Radioactive Metal

NY death metal legends SUFFOCATION are both an unstoppable force and immovable object. Their first demo recordings hit the underground in 1990 and now almost 30 years later, they're showing no signs of letting up. They're also showing no signs of giving up their dominant spot in the hearts and minds of fans the world over. Of course, Suffocation also have an open invitation to return to the RAM hot seat. You're not going to find a more friendly or hospitable subject than axeman Terrance Hobbs. We discuss the brilliant new "...Of The Dark Light" album, the band's current (Nuclear Blast) and former (Roadrunner) homes, and the idea of re-recording old "hits". Oh, and we had a run-in from the Suffo' Young Bucks Charlie Errigo (axe) and Eric Morotti (skins). In our News, Views, and Tunes, we talk war wounds in the pit and getting drenched at Gwar! Musically, we crank the new Suffo, US BASTARDS, and some classic ABATTOIR! Horns!!

It's a new day for the RAM camp! This special episode marks our big de-butt on The Shining Wizards Network. We're basically taking over the spot vacated by our friends at the Neckbreaker Podcast. The cool dudes behind the awesome show are also the cool dudes from the awesome thrash band DRIVE-BY BUKKAKE. There's a shit ton of fun going on with these guys, so it's an appropriate time to finally get DBB mainman Brian Thompson on the horn. We discussed the unique release of their new Crucial Loads record, as well as the origins of their awesome monicker (best name ever!) and the "passing of the torch" on the new Network! In our News, Views, and Tunes, we have our own discussion on bukkake!! We also introduce ourselves to our new listeners and discuss "emo sludge"??? Musically, we crank some DBB and some new CANNIBAL CORPSE and ALL PIGS MUST DIE! Horns!!

Sometimes, relationship breakups aren't such a bad thing. With musical acts, member changes happen all the time. Sometimes the results are disastrous and sometimes it works out for all parties. But in the case of axe master Dallas Toler-Wade everyone wins! When Mr. Toler-Wade parted with the mighty NILE, we got the awesome NARCOTIC WASTELAND out of the deal. He's currently crossing the country on tour but we couldn't wait for him to hit our town, so we got him on the horn. We discussed their second album, his metal heroes, the challenges of being a new band on a headlining tour, and much more . In our News, Views, and Tunes, we yack about partying with  SUFFOCATION and pay tribute to the immortal Martin Ain! Horns!!

Greeting Boils and Ghouls! It's Halloween! RAM is embracing the spirit of the season with our Creature Features. King Fowley has been the mastermind behind the legendary death metal outfit DECEASED for literally decades. His love of all things that go bump in the night makes The King a perfect Halloween guest. He shares with us some ghastly tales of Deceased's upcoming record and his relationship with Hells Headbangers Records. Mr. Fowley also has his own take on what death metal is and updates us on his other project OCTOBER 31. Great Goblins! In our News, Views, and Tunes, we address the Twiggy Ramirez rape allegation and show our solidarity with the #MeToo Facebook campaign. Musically, we crank some Deceased, the new CLOVEN HOOF, and 7 YEAR BITCH! Happy Halloween and Horns Up!!

Friday October 13th! There's no more appropriate day for a new album from horror Metal meisters EXHUMED. Now as we're smack dab in the middle of the Halloween season, there's no better Creature to Feature than mainman Matt Harvey. Mr. Harvey holds the record for most appearances on RAM and for damn good reason! Exhumed is a killer band with a killer discography, as well as all his other musical endeavours (GRUESOME, EXPULSION) consistently strike a power chord with us. His encyclopedic knowledge of all things horror is legendary. And he's one sweetheart of a guy. We got into all the whys and wherefores of the new Death Revenge album, talk of his love of horror, and his recent tribute to the immortal George Romero. In our News, Views, and Tunes, we talk some Dave MooStaine (!) and bagpipes in the bathroom (!!). Musically we crank the new Exhumed, IRON MONKEY, and some classic DEATH! Horns!

The mid-to-late 2000s saw the emergence of a new wave of underground thrash. A new fraternity of young upstarts that took a direct influence from the classic 80s thrash masters. Think a gaggle of TESTAMENT/EXODUS offspring ready to take on the world. Leading the charge are LA thrashers WARBRINGER. The consummate road warriors, these warmongers have graced our stages many times, but only now have we been able to finagle a moment of vocalist John Kevill's time. We have a thought provoking chat dealing with their new record Woe To The Vanquished, their new Napalm Records home, and the insight into their lyrics. We speak of the band's youth but Mr. Kevill has a wisdom beyond his years. In our News, Views, and Tunes, we go over the Metal hopefuls in this year's Hall Of Fame. Musically we crank the new Warbringer, the new HAEMORRHAGE, MONSTROSITY, and DARKEST HOUR! Horns!

Everyday here at RAM is an adventure. In our valiant attempts to bring a kick ass Creature Feature each week, we find ourselves jumping through some serious hoops. The legendary DARK TRANQUILITY made their way through town recently and we were looking forward to speaking with vox Mikael Stanne. But trying to nail the man down for a few minutes proved taxing. When we did we found ourselves talking, it was in a not so tranquil environment. But a negative turned into a positive as the atmosphere made our chat a unique experience. We spoke of their latest effort Atoma, their vast catalogue, and headlining vs. supporting. In our News, Views, and Tunes, we go deep into the idea of how relevant to Metal the immortal Hugh Hefner was. Musically, we crank the new DT, the new ARCHSPIRE, and some DEBACHERY! Horns!!

Apart from our good looks and charm, RAM is best known for our kick ass Creature Features. Sometimes though, there's enough going on in the Metal World that we feel we should forego our usual segments and concentrate on the task at hand. Case in point, the Metal News has been monopolized lately by the recent DECAPITATED situation and the Tim Lambesis controversy from a few years ago. Now is an opportune and necessary time to discuss that point where we can no longer separate the art from the artist. Is there a crime against humanity that's so heinous that we no longer want to support the bands at all? Whether it's at the cash register, the box office, or over the airwaves, we all have an opinion. What follows is a conversation not to be unheard! In our News, Views, and Tunes, we pay tribute to BATHORY's dad and crank some ACEPHALIX and MARDUK! Horns!!

There's a lot going on in THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER camp right now. Their new kick ass record Nightbringers is just around the corner, not to mention headlining a star studded tour across the nation. We've had The Black Dahlia Murder (TBDM to its friends) vocalist Trevor Strnad on the show just last year, but with them about to ascend to the top of the extreme metal mountain again, we had to get him on the line one more time. He gives us the 411 on the new album, his vocal style, TBDM artwork, and the role Facebook plays with fan interaction. In our News, Views, and Tunes, we give life lessons on hitting the bargain bins and record store etiquette. Musically, we crank some young and old TBDM and Canuck death/doomsters OCCVLT HAND! Horns Up!!

In 2014, the Metal World lost of one of the all time greats in Oderus Urungus of the mighty GWAR. There's no way Mr. Urungus would want the blood to stop there, but those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, "The Berzerker" Blothar was up for the challenge. With a kick ass new record and tour ready to rock, we caught up with the man himself. We got into the blood n' guts of the new album, his origins, and the early days of Gwar. But most importantly, we chat about the virtues of Canadian strippers!! So pay attention you slimy pieces of human filth!! In our News, Views, and Tunes, we chat about getting drenched at a Gwar show, we crank the new record and some VALLENFYRE and HELLISH GRAVE. Then we introduce Peoria black n' rollers ANGELUST in out Indie Spotlight! Horns!
