Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. Verbally, we all have our own words and expressions. Metaldom is no exception. If anything we have more unique words in our verbal arsenal than Joe Average. Off the top of our heads, “Axe” (for guitar) comes to mind. So with that starting point, we dive into a laundry (all black, of course) list of slang descriptive words. How many of these…

You can literally count on one hand the years the mighty Slayer have been disbanded. Now an impending reunion for multiple festival dates have been announced. Needless to say, this has Metaldom all a buzz. And of course once the announcement was made, the interwebs was flooded with misinformation causing confusion. So this week we pick our way through the mirth. Is this too soon to be an official reunion?…

As we yacked about last episode, 1984 was an amazing year for Metaldom. A major part of that awesomeness was the incredible amount of new records that filled the new release racks. So with these albums celebrating their 40th anniversary, we decided to give some of them the deep dive treatment. KISS’ “Animalize” is an album near and dear to our Metal Hearts, for different reasons. So we go over…

How does the time fly? 1984 was an incredible year for Metaldom. The new release racks were filled with albums that are not only all time classics now, but helped shape the Metal world as we know it today. So this week we do a deep dive into that year that was. Apart from the amazing records, there were an obscene amount of mandatory outfits that formed. And there were…

It’s that time again. The nominees for this year’s Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame have been announced. This list always to seem raise both the eyebrows and ire of music fans. Its an ongoing debate whether The Hall should still be monickered “Rock n Roll” because of the inclusion of other genres. But every list has enough meat on the bone to warrant discussion. We dissect the list and…

Bucket List moment! The ’79 Ramones teen comedy “Rock n Roll High School” is an old fave of ours. We have it on DVD, various streaming platforms and have it practically memorized. But we never got to see it in the theatre…until now. Our local arthouse theater aired it is as part of their Cult Movie Night. So with the experience still fresh in our minds we decided to deep…

The debut full lengther from the almighty Venom “Welcome To Hell” is one of the most influential underground albums ever. Not only in the Black Metal realm but thrash and NWOBHM as well. Its also the album that turned Snowy to Metal full time. We’ve often said “No Venom, No RAM”. Turns out though, Aaron wasn’t familiar with this classic (!). So we decided to take a deep dive into…

Sure streaming is ruling the roost when it comes to how music is consumed. But the vinyl album is slicing their piece of the pie more and more. Metalheads have always been more album oriented as opposed to just cherry picking a few tracks. And for good reason. There have been numerous albums over the years that are best served whole. Albums that are 100% bangers with no one reaching…

We admit it, we’re old. But with age comes experience. We’ve witnessed firsthand the majority of the techno marvels we take for granted today. One of our faves was the rise of the home video phenomenon. It was a fun and exciting era. We had the ability to see our favourite flicks at home. As well, it had its effects on Metaldom. This week we go over some of the…

Whoo-Hoo!! It’s time for our annual Rammy Awards! Kind of our take on the Grammys Awards (R.A.M…Gammy…Rammy. We’re so clever). Basically, we give our picks of the past year in the categories that mean the most to Metalheads. Fave Band, Album, Song, Live Show a.o. As well, we make our inductions into The Radioactive Metal Hall Of Fame for Band, Album and what we cal the Myth And Legend. Give…

New Year’s Eve was pretty low key around the RAM offices. We had a night of PJs and popcorn. So we decided this year we would save the partying for you the listeners. We ditched our usual segments and broke out the Lemmys. As we “tipped the elbow”, we discussed a variety of topics. Those included our new “Frankenstein” bass, our Christmas hauls, “The Iron Claw” flick, 80s soundtracks, and…

As of this episode, the year is starting to wind down. But before you start rockin’ in the New Year, now is a good time to discuss some of the events that made 2023 the year that was. Without stepping on the Rammy Award’s steel toed boots, we figured we’d share the awesome albums that provided our personal soundtracks. We also pay tribute to some of our fallen comrades. We…
