Awesome Mourning

2010-03-07T04:28:00Z

Around here we love to back a winner. “MONOLITH”, the latest record from N.W.O. Swedish H.M. sensations IN MOURNING has been unleashed. After a quick spin the guys knew they had to sit down with guitarist BJORN PETTERSSON and bassist PIERRE STAM to once again bring their awesome sound to the Metal masses. Of course they also bring all the latest METAL NEWS, indulge in an impromtu game of concert one upmanship and discover a common ground in the GARGON department. Horns Up!!!!

Big Daddy Danny

2010-02-27T18:38:00Z

No doubt Nuclear Assault, Anthrax and Brutal Truth are all names ripe for consideration for for the Heavy Metal Hall Of Fame. The common driving force behind these bands, and numerous side projects, is bassist Dan Lilker. Our interest in Mr. Lilker dates back to the mid 80s debut albums from 'Thrax and N.A.so it's our extreme pleasure to interview and discuss all the positives and well...more positives through out the man's illustrious career. A career that the argument can be made for Lilker to be induced into said Hall on his own. Of course, no episode on Dan lilker would be complete without some cool tunes from Nuclear Assault, S.O.D., and Brutal Truth. Horns Up!!!

Under Dogs Underground

2010-02-20T23:39:00Z

Everybody loves an underdog. Whether it’s an odds against sports team having a Cinderella playoff run or that geeky Trekkie from high school that went on to become a captain of industry and marry a super model. Heavy Metal is stacked like Marshall amps full of these lovable losers. Meaning, that despite a wealth of talent and awesome discographies for some reason beyond their control, for whatever reason, just really never caught on in any way to even rival most of their contemporaries. We have their backs though. Allow us to re-introduce you for the first time to GENERAL SURGERY, LULLACRY, BEWITCHED, BREACH OF TRUST, CENTURION’S GHOST and LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR. Horns up!!!

The Power of Three

2010-02-13T05:36:00Z

The arrival of this new iPad gadget got the gray matter moving about the poor state of the music industry particularly in terms of album sales. Of course once the bomb drops their Metal is already Radioactive so DARIO, ROCH and SNOWY took it upon themselves to bang their heads together and come up with some solutions for the rest of the industry. The guys spin some cool tunes from FEAR FACTORY and SEVERE TORTURE to aid them in their pursuit.

News, Views & New Dude

2010-02-06T20:37:00Z

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!!!

100xRadioactive

2010-01-29T03:50:00Z

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!!

Nailing 2009 Coffin

2010-01-22T07:32:13Z

Simple enough. Consider this the final nail in the 2009 coffin. Last episode we brought you our 4th Annual Rammy Awards. This week we fire up some of the great music and artists that found themselves in front of the winners podium including Obituary, Slayer, Heaven And Hell, Spinal Tap, and the immortal Immortal. Of course we also throw our Views on all the latest News. Welcome To Hell, 2010!!!!!!

2009 Rammy Awards

2010-01-10T03:19:00Z

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.

Rewinding 2000s

2009-12-17T02:27:00Z

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.

4th Decade of Metal

2009-12-03T03:47:00Z

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.

Ear of the Beholder

2009-11-19T06:41:00Z

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.

Horror Of It All

2009-11-05T05:22:00Z

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 Numero Uno

2009-10-22T02:13:00Z

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.
