Originally conceived by veteran heshers "Metal" Ron and Gerald "Rattlehead" in 1985, Powerchord is Vancouver's longest running metal show! And the torch is still burning with contemporary hosts Coleman, Serena, Chris, Justin, and Ian, covering all sub-genres across the harsh landscape of heavy metal. New releases, local bands, the obscure, the classic, and everything in-between.
Two hours of absolute brutality every Saturday from 1-3pm.

Unrelenting Violence
Crank up another set of devastation with Ian on today's episode of Powerchord! Get ready for twisted black metal mutations from Marthe, Thantifaxath, Ceremonial Bloodbath and local legends Blasphemy! We'll also worship at the filth-encrusted altar of the old gods with classic death metal from tyrants like Cryptopsy, Deicide, Gorguts and Cannibal Corpse! The second half of the show will feature ripping thrash from speed demons like Nervosa, Power Trip, Warbringer and Toxic Holocaust, plus we'll dig a classic track from Slayer's debut album Show No Mercy out of The Graveyard! Light it up, rattleheads!

Close to the Presence of (Radio) Suffering
Ferris back in the studio, somewhat less fucking up than usual. Exploiting the hard work of local musicians takes up 3/4 of the show, showcasing a genre diversity not ordinarily heard on the program (read: not exclusively deathmetal). Includes a fruit-filled section on new and up-coming local acts. Highlights on The Invisible Orange 15th anniversary gigs, and some other shit you need to know. There will be a test.

Abyssal Plane
Ian's back with a slate of savagery from all over the world of metal on today's show! We'll start with a taste of experimental noise composer Ben Frost's stunning new record Scope Neglect, then move into a decimating set of grindcore, highlighted by heavy hitters Escuela Grind, Pig Destroyer and Brutal Truth, plus a classic from Swedish grind legends Nasum. We'll also survey some of the best in the world of death metal with rippers from Slimelord, Tomb Mold and Vastum, while hyping next Saturday's March 30th show at the Rickshaw featuring Wake and Egregore! We'll also get into some new bandgers from traditional heavy metal masters with rippers from Judas Priest, Cirith Ungol and Haunt, and dig a classic track from Saxon out of the Graveyard!
Customer Reviews
Great Extreme Metal
This podcast plays some excellent metal music, primarily in the more extreme genres such as death and black metal. The Canadian accents of the hosts are entertaining, too. The show is a staple for me every week. My only complaints come because it is first and foremost a local radio show rather than a podcast: (1) the sound quality is not the best, and (2) they play some local bands which may not all be on par with the rest of their playlists.
