Friends, Romans, Metalheads, lend me your ears!

I'll be at Summer Breeze on Wednesday 12th, so there'll be no Metal Empire on Metal World Radio. If you want to fill the void, though, you can head over to mixcloud.com/RJBayley. I'll be back the week after.

This coming week I am going to Summer Breeze in Germany. So, while there'll be no live show next week, if you're not coming too, I can at least bring a little taste of the festival to you. For this Monthly Special we're listening to all artists who are playing the 29th interation of this metal Mecca. We've got some good-natured chat with the listeners and a themed Triple Triumph too - one song, three versions, you pick the winner.

Tune in on Metal World Radio, Wednesdays at 1300 GMT/0800 EST/1400 CET to listen live and join the website chat room too.

Thank you so much to my Ko-fi subscribers, Andreas, Glen and Aly who keep this show going.

Friends, Romans, Metalheads, lend me your ears!

Very soon I'll be jetting off to Germany to attend Summer Breeze to see some of my absolute grail bands like Helloween and MOTORJESUS play live for the first time - in their homeland, no less! I'll even have the immense joy of meeting up with longtime listener and pivotal Metal Empire community member Andreas there too!

This Monthly Special is a warmup show featuring only bands playing the legendary festival. An appetiser for those able to go and a taste those who can't.

Tune in from 1300 GMT/1400 CET/0800 EST on Metal World Radio today for some amazing music, banter with the listeners and an appropriately themed Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner).

Thank you greatly to my Ko-fi subscribers Glen, Aly and Andreas who help make this show possible.

Miss this week's show? Check the comments below!

That mainstay of the British metal calendar, Bloodstock Festival, turns 25 this year and the festival is almost upon us! Their promotor reached out to me to do a special and since I missed doing one last month due to a preposterous workload, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make up for it.

Expect artists you can hear on the stages at Catton Hall and a thematic Triple Triumph. Starting the show, however, there's some wonderful news from longtime listener DG and an appropriate track in celebration.

Thank you so much to my Ko-Fi subscribers, Andreas, Glen and Aly.

Friends, Roman's, Metalheads, lend me your ears!

This year brings the 25th anniversary of Bloodstock Festival and I've been asked by the promoter to dedicate a show to it. Who am I to refuse such a venerable institution?

We missed the Monthly Special last month due to my absolutely insane workload, but I'm making up for it with the second one of July. So pitch your tents and slap on your sunscreen as we preview the artists who'll be rocking the stages of Catton Hall this year.

Join us at 1300 GMT/1400 CET/0800 EST on Metal World Radio for great music, audience banter and an appropriately themed Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner).

I started the show shattered, so I took the advice I would give others and blasted some high-energy good stuff that's guaranteed to make me giddy. We've also got the Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winners) and a chat with the listeners about summer festival plans.

Thank you so much to my Ko-fi subscribers, Andreas, Glen and Aly.

I'm back from EddFest and bring my thoughts on the event and people I met with me. Also in this show is the Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner) and an unstoppable wave of hard hitting music.

I'm back from EddFest and so is Metal Empire on Metal World Radio. Not only will I be showing up with a sunburned knee but I'll also be packing the Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner) but plenty of banter with the listeners and more cracking tunes than should be legal.
Show starts at 1300 GMT/1400 CET/0800 EST on metalworldradio.com.

Friends, Romans, Metalheads, lend me your ears!

This weekend is EddFest, the 50th anniversary of Iron Maiden mini-festival. I am inordinately excited to be going and half a century is a Hell of a span for any band to be around, so what better reason to make this month's Monthly Special a celebration of one of the most iconic bands in music?

Tune in to Metal World Radio from 1300 GMT/1400 CET/0800 EST for a show jam-packed with some of the greatest songs ever recorded across all their eras. There'll also be a Triple Triumph and plenty of banter with the listeners in the website chatroom.

Up the Irons! 🤘
