Friends, Romans, Metalheads, lend me your ears!

Metal is the most legendary and epic music of all. Indeed, if metal was a metal, it would be orichalcum. Thus, it's no surprise that metal very often concerns itself with epic legends. Be it ancient myths like the Odyssey or mysterious creatures that conjure equal fear and wonder, the two go together like Thor and Mjölnir.

Tune in this Wednesday from 1300 GMT/0800 EST/1400 CET on MetalWorldRadio.com for monstrous music, mythical mirth with the listeners and a suitably titanic Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner).

After being forced to take last week off, I'm coming back with an absolute beauty. The third in Metal Empire's four-part Ozzy Forever tribute series sees us listen to the solo work of the sorely missed Prince of Darkness.

With tracks like Bark At The Moon, Mama, I'm Coming Home and of course the legendary Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne's solo output contains music to rival and, in some cases, even better, his erstwhile band's.

Of course, we'll be having an Ozzy-centric Triple Triumph (one song, three versions, you pick the winner) along with all the amazing music and banter with the chatroom. Tune in from 1300 GMT/1400 CET/0800 EST on MetalWorldRadio.com to listen to some of the finest, most iconic sounds every created.

Unfortunately there will be no show this coming Wednesday as I'll be relocating to a new home. However, on the show after that, we'll be continuing our multi-month, four-part tribute to the greatest man in heavy metal. Apologies for the disruption.

For this latest special in The Year Where Every Show Is A Special So No Show Is Special, we're going on a crime spree. Every song will concern breaking the law (breaking the law).

During a time when the news is so full of absolute horrors at home and abroad, here's some that's lovely and wholesome.

By the way, Judas Priest singer Rob Halford got married to his longtime partner Thomas last year. No, your invitation didn’t get lost in the mail.

Halford told Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears on his Q***r the Music podcast this week that after years of putting it off, the couple finally made it official in a small, private ceremony last year.

Scientists in the UK have named the fossil of a prehistoric, 19-foot-long crocodile after the late Motörhead frontman, Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister.

Lemmysuchus, as the 145 million-year-old creature is now known, had to be renamed after scientists realized that it had been misclassified when it was discovered in 1909.

Together forge a Metal Empire

The exact moment when RJ knew that heavy music was meant for him was doing his paper round, before school, when the DJ played GN’R among a sea of noughties pop toss. It probably helped his love of radio too.

While his day job is using his English voice as an audiobook narrator, VO artist and sound designer, he’s spent half a decade involved with internet and FM radio from his Edinburgh home. He’s been a weekday talk-show host on local radio and a reviewer and traffic and travel presenter on national stations, but his passion is for bringing unique heavy metal music, interviews, discussion and waffle to the people.

RJ presents Metal Empire, bringing you the more melodic side of metal, be it vintage Sabbath or modern Amarth. Expect to hear traditional, symphonic, thrash, a dash of folk and a dollop of unusual metal with plenty of European artists.

Every Wed from 8:00-10:00 AM EST and 1:00-3:00 PM GMT.
