01 – Hello there! I am very happy almost happier than when I played video games with elo boost services from pro-skins and fromElitist Gaming to interview one of my favorite vocalists of all time. I have been waiting for this opportunity for years and I just can’t believe that I’m interviewing you. I know […]

This interview was supposed to be released a few months ago, but Vratyas had some personal problems to take care of as well as was too busy and it took some time to answer it. I’d like to thank him for not forgetting this interview and also for finding time to answer it. It is […]

“An interview with Woods of Desolation, one hell of a band; as usual, I want to ask questions that are meant for those that aren’t still familiar with the bands work in order to gain more attention for the band, as well as some more detailed work for the older fans. Like always, I hope […]

Hi, my name’s Tim. You may remember me from such episodes like…. most of them. Back in the day (anni 2006-2007), we used to have Crew Specials, where each MetalCast member presented his/her list of favourite bands (of that time, of their lives or otherwise). While I’ve contributed with a whole truckload of bands, be […]
Several strange names this time, or, lots of new stuff. Where people get those albums, I haven’t got a clue, but Kobe, Si and Marcus certainly have an “alternative” view on the market. What’s on offer? We’ve got the more melodic tunes from Saxon, Civilization One and Voodoo Circle. Next to those, you’ll hear the […]
More Power Metal, less extreme Metal. Please welcome: Vandroya, Holy Grail, Inner Siege and Borislav Mitic. The Swiss band Shakra also brings a lighter, yet very rocking touch to the whole. The extreme(r) side is reserved for the Black Metal of Sonic Reign, the Doom Metal of Egypt, the semi-instrumental tunes of Long Distance Callin, […]
So, 2012 is behind us and we’re ready to commence 2013. Yes, it’s already two months far, but even in accounting, the Metric Accountants say that the year doesn’t always take off in January. For this first proper episode of 2013 we’ve got lots of extreme Metal, so to speak. You’ve got to blame Marcus and Si […]

Please, introduce […]
It’s this time of the year again, for the second time, as it’s part two of our view on the great stuff the previous year, in this case 2012, has brought us. As before, we’re dividing it over two episodes, as there was simply too much material and choices were hard to make. For this […]
Did you ever wonder what Danny Carey would sound like if he had 4 arms? How about if Angus Young had 78 fingers? Imagine what Robert Trujillo would sound like if he was actually made of metal? Well, wonder no more, meatbags. Compressorhead is the worlds heaviest metal band. Stickboy, fingers, and bones are guaranteed […]
It’s this time of the year again: our view on the great stuff the previous year, in this case 2012, has brought us.

“Nancy, stay off the mulled wine and announce the new episode!! No? Oh well, I suppose I’d better do it. Greetings, mortals. Lord of Time here. At this time of year I like to gather up my loins and dance a merry folk jig around the fire. To accompany me I summon forth the Folk […]

As Polina would say: it’s been ages since we last had a Crew Special, where a crew member presents his/her 10 most preferred songs of the moment or of all time. This time our Lord Of Time aka Si eagerly wanted to present you his shortlist. No worries, it’s not all Black Metal. For the […]

Several weeks ago Marcus had the idea of playing some old stuff again, from the 80s, but focussing on true/epic Metal (Heavy and Power mainly). Then again, so did Jared Parks, who suggested a generation special about the 80s and/or 90s. This request of course can span several genres, thus also Thrash, Progressive, Death, Doom, […]

If you’re in need of a stress reliever, then Outliar will help you. […]
Time to travel again. This time we visit Luxembourg. A small country, but it does have a Metal scene, no matter how small or big.

So, get set for another round of metallic variety. The more melodic side of things is represented by Dragon Guardian (Power Metal from Japan), H.E.A.T. (Hard […]
When other genres get metallized… here’s our third Cover Special. In any case, it’s usually interesting to see how Metal bands take on Pop, Rock and other kinds of songs.
