Episode 568: Crown Of Horns - interview with Black Crown Initiate
Friday Aug 16, 2019
Friday Aug 16, 2019
Black Crown Initiate are freakin' road warrior! We encountered "The Boys" a number of times over the past few years on one tour or another. Their most recent stop in town was their first headlining and their latest before their Century Media debut drops. So it was a good time to finally speak with them. We had a quick couple Lemmys with axe/vox Ash Thomas before we sat to talk BCI. We spoke of the new CM deal, we throw out our own ZZTop/Gillette challenge and share a laugh over a road story. Good times! In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the Ohio mass shooting/pornogrind issue and a very KISSish looking farm animal. Musically, we crank some indie BCI, the new Gatecreeper, new NoMas, Terrorizer, Lady Beast. Inferi, Magurdergrind, and introduce Ottawa metallers TripleMurder in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 567: What We're Tolkien About - interview with Numenorean
Friday Aug 09, 2019
Friday Aug 09, 2019
It's got to be the geography. Much like their Scandinavian counterparts, the Great White north seems to be the perfect climate (literally and figuratively) for creating cool Black Metal. Case in point - Canadian (post) black metallers Numenorean. Now with their second Season Of Mist recording "Adore" under their belts, the outfit is ready to do some major damage. During the band's recent stop in town we sat down with not one, not two, but all six (!!) members. We discussed their rather geeky origins of their monicker, their ideas of modern Black Metal, and how local boys made good. Another Metal feel good story. As well we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the mighty "Ride The Lightning". An album that holds a particular place in our Metal Heart, we dissect and go over the whys and wherefores of this important record. Musically we crank the latest Numenorean plus cool stuff from Gaahl's Wyrd, Wormed, GAZM, and Phil Anselmo's new outfit En Minor. Horns!!

Friday Aug 02, 2019
Friday Aug 02, 2019
The first time we spoke with Prosthetic recording artists Wormwitch it was a memorable occasion. They killed it live supporting the legendary Suffocation. Fast forward a few years and WW are back with a new record, more experience, and a headlining tour of their own. As a bonus, this time we caught up with all three Wormwitchers. We discussed the new record "Heaven That Dwells Within", the growth of the band, and share a road story of the wrong kind of sex in "Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll" (!!). In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss Metal and Punk bands that have crossed over (not "crossover") to the other's audience. Musically, we crank the new WW, plus Enthroned, Enforced, Cropsy Maniac, Tripsitter, some classics from Nuclear Assault, Dead Kennedys and Ludichrist. Finally, we introduce Canadian punkers Pervcore in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 565: Hatriot Games - interview with Hatriot
Friday Jul 26, 2019
Friday Jul 26, 2019
The Souza name needs no introduction to The Metal World. Steve "Zetro" Souza has attained legendary with the underground for his brilliant work with the mighty Exodus. But his legacy (see what i did there) will live on in the form of Hatriot. Already no stranger to this show, Hatriot is the side project Zetro formed with his sons Cody and Nick. Now with Exodus taking up so much of the elder Souza's time, the band has been left in the capable hands of his offspring. With the new record "From Days Unto Darkness" just hitting the racks, we got Cody Souza on the horn. We discussed the new album, the band monicker in today's political climate, and The Bay Area yesterday and today. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the Tool/bieber thing, The Metallica tix fiasco, and heavy metal underwear(?)!! Musically we crank the new Hatriot, Tomb Mold, Visceral Disgorge, Spirit Adrift, Endless Chaos, a classic from Epidemic, and we introduce BornBroken in our "Indie Spotlight".

Episode 564: Tie Your Metal Down
Friday Jul 19, 2019
Friday Jul 19, 2019
The recent Rob Miller/holocaust denier controversy has been causing quite a stir in the Metal underground. When it came to our attention last episode, things were still up in the air as to what exactly was going on. One of our fave heroines, right behind Doro Pesch and Jo Bench of course, is the mighty Wonder Woman. The Amazonian's "Lasso Of Truth" proves to be an effective weapon is questioning unsavories. It made us think of the possibilities of using it upon Metaldom and getting a straight answer on some burning questions. Who would we use it on? What would we ask them? Being "Creature Feature" - less it made for some pretty interesting conversation. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we give our support to oppressed Iranian metallers Confess and go over the new season of Banger TV's "Shredders Of Metal". Musically we crank cool tune from Abbath, Batushka, Outer Heaven, Pelican, Torso, Bleach Everything and introduce Canadian metalllers Widow's Peak in our "Indie Spotlight"! Horns!

Episode 563: Battleground - interview with Centuries Of Decay
Friday Jul 12, 2019
Friday Jul 12, 2019
Its an honour just to compete in the Waken Metal Battle Canada. It's right off the bloody hook if you win the whole shebang and get to strut your stuff on the Wacken stage. Victorious in the 2018 edition was Toronto's Centuries Of Decay. Normally we reserve our "Creature Feature" segment for more established acts (i.e. signed). But when an act with a story to tell like C.O.D. steps up then we gotta step up ourselves. During the outfit's recent stop in our neck of the woods we sat down with axe/vox Devin Doucette. We discussed competing in the Battle then the subsequent gig at Wacken! We're so stoked for them! In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss fun in the Behemoth pit and go off on the recent Tau Cross controversy. Musically we crank some Centuries..., Victims, Immortal Bird, Amon Amarth, Flash Out, and introduce Elektric Mistress in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 561: Under Cover
Friday Jun 28, 2019
Friday Jun 28, 2019
Heavy Metallers are a more discerning group of music lovers. Of course its the awesome tunes that count. But Metalheads appreciate the complete package. Now with the rebirth of the mighty vinyl, packaging and presentation is once again an important part of the musical Metal journey. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is the album cover. While a lot of sub par genres like pop and country are content with a boring band pic, Heavy Metal has a rich history of beautiful artwork. A lot of the time this artwork becomes synonymous with the band itself. This week we sit down with some Lemmys and share our lists of the most Iconic album covers of the genre's illustrious history. We go into extra innings but we guarantee you'll be thinking of RAM the next time your in the music shop. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we celebrate "Go Skateboarding Day" and christen a RAM alum and honorary Canadian!! Musically, we crank new tunes from Saint Vitus, Sekkusu, and Temple Of The Witch. As well as some classics from Bathory, Minor Threat and Beyond Possession!! Horns!!
