This Week on GIMME METAL:

 

 

Perdition Sect Guest DJ Special - Pandemic-born, Discharge-inspired, metallic punk for the soundtrack of the end of days, Perdition Sect features Kyle Severn (Incantation, Shed The Skin), Aaron Dallison (Brain Tentacles, Keelhaul), Matt Sorg (Ringworm, Shed The Skin), and Mike Lare (Ringworm). The band was forged the very week everything shut down -- making them quite literally a COVID-19 band. The band unleashed their End Times debut in December on Seeing Red. GIMME METAL is pleased to welcome Dallison to the guest DJ chair!

 

 

Pounder Guest DJ Special - Featuring Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome, Expulsion), Alejandro Corredor (Nausea LA, live bassist for Vallenfyre), and Tom Draper (Carcass, ex-Angel Witch, Crowning Glory), Pounder executes a seamless hybrid of NWOBHM epicness, Sunset Strip sleaze, and a true classic heavy metal identity. Harvey will spin a selection of faves for this episode as well as a taste of the band's impending new full-length, Breaking The World, set for release via Shadow Kingdom January 29th!

Coming Soon on GIMME METAL TV: 

 

 

Who The F**k Is That Guy? The Fabulous Journey Of Michael Alago - The Fabulous Journey Of Michael Alago tells the astonishing story of a gay Puerto Rican kid growing up in a Hasidic Brooklyn neighborhood, who got on the subway one day and began a musical odyssey that helped shape the musical landscape across the Big Apple and around the world. Directed by Drew Stone and produced by Michael Alex, the film tells the incredible story of a cherished New York City icon. From rubbing elbows with NY scene makers as a teenager at Max's Kansas City and CBGB, to being the architect of a rock 'n' roll renaissance as the 19-year-old talent booker at the legendary Ritz, to making history as a 24-year-old A&R exec, signing the biggest metal band in a generation in Metallica, Michael Alago was on fire. Working with artists ranging from White Zombie and Johnny Rotten to Cyndi Lauper and jazz legend Nina Simone, Alago was driven by a love for great music. Both Alago and Stone will be in the Live Chat so it's a great opportunity to not only watch this amazing story unfold but also talk with the people behind it. Following the documentary airing on GIMME METAL TV, GIMME METAL 2 will be airing Alago's first two GIMME radio shows at 1:00pm EST /10:00am PST and 3:00pm EST / 12:00pm PST respectively. Alago will also be hosting a new Guest DJ Special January 15th.
