This week on GIMME METAL Radio:
Michael Alago Guest DJ Special – Michael Alago spent the mid-1970s as a denizen of Max’s and CBGB, revelling in newfound musical freedom and how it related to him as a gay Latino kid growing up in Brooklyn. He started a Dead Boys fanclub and grew into a downtown music scene fixture, eventually booking gigs at The Ritz. He then found himself ascending to an A&R position at Elektra ultimately signing Metallica to the label, as well as working with countless other legends. Drew Stone’s 2017 documentary film Who The F*** Is That Guy? chronicles Alago’s travels, trials, new resurgence in life, and his outlook. GIMME METAL is pleased to welcome Alago back to the DJ seat (with his usual star-studded array of guest IDs)! Airs TODAY, Monday, August 30th at 11:00am ET/8:00am PT with rei-airings Friday, September 3rd at 9:00pm ET / 6:00pm PT and Tuesday, September 7th at 7:00pm ET/3:00pm PT.
GIMME 5 with DJ Jet – Jet’s monthly spotlights and interviews roll on. This month she catches up with Carnifex (World War X), The Absence (Coffinized), Carcass (Torn Arteries), Nunslaughter (Red Is The Color Of Ripping Death), and Portrait (At One With None). Don’t miss it!
Rivers Of Nihil Guest DJ Special – Reading, Pennsylvania’s Rivers Of Nihil have never fit neatly into a box, but with 2018’s Where Owls Know My Name, they transcended all labels applied to them. Returning with The Work, set for release next month via Metal Blade Records, they’ve forged further into new territory, delivering an album that is as cerebral as it is visceral, and that covers a staggering sonic range, definitively placing them in a category of their own. Join drummer Jared Klein for a very special DJ takeover and get in on the live chat!
Mordred Guest DJ Special – Mordred was formed in 1984 as the Bay Area thrash scene was rising to global prominence. While their precise style of power metal riffing was no different from that of other Bay Area stars such as Testament and Forbidden, the band distinguished themselves thanks to their uncommon use of upfront bass work and integration of funk and hip-hop influences, even dropping in some bonafide turntablism. In fact, their 1989 debut, Fools Game, contained a cover of Rick James’ funk classic “Superfreak,” featuring scratches courtesy of DJ Aaron (Pause) Vaughn. Mordred’s recently issued The Dark Parade full-length, out on M-Theory Audio, is their first album in 25 years, and first since their 2013 reunion. The record showcases the band’s revitalized energy as well as their classic sound. GIMME is pleased to welcome guitarist Danny White and bassist Art Liboon to the DJ console. Join them in the chat!
Deafheaven Guest DJ Special – For the past ten years, the seminal San Francisco band Deafheaven has been driven by evolution and innovation within themselves and their respective genres. With their Infinite Granite full-length recently released via Sargent House, the band embarks on a new chapter of defiant beauty. Utilizing an ethereality and atmosphere of heightened emotion via more sublime and cerebral avenues, Deafheaven are quite different here, yet no less overpowering. Infinite Granite is a dazzling display, taking the listener into new terrain with a combination of George Clarke’s unfettered vocals and the distinct blackgaze sound that sends them to the stratosphere. GIMME is very pleased to welcome guitarist Shiv Mehra and drummer Daniel Tracy to the DJ seat next week.
