2-26-2017 - RETRO ALBUM OF THE MONTH: CAGE - "SCIENCE OF ANNIHILATION"

When I think of Cage I think of the awesomeness of Sean Peck's vocals and the fact he is a fellow Charger fan. This album brings back a lot of memories. When this came out I had Sean on my show for the first time. It was an epic interview and as people we hit it off well. <<read more>>

 

1-26-2017 - ALBUM OF THE MONTH: FIREWIND - "IMMORTALS"

I have been a longtime fan of Firewind. I remember when "Burning Earth" came out and I was totally hooked onto their music and Gus G's guitar playing. We haven't heard from Firewind much and in fact 2012 was the last album. <<click here>>

1-31-2015 - ALBUM OF THE MONTH: SERIOUS BLACK- "AS DAYLIGHT BREAKS"

It's been very difficult to come up with a first album of the month because there just isn't much out yet. However the last couple of weeks I have had some amazing releases come my way! So after listening to many of them I decided to name the debut album by Serious Black as the Album of The Month! <<click here>>

 

1-31-2015 - RETRO ALBUM OF THE MONTH: SCANNER - "HYPERTRACE"

So I was thinking of what the first retro album of the year would be. Then I was reading online a little known German metal band called Scanner was putting out another new studio album. For a long time I had completely forgot about these guys. When I first started this show back in 1998 this was a band that I had just started listening to. In fact I liked all 4 of their albums at the time Hypertrace being my favorite because of the concept behind the album. <<click here>>
