Wyrd Ways Rock Show

Powerzone #194

Here's part 2...

It's finally here. The show you've been waiting for. Eighty-one (couldn't resist putting in the Electric Wizard track, even though I did say I was going to limit it to 80) songs covering a plethora of sub-genres including Death, Black, Pirate, Thrash and Proper Heavy Metal. There's an enormous amount of excellent music here. Unfortunately, since this show is larger than Soundcloud's maximum upload size, I'm splitting it in two... The most interesting segment, though, is the one that a loud minority seem to think doesn't exist: Good new bands, in which you will find contributions from Skarlett Riot, Warbringer, Dorja and a good many others from around the world.

It's the last Wyrd Ways Rock Show of 2017... or certainly the last one before the traditional Yuletide Behemoth, anyway. Despite the fact that this is, effectively a Christmas show, I'll only inflict one Christmas tune on you. It's one you'll like. I promise. What else do we have for you? Well, the last Record Of The Week is a bit of a cracker, then there's loads of other stuff, inlcunding Nick from Nuclear Blast having a bit of a chinwag with Robb Flynn of Machine Head. Who says I never get you anything nice? What are you waiting for? Press Play and turn it up LOUD!

Powerzone Festive Special 2017

The countdown to Christmas now begins in earnest. Just to show I'm not a total Scrooge, I've included the full sweary version of Lawnmower Deth's collaboration with Kim Wilde. There's also a fond farewell to Triaxis, new stuff from all over the place and... well... I'm not going to tell you who gets Record Of The Week. You'll just have to listen to the show when you've finished downloading it, or it arrives in your Inbox (if you're a Sponsor or on the mailing list). Turn it all the way up!

Show #191

So here we are spinning rapidly towards the end of another year. 2017 is almost over, but The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is celebrating the dying embers of this year with another slab of quality Metal. Not only do we have new stuff from such luminaries as Machine Head, Electric Wizard and Almanac, we've got Skarlett Riot snapping up Record Of The Week with a serious slab of quality called Regenerate and a celebration of His Infernal Majesty himself, Ville Valo, as he hangs up his mascara and puts H.I.M to bed for the last time. Loads of other good stuff too. What are you waiting for? Press Play and turn it up LOUD!
