Wyrd Ways Rock Show

How about another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show?  Ah... go on. then.  As usual, loads of new stuff (well, new-ish considering how long it's been since the last one).  Whatever, there's loads of stuff from all over the Rock and Metal spectrum, so there's probably going to be something you'll like that you've never heard before.Shall we get on?

Hello again and welcome to the four hundredth (yes, you did read that correctly!) edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.So I've done 400 individual podcasts as either Wyrd Ways Rock Show or WWRS: The Forge, so for the milestone I thought I'd return to the original numbering and even the original style - doing it in Roman numerals.What's in this edition?  Aside from me ranting on a little bit about the state of Heavy music at the moment (mostly the Death Metal, Metalcore and Deathcore scenes - I am worried about the preponderance of vocalists who are pretty much interchangeable in terms of sound and the conformity of song structures), it's all about the music.What's in the playlist?  Take a look on the website or give it a listen.  That's the best way to find out!

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.As per usual, there's loads of new stuff, including Scene Queen's new one, a track from Dave Ellefson's new band, Dieth and a track from brand new Nottingham-based band, Alt Blk Era.  Obviously that's not all.  Heading for two hours of top class Metal.Check the tracklisting on the Wyrd Ways Rock Show website at www.wyrdwaysrs.com

Let's not beat around the bush.This is a new episode of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.  I've not done one for a few months for... reasons.Turn it up.

Welcome to the much-delayed September edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.Why the delay?  Family bereavement.  Nuff said.  Anyway, I'm back and since I already had the tracklisting sorted, I thought I'd record the show I'd already built.  This stuff might not be as new as what I normally serve up, but I still think there'll be something in there you've never heard before.

This show is running a few days late because it was my birthday on Friday, and I had other things to sort out during the week running up to it.  Basically, "life gets in the way".  Anyway, welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show - the podcast/radio show that leaves the mistakes and verbal hiccups in and plays you the most awesome music available.  Turn it up and enjoy.

A slightly longer show this week.  I seem to be getting back into this.  At least for now.  The new stuff is the focus of this generation of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, so that's what this week's edition is all about - new music.  As a bit of an indulgence, though, I am finishing with a classic slice of 80's cheese.Mosh buffers to maximum.  Here we go...

Didn't really know if I was ever going to be typing anything here ever again!  Welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.  Taking everything back to basics, the plan is just to play new stuff that excites me and that I like.  That's the long and the short of it - it's stuff I like.  If you like it too, so much the better.

Second test.  Same idea: about half an hour of music I like, except this is almost all brand new stuff this time out.  Check the Wyrd Ways Rock Show website for a list of what's in this one.PHRubN6dV0JioKs87AS9

I just slung together a few tracks I like.This could go back to being a regular thing.See what you think.

I know I say this pretty much every time, but there's a whole load of new stuff in this latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. You have my cast iron guarantee you will hear something in this show that you've never heard before. You may even discover your new favourite band. There's certainly enough candidates. Before I started compiling the playlist even I'd never heard seventeen of these songs before.Not only is there an absolute f*ck-tonne of new stuff, there's also all your favourite regular features like Covered, Spotlight (where I play some tracks from a band you may have forgotten about - shame on you!) and Russian Roulette (where YOU can pick the songs).As usual, if you want to get in touch to ask for a song or contribute to Russian Roulette or suggest a band for Covered or Spotlight, you can talk to me via the Contact page on the website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com, on Twitter @wyrdwaysrock or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WWRSTheForge. If you become a Patreon Subscriber at patreon.com/metalscienceteacher you also get access to the Discord, you get the show at higher sound quality and earlier than anyone else AS WELL AS several exclusive subscriber-only bonus shows such as The Thrash Hour, The Power Hour and The Trad Metal Meltdown which are all the ideal length for your workout, commute or whatever else you need an concentrated burst of PROPER HEAVY METAL to get you through.Anyway. Time to set your Mosh buffers to maximum and redline the Trash drives!

After last week's show, I thought I'd go a bit Heavier this time out. So for those of you who like a bit more Thrash and Death Metal in your auditory diet, there's a little more for you to get your teeth into.That doesn't mean the fans of Hard Rock and Power Metal are left high and dry, though. There's definitely a few moments for you in there, too. Personal picks for this week among the new stuff include Thrasherwolf, Defecto and Schwarzer Engel. This week's Spotlight band are also something of a personal favourite, having seen them absolutely steal the show when supporting Orange Goblin at the original Bradford Rios many moons ago and again at the Damnation Festival in Leeds a few years later.As usual, if you want to get in touch to ask for a song or contribute to Russian Roulette or suggest a band for Covered or Spotlight, you can talk to me via the Contact page at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com, on Twitter @wyrdwaysrock or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WWRSTheForge. If you become a Patreon Subscriber at patreon.com/metalscienceteacher you also get access to the Discord, you get the show at higher sound quality and earlier than anyone else AS WELL AS several exclusive subscriber-only bonus shows such as The Thrash Hour, The Power Hour and The Trad Metal Meltdown which are all the ideal length for your workout, commute or whatever else you need an concentrated burst of PROPER HEAVY METAL to get you through.So until we meet again, here's the link to the webpage: https://wp.me/p7snRV-itBe impure! Be vigilant! Misbehave!

What have we got for you in this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show? Simple answer is loads of good quality Metal, starting with new stuff from Finntroll, Carcass and Machine Head. Not only that, but there's a Covered that you might find somewhat surprising and a Russian Roulette choice that you might not find at all surprising.Generally, as usual, two hours of quality Hard Rock and Metal.What more do you need?

Hello friends!It's been two years since I last used the name "The Wyrd Ways Rock Show", and part of the reason I've not really done much podcasting in the meantime is that it's not felt right for a while. The difference now is that it's starting to feel more right again. Hopefully it's not just another false start and I really am finally getting the old thrill back. Only time will tell. The bonus for you is that you get two hours of top quality Metal from around the world. You also get an old song being redone and the debut of a new feature: Russian Roulette, so named because (in the words of the listener who gave it the name), "You never know what you're going to get". Which is apt.Anyway. I promised you two hours of quality Metal, so click the link and turn it up.

This is a test transmission so I can test that all this stuff actually works. Ooo... not good English, that, is it? Anyway, the point is: The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is back! There's a completely new edition in the works and until that's ready, here's a repeat of an old special from back in the day. Turn it up.
