Upcoming Shows on GIMME METAL:
Venom Prison Guest DJ Special – Ash Gray from Venom Prison returns to the booth to guest DJ today, celebrating the impending release of Primevil on October 9th via Prosthetic Records. Featuring re-recordings of their debut EPs plus two brand new tracks, Primeval harks back to the force that underpinned the band’s momentum as well as demonstrates the thirst that Venom Prison possesses to continue their unprecedented growth during turbulent times. Join Gray and Larissa Stupar in the chat!
Dave Mustaine Show: Rust In Peace Special – If you missed the Dave Mustaine Show celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of Rust In Peace this week, fear not! The show will be re-airing Saturday, October 3rd on Metal 1 at 12:00pm PST / 3:00pm EST and again on Monday, October 5th on GIMME‘s Metal 2 channel at 8:00am PST / 11:00am EST. Rust In Peace, Megadeth’s fourth studio album, has been lauded as one of the best thrash metal records of all time by publications such as Decibel Magazine and Kerrang!, and is included in the reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die among countless other honors and accolades globally since it’s 1990 release. Tune in to help celebrate three decades of Rust In Peace!
Hinayana Guest DJ Special – Hinayana started out as a one-man band spearheaded by frontman Casey Hurd, and subsequently released the crushing full-length Order Divine in 2018. Otherworldly and haunting while maintaining a crushing, colossal heaviness, peppered with undeniable groove, their latest release — Death Of The Cosmic EP out now on Napalm — emphasizes improved production and keen songwriting. We welcome the band for their first guest DJ special with GIMME!
Goatwhore Guest DJ Special – Fans of extreme metal need not be prompted on Goatwhore. Forged in New Orleans in 1997, the band has battered souls through seven nefarious LPs, the most recent being Vengeful Ascension (Metal Blade Records). Their seventh full-length and second recorded reel-to-reel, Vengeful Ascension is a sonic manifestation of war, chaos, desolation, and emotional conflict, seamlessly bridging over twenty years of the band’s signature brand of audio venom. It’s a record that finds its members at their most accomplished both individually and as a cohesive unit. The critically-lauded offering toppled Billboard charts upon its first week of release earning the #4 position on Billboard’s Heatseeker Chart, #6 on the Hard Rock Sales Chart, and #11 on the Independent Chart (among others), serving as the band’s highest charting album to date. GIMME METAL welcomes the band to the guest DJ chair for the first time. Check out the tip jar while tuned in to help all our music friends sidelined from touring action.
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.
