RNR666 RADIO SHOW ON EVERY SATURDAY FROM 6 PM ON LAHMACUN
Target: Budapest
A VOIVOD az egyik legnagyobb hatású, mondhatni kultikus thrash metál zenekar. A banda fennállásának 35. évfordulóját turnéval és új lemezzel ünnepli. Budapesten szeptember 15-én a Dürer Kertben.
A hidegháború másik oldalán 1982-ben alakult, a kor nukleáris- és csillagháborús félelmeit megjelenítő, azt továbbfejlesztő, saját mitológiát és vizuális világot építő francia-kanadai együttes nem hétköznapi metál csapat. A műfaj keretei hamar szűknek bizonyultak, gyakran ki is lépték belőle.
Első lemeze szinte ipari thrash, azaz jófajta csörömpölés, amiben hardcore és punk hatások is megjelentek, majd pszichedelikus elemek, Pink Floyd és King Crimson feldolgozások jöttek. 1991-es Angel Rat című lemezük egyenesen progresszív rock – producere a Rush-sal sokat dolgozó Terry Brown volt. Az albummal sikerült két szék közé ülniük. A metálosok megdöbbentek, a progresszív rockerek meg nem vettek róla tudomást, egyedül a kritikusok lelkendeztek. Ők viszont nem szoktak lemezeket vásárolni. Az együttes a progresszív elemeket megtartva, jazzesekkel vegyítve szépen visszametálosodott, közben kilépések miatt trióvá alakult, s az énekes/basszeros autóbalesete után az ezredfordulóra tetszhalottá vált.
A zenekarba az eredeti énekes (Snake) visszatérése, és a Metallicát otthagyó, Voivod rajongó basszusgitáros, Jason Newsted belépése lehelt új életet 2002-ben. Ő már az addigi utolsó, 1997-es lemezen (Phobos) is feltűnt: egy dalszövegét zenésítették meg közösen. Ismertsége óriási segítség volt. Az új lemez (Vovod) saját kis kiadójánál jelent meg, és sosem játszottak még annyi embere előtt, mint ebben az időben. Aztán 2005-ben későn diagnosztizált rákban nagyon hirtelen meghalt Piggy, gitáros és legfőbb dalszerző. A zenekar következő két stúdióalbumát az ő hátrahagyott házi felvételei és instrukciói alapján készítették úgy, hogy a lemezeken Piggy gitározik (Katorz, Infini). A 2013-as Target: Earth már Newsted nélkül készült. Az albumon a visszatér eredeti basszusgitáros, a 91-ben kivált Blacky – aki közben kortárs táncdaraboknak írt elektroakusztikus zenét. (Viszont pár év múlva ismét kivált.)
A legújabb nagylemez a The Wake e hónap végén jön ki. „Futurisztikus progresszív thrash metal” – mondja róla Away. Olyan egyre kevésbé futurisztikus témákkal, mint tudatmódosítás, összeesküvés elméletek és gyakorlatok, káosz és katasztrófa – ahova a mesterséges intelligencia fogja vezetni az emberiséget.
A természetes intelligencia viszont VOIVOD koncertre vezeti a népet

Black Swan Song
Here you can listen the final and previously unreleased song from Nyírmada-based Hungarian instrumental metal band, Steam Engine.
Fun fact is that although technically this is their last record (ICYMI: they disbanded in 2013), the main theme was written among their first ones back in the 2006/07 era. It’s also worth to mention that Steam Engine was the sole metal band ever played at an rnr666 show.”
The song and their all albums are free from here
You can read the background story here (it’s Hungarian though, but feel free to google translate it, which is always a funny way)
Don’t Panic, Just Missiles of October!
Which October? The Glorious Red one of Russia in 1917? Maybe the time is here again? Disintegration, distortion, decline, civil war, violence and terror, but finally from the bloody chaos the brave new world rise up and literally break your freedom on the wheel for the sake of the forever Golden Age.
These Missiles of October come from Belgium with cruel thrash punk attack. They mix punk with thrash metal without guitar solos, like the Oozing Wound in Chicago. It’s not a revolutionary act, just „loud, dirty and angry.” But why angry? Maybe because this little country has 7 governments, 7 parliaments and one king. But why just one? Why not 7?

The next prefatory has been made originally for a psychedelic free jazz album review (which is under way), but it also goes well here in same way.
The horror has started with Iron Bonehead Records. It’s an obscure German vinyl only extreme metal label. I wrote a letter to them, that I would like to write reviews from some releases. At once I have been attached to promotion circle of the metal underground. Since then I get tons of free metal stuff. Horrible records every day from the whole world. The Swiss Bölzer was the only remarkable band with their avant-garde death metal. And I have become familiar with the Finnish Svart Records. Their range of audibility expands from free jazz to extreme metal, and there’re some good bands and records. For example
3 Fresh Finnish Hard Rock/Metal singles on Svart Records
The names speak for theirselves: Hard Action, The Black Mass, Forced Kill. The first two play 70s style hard rock and roll with this difference that The Black Mass has a smack of black metal. While Forced Kill is „such as early Sodom, beer drinking Slayer”
From New Records
Back to the roots, to the 80s, when the massive darkness comes to the sunlight by Slayer, Metallica, Possessed, Exodus, Exciter, Venom, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and legions of other bands. Now here is the Midnight. Black heavy metal, thrash rock and roll
No Mercy For Mayhem – LP, 2XCD, digital on Hell’s Headbangers Records (US)
You can find, buy and listen to their previous albums here
Midnight plays Venom’s Too Loud For The Crowd here
There is a song on the new album „Aggressive Crucifixion.” It comes to light that 3 kind of crucifixion are/were existing at least: tender, ordinary and aggressive. And in all probability there are/were some sub-categories too.

Scrabbled is a music collective in Brisbane (Aus) with members from Clag, Per Purpose and many more. They are play real pop music. You can find just hits with catchy refrains on their album. But these tracks are too human, so aren’t good for radio stations. On the other hand it’s real punk music. Free, noisy and foul-mouthed, but too free for punks. „Urban folk” is also a good phrase for their music, it as if would be played by a common project of Velvet Underground and Mad Nanna. The latter is also a cult band.

Strange Marriage
BLACK PUS / OOZING WOUND split 12″ featuring brand new tracks from each.
Out on 17th June by Thrill Jockey Records on limited edition LP/DL
BLACK PUS is „raucous and otherworldly” solo drum project of Brian Chippendale, the drummer of hard noise rock duo Lightning Bolt. He has been chosen by Björk and The Flaming Lips as a collaborator and played on Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Repentance album (2008). OOZING WOUND is a classic, but a little unorthodox thrash metal band, because there aren’t guitar solos. In May 2013 they opened up for Black Pus in their hometown Chicago… These songs aren’t from the split! Just as samples
Black Pus Euro tour June-July. Vienna June 30
