    Episode 868: The Real Slaughter, Damitt!!

    1,2 F You! The crushing debut from the Canadian thrashers Slaughter is an all fave around the RAM office. "Strappado" is also the one of the most influential albums in the Death Metal underground. And, this platter of splatter is celebrating its fourth decade (!) of existence this year. So this week we're featuring it in our "40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series". We do a track by track deep dive. Share how we first discovered the mighty Slaughter. And try to straighten out the whole monicker mess with the fake (s)laughter. Happy Bday to drummer/founder Ron Sumner who was celebrating his Bday when we pressed "record". In our "News, Views and Tunes', we share our chat with an A.I. music creator and put over the new Megadeth record. Musically, we crank some Slaughter, Nunslaughter, Kate's Acid, Dr. And The Crippens, Gravewitch, Outpost 31 and introduce Seattle's Rotgut in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!

    Episode 867: All The Strange Things

    We're a little late off the mark. But we finally go the amazing "Stranger Things" series in the books. So this week we decided to discuss all the strange goin-ons in Hawkins. Apart from the usual thoughts about the show, we discuss the power of music, the Kate Bush fandom in Metaldom, share our own trials and tribulations from high school and ask the question - "Eddie Munson - Maiden or Metallica?" Musically, we crank some tunes we feel Eddie would've given The Horns to including Angel Witch, Razor, Power Trip, Destroyer 666, Skull Fist, Solanum, Riot City and we introduce Brazil's Grey Wolf in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!

    Episode 866: 1986...66

    1986 was an absolute barnburner of a year. Numerous, now veteran bands and artists hit the garage for the first time. So many now classic albums hit the racks then onto our turntables and ghetto blasters. And there were new stories that rocked all of Metaldom. As well, this year, believe it or not, 1986 turns 40 years young. So as is tradition 'round here, we're doing a deep dive into this banner year. So for the young'ens, this will be quite educational. For the veterans, this will be an awesome strut down memory lane. Musically, we crank some Terrorizer, Hirax, Manilla Road, All Pigs Must Die, Kat, Traitor, Burning Path and we introduce Chile's Caprice Steel in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns up!!

    It's that time again! 2025 is in the books. So around here that means it's time for our annual Rammy Awards! To our newer listeners hopping aboard this year, there are the Radioactive Metal version of the Grammy Awards. You know, R.A.M...Rammies...Grammies. We're so clever. To the winners, sorry, there's no trophy or place in Metaldom infamy. We basically kick back and share our faves of '25 in the categories that mean the most to Metalheads. Best Band, Album, Live a.o. Aswell, we make our inductions into the Radioactive Metal Hall of Fame. Play along with your picks! Musically, we crank some Sacrifice, Unholy Grave, Hellion, Exxecutioner and Antagonizer.

    Episode 864: Lemmy-ized

    Over the years, the legendary Motorhead has been one of the most covered artists in all of Metaldom. But as beloved and influential as they are, Lemmy and The Boys are music fans too. So Motorhead has done their fair share of covers as well. Recently, we celebrated Lemmy's Bday and mourned his passing on the 10th anniversary. So this week we decided to discuss our favorite Motorheaderized cover songs. There are some absolute bangers! In our News, Views and Tunes, we discuss some Henry Rollins spoken word albums and the recent Vinny Vincent craziness. Musically, we crank some Whiplash, Raw Power, Old Funeral, Dissection (Can), Executioner Steel and we introduce Winnipeg black metallers Primordial Serpent in our Indie Spotlight. Horns up!!

    Episode 863: Rest In Power

    Obviously, we love doing this show. For so many awesome reasons. One of our negative duties we take upon ourselves is the announcements and dedications for those of our fallen Metal comrades. Now its Year's End and we decided we wanted to dedicate this episode saying "Horns Up" for those who left us. Its a tough listen but well worth it. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss vinyl reissues and the Spotify "scrapping" incident. Musically, we crank some Blitzkrieg, Mortician, Necrophagia, Heavy Load, Ragnarok, Virus, Lawnmower Deth, Sudden Impact and we introduce Swedish metallers Blazon Stone in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!

    Episode 862: The Pen Is Mightier

    Metal Forces magazine, the amazing UK tome, is a fave of ours from our teens. They covered all the great underground HM, Thrash/Death and Hardcore outfits. One of their awesome features was the "Penbangers" section. Basically, the pen pal section looking for communication with other readers via the written letter. Some of the ads were pretty entertaining themselves. So this week we figured we'd read some of them courtesy of the www.sendbackmystamps.com websites. You'll laugh, you'll cry. You take a trip down memory lane. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the death of Rob Reiner and the "1987 Metal Forces Readers Poll Results". Musically, we crank some Frank Blackfire (Sodom), Living Death, Iron Angel, Exorcist, Witchkiller, Zombie Ritual, Gammacide, House By The Cemetery and introduce Florida's Living Fast in our "Indie Spotlight" section. Horns Up!

    Episode 861: Corrosive

    Corrosion Of Conformity's second full lengther "Animosity" was a benchmark effort. The C.O.C. of today is very different from forty years ago. Along with contemporaries like D.R.I. and The Accused, the then trio helped spearhead the "crossover" scene fans take for granted today. This year this amazing record also turns forty (!). So this week we're featuring it in our "40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series". We go over the Pushead artwork. Do a track by track deep dive. And share the importance this record had on our personal lives. In our "News, Views and Tunes', we discuss the 80s camp classic flick "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" (!!) and "Laurie Partridge"'s more *ahem* obscure movie role. Musically, we crank said C.O.C. record plus Cryptic Slaughter, Beyond Possession, Bratmobile, Warhead, Struck A Nerve, Sodomizer, Hounds and introduce Florida's trad metallers Midnight Vice in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
