BEST OF 2007

 

Well after 13 years of RSL’s HFM finally got a full time licence and began transmission in February and my lifetime dream of presenting a Metal show finally came to fruition.  Musically speaking its been another good year for Metal with some fantastic releases, some surprises and a few let downs but overall good, Thrash Metal has been given a new lease of life in 2007 with the old school coming out with excellent CD’s, Exodus, Overkill, Destruction, Agent Steel & Megadeth doing very well and new bands like Evile, Fueled By Fire and Legion Of The Damned showing that Thrash is far from being dead and is alive and well, with any luck 2008 will se this position consolidated.

 

On a more sombre note we sadly lost Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot and the drummer with Decapitated being killed in a tour bus accident that almost mirrored the one that befell Metallica 2 decades earlier.

 

A big thanks has to go out to the following people without who’s help my Metal Mayhem show could not exist as I rely heavily on receiving promo’s as my show is done on a voluntary basis with no budget so stand up and take a bow; Andy Turner (Metal Blade), Daniel Sammeroff (roadrunner), Paul @ Peacville, Dan Tivemark, Karl, Eleven PR, Roland @ Work Hard PR, Sarah @ Century Media, Tapio @ Shadow World and last but by no means least Simon Wbmaster Parry and Chris and all the management team at HFM.

 

If you like to be included in the above honours list them pleas contact me at Justin@justin-case.co.uk all promos gratefully received,

Happy New Year to all Metal fans.
