Concert Reminder TONIGHT @ The Picador!

Doors open at 6PM.
Tickets are $15 at the door.

Show should be sweet, I will do my best to make it there. Black Dahlia Murder, Decrepit Birth and Hate Eternal.

Sadly I believe 3 Inches of Blood will not be there, but I would call ahead to make sure just in case because they are still listed on the bill at the Picador home page.

THE METAL SHOW...

IS OFF THE AIR TODAY DUE TO TERRIBLE WEATHER, CLASSES BEING CANCELED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND THE KRUI 89.7 TOWER FREEZING OVER. I REPEAT METALHEADS WILL BE DEVASTATED BY THIS NEWS BUT DON'T FORGET TO TUNE IN NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY FROM 7-9PM FOR AN ALL NEW METAL SHOW WITH YOUR BELOVED HOST RANDY.

MAKE SURE TO CRANK THE METAL LOUDLY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WHILE STAYING SAFE FROM THIS SHITTY WEATHER WE HAVE ON OUR HANDS TODAY!

AND CHECK OUT THE CD UPDATES AND CONCERT UPDATES LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER.

-OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM RANDY

The Metal Show Wants You! (DONT FORGET TO LISTEN WEDNESDAY FROM 7-9PM!)

Hey all you rockin' dudes and dudettes, Randy here giving this blog a much needed update!

I just wanted to point out, that if you check out the blog feel free to post a comment or let me know if there are any cd release dates or upcoming concerts that you would like to see announced on the blog/show.

Oh, and if you are in a sweet local metal/rock band feel free to post a comment with a link to your myspace or whatever it is you use to promote yourself so that me and the rest of the metal community at the good ol' University of Iowa can check it out!

And also don't be surprised if you see changes in the Metal Show in the coming months, well hopefully I will at least get around to some of my ideas which as of now include:
1) Upgrading the Metal Show blog to a full blown awesome Metal Show website! (this one is the most likely to happen as of now)
2) Maybe getting up some concert photos and/or reviews if I get the time.
3) Metal music beds on the show (for that professional feel)
4) A proper intro to the Metal Show

Note: This could all be wishful thinking and I may find myself lacking in the time department, but these are my goals to achieve by the end of this semester so hopefully they will get done!

If you didn't notice I updated the CD Release Dates and the Concert section as well.

the most metal DJ on the planet,

-Randy

Check out this video of Exodus's latest single Riot Act from their album The Atrocity Exhibition (exhibit A). (You can see the band live at the Reverb in Cedar Falls February 14, what better way than to celebrate Valentine's day with some metal?)

IN BIG BOLD LETTERS JUST LIKE I SAID...

I HOPE YOU ARE ALL LISTENING TO THE METAL SHOW RIGHT NOW, BUT IF NOT HERE IS THE NEW TIME...
7-9PM EVERY WEDNESDAY ON KRUI 89.7!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hey, Randy here with another update. If you didn't know the Metal Show was not on the air this week as I had a lame final to take care of. Now I am done, but I will be returning to my hometown for about a month to train further in the ways of metal and come back energized and focused to bring you all another semester's worth of the music you love!

If you didn't notice yet I updated the concert section on the right with the Black Dahlia Murder and 3 Inches of Blood show at the Picador right here in Iowa City! Aren't you excited?

Also, I will be possibly putting up minor updates on here throughout the coming weeks as I will be less busy over break than I am during when school is in session. (don't hold me to that though!)

Oh, and as far as I know next semester the Metal Show will be back on from 9-11PM every Tuesday night, but if anything changes I will make sure to update it here first in big BOLD letters so everyone sees it!

I expect all of you to listen again next year and support metal on KRUI 89.7! Oh, and if you haven't checked out the show yet you definitely should!

Merry Kissmass and a Happy Booze year,

-Randy

P.S.

Check out some metal christmas songs to get you in the holiday mood...

Twisted Sister- Twisted Christmas (get the CD!)
Manowar's cover of Silent Night, Holy Night (search blabbermouth.com for the link)
www.robhalford.com (get a free download of the Special FIGHT Christmas song, Christmas Ride while it lasts!!!)

Oh, and what would a metal show blog post be without a cool music video? Only this time it's even cooler because it is Christmas themed as well. Here is Dokken with their metal cover of Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Hang on to your lugnuts its time for an overhaul!

Hey metalheads Randy here letting you know that the blog was actually updated today! (are you as surprised as I am?)

I apologize for the lack of updates in November, but it does explain why November is the month with the highest case of suicide and coincidentally awesome heavy metal songs. Because there is so much damn stress and anger that month with classes coming to a culmination and cold weather all around.

But now Christmas cheer is rearing its head and although that may not mean great rage filled metal music it does make for metal show blog updates as well as Twisted Sister Christmas cover cds.

Listen to the Metal Show Tuesday night only on KRUI 89.7 from 9-11PM for a breaking concert announcement that comes surprisingly close to home... in fact there is going to be an awesome metal show at one of Iowa City's very own venues so you will just have to listen for that news!!!!

Oh, and it will be put up on the blog after Tuesday.

Have a metal week and listen to the metal show tomorrow night!

-Randy

While you are waiting in suspense for that update here is a little clue as to one of the bands coming...

NEW Metal Show tomorrow!

Once again be sure to check out the metal show in its new time slot from 9-11PM on KRUI 89.7!

Don't worry I will hopefully start doing better updates to the blog again soon, life has just been busy lately! But you will still get your does of metal tuesday night!
