Upcoming Shows on GIMME:
Naglfar: Guest DJ Special Premieres Friday, May 15th at 12:00pm PST / 3:00pm EST – Formed in 1992, Umeå, Sweden’s black metal nihilists Naglfar were quite prolific. It’s been a long, eight year stretch between releases, but they’ve returned from their respite ferocious as ever with their seventh studio album, Cerecloth. Welcome Naglfar for a guest DJ special today.
Magic Circle: Gimme Relief DJ Special, Sabbath Sabbatical – Live Black Sabbath Rarities Premieres Saturday, May 16th at 12:00pm PST / 3:00pm EST – It’s a Sabbath Sabbatical! On their third LP, Departed Souls (20 Buck Spin), Magic Circle presents an expansive hard rock vision, adorning their signature doom with seamless psych and prog ornamentation. A year after his first DJ special on GIMME, guitarist Chris Corry and bassist Justin De Tore return with a very special mission: two hours of rare/live Black Sabbath! They’re as big fans as they come, so expect some deep digs and play-by-play through all Sabbath eras!

Horisont: Gimme Relief DJ Special Premieres Monday, May 18th, at 8:00am PST / 11:00am EST – Big of moustache and tight of trouser, Horisont drink from the bottomless wellspring of inspiration that’s been bubbling up through the layers of time since the birth of the blues – or Blue Öyster Cult at the very least. Over a decade of songwriting workmanship comes to a head, with sixth album, Sudden Death, supercharging their mountainous ascent in an immediate explosion of rich and intricately created songs, its conception an artfully crafted three-year labor of love. Tune in for Horisont’s special on Monday, May 18th and please utilize the tip jar that will be available to donate directly to the band while touring has been interrupted due to the pandemic. Sudden Death will see release on Century Media Records May 15th.

Nemtheanga of Primordial: Gimme Relief DJ Special Premieres Thursday, May 21st at 8:00am PST / 11:00am EST – Formed in 1987, Ireland’s Primordial hit the metal world with their blasted concoction of black metal, doom, and Celtic roots music, well on display over their sprawling eight LP discography (the latest being 2018’s Exile Among The Ruins on Metal Blade). Vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga has fronted the group since 1993 and checks in with a killer guest DJ spot May 21st.
