How time flies! Summer heat brings 5 sizzlin' new titles to the classic albums section: ALIEN FORCE "Pain And Pleasure," BLACK ONYX "Armageddon Skies," DEEP THROAT "The Devil In Miss Jones," HORSE LONDON "Diesel Power," and REVENGE "Hot Zone." Don't forget to listen to DOOM Radio this Sunday to hear some of these titles as they really sound, complete with remastering and click 'n' pop removin'!!!! Injoeeeey!

FRIDAY, MAY 30TH, 2008

Five new ones for the classic albums section! That's three updates in one month!! Who would believe it? Anyway, EP's from STEEL AGAINST STEEL "From Factory To History" and WAXWING "Appetizer." Full lengths from INCINERATOR "Uh!?!," MURO "Mutant Hunter," and NORDEN LIGHT "Shadows From The Wilderness." NORDEN LIGHT features the SILVER MOUNTAIN vocalist who sang on their "Universe" album, and is a LOT heavier than most people give it credit for, despite being lumped into the melodic rock/AOR category. Listen and see for yourself! This should be in the Encyclopedia Metallum archives if you ask me.... More to come soon.

MONDAY, MAY 12TH, 2008

Added some newbies to the classic albums section! These are pretty rare and mostly unknown, so PAY ATTENTION: ATTAXE "Attaxe," a NWOBHM piece from HOLLOW GROUND "Warlord" (the jury is still out about the EXACT order of the songs and the proper album title; if you can help clarify, please email us), Norwegian 80's metal from REX BEGONIA "Rex Begonia," a hard rock meets NWOBHM type band LOOSELY TIGHT "Fightin' Society" (Thanks Vaggelis), and finally the grandaddy of the set today:
GRANMAX "A Ninth Alive." This U.S. band released this, their first album, all the way back in 1976!!! We also have their 1978 release "Kiss Heaven Goodbye" which will go up soon!! Just when you thought you knew about the fewest of titles from the mid to late 70's! More to come soon....
Sorry about no radio show Sunday. We were in Savannah over the weekend and planned to return Sunday to finish putting the show up, but due to car troubles we had to delay our return. The show will return next weekend... Thanks for your patience and understanding.

THURSDAY, MAY 1ST, 2008

You thought we forgot about classic albums fans? Naaah... Busy though we are, we have 5 new titles for ya. Two from the NWOBHM 7 inch column first, with NUTHIN FANCY "Lookin' For A Good Time" and MOBY DICK "Can't Have My Body Tonight." Heavy thrash from INFECTED "Dark Century," and STREETFIGHTER "Shoot You Down!" Finally, an 80's metal band from Iceland! And there ain't many of those, this one is BOOTLEGS "W.C. Monster." Enjoy and look for more soon!!!

SUNDAY, APRIL 13TH, 2008

A nice tribute here, since the radio show is 2 years old, we decided to rebroadcast IN IT'S ENTIRETY, The VERY first ever Doom radio show, back when we had our co-host Chris Miller... (We explain the discrepancies over the first incarnation and the second incarnation, which you'll hear before the show starts). Thanks again to all my readers, listeners, and especially Chris Miller, whose vision started this thing.... We have other early shows too that will be rebroadcast in the near future...

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2ND, 2008

No April fool's joke here, but 5 new titles, some newly remastered stuff 'n' what not... Anyway... First up, a 7 inch from SWEDEN!! What, you thought the U.K. was the only one to do NWOBHM 7 inches? This comes courtesy of ADVENTURE "Destiny." The lone EP today from Sweden's own DAMIEN "Requiem For The Dead." Q5 "Steel The Light" is long overdue, and a thrashy number from CHARGED "In Vice." Finally, an album I had only read about on one site and FINALLY tracked down, ROAD "Breaking Out." Enjoyeeee!!
As a side note, some of you may have noticed a downtime on the site the last weekend in March. Suffice it to say that the website's physical location moved from Kentucky to up north, and the servers are a LOT faster! You'll noticed this right away when listening to the RealAudio clips and streaming the radio show! IX Webhosting is AWESOME!!!

TUESDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2008

After a 5 month delay, we FINALLY present some new titles for the classic albums section: FACT "As A Matter Of Fact," ION BRITTON "Eat Metal," LIAR "Nothing But The Truth," THUNDERSTICK "Feel Like Rock 'N' Roll," and our SIXTH MASS album entitled "Kick Your Ass." We're still looking for the two Mass albums we don't have, "Rock 'N' Roll Power At 25th Hour," and "Slaughterhouse." Can you help? Email us!!!
JUST to let you know we haven't been resting on our laurels, here's some new things to expect on the classic albums section coming soon: DAMIEN "Requiem For The Dead," DEEP THROAT "The Devil In Miss Jones," REVENGE "Hot Zone," STREETFIGHTER "Shoot You Down!," ADVENTURE "Destiny," NORDEN LIGHT "Shadows From The Wilderness," BOOTLEGS "W.C. Monster," ALIEN FORCE "Pain And Pleasure," BLACK ONYX "Armageddon," ROAD "Breaking Out," REX BEGONIA "Rex Begonia," BRUTAL OBSCENITY "It's Because Of The Birds And The Flowers," ATTAXE "Attaxe," STEEL AGAINST STEEL "From Factory To History," and much more!! STAY TUNED, 2008 is gonna ROCK!!!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND, 2008

WOW! No wonder people thought the site was dead! (of course, if you've kept up with DOOM RADIO every week, you'd know better). Well, after a VERY long 3 month delay, it's finally here...
ISSUE #46 IS FINALLY, FINALLY OUT!! All respective soundfiles for this issue are up and running as well. Thanks for your patience.
Oh yea, and happy fucking new year!!!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH, 2007

Five new titles, while we are finalizing our move to another location. (Magazine's P.O. Box will remain the same.) The lone EP tonight completes our OSTROGOTH collection: "Full Moon's Eyes." A 7 inch from KEEN HUE "One Of Two," and the rest full lengths: FUCK OFF "Another Sacrifice" (cool name for a band, eh?), PAIN "Insanity," and CORPUS VILE "What Does It Take." Enjoy!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12TH, 2007

Added 5 new titles tonight.... INTRINSIC "Intrinsic," HERO "Hero," STORMTROOPER (U.K.) "Pride Before A Fall" (a nice NWOBHM 7 inch), LANADRID "Sister Alley," and a very old excursion into a metal band's earliest history: Our 5th title from Germany's MASS "Back To The Music." There's some metal elements present (check out the lyrics on 'Devil Song!') but this particular title goes all the way back to 1977!! On this title, not sure if a 10th song is missing or if it's a misprint, so if anyone has this album please confirm whether it's really 9 or 10 songs. My contacts all say there's no 10th song, so could be a misprint in the metal archives.
I am currently moving operations, so I am not sure between now and the beginning to middle of November how frequent the radio shows will be. I've only been given 30 days to find a new home, so donations are going to be extremely helpful! Thanks to everyone for their support and help, there should, however, be a new radio show up by Sunday's end...

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2007

Well, you can blame the PC game Bioshock for my lateness in getting an update done! However, five new titles today: CAMELOT "Stranger In The Twilight" and DIETRICH "Red Alert" are the lone EP's, and full lengths from ORPHAN ALLIES "Running From The Law," DAMAGE "The Immortal Death," and THUNDERSTICK "Beauty And The Beasts." More to come soon, as we always say around here!!!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2007

SOme new titles in the classic albums section.... EMERALD (HOL) "Down Town," HAMMERSCHMITT "Hammerschmitt," WEAPON "Weapon" and LAAZ ROCKIT "Annihilation Principle" (a title that has been asked about repeatedly!) The lone EP tonight is from ROLLERBALL "Outlast The Game."
We put all the news prior to 2007 on a separate page. Some entries were deleted, but we always keep the date each issue was released, as well as other important noteworthy items.... Trying to clean up clutter!!!!

FRIDAY, AUGUST 31ST, 2007

FIVE new ones tonight. EP from POSEIDON "The Final Gate," and a 6 track "album?" from the oddly named doom/death (one of the earliest examples of the genre) band SEMPITERNAL DEATHREIGN "The Spooky Gloom." Ultra rare album from CROWHAVEN "Emotional Adjustment" and albums from GOTHIC SLAM "Just A Face In The Crowd" and Japanese DEAD END "Ghost Of Romance."

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22ND, 2007

more, more, MORE classics!! ACID "Engine Beast," FACT "Without Warning," LOUDBLAST "Sensorial Treatment," the side project of Suicidal Tendencies' members NO MERCY "Widespread Bloodshed Love Runs Red," and the lone but extremely rare EP tonight: QUEEN BITCH "Queen Bitch." MANY thanks to user Foralltid from the Encyclopedia Metallium for his help in tracking down not only Queen Bitch, but also CAMELOT "Stranger In The Twilight" (played on the radio show last week) and GOTHAM. More stuff to come!!!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2ND, 2007

5 new classics, and killer ones they are! First up, one of the hardest to track down titles, SACRIFICE (JAP) "Crest Of Black." Good sick thrash, you'll dig it! Also up: KILLEN "Killen," VIVA "Dealers Of The Night," RECIPIENTS OF DEATH "Recipients Of Death," and one rare NWOBHM EP: WARRIOR "For Europe Only." Now that the magazine is out, we're working to get more classics up! Coming soon: Loudblast, Lanadrid, Fact, Gothic Slam, Liar, Emerald (U.S.), Dead End, Dietrich, Acid, No Mercy (U.S.), and many more!

SUNDAY, JULY 29TH, 2007

And the delays are over friends... ISSUE #45 IS FINALLY OUT!!! All respective soundfiles for this issue are up and checked! Only a month long delay this time... :)
There will be no radio show today, sorry for the late announcement but finishing this issue took almost the ENTIRE three days off for me!
There's a few changes to the site you may notice. We got rid of the red text links in the soundfiles page, and we're considered doing the same with the classic albums section as well. Also, if you didn't notice from the header of the new issue, ALL soundfiles for CD's reviewed are now 4 minutes in length rather than the years old standard of 3 minutes and 20 seconds. A damn near necessity in a day and age where bands LOVE the 10 minute song!

SUNDAY, JULY 22ND, 2007

TWO updates in one day! Yes, the radio show is online, hope everyone enjoyed the encore presentation we did for WREK a few Fridays ago. With the radio show tonight sees 5 new classics in the classic albums section. 7 inch from DESTROYER (U.K.) "Evil Place," and the lone EP from Scandinavian based EPEDEMIC "Futuredoom." Full lengths from TORCH "Electrikiss," CHINAWITE "Run For Cover," and the guitarist from Venom: MANTAS "Winds Of Change."

TUESDAY, JULY 10TH, 2007

While we're feverishly finishing issue #45 of the magazine, we added 5 new longplayers tonite: From France, ACE "Bad Boys," BREAKER "Dead Rider," FORCED ENTRY (hailing from Germany, NOT the U.S.) "Forced Entry," REWARD "Break Out," and LORD CRUCIFIER "The Focus Of Life." Enjoy!

SUNDAY, JULY 1ST, 2007

5 new titles this morning, right before we upload a new edition of DOOM RADIO: CALDERONE "Calderone" is the lone EP tonight. Longplayers from VIVA "What The Hell Is Going On," SACRILEGE "Turn Back Trilobite," THE NINJA "Warriors Of Rock," and a much sought after and requested title: DWARR "Animals" from South Carolina of all places! Their second full length and a bit strange. Enjoy!
On a side note, Friday night marked the first time Vibrations Of Doom EVER OPENED the WREKage show here in Atlanta. For 2 hours we controlled the boards through automation, so go check THAT out on their website: http://www.wrekage.org It was a lot of fun and we hope to be doing MORE hosting at the radio station! Be quick though, as the link will disappear this coming Friday when a new show airs. We are considering re-broadcasting the WREKage show at a later date for DOOM Radio.

THURSDAY, JUNE 21ST, 2007

Happy birthday to me!! Okay, well, my birthday was yesterday, so I thought, gotta leave presents for everyone today! And these 5 classics are ALL new band entries for ya! (No "second albums,") These are bands that have NEVER appeared in the classic albums pages before!
Full lengths from MATAKOPAS "Coming Out Ahead" and ARYON "Rebels Of The Night," and some thrashy, heavier titles from Italy's FINGERNAILS "Fingernails" and Australia's RAMPAGE "Veil Of Mourn." I haven't done one in awhile, but the 5th title today is NWOBHM 7 inch from BUFFALO "Mean Machine." Enjoy! Look for more, yadda yadda yadda... :)

FRIDAY, JUNE 15TH, 2007

5 New classics tonite... Full lengths from MEGATTACK "Raw Delivery," ROUGH "First Cut," FIRST STRIKE "Rock Of Offense," and DED ENGINE "Hold A Grudge." The lone EP tonight is from Sweden: AMBUSH "4 Track EP." Check 'em out!

FRIDAY, MAY 25TH, 2007

Working feverishly on the next issue of the magazine (literally, as I've been sick all week) we decided to put up some more classics for ya. BISCAYA "Biscaya," HUNTER "Keep The Change," Italy's CROSSBONES "Crossbones," NO MERCY "No Mercy" and mega thanks to the guys at Total Recall Music over in Germany for their help in finding the album covers to LIFE "German Heavy Rock." We would have never found covers had it not been for them, and they also carry some 80's metal as well... SO, visit them at http://www.totalrecallmusic.com!

SUNDAY, MAY 13TH, 2007

I know, I know, you guys need yer 80's metal fix... Here comes the sweet, sweet drugs... :) 5 New ones this earliest of mornings, before the radio show. Lone EP is RIP "Give Me The Night." Longplayers, mostly secondary albums from bands already in the site, like VODU "The Final Conflict," PHANTOM LORD "Phantom Lord," okay, well, that's it for repeat bands. Final 2 albums are INNOCENCE "Innocence" and ARMED FORCE "Heavy Artillery" (Well, technically, Armed Force is a repeat offender, this band changed their name from Armed Forces. WHY did they feel the need to drop the 's' from their band name?)

MONDAY, APRIL 30TH, 2007

And the classics come in the ni-i-i-i-ight! 5 new ones, BLIZARD "Hot Shot!," DARKSTARR "DarkStarr," HARLET "25 Get's A Ride," MX "Mental Slavery," and one of the titles that has been MOST requested from quite a number of people: SABBAT (U.K.) "Dreamweaver!" Injoieeeeeee!

And a 5 classic update... ANACONDA "Silent Rage" from the highly collectible Azra/Iron Works label, GAUNTLET "I Want You," LAST LIX "Tell All The World," REDSTORM "No Exeption Of A Victim Of Crime," and VODU "Seeds Of Destruction." Want more? We're working on it... :)

Also, IMPACT "Never Too Young To Rock," MAD DOG "Mad Dog," STRYKEN "First Strike," and the lone EP in PANTHER "Panther." More to come soon, stay tooned!!

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14TH, 2007

Another 5 titles tonight, some unknown ones amongst them of course! I gotta challenge your metal skills, man! ROAD "Running Away," from Norway of all places, is the lone EP tonight. Longplayers from GODZILLA "Godzilla," LIONS BREED "Damn The Night," HELLBASTARD "Heading For Internal Darkness," and finally VICIOUS RUMORS "Soldiers Of The Night." By the way: a bit of trivia info, Lions Breed eventually became the band known as Scanner! No sheat!
There will probably not be a radio show this Sunday, as I'm heading to the second largest St. Patrick's Day festival in the U.S., slated for this Saturday. We'll be back tho!

THURSDAY, MARCH 8TH, 2007

You wanna see a kick fucking ass update tonight? Well, here it is, let's see how many of these bands you know! (Besides the obvious one of course). FAITHFUL BREATH of course you know, but many have NOT heard their 1978 release "Back On My Hill," one of the first for them to go in a heavier, more rock oriented direction (and yes, we ALSO have their "Rock Lions" title too!) and it kicks ass! More like a heavier Jethro Tull I guess... Alright, see if you know about these: THUNDERSTORM "S.N.A.F.U." (featuring members from, get this, Expect No Mercy, Saxon and Paul Dianno!), SPITFIRE (Italy) "Blade Runner," METALWOLF "Down To The Wire," and the extremely rare CRYSYS "Hard As A Rock." Alright, maybe you never heard OF them but now you can HEAR them!!! GO LISTEN ALREADY! Now that the magazine's out and done, expect more insanely rare and unknown stuff like this! Here's a hint: Coming up soon is another MX album, Mad Dog, Godzilla, Gauntlet, Harlet, Vicious Rumors, Sabbat (yeah, we announced it before), and Megattack.... STAY TUNED.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1ST, 2007

Well, finally after the delays, here it is....
ISSUE #44 IS FINALLY OUT! As you also are probably aware, ALL the soundfiles that correspond with our reviews in this issue have been checked and are ready to go! SO: If you like a band you're reading the review on, then by all means, listen to the 4 or 5 songs digitized for ya in the soundfiles page! And we also keep last month's soundfiles hosted as well... TOO MUCH MUSIC TO LISTEN TO, RIGHT? See ya soon for a classic albums update...

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 2007

FIRST OFF, before we talk about actual classic albums updates... I have hosted (not GUEST hosted) WREKage TWICE now. So for about an hour and 45 minutes, I have controlled the board down at WREK. Check the January 27th and the February 17th playlists at http://wrekage.org. And I forgot to mention this, but thanks to Mitch at WREK, for not only allowing me to host, but it was his hours of hard work and trying to familiarize himself with a vicious sound program that resulted in me getting HARLEQUYN "Order Of The Golden Dawn" transferred from vinyl to CDR! Mitch went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty, and we are forever greatful.
NOW: FIVE new titles in the classic albums section tonight, mostly EP's. CROWLEY "The Scream Of Death," SUNSET "Forgotten Kingdom," and AXATAK "Axatak." Full length from BLIZARD "Blizard Of Wizard" from Japan, and a title I have spent MONTHS trying to track down. Killer thrash from MERSINARY "Dead Is Dead," and thanks to Master88 from the Soulseek network for help with this!!!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16TH, 2007

FIVE new updates for tonight, some of which need a bit of explanation... First off FAITHFUL BREATH "Fading Beauty." Recorded in 1973, this now marks the oldest title in the classic albums section. I know it's not metal, not even hard rock, but it IS one of the first recordings from the band who later gave us Viking rock classics like "Gold 'N' Glory" and "Skol." It's a part of their history, which is why it's in here. We figured people would be curious about their earliest of beginnings. And F.Y.I., we actually dig the record, with the cool mellotrons and keyboards. (well, what passed for keyboards in the 70's).
Next up HARLEQUYN "The Order Of The Golden Dawn." I've heard this thing described as psychedelic, space rock and glam. It sounds to me like a somewhat glam hard rock/melodic metal. I dunno. But it is rare, and I know it's on people's lists, so it's up there. I actually BOUGHT this on vinyl on ebay from the U.K., and the postage was more than the record costs!
Okay, last three titles: KILL VAN KULL "Eye Of The Storm," the ever elusive RAY GUNN "Ray Gunn," and a title I have been tracking down for a LONG time now! (Three copies I got of this record were all scratchy and skipped): TALON "Never Look Back." THIS album was definitely worth the wait, it kicks ass!!! More to come sewn...

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH, 2007

Classic albums update coming later... Right now, I decided to put the Sunday edition of the radio show on a day early... Why? Well, because... Fuck Valentine's Day! That's why... :) Yep, it's our special, hate filled, sick, blackened edition, so if you're looking for a pick-me-up for the upcoming commercial pick pocket fest, here ya go....
Okay, it's later... :) 5 new classics on the site today: AVENGER "Blood Sports," LABYRINTH "So Wild," MALICE "Crazy In The Night," STORMWAVE "Heroes Of The Night," and another ZERO NINE album "Visions, Scenes And Dreams." Enjoy!

THURSDAY, JANUARY 24TH, 2007

Well, besides weekly (somewhat) radio shows, tonight's update is about what it usually is: 5 new classics... (yay). :) Tonight, some ultra rarities plus some stuff ya know already. TYRANT "Running Hot" completes the list of 80's titles for the German powerhouse. Next up, HELLBASTARD with the only EP tonight, "They Brought Death" (And yes, we DO have their fulllength "Heading For Internal Darkness." Worry not.) Finally, some really cool & rare stuff.... Thanks to my friend in the band Razorfist (Mr. Kazuboski to you all) for KEEN HUE "Ogre King." A cool title! Vaggelis brings us U8 "Pegasus 1001," and a real rarity (only heard about through a Japanese site), once again thanks to Vaggelis for NATION "Ride On." MORE to come soon... Stay tuned...

THURSDAY, JANUARY 18TH, 2007

Five newbies enter the circle tonight... Full lengths from AXTION "Look Out For The Night," the ridiculously long titled EXPECT NO MERCY "Watch Your Ears And Save Your Necks, We are Back To Our Second Attack" and believe me, we're NOT writing the whole title on the site! Oh yeah, the quirky slash heavily influenced by Watchtower band SIEGES EVEN "Life Cycle," an ultra rare one from LAZY "Creature," and one of the coolest blackened-like thrash EP's in Japan's ZADKIEL "Hell's Bomber!" What is it about Japanese metal bands that do killer 80's metal? (Well, except for that Loudness thing...) Anyway, more to come soon, like, duh right? Like what?
Hmmm... Well, like another CROWLEY release, KEEN HUE "Ogre King," KILL VAN KULL, SABBAT, HELLBASTARD, BLIZARD, STRIKEMASTER, VICIOUS RUMORS, STORMWAVE, NATION, U8, SUNSET, STRYKEN, AXATAK, SPITFIRE, another ZERO NINE album, LABYRINTH, and maybe another rare MASS album! You never know WHAT we'll pull out of our collective steel helmets!!!

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13TH, 2007

Added 5 new titles tonight, AND put the Sunday edition of the radio show on a bit early. All longplayers tonight, featuring EPSYLON "Second Round," MARSHALL LAW "Marshall Law," PHILADELPHIA "Search And Destroy," TRASH "Watch Out," and VANEXA "Vanexa."

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10TH, 2007

HAPPY FREAKIN' NEW YEAR! Sorry the announcement comes ten days into the new year, but more on that later. FINALLY an update for tha classics, SIX new titles tonite... TWO are ultra unknowns, U4EA "A Power Greater Than Ourselves," and NEXUS "Gonna Find Out." The rest? CHAINSAW "Massacre" (the lone EP/7 inch), SIREN "No Place Like Home," BLOWIN FREE "The Knife And The Floosie," and HIGH TENSION "Under Tension!" Enjoy!
No radio show for two weeks and no site update? Well, our internet connection has been down... Adelphia, excuse me, NOW Comcast, is going to be unable to provide us with high speed.... We're enjoying our cable modem temporarily, but it will be down by the week's end. SO, I made sure to do all I can before that happens. HOPEFULLY we'll be running Bell South's DSL service by next week so we can at least provide a new radio show! Thanks for sticking with us!
