9p-3a EST Saturdays

THIS WEEK ON THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW: CMS Friend, and one of the best vocalists in Metal today, Tim "Ripper" Owens, is finally back recording Iced Earth material after the triumphant release that was THE GLORIOUS BURDEN. Iced Earth is preparing to release their SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES trilogy later in the summer, but has issued OVERTURE OF THE WICKED, a nice 4-song EP that features a brand new song ("Ten Thousand Strong"), as well as three re-recorded Iced Earth classics to get fans ready for the new venture into the SOMETHING WICKED trilogy. We'll do a New Music Listening Party for OVERTURE OF THE WICKED, and Tim "Ripper" Owens will be calling in to discuss the new EP and the upcoming Iced Earth releases.
Next up, a band out of Florida that sounds like they should be from Europe, Kamelot is back with a brand new release called GHOST OPERA. While their name may make you think they are a "dungeons and dragons" type of metal band, they have morphed into a more complete, excellent power metal band that sings about real world topics instead of magic and wizardry. We'll introduce many of you to Kamelot by doing a New Music Listening Party, and guitarist and mainman Thomas Youngblood will be calling in to explain how a band from Florida can sound so much like a European band.
Finally this week, seminal noodlers Dream Theater are back with a brand new release, this time on Roadrunner Records, called SYSTEMATIC CHAOS. The new album seems a lot heavier than their last effort OCTAVARIUM, yet features all of the long songs and technical excellence that has become the trademark of this band. We'll do a New Music Listening Party for SYSTEMATIC CHAOS this week, and might just find one of the guys from the band to stop in and talk about the new release!
