October 18, 2021 17:00 - 45 minutes - 63.1 MBBack at Hells Headbangers to ease drop on J Dawg interviewing Adam Schnellenbach from the YouTube channel Vital Vinyl Vlog. While we wait for Adam to call J Dawg gives the latest Hells Update and tour of the shop, showing off some of his latest Vinyl grabs. Other conversations break lose and then Adam calls in to save the day. In total half ass fashion I record the Death metal spirited interview while we get a glimpse of J Dawg's office.

Metal Therapy
August 06, 2021 17:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBNaturally collectors are obsessive so there are plenty of rantings we can spout about Vinyl, CDs and even shirts. At least that's the obsessive fan Eddie Satan is in what could be a segment called metal therapy. Cool shi-stuff was sent from fans so we take a listen in another 6 x 9 seconds music clips. 8 years ago we had the struggles of young man named Manny with his faith and heavy metal on the show and you might remember with us to make this episode of HELLCAST!
Fastest, Sickest, Heaviest
July 30, 2021 00:30 - 55 minutes - 76.4 MBIt's a conversation that can go many places, the fastest, sickest and heaviest metal bands. What defines fast, sick or heavy? Is speed as fast drum beat or guitar riff? So many ways to analyze and analyze it we do on this episode of HELLCAST!
Too Dumb to like Metal
November 13, 2020 16:00 - 44 minutes - 41.4 MBJ Dawg used to take a lot of photos at shows in the 2000s and some have been used in Hells Headbangers reissues like Mortician and Exhumed. So we finally get to take a look into his personal photo album. As you should follow Reaper Metal Productions on social media, perhaps like J Dawg you do not, so we do a catch up of the latest questions that only nerds like Reaper would ask i.e, "Are 2 on 1 CDs pointless?" It is said to be 4 9 seconds this time but I think it really is 1 9 seconds plus t...
Faces of Death
October 30, 2020 21:07 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBIt's the Halloween season so this week's records on the wrong speed are horror movie soundtracks.

Album Wars, overlooked bands and a few other conversations ensue the Face of Death to HELLCAST!
Abomination of Isolation
October 16, 2020 04:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBJ Dawg is back for the attack and has some HH stories to warm his welcome. From there we catch up on Florida Death Metal, the cool stuff fans have sent us. Japanese metal bands 7 inches on the wrong speed! Will they pick chipmunks or heavy doom? 7 inches can either be 33 RPM or 45 RPM so finally we can potentially hear the bands too fast. Fast kill, Metalucifer, Gorgon and Butcher ABC.

Anglican Hunger
October 02, 2020 04:00 - 47 minutes - 44.1 MBJ Dawg is looking a lot different on this episode because Jørgen - Nattskog is sitting in as a special guest. Since launching the RMP FAN CLUB we wanna interact more with the community that makes the show possible by giving a glimpse into who you are what you do.

Curiosity Killed The Great Kat
September 18, 2020 04:00 - 57 minutes - 105 MBThis episode has absolutely nothing to do with The Great Kat, in fact I don't think she is that great. But it is a catchy title to the otherwise underlining theme of this episode CURIOSITY. Such as J Dawg hearing early Biohazard or Prong. His favorite IMMORTAL album and whether or not he looked deeper into his CDs in the 90s to notice credits to people like Terry Date. Be curious yourself and just watch/listen to this episode of HELLCAST! Support the content, hear your name on HELLCAST, gai...

Before we move on with our set up in the new studio, let's take a moment to catch up with all that has happened recently by sprinkling information into our show format. That means a new 6 9 Seconds of only Reaper Metal releases. Reacting to a handful of the VHS concerts posted on RMP, 1 man bands and what that has to do with Slasher Dave, Last Days of Humanity ...
Death to CORE
June 15, 2020 17:35 - 50 minutes - 47 MBFor us, nothing with CORE is good outside Grindcore and early Hardcore. A request was made numerous times for J Dawg to hear Deathcore, so here we are reacting to some of the top names of the deathcore scene. We do redeem the quality of the music in this episode with a new 6 x 9 Seconds music clips, which is far beyond 6 clips because the segment is just that good. Album Wars: DECEASED Supernatural Addiction vs Fearless Undead Machines, definitely leave your choice in the comments and play t...
Grind Crusher
June 01, 2020 15:00 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBI guess we overlooked Grindcore when assessing the evolution of extreme metal. Where does Grindcore have it's place in the progression of metal sub genres? It's a grindcore theme episode so we have 'Records on the wrong speed' Grind edition, Album Wars: Horrified vs World Downfall, 6 x 9 Second Grinding music clips and a whole lot more banter cause J Dawg is a part of HELLCAST!

Beyond The Iron Curtain
May 18, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBIt all starts with a not so pleasant review of J-Dawg from a Christian ex-Fan on iTunes. Then we sprinkle a new "Album Wars" "6 9 Seconds" and "Records on the wrong speed". Within this heap of jibber jabber VADER is brought up and the early days of the Polish Metal scene, how hard it was to be a fan and how it sounds oddly similar to the Brazilian scene. There's plenty of other dialogue oozing out the sides for one nice greasy episode of HELLCAST!
Extreme Speed Metal
May 05, 2020 16:17 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBExtreme speed metal when records are on the wrong speed! We have new 'Records On The Wrong Speed' 'Album Wars' and '6 x 9 Seconds'. We pick out some favorite Scott Burns / Morrisound albums since Reaper just spoke to him on the INTO THE DARKNESS interview. J-Dawg dives deep into his love for early CRYPTOPSY and particularly Lord Worm era, it's as you would expect from another HELLCAST!
Death Metal Spirit
April 20, 2020 16:55 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBIn death metal spirit we chat. I guess blame it on Napalm Death frontman Barney Greenway for being on Reaper Metal Productions recently and it was a recording from Benediction which displayed as J Dawg calls it Death Metal Spirit. Which means a new segment of 'Records on the wrong speed' featuring NAPALM DEATH, DEICIDE, BENEDICTION and more. ALBUM WARS: Update and this week's challenge. It's something of a good episode it's HELLCAST!!
Critical Madness
April 06, 2020 13:00 - 50 minutes - 69.8 MBStricken with a horrible disease Reaper and J-Dawg like many are quarantined and utilizing the time wisely. With new segments "Records on the wrong speed" "Album Wars". HELLCAST is back with critical madness.-Show Notes-Listen to more HELLCAST Episodes...
