What have we got for you lovely people this week, eh? How about something new from Firewind and Falling In Reverse (for the young ‘uns)? What if we throw in a little Exit State, Attica Rage, Michael Schenker and Bull-Riff Stampede? That sound OK to you? Certainly does to me. What if I throw in a Spotlight on Nightqueen and a Shock Of The New featuring Stranger, Blyndsyde, Temtris, Shotgun Chaperone and Electric Boa? Sound good? Does, doesn’t it? By the way, if you’re in a band (originals or covers) and you want to be on the show, get in touch with me via the website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com , Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/wyrdwaysrockshow) or ReverbNation (http://www.reverbnation.com/wyrdwaysrockshow) and send me some files (or a CD). If I like what I hear, I’ll play your stuff on the show. You can also listen at 8pm EST on RockStarsGlued.com every Thursday and Helldoradio on Saturday at 4pm EST. If you've got a smartphone, you can also find The Wyrd Ways Rock Show on the Tune-In Radio app.

This week, we commemorate one of the greatest Metal record labels as an era comes to an end. Warner Brothers, who bought the Dutch label, Roadrunner, have decided to close the Canadian, UK and Dutch offices, sacking some of the best people in the business. There’s quite a few people who aren’t happy. What else have we got for you this week? New stuff from Asia, Silverjet, Noctem and Jettblack as well as a Shock Of The New featuring Wulfshon, Death Valley Knights, Exodia, Charlie Shred and PelleK. Something, quite literally, for everyone.

Late again, but I do have a good reason. The new Europe album, Bag Of Bones, was embargoed until 30th April, so I decided to delay this week’s show until the embargo was lifted. You’ll be hearing several tracks from the album during the run of the show. As well as that, you’ll also be hearing new stuff from Circus Maximus, Anathema and Nightqueen. This week’s Shock Of The New features Weapon, The Dead Wretched, Burlak, Inverticrux and Skelectory. By the way, if you’re in a band (originals or covers) and you want to be on the show, get in touch with me via the website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com, Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/wyrdwaysrockshow) or ReverbNation (http://www.reverbnation.com/wyrdwaysrockshow).

What have we got for you this week, then? How about four tracks from unsung German Thrash heroes, Holy Moses? They’re this week’s Spotlight band. You’ll also be hearing a decent chunk of new stuff from the likes of Allegaeon, At Vance and Shinedown as well as a Shock Of The New featuring Tyrant, Swanee River, Don’t Pet Hatchet, Iron Kingdom and Black JuJu.

Ran a little late this week. It’s worth it, though. You’ll see. New tracks from DragonForce, Heidevolk and 3 Inches Of Blood as well as a world exclusive play of four tracks from the new Keltic Jihad album. You’ll also get the return (hopefully not briefly) of Shock Of The New and an old song getting a bit of a going over in Covered. Not bad, eh? As you already know (or should), the website's at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com. You can also listen on Planet Mosh Radio at 11pm BST every Wednesday, 8pm EST on RockStarsGlued.com every Thursday or Helldoradio on Saturday at 4pm EST.

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CLXXXIX

Carl Pickles — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:16:06 GMT

Holy crap! Not a good week, this week. Sonisphere cancelled, Sabaton splitting up... not good at all. There are bright spots, though, and in this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show, we look at the good and the bad. That means music from the aforementioned Sabaton, Queen, Alestorm and the second part of Dr Jim Gets Hammered (also known as IronLord's Hammerfest Review... but I prefer the "Hammered" thing, myself!). Anyway, the website's at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com... go there, click on the e-mail link or the contact form and say "Hello".

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CLXXXVIII

Carl Pickles — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:58:13 GMT

This week, since Dr Jim went to Hammerfest and managed to blag himself media accreditation, this week’s show features the first part of a 2 part review. Beyond that, it’s the normal sort of mix. Loads of new with a bit of old thrown in for good measure, including a little something from a supergroup Steve Morse, Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy have put together. Bit of a film review at the end of the show, too. Head over to http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com for the full extended experience.

I’ve just got back from seeing the mighty Asomvel in Leeds, as I type this. Last night, they played HammerFest . With that in mind, I thought I’d take the opportunity to remind you how good they are. So they’re this week’s Spotlight band. Want to know what else is in the show this week? A bucketload of new stuff, including some major blasts from the past (especially if you were around in the late 80’s), an excellent cover version from Taking Dawn and five bands you’ve probably never heard before in this week’s Shock Of The New. Stream or download the show from http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com , listen to Planet Mosh Radio at 11pm GMT every Wednesday or Helldoradio on Saturday at 4pm EST. By the way, if you’re in a band (originals or covers) and you want to be on the show, get in touch with me via the website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com , Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/wyrdwaysrockshow) or ReverbNation (http://www.reverbnation.com/wyrdwaysrockshow).

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CLXXXVI

Carl Pickles — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:51:31 GMT

Since Ronnie Montrose passed away during the last week, this week’s Wyrd Ways Rock Show is dedicated to him, which means if you’re a Montrose fan, you’re in for a bit of a treat – four of his best songs (in my opinion, anyway) played during the show. As for the rest, it’s business as usual, really. New stuff by the bucketload, a cover version (this week played by a covers band) and the return of Shock Of The New. Want to know what else is in the show this week? Stream or download it from http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com.
