Episodes

  • Pick Your Poison

    21/03/2024 Duration: 01h52min

    Horns!! One of our special days is fast approaching! Record Store Day is a huge part of this show and our lives. The main idea behind RSD is to support your local record shop. To help getcher butts into the shops, every year there is a number of RSD exclusive releases for your listening pleasure. There is something for everyone but generally only a few titles for us. So as is annual tradition now, we hit up www.recordstoreday.com to help us decide what new records are turning our crank. Go to the website, find the list and "dig" with us. Which records are you grabbing? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we get drenched at Gwar and acknowledge "Thin Lizzy Day". Musically, we crank some Witchginder General, Ghoul, Jucifer, Derketa and Houwitzer. Horns Up!!

  • What's In A Word?

    14/03/2024 Duration: 02h10min

    Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. Verbally, we all have our own words and expressions. Metaldom is no exception. If anything we have more unique words in our verbal arsenal than Joe Average. Off the top of our heads, "Axe" (for guitar) comes to mind. So with that starting point, we dive into a laundry (all black, of course) list of slang descriptive words. How many of these do you use everyday? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the numeral "777" and we caught the political protest performance artists Pussy Riot. Musically, we crank new + used from Atrophy, Omen, Hellion, Bloodcum, Iron Curtain, Brat and the aforementioned Pussy Riot. Horns Up!

  • Reunion Confusion

    07/03/2024 Duration: 02h17min

    You can literally count on one hand the years the mighty Slayer have been disbanded. Now an impending reunion for multiple festival dates have been announced. Needless to say, this has Metaldom all a buzz. And of course once the announcement was made, the interwebs was flooded with misinformation causing confusion. So this week we pick our way through the mirth. Is this too soon to be an official reunion? Is is something you'd pay big bucks to see in '24? And Horns to Mrs. Arraya for being so entertaining through all this. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss pro wrassler Sting's last match. Musically, we crank some new and used from Midnight, D.R.I., Minor Threat, Bitch, Forgotten Rebels, Sentry, Vexange and we introduce Moncton's Omnivide in our "Indie Spitlight". Horns Up!!

  • Animalize (Talk Like A Beast)

    01/03/2024 Duration: 02h07min

    As we yacked about last episode, 1984 was an amazing year for Metaldom. A major part of that awesomeness was the incredible amount of new records that filled the new release racks. So with these albums celebrating their 40th anniversary, we decided to give some of them the deep dive treatment. KISS' "Animalize" is an album near and dear to our Metal Hearts, for different reasons. So we go over the whys and wherefores, the tracklist, the artwork, the whole She-Bang. Give this album a refresher then give us a spin. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we checked out the Captain Comics Expo and some cool vinyl docs. Musically, we crank some Blood Red Throne, Heavy Load, Critical Defiance, Decrowned, Blood Opera and introduce orginal hometown (Ottawa) bashers Hatred Reigns in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!

  • '84 Is 40

    23/02/2024 Duration: 03h11min

    How does the time fly? 1984 was an incredible year for Metaldom. The new release racks were filled with albums that are not only all time classics now, but helped shape the Metal world as we know it today. So this week we do a deep dive into that year that was. Apart from the amazing records, there were an obscene amount of mandatory outfits that formed. And there were news events that we still talk about today. Where's our logo sticker covered Delorian??!! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we attend the 40th (!!) anniversay Vader tour and make Terry Butler an honourary Winnipegger. Musically, we crank some Gwar, Repulsion, Uniform Choice, Black Flag, Living Death, C.O.C., Thrust, Piledriver, Messiah, Axewitch, Axekiller, Inhuman Condition, Sharptooth and Knoll. Horns Up!

  • Episode 773 - And The Nominees Are...

    16/02/2024 Duration: 01h40min

    It's that time again. The nominees for this year's Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame have been announced. This list always to seem raise both the eyebrows and ire of music fans. Its an ongoing debate whether The Hall should still be monickered "Rock n Roll" because of the inclusion of other genres. But every list has enough meat on the bone to warrant discussion. We dissect the list and make our top picks. *Spoiler* Ozzy is our Man. D'uh!! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss some Rush and Spider Punk! Musically, we crank some new + used from Hirax, the real Slaughter, Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome), Blade Runner, Night Fever, and we introduce Pessimystic in our "Indie Spotlight".   Horns Up!!

  • Screw You, Togar!

    10/02/2024 Duration: 02h13min

    Bucket List moment! The '79 Ramones teen comedy "Rock n Roll High School" is an old fave of ours. We have it on DVD, various streaming platforms and have it practically memorized. But we never got to see it in the theatre...until now. Our local arthouse theater aired it is as part of their Cult Movie Night. So with the experience still fresh in our minds we decided to deep dive into the film. 2024 is also "RnRHS" 45 anniversary. We get into the cast, the highlights (and lowlights), the social commentary and life imitating art (and vice versa). Screw you, Togar! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we pay tribute to Wayne Kramer (RIP) and go over the Swift/NFL non issue. Musically, we crank some Marky Ramone and the Intruders, Conflict, The Ramonas, Ironflame, Digregorio and Enchanters. Horns Up!

  • The Rush Of Black Metal

    03/02/2024 Duration: 02h08min

    The debut full lengther from the almighty Venom "Welcome To Hell" is one of the most influential underground albums ever. Not only in the Black Metal realm but thrash and NWOBHM as well. Its also the album that turned Snowy to Metal full time. We've often said "No Venom, No RAM". Turns out though, Aaron wasn't familiar with this classic (!). So we decided to take a deep dive into this amazing album. Not only all the stand out tracks but the artwork and passages on the jacket as well. We enjoyed  dissecting this record so much we decided to make this concept a semi regular. Stay tuned. Musically, we crank some Bathory, Holocaust, Full of Hell, Into Eternity, Savaged, Arkham, and Suburban Hypocrites.   Horns Up!

  • Episode 770 - Front To The Back

    25/01/2024 Duration: 02h02min

    Sure streaming is ruling the roost when it comes to how music is consumed. But the vinyl album is slicing their piece of the pie more and more. Metalheads have always been more album oriented as opposed to just cherry picking a few tracks. And for good reason. There have been numerous albums over the years that are best served whole. Albums that are 100% bangers with no one reaching for the "Skip" button. So this week we go through a list of such classics. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss Joe Bonnamassa's axe collection and thumb through the new Fistful of Metal ish. Musically, we crank some new + used from Thunderstick, 7 Year Bitch, Spectral Voice and introduce Boston's Ravage in out "Indie Spotlight".   Horns Up!! 

  • Episode 769 - Please Be Kind...Rewind

    20/01/2024 Duration: 02h02min

    We admit it, we're old. But with age comes experience. We've witnessed firsthand the majority of the techno marvels we take for granted today. One of our faves was the rise of the home video phenomenon. It was a fun and exciting era. We had the ability to see our favourite flicks at home. As well, it had its effects on Metaldom. This week we go over some of the major titles that made the format so sweet. It also introduced us to some great new bands and even gave some first live visuals of some of our faves. C'mon down memory lane with us. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we hit the record/comic shops and pay tribute to a fallen alum. Musically, we crank The Rods, Extreme Noise Terror, Morbid Saint, Parasite ('84), Koffin Kats, and Servant and we introduce Arizona's Never Reborn in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!  

  • Episode 768: The 2023 Rammy Awards

    12/01/2024 Duration: 01h31min

    Whoo-Hoo!! It's time for our annual Rammy Awards! Kind of our take on the Grammys Awards (R.A.M...Gammy...Rammy. We're so clever). Basically, we give our picks of the past year in the categories that mean the most to Metalheads. Fave Band, Album, Song, Live Show a.o.

  • Episode 767: RAM’s NYE

    06/01/2024 Duration: 02h15min

    New Year's Eve was pretty low key around the RAM offices. We had a night of PJs and popcorn. So we decided this year we would save the partying for you the listeners. We ditched our usual segments and broke out the Lemmys. As we "tipped the elbow", we discussed a variety of topics. Those included our new "Frankenstein" bass, our Christmas hauls, "The Iron Claw" flick, 80s soundtracks, and The Mouse going public domain. Musically, we crank some Master, Mortuary(Mex), The Pist, Rotten Sound, Deteriorot, Witchskull, Blasphemer, Offside, Unnamed Grave and Don't Drop The Sword. Horns Up and Happy Eve, you beautiful So-and-Sos! This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee. Summon the coffee demons to possess yourself a cup today! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram  

  • Episode 766: Goodbye 2023

    23/12/2023 Duration: 02h12min

    As of this episode, the year is starting to wind down. But before you start rockin' in the New Year, now is a good time to discuss some of the events that made 2023 the year that was. Without stepping on the Rammy Award's steel toed boots, we figured we'd share the awesome albums that provided our personal soundtracks. We also pay tribute to some of our fallen comrades. We also get stoked for the outfits that reformed in '23 and are preparing new material for '24. To help us out we enlisted the expertise of good friend and co host of our sister podcast Wrestling Night in Canada, Mr. Dustin Maruca. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we do a deep dissection of the "Godzilla: Minus One" film. Musically, we crank cool tunes from Sortilege, Minor Threat, Wrathchild, GISM, Kruelty, Demoncy, and Afsky. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that rot. This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee. Summon the coffee demons to possess yourself a cup today! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram  

  • Episode 765: Messes Des Morts 2023

    14/12/2023 Duration: 01h55min

    The Messes Des Morts in Montreal is a Black Metal festival going on for a dozen years now. The attraction to the fest is the organizers ability to attract artists from across the pond that rarely makes appearances on North American stages. We had planned to be there for this year's instalment. Unfortunately, life had different plans. Fortunately, our good friend and co host of our sister podcast "Wrestling Night In Canada" Mr. "Ducky" Dustin Maruca made the trip. We picked his brain all about the fest. Namely the line up and highlights. And he shares a few cool stories making us wish we were there. As well, we have a quick chat about Black Metal in general.  Musically, we crank some new and used from Blasphemy, Warlord, Kick Axe, Rigor Mortis, Urghal and Dodheimsgard! Horns Up!!

  • Episode 764: PPV Not A.O.K

    09/12/2023 Duration: 01h57min

    This past weekend was what's suppose to be the final on stage hurrah for the legendary KISS. The outfit has gone full circle from the New York club scene some 50 years ago to Madison Square f'n Garden. This historical moment was available to fans worldwide on Pay-Per-View. Sorta. Our service for the big event was both dodgy (Thx Barney) and non existent. So this week we compare debacles. We wanted the best. But well... In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the amazing Sound City doc, some news on the Canadian classic scene and how the police got the "Fuzz" name. Musically, we drank some new cool tunage from the all star band Savage Lands, Berzerker Legion and Axe Crazy! Horns Up! This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee.

  • Episode 763: Up And Down The Metal Dial

    01/12/2023 Duration: 02h12min

    We cannot stress how important the "WKRP In Cincinnati" (78-82) sitcom has had on this radio show. No "Dr" Johnny Fever = No Radioactive Metal. So this being the Thanksgiving season, we take inspiration from the (in)famous "Turkey Drop" episode. We thought "What If..." (Thx Marvel) the characters of WKRP were Metalheads? What would their fave artists be? Some may seem obvious. But others required our Metal logo thinking baseball cap. Our more mature listeners will really appreciate this one! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we share some gear talk and discuss our RSD: Black Friday haul.Musically, we crank some new + used from Exhumed, Power Trip, Bikini Kill, Diabolic Night, Embrace Your Punishment and Primordial Serpent.

  • Episode 762: Dot Dot Dot

    25/11/2023 Duration: 01h57min

    Metal and Punk bands are no strangers to the whole acronym for their name thing. Instead of spelling out their multi word monicker, it's just easier to focus on the first letters. The ones that immediately come to mind are D.R.I. and C.O.C. But what about obscure names like J.F.A. and E-X-E? So we figured we'd put our own Aaron to the test. Just for shites' and giggles. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the Cavalera Bros re-recording the classic Sepultura "Morbid Visions" album. And Green Day playing the Grey Cup (Canada's Super Bowl) halftime show. Musically, we crank new and used from Fear, MDC, Destructor, Tyrant, E-X-E, Gutter Creek, Maul and we introduce New Halen CT's Entierro in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

  • Episode 761: Talk Like A Beast

    17/11/2023 Duration: 02h16min

    Legendary rockers WASP are always a great time. Either on the live front or their immense discography. Case in point - we had a fantastic time merely talking about their wicked cover of The Who's "The Real Me". So we figured we'd crank up the volume and dedicate an entire discussion segments to Blackie And The Boys. We share our fave songs, albums, live experiences and how we first discovered the controversial outfit. And of course, our own personal stories pertaining to the one of LA's finest. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the announced Pantera live date in our area and the infamous "WKRP" Turkey Drop segment. Musically, we crank new tunage from The Rods, KEN Mode, End Reign and Outergods. Horns Up and Stay Healthy! This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee.

  • Episode 760: Cover To Cover

    10/11/2023 Duration: 01h53min

    Cover songs can be rather divisive amongst Metal fans. Some see it as a loving tribute. Others see it as a complete waste of time and effort. Around the RAM offices, we love a good cover song. Particularly a blast from the past being paid homage being paid by a current hotshot. But which is preferred? The original...or the cover. So we figured we'd go over our own laundry list and Yay or Nay on which version. Think QR/Slade. WASP/Who. Napalm Death/DKs. Musically, we crank new and used from Hirax, the aforementioned Napalm Death, Striker, Display Of Decay, Tailgunner,  Deathblow and we introduced Mexico's Phantom in our "Indie Spotlight".
