Goodbye 2022! Hails and Horns to 2023! This new year marks the 40th (!!) anniversary of the year 1983. It was a pivotal year for our beloved genre. There were some major band formations of some of our most renowned outfits. As well, we saw some key album releases that would go to become Metal classics. So we're ringing in '23 by doing a deep dive into '83. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we hit up our first show of the year (a house show, no less). Musically, we crank some new and used from Witchery, Manilla Road, Abysmal Lord, Warrant (Ger.), S.O.B., Malhavoc, Hellion, Shining Wizard and Mother Of Graves! Horns Up, Stay Healthy and Happy New Year!

We ended '22 with some absolutely gut wrenching news. We lost documentarian, journalist and all around great guy, Bob Nalbandian. Bob's credentials are vast. He's worked with renowned record labels and wrote for promininent magazines. Most importantly, he was a friend. RAM was on the ground floor in podcasting. As was his "Shockwaves" program. So of course we became fast friends. So this time 'round we forsake most of our segments and just talk Bob. We go over his "Inside Metal" doc series, his old school "Headbanger" 'zine and all our interactions with him. Musically, we have a Fistful of Bob approved Metal including Blind Illusion, Laaz Rockitt, Hirax, Abattoir, Savage Grace, Omen, Cloven Hoof, Witchfynde and Hell Witch. Rest In Power, Bob! We love you!

We love the innovation and creativity that Metaldom never gets from Joe and Jane Average. One such examples is the new Motorhead "Bad Magic" box set. This new take on Lemmy and The Boy's final full lengther has all kinds of cool goodies. A new track, a live show and an interview with Lemmy himself. But the topper is a ouija board (!) with an "Ace Of Spades" planchette. With the idea of using it to contact Lemmy himself! So it gave us the idea of who else we'd like to contact from beyond the Metal grave. And what we'd like to ask them. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss "Big Bulbs" (?), the upcoming GG Allin biopic and "Gremlins 2" (??) Musically, we crank some new and used from Bathory, Bloodclot, Master, Embalm, Lacerated, Jennie Tebler's Out Of Oblivion and introduce Sithlord in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Merry Christmas!!

Every time Metallica releases something new (or when Lars takes a leak for that matter) it seems to get the citizens of Metaldom into a tizzy. For good or bad. And it's no exception with the release of the new "Lux Aeturna" single and the "72 Seasons" album cover. So we gave it a few spins and we weigh in on all the hub-bub, Bub. But no spoiler. Listen along with us. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we checked out the Claudio Simonetti's Goblin's "Suspiria" 45th anniversary tour, go over our RSD - Black Friday haul and "A Christmas Story" (??!!). Musically, we crank some new and used from Destroyer 666, Leatherwolf, Necromantia, Bestial Mockery, Azarath, Morbikon and The Crippler. Merry F'n Xmas!!

Even internet radio show hosts need a vacation sometime. RAM may have been silent last week but we were hardly slacking ass. We gathered up the Missus and few close friends and hit the Messes Des Morte black metal festival in Montreal. As much as we love Old Scratch's fave tunes, three straight days was a little much for us. So we enlisted the BM expertise of good friend and sister podcast "Wrestling Night In Canada" co host, "Ducky" Dustin Maruca. We dissect this awesome fest, sharing the many highs and few lows. Plus all the holiday debauchery that goes with it. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we share our Montreal music haul and crank cool tunes from Sacramentum, Deceased, Undeath, Scowl,Regarde Les Hommes Tomber, November Grief, Tipper's Gore (!!) and introduce TX bangers Scars Of The Flesh in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

It's looking like Record Store Day is getting in on the Black Friday craze. RSD is a fave holiday (yeah we said it). So we're thrilled to be a getting an extra day out of the deal. As is tradition around here we sat down and went over all the special RSD releases that have our names on them. So pull up the RSD website now, pour a Lemmy and have a looksy with us. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we review the "Weird" film and play our "Will and Should" game with the recently announced Metal/Rock Grammy nominees.

The Bay Strikes Back tour has struck. Testament and Death Angel were awesome as always. But this time 'round it was the mighty Exodus selling the show for us. So while we're still riding the musical high of finally seeing Zetro live for the first time, we decided to give the Toxic Quintet the spotlight treatment. We enlisted the Exodus expertise of one Matt Copper, co host of our sister show "Wrestling Night In Canada". Mr. Copper is a huge Exodus fan and was stoked to talk. We go over some our fave albums, songs, live experiences and our own interactions with the thrash legends. This is required listening for all Exodus fans. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we over the Decibel Top 40 Albums of '22 and meeting an NHL hockey legend. Musically, we crank some new and used from Aggression, Laaz Rockitt, Evil, Generation Kill, Freedumb, Serpent's Oath and Mothers of Grave. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Recently we lost one of the all time greats in Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro. This loss was particularly tough as our DK fandom goes back to the band's glory years while we are still in high school. We discovered Jello and the boys along with RAM alum Mark Buell. Mr. Buell is one of the minds behind Connect Humanity, an organization dedicated to bringing the internet to isolated Indigenous areas. And an original Gen X punk rocker. Mark joined us for the episode commemorating the late, great Neil Peart (Rush). But the next time we have him on it will be under better circumstances. We discussed all things DKs. When/how we discovered them, our fave albums and songs, and reminisced about old times. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we hit up the Manitoba Comic Con and local hardcore legends Crown Of Thorns' last gig. Musically we crank some DKs, Autopsy, Government Issue, Black Anvil, R.A.M.B.O., and Konquest. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Happy Bday to us!! This week's episode marks the 16th anniversary of Radioactive Metal being on the air. RAM's humble beginnings were two dedicated Metalheads goofing around in the basement. All at a time when podcasts were barely a thing. Now all these years later and...nothing's changed. We're still luvin' what we're doing on a weekly basis. So to celebrate we let our hair down, had a couple adult bevies and shot the shite'. We discussed the "Dio: Dreamers Never Die" doc, Werewolf By Night, blink-182 tix, Scooby Doo, The Crow reboot and the "Hollywood Ugly" concept. Musically, we crank new and used from Xentrix, Sword, The Exploited, Ghoul, Imprecation, Larkin Poe and Melted Bodies. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
