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.)…

The RAM office was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Eric Wagner. Mr. Wagner was most noted as the founder and frontman of the legendary Trouble. The Doom metallers have a special place in our Metal Hearts, so we wanted to pay tribute. Former co host Roch was the creator and host of our awesome “Album Autopsy” series. The first episode focused on the amazing self titled,…

We found ourselves sans “Creature Feature” again this week. But no matter, as there was enough going on in the World of Heavy Metal to grab our attention. The month of August has some off the beaten path anniversaries. Death Metal legends Cannibal Corpse dropped their infamous debut this month in ’90. As well, this is the 20th anniversary of Go-Gos vocalist Belinda Carlisle appearing Playboy(!) But honestly… we read…

Welcome to the week after The Big One! Following our monumental 666th episode, the music world celebrated another milestone. It was the 40th anniversary of the debut of MTV. Of course even in those early years MTV never meant much to Metal fans. Apart from the Headbanger’s Ball, the only thing of interest was the fact that some of the coolest vids were constantly being barred from airplay. So we…

As one of the longest running podcasts (of any kind), Radioactive Metal continues to roll. Of course, only a Metal program would acknowledge episode 666 as a milestone. After 665 episodes, we are here – The Big One! To celebrate we got “the band back together” and tapped former co hort Roch to co host. We cracked open some bevies and reminisced about some of our fave memories. We go…

We’re always looking for that unique interview guest. Band interviews are the bread and butter of this show. But there are so many unsung areas all with a story of their own. Enter – Jade Willow. Miss. Willow is a “D.I.Y. model”, adult content creator, fellow podcaster and an all ’round interesting person. So we wanted to hear her story first hoof. We get into her modelling, the wonderful world…

Consider this “Alumni Week” here at the U of R.A.M. This weeks music fish wraps were goblet full of great news concerning former Radioactive Metal interview guests. So with a Metal Heart full of pride we focus our attention on those breaking stories. We go over the rumours of Testament’s Steve DiGiorgio taking over bass duties on the new Megadeth album. The awesome news of Exodus drummer Tom Hunting’s successful…

Henceforth, the Quebec Deathfest is going to be a part of our lives. We had such an amazing time last time out, we couldn’t wait to go back. But then the you-know-what hit and the Music Godz reigned hellfire down on our parade. Now the world is opening up again and it’s official – QDF 3 is happening! Sept 30 – Oct 1st of ’22! We’re so stoked we decided…

Another one off the old Bucket List! We discovered Danish heavy rockers Witch Cross in ’84. The same time we went Metal full time. The outfit’s debut album “Fit For Fight” caught our attention right away. So much in fact said album produced one of our fave songs ever! The band’s output has been sporadic over the years. But now WC are back with an amazing new album “Angel of…

Welcome to Radioactive Metal’s second Watch Along. We had such a great time during the Halloween season covering the 80s horror rock film “Trick Or Treat”, we figured we’d give it another go. “Decline of The Western Civilization 2- The Metal Years” is an old fave of ours. This docu film covering the 80s LA metal scene is rich with rock n roll history and a lot of laughs as…
