WREKage

WREKage WREKage is Atlanta's only weekly metal radio show -- Friday 11:59 pm 'til we get tired. 91.1 FM. WREKage is Atlanta's longest running true metal radio show.

The show airs every Friday evening on WREK Atlanta 91.1 FM from midnight until around 6 a.m. It streams live on the web and a one-week streaming & downloadable archive is always available at www.wrekage.org/streamingWREKage.php. WREKage has been serving Atlanta's metal community since 1984 (known as "Night Reign" until the name changed to WREKage in 1985) on WREK. WREK-FM is the "student owned and

operated voice of Georgia Tech," the Institute's radio station, and at 40,000 watts it's one of the most powerful college radio stations in the US. Not surprisingly, considering the school's technical credentials, it was the first radio station in the world to stream live audio over the Internet using software written by Tech alumnus and then WREKage host, John Selbie. The software was first used in October 1994 during a WREKage broadcast, making WREKage the first radio show to stream over the Internet. The show has gone from being a one-hour show to up to 10 hours (10pm until 8am ... Creative Loafing even wrote about how cool it was to be able to pass out listening to metal on Friday night and still wake up to it the next morning). During its heyday in the late 80s and early 90s, the show actually drew more listeners during its weekly time-slot than Atlanta's then #1 commercial rock station 96Rock. According to the Birch surveys, WREKage drew about 8,000 listeners at its' peak. The music programming of WREKage has had a varied past but usually rides on the cutting edge of the metal genre. WREKage's current programming is probably the most diverse that it's ever been.

Operating as usual

If all goes to plan, tonight's WREKage show will be an encore rebroadcast of DJ-Kraken's epic final show on WREKage , originally aired two weeks ago.
(Live broadcasts on WREK may resume next week if the move to our new (old) studios is complete.)

03/20/2022

We are now allowed to have up to two visitors in the studio for interviews, etc.
Local bands, take note.

Holiday greetings to all of our metalhead listeners!
If you have any holiday song requests for our Christmas show -- which will actually fall ON Christmas night this year :o -- go ahead and let us know!

08/25/2020

After our long hiatus, WREK is returning "live" to the airwaves. Per the campus' draconian COVID-related restrictions, only hosts currently affiliated with Georgia Tech -- i.e., students and faculty -- can be in the studio, so only Matt/DJ-Kraken will be able to host the show for now. If all goes well, our first "live" broadcast since March will take place this coming Friday.

WREKage: Atlanta's Metal Radio

Here are some metal Youtube playlists, carefully curated by your humble WREKage deejays, to tide us all over until we can do our show live in the studio again. Everything from power- and death-metal to traditional heavy metal and a BIG collection of metal covers. Enjoy!

03/17/2020

Sad news:
Due to the COVID-19 virus and the lockdown of the Georgia Tech campus, ALL staffed shows at WREK -- including WREKage -- have been suspended indefinitely and the studio is off-limits.
EDIT: if possible, we will try to rebroadcast some old shows each week to at least have SOME metal on the radio......

08/23/2019

We will have tickets to give away for ProgPower USA tonight on WREKage. These will be for Days 3 and 4; both days are sold out.

12/18/2018

We at WREKage would like to wish our listeners a happy holiday season...and of course, solicit any song requests you might have for our upcoming Xmas show. (Yes, ov co**se we'll play King Diamond!)
Anything particularly evil, blasphemous or even -- dare I say it -- Christmas-y y'all want to hear? :)

It's about time for another all-covers show! Tentatively setting it for March 31 - April 1st and taking suggestions for good metal covers.

01/06/2017

Since the Tech campus is closed today due to impending weather, there will probably be no show tonight.
Barring any further weirdness we should be back, live and on the air next Friday night at midnight.

Since we couldn't get to all the covers the first time, we have tentatively scheduled our second all-covers show on WREKage for the evening of April 22nd.
....."Tentatively" because you never know what might happen: LAST time, we couldn't get the automated system to start up at the end of our show AND we couldn't shut the transmitter off. :)

The WREKAGE All-covers show is happening TONIGHT at midnight!
Live-streaming IS available at the link below, as WREK.org is currently down -- or tune to 91.1 FM if you're in the Atlanta area.
http://streaming.wrek.org:8000/main/128kb.mp3

02/26/2016

All-covers show update: As mentioned on the WREKage FB group, one of the servers at the WREK studio is down. What this means is that, until Engineering can fix it, the live-streaming will not be running, and the archiver that saves off the radio broadcast in half-hour chunks is also down...plus the online request widget on wrek.org will be unavailable too.

We've postponed this show too many times already so we WILL do it Friday night at midnight, with apologies to our more distant live-stream listeners. We're hoping someone will record it for us.

WREKage: Atlanta's Metal Radio

Our postponed WREKage all-covers broadcast will now take place the night of February 26th (at midnight) into early Saturday the 27th. 91.1 FM in Atlanta, live streaming via the website everywhere else.
We'll be able to take limited requests by phone and online during the show, but we received so many suggestions on the WREKage FB group that we've got enough to last for hours!
www.wrekage.org

01/22/2016

Weather and WREKage update: We will probably have to postpone tonight's all-covers show -- and maybe WREKage itself -- due to weather. We are still evaluating the situation. The Georgia Tech campus closed officially at noon. :(

01/20/2016

Edit: this will probably have to be postponed due to weather.

As a reminder, we'll be doing an all- (or almost all) covers show this Friday night on WREKage, including as many of your suggestions on the WREKage FB group as we can obtain. Midnight on Friday until 6 am or we get tired, whichever comes first.
Also, are any WREKage listeners interested in going to Days of the Dead in Atlanta on Feb. 5-7? We may have some tickets available as call-in contest prizes. :)

11/03/2015

For those with Sirius/XM satellite radio, I'll be on Liquid Metal tonight at 6 pm as the host of Listener Domination. You'll be able to hear why I'm NOT a paid, professional deejay, just a volunteer......but you'll also hear five really cool songs of my choosing. One of them is 10 minutes long...and another is 16. smile emoticon
The segment re-airs Thursday at 10 am, Saturday at 3 pm, Sunday at midnight and Monday at 9 pm, all times ET...and none of those conflict with WREKage!
-- Paul C.

08/17/2015

We will have tickets to give away on WREKage for ProgPower USA -- both festival nights, Friday Sept. 11th and Saturday the 12th -- this coming Friday and the Friday afterward.
Yes, this is a sold-out show.
Dollar value of a pair of tickets is ~$280.
Thanks go to Glenn Harveston for this. He is awesomeness...personified.

Tonight's WREKage broadcast is Melkor's last as a regular show-host. He'll be doing the show himself, serving up a full six hours of metal...should be awesome. 91.1 FM in Atlanta, live online elsewhere and archived for later consumption.

THE AXEMASTER ALBUM "CRAWLING CHAOS" IS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON PURE STEEL RECORDS. Hope all will check out an official video from the album..... https://www.facebook.com/axemasterofficial/videos/1968338276516263/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efzKaKP2RuA

"Crawling Chaos" is 10 tracks of a combination of traditional/thrash/doom metal with major label sound that shows the band's evolution while still paying respect to their metal roots from the late 80's & early 90's. Indications are that "Crawling Chaos" will be the most memorable Axemaster release to date. You can get your copy of the album at http://www.axemasterofficial.com/webstore/
https://www.puresteel-shop.com/AXEMASTER-Crawling-Chaos_1
(as well as MANY other places online including Walmart.com and FYE.com)
