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!

Which records are you looking forward too? Musically, we crank RSD tunes and some new + used from Agnostic Front, G.B.H., Savage Grace, Despised Icon, Undeath, Gatekeeper, Zombified and we introduce Abaddonia in this week's "Indie Spotlight".

The Grammys are in our rearview mirror. Here in the Great White North, that means it's time for the Canadian equivalent, The Junos. Of course, the only category that means anything to Metalheads is the "Hard Rock/Metal Album". And as is tradition around here, it's time to play the newly christened "Head or Heart" game. A segment where we share who we'd like to see win. As well, we pick who we think will win. So with Aaron on a short sabbatical, we've enlisted the help of Snowy's "Wrestling Night In Canada" co-hosts Matt Copper and Dustin Maruca. And the winner is... In our "News, Views and Tunes", we give our 2 cents on Ozzy's recent Grammy wins. Musically we crank new tunage from Phobia, Wake, Get The Shot, Kruller and Horrible Earth. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!

"Support The Scene!" isn't just an old adage or a tired cliche'. Local Metal/Punk scenes aren't just a source of weekend entertainment. The "scene" is an important breeding ground for young talent to get their chops in before moving on to bigger ("better" will always be subjective). And it's a great source of weekend entertainment. But the scene needs to thrive to survive. So we all need to do our part. So this week we have a laundry list of Dos and Don'ts everyone should employ for the betterment of the scene. Some are obvious, some are a little more outside the box. But all are important. In our "News, Views and Tunes', we mark out over the new Wednesday series. Musically, we crank bunch of new tunage from Siege Of Power, All Out War, Dead Quiet, Phantom Spell, Carnal Savagery, Take It In The Blood, Phantom Killing and introduce Thunder Bay's(!) Alienator in the "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

There was a whole buncha (yes, that's an official unit of measurement) stuff going on in Metaldom this week. So much we couldn't narrow it down to one specific topic for our discussion segment. So we just thru caution to the wind and layed it all out. We go into "Pantera" being dropped in Germany, a frivolous Marilyn Manson-related lawsuit and Pink Floyd goes "woke". But most importantly, we announce some cool upcoming tours. And the whys and wherefores behind them. 2023 is gonna be lit!! In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we dive into the new "That 90s Shows" and hit the comic shops. Musically, we crank new and used from Black Dahlia Murder, Atrocity, Exorcist, Spitboy, Nachtlich and Phobophillic. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

It's that time again! We like to put a big black bow on the year with our annual Rammy Awards. Sort of our own unique take on the Grammy Awards. The Rammys is our year end showcase where we share our faves of '22 in the categories that mean the most to Metalheads. Namely, a.o. Band, Album, Song and Live. As well, we have our inductees into the Radioactive Metal Hall Of Fame. So now pour a Lemmy and help us celebrate all that was in 2022! Musically, we crank some new and used from Sacrifice, Slaughter (Can), Jaguar, Nunslaughter, Scars of Strophy, Corrosive and Thunderor! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!

Goodbye 2022! Hails and Horns to 2023! This new year marks the 40th (!!) anniversary of the year 1983. It was a pivotal year for our beloved genre. There were some major band formations of some of our most renowned outfits. As well, we saw some key album releases that would go to become Metal classics. So we're ringing in '23 by doing a deep dive into '83. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we hit up our first show of the year (a house show, no less). Musically, we crank some new and used from Witchery, Manilla Road, Abysmal Lord, Warrant (Ger.), S.O.B., Malhavoc, Hellion, Shining Wizard and Mother Of Graves! Horns Up, Stay Healthy and Happy New Year!

We ended '22 with some absolutely gut wrenching news. We lost documentarian, journalist and all around great guy, Bob Nalbandian. Bob's credentials are vast. He's worked with renowned record labels and wrote for promininent magazines. Most importantly, he was a friend. RAM was on the ground floor in podcasting. As was his "Shockwaves" program. So of course we became fast friends. So this time 'round we forsake most of our segments and just talk Bob. We go over his "Inside Metal" doc series, his old school "Headbanger" 'zine and all our interactions with him. Musically, we have a Fistful of Bob approved Metal including Blind Illusion, Laaz Rockitt, Hirax, Abattoir, Savage Grace, Omen, Cloven Hoof, Witchfynde and Hell Witch. Rest In Power, Bob! We love you!

We love the innovation and creativity that Metaldom never gets from Joe and Jane Average. One such examples is the new Motorhead "Bad Magic" box set. This new take on Lemmy and The Boy's final full lengther has all kinds of cool goodies. A new track, a live show and an interview with Lemmy himself. But the topper is a ouija board (!) with an "Ace Of Spades" planchette. With the idea of using it to contact Lemmy himself! So it gave us the idea of who else we'd like to contact from beyond the Metal grave. And what we'd like to ask them. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss "Big Bulbs" (?), the upcoming GG Allin biopic and "Gremlins 2" (??) Musically, we crank some new and used from Bathory, Bloodclot, Master, Embalm, Lacerated, Jennie Tebler's Out Of Oblivion and introduce Sithlord in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Merry Christmas!!

Every time Metallica releases something new (or when Lars takes a leak for that matter) it seems to get the citizens of Metaldom into a tizzy. For good or bad. And it's no exception with the release of the new "Lux Aeturna" single and the "72 Seasons" album cover. So we gave it a few spins and we weigh in on all the hub-bub, Bub. But no spoiler. Listen along with us. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we checked out the Claudio Simonetti's Goblin's "Suspiria" 45th anniversary tour, go over our RSD - Black Friday haul and "A Christmas Story" (??!!). Musically, we crank some new and used from Destroyer 666, Leatherwolf, Necromantia, Bestial Mockery, Azarath, Morbikon and The Crippler. Merry F'n Xmas!!
