.

Slaughter Lord was the first thrash/death metal band to emerge from Australia. In their short history they also became known internationally through the tape-trading and fanzine era that help spread extreme metal throughout the world. Slaughter Lord made an impact on the cult metal underground even having 2 international acts, Ares Kingdom (USA) and At The Gates (Sweden), cover Slaughter Lord songs. A vinyl and CD release - Thrash Till Death, 86/87- of demo and rehearsal tracks, would eventually be released through Invictus Productions in Ireland. The 1980s was a rich and fertile time for heavy metal music. I hope you enjoy this small piece of Australian Metal history. HAIL!

In 2021 things have come full circle for Steve Hughes. Musician, comedian and back to musician. Although anyone who is a fan of Hughes knows the two are inextricably linked. 'Heavy Metal Comedy' was the name of one of his official comedy releases after all, but the themes in Steve’s comedy have always been aligned with some of those that are deeply rooted in heavy metal lyrics. Tyranny, globalism, oppression, the NWO, you know, all the good conspiracy stuff.

While making people laugh Hughes never lost his metal roots and eventually crafted the songs for his debut record 'Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts', which will soon be available on vinyl. Click the link below to order your copy.
