Episode 16

Episode 16

Sick and Sweet 16, it's the latest edition of Mass Hypnosis Metal Radio. This week, we give you some classic old school from SACRIFICE and FLOTSAM & JETSAM, a couple great bands from South America (CHAINSAW KILLER and FUNEBRIA) and Europe (DEATH BY DAWN and PUTREFIED) killer tracks from SODOM, ENTOMBED, MORIBOND, ENFORCER and SELF REGIME and an interview with Vancouver's ENTROPIA!

CHAINSAW KILLER- Spark Of CreationColumbia's Chainsaw Killer have that early 80's Euro-thrash vibe that seems to breed like crazy in the jungles of South America.http://www.myspace.com/chainsawkiller666
DEATH BY DAWN- Not Afraid To DieThese German thrashers feature ex-Pestilence/Bolt Thrower vocalist Martin Van Drunen. Very straight up death-thrash for those who like their thrash traditional and without all the metalcore trappings.http://www.myspace.com/deathbydawnde

ENTROPIA- One By OneAnother up and coming Vancouver band with a great old school vibe, part of a new wave of metal talent coming from a city ready to unleash a tsunami of metal insanity on the world. The interview was done with MH Metal Radio's Chunky McFunbags at The Buffalo Club's Metal Mondays.http://www.myspace.com/entropiametal


FLOTSAM AND JETSAM- Iron TearsThe band recently re-released it's classic 1986 debut 'Doomsday For The Deciever', that introduced the metal world to a young Jason Newsted, who would...well you know all about that. A killer album by a bunch of crazy Arizona thrashers that is a must in any decent metal collection.http://www.myspace.com/fandj
ENFORCER- Evil Attacker Sweden certainly isn't lacking for bands who keep the spirit of 80's metal alive. Enforcer remind one a lot of 'Violence and Force' era EXCITER, which is something we here at MH will always support! Love these guys!http://www.myspace.com/enforcerswe
ENTOMBED- ForsakenAlong with bands like Dismember, Unleashed and Grave, Entombed made their mark on the metal scene with a sound that just fucking crushed you upon first listen. This one goes back a bit, as they began their transition to a more groove-based death sound, but still with that wicked gallop that's instantly recognizeable.http://www.myspace.com/serpentsaints

FUNEBRIA- TormentoBack to South America, this time it's Venezuelan Black Metallers Funebria. The track is from their debut album 'IN DOMINUS BLASFEMICAL EST… AD NOCTUM SATHANIA'.http://www.myspace.com/funebriaband
MORIBOND- Dim LightNow this is weird, a death metal band from Quebec! Okay all kidding aside, Moribond is a fairly new band who unlike a lot of their provincial counterparts focus on the heaviness rather than the technicality. Their debut is called 'Funeral', and is a promising entry into the Canadian metal scene.http://www.myspace.com/moribond01


SACRIFICE- Soldiers Of MisfortuneWhile we patiently await the Canadian thrash legends' triumphant return later this year, here is the classic title track from their third album.http://www.myspace.com/sacrificecanada
SODOM- City Of GodFrom their most recent, s/t release, the legendary German thrashers show no sign of slowing down or lightening up. A great track from one of the best albums of 2006.http://www.myspace.com/sodomisthy
SELF REGIME- InfectedThis week's BC Metal Forces Band of the Week is a great death/thrash act from East Vancouver, with vocals from (and yes, stu... 3 bands officially makes you a bandwhore :>) Into Eternity/ Omega Crom screamer Stu Block. But don't let those names fool you, these guys sound nothing like either two. Death-thrash will some nice black metal flourishes that will leave an impact on you.http://www.myspace.com/selfregime

MH Metal Radio Episode 15

episode 15

Greg Millen on Ryan Smyth's stick: "That knob looks familiar."

Episode 15 of Mass Hypnosis Metal Radio is here. This week
Mass Hypnosis Metal Radio's Chunky McFunbags sits down
with Vancouver upstarts MASTIC, as well as a double shot of
METAL CHURCH, new songs from WITH PASSION and
CHAOSFEAR, and some great tracks from AGENT STEEL,
EXCITER, GRAVEYARD BBQ, INCITER, ABORTED, and
ANATOLIAN WISDOM
!


METAL CHURCH- In The Blood
METAL CHURCH- A Light In The Dark- A double shot of the
band that hits Vancouver and Victoria this month, the first from
their amazing s/t debut, the other the title track from their most
recent release.

INCITER- All I Had If you can get past the downright scary
similarity to the vocals with a certain Mr. Hetfield, this song kicks
a fair amount of kiester...

MASTIC- Primetime While these guys work on a new album,
here's a track from their 1st demo. Our roving reporter Chunky
McFunbags had a chat with them at the Buffalo Club in
Vancouver.

AGENT STEEL- Agents Of Steel Ah, yes... remember when it
was called Speed Metal? Agent Steel take us back to the 80's,
just close your eyes and you can see yourself in the front row,
banging like there's no tomorrow!

EXCITER- Saxons Of The Fire From 'Violence and Force' this
seminal Canadian thrash act inspired countless acts around the
world (Annihilator springing to mind right away). Gotta love the
cheesy horror movie album cover too!

GRAVEYARD BBQ- Cheat On The Church Anyone who's
become addicted to the PS2 game Guitar Hero knows this song.
They won a contest to have it included on the first version. This
one goes out to MetalMatt.

WITH PASSION- Tales Of Sirens Earache has big hopes for this
California based act, this is from the new disc 'What We See
When We Close Our Eyes'

CHAOSFEAR- Hard Time For The Wrong Man Brazillian 3 piece
thrash act that rips it up hard and fast, from their new disc 'One
Step Behind Anger'. One of the best bands this country has to
offer (and that's saying something!)

ABORTED- The Saw And The Carnage Done While we anxiously
await their new one, here's a killer cut (groan!!) from
Goremageddon.

ANATOLIAN WISDOM- Elegy To The Gilgamesh Vancouver's
Black Metal tyrants bring their fury to Victoria on the 17th, here's
something to whet your appetite until then

Metal Radio Episode 14

Episode 14


Mass Hypnosis Metal Radio unleashes Episode 14 with a dozen kickass metal tracks for you to gorge yourself on:

ALLFATHER- Warlust Victoria, BC's legendary Allfather with a track that truly defines the band's warmetal sound. We hope to hear something new from them soon. http://www.myspace.com/allfather

CANNABIS CORPSE- Staring Through My Eyes That Are Red Thought all stoner bands played it ssslllooowww? Not when you get a Municipal Waste member professing his love for weed and Cannibal Corpse. http://www.myspace.com/cannabiscorpseva

CIVIL RUIN- Dismal Fall Vancouver's Thrashy Deathsters will be hitting the road this summer with Calgary's Angela Delamorte.http://www.myspace.com/civilruin

DREAMMAKER- Innocent Blood Featuring the vocals of Elisa C Martin (ex- Dark Moor), this is the latest project from one of Spain's hardest working metal talents. She's been screaming for over a decade now (joining her 1st band at age 12!) and Dreammaker features some former Dark Moor members as well
.http://www.myspace.com/elisacmartin

ADVOCATE- Soldiers Dunnville, Ontario's Advocate bring an old school attitude to their Christian Thrash attack. The band are currently looking for a new drummer, and have more songs available on their myspace site.http://www.myspace.com/advocatenow

MASTIC- Primetime This Vancouver 3 piece have been playing a lot of live shows lately, and will be releasing some new songs later this year, that the band say blow the older material away. Until then, this is a track off their debut 4 song demo.

MURDERHOLE- New Crusade Formed in 2001, Murderhole hail from the festering swamps of New Jersey, and have a definite 90's thrash feel to their music. http://www.myspace.com/murderhole

REBECCA'S GRAVE- Run From Below New Brunswick's Rebecca's Grave got their name from a legend in the Moncton area about an 1800's witch who killed and sacrificed farm animals. When she was caught and killed, she was buried upside down. If she came back to life, she'd dig her way to hell, and they added three slabs of concrete over the burial ground. It is said that a "ghost cat" is sometimes seen prowling around her grave, waiting for her return.http://www.myspace.com/rebeccasgrave

ATSPHEAR- Your Strain From their album 'New Line System', Spain's Atsphear have been crushing with their melodic death metal since 2003.http://www.myspace.com/atsphearband

STORMLAND- Once We Were Strong Our BCMF Band of the week is Enderby's Stormland. Formerly a one man project, Justin has now recruited members to play live shows and will be doing so soon.http://www.myspace.com/stormland

BANE AND ILLUSION- Apprentice Of Legend One of the most frustrating things in this business is stumbling across new bands, only to discover they've disbanded. Originally from Kelowna, BC (and now hailing from Vantaa, Finland) this 1 man black metal act is stunning in it's cold, atmospheric approach to black metal. Not to fear, Erik has a new project, Bladesmith, that is just fucking EVIL!http://www.myspace.com/baneandillusion

RADICAL- La Solucion If you've been listening to our weekly shows, you know how much we love old-school death and thrash. Radical come to us from Uruguay, and are so fucking 80's you'll find yourself banging your head right into your monitor (be careful when you do this, it can be painful and costly!).http://radicalcore.com/
