This week on GIMME METAL Radio:
Red Fang Guest DJ Special – After a five year sitout, Red Fang returns stridently with Arrows, out now on Relapse Records. Red Fang is Aaron Beam (bass, vocals, guitar, keyboards), Bryan Giles (guitar, vocals), John Sherman (drums), and David Sullivan (guitars). Over the course of their sixteen-year career, the Portland, Oregon-based band has released five studio albums, joined Fred Armisen in an epic battle against invading zombie hordes, were joined by Paul Shaffer during a standout performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and have created the best music videos in recent history. Arrows, which was completed in 2019, feels loose, full of the same elements that have endeared them to dedicated hordes in the past; the melodic mastery and crushing guitars, a familiar yet much welcome return. Guitarist Bryan Giles checks in with GIMME METAL for a ripping two-hour blast of metal! Don’t miss it!
Yautja Guest DJ Special – Nashville underground trio Yautja made their Relapse debut with their highly anticipated new album The Lurch. Released late last month via Relapse Records and recorded by Scott Evans at Steve Albini’s legendary Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, The Lurch amalgamates metal, punk, and noise rock into a ferocious hybrid that has propelled the band from the obscurity of the American South onto the international stage. Featuring members of several other musical projects including Thou, Coliseum, Mutilation Rites, and more, Yautja’s palpable malaise, malcontent, and sharpened edges are matched by the album’s production – the attack of noisy, whirring guitars constantly veering on dissonance are met with a destructive, mangled low end, as they march on to some of the most creative drumming in the genre. The Lurch showcases a band that is daring, experimental, and unrelenting. GIMME METAL welcomes the band to their first ever guest DJ special. Join the Live Chat for a chance to win some swag!
SLAM Spectacular with Andee Connors and Anthony Bartkewicz – It’s always a treat when these two GIMME METAL DJ veterans get together!
