VOIVOD were/are the kind of band that sets trends and twists and distorts genres to cater to their wants and needs. RAM had the recent good fortune of catching up with drummer AWAY who himself is a hometown hero of our own Mr. ROCH making this conversation all the more special and exciting. “Two French-Canadians walked into a bar…” Musically we promote VOIVOD’s latest live record and introduce fellow Canuckleheads DIEMONDS (featuring SNOWY’s Angel PRIYA PANDA) in our INDIE SPOTLIGHT.

RADIOACTIVE METAL: Fresh Guns And Bloody Lions

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:32:13 +0000

This episode of RADIOACTIVE METAL Originally aired on PURE ROCK RADIO August 4th, 2011. We RAMmers aren’t exactly spring chickens. With the “Big 4-0″ in our rear view mirrors we’ve experienced nearly everything the Metal genre has to offer in terms of genres and eras. So sometimes, we seem to naturally focus mostly on Metal’s rich history and key figures. Current affairs though are really just future history and RAM has a strong grip on the here and now as well. Squeezed between the masive throng of unsigned “indie” bands and the Chosen Few “superstars” lay the “established” acts. These are the bands that have signed onto a reputable label, are an album or two deep, and are out plying their trade on the national (and international) stage. Unfortunately in today’s musical climate this stage appears to be only a small step up from the “Garage Dayz”. We wanna reward these artists for all their hard work and sacrifices, all in the name of Metal, with the first chapter in an on going series dedicated to these brave soldiers. We crank some SEPTIC FLESH, HAVOK, WHITE WIZZARD, REV. THEORY, ANEW REVOLUTION, OCEANO, NECRONOMICON, KINGDOM OF SORROW, ROTTEN SOUND, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH, introduce thrashers FATALITY in our INDIE SPOTLIGHT, and enjoy a couple “classics” from WHITESNAKE and GENERAL SURGERY. Horns Up!!

RADIOACTIVE METAL: Dexy’s Metal Runners

admin — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:42:02 +0000

This episode of RADIOACTIVE METAL Originally aired on PURE ROCK RADIO July 28th, 2011. For the musical connoisseur of any genre, the ONE HIT WONDER has always proven to be a musical scourge. Despite our beloved Heavy Metal traditionally being more album and full career oriented can it fall victim to these same pitfalls? This time ’round we discuss, dissect and dispute the concept of the One Hit Wonder within Metaldom. What exactly constitutes a OHW (within Metal)? What artists could be branded the stigma of being a OHW? And we play Devil’s Advocate with a list of surprising names that maybe…just maybe…could be considered a OHW. All to the very un-OHW sounds of a.o. LOUDNESS, SACRIFICE, KORN, and FAITH NO MORE. Horns down to DEVO and Horns Up to career longevity.

This episode of RADIOACTIVE METAL Originally aired on PURE ROCK RADIO July 21st, 2011. With a kick ass new record and tour currently in full swing, there’s plenty going ons in the CHILDREN OF BODOM camp. Some right in RAM’s own backyard. Our co-hort JOHN recently spoke with bassist HENNKA SEPPALA, then we run the COB gammit discussing the finer points and some not so fine points within the band’s spectrum. All this following a rather extended “Metal Fix” with ROCH and SNOWY trading war stories from the live front including said BODOM, HATE ETERNAL, and the “Scream The Prayer” tour. Of course, we accent all this with some wicked tunes courtesy of COB, GHOST, and new LOCK UP record. Proceed with caution? Nah! Giv’r head first full force. Horns Up!!
