IT’S A METAL ASSAULT ON YOUR SENSES

metal_horns_by_gass13-d2zwjdoThis weekend inside Hangar 19 it’s pure unadulterated metal! 3 hours of it even. No guest, no B.S. just flat out metal, with tunes from Slayer, Testament, Riot, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Overkill and more.

Our In The Vault comes from the former Guns n’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke. He was on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball in 1994 talking about his solo release Pawnshop Guitars and at this point he thought (as did everybody) that G-n-R would be getting back together, of course that never happened and Gilby has been solo ever sense.

DIO-FINDINGWe will also have a Power Set of live DIO medleys. Two medleys of DIO classics taken from his upcoming release Finding the Sacred Heart – Live in Philly 1986. This week was the 3 year anniversary of the death the metal legend and creator of the devil horns, Ronnie James Dio. R.I.P.

stairway to hellOur Then & Now comes from the reunited Ugly Kid Joe who released the E.P. Stairway to Hell last summer. Their new song “Devil’s Paradise” will be the now while the classic metal anthem “Neighbor” will be the then.

All that plus a heavy metal soundtrack recommendation that features music from all genres but has metal represented well with Korn and Motley Crue, and the movie has 3 beautiful women kicking ass.

SNAKE SABO OF SKID ROW GETS INSIDE THE HANGAR

snakeoldSnake Sabo along with Rachel Bolan started Skid Row in 1986, then went on to sell millions of records with former lead singer Sebastian Bach. After Bach left the band re-formed in 1999 with current singer Johnny Solinger they haven’t looked back. Now with a new E.P. out United World Rebellion they are proving they are still in fact the Skid Row that everyone loves and remembers.

Then we are going to go In the Vault with the all female New Wave of British Heavy Metal Band Girlschool

Exodus_bandThis week’s Power Set is from Exodus. The story goes that Exodus guitarist Gary Holt was supposed to join us, but with Jeff Hanneman of Slayer passing away and since Gary had been filling in for him in Slayer we thought it would be better for Gary to join us at a later date. Least we can do is pay tribute to his own band and get on four songs from Exodus.

Megadeth-Super-ColliderMegadeth are getting set to release their 14th studio album entitled SuperCollider We have the title track and lay down a Then & Now.

Plus this week’s Heavy Metal Soundtrack recommendation comes from the early 90′s MTV animated TV show Beavis & Butthead.

3 hours of classic metal this and every weekend inside Hangar 19.

KORN ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM WITH HEAD

KornWhen Korn announced a series of shows with the orginal guitarist Brian “Head” Welch the world of Korn fans got a little excited to say the least. Most were hoping to not just see the reunited lineup but to hear the reunited lineup. Korn fans just got their wish. Via a video on Rolling Stone’s website they have announced that the classic Korn linup of  Jonathan Davis, James ‘Munky’ Shaffer, REginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu, and Brian ‘Head’ Welch along with drummer Ray Luzier will record thier first album in 10 years together.

“We knew we would have a blast playing together, because we love each other so much, but we really wanted to make sure the music felt right before we committed to making a whole album together,” Welch tells Rolling Stone. “But since we got in the studio, everything just started pouring out, now I can’t wait until our fans hear this stuff!”

Korn are planning on a late summer 2013 release date for their newest album, which will be their first with Welch since ‘Take a Look in the Mirror’ dropped in 2003. The band, with Head along for the ride, is touring together this year as well, with dates including Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH.

 

PHOTOS OF EXODUS IN GREEN BAY

I was able to check out one of the most legendary and yet underground metal bands of the bay area thrash scene in my hometown on April 25th. Exodus blew the doors off the place! They were so good and so loud that even The head officials of The Green Bay Packers across the street at Lambeau Field could hear them. Might be why they drafted defense as Exodus hit the stage right as they picked in the NFL draft. I didn’t get a chance after the show to ask Gary Holt how he felt about the 49er’s pick but that’s a discussion we will have down the road as Gary will be joining us inside the Hangar in the very near future. Anyway for now check out my pictures of Exodus at my hometown show.
