Upcoming on GIMME METAL:
Hrom Guest DJ Special – From the frozen northlands of Calgary, Hrom — Slovak for “thunder” — was forged in 2008 by Slovak-Canadian vocalist Jan Loncik. Through various evolutions and prime locals gigs with the likes of Diamond Head and Ross The Boss leading up the latest release, Legends Of Powerheart: Part II, the band radiates classic metal fandom and extreme precision. There’s some fierce power/speed gallop in this sweet slab of Albertan Steel and Loncik’s rich and layered vocal sear is sure to break some ice out there! GIMME METAL welcomes the full band to their first ever guest DJ special!
Ilsa Guest DJ Special – Washington, D.C. doom bringers Ilsa released their mauling sixth full-length, Preyer, via Relapse Records earlier this Fall. On Preyer, Ilsa embraces sonic pummeling like never before. Recorded as the world shuttered away in 2020, the band harnessed the fears and uncertainties of troubled times and used these as driving forces for their unnerving metal’s raw, chaotic, and whipping intensity. The result is a new, full-length that delivers overdoses of crushing doom and menacing death metal. Don’t miss the band’s Joshua Brettell as he takes over the DJ console this Tuesday.
Cadaver Guest DJ Special – Back with a vengeance and hell-bent on destruction, Norwegian death metallers Cadaver dropped their Edder & Bile full-length via Nuclear Blast last month. The record marks the new incarnation of multi-instrumentalist Anders Odden’s original, extreme metal vision of the band now featuring Megadeth sticksman (and host of GIMME‘s weekly Wednesday ritual, Dirk’s Extreme Blast), Dirk Verbeuren. A longtime fan of Cadaver, Verbeuren met Odden in 2014 and started drumming with him shortly thereafter. The evolution of songs in the wake and eventual reboot of Cadaver led to studio time in Los Angeles and the creation of Edder & Bile. The crystallized nug of rawness and primitivity that earmarked early Cadaver is well repped here, a true feast of filth. Don’s miss Odden’s first ever GIMME METAL special.
GIMME 5 with DJ Jet – Listen in as Jet chats with five artists about their latest offerings. This edition includes interviews with German thrash metal legends Sodom about Genesis XIX (eOne/Steamhammer), death doom practitioners Pulchra Morte about Ex Rosa Ceremonia (Transcending Records), progressive deathcore unit Within The Ruins about Black Heart (eOne), extreme metalists Scour and their Black EP (Housecore Records/Nuclear Blast), and Karl Sanders of Nader Sadek’s death metal project and the independently released The Serapeum single/EP.
