Friday May 24, 2019
Friday May 24, 2019
Another 'Bucket List" moment! Its beginning to look a lot like '87 'round here with a number of big name artists on the comeback trail. Leading the pack is the mighty Sacred Reich. The thrash veterans have been faves of ours since their awesome debut. Now decades later the Reich are back and ready to dominate once again. Step one - new album. "Awakening" will be hitting the racks this summer. To tide you over, we finally sat down with bass/vox Phil Rind. We get into the new album, inspirations for new material, and the band's relationship with Tony Forresta (Iron Reagan, Municipal Waste). And we have a personal "Thanx" to give him! In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we share tales from the live front and give our condolences on recent Metal tragedies. Musically we crank the new 'Reich plus new tunes from Nocturnus AD, Helevorn, Adrenaline, some classic Goblin, and introduce Regina hardcore bashers FPG in our "Indie Spotlight'! Horns!!

Friday May 17, 2019
Friday May 17, 2019
Better late than never. Canadian metallic noise rockers KEN Mode have obviously been on our radar from the get go. The Season Of Mist recording artists are an established, internationally renowned touting outfit. But they're also hometown heroes only now finally getting their spot on the "Creature Feature" hotseat. Right before hitting the stage in their primo slot at the Manitoba Metalfest, we sat down with all three members of the 'Mode - Jesse Mathewson (vox, axe), Shane Mathewson (drums), and Skot Hamilton (bass). We go over the latest record "Loved", their spot and impact on the Seasons label and just have a whole lotta fun. A highly entertaining chat not to be missed. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the "perfect song" and give the Horns for "Vinnie Paul Day". Musically, we crank the new KEN Mode, new tunes from Full of Hell, SunnO))), Burial and introduce Montreal metallers Ghoulunatics in our "Indie Spotlight"! Horns!

Episode 555: We Ain't Trippin' - interview with Power Trip
Friday May 10, 2019
Friday May 10, 2019
Crossover thrashers Power Trip seem forged especially for RAM. 65% Metal. 35% Hardcore. 5% pro wrasslin'. Right before the Trippers hit the road they took the time to headline the Manitoba Metalfest giving us the opportunity for a long overdue chat. Vox/mainman Riley Gale was eager to talk record 2.5 (??) "Opening Fire 2008 -2014", their SOLD OUT (!!) Decibel cover, and the band's musical involvement with the WWE. On 4/20 no less. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we go over the Lamb Of God stolen axe incident, the Cro Mags lawsuit sitch, and producer Rick Rubin's controversial "Slayer/black metal" statement. Musically we crank some Power Trip, new tunes from Tanith, Destrage, Windswept, Amygdala, some Necrophobic, and introduce (another Trip) in Canadian punkers Guilt Trip in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 554: Origin Story - interview with Origin
Friday May 03, 2019
Friday May 03, 2019
The irony isn't lost on us. The latest album from extreme metallers Origin is a rather unique release. Before the band started tearing it up in the underground they had their humble beginnings. Now years later, Agonia Records is re - presenting those days in the form of "Abio-genesis - Coming Into Existence". Origin's musical origin. Although those days certainly belonged to axeman Paul Ryan, we had the opportunity to get vokillist Jason Keyser's take on the sitch. In town headlining night one of The Manitoba Metalfest, we caught up with Mr. Keyser. We discussed to the new record, his time in Skinless, and his degree in anthropology. Welcome back , Jas. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we get into Ozzy's mishap and trade stories on the live front. Musically, we crank the new Origin plus cool tunes from Onslaught, All Hell, Protector, Saint Vicious, some classic Skinless, and introduce Canadian metallers Tessitura in the "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 553: Fleshsign Is Nigh - interview with Fleshgod Apocalypse
Friday Apr 26, 2019
Friday Apr 26, 2019
Veteran Italian symphonic extreme metallers Fleshgod Apocalypse have established themselves an artististic reputation for both their amazing discography and awesome live show. With their latest Nuclear Blast opus "Veleno" about to drop, we caught up with lead vox/axeman Francesco Paoli when Fleshgod (to their friends) tore thru town supporting the immortal Hypocrisy. Mr. Paoli was quick to discuss not only the new record but all things that go into making FGA what its is today. In our "News, Views, and Tunes" we discuss a Vinnie-less Hell Yeah and get into some NHL playoff hockey talk, eh. Musically, we crank some new tunes from Fleshgod, Abnormality, Lord Gore, Dead To A Dying World, and introduce Canadian deathsters Anomalism in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Episode 552: Original Roth - interview with Uli Jon Roth
Friday Apr 19, 2019
Friday Apr 19, 2019
The legendary Uli Jon Roth is a musician's musician. An artist's artist. Probably most noted for his work with the mighty Scorpions in the 70s, Mr. Roth has a vast discography spanning five (!) decades. In honour of this, Mr. Roth is currently on his "Triple Anniversary" tour commemorating three key moments in his storied career. It was an absolute honour that Mr. Roth gave us a moment of his time. So sit up straight, shut your mouth, and open your ears as we discuss his legendary status, this awesome tour, and his current relationship with the Scorps. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we celebrate Record Store Day, "The Hoff" going Metal (!!), and the creepy Wayne Static mask issue. Musically, we crank some Uli, the new Allegaeon and Hand Of God, Night Demon, Frightmare, Hammr, and Sick Fix. Horns!!

Friday Apr 12, 2019
Friday Apr 12, 2019
You want the best! You got the best! Our longtime listeners will remember our "Band Spotlight" episodes. We chose a veteran outfit with an extensive back catalogue and shared our faves in key categories important to Metallers. To kick this rebooted series off we tapped the legendary KISS! Gene and the boyz are in the middle of another "farewell" tour for which we were front and centre. So all things considered, the timing of this episode is perfect. So we cracked the beer, mixed the Lemmys, and dove into all things KISS. A raw, stripped down conversation not to be missed by KISSers and music fans alike. Horns!

Episode 550: Olympus House Band - interview with Hey Zeus
Friday Apr 05, 2019
Friday Apr 05, 2019
Around the RAM offices we're still strong supporters of underground record labels. Modern technology has decimated the industry but they still play a huge role in the careers of your fave artists. While some of the bigger labels get the lion's share of fans attention and finances, there's a strong contingency of smaller labels plying their trade. Smaller only in size and stature, not creativity or spirit. This week we want give the Horns to those labels flogging to out in the underground basement. A good place to start is with Argonauta Records recording artist Hey Zeus. These Boston stoner rockers are a prime example of indieriffic rock n roll. We caught up with the band as they were about to hit the stage in their hometown. To add fuel to the fire we spin a stack of like minded wax including Grave Violator, Hellripper, Bewitcher, Black Mass, Heretical Sect, Asthma Castle, Black Mass, Wilt, and Season Of Mist's KEN Mode. As well we trade live stories and cast our vote to have Ozzy knighted(!). Horns!!

Episode 549: Tombmendous - interview with Tomb Mold
Friday Mar 29, 2019
Friday Mar 29, 2019
Canadian death metallers Tomb Mold were the Cinderella story of the extreme metal underground in 2018. Seemingly out of nowhere (emphasis on "seemingly"), TM captured the hearts and minds of fans and critics alike with the brilliant 20 Buck Spin debut "Manor of Infinite Forms". The band recently crossed their native land giving us an opportunity to speak with axeman Derrick Vella. We discuss said record and the overwhelming attention the band received. As well we chat some Canadian metal legends and, of course, some hockey talk. Musically, we crank some TM, Rotting Christ, Noisem, Torture Rack, Abhorrent, Cannabis Corpse, and we introduce Montreal metallers Blackguard in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!
