This episode is a Good News/ Bad News situation. The Good News - The "Muppet Mayhem" TV series is up on Disney+. Being veteran Gen Xers, we'll always have a soft spot in our Metal Hearts for The Muppet Show. Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem were the house band for said show. And this show sees our fave band of Muppets trying to cut their long overdue debut. We tore thru the show with the eagerness of a 10 yr. old and give our 2 cents. Now The Bad News - We lost one of the all time greats in Tank's Algy Ward. Tank's influence on Metaldom cannot be disputed. So we took a few moments to say "Horns Up!" Crank some Tank tonight! Musically, we spin some of the aforementioned Tank (and the Evo/Algy project), The Rods, Random Killing, Mother Fvckers, World Eater and we introduce Vancouver metallers Medevil in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

The month of May kicks ass! The first couple weeks has a couple kick ass events that caters to the geek in us. Sure we're a Heavy Metal radio show but we don't shy away from discussing some of our there interests. Mat The Fourth is a special day dedicated to all things Star Wars and for fans to celebrate their fandom. Just a few days later was Free Comic Book Day. This special day is the equivalent of Record Store Day. So we share our adventures and the special titles we picked up. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we say "See ya" to MTV News. Musically, we crank some new and used from Vomitory, Hellwitch, Nuclear Death, Blood Of The Sun and Wacken Metal Battle Canada winner Strigampire! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Guitar extraordinaire Nuno Bettancourt recently made headlines. He simply shared that none other than Prince himself once called him one of the Top 3 GOATs to ever bend the six strings. So we thought we'd one up His Highness and take a cue from Jon Kuzak from the awesome "High Fidelity" flick and share our Top 5 picks in both Metal and Rock categories. An interesting chat that you'd be surprised by some of our choices. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss this weekend's Comic Book Day and have an impromptu talk about the Friday The 13th franchise. Musically, we crank some wicked tunes from Knoll, Wytch Hazel, Solanum, Gel and Necrotic Ritual. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Record Store Day 2023 is in the books. An awesome time was had by all. And we got a stack o' wax to commemorate the event. So now we're stoked to share our bounties and the stories that go along with them. Who knew just a trip to the record store would produce such cherished memories. Actually we did. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we got up on our soap box about those dastardly RSD record flippers!! Musically, we crank some tunage from Possessed, Jello Biafra w/ DOA, The Donnas, Century, Cardiac Arrest and introduce France's Livin' Evil in our "Indie Spotlight".

The #1 topic in all of Metaldom is the new Metallica album. "72 Seasons" dropped late last week. And just like the last umpteenth albums from Lars and the Boys, the album has proven to be very divisive. But regardless of where you plant your flag with Camp Metallica, they always make for great conversation. This time out, we both lucked out and our local record shops had album listening parties and we bought the vinyl at the stroke of midnight. So we give the album the once over and rank the album amongst the rest of their vast catalog. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we hit the movie theatres and celebrate Halloween In April (!!). Musically, we crank new and used from Kruelty, Air Raid, Dryad, (80s) Witch and introduce Necronomicon ExMortis (just in time for the new "Evil Dead" flick) in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

There was metric ton of stuff going down in Metaldom this week. So we couldn't narrow it down to just one topic. This time 'round we get into the Bud Light/Kid Rock debacle, the Motley Crue/ Mick Mars legal mumbo jumbo, the "This is Hardcore" fest line up and, most importantly, we put the word out for a friend in need. In our "News, Views and Tunes', we share war stories from the live front and a new(!) K-Tel (!!) vinyl album. Musically, we crank some new and used from Smoulder, Gorilla Biscuits, Day Glo Abortions, Aftermath, Satans Host, Prowl and Majesties. Horns up and Stay Healthy!

There was really only one issue this to discuss this week. The tragedy at the Morbid Angel gig in Illinois is taking up the most space in the hearts and minds of the citizens of Metaldom. So this week we decided to simply pay tribute to our fallen comrade. Be sure to go to gofundme.com and do your part in helping the loved ones of Fred Livingston Jr. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we take in some Death Match wrasslin and crank some new and used from Destructor, Daath, Micawber, Hexx, Sabbatory, Thunderspell, Damage Control and introduce Kilmore in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

RAM is no stranger to the idea of the "house show". We've littered our "Metal Fix" with our experiences. But for the uninitiated, a house show is just as it sounds. A gig in someone's house, generally the basement, as opposed to a club or small hall. And they're always a lot of fun! We have another one coming up (on 4/20 even!!) So we figured it would be a great time to share some of our ideas of putting on house shows in some more public and pop culture houses and buildings. Think the Amityville Horror house. The White House. The Ghostbusters firehouse. And 1428 Elm Street! In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss our awesome Friday night! Musically, we crank some new and used from Hellripper, Rotten Sound, Bootlicker, Virtue, Inferion, Direct Action, Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre and introduce Arkansas' Mortals in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

It's an old story we've all heard before. The legendary KISS have announced (again) that they're packing up their make up kit and going home. Whatever you believe, Gene and The Boys have announced the final (?) 50 dates on the "End of the Road" tour finishing up in the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden. So with that we do a deep dive into these historic final gigs. We compare tix prices, which venues we'd love to see our last KISS show and the German "controversy" over the logo SSs. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we do a bit of Gear Talk and reintroduce ourselves to Count Floyd!! Musically, we crank some new and used from Sortilege, Parasite(84), The Donnas, Spectral Wound, Heavens Gate, Reckless(Can), Category VI and introduce trad metallers Reckless in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
