Episode 541: The Music Awakens - interview with Wake
February 01, 2019 08:00 - 118 MBCanadian grinders Wake had a stellar 2018! Their break thru Translation Loss album "Misery Rites" was the toast of the grindcore town. Touring North America and being featured in Metal publications had the band in the thick of things for year end accolades. Being good Canadian boyz (eh) they had no prob crossing the country in the dead of winter. We caught up with vocalist Kyle Ball during their recent stopover in town. We discussed the success of said record and the trials and tribulations ...
Episode 540: Bello Hurray - interviews with Anthrax and Dust Prophet
January 25, 2019 08:00 - 160 MBAnother one off the old "Bucket List"! Our fandom for the legendary Anthrax goes back as far as our interest in Metal itself. So we were front row centre to witness the rise of the "Big Four" concept. When 2 of those 4 meet up and get the creative juices flowing you know you're in for something special. Altitudes and Attitude are an amazing new(ish) collaborative effort from 'Thrax and Megadeth bassists Frank Bello and Dave Ellefson. In an interview decades in the making we sat down with Mr....
Episode 539: Killit 'Em All - interviews with Wristmeetrazor and Annihilator
January 18, 2019 08:00 - 189 MBThis week we find ourselves focusing on a couple young killer outfits that are poised to turn some heads in a big way! Metalcore (revivalists ??) Wristmeetrazor's label debut (Prosthetic) is fresh on the racks. Having already raised some eyebrows with their controversial monicker, they're about to bludgeon your ears with this solid record. We spoke with bass/vox Justin Furnof about the whys and wherefores of the band including their debut and said band name. We stoked to be on the ground flo...
Episode 538: The 2018 Rammy Awards
January 11, 2019 08:00 - 151 MB2018 is in the books! As we change the calendar and prepare to break our New Years Resolutions, this is a time for reflection on the past 365 days. What a rollercoaster of highs and lows the year was! Fans of extreme and underground music don't put much stock in awards shows. We have our own idea of what's good and how to celebrate it. Thus The 12th Annual Rammy Awards! Basically this year end episode is our piss take on the grammies. We go over what moved us the most in categories that Meta...
Episode 537: Chaos Begins - interview with Flotsam And Jetsam and Inhumed
January 04, 2019 08:00 - 169 MBLet's hit the 2019 ground running! When veterans Flotsam and Jetsam first jumped onto the Metal scene they really stood out. First because of their unique monicker. Then they established themselves as an unfuckwithable force whose career would surpass three decades and (now) 14 records with the arrival of their new platter, "The End Of Chaos"! Axeman Micheal Gilbert is the FandJ driving force and is no stranger to RAM having been in our hotseat before. This time 'round we pick his brain abou...
Episode 536: Fighting The Good Fight - interviews with Cryptodira and Chuggernaut
December 28, 2018 08:00 - 177 MBMerry (belated) Xmas everyone!! It may not seem like the winter holidays around here, what with the lack of Christmasy-type tunes. But we're still in the giving spirit as this week we present not one but two kick ass interviews. Good Fight recording artists Cryptodira are currently killing it on the road in support of their label debut "The Devil's Despair". We sat down and spoke with the whole squad discussing touring Europe, working with Good Fight, and the band's musical recommendations. ...
Episode 535: Goblin Rock - interview with Claudio Simonetti's Goblin
December 21, 2018 08:00 - 135 MBIt might be just days before Christmas but around the RAM offices it's still feeling a lot like Halloween. The legendary 70s prog rockers and horror film soundtrack composers Goblin need no introduction. The band has scored beautiful music for such classics as "Suspiria", "Dawn Of The Dead", and "Profoundo Russo". Mainman Claudio Simonetti is basically the John Williams of extreme cinema. Now touring as "Claudio Simonetti's Goblin", we were treated to a unique screening of "Suspiria" with th...
Episode 534: Scarred 4 Life - Tattooing and Heretic Legion interview
December 14, 2018 08:00 - 178 MBThe fine art of tattooing has become more and more prevalent in the Heavy Metal community. Back in the day, really only a handful of artist were tatted up in any meaningful way. Now it seems everyone and their Hound of Hades has some form of body art. Personally, we're not inked (pierced, or dyed) so we had to bring in an expert on the subject. Kay Stewart is a local veteran ink artist and a prominent member of the Metal community. And one cool Dudette!! She was gracious enough to give us a ...
Episode 533: Hump Day 13 - interviews with Wednesday 13 and Sonic Pulse
December 07, 2018 08:00 - 205 MBThe wonderful world of rock n roll is full of cool characters. Wednesday 13 is one such character. For the uneducated normies, we always liken Mr.13 to a "modern day Alice Cooper". The dude has a storied career with no let up in sight. Most notably his latest platter (and Nuclear Blast debut) "Condolences". Wednesday recently came thru town making it an opportune to hang out with him. We discussed said record plus his love of horror flicks and 'The Nature Boy". Whoooooooo!! Aside the the cre...
Episode 532: Skullduggery - interview with Mem Stein of Exumer and Skullpit
November 30, 2018 08:00 - 131 MBThis week real life gave us a real cheap shot in the pit! To the point where Snowy found himself going about this episode all by his lonesome. So lets call it a "Snowlo" episode, shall we. Not to be deterred, we weren't not going to let a single second of the show suffer. We kept all the usual segments, particularily the "Creature Feature". This time 'round we speak with none other than Exumer vocalist Mem Stein. Already big supporters of his day gig, we are stoked for his new side project, ...
Episode 531: Mythological Metal - interview with Ashes Of Ares
November 23, 2018 08:00 - 164 MBWe got stoked for the announcement of a new Ashes Of Ares album for a variety of reasons. First off, its the long awaited follow up to their five year old debut. The effort's monicker took us back to the first Indiana Jones flick (!). But most importantly, it afforded us the chance to have a long time coming sit down with mainman Matt Barlow. Metallers will be familiar with Mr. Barlow for his amazing discography with Iced Earth. Now he's remaking Metal history with his sorta new "offering" (...
Episode 530: Hold The Cheese - Mac Sabbath and Untimely Demise interviews
November 16, 2018 08:00 - 166 MBNew sub genre! How about "Drive Thru Metal"??!! Never one to stray from unique interview opportunities, we just had to speak with one Mac Sabbath (not a typo)! As kids of the appropriate age, Mac Sab is both a pleasant dream and a brutal nightmare. Since the members of the outfit don't actually speak, we sat down with manager extrodinaire Mike Odd to get the 411 on this bizarre combo. Mr.Odd gave us the origins of MS, explained the "Odd-itorium" and shared where this as going in the future. ...
Metal Lunch Break Episode 0004: A Country Metal Head Can Survive
November 14, 2018 16:00 - 52.3 MBHorns up Metal Heads! On this week’s Metal Lunch Break I am joined by Country Artist Jay Ricochet. Jay is a long time Metal Head and has performed as a high energy front man for many bands over the years. Now he has found as calling as a Country singer and songwriter. His latest single, “Like Hank Knew Whiskey”, is getting a lot of attention in the US and internationally. Jay and I discuss his transition from Metal to country and how he is still Metal to his core. Listen to Jay’s new single...
Episode 529: To Eternity And Beyond - Into Eternity interview
November 09, 2018 08:00 - 125 MBHailing from the Heavy Metal hotbed (!!) of Saskatchewan, Canada, come the mighty Into Eternity. Long established veterans of the Metal scene, I.E. are on the comeback trail after too many years between full lengthers. A major reason the band's back the right path is the addition of veteran axeman Matt Cuthbertson. Our good buddy Matt is no stranger to this show. He's graced our presence numerous times with his other outfit, Untimely Demise. This outfit was recently back in town for a record...

Episode 528: Significant Betters
November 02, 2018 08:00 - 182 MBThe Music Biz has more than its share of unsung heroes. This day and age to "make it" in the Metal World a band has to be constantly out on the road. Just like any other form of entertainment, more often than not, the artist leaves their spouse at home while he/she pursues the Rock n Roll dream. Very seldom is the story of these significant others ever heard. "Blue" Spinazola (Fit For An Autopsy, Dysentery) is one of those road warriors and a good friend of the show. A package deal with "Blu...
Metal Lunch Break Episode 002 - The Ultimate Halloween Concert
October 31, 2018 16:00 - 47.9 MBHorns up and Happy Halloween Metalheads! On episode 2 of the Metal Lunch Break we are joined by longtime Radioactive Metal co-host, Roch. Roch and Aaron talk about the Record Store Day Black Friday Releases, Jack Black on the “Good Mythical Morning Show” (Jack Black on the most Metal bum covers and Jack Black Christmas Song Challenge) and the upcoming KISS Tour. This week’s topic is “What is your ultimate Halloween concert?” - Find out who Aaron and Roch want to see in this two-day Hallo...
Episode 527: Unleash The Metal - Unleash The Archers interview
October 26, 2018 08:00What's in a name? For a Metal musician, the surname (stage name?) of Slayes is most appropriate. Brittany Slayes, vox of Canadian power metaller, and Napalm recording artists, lives up to her moniker. Case in point - all throughout the band's recent North American tour. WE caught up with Miss. Slayes as they came thru town on one of the few remaining dates. We had the pleasure to discuss all the whys and wherefores of the band including their most recent effort "Apex", the said tour, and the...

Episode 526: The Imperial March - Imperial Triumphant and A Feasting Beast interviews
October 19, 2018 16:35NY black metallers can be described a lot of different ways. Neo classical, avant garde, technical, all 'round bizarro come to mind. We just call it G.F.M. - Good Fuckin' Metal/Music!! This helacious trio are currrently terrorizing the nation on tour supporting their latest effort "Vile Luxury". Our newest RAMMer, "Big Willy", had his interview baptism of fire we he sat down with all three ITers: Ilya (axe, vox), bassist Steve Blanco, and skinsman Kenny Grohowski. Not to be outdone by the ro...
Episode 525: Coming Up From Cali -Excel Interview
October 12, 2018 08:00Good things may indeed come to those who wait. But when it comes to kick ass 'Creature Features" the sooner, the better. Crossover legends Excel go back to the mid 80s from the famed hardcore and skate scenes of Venice Beach, Cali! Vocalist Dan Clements was right in the thick of things from Day One all the way to their recent appearance in town for the SOS Fest! We had a long overdue chat with a dude who had a lot to get off his chest. We had a chat that wavered from the light and bouncy to ...
Episode 524: Talking About Mos Generator - Mos Generator & Casket Robery Interviews
October 05, 2018 08:00Since 2000, Washington's Mos Generator have been major force in the doom/stoner scene. Their strong cult following has been rabid for the myriad of releases. Their full lengthers for Listenable Records always get top priority as well. The latest effort " The Shadowlands" is mere months old and it's a "contenda" for sure. So... On a raining Tuesday night on their recent trip across the country, we sat down with vox/axeman Tony Reed (with bassist Sean Booth lurking). We discuss the new record...
Episode 523: Howling With The Moon
September 28, 2018 08:00One of the most exciting tours currently pounding the Metal pavement is the Dark Tranquillity/Amorphis/Moonspell (w/Omnium Gatherum) trek. This triple threat were cut from the same cloth and careers ran many same parallels. These Master of Metal are no strangers to this show either. Last year we had the good fortune of sitting down with D.T. and Amorphis. This time its Moonspell's time in the RAM hotseat. Still touring their amazing "1755" concept album, vox/mainman Fernando Ribeiro was eage...
Episode 522: Spreading The Rumours
September 21, 2018 15:44How cool are this week's "Creature Feature" artists, the legendary Vicious Rumors? Well, VR was Bay Area cool before the Bay Area was cool. Having their own sound, Rumors was never really put amongst their San Francisco breathren. Vicious was already off to the races with all your fave thrashers from the scene in supporting roles. Arguably, the 80s were the band's heyday but they never stopped producing awesome tunage throughout the decades. Now thirty years after their most succesful record...
Episode 521: Getting Away With Away - Voivod interview
September 07, 2018 06:00To no surprise, we've followed and admired veteran Canuck metallers VOIVOD right from the get-go. First, as mid-80s underground thrash darlings and literally throughout the decades, Voivod has always carved their own niche and followed the muses of their own creativity. All the while, they maintained the integrity of true musical artists. The one constant throughout has been the presence of drummer Away! The man saw all the victories... and defeats. They fought thru all the trials and tribul...
Episode 520: The Golden Boy - Dream Child interview
September 07, 2018 06:00The memory of the legendary Ronnie James Dio will live on forever! Being one of the most influential figures in Metal history, RJD had his share of "disciples". Axe extrordinaire Craig Goldy's career was off and running before even meeting Dio. But it was his contribution to the last handful of DIO's (the band) years and albums that brought Mr. Goldy to the heavy metal forefront. Goldy's new band, DREAM CHILD, basically picks up where Dio left off. The project features Dio's last line up, inc...
Episode 519: Eating Our Shreddies - Frankie C interview
August 31, 2018 06:00Around here we don't have much need for these music "reality" type programs. They're basically glorified game shows that cater to Joe and Jane Average. The music sucks too! BANGER TV, headed by noted music documentarian Sam Dunn, set out to produce a competition series catered to the Metal connoisseur and the more musically inclined. The Shredders Of Metal was born. A six episode YouTube miniseries featuring six Canadian guitarists doing just as the monicker implies - shredding!! Spoiler aler...
Episode 518: Let's Play Vanessa to Death - Vanessa Nocera interview
August 24, 2018 06:00Preparing for this week's Creature Feature proved to be a formidable task. If the name Vanessa Nocera doesn't ring an immediate bell, after our chat, you'll ask yourself why. Mrs. Nocera has been tearing it up in the black/death underground for a number years with a slew of amazing bands, thus the daunting task of covering her illustrious career. Her latest outfit CAULDRON BURIAL has a new album coming out soon. She's most noted for her Hell's Headbangers project VAULTWRAITH, and SURGIKILL is...
Episode 517: Season of Sarah - Sarah Longfield interview
August 17, 2018 06:00This week we found a bright, shiny diamond in the rough. Canadian tech deathsters Archspire recently came through town. Sharing the stage was newly signed Season of Mist label mate SARAH LONGFIELD. To the uninitiated, Miss Longfield made her mark as a YouTube vlogger, showcasing her amazing skill as a prog guitarist with a huge love of Metal. Now with the mighty Mist behind her, this venomous virtuoso is ready to conquer the world! We pick her brain and get into all the whys, whens, hows, par...
Episode 516: Up From The Depths - Depths of Hatred interview
August 10, 2018 06:00Canadian deathcore thrashers DEPTHS OF HATRED have been on our radar for a number of years now. Still a relatively unknown entity, they've been flogging it out in the metal underground since 2010. They produced a string of killer indie releases and now have taken that next step toward Metal domination. The fine folks at Prosthetic Records recently picked them up and the result was the cool, new "Bloodguilt" release. We caught up with DOH on their recent stop in town supporting the mighty HIDE...
Episode 515: Hideous And/Or Divine - Hideous Divinity interview
August 03, 2018 06:00Italian death metallers HIDEOUS DIVINITY are having a banner year. Their killer third Unique Leader recording "Adveniens" has been an underground fave. They've taken their brutality on the road, crossing our great nation for the first time, giving us the opportunity for a long overdue chat. We caught up with vokillist Enrico "H" DiLorenzo. Apart from the awesomeness that is HD, the most interesting part of the DiLorenzo story is his real world chosen profession: he's a medical physician. A th...
Episode 514: Mighty Mince - Haggus interview
July 27, 2018 06:00What has Agathocles wrought??!! The aggressive music underground has many sub-genres. Each of these has the potential to produce to their own sub-sub-genre. All it takes is the right band at the right moment with enough influence and they can kickstart the whole she-bang. Welcome to Mincecore! Oakland's HAGGUS took the Agathocles/mincecore blueprint, gorified it up a bit, and ran with it. Now, the power trio of putridity is at the forefront of the mincecore sub-sub-genre. We caught up with a...
Episode 513: Bruiser Brody 2018 - Rivers of Nihil interview
July 20, 2018 06:00This week's "Creature Feature" is another chat that's been a long time coming. US tech deathsters RIVERS OF NIHIL are total road warriors. They've graced our presence numerous times. But only now have we been able to sit down with them and get the scoop. Axeman Brody Uttley is one dedicated sonuvagun. Since entering the music biz, RON has been his sole focus. It's paid off big time with the brilliance of the band's new killer record "Where Owls Know My Name". We discuss signing on with Metal ...
Episode 512: Withdrawal Technique - Withdrawal interview
July 13, 2018 06:00There's two sides to every story, two sides to every coin. A couple of years back, we had a cool chat with Adam, the vocalist of Canadian hardcore band WITHDRAWAL. The band's Escapist Records debut "Never" was ready to drop and we spoke of his committment to straight edge. Fast forward to present day and we now sit down with his brother Joel and bassist Mike on the mean streets of Winnipeg. We had a very entertaining chat discussing said record, being (not so) straight edge, meeting Degrassi ...
Episode 511: Eh! Glo Abortions - DayGlo Abortions interview
July 06, 2018 06:00This was one of those happy accidents. This episode was recorded just days before July 1st (aka Canada Day). It just so happened that we had a Canadian legend waiting in the wings... Murray The Cretin of the legendary punk rockers DAYGLO ABORTIONS!! Murray has proven to be the kind of guy that definitely has something to say. What was suppose to be a "quick chat" went into a few extra innings once Mr. Cretin got warmed up. We spoke of everything in the DayGlo camp and the state of the world a...
Episode 510: Twisted Mister - Gruesome interview
June 29, 2018 06:00Far and away, our most frequent guest over the years has been veteran metaller Matt Harvey. Putting aside that he's a helluva guy and has become a good friend of the show, his multiple inclusions are justified as he's seemingly the busiest dude in Metal. He has cemented his status with the mighty Exhumed, his Expulsion project wowed the underground, and his most recent release is the ultra awesome album "Twisted Prayers" by DEATH-worshippers GRUESOME. We got on the horn with Matt to discuss t...
Episode 509: Godsmackdown! - Godsmack interview
June 22, 2018 06:00When we got tapped to speak to US hard rockers GODSMACK, we got excited. We thought "Yeah, it'll be cool to talk to Sully." But when we were informed we'd be speaking with skinsman Shannon Larkin, we got really excited!! Our interest in Mr. Larkin's work goes way back to the early days of WRATHCHILD AMERICA. We followed him through his stints in UGLY KID JOE and AMEN and now right up to his current tenure with Godsmack. So we had a myriad of questions covering all those subjects, as well as t...
Episode 508: Welcome Matt - Homewrecker interview
June 15, 2018 06:00For all intents and purposes, HOMEWRECKER should be huge! The Ohio powerhouse are killing it supporting THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, winning over fans with their solid metallic punch... but their roots lay within the hardcore scene. It makes for a wicked combo that has had us champing at the bit to feature them for awhile now. Drummer/vocalist/mainman Matt Izzi has proven to be a hard character to nail down. Homewrecker keeps him hopping as do the number of other acts he provides his talents for....
Episode 507: A Lot to Ingest - Ingested interview
June 08, 2018 06:00UK deathcore meisters INGESTED are currently terrorizing the Metaldom as part of the "Devastation Of The Nation" tour. But beforehand, they were looking to inflict some damage solo. On tour promoting their latest masterpiece of molten metal mayhem "Level Above Human", we sat down with axeman Sam Yates and skinbeater Lyn Jeffs. We yacked about said new album and what exactly qualifies something to be a level above human. As well, they give us the 411 on their switch to Unique Leader and the cu...
Episode 505: Siren Songs - Sirenia interview
May 11, 2018 06:00We recently had the pleasure of having Norwegian symphonic goth metallers SIRENIA come thru our neck of the woods. Still promoting their latest record, "Dim Days Of Dolor", this marked the first time the band has graced us with their presence. The mainman behind the music is axe/keysman Morten Veland . Being Scandinavian, he felt geographically at least, right at home 'round here so he was eager to chat all things Sirenia. We discussed the "discovery" of newish vocalist Emanuelle Zoltan, the ...
Episode 504: Unhooded - Midnight interview
May 04, 2018 06:00In the immortal words of Alice Cooper: "He's back! The man behind the mask!" For years now, we've been big supporters of Hells Headbangers recording artists MIDNIGHT. We bought their albums, played their tunes, and had an amazing phone chat with mainman Athenar last year... but we've never seen the guy's face!! Midnight is (in)famous for performing under their trademark black masks and hoods. So much like a masked pro wrestler or superhero, they like to keep their identities close to the che...
Episode 503: The G Man Cometh! - Gus G interview
April 27, 2018 06:00The Ozzman gets a lot of criticism but Horns to him for his keen eye for talent on the axe. Immediately coming to mind: Randy Rhodes, Zakk Wylde, Jake E. Lee, and tonight's Creature Feature GUS G. But while the majority of fans will know Mr. G for his work with Ozzy, 'round here we're just as versed with his work with FIREWIND. So when G's latest solo effort "Fearless" crossed our desk, we were excited to get him on the horn. We discuss said new solo record, his current relationship with Ozz...
Episode 502: The Big Rossman - Ross the Boss interview
April 20, 2018 06:00Bruce who? Ross The Boss, the man, the myth, the legend, has played key roles in the development of two of our beloved genres. First, his band THE DICTATORS were a standard of 70s punk. Then, the NY veteran switched gears in the 80s and entered the world of heavy metal by forming the mighty MANOWAR!! Despite these accolades, the Big Bossman has now spent the majority of his musical endeavours as just plain old Ross The Boss. With his latest solo record (By Blood Sworn) just hitting the racks,...
Episode 501: No Bone Unearthed - Skeletal Remains interview
April 13, 2018 06:00California death metallers SKELETAL REMAINS are making big strides in their quest to bring the Metal to the masses. That all important 3rd album, "Devouring Mortality", just hit the new release rack. It's a key album that finds them stepping up a notch, as it marks their debut on Dark Descent (and Century Media) Records. Once again amongst the chaos of The Manitoba Metalfest, we caught our breath with axe/vox Chris Monroy, Adrian Obregon (guitar), and bassist Adrius Marquez. We discussed the ...
Episode 500: The Big 5 Oh! Oh! - Bob Nalbandian interview
April 06, 2018 06:00"What A Long Strange Road Its Been..." No, screw that hippie shit! Let's do this the RADIOACTIVE METAL way! "Horns up! Welcome to the 500th episode of Radioactive Metal!" When your fave podcast first hit the airwaves, there were only a handful of podcasts going. But we had a vision – a burning desire to share the Metal!! And while a number of cast members have come and gone, we're still here and ready to celebrate... us!! We take some time to share some highlights and special memories from ov...
Episode 499: Original Hammer - Demolition Hammer interview
March 30, 2018 06:00Veteran NY thrashers DEMOLITION HAMMER played an important role in the history of the extreme metal underground. DH made their debut with their classic "Tortured Existence" album on the very young and fledging Century Media Records at the time. This album, along with a handful of other key releases, helped build the foundation for the CM that we all know and love. The band's tenure would be short lived, releasing only two more records. The last couple of years have seen DH on the comeback tra...
Episode 498: Summer of Saint - Armored Saint interview
March 23, 2018 06:00We see a pattern here. It was this time last year that we ran our first (!) ARMORED SAINT interview, a real cool chat with Joey Vera. Now this year, The Saint march into summer with a pretty cool gameplan. Throughout July and August, the band will hit the road playing the "Symbol Of Salvation" record in its entirety. The band's extensive discography does have some bigger, more well known albums. But "Symbol" holds a special place for The Saint and their diehards. So now is a good time for wha...
Episode 497: No Cure for Metal - Uncured interview
March 16, 2018 06:00Progressive NY death metallers UNCURED are a unique story. Generally our Creature Feature segments are reserved for established veterans on reputable labels with larger followings. Uncured though are unsigned and basically doing it D.I.Y. One just would never know it. With their extensive touring and promotion, they appear to be the blueprint of a big label's promotions. Three quarters of the line up are barely into their 20s but accented by veteran DIECAST bassist Jon Kita! So when Uncured ...
Episode 496: So Good It Should Be - Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals interview
March 09, 2018 06:00Obviously, with an outfit like Season Of Mist recording artists PHILIP H. ANSELMO and THE ILLEGALS, the groups namesake and frontman will be the one garnering the most press attention. But each group can have 3, 4, 5 other members and each have their own unique story to tell. With P.H.A. and The Illegals, axeman Stephen Taylor is such a member. With the new record "Choosing Mental Illness As A Virtue" getting major play in RAM offices, we had to get an Illegal on the horn. Mr. Taylor picked u...
Episode 495: Wagging Tongues - Twitching Tongues interview
March 02, 2018 06:00The mighty Metal Blade Records seems to be spreading their musical wings recently. Having been a major Metal player for literally decades, they seem to be trying to get their foot in the hardcore world door too. First, they released the brilliant new HARMS WAY album and now they're readying the new TWITCHING TONGUES album. We got psyched by their Blade signing and with record #2 "Gaining Purpose Through Passionate Hatred", we finally sat down with vox Colin Young. With everything going on, we...
