News this week about ructions in the Black Sabbath camp. Looks like there's trouble at t'mill when it comes to contracts. News, also, about additions to the Bloodstock line-up, and I've finally got round to playing the interview I did with Marc Rizzo, guitarist from Soulfly, at Sonisphere 2010. Better late than never, eh? Anyway, you can find all of that and a bit more at the Wyrd Ways Rock Show website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com.

Nice varied show this week. Some Proper Heavy Metal, a splash of Classic Rock, some Power Metal and a fair old slab of Doom. Not only that, there’s a new track from Metallica’s new Beyond Magnetic release (an apology for Lulu, mayhap?) and this weeks the Spotlight falls on a band that want to play at Bloodstock this year, and really do deserve the chance: Bastard Son Of Toranaga. If you want to help that to happen, give the show a listen. You can find it all at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com

This week's show is dedicated to The Godfather of Heavy Metal, the RiffMaster himself, Tony Iommi, who was recently diagnosed with early stage lymphoma. Reminded by this, a couple of cancer charity singles get some play (so you can go and buy them). There's also your usual quota of new stuff, filled this week by Therapy?, Lamb Of God (an exclusive track!), Biohazard and Venom! It also becomes obvious that your host is a bit of an old perve... but we knew that anyway! Anyway, everything you need is at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com

Welcome to the 175th Wyrd Ways Rock Show! You’ll be glad to hear there is going to be one mention of the word “Christmas” this week. What about the music, then? There’s some bits and pieces including new stuff from Pythia, Orange Goblin, Ministry (sort of!), Lamb Of God, Eisregen and a bit of Hellfighter. Got another Spotlight for you this week, too. They’re a band I’ve seen three times so far this year. At the SOS Festival back in July, then putting in a truly awesome set on the Sophie Lancaster Stage at Bloodstock, and finally a couple of weeks ago at The Snooty Fox in Wakefield. They are, of course, the mighty Evil Scarecrow! It's all there for you at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com

This week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show is stuffed absolutely to the gunwhales with brand new stuff. If you want a huge chunk of Stoner, I've got the likes of Pilgrim and Lonely Kamel.

As everybody comes home from Hard Rock Hell for another year, at The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, we take a look back at ANOTHER one I didn't end up going to! Got the accreditation too late to sort anything out for HRH III, couldn't get there for HRH IV because of the snow, and for this year, I was ill (only really recovering now). Ah well. Maybe next year. Anyway, this week's show features the bands I'd've been trying to see over the weekend, so for some of you, this will be a nice aural souvenir of the festival. Come and download it from http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com.
