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…

I guess we just can’t get enough Marta! Earlier this year we spoke with Crystal Viper vox Marta Gabriel. We discussed the band’s latest effort “The Cult”. Not one to rest on her laurels, Mrs. Gabriel followed that up right away, dropping a cool comp. of covers. “Metal Queens” pays tribute to all the amazing vocalists that helped shape Marta’s awesomeness. This time we discussed the new record and all…

We’ve never hidden our love of Decibel magazine. We’ve been monthly readers/subscribers for years now. We’ve chatted about it endlessly and have interviewed contributors. A fave regular feature has been the Metal Muthas column, where the mother of a prominent artist is interviewed. Well…we thought we’d give it a go ourselves. Our fandom of legendary deathmongers Nuclear Death goes back decades. Our friendship with mainperson Lori Bravo has really blossomed…

Unfortunately, this week Aaron was unable to join us. So with his blessing, your “Cool Uncle Snowy” set out and enlisted a suitable co host. Death Metal trailblazer (and good friend) Lori Bravo (ex-Nuclear Death) has dropped her amazing new solo album “Bare Bones”. So it made for a perfect opportunity to get her back on the show again. We discuss the new album, her almost relationship with Autopsy’s Chris…

Last year we were blown away from Calif. crusties Destroyed In Seconds latest album “Divide And Devour”. D.I.S. have a cool crossover sound that appeals to Metalheads and Punks alike. It took awhile but Deep Six Records came correct and released a sweet vinyl edition of said album. We were so stoked with the presentation we had to speak with vox Jon Tamala. He gave us the dis and dat…

“I love it when that happens!” These were the enthusiastic words spilling out of our mouths when we found out we were going to be speaking with German thrash veterans Desaster. On the day of the release of the outfit’s new album!!! “Churches Without Saints” is full lenghter #9 (!!) from these Teutonic Terrors. And while some of their fellow country brethren might get the lion share of the attention,…

Run! Run! 5-0! 5-0! No, “The Man” hasn’t finally secured that long overdue arrest warrant. Your “Cool Uncle Snowy” has officially become “Old Man Snowy” as he hits the half century mark. So to commemorate this event we decide to forego most of our segments, pour some Lemmys and just rock out! To help celebrate we are joined by old friend and Pure Rock Radio head honcho Rich Embury. Between…

Our beloved genre is fuelled by passion. Sometimes it’s this passion that drives fans to do some crazy things. Case in point – “Rag’R” super fan Mitch. Banger TV YouTube series “Heavy Metal Hitchhiker” focus’ on this good hearted gas attendant’s race against time to return a guitar to his heroes and be given a roadie job in return. And of course, it’s comedy of errors and hilarity ensues. We’re…
