Not to be rude' date=' but have you considered playing more material from metal subgenres other than those offered by most local rock radio stations?[/quote'] Thanks for the feedback Iceni, I really appretiate it. But for now want to focus on Big heavy metal bands and centered in thrash, hair, and some death and power metal. If the station pick ups the for sure I will conside expandig to other subgenres Thanks

If you don't mind I'm going to question the logic. How do you plan on breaking into a market heavily saturated with established competitors? True, there may be external economies of scale in the radio industry that reduce costs, but that doesn't necessarily help your station vis-a-vis others that people already know and love, which interestingly enough brings me to my point. Expanding into other genres from the outset would immediately help delineate your product from the legions of heavy metal/hard rock stations out there. Sure, it doesn't necessarily have to be over 50% of the material you play, but setting aside maybe 10% of airtime for other genres might be a good way of getting some recognition. There's a substantial amount of beloved death metal from the 90's - doom and prog were also expanding then. It's a good thing that you plan on playing some power metal, that's a genre that doesn't get a lot of play outside of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. However, I think it would help things if you further establish your radio station as being open to all classic metal and not just the material most folks have already heard.

That does not answer my question.
Thank you for your interest in my reply to your question ICENI With all due respect, as the name of my station states "Classic Metal" then that is what you will get. From my experience, when I listen to any station that by its pure nature says that play classic metal and you only get 50% of it as you so kindly sugest then I simply change the station. My goal is to have the general public hooked and dont lose them because you throw an underground indie band. Please dont get me wrong, I love them, but simply its not the nature of THIS station, if in the future I have another station named e.g. Underground Metal Cage then I will play those bands. Sincerely. Classic Metal Cage https://myradiostream/classicmetalcage

I still do not see how you will be able to 'hook' the general public by playing what everyone else is playing and has been playing for at least a decade. Do you believe that the legion of classic metal/rock stations are still insufficient to meet the demands of the listening public?

Im so sorry Iceni, Im really am. It is what it is. As with all things, thankfully we all have different likes and opinions. This station is for common old school dudes that maybe just want to here what they used to hear 10, 20, 30 years ago. And if there are only 5 listeners that I'm sharing my music with... then its ok. Im really am ok with it. thanks for your feedback.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
