A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) seems to be all the rage right now. Love it or hate it, it seems to have invaded the entertainment world, music being no exception. We do a deep dive into this phenom, with all the techno mumbo jumbo. Who knew back then that the science fiction from The Jetsons would become science reality. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss our recent trip to Texas (No, we didn't go blind). As well, we're once again up for a Manitoba Loud Music Award. Cast your vote at www.loudawards.com (Ambassador of the Year). Musically, we crank new and used from Incantation, Incendiary, Concrete Sox, Heir Apparent, Infest, Doomsday and introduce Sweden's Ignited in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy.

Couple episodes back we discussed the various unique places we've attended a gig. Now we can add "movie theatre" to that list. This past weekend the two Arlington, TX dates from the Metallica M72 tour were simulcast to theatres the world over. We both caught the Sunday show. And decided to go the event with a fine studded wristband. We go over the setlist, our theatre experiences and veer off to places unexpected. In all, a fantastic conversation! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we struggle talking about the recent Batushka gig. Musically, we crank some Onslaught, Whiplash, Dag Nasty, the aforementioned Batushka, Inepsy, Disciples Of Power, Phantom Lord and we introduce black n rollers Hellfynder in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

After our self imposed hiatus, we're back and ready to rock! But we weren't sitting back and sipping drinks on the beach. We took in some gigs. And hit the theatres and record shops. Oh, and Metallica's debut "Kill 'em All" hit the racks. Not only is "Kill..." one of the most influential albums but its also an old fave of ours. So we decided it would be a great time to dissect this album that helped shape our Metalness. We go over how/when we discovered it, our fave tracks and share some personal stories. Happy Bday, Old Friend!! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we finally caught the '87 "Trick Or Treat" in the theatre. And we took out a subscription to Thunderflixx. Musically, we crank new and used from Blitzkrieg, Hallow's Eve, Septic Death, Ripcordz, Mortal Sin, Cruelty, Wreck-Defy, Stabbing and introduce Winnipeg death metallers Inhumed and Regina punkers Bats Out in our Indie Spotlight! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Horns Up! Episode 750! Another milestone! We've all heard the expression "Classic Rock". We have a fair idea what makes up said music. But can we put a fine pointed horn on it? Is it simply a generational thing? Or do subgenres play into it? And what this "Dad Rock" business? Does it exist? And what are the who's, whats, wheres and whens behind it? It all makes for an interesting (to say the least) conversation. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss record shopping in a brewery (??). Musically, we crank some new and used from Exhumed, Heavy Load, Black Lace, Death Ray Vision, Black Knife, Horrified, Tailgunner and we introduce Red Deer's Hooker Spit in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

If there was a penalty for exceeding a maximum amount of live gigs, we'd be doing hard time. We learned the good way that a gig can be enjoyed beyond the usual venues. Over the years we taken in shows in parking lots, sidewalks, parade floats a.o. That's not even counting the myriad of basement shows. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we reminisce about the "Airheads" flick. Musically, we crank new and used from Vendetta, Marduk, MainEEaxe, Attitude Adjustment, Escuela Grind, Artificial Dissemination and Battle Born! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

As with most genres, the vocalist and axeman seem to be the ones that seem to garner the most attention and accolades. It's the rhythm section that stirs the Metallic drink though. And drummers are the unsung heroes of our beloved genre. So taking a cue from the awesome "High Infidelity" flick, we present our "Top 5" of our favourite skinbeaters. We look at not only technical skill and reputation but influence and impact as well. All making for an interesting list. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we took in the original "Evil Dead" film at the theatre (!) and discuss Aunt Jemima's "box"(??). Musically, we crank new and used from Massacre, Sacrifice, Dead Kennedys, Cryptic Slaughter, Subhumans (UK), Pupil Slicer, Sadistic Vision, Night Legion and we introduce P.E.I.'s Baited in our "Indie Spotlight".

We all love our Heavy Metal. But Metalheads are nothing if not diverse, with a wide variety of interests outside of our album collections. The creators of our beloved genre are no different. Some artists have excelled in their chosen hobbies. This week we discuss which artists and activities we'd love to join in their endeavours. How 'bout "football" with Steve Harris. Golfing with Alice Cooper. Or skating with Pushead himself. The possibilities are endless. And some may just be feasible. Musically, we crank some new and used from Nasty Savage, Deranged, Cloak, Culted, Nocturnal Departure, Rotten U.K., Gamerra and introduce Finnish rockers Magick Touch in this weeks "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Ready to feel old? Remember the early 90s? Well, as of this year, 1993 is 30 effin' years old! Wow! Times flies when you're rocking and rolling. So we figured we'd do a deep dive into three decades ago and discover it wasn't all Seattle, flannel and "hard alternative". The year had a number of amazing albums, band debuts and news stories that rocked Metaldom. Musically, we have a stack of wax from Nile, Mayhem, Propaghandi, Cancer, Reagan Youth, 1349, Bestial Warlust, Electric Wizard and Funeral Mist. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

We're all too familiar with "that person". That individual who insists they "know it all" regardless of the topic at hand. As Metalheads it's particularly irritating when these posers try horning in on beloved genre. But's there's always a way to trip them up. Heavy Metal is ripe with trivia that is common knowledge to us but would expose any claims-to-be. Namely, a Sabbath vocalist not named Dio or Ozzy. Or Kirk Hammett's pre Metallica band. You get the idea. In our "News, Views and Tunes" we celebrate "Ghostbuster's Day", discuss "Flesh Gordon" (!!) and fanboy out for Spider Punk. Musically, we crank new + used from Dan Lorenzo (ex-Hades), 7 Seconds, Glass Casket, Lord Vigo, Elder Devil, Thantifaxath, and introduce Texas grinders Molly Ringworm (!!!) in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

As a follower of Heavy Metal, how many times have you heard from a non-believer "It all sounds the same to me." Our response - "You must be tone deaf considering the amount of sub genres that makes up our beloved music." But are there to many? And is it a positive or a negative? This week we dive right into it and sort it all out. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss parenting and book banning and all our activity on the live front. Musically, we crank new and used from Tygers Of Pan Tang, Black Dahlia Murder, Terror, Pantychrist, Fuming Mouth and we introduce Winnipeg glam/punk/trash/popsters The Castagne's. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
