King Fowley / Deceased Guest DJ Special – Deceased’s founding mainman King Fowley is a metal lifer, and one who’s escaped death on multiple occasions (see his autobiography Stay Ugly for one rollercoaster ride of rock history). A truly respected warrior in the world of metal and a larger-than-life character, GIMME METAL is  honored to have Fowley host his own episode. Deceased released an all-covers record called Rotten To The Core 2 (The Nightmare Continues) this past Summer.

And please utilize the tip jar to help all our musical friends sidelined from touring activity.

Murder Falcon / Brooticus Special with Felipe Belalcazar and Daniel Warren-Johnson – The world is under attack by hideous monsters, and only the power of metal can fuel Murder Falcon into all-out kung-fu fury on those who seek to conquer Earth!! Film Director Felipe Belalcazar sits with Murder Falcon author and DC Artist Daniel Warren-Johnson to discuss killer riffs, sci-fi monsters, and saving the world through the power of metal.

Michael Alago Guest DJ Special – New episode! Michael Alago spent the mid-1970s as a denizen of Max’s and CBGB, revelling in newfound musical freedom and how it related to him as a gay Latino kid growing up in Brooklyn. He started a Dead Boys fanclub and grew into a downtown music scene fixture, eventually booking gigs at The Ritz. He then found himself ascending to an A&R position at Elektra ultimately signing Metallica to the label, as well as working with countless other legends. Drew Stone’s 2017 documentary film Who The F*** Is That Guy? chronicles Alago’s travels, trials, new resurgence in life, and his outlook. GIMME METAL is pleased to welcome Alago for another DJ special.
Dread Sovereign Guest DJ Special  – Dread Sovereign was formed in Dublin, Ireland in 2013 by Primordial vocalist Nemtheanga to give praise to filthy cult old doom, black, and heavy metal. Their first EP – 2013’s Pray To The Devil In Man – came out on Roadburn/Burning World Records to coincide with the band’s live debut. Soon after, two full-lengths were released by Van Records: All Hell’s Martyrs (2014) and For Doom The Bell Tolls (2017). And now, in early 2021, the band will release their new album, Alchemical Warfare, through Metal Blade Records. On Alchemical Warfare, Nemtheanga’s soaring voice wages war with the dirt-caked instrumental action behind him, total doom with some flares of Hawkwind. Nemtheanga returns for his second GIMME METAL guest DJ set on Monday, January 18th at 3:00pm EST / 12:00pm PST where he’ll also be available in the live chat.
