Hone your steel for fresh blood as Jim highlights some favourites of 2024, the Oxygen Destroyer show, Vancouver Noise Fest, the scene in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and much more!

Coleman throws down his AOTY gauntlet for 2024, spotlight on upcoming shows from Castle, Oxygen Destroyer, and the Well; and few other critical faves from the year.

Ferris in the hateful chair this week, fumbling and flailing through a pile of extreme music both new and time-tested. Joining the free-wheeling madman is Powerchord Radio's fresh blood, the terrifying and mysterious Jim. Listeners are given a taste of the new host's sinister selections, foreshadowing a dark and fruitful chapter of community radio excellence.

Coleman is joined LIVE at CiTR headquarters by his extremely mature friends Erik, Chops, and a fart machine. They discuss Chops' Edmonton based band Mongo Doom, a few local gigs from Ruin Lust, and Unto Others, the imminent return of Suffering Hour, initial lineup of next years' Prepare the Ground fest in Toronto, some killer new music, and much obnoxious flatulence. Bask!

A tour of upcoming local shows with Coleman; from Devouring Void's album release, Blood Incantation's return, resurrection of local faves The Moor, and most importantly: a ticket giveaway for the impending KING DIAMOND show!! All that plus a heap of new releases, and a birthday dedication for a real special gal xoxox

Coleman is at the helm, kicking things off with the A-side of the highly anticipated new album from Blood Incantation, then gets to hyping up the new Kayas album and associated release show, a sample of the upcoming Varning from Montreal fest, and other sick and killer things of a deadly nature.

With the threat of an impending release from the braincaving choates MITOCHONDRION, Ferris does his best to prepare. Eulogy offered to Auroch, and directions on where to find its still-writhing tendrils. A smattering of longsongs keeps the playlist short, but DENSE.

Coleman gets psyched about going to the "Night Engulfs Life" tour, hypes the upcoming Hacked Apart tour kickoff, a Slow Death Records showcase in Victoria, the upcoming return of Deicide to Vancouver, and a heap of killer new music from Mammoth Grinder, Immortal Bird, 1349, and more. DIE.

After a few weeks' unplanned hiatus, Coleman returns for more scowl-inducing sounds, with spots on upcoming local gigs from Conan, Nervosa, Hacked Apart; the inaugural INFEST in Edmonton; the 20th anniversary of the debut album from The Ruins of Beverast, and more.

Get ready for Ian to make your eardrums bleed with a gruesome abattoir of new death metal releases from Skeletal Remains, Gatecreeper, 200 Stab Wounds and Blood Incantation! We'll also plumb horrifying black metal depravity with fresh kills from Spectral Wound, Krallice, Liminal Shroud and Darkthrone. The second half of the show features a smoky variety of occult-inspired heavy prog, ceremonial proto-doom, and epic power metal, with red-hot cuts from Unleash The Archers, Castle Rat, Blood Star and Crypt Sermon. We're also gonna celebrate a major recent concert announcement by digging a classic from King Diamond out of the Graveyard, so you'd better stock up on earplugs!
