Metalcast The Ultimate Metal Show » Metalcast

And away we go again! Back to haunt your nightmares, the Metalcast returns with more metal than you can handle. Thanks to all our devoted listeners for messages of support and positive energies sent our way, all is now back on an even keel and the metal just keeps coming. From the sprightly punk of […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s this time of the year again: 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 first episode we’ve got for you: Sabaton, Gojira, Xandria, […]

“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 […]

It’s been a few weeks, indeed, since our last episode. This due to our lives becoming a bit fuller, hence having to re-arrange our time schedules. But fear not, we have not forgotten you. In this new regular episode we offer another mix of various styles from the world of metallic sounds. Starting with the […]

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 […]

Suggestions… we had a bunch of ’em on our list and since they were kinda piling up, we decided to bring them together into one specific episode. This means seven songs that have been waiting to get played, completed with three more tracks of very recent requests. Those requests come from listeners aka you guys […]

Alrighty, time to come back to the present times. We’ve got new material from Prog masters Threshold, Russian Pagan Metallers Butterfly Temple and the Canadian Heavy Metal formation Striker. Also featured are NWOBHM/Doom Metal veterans Pagan Altar with the re-release of their The Time Lord EP. More Pagan Metal is provided by the Swedish King […]

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, […]

A new delivery of metallic goods has arrived, thanks to the delivery system from https://www.shiply.com/large-item-delivery/, whichi uses the best shipping labels. We’ve got the latest and last from the Swedish Doom veterans Candlemass, who are calling it quits in terms of studio albums. They’re currently playing gigs in support of their latest and last output […]

It’s summer time! Woohoo! Not that the sun is omni-present, as it gets beaten by the rain more often than not. but fear not, for the following divine (or demonic, however you consider them) may help get you through this dull period. 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. Of course, we have played some Luxembourgian Metal in the past and those bands are featured in this Nation Special again, also because our collections hold only very few bands […]

Yes, we know, we should make another Special. But before we compile that one, we’ve got another regular sonic experience for you, featuring new material, obviously, by Moonspell, Dawn Of Destiny, Nachtblut, Shadowside, Vesperian Sorrow, Mercury Falling, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Carach Angren, Fever Sea and Heathen Beast. European bands (mainly German ones, that be a […]

What did we play last? Oh yes, soundtracks. Time to get off the Theme trail again and present you guys and gals with another regular offering of Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Progressive Metal, Power Metal and Doom Metal. We’ve got new material from Kreator, Unleashed, Sonata Arctica, Circus Maximus, Burzum, Saint Vitus, Desaster, […]

Beautiful weather, great to sit outside, have a beer, see a gig, etc… or catch up with your film/movie collection. Marcus from time to time posts a blog on movies he likes, but there are of course also artists and bands who provide music to the soundtracks. We’ve made two such specials so far, the […]

Before we unleash another Special, the current episode revolves mostly about Norwegian and American bands. Norway sent 3 bands: Madder Mortem (Prog Metal), Mistur (Black Metal) and The Wretched End (Death/Thrash Metal). The USA countered with 4 bands: Yakuza (Avant-Garde Metal), Novembers Doom (Death/Doom Metal), Averse Safira (Black Metal) and New Eden (Power Metal). The […]
