This week on GIMME METAL:
Tetrarch Guest DJ Special – Fierce individuality and a fearless embrace of the outsider are at the heart of Tetrarch’s second LP, Unstable, out now on Napalm Records. A band equally defined by metallic power and melodic hooks, Tetrarch seamlessly blenda technical chops and aggressive ferocity with menacing groove and massive choruses, obliterating musical barriers in the process. Check them out on their guest DG special on GIMME METAL 2.
Evile Guest DJ Special – UK thrash metal heavyweights Evile will release their Hell Unleashed full-length via Napalm Records April 30th marking the band’s first album in eight long years! Since their formation in 2004, EVILE have been turning heads and taking names, delivering four pure thrash offerings blended with an uncompromising death metal assault. Hell Unleashed, the long-awaited successor to their 2013 release Skull, is no exception. The record boasts a new lineup featuring Ol Drake on vocals/guitars and new recruit Adam Smith of RipTide on rhythm guitars as well as a guest appearance by comedian/GIMME METAL host Brian Posehn! Don’t miss Ol Drake taking over the DJ booth for what’s sure to be two hours of crushing sounds.
Cinco de Metal Nukebox Mexican Special – Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Let’s celebrate by spotlighting some of Mexico’s most crushing exports! The show will include thrash, death, traditional heavy metal, and everything in between. Catch the festivities on both GIMME METAL 1 and GIMME METAL 2 channels!
Domkraft Guest DJ Special – While so many doom/sludge bands revel in apocalyptic themes and darkness these days, Swedish psychedelic doom trio Domkraft focus on the idea of emerging from the ruins to start anew, building something different and better beyond the cataclysm. Mind you, they still preserve the spirit of crumbling amp stacks and oppressive atmospheres, culling moves from Swans, Sleep, and their ilk. Their latest offering, Seeds, out now on Magnetic Eye Records, the band delivers a detailed map to a groove-driven heavy rock utopia, where humankind can evolve and unite. Better living through monolithic volume!
Molten Guest DJ Special – Bay Area metal quintet Molten fuses thrash, death, doom, and black metal to deliver a straightforward assault to listeners’ ears. Following the release of their eponymous EP in 2019, the band went straight to work on their first full-length record, Dystopian Syndrome (out now) and recently issued an awesome mini-horror movie which doubles as an extended official video for the track “Zombie’s Curse,” produced and directed by Chris Corona. The setting: Late Summer 2020. The world is in turmoil. Against a backdrop of endless fires and an ongoing viral pandemic, a vaccine promoted by the US president meant to keep the dying sick alive has backfired and the country is being overrun by the undead. ZOMBIES! The only retaliatory attack: aggressive metal! Which they will share with non-zombie listeners on their GIMME METAL guest DJ spot later this week.
