Upcoming Shows on GIMME METAL:
Hellripper Guest DJ Special – Hellripper is a one-man black/speed metal band from Scotland very much in the vein of old-school bands such as Venom, Kreator, Sodom, etc. With a steady stream of releases since forming in 2014, Hellripper’s intentions are clear: Total fucking mayhem! Hails to the encore return of James McBain to rip it up on his second DJ special, celebrating the release of his new album, The Affair Of The Poisons, out October 9th on Peaceville Records.
Exciter Guest DJ Special – Formed in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1978, Exciter have staked their claim as true godfathers of speed and thrash metal. They’ve evolved through many phases over the years yet are still actively ruling with a dedicated foundation of fans. Founding bassist Allan Johnson and guitarist Daniel Dekay take over the GIMME DJ console with a killer selection of songs in tow.
Brian Posehn Grandpa’s Metal Stash: Van Halen Special – Infamous actor/comedian Brian Posehn has a new spin on his reoccurring show on GIMME METAL. This week, Posehn celebrates the work of late guitar legend Eddie Van Halen. Brendon Small (Dethklok), Alex Skolnick (Testament), and Scott Ian (Anthrax) all check in to talk about their introductions to Van Halen’s music, and pick an essential cut. Don’t miss this very special show.
Plague Years Guest DJ Special – Mining the subterranean depths once unearthed on classic Sepultura albums like Beneath The Remains and Arise, with the vicious bite of Germanic slabs like In The Sign Of Evil by Sodom and the Hall of Fame ’80s output of Slayer, the devilish and down-tuned death worship within Detroit-based crossover death thrashers Plague Years serves as a demonic calling card for the foursome; a brutal counterbalance to their otherwise like minded thrash revivalists. On Circle Of Darkness, the band’s full-length debut out now on eOne, Plague Years reunites with engineer Arthur Rizk, whose work with Power Trip, Tomb Mold, Candy, and Cavalera Conspiracy has propelled him to the front of the horde amidst the resurgence of crossover thrash. Don’t miss the band’s guest DJ special on GIMME this Tuesday!
Geld Guest DJ Special – Melbourne’s Geld are characterized by raging incendiary hardcore collisions with nightmarish bad trip wanderings in a swirling maelstrom of tightly marshalled chaos. Their latest offering Beyond The Floor (Iron Lung) is injected with a metallic/hardcore destructo bend of paranoia and psychological dissolution. Purportedly undertaken as something of an exorcism, the writing and recording of Beyond The Floor was characterized by “pills, meth, booze, weed, DMT, hate, betrayal, fear, love, depression, addiction, denial and broken bones.”
Ripple Music Label Guest DJ Special – After launching the great Ripple Effect blog and radio show in 2007, Ripple Music inevitably became a label and go-to destination for the rise of great proto-metal reissues from the likes of the JPT Scare Band and Poobah. Today, the California label thrives with a slew of heavy/stoner/doom releases in its stable, including Warcloud, Cortez, High Priestess, Stonebirds, Wino, and more. Label co-founder Todd Severin takes over for a special on GIMME to show off his wares and play some other faves of the genre.
