New Music Show (May 2024)

The new music show for May 2024 explores the vast spectrum of metal, uniting classic thrash figures and modern innovators. It starts with Kerry King’s “Rage,” featuring Paul Bostaph and Mark Osegueda, reigniting the fervour of 1980s California thrash. NOCTURNUS AD follows with “Hod, The Stellar Light,” a pinnacle of progressive occult metal from their album Unicursal. EXODUS revisits their legendary 1989 live show with “Fabulous Disaster,” recorded at The Astoria in London, celebrating a key moment in thrash history. The show also includes APOCALYPTICA’s symphonic take on Metallica’s “One” with James Hetfield and Six Feet Under return. The episode features a variety of styles, from the gritty urban trad-metal of RIOT V’s “Mean Streets” to the nostalgic rock of Lucifer’s cover “I Would Follow You Babe,” with heavier sounds from Daath’s “Ascension.” Gnarly underground stuff from Earsplit PR is a feature, and other highlights include technical displays from bands like CROWNSHIFT and Cognitive, concluding with the dynamism of MY DYING BRIDE and Melbourne’s The Omnific.
