This week I decided to play a live themed show, featuring live songs from all the usual band featured on Metal Oxide. I really enjoyed the show this week and I think this is my favorite theme that we do. Look forward to the possibility for more of these shows in the future.

For news I made the exciting announcement that Paganfest is returning to North America, making a stop in Chicago at Reggies on April 5. Turisas is headlining, with support from Alestorm, Ex Deo, and Arkona. Needless to say, I can barely contain my excitment.

First Winter Break Show, 12/3/11

Hello Everybody,

This week went well I think. I was on my own, so I was boring and probably didn't make much sense on air, but I still think I did a good job. I ended up making a few changes to the playlist, partially because of requests, which included Type O Negative and Edguy, and I also played a song form the local band, Shield of Wings. There was a lot of great folk metal, which is always good.

There wasn't really any news, just album updates really.

This week's playlist:
"Wanderlust" - Nightwish
"Welcome to Dying" - Blind Guardian
"Flag in the Ground" - Sonata Arctica

"Nymphetamine" - Cradle of Filth
"Persepolis" - Septic Flesh
"Frozen Angel" - Norther
"I Don't Want to be Me" - Type O Negative
"We Don't Ned a Hero" - Edguy
"Where Is Your God?" - Amon Amarth
"Solarium" - Shield of Wings
"Yarilo" - Arkona
"The Visitor" - Kivimetsan Druidi
"Stand Up and Fight" - Turisas
