Horns Up!! After a brief hiatus, your fave radio show is back! Aaron had some personal stuff to attend to so it was opportune time to take a holiday. And after sixteen (!!) years on the air, I’d say we were due. We reunite for our fave time on the rock n roll calendar – Record Store Day! As is tradition now, we go over the list of special RSD…

The Grammys are in our rearview mirror. Here in the Great White North, that means it’s time for the Canadian equivalent, The Junos. Of course, the only category that means anything to Metalheads is the “Hard Rock/Metal Album”. And as is tradition around here, it’s time to play the newly christened “Head or Heart” game. A segment where we share who we’d like to see win. As well, we pick…

“Support The Scene!” isn’t just an old adage or a tired cliche’. Local Metal/Punk scenes aren’t just a source of weekend entertainment. The “scene” is an important breeding ground for young talent to get their chops in before moving on to bigger (“better” will always be subjective). And it’s a great source of weekend entertainment. But the scene needs to thrive to survive. So we all need to do our…

There was a whole buncha (yes, that’s an official unit of measurement) stuff going on in Metaldom this week. So much we couldn’t narrow it down to one specific topic for our discussion segment. So we just thru caution to the wind and layed it all out. We go into “Pantera” being dropped in Germany, a frivolous Marilyn Manson-related lawsuit and Pink Floyd goes “woke”. But most importantly, we announce…

It’s that time again! We like to put a big black bow on the year with our annual Rammy Awards. Sort of our own unique take on the Grammy Awards. The Rammys is our year end showcase where we share our faves of ’22 in the categories that mean the most to Metalheads. Namely, a.o. Band, Album, Song and Live. As well, we have our inductees into the Radioactive Metal…

Goodbye 2022! Hails and Horns to 2023! This new year marks the 40th (!!) anniversary of the year 1983. It was a pivotal year for our beloved genre. There were some major band formations of some of our most renowned outfits. As well, we saw some key album releases that would go to become Metal classics. So we’re ringing in ’23 by doing a deep dive into ’83. In our…

We ended ’22 with some absolutely gut wrenching news. We lost documentarian, journalist and all around great guy, Bob Nalbandian. Bob’s credentials are vast. He’s worked with renowned record labels and wrote for promininent magazines. Most importantly, he was a friend. RAM was on the ground floor in podcasting. As was his “Shockwaves” program. So of course we became fast friends. So this time ’round we forsake most of our…

We love the innovation and creativity that Metaldom never gets from Joe and Jane Average. One such examples is the new Motorhead “Bad Magic” box set. This new take on Lemmy and The Boy’s final full lengther has all kinds of cool goodies. A new track, a live show and an interview with Lemmy himself. But the topper is a ouija board (!) with an “Ace Of Spades” planchette. With…

Every time Metallica releases something new (or when Lars takes a leak for that matter) it seems to get the citizens of Metaldom into a tizzy. For good or bad. And it’s no exception with the release of the new “Lux Aeturna” single and the “72 Seasons” album cover. So we gave it a few spins and we weigh in on all the hub-bub, Bub. But no spoiler. Listen along…

Even internet radio show hosts need a vacation sometime. RAM may have been silent last week but we were hardly slacking ass. We gathered up the Missus and few close friends and hit the Messes Des Morte black metal festival in Montreal. As much as we love Old Scratch’s fave tunes, three straight days was a little much for us. So we enlisted the BM expertise of good friend and…

It’s looking like Record Store Day is getting in on the Black Friday craze. RSD is a fave holiday (yeah we said it). So we’re thrilled to be a getting an extra day out of the deal. As is tradition around here we sat down and went over all the special RSD releases that have our names on them. So pull up the RSD website now, pour a Lemmy and…

The Bay Strikes Back tour has struck. Testament and Death Angel were awesome as always. But this time ’round it was the mighty Exodus selling the show for us. So while we’re still riding the musical high of finally seeing Zetro live for the first time, we decided to give the Toxic Quintet the spotlight treatment. We enlisted the Exodus expertise of one Matt Copper, co-host of our sister show…
