If there is one thing we love the most about doing your fave radio show, it’s got to be asking our fave artists questions. Interviews are the life’s blood of this show. We love picking the brains of our esteemed guests and entertaining our listeners. The announcement of the Bruce Dickinson spoken word tour having a fan interaction Q&A segment got our creative juices flowing. One day we’d like to…

Oh, how the mighty has…risen! When we first discovered French metallers Gojira, they were pretty much just another underground outfit with loads of potential. Now over the years, thru hard rock and one killer release after another, these behemoths are one of Metal’s darlings. The new album “Fortitude”, debuted in top spots all through out Billboards relevant categories. And now the band is currently killing it on the road. Having…

What a pleasant surprise that none other than Bruce Dickinson is scheduled to be doing a spoken word tour. We’re sure lots of mainstream Iron Maiden fans are scratching their heads going “Huh? Who wants to pay money just to hear him talk?” The more underground fans already know how fun and interesting these type of shows are, having enjoyed Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins doing them for years now….

The kids have trick or treated. Costumes have been put away. Cherished memories of Halloween celebrations have been filed for ever. But all Hallow’s Eve ain’t over yet!! Here at the RAM offices, we’re not ready to release our demons into the Nov. 1st sunlight. So being a music show, we grabbed a Clawful of (some of our fave) Metal. All appropriate to keep your October spirits undead. In between…

Happy Halloween! The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! We’ve had another awesome October and it culminates now. The legendary Misfits are the quintessential Halloween band. And our Halloween weekend is being kicked off by catching a Misfits tribute act. Psycho 78 is a band of local “misfits” from a number of local punk bands. So we sat down with Evan, William, Scott, and Drew to talk…

“It’s Party Time!!” It’s no secret that the amazing zombie punk flick “Return Of The Living Dead” is an all time fave around the RAM offices. The classic horror comedy has it all – zombies, splatter, “Scream Queen” Linnea Quigley, and, of course, a kick ass soundtrack! So this Halloween season we ‘re going to pay tribute to ROTLD with another watch along. The idea is simple. Download this episode…

When we woke up this morning, it was ’83 all over again! The much discussed Satanic Panic era had the legendary Iron Maiden firmly placed as Public Enemy #1. Mainstream American media salivated over Bruce and The Boys break thru record “Number Of The Beast” do to it’s “controversial” (Ha!) monicker and artwork. Fast forward almost forty years later and we see some things never change. An Ontario high school…

“Two doctors walk into a bar…a pair of docs”. Ok, we’re mixing up bad jokes here but you get the idea. To the Metal World though, Paradox is an awesome veteran band spawned from the legendary 80s German thrash scene. Paradox have a new platter on the shelves in the form of “Heresy 2 – End Of The Legend”. A worthy sequel to their most famous record. So we sat…

Until now, Spanish thrashers Crisix were barely a blip on our musical radar. Well that’s on us. Once we investigated further we were blown away by their old school thrash. And the outfit’s new Listenable release “The Pizza EP” has been getting multiple spins in the RAM offices. So we got vox Juli Bazooka on the horn to explore this unique effort. We get into the concept of the record…

With the rise of superhero movies dominating the box office, these days it seems like it’s almost fashionable to be a geek. Veteran death metaller Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Pounder) was a geek long before being a geek was cool. Mr. Harvey grew up on horror/ monster movies, sci-fi and comic books. So being the talented musician he is, his latest project was inevitable. “The Last Son Of Krypton” is an…

It’s the fall season. So that means we’re gearing up for most Metalhead’s favourite time of the year – Halloween!! But this most sacred of daze doesn’t begin and end on Oct. 31st. There’s much to do in prep for The Big Day. This week we’ve compiled a list of movies to view, comics to read, costumes to procure and all the activities to get you in the Halloweening mood….

Normally when using words like “cringe” and “creepy” with regards to our beloved genre, it’s used in a more artistic and horror related manner. Death and Goth Metal aside, a few of the more mainstream Heavy Rock/Metal artists have put pen to paper and come up with some rather cringeworthy lyrics. Call it art from a different era, if you will. Nonetheless, some classic songs (KISS, The Nuge, Winger a.o.)…
