It's that time of year again... When metal heads from around the country are bound, gagged and dragged to MDF. Perhaps I'll see some of you in this Graveyard over there, or perhaps you don't actually exist. Either way its happening and word on the street is I, Sam, Mindy and others will probably be there too.

Bit of a mixed bag of good and bad news in this week's show. The good news is that Black Sabbath’s new album is due in mid-June. The bad news is that after a long illness, fighting Multiple Sclerosis, Clive Burr, the original Iron Maiden drummer, has passed away. As such, this show is dedicated to him and his memory. With that in mind, there’s ( Read more... )

Are you a fan of Uriah Heep?  If you are, this week’s Wyrd Ways Rock Show has definitely got something for you.  Namely about half a dozen tracks from the aforementioned band AND an interview with their drummer, Russell Gilbrook, recorded backstage at the RNCM in Manchester on the 23rd of February.  As usual, there’s also plenty of new stuff, ( Read more... )

What have we got for you in this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show, then?  Want some Thrash?  Got it.  Power Metal?  Yup, got that too.  Straight ahead Heavy Metal?  Guess what?  Some of that, too.  To narrow it down a bit, there's Hatriot (featuring Steve "Zetro" Souza, formerly of Exodus), Sonata Arctica and Flotsam And Jetsam.  There's also a nice, ( Read more... )

In this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show, there's absolutely tonnes of new stuff.  You want to hear new material by Skarlett Riot, Audrey Horne, Cult Of Luna and Voivod?  You came to the right place this week.  Nearly two and a half hours of quality Hard Rock and Metal.  Can't really say fairer than that, can I?  www.wyrdwaysrs.com for the playlist.  Go ( Read more... )

We're pretty much back to normal for this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show.  Couple of bits of sad news about Anthrax and Power Quest, but new music from Holy Grail, Beholder, Flotsam And Jetsam and the wonderfully named Lightning Swords Of Death to name but five.  What else do I have for you this week?  You'll have to point your browsers at www.

This week's show is the second Wyrd Ways Rock Show Review Of 2012.  That means quite a few people sending me their ideas of what was the best album of 2012 and picking a track from it.  Amusingly, and since I didn't really have time to do much research on this one, this week's show has more mistakes than any of my previous shows!  Huzzah!  Anyway, ( Read more... )

It's the traditional end-of-year behemoth from the Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Six, yes I did type SIX hours of the best Metal from the year of 2012. How can people say that Metal is dying when, off the top of my head, I can pull together SIX HOURS of individual tracks? Only one from each album, too. OK, I did have a little help from Dr Jim, but still... ( Read more... )

A friend of mine was telling me how she can't get enough of this album... And now neither will any of you.

Enjoy.
