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.
