As musical connoisseurs, the live front is where we're most at home. Live shows or concerts have some traditional moments that get us pumped and raise the hair on our necks. Right before we wreck them. There's a reason the audience erupts once the lights go down, for example. So we go a list of moments that make the concert experience so momentous. As well, we learn that we are nominated for "Ambassador Of The Year" in the Manitoba Loud Music Awards. So we felt it was appropriate to give a few moments to MLMA committee member Denny Ferguson to give us all the whys and wherefore behind these awards. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we're stoked for the return of CREEM magazine and have a bit of 80s sitcom talk. Musically, we crank some new and used from Revocation, Besieged, Overdrive (Swe), Conflict (UK), Bewitched, Solanum and Slugcrust. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

When it comes to the live front, music of the tried and true has been outdrawing the new stuff for quite awhile now. But now "Classic" tunage has recently overtaken the new stuff at the sales counter too. So this week we do a deep dive investigation into the whys and wherefores and try to figure it all out. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we dissect a rather polarizing Alice Cooper quote and some crank tunage from Sigh, Bat, Critical Defiance, Mvll Crimes and introduce Lethbridge (!!) trad metallers Tyrants Of Chaos in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

"Time flies when you're having fun." That's an old adage we learned as young 'uns. But it gets more and more trve once you get to our age. A lot of key albums, band formations and significant events happened literally decades ago now. But honestly a lot of these seem like they happened just "a few years ago" now. Namely, the first minus Ozzy/Dio Sabbath album dropped 39 years ago. And the last new (material) from Razor came out 25 (!) years ago! Whew! Is that a gray hair??!! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we define "mandatory" with Metal and crank new and used from Grave Digger, Bloodfeast, Harlequin, Cirith Ungol, Resistance, and Volcano! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!

Who says Heavy Metal isn't educational??!! Yes, the lyrical content has delved into social and political issues over the years. But they've also had us listeners reaching for the dictionary and introduced a number of phrases and expressions. So this time 'round we share a (very condensed) list of said words and expressions that first came to our attention thru the Power of Metal! We're so "stoked"! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we hit the live front and crank new and used from Toxik, Bell Witch, (Scars Of) Atrophy and Hatriot. Halloween comes early as we introduced Montreal's The Occult in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!

The Numero Uno topic of discussion on every Metalhead's mind right now is the controversial issue of the Pantera reunion. It seems to be a very polarizing issue. One side is claiming "No Brothers, No Pantera". While the other is looking forward to it. So we decided to go over all the ifs, ands or buts. Which includes if this is a "tribute" act or not and the participation of Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante. Also, following up on last episode, The Satanic Panic seems to be alive and well. RAM alum Casket Robbery were taken to task by a Tennessee church. Where's Geraldo? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss Alice Cooper swapping axe persons and crank new and used from CroMags, Necrophagia, Wake, Nicolaus Cage Fighter, the aforementioned Casket Robbery, Dead Head, Hulder and introduce Cleveland's Asault in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!

Season 4 of the Netflix series "Stranger Things" had The Metal World captivated. Our beloved genre played such a key part in key character's character and in memorable sequences. So we knew we had to focus some major attention towards it. Besides, we're the original Eddie Munson! We discussed how we related to the time period, "The Satanic Panic" backdrop and which songs would bring us out of the Upside Down. *Spoiler Alert*Spoiler Alert! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we crank some new + used from Angel Witch, The Exploited, Bitches Sin, Faithful Breath, Death Whore and introduce Winnipeg punkers The Strange Things (!!) in our "Indie Spotlight".

Now here's an outfit that makes us howl! T.O.'s Deadwolff impressed us last year when their self titled EP came across our desk. The 'Wolff are a cool Canadian trio heavily influenced by the early 80s HR/NWOBHM with a modern flare. So when they recently came through town we jumped at the opportunity to turn a Wednesday night into a Saturday night! We sat down with the entire pack and go over the whys and wherefores behind the howl. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we go over the Vince Neil teleprompter "controversy". Musically, we crank some Deadwolff + new and used from Savage Master, Witchfynde, Werewolves, Molder, Temple of Void, 30 Immolated; 16 Returned and we introduce Vancouver's Thirteen Goats in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

As we pressed "record" on this episode, it was July 1st. Or Canada Day. Unfortunately, with the events of this year we haven't been feeling very patriotic. But all the awesome music produced in the Great White North is always reason to celebrate. So we decided to grab a stack of Canuck wax, pour a couple drinks and shoot the shit. In other words, celebrate RAM-style. We discussed a Sacrifice/Slaughter FB battle thread we created, a Vancouver radio station playing RATM on loop, Vince Neil's goofy "satanic" quote and we test each other's Metal. Musically, we crank some new and used from the aforementioned Sacrifice and Slaughter, Blasphemy, Get The Shot, Forgotten Rebels, Death Sentence, DBC, Soothsayer, Electro Quarterstaff, CiDB, and Primordial Serpent! Horns Up and Stay Healthy, Eh!

If you're listening to this on Day One, Happy July 1st - Canada Day! There's no better way to enjoy the holiday than with an interview with a legendary Canadian punk band. Day Glo Abortions are no strangers to RAM. Vox/Axeman Murray The Cretin has graced us with his presence so often now we should just set up a cot beside our recording mic. It was a long sweltering night, and Father's Day even, but Murray was again more than eager to chat. Especially with the new "Hate Speech" album ready to rock! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we talk the new Megadeth track and our RSD Part Deux haul. Musically, we crank some new and used from Day Glos, Primitive Man, Mortiferum, Sacramentum, Overdose, Citizen Rage, and introduce Colorado metalled Buried Realm in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!!
