Have you noticed recently how much metal on terrestrial radio sucks…or barely exists? Do you ever get tired of hearing your parents’ overplayed and antiquated hair metal anthems? Do they conjure up images of rockers adorning spandex, lipstick, and enough CFC-saturated hair spray to decimate the ozone?
Do you have the following deep-seeded questions: Was thrash still a thing after Metallica went black? Was there ever any new metal ever made other than…“nu” metal?
Do you hate grunge because it was the meteorite to your dinosaur subgenres?
Are these questions rhetorical or…?
Just shut up and listen! Now, where was I…? Oh yeah!
More importantly, have you been craving something massive, epic, crushing, rapid, brutal, pummeling, fast, artistic, progressive, avant-garde, and…dare I say…perhaps a bit heavy, too? (Do rhetorical questions get you more pissed off than listening to grindcore?)
Well, tough shit. Because that’s an exaggerated expectation that no one can deliver on. However, I think we’ve got the next best thing for you.
Tune in Tuesday nights from 9-11. For those of you who have been searching for a program which glorifies your favorite metal artists of the past, present, and future (*Disclaimer: Radio program does not operate as time machine, nor do DeLoreans.*), we’ve got you covered.
Thrash? We got it. Speed? We got it. Power? We got that, too. Death? You bet your sweet headbanging ass we’ve got some of that. Goth? Ditto. Industrial? A bit. Alternative? Wouldn’t be college radio without it. Progressive? Out the wazoo. Avant-Garde? The likes of which you’ve never heard of.
Are there artists who have been relevant in the last five years? Most definitely.
When can I listen?
Weren’t you paying attention earlier?!
Tuesday nights from 9-11. We’ll start off nice and easy in hour one. But in hour two, we’ll eventually climax into a cacophonic crescendo worthy of summoning forth the hellish pandemonium depicted by Milton in Paradise Lost…just in time to get you warmed up for The Rusty Cage.
The Heaviest Matter in the Universe
