You have to strike while the Irons are hot. As this episode first goes to air, US death metalllers Unmerciful’s latest platter “Wrath Encompassed” will only be a week to the day on the racks. So we had to get bassist Jeremy Turner on the horn. We discussed the band’s switch to Willowtip, his live work with Cannibal Corpse, and quizzed him about any potential King Diamond jokes. But I…

This week we have another veteran we should’ve had on a long time ago. Ash Thomas is a multi instrumentalist who’s been tearing it up in the underground since ’93. Most notable (past?) projects include Crucified Mortals and Archeron. Today Mr. Thomas is killing it with killer outfits like Hell’s Headbangers Faith Xtractor and Shed The Skin. As well as Surgikill featuring Steve O from the legendary Impetigo! With his…

Whats in a name? With their chosen monicker, no doubt young death metal guns Creeping Death have received more than their share of detractors. But to write this outfit off as mere clones would definitely be wrong. In a short period of these Texas bashers are really starting to come into their own. Creeping Death made waves last year with their debut full lengther “Wretched Illusions”. On eOne, no less!…

“Heavy Metal finds a way”. We’re paraphrasing here a bit but the sentiment remains true. With all this crazy covd stuff going on, our beloved genre is still finding ways to entertain us. At the forefront are our good buddies with Reaper Metal Productions. RMP mainman Reaper (d’uh) is no stranger to the show having graced us in the past discussing his various musical projects. Now RMP has a myriad…

Welcome to our Big 6-0-0!! Normally we make a hububaloo about these milestone episodes. But with everything going on in this crazy world we’re pretty much just focused to maintaining our due course. Besides it’s episode 666 thats going to be be the Big One!! That’s not to say that we’re half assing it though. The members of Ritual Dictates are no strangers to Metaldom boasting current and ex members…

For veteran Metallers, Thrust should have a special place in your Metal heart. During the early/mid 80s underground Metal explosion, Thrust’s Metal Blade debut “Fists Held High” was part of that first wave of wicked records that paved the way. The mainman behind the outfit is axeman Ronnie Cooke. Mr. Cooke is an Iron Man of the Metal world and after all these decades he continues to kill it. In…

This week we stare the elephant in the living room right in the eye. The threat and fear of the coronavirus (didn’t they support Anthrax in ’87?) has brought the music scene (and the pop culture world) to a grinding halt. Tours are being postponed or cancelled. Venues are being being shut down. This is affecting your favourite radio show directly. Inactivity on the live front greatly hinders our ability…

Something a little different this week. Metallica axeman Kirk Hammett makes no secret of this other passion…horror flicks. Over the years, Mr. Hammett has amassed quite a collection of vintage horror film posters and memorabilia. Almost a museum’s worth. Or at least a fair amount to warrant its own exhibit. Thus, “It’s Alive! Classic Horror and Sci Fi from the Kirk Hammett Collection” is born. This traveling exhibition made a…
