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!

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!

WREKage - Atlanta's metal radio on WREK 91.1, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA USA.

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......

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. :)

Black metal murder to be Ridley Scott film

http://www.thelocal.no/20150505/norways-black-metal-murder-to-be-hollywood-film

The spate of black metal church burnings which ended in a murder, shocking Norway in the early nineties, is being made into a Hollywood feature film by Bladerunner-director Ridley Scott’s production company.

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.

08/01/2015

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.
