Midnite Madness CXVII—2018, PT. I

2018 was another fantastic year in the history of heavy metal, and this 60-minute, first-part round-up of the year's best pretty much proves this. Of course this is in no way a definitive 2018 list, but it's a good start at one, anyways.
Thanks to all the bands and labels for keeping the metal real, and to you (all 12 of you) for listening in. I will return on January 8th, for more MIDNITE MADNESS.

Midnite Madness CX—Hellfire and Funeral Bells

Definitely forgot to play Mercy on this show, but as the next show will be a tape-only broadcast, it'll have to be another time. Soon!

Midnite Madness CI—High Don't Give A Fuck

See you October 21st for more MIDNITE MADNESS, maniacs!

DEMOndays XX

I know it's been a month since I last posted a demo on here, apologies. Just been busy and sick, but mainly busy being sick. Lame!
ANYWAYS, here is one of the best demos of the so-called "modern era"—Bastard Priest's d-beat death metal blitzkrieg, Merciless Insane Death, ripped from my own copy of the demo. Yes, these tracks are the B-side of their debut "album", Under The Hammer Of Destruction, but I am fairly sure they re-mastered it or re-recorded the drums or something, because this version sounds way better. Hard to believe it is almost 10 years old, too, but really hoping for a return from these lords one day soon. Was killer to see Maim play the title track of this (with Sindre of Obliteration on vocals if memory serves me correctly?) at Live Evil 2011. Mightiest hails to Matt Mendoza and Inventor. Death metal or DIE!!!

Midnite Madness LXXIX—2015

ALRIGHT. Definitely the last show of the year, which is always a recap of the year's best releases. Thanks again to all the labels for sending me stuff—Daragh at Invictus, Iron Bonehead, High Roller Records, Hells Headbangers, NWN, Svart, Metal Blade, etc—and to you, the listeners, for keeping the show alive.
As mentioned in the show, I will be doing hourly broadcasts in 2016. I think this will keep the show fresher and more to the point, so look out for show dates real soon. SLÁN.

DEMOndays XII

ALRIGHT. One from the collection here, something I first heard thanks to Cato's inclusion of it on the Thrashing Rage Vol. III comp. from 2012. Apparently I played the very same track on a pretty ripping South American bands-only show later that year, here.
But anyways, back to Chile, where Occult hails from. Other than this and the what's on the Archives (nothing), I don't know anything about the band except it reminds me of Körgull The Exterminator or maybe Infernal Curse from Argentina or Damnation from Sweden. So yes, kind of Bathory-infused thrash. Killer stuff, all scans in the zip folder. No bootlegging!

Occult (Chile) Metal Darkness [2011]

Maniac Monday XL - Fight Back III—Never Leave DIS War

Thanks to all who waited patiently for this show, apologies to those who tuned in a few weeks back to find no show whatsoever, but it's here, finally.
Fight Back III—Never Leave DIS War was by far one of my favourite shows to compile, however fucking long it took. I originally had an in-studio guest for the projected but doomed live show at the end of August—shouts to Deano for making a list, even though we never got to play it out. Hopefully he will come on another time and play more mangel for the Maniac Monday horde (should such a thing even exist).
Maniac Monday returns on September 23rd with a show of all-new metal, with tracks from the (FUCKING KILLER) new Obliteration, Infant Death, Ranger, Manifesting, In Solitude, Ensnared, Condor, plus more. You know what to do.

Maniac Monday XXXIII - Unholy Forces of Evil

Thanks again to all who tuned into Monday's show, which turned out to be none other than the elusive black metal show I've been banging on about, playing mainly late 80s and early 90s styles. The second half of the show pays homage to the majestic The Four Norsemen—Burzum, Darkthrone, Immortal, and Mayhem.
Maniac Monday will return like the plague itself on June 3rd where I will be unleashing another demo onslaught, be prepared!

Maniac Monday XXIV - United by Hatred

Here's the playlist for 2013's virgin Maniac Monday—United by Hatred—a vinyl mix by myself and my buddy Chris Maaan, where played one on, one off, after two MP3s at the beginning (sell me your Journey To Mystery/Season Of The Dead maniacs!).
Tune in to NTS on January 28th where guest Heathen Steven of London upcoming heavy metal maestros Amulet—who KILLED at London's Underworld last week—will be joining me and playing some heavy metal. 'til then, DIE YOUNG!!!
