If you’re listening to this on Day One, Happy July 1st – Canada Day! There’s no better way to enjoy the holiday than with an interview with a legendary Canadian punk band. Day Glo Abortions are no strangers to RAM. Vox/Axeman Murray The Cretin has graced us with his presence so often now we should just set up a cot beside our recording mic. It was a long sweltering night,…
It almost feels like Halloween in June around here. You can’t help but feel that way in the prescence of Micheal Hill, he of Tombs fame. The Season of Mist recording artist had a recent stop with Origin and Abysmal Dawn. We were eager to talk to Mr. Hill as we have more than just good music in common. We discussed the new “Ex Oblivion” EP, finding their home with…
This week’s interview has been long time coming. Abysmal Dawn axe/vox Charles Elliot has been an ally and asset to this show for a number of years now. So when AD came thru town we were stoked for an opportunity for an in person “action” interview with the LA death metaller. We discussed the new EP, the current tour with Origin and the outfit’s place in the Metal scene. As…
Over the years, the legendary Sex Pistols have become a polarizing topic. The Pistols are Punk rock trailblazers. But the outfit have had their sheer of critiques over being a marketing ploy to sell the latest “punk” fashion. As well, vocalist Johnny Rotten has come under fire for betraying his punk ethics in his later life. Regardless of the yays or nays, it cannot be denied that the Pistols story…
How do you follow up a legendary “Bucket List” interview? How about with a Juno Award winner! Joining last week’s “Creature Feature” Exciter at the Manitoba Metalfest was Canuck trad metallers Striker! So now is a great time to get caught up with former RAM alum vox Dan Cleary. We discussed winning said award and the “Strike Her!” gag from the classic “Airplane” flick. Last episode we took the Nuge…
Like the lady said…”We’re so excited!” First off, this is another milestone with episode 700!! Plus, we recently experienced a night of firsts at the recent Manitoba Metalfest. It was the first time the legendary Exciter played our neck of the woods. It was the first time we’ve seen the classic line up live. And finally, it was the first time we had the good fortune of getting drummer/vox Dan…
Heavy Metal comes in all shapes, sounds, forms and sub (sub) genres. But one constant is the electric guitar. The guitar epitomizes Heavy Metal. So if you’re not a well seasoned player, then the guitar could be taken for granted. Or at least to the point where, as fans, we don’t necessarily have a firm grasp on the instrument. 50% of us here at RAM are a said seasoned player….
Another Record Store Day is in the books! In our travels, we had a few misses. But the hits were nuclear! Apart from the cool new official releases, RSD is an overall experience. Hopefully with stories to tell for years to come. So this week we’re sharing said experiences and basking in our RSD treasures. Both official and unofficial. As well, with the arrival of the american idol “reality” type…
When a feature film that focuses on The Metal World is unleashed, it obviously gets said World rocking and rolling about it. Initial reports has the new Netflix flick “Metal Lords” to be a polarizing topic. This week we do a deep dive into this all too familiar story. In our “News, Views, and Tunes”, we hit the live front and drop a huge D.R.I. bomb. Musically, we crank new…
Mr. Dan Lilker recently announced that Nuclear Assault will be hanging up their leather spiked boots soon. Our interest in the outfit actually predates NA themselves as Lilker was the bassist on the Anthrax debut. So we’ve been a fan of the NY crew right from the get go. With this announcement, we felt it was a good time to pay tribute to NA. We go over all our fave…
The legendary Bruce Dickinson is a man of many talents. Most noted for his work in Iron Maiden, Dickinson has shown time and again that he’s so much more. So with such a storied life, Brucie Boy would obviously have a lot of stories to tell. Thus his spoken word tour. With the date in our area come and gone (with memories fully implanted in our brain), this week we’re…
The Curse has been lifted! The Plague has subsided! Praise be The Metal Godz! Concerts are back! We just enjoyed our first NinjaCat Productions show back after the lay off. Many more sonic assaults are looming on the horizon as well. So this episode we decided to share our “Dos and Don’ts” once everyone’s concert schedule hits full stride. Some of these we’ve touched upon before, mainly certain concert etiquette….
