So for the month leading up to the 31st we like to assault our senses with the appropriate stimuli. So before Oct. 1st hits we decided it would be an awesome time to give our recommends for movies, music and comic books. We share some standards but we do a deep dive into some cool stuff. Musically, we crank some awesome tunage from Deceased, Denner's Inferno, Uada, Cloak, Exorcist ('86) and Violent Life Violent Death. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) seems to be all the rage right now. Love it or hate it, it seems to have invaded the entertainment world, music being no exception. We do a deep dive into this phenom, with all the techno mumbo jumbo. Who knew back then that the science fiction from The Jetsons would become science reality. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss our recent trip to Texas (No, we didn't go blind). As well, we're once again up for a Manitoba Loud Music Award. Cast your vote at www.loudawards.com (Ambassador of the Year).

Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Couple episodes back we discussed the various unique places we've attended a gig. Now we can add "movie theatre" to that list. This past weekend the two Arlington, TX dates from the Metallica M72 tour were simulcast to theatres the world over. We both caught the Sunday show. And decided to go the event with a fine studded wristband. We go over the setlist, our theatre experiences and veer off to places unexpected. In all, a fantastic conversation! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we struggle talking about the recent Batushka gig. Musically, we crank some Onslaught, Whiplash, Dag Nasty, the aforementioned Batushka, Inepsy, Disciples Of Power, Phantom Lord and we introduce black n rollers Hellfynder in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 751: Speak ’em All
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
After our self imposed hiatus, we're back and ready to rock! But we weren't sitting back and sipping drinks on the beach. We took in some gigs. And hit the theatres and record shops. Oh, and Metallica's debut "Kill 'em All" hit the racks. Not only is "Kill..." one of the most influential albums but its also an old fave of ours. So we decided it would be a great time to dissect this album that helped shape our Metalness. We go over how/when we discovered it, our fave tracks and share some personal stories. Happy Bday, Old Friend!! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we finally caught the '87 "Trick Or Treat" in the theatre. And we took out a subscription to Thunderflixx. Musically, we crank new and used from Blitzkrieg, Hallow's Eve, Septic Death, Ripcordz, Mortal Sin, Cruelty, Wreck-Defy, Stabbing and introduce Winnipeg death metallers Inhumed and Regina punkers Bats Out in our Indie Spotlight! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 750: Dad Rock?
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
Horns Up! Episode 750! Another milestone! We've all heard the expression "Classic Rock". We have a fair idea what makes up said music. But can we put a fine pointed horn on it? Is it simply a generational thing? Or do subgenres play into it? And what this "Dad Rock" business? Does it exist? And what are the who's, whats, wheres and whens behind it? It all makes for an interesting (to say the least) conversation. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss record shopping in a brewery (??). Musically, we crank some new and used from Exhumed, Heavy Load, Black Lace, Death Ray Vision, Black Knife, Horrified, Tailgunner and we introduce Red Deer's Hooker Spit in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 749: Anytime, Anyplace
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
If there was a penalty for exceeding a maximum amount of live gigs, we'd be doing hard time. We learned the good way that a gig can be enjoyed beyond the usual venues. Over the years we taken in shows in parking lots, sidewalks, parade floats a.o. That's not even counting the myriad of basement shows. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we reminisce about the "Airheads" flick. Musically, we crank new and used from Vendetta, Marduk, MainEEaxe, Attitude Adjustment, Escuela Grind, Artificial Dissemination and Battle Born! Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 748: The Beat Of Our Own Drummer
Wednesday Jul 05, 2023
Wednesday Jul 05, 2023
As with most genres, the vocalist and axeman seem to be the ones that seem to garner the most attention and accolades. It's the rhythm section that stirs the Metallic drink though. And drummers are the unsung heroes of our beloved genre. So taking a cue from the awesome "High Infidelity" flick, we present our "Top 5" of our favourite skinbeaters. We look at not only technical skill and reputation but influence and impact as well. All making for an interesting list. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we took in the original "Evil Dead" film at the theatre (!) and discuss Aunt Jemima's "box"(??). Musically, we crank new and used from Massacre, Sacrifice, Dead Kennedys, Cryptic Slaughter, Subhumans (UK), Pupil Slicer, Sadistic Vision, Night Legion and we introduce P.E.I.'s Baited in our "Indie Spotlight".

Episode 747: Heavy Hobbies
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
We all love our Heavy Metal. But Metalheads are nothing if not diverse, with a wide variety of interests outside of our album collections. The creators of our beloved genre are no different. Some artists have excelled in their chosen hobbies. This week we discuss which artists and activities we'd love to join in their endeavours. How 'bout "football" with Steve Harris. Golfing with Alice Cooper. Or skating with Pushead himself. The possibilities are endless. And some may just be feasible. Musically, we crank some new and used from Nasty Savage, Deranged, Cloak, Culted, Nocturnal Departure, Rotten U.K., Gamerra and introduce Finnish rockers Magick Touch in this weeks "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 746: ’93 Is 30
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Ready to feel old? Remember the early 90s? Well, as of this year, 1993 is 30 effin' years old! Wow! Times flies when you're rocking and rolling. So we figured we'd do a deep dive into three decades ago and discover it wasn't all Seattle, flannel and "hard alternative". The year had a number of amazing albums, band debuts and news stories that rocked Metaldom. Musically, we have a stack of wax from Nile, Mayhem, Propaghandi, Cancer, Reagan Youth, 1349, Bestial Warlust, Electric Wizard and Funeral Mist. Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Episode 745: Poser Exposer
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
We're all too familiar with "that person". That individual who insists they "know it all" regardless of the topic at hand. As Metalheads it's particularly irritating when these posers try horning in on beloved genre. But's there's always a way to trip them up. Heavy Metal is ripe with trivia that is common knowledge to us but would expose any claims-to-be. Namely, a Sabbath vocalist not named Dio or Ozzy. Or Kirk Hammett's pre Metallica band. You get the idea. In our "News, Views and Tunes" we celebrate "Ghostbuster's Day", discuss "Flesh Gordon" (!!) and fanboy out for Spider Punk. Musically, we crank new + used from Dan Lorenzo (ex-Hades), 7 Seconds, Glass Casket, Lord Vigo, Elder Devil, Thantifaxath, and introduce Texas grinders Molly Ringworm (!!!) in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!
