These are songs that inspire the best in us. They make us want to join the bands on stage, take up an instrument, and add our own little something to the mayhem. Any instrument is fair game. We've divided things up a bit between instruments, or at least inserted our own commentary for most of the songs, so give a listen... then respond in the comments with your thoughts, and certainly any songs we left out!
Due to the nature of the genre, there is a preponderance of guitar songs. Oh, and both DJ's Yuletide and Jack actually DID begin playing guitar because of THESE SONGS! Jack made us proud, having had the honor to shred Episode 666 (see playlist) in front of a live audience at none other than the WORCESTER PALLADIUM, perhaps the MOST METAL venue ever (insert citation here...)?
Disclosure of DANGER:This show may inspire reckless amounts of air drumming, with feet thundering mercilessly on dual air-bass-drums; air-shredding leading to fingers air-bleeding; and of course fingers fluttering at supersonic speeds along air-keyboards until complete air-dislocation. You have been WARNED!

Well everyone, it's been a great run, and I hope you've enjoyed the show these past few years... With tear-filled eyes I must now give you the sad news: indeed, Melting Point Radio will be taking a short break, to return en force in the Spring of 2008!
Jack will be in New Zealand spreading metal to the high and lowlands, while Alex heads to the steppes of Mongolia, and Toby will hold the fort back in Vermont.
With love and Heavy Metal

p.s. our last few shows were nothing special, but I'll still post the podcasts eventually, for now I leave you with this sexy little logo I just cooked up for the Metalheads Against Racism project, feel free to take a copy and pass it on, and if you wanna be real nice tell everyone to listen to our show! I'll make some more when I get a few spare minutes and will post them here as well. Yay.

Out on a Lim - Opinions
Our first media coverage! Check it out!
Something eerie happened to me during the first few days of school. It was night and most appliances in my room were turned off, but I kept hearing really low strains of music. I attributed it to sensitive ears and somebody else's music. But it happened again, and determined that I was not losing my mind, finally found the source of the music. My speakers, which were hooked up to my computer, seemed to get the airwaves of WRMC so I could hear 91.1 FM whether I was actually tuned in or not, even if my computer was off as well. Because of this strange phenomenon, I now hear WRMC at nearly all times. Even with my own music on, I can hear echoes of another song in the background. Although avoidable if I cut the power to the speakers, this auditory invasion had become a minor source of frustration.
However, a couple of days ago, while attempting to do my homework, I heard two DJs talking about their show and introducing the songs. Their music of choice was metal, which is practically a galaxy away from the orbit of my musical taste. But their theme for the night was covers, so I heard metal bands playing songs anywhere from Phantom of the Opera to ABBA. It was surprisingly good and refreshing, and got me thinking about where and when I had developed this aversion to metal. I had no idea. It wasn't that I had an unpleasant experience with that genre per se, but that I enjoyed other types of music so much to the point where I had stopped exploring and appreciating.
YeeahhhH! He goes on to talk about economic theory and why people make sub-optimal choices. Hopefully, if you've found this site, you're already on your way to singularity (optimal choice) of music. \m/

Reason 1: Tobias Sammet does high kicks at the end of this song. Live. On stage. And seems to be enjoying it.
Reason 2: They made this video (and the song!! the soooong!)
I rest my case.
Update: In response to those who say this album (and video) are being panned solely for being "different" and "not heavy enough" I submit this as evidence: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ReRbSbBhTHQ&
A song from Avantasia's earlier days that is both "soft" and "awesome". As opposed to being "soft" and "pop bullshit" (see: The entire new album).Recent Playlist Archive: Melting Point @ WRMC

FYI: Melting Point is on break for another semester, with the possibility of several select episodes being produced exclusively for podcast.
Kamelot released a video for their new album today. Both the video and the song, suck.

Drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metal band DECAPITATED passed away in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a recent road collision. He was 23 years old.
[From BLABBERMOUTH.NET - DECAPITATED Drummer Dead At 23]
This is such a tragedy for the metal community. I just found out today, as I was abroad in Mongolia since August. It's completely surreal reading the progressing news reports, first an accident... then surgery but recovering, then DEAD?! I don't even know what to say. My heart is with the families, and of course COVAN who should know the entire world of metalheads are pulling for his recovery. I'm wearing my Decapitated shirt in the honor of these incredible men and musicians. I sent a few dollars to the fund as well, hopefully it'll make this whole ordeal a little easier for everyone involved.
From the band:
Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka – our brother and dearest friend succumbed to head injuries sustained after a bad van accident while on tour in Russia. He was 23.
One of the youngest and most promising drummers in the genre, together with Decapitated he has consistently released albums both crushing and invigorating in their musicianship. Extremely talented – he has been involved in other side projects: Dies Irae, Panzer X.
He will be missed and can not be replaced. The metal scene will be much sorrier with his passing…
[From MySpace.com - DECAPITATED]

Hey everyone. We had a great show tonight, extra long @ 90mins which I'll post sometime soon hopefully (as well as last week's show. the week before that was crappy so I'm not gonna post it...).
Anyways, I found this amazing documentary on Youtube made by some indie journalists who went to Iraq to interview the country's only metal band, Acrassicauda.
See below for the full blurb.
It's a 5 part series, which you can find here.
Here's part one:
The group that made this is called VBS.tv, and they seem to be doing really cool alternative journalism stuff, all over the world: Sudan, Pakistan etc...! Check it out.
UPDATE! Here's an update from Roy Ahearn that was posted as a comment below, republished for your convenience:
Hey Guys, could not find your email, wanted to let you know that a new part about this band is up on VBS. In the final installment, the band has reunited in Damascus, Syria and play a reunion concert. We went to the show, hung out with them, and then recorded a demo with the band. Yes, a heavy metal demo in Syria! Something very rare. Through the band, we explore the Iraqi refugee crisis. The current crisis is the worst to happen in the Middle East since the creation of Israel. So far 2.4 million Iraqis have fled Iraq and 2 more million are displaced within Iraq. This is perhaps the worst refugee crisis in the world right now.

I give you... in the name of procrastination and, of course, metal... what I might wager to say is the first (ever?) metal cartogram. For your viewing pleasure...
Each country is distorted so that its relative area is proportional to the number of metal bands registered to it on Encylopedia Metallum. Created using Adrian Herzog's ~~excellent~~ mediocre Mapresso cartogram applet.

Sent to me by a friend who has recently fallen in love with the Dionysus song, "Anthem for the Children" (thanks to Melting Point):
So this is what the drummer to Dionysus said about their last album: When asked for comment on the album, drummer Ronny Milianowicz replied:
"This album is so good that you would throw away all other cds you got only to have this one. It will make you drink beer like crazy. It will make your neighbors[sic] your worst enemies. It will make you a true metal warrior."
If that isn't metal, i do not know what is.
My reply to him? "\m/"
