Episode 792 - "Stay Hungry, Canada" 2:24:02

6d ago2:24:02

2:24:02

The classic album "Stay Hungry" from the legendary Twisted Sister is one of Metaldom's most celebrated efforts. The singles spoke to us. Some songs creeped us out. Most importantly, it scared the hell out of the non-believers that needed the fright. It also turns 40 this year! So we gave it the deep dive treatment in our continuing '84 Anniversary …

Episode 791: Lightning Strikes! 2:03:23

10d ago2:03:23

2:03:23

We all love Metallica here in the RAM offices. But those first four 80s albums was when our fandom burned brightest. And depending on the day, Record #2 "Ride The Lightning" is one of our faves. The combination of brutal thrash, brilliant musicianship and songwriting and bombastic attitude also makes it one of the more influential underground album…

Episode 790: G3 '25 2:01:52

19d ago2:01:52

2:01:52

Last episode during our conversation about Yngwie Malmsteen's ripping debut, we causally mentioned the classic G3 tour. The G3 was a triple threat attack feat. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson. It's a concept that had musical affianiodoes all abuzz. So we figured we'd share some of our fantasy G3s. Not only more traditional, but multiple su…

Episode 789 - Unleashing The Fury 1:53:05

27d ago1:53:05

1:53:05

'84 saw the solo effort from axe virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen. "Rising Force" is an appropriate moniker as the record took the Metal World by storm. Not to mention it was kind of a trailblazing release. The 80's was definitely the era of the flamboyant frontman. But Malmsteen chose to let the music do the talking...literally. So this week we go throug…

2:41:20

The music world rejoiced with the announcement of the upcoming "This Is Spinal Tap" sequel. Over the years The Tap has amassed such a strong and loyal following that we sometimes forget that it's not a real band, per say. Matter of fact, over the years some of our fave songs have been produced by ficticous outfits from various movies and TV. As Met…

Episode 786 - Mag Tag 2:04:32

2M ago2:04:32

2:04:32

Rolling Stone magazine took their moniker from the obvious place. We recently learned that CREEM mag did indeed borrow their name from the legendary Cream. So we realized there were a lot of artist's names that would make magazine titles as well. So this week we compiled our own list whose names fit the description of a cool magazine. "Jimi" would …

Episode 785 - Normie Fright 2:23:42

2M ago2:23:42

2:23:42

Our beloved Heavy Metal has always illicited strong reactions. The strong is evident by the huge international fan base. While the negative, let's just say HM has a rich tradition of scaring the hell out of Joe and Jane Average. Not only by the imagery that frequently goes along the music. But the emotions and ideals that back it up. Artists like I…

Geek Week 2:42:10

2:42:10

Warning: This is going to be a unique episode. We had so much of our other pop culture interests going on this week. So we decided to let what's left of our hair down and discuss our "Geek Week". This past weekend saw "May The Fourth", for all the Star Wars enthusiasts. As well as "Free Comic Book Day". Think RSD but for comics. Finally we discusse…

Horns! Raise your goblets high as the mighty Ozzy Osbourne has been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. Sure, the Ozz Man is already in with Black Sabbath. But the guy has a storied solo career worthy of induction. And not just for the vast discography and concert draw. Ozzy is a household name courtesy of a number of other avenues. Some go…

The 2024 Record Store Day is in the books. We had a variety of RSD exclusive releases in mind when we set out this past weekend morn. One particular platter was the '77 Ennio Morricone "Orca" soundtrack. The flick is an old fave about a vengeful killer whale seeking revenge on the fisherman that slaughtered his family. We obsessed over this record,…

Multiverse Of Metal 1:34:38

1:34:38

We have a number of pop culture interests outside our beloved genre. Our fandom in the wonderful world of comic books outdates our residency in Metaldom. Indie comic companies have been clamoring to present stories about and inspired by current Metal artists. There have been some cool crossover stories as well. Think Elvira meets Vincent Price. So …

A Questionable Episode 2:29:11

2:29:11

Regrets, we've had a few. The biggest regrets we've had with RAM is the passing of some legendary figures before we had the chance to sit down with them. We can only imagine what questions we would have picked their brains with. So now we're doing the next best thing. We compiled a list of deceased artists and present a question we'd like to throw …

Welcome to our second installment of our Deep Dive series on all the awesome albums celebrating their 40th anniversary i.e. from '84. This week we're looking at Rush's "Grace Under Pressure".

What's In A Word? 2:10:25

2:10:25

Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves. Verbally, we all have our own words and expressions. Metaldom is no exception. If anything we have more unique words in our verbal arsenal than Joe Average. Off the top of our heads, "Axe" (for guitar) comes to mind. So with that starting point, we dive into a laundry (all black, of course) list …

You can literally count on one hand the years the mighty Slayer have been disbanded. Now an impending reunion for multiple festival dates have been announced. Needless to say, this has Metaldom all a buzz. And of course once the announcement was made, the interwebs was flooded with misinformation causing confusion. So this week we pick our way thro…

As we yacked about last episode, 1984 was an amazing year for Metaldom. A major part of that awesomeness was the incredible amount of new records that filled the new release racks. So with these albums celebrating their 40th anniversary, we decided to give some of them the deep dive treatment. KISS' "Animalize" is an album near and dear to our Meta…

How does the time fly? 1984 was an incredible year for Metaldom.

Apart from the amazing records, there were an obscene amount of mandatory outfits that f…

It's that time again. The nominees for this year's Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame have been announced. This list always to seem raise both the eyebrows and ire of music fans.

Bucket List moment! The '79 Ramones teen comedy "Rock n Roll High School" is an old fave of ours. We have it on DVD, various streaming platforms and have it practically memorized. But we never got to see it in the theatre...until now. Our local arthouse theater aired it is as part of their Cult Movie Night. So with the experience still fresh in our…

The Rush Of Black Metal 2:08:45

The debut full lengther from the almighty Venom "Welcome To Hell" is one of the most influential underground albums ever. Not only in the Black Metal realm but thrash and NWOBHM as well. Its also the album that turned Snowy to Metal full time. We've often said "No Venom, No RAM". Turns out though, Aaron wasn't familiar with this classic (!). So we …

Sure streaming is ruling the roost when it comes to how music is consumed. But the vinyl album is slicing their piece of the pie more and more. Metalheads have always been more album oriented as opposed to just cherry picking a few tracks. And for good reason. There have been numerous albums over the years that are best served whole. Albums that ar…

We admit it, we're old. But with age comes experience. We've witnessed firsthand the majority of the techno marvels we take for granted today. One of our faves was the rise of the home video phenomenon. It was a fun and exciting era. We had the ability to see our favourite flicks at home. As well, it had its effects on Metaldom. This week we go ove…

New Year's Eve was pretty low key around the RAM offices. We had a night of PJs and popcorn. So we decided this year we would save the partying for you the listeners. We ditched our usual segments and broke out the Lemmys. As we "tipped the elbow", we discussed a variety of topics. Those included our new "Frankenstein" bass, our Christmas hauls, "T…

As of this episode, the year is starting to wind down. But before you start rockin' in the New Year, now is a good time to discuss some of the events that made 2023 the year that was.

Metal and Punk bands are no strangers to the whole acronym for their name thing. Instead of spelling out their multi word monicker, it's just easier to focus on the first letters.

Cover songs can be rather divisive amongst Metal fans. Some see it as a loving tribute. Others see it as a complete waste of time and effort. Around the RAM offices, we love a good cover song. Particularly a blast from the past being paid homage being paid by a current hotshot. But which is preferred? The original...or the cover. So we figured we'd…
