Horns Up and Merry Xmas! To help all our beautiful listeners celebrate the holidays, we decided to do something new. This past Halloween we introduced our very first watch along. This season we present our inaugural listen along? (I guess.) The “We Wish You A Metal X Mas and a Head Banging New Year” Christmas compilations become a holiday staple around the RAM offices. An hour long, 2 record set…

Black metalled Scour are a unique beast. The line up consists of some of the top names in extreme music including (ex) Pantera, Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and Misery Index. Slinging bass for this unholy alliance is RAM alum John Jarvis (AN). The Five Horsemen of the Musical Apocalypse have dropped their new EP, “Black” and Mr. Jarvis told us all about it. We discussed the “all star” concept, recording…

This week’s “Creature Feature” will be most familiar with listeners for his recent (ish) work with the mighty Nile. South Carolina metaller Brian Kingsland was tapped to join the legendary outfit in ’17 and swung his axe for last year’s “Vile Nilotic Rites”. But Mr. Kingsland is padding his resume elsewhere as well. His new project Imperishable dropped it’s first single in anticipation of a 2021 EP. The tune is…

We remember the first time Finnish melodic death metallers Mors Principium Est came to our attention. The outfit was the first tune on a European metal mag’s (we want to say Metal Hammer ??) promo comp. Their unique monicker stuck in our brains and never left. So now, with the band having dropped their latest album “Seven”, we got on the horn with vox Ville Viljanen to get the first…

Schools…in(?) This week we find ourselves on the other side of the mic. Mr. Mark Buell is an old friend and RAM alum who joined us in celebrating all that is Rush after the passing of Neil Peart (Epi. 590). Well, Mark recently hit us up for a favour. His son Issac was assigned a school project of creating his own podcast. Choosing the subject of the “History Of Heavy…

Another one off the ole’ “Bucket List”!! Our fandom with extreme pioneers Nuclear Death goes back to the turn of the ’90s. The terrorific trio just released two killer records on the old Wild Rags Records label and had the attention of stereos throughout the underground. In another long time coming chat, we sat down with vox/bassist Lori Bravo. We could now write her biography as she regaled us with…

When we were offered a chance to speak with black/thrashers Pulchra Morte, we jumped at it. We were expecting we’d be hearing from vox Adam Clemens. But we were pleasantly surprised when axeman Jarrett Pritchard called. Mr. Pritchard not only has extensive experience in the underground, but he’s also a producer extraordinaire. He’s turned the knobs for some of our fave artists. We discussed the new record “Ex Rosa Ceremonia”…

All Hail Odin!! Just last year we had the good fortune of having Leaves Eyes vocalists Alex Krull and Elina Sirralla on the show as they passed thru town. Now this year LE are helping us cope with this craziness with a cool new album. “The Last Viking” is an absolute battleshipburner of a record! So we jumped at the chance of having Mr.Krull on the show again. We discussed…

On 10/30/20 We hosted the release party for DiGregorio’s debut album “House of Gregory, Chapter 1”. This episode is an edited version of that presentation. All songs except for “Dark as Night” and “We Search” have been cut down to 30-second previews to give our Podcast audience a taste of what the live show listeners got. Guitarist Suzanne DeCree sat down with us to go track by track through the…

Happy Halloween!! As this episode first hits your earholes, October 31st will be a mere 24 hrs. away. So on the eve of All Hallow’s Eve, we couldn’t think of a more appropriate guest that the resurrected Evildead. The band was the ’86 follow up project for Juan Garcia, who first came to our attention from his stints with Agent Steel and Abattoir. Mr. Garcia may also be familiar with…

If one isn’t a dedicated, die hard Kittie fan, then one might file this week’s “Creature Feature” under “Where Are They Now?” But the quick answer to this might be Mercedes Lander “Never Left”. True while the Kittie camp may be relatively silent right now, there’s plenty going on with the kitty behind the kit. Lander’s (side??) project The White Swan just dropped their fourth EP, “Nocturnal Transmission”. Over the…

‘Tis the season to get spooky! Halloween is upon us. To get us into the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve, we’re doing something a little different for RAM. Welcome to our Inaugural Watch Along Special. Where basically your hosts sit down and enjoy a cool one. We pick a seasonal appropriate flick. Then give our insightful commentary on it. OK, so we had a few drinks and yapped about it….
