Radioactive Metal 612: Oh The Insanity! – interview with Insatanity

When death metal veterans Insatanity announced their comeback full lengther “Hymns Of The Gods Before”, we got excited. When it was announced they signed onto good friends of the show CDN Records for it, we were thrilled. When we managed to get bass/vox Chris Lyle on the horn, we went delirious! During our chat with Mr. Lytle we discussed the aforementioned record as it was hitting the racks at that…

Radioactive Metal 611: For The Recently Deceased – interview with King Fowley (Deceased)

Deceased are up to their old tricks again. Going through their vast discography it’s obvious they’re not afraid of the odd cover tune. As evident by their “Rotten To The Core” and “Cadaver Traditions” cover comps. So now with the “Ghostly White” album cycle in the books, good friend of the show Mr. King Fowley, is putting their down time to some good use. Thus “Rotten To The Core…2.” So…

Radioactive Metal 610: Soundin’ Pretty Good – interview with Ronnie Atkins of Pretty Maids

Danish legends Pretty Maids have been on our radar since their ’84 debut. The band always stuck out amongst the underground as they were one of the few bands hailing from Denmark. Throughout the 90’s, as hard rock bands took a hit, Pretty Maids continued to thrive. And are still killing it today. PM’s latest live album “Maid In Japan: Back The Future World” is still fresh on the racks….

Radioactive Metal 609: Twisted Splitter – interview with Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome, Pounder)

We always dug the idea of split albums. It showcases two artists for the price of one and aids in the discovery of great new artists. Even better are you dig both artists. Better still when both bands are fronted by someone you’d call “friend”. Metal meister Matt Harvey is fronting a fistful of great bands. His most notable being Exhumed and Gruesome. “Twisted Horror” is an awesome new split…

Radioactive Metal 608: Angus Who? – interview with ACXDC

During the 80s “Satanic Panic”, a certain Australian hard rock band came under fire for their monicker. Fast forward years later and California powerviolencers ACXDC took the concept and ran with it. We got stoked when the grinders signed on with Prosthetic Records and jumped at the opportunity to speak with vocalist Sergio Amalfitano. At that very moment the new album “Satan Is King” was being put out on the…

Radioactive Metal 607: Metal Makes Us Feel Good – interview with Lord Vigo

German metallers Lord Vigo should be on your radar for a number of reasons. #1. We recently played them. #2. Their unique monicker really stands out. As does their unique epic doom meets NWOBHM sensibilities sound. #3, and most importantly, they’ve got an awesome new album “Danse De Noir” on the racks courtesy of the good folks at High Roller Records. So now’s the time to get vox/(studio) drummer Vinz…

Radioactive Metal 606: Dave’s Right Here, Man! – interview with Slasher Dave (Acid Witch, Slasher Dave)

Slasher Dave is probably most familiar to our listeners as the mainman behind the amazing Acid Witch. But every great artist has a strong versatility to their art. So when Dave’s not killing it with his main gig, his alter ego Slasher Dave creeps out. Dave’s love of all things Horror is never more evident than with the cool sounds this project conjures up. SD’s music is his own instrumental…

Radioactive Metal 605: Beer Me, Please – interview with Chris Dodge (Spazz, Despise You, Trappist)

Once we sat down with grindcore/powerviolence trailblazer Chris Dodge (Spazz, Depise you, Infest), we knew this was going to be a unique episode. Apart from all these amazing projects he’s plied his trade with, Mr. Dodge has left his mark on a variety of other aspects in the aggressive music community. So we sat down and had one helluva chat with the man. We discussed all his musical output, hailing…

Radioactive Metal 604: Speak No Mercy – interview with Unmerciful

You have to strike while the Irons are hot. As this episode first goes to air, US death metalllers Unmerciful’s latest platter “Wrath Encompassed” will only be a week to the day on the racks. So we had to get bassist Jeremy Turner on the horn. We discussed the band’s switch to Willowtip, his live work with Cannibal Corpse, and quizzed him about any potential King Diamond jokes. But I…

Radioactive Metal 603: Ash To Ash – interview with Ash Thomas (Faith Xtractor, Surgikill)

This week we have another veteran we should’ve had on a long time ago. Ash Thomas is a multi instrumentalist who’s been tearing it up in the underground since ’93. Most notable (past?) projects include Crucified Mortals and Archeron. Today Mr. Thomas is killing it with killer outfits like Hell’s Headbangers Faith Xtractor and Shed The Skin. As well as Surgikill featuring Steve O from the legendary Impetigo! With his…

Radioactive Metal 602: Creepin’ Us Out – interview with Creeping Death

Whats in a name? With their chosen monicker, no doubt young death metal guns Creeping Death have received more than their share of detractors. But to write this outfit off as mere clones would definitely be wrong. In a short period of these Texas bashers are really starting to come into their own. Creeping Death made waves last year with their debut full lengther “Wretched Illusions”. On eOne, no less!…

Radioactive Metal 601: Flash Of The Scythe – interview with Reaper Metal Productions

“Heavy Metal finds a way”. We’re paraphrasing here a bit but the sentiment remains true. With all this crazy covd stuff going on, our beloved genre is still finding ways to entertain us. At the forefront are our good buddies with Reaper Metal Productions. RMP mainman Reaper (d’uh) is no stranger to the show having graced us in the past discussing his various musical projects. Now RMP has a myriad…
