This was our final episode of the year featuring DEATH METAL DECEMBER, so we made it count by dedicating the 12 o'clock hour to nothing but the most brutal Death Metal!

Our third and final hour featured nothing but requests. We opened up the phone lines completely and let the Metal Shop listeners take over the show. Some highlights were Amon Amarth, Slayer, Crowbar and Integrity. \m/

Metal Shop starts this week with In Flames! We are joined this week by our 1 week intern Travis The Virus, while we finalize our search for our semi-permanent Metal Shop intern. We gave some lucky listeners Paul Di'anno tickets, and DEATH METAL DECEMBER continues on, as we provide you with an outlet for your anti-holiday rage.

From The Vault: tonight we featured Godflesh. A bit more industrial, but a change from the brutality of Death Metal December. This hour featured a great call from a HUGE Manowar fan and we just couldn't say no! This week's X-Mas song was August Burns Red recreating The Little Drummer boy in a very strange and heavy fasion. Our first round of Splatterhouse video games also took place this hour.

Caught In A Mosh! Tonight we bring you a barrage of fast, short, brutal songs. Circle Of Dead Children into Gaza, Graf Orlock and Owen Hart, ending with Impending Doom. We also played Agalloch and mentioned GWAR's holiday greetings! Splatterhouse games were given away, and we ended with Arch Enemy. Many thanks to our friend Travis The Virus for filling in as Intern of the night!

We kicked off the show tonight with Black Metal from Anaal Nathrakh, and also featured our first ever segment of Death Metal December. Bang your head to the brutality as an answer to the holiday season!

From The Vault - tonight we featured Manowar out by request. We also made our tribute to Dimebag - RIP!
