It’s “News, Views and Tunes” time again as we re-enlist Roch from The Life of Capt. America Radio Show and plant him firmly in the co-host chair. They baptize their new victim with wicked tunes from Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus and the recently departed Zyklon and dive head first into all the goings on in the Metaldom neighborhood. Horns Up!!!

For us particularly it's appropriate that milestone anniversaries are signified by precious metals. For this special milestone though we'll consider the designation not to be gold, silver,etc: but Radioactive as we celebrate our 100th episode. Join us as we relive some of our more humorous moments, how we did our own little part in shaping the Metal world today and spin some cool tunes from God Dethroned and Straight Line Stitch. "Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse"? Not bloody likely!!

Every passing year brings about a whole new slew of useless award shows.. Of course the only one that really matters is our own Rammy Awards. As in (R)adio (A)ctive (M)etal (Ha,Ha. We slay ourselves).  We wrap up an exciting and memorable year with our picks in the most important categories to metalheads in general and maybe a few frivolous as well. Which album got the most spins on our turntables, which concerts gave us the biggest, but most pleasant, earache and which Snowy’s Angel kept us up at night? Ya know, all the important things in life.

We had an excellent time last episode discussing some of the best records from the last decade. This time 'round we thought we'd one up ourselves and actually aurally assault your ears with some of said albums and some very honorable mentions including Anthrax, Exodus, Cannibal Corpse, Fear Factory, Arch Enemy, U.D.O., and Heavy Metal starting points Alice Cooper and Black Sab...err Heaven And Hell. Plus all the news and views to go with the tunes. Don't forget to listen for our new contest with the most awesome prize pack assembled this decade.

With the end of the 2000s (what the heck do we call this) rapidly upon us we take up the formidable challenge of giving the entire decade an overview in a mere 90 minutes.  For such a daunting task though we called in some back up and shared center stage with Metal geek Roch, host of "The Life Of Captain America" radio show. The toughest challenge, but a complete pleasure, was discussing a combined thirty of the decade's finest albums.

Our beloved genre already gets an unwarranted and untrue "it all sounds the same!" rap from the "normies." Even with the multiple sub genres that make up Metal it's still impossible to be 100% original in an artform that's forty years young. Of course frivolous lawsuits and unfounded cries of plagiarism against us and each other does nothing to help the matter. Thanx for all your contributions Jimi, Jimmy and Tony. But you coulda left some riffs for the rest of us to write.

The decorations have been taken down, costumes have been put away and visions of $ are floating in dentist's heads but we're not quite ready to let the Halloween season go just yet. In this spirit (lol), Heavy Metal and Horror movies have always gone hand in hand. Not only in sharing a similar fan base but both have also suffered the same prejudices and shenegrins from societies "normies." So it's only natural that some of Metal's top Demons and Devils would venture into the ooye-gooye world of Horror films. Ozzy took the p|ss out of evangelism during the golden age of censorship and Dee Snider showed today's "Splat Pack" how it was done almost a decade earlier. Out of the musical cauldron comes some wicked witches brews from NECROPHAGIA and CREATURE FEATURE. Happy Samhain, boils and ghouls!!

Metal is a universal language but lyrically it's better accepted when spoken in the "Mother tongue." Not all artists though conform to the join to the race to Billboard and that can be more of a hinderance than anything else. With some genres though (particularily the black/death) surely the language of the lyrics is irrelevent or is the message just as important of the music? No lyrical prejudice here as we present the various dialects, and music, from Arcadia Libre, Bane and, especially, Пярэварацень.

On the live front we've been pretty blessed this year here in our little secondary market. Every fan has their own personal list of artists they love to see before The Grim Reaper plays his own gig exclusively for them. Combined we scratched six names off our Metal live "Bucket List" and we discuss the artists we have left to see before that (mercyful) fateful day. We also give PRONG and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD a spin, two artists that have never disappointed live.

It may be all speculation right now but the idea of a tour featuring the much heralded "Big 4" of 80s thrash (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, duh!) certainly gets the grey matter revved up and the salivary glands working overtime. Reality though generally has a way of crashing down on the party. Can the extracurricular stuff be checked at the arena door or will this prove to be one giant "Clash Of The Egos." We also speak with Nuclear Blast recording artists Divinity who make a challenge to change the concept to the "Big 5".

Metal has the incredible ability to mix and match with various other musical styles to create a vast number of sub genres. The continuous expansion of the Metal sound produces it's share of detractors with the battle cry "(insert band name) aren't Metal!!!). Despite said artist touring with Slayer. Or having played on Ozzfest. Or spearheading the sound of an entire generation. Metal or not...here we come!
