This week on GIMME METAL Radio:
Criminal Guest DJ Special: Sacrificio is Criminal’s ninth full-length studio album: a twelve-track bludgeoning that harks back to their roots – both literally and metaphorically. Whilst writing for Sacrificio, Criminal’s home country of Chile saw a social uprising that has impacted the lives of Chileans in immeasurable ways. Protests against corruption, inequality, and the poor standard of living saw citizens take to the streets to make themselves heard. This civil action and vehement anger seeped into the creative process of the four members of Criminal – three of them being Chilean. Although there is a deep personal connection to the lyrical content, the events unfold from the perspective of a spectator – albeit one who has also experienced tyrannical leadership and witnessed the divide between ordinary citizens and the social elite. Join Anton Reisenegger, who has been in the GIMME METAL DJ bullpen in the past, for a two-hour guest special, and get in the chat!
Wraith Guest DJ Special: By the power of Cronos and invocation of the destructive riff fury of early Metallica, Bulldozer, and Motörhead, Wraith are back with their fierce brand of No Bullshit Trash Metal! One listen to songs like “Dominator” and “Born To Die” will immediately reinforce their claim and have you moshing like it’s 1984! Get their new LP Undo The Chains, out September 24 on Redefining Darkness and get in the chat mosh with the band this Wednesday!
Metal Blade Records Show w/ Brian Slagel: Metal Blade’s legendary founder and CEO, Brian Slagel, takes control of the GIMME DJ Booth the fourth Wednesday of each month! Strap in for some stories, label history, and miscellaneous tracks he just plain likes.
Cannabis Corpse Guest DJ Special: Sharing a passion for marijuana and death metal, brothers Phil ‘Landphil’ Hall (Municipal Waste, Iron Reagan) and Josh “Hallhammer” Hall formed Cannabis Corpse in 2006 in Richmond, Virginia as a loving homage to the genre’s forefathers. The brothers decided from the start to separate themselves from the pack by infusing a green sense of humour into their horror-inspired lyrics. Meanwhile, it has become a badge of honour for many of the Halls’ idols to have one of their titles parodied by the Richmond outfit. The band’s most recent full-length, 2019’s (Cryptopsy-inspired LP title) Nug So Vile, on Season Of Mist, sounds as full and thick as ever, solidifying their place among death metal’s elite. GIMME METAL is pleased to welcome the team back for another DJ takeover!

Further exploring the realms of shoegaze, alternative, and non-metal influences while retaining elements of their brooding post-black metal, the Chicago band’s latest full-length, The Rain Will Cleanse is at once rich, atmospheric, and heavy deploying six of the band’s most inspired and infectious tracks yet.
