Upcoming Shows on GIMME METAL:
Warfect Guest DJ Special – Founded in 2003, Warfect is one of the most convincing yet underrated acts in the Swedish metal scene. Straight from the Gothenburg underground, the three-piece carries their full blackened thrash metal potential to the next level with their fourth studio album Spectre Of Devastation, out now on Napalm. The record features a rich production courtesy of Fleming Rasmussen, who manned the board for three classic Metallica LPs. GIMME is very pleased to welcome the band to a guest DJ takeover. Be sure to join in on the live chat with them during the show’s first airing!
Hjelvik Guest DJ Special – Hjelvik is a blackened Viking heavy metal solo-band from Norway founded by former Kvelertak frontman Erlend Hjelvik. Hjelvik’s debut full-length, Welcome To Hel, out now on Nuclear blast, is based on Norse mythology and history and includes all the trappings of a lucrative Viking pillage. The album includes special guest appearances by Matt Pike (Sleep, High On Fire) as well as Mike Scalzi (Slough Feg). Erlend will patrol the GIMME airwaves with two hours of his metal faves.
Tombs Guest DJ Special – Brooklyn’s Tombs will return to GIMME METAL next week. The band’s latest full-length, Under Sullen Skies, recently issued via Season Of Mist, delivers the blackened fury of extreme metal, intertwining with savage, doom-laden brutality. Focusing on dark and foreboding tales of folklore and the occult, it captures the agonizing misery, furious vexation, and psychological turmoil that is ravaging humanity at present day. GIMME welcomes Mike Hill back for another killer selection of tracks. Hill will also be available in the live chat for the show’s first airing. Don’t miss it!
