Radioactive Metal Snowy White

We have a number of pop culture interests outside our beloved genre. Our fandom in the wonderful world of comic books outdates our residency in Metaldom. Indie comic companies have been clamoring to present stories about and inspired by current Metal artists. There have been some cool crossover stories as well. Think Elvira meets Vincent Price.
So we took our love of "funny books" and thought up some cool crossovers featuring our fave Metal artists. How about Misfits/Scooby Doo, Gwar/XMen and Henry Rollins vs. Wolverine. The ideas are endless. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we lost another Punk legend and regret WrestleMania. Musically, we crank some Tyr, Thor, Trespass, Drop Dead, Witch Hazel, Victor Crowley and Personality Crisis. Horns Up!!

Regrets, we've had a few. The biggest regrets we've had with RAM is the passing of some legendary figures before we had the chance to sit down with them. We can only imagine what questions we would have picked their brains with.
So now we're doing the next best thing. We compiled a list of deceased artists and present a question we'd like to throw at them. Artists like Dee Dee Ramone, Chuck of Death and El Duce(!!). What question would you throw to your fave heavenly Headbanger.
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we hit the live front, found a copy of the original Marvel KISS comic and pay tribute to a local Punk legend. Musically, we crank some Necophagia, Attacker, Mentors, Pentagram, Dogs With Jobs, Scavenger, Fetid Grave, Cell and Mung. Horns Up!

Welcome to our second installment of our Deep Dive series on all the awesome albums celebrating their 40th anniversary i.e. from '84.
This week we're looking at Rush's "Grace Under Pressure". This was a divisive effort as the legendary trio shifted from 70s prog to a more 80s look and sound. This album didnt spend a lot of time on our turntables. So we enlisted the services of our resident Rush connoisseur Mark Buell. Mr. Buell plys his trade with Connect Humanity, an organization dedicated to bring the internet to communities facing that challenge. So we put our heads together to straighten out all the whys and wherefores of this amazing record.
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss "The Godfather" film and hail the return of "The Savage Sword of Conan" magazine. Musically, we crank some new + used from Razor, Vulture, Stretch Marks, Horndal, Convict (Can), Corpus Vile and Antichrist Siege Machine. And in our "Indie Spotlight" we spin long defunct Canadian punkers D.A.C. Horns Up!

Horns!! One of our special days is fast approaching! Record Store Day is a huge part of this show and our lives. The main idea behind RSD is to support your local record shop. To help getcher butts into the shops, every year there is a number of RSD exclusive releases for your listening pleasure. There is something for everyone but generally only a few titles for us. So as is annual tradition now, we hit up www.recordstoreday.com to help us decide what new records are turning our crank. Go to the website, find the list and "dig" with us. Which records are you grabbing? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we get drenched at Gwar and acknowledge "Thin Lizzy Day". Musically, we crank some Witchginder General, Ghoul, Jucifer, Derketa and Houwitzer. Horns Up!!

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 do you use everyday? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the numeral "777" and we caught the political protest performance artists Pussy Riot. Musically, we crank new + used from Atrophy, Omen, Hellion, Bloodcum, Iron Curtain, Brat and the aforementioned P***y Riot. Horns Up!

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? Is is something you'd pay big bucks to see in '24? And Horns to Mrs. Arraya for being so entertaining through all this. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss pro wrassler Sting's last match. Musically, we crank some new and used from Midnight, D.R.I., Minor Threat, Bitch, Forgotten Rebels, Sentry, Vexange and we introduce Moncton's Omnivide in our "Indie Spitlight". Horns Up!!
