Zomcast 53: Synthesizers in metal? You’re damn right!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:49:58 +0000

Zomcast on a Monday? I know, it’s weird for me to. Beerchop checks in as my co-host this week and we play some music with synthesizers in it. I know what your saying to yourself and now we haven’t gone soft and we aren’t playing Ah-ha or Cutting Crew. Give a listen, lots of metal More >

Zomcast 52: Hot Dog, Prog Metal and Placenta

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:50:30 +0000

There I am just hanging out and guess who shows up? Hot Dog! That means it’s time to turn on some mics and have pointless discussions about things that don’t matter. Some people call this a waste of time, but I call it a hobby! This episode I was inspired to take a little trip More >

Zomcast 51: Beerchop, Germans and stuff gets weird.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:35:25 +0000

I’ve been threatening to do it for a while and well, I finally got Studio Z set up to be able to have guests call in via Skype. As such, this week I welcome Beerchop as my guest host. We have some history that goes back a few years. It was strange to have a More >

Zomcast 50: My top 5 of 2011

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:36:17 +0000

Another magical year has passed us by. Some of it has been good, some it great and some of it just awful…it’s called “life”. This week it’s my top 5 albums of 2011. You’ll probably listen to them and tell me I’m full of crap..hey, let me know what your top 5 is. Sure, I More >

Zomcast 49: Roadrage

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:40:58 +0000

Hot Dog got tied up so I had to go it solo. I got on a tirade about people driving in the snow…a tirade that I had no idea was even in me until I unleashed the fury. I think I feel a little better now that it’s out. Bands featured this week are Iced More >

Zomcast 48: Happy Thankgiving, now here is some tasty new music

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:30:52 +0000

HAPPY THANKSGIVING. After taking a week off to let my voice and my ears heal from the last show I went to, I’m back with a new episode. This week I realized that it’s been a few weeks since I’ve really played some new bands and given some new stuff to choke on…so here it More >

Zomcast 47: 1986…ish

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:31:21 +0000

Since 11-11-11 is National Metal Day I decided to go a little retro. The year of 1986ish was a fantastic year for metal and a pivotal year for this metal fan. I don’t think you can appretciate what you have today unless you know where it came from. Oh yeah, I almost forgot….HOT DOG IS BACK! Strangely, More >

Zomcast 46: Happy Halloween!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:11:03 +0000

Happy Halloween A! I don’t know why I said “A”…I guess I’m feel especially Canadian today. I’m not even sure why I feel Canadian. I mean, I’ve been there a few times but as far as I know there is no Canuck blood coursing through these veins. I guess feeling Canadian is just like feel More >

Zomcast 45 – Instrumetal

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:05:37 +0000

Hi kids! How have you all been? I’ve been good, but obviously a little lazy since you haven’t been seeing regular podcasts from me. I’m trying to get out of my funk I swear….and by funk I mean mood, not my own poo. This week it’s all about instrumental metal or “instrumetal”…I’m gonna trademark that More >

Zomcast 44 – Back with a little thrash

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:20:12 +0000

I’m getting my crap back together. Yes, I’m recording the podcast again. Sadly, this week I’m a man without a wiener. Hot dog is off being the mythical creature that he is and eluding the authorities so we haven’t been able to connect do do any recording. I’ll have to do. Bands feature this week are More >

Zomcast 43 – Solo broadcast to say goodbye to a friend…

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 23:11:00 +0000

It’s been a few weeks since we broadcast, I apologize. It’s a very somber broadcast this week as I take an opportunity to say goodbye to one of my best friends, my dog of 15 years, Dakota. 15 years is a heck of a long time to share a roof with someone and he was always More >

Zomcast 42 – Fake bands, real songs

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:13:39 +0000

Thankfully, Hot Dogs innards are back to normal and we have fewer discussions about poop. This week I had a stroke of inspiration from hanging out at the “Ripper Owens Tap House” to do a show that is fake bands but real songs. Bands this week include Lestat, Dethklok and Steel Dragon. If you haven’t More >

Zomcast 41 – Cougars, Potter and Poo.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:37:44 +0000

This week we rambled about Harry Potter, cougars running around Canton and Hot Dogs current pooping situation. For music this week it’s classic metal bands who are still turning our current music. I think we did a pretty good job. Bands this week include Motorhead, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest If you haven’t checked it More >

Zomcast 40 – Punching the Reboot on Life?

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:37:48 +0000

Check out the sweet new Zomcast logo! I happen to really like it, but I may be a bit bias since I made it. This week we talk about the dude who is ebaying his life, Hot Dogs fast forward vacation and start to show how boring we really are. Not our most humerious episode More >

Zomcast 39: Hip Hop, Technical Issues and Weirdness

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 01:48:15 +0000

We have come to realized the Hot Dog and I just talk too damn much. This episode goes almost an hour and we still only played three songs… we are some chatty bitches. We had a few technical difficulties and things went a little weird. Bands for this go round are Cynic, Therion and Van Canto You More >

Zomcast 38 – Zomcast Maritals Vol. 1

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 23:40:10 +0000

This week we have a very special Zomcast. I’m calling it Zomcast Maritals…Mrs. Zombie joins me on the microphone. She doesn’t see to think she did very well but I think she did fabulous. Please let her know how fabulous she did. I think you’ll enjoy our random banter. Bands for this go round are More >

Zomcast 37 – Bears, Banjos and Political Asylum

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 21:57:30 +0000

This deal with Hot Dog is almost become like a regular part of the show. We did a morning recording and things got a bit lengthy…it’s probably only funny to me, but that’s really all that matters. I’m not joking in the episode title BTW. Bands for this go round are Tyr, Forever In Terror More >

Zomcast 36 – Growly chicks = Metal I don’t really care for

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:23:03 +0000

My co-host returned this week for more strange ramblings about things metal and things not. We may only make ourselves laugh but at least we do that. This is the part where I normally tell you what we rambled about, but I honestly don’t remember. I do remember that I featured some songs that I More >

Zomcast 35 – Pirate Metal and a Co-host

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Tue, 31 May 2011 00:24:45 +0000

This episode we have a very special occurrence…my first guest! That’s right kids, Hot Dog joined me as a co-host this week and well, you’ll have to tell me how you think it went. In honor of Disney and their new blockbuster we are featuring Pirate Metal. I know, I was surprised when I learned More >

Zomcast 34 – New to me and the economy!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:12:48 +0000

This week I make sweeping accusations and rampant generalizations about the general ma-laze of John Q. Pubic as I go on a little soliloquy about society, the media and the economy. OK, it really isn’t nearly that deep, but that sounded pretty impressive. Bands featured this week include Periphery, Grand Magus and Scar Symmetry. As More >

Zomcast 33 – A man ain’t no man unless he’s got a Cadillac.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 16 May 2011 00:46:05 +0000

In this episode I attempt to embrace the lighter side of metal. Even the most dower, dark and angry metalhead has to laugh and smile once in a while. I also rant a little about crappy event organization and how I loved the circus. Bands featured this week include Anthrax, Quiet Riot and Volbeat. As More >

Zomcast 32 – Vomit (again) and Metal Ballads

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:35:26 +0000

I’m back again after one of my all too frequent multi-week Zomcast breaks. I took a little vacation trip and then I decided to come back and party like a rock star. I discovered that as much as I would like to be…I’m not a rock star. As I morn the loss of my sanity, More >

Zomcast 31 – RIP Mike Star and metal from the past

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 22:25:41 +0000

This week I talk about the strangeness that was the TSO Beethoven’s Last Night. Good show, odd experience. I also have some brief ramblings that don’t make much sense about being your kids parent and not their friend….sorry, you can’t always be a friend. We take a few moments to say goodbye to Mike Starr. More >

Zomcast 30 – No rants, just rambling

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:46:56 +0000

No, I’m not ranting about stuff that doesn’t make sense…I’m just rambling and not making any sense. This is what happens when you leave a man like me alone with his thoughts and a microphone. You get a bunch of unfunny ramblings that only make sense to the admitting physician. Bands featured this week include More >

Zomcast 29 – Vomit and Viking Metal

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 00:22:09 +0000

I’ve been on a bit of a break because….I broke myself. I tell a nice little disgusting story about how it all went down, or didn’t go down depending on how you want to take that. After I get done telling you about my adventures with pathogens and porcelain, I go on to play some More >

Zomcast 28 – I have no idea what I’m talking about.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:45:25 +0000

Honestly, I have no clue what I’m talking about this week. My brain doesn’t seem to be working exactly right lately (I mean, not right for me…. not “not right” for you. “Not right” for you is probably “right” for me). I just sat down, pressed record and saw what came out. I’m almost afraid More >

Zomcast 27 – St. Valentine’s Day…feel the love

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 00:38:31 +0000

This week I’m up and running with all my new nifty recording schwag and I’m feeling the love. I’m pushing this out the day before the love holiday or as I like to think of it…the useless crock of shit holiday where people are brainwashed into thinking that candy and a crappy teddy bear are More >

Zomcast 26 – My playlist and a case of the sads

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:17:55 +0000

Howdy fans! Yes, I just said howdy. Well, for some reason I’ve got a bit of a case of the sads. Could it be the freezing temps, the sheet of ice covering everything or maybe the insane lack of sunshine that is NE. Ohio this time of year?…I’m going to venture to say that it’s More >

Zomcast 25 – American Metal & Studio Lazarus arises

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 01:24:53 +0000

Howdy ya ungrateful bastards! Like Lazarus, Studio Z is back from the dead. The renovations are coming to a close and this place is looking better than it ever has. I don’t really rant about much this week. A little jab about dealing with change and I lament on on how bad Headbangers Ball sucks More >

Zomcast 24 – The Metal Year in Review

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 00:39:53 +0000

It’s the year end wrap up for Zomcast. I was planning on a Christmas episode but it just didn’t happen. This week I rant about…nothing. That’s right, just me playing music. OK, I do at least talk a little but this episode is all about my top metal picks. I play cuts from my top More >

Zomcast 23 – Metal Weather and stop disrespecting me

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:47:19 +0000

Zomcast Episode 22 – Southern Rock is alive and well…and you should be too.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:06:29 +0000

This episode I go on a little jag talking about people who live in the past. You know that dude at the part who has been telling the same story for the past 20 years or that co-worker who still talks about how great it used to be. If you are that dude who still More >

Zomcast Episode 21 – Hating on the haters and Beauty and the Beast

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:35:01 +0000

This week I spend sometime talking about the people who can’t seem to accept any thing that is out side of what they like. At the same time, I bash the idiots who are dumb enough to think that the world should be non-judgemetal…I don’t know where these things come from. For music this episode, More >

Zomcast Episode 20 – My playlist and People being nice freaks me out.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 22:45:36 +0000

I survived Las Vegas. It was a good trip but there is no place like home. I really have become a crabby old man and would rather sleep in my own bed. This week I talk about how I’m not used to a people being really nice to me and providing a high level of More >

Zomcast Episode 19 – I’m back! Happy Halloween!!!!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 21:47:48 +0000

I have to apologize for the extended absence. I truly have no excuse that is worthy of throwing out there so suck it! Now, with that out of the way… I knew that I had to have an episode up for Halloween. I mean honestly, what holiday is more metal than Halloween? I really don’t More >

Zomcast Episode 18 – Folk Metal and stop telling me because I just don’t care

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:36:41 +0000

Earlier this week someone asked me about folk metal and what I thought about some bands so it started me thinking. I go off on a little jag about how much I hate when people tell me all about how wonderful their kids are…how they are the cutest kids, smartest kids, etc. and so on. More >

Zomcast Episode 17 – Metal brought to you by the number 3, and get off your backside!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 22:44:23 +0000

I don’t really know where the idea for this weeks show came from but, it features bands that use numbers in their name. It just so happens that all 3 bands that I featured have the number 3 in their name. Could it a manifestation of the trinity? I wasn’t around last weekend to put More >

Zomcast Episode 16 – Power Metal and please stop with the “overshare”

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:42:48 +0000

This week is one my favorite types of metal…POWER METAL!!! Being a kid who loved fantasy novels and Dungeons and Dragons (Ok, I admit it… I still love all that stuff) you can imagine how pleased I was when I discovered power metal. From my first Dio and Blind Guardian albums on, I was a More >

Zomcast Episode 15 – You are what’s wrong with customer service and the bands that made me metal

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:13:45 +0000

Woot! It was a crazy busy week this week but I still made time to visit Studio Z and do a little Zomcasting! This week I reflect on customer service and go off on a little rant about what I think is wrong with it and I hate to break it to you but, it’s More >

Zomcast Episode 14 – The biggest bands you’ve never heard of and where is my Chewbacca?

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:55:24 +0000

So yeah, I had a two week gap again. I’m sorry. I just had too much fun when I was at the Mayhem Festival and I wasn’t up to putting together an episode last week. But, I’m back. This week I spend a little time talking about people who don’t want anything to change. I More >

Zomcast Episode 13 – Brought to you by the letter “P” and you can’t be all things to everyone…or something like that.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:15:43 +0000

I’m back from vacation! Yep, you get to deal with me some more. Today I got off on a little tangent about uni-taskers vs. multi-taskers. I’m not talking about people…I don’t care about them. I’m talking about stuff. It could be your cell phone or your stove. Some times, it’s cool to be able to More >

Zomcast Episode 12 – It’s the little things

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:12:48 +0000

Went and saw Dream Theater and Iron Maiden this past week. It was an amazing concert but it brought up a few things that I go on a rant about. There are couple things that venues need to pay attention too that would really make the concert going experience that much better. The bands featured More >

Zomcast Episode 11 – 80′s songs gone metal and how the TV lies to you

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 22:56:42 +0000

80′s songs gone metal and how the TV lies to you. I realize there was lots of great music in the 80′s…hell, I’m a product of Bay Area thrash metal but let’s face it, there was a ton of garbage. Thankfully some of your favorite metal bands and mine of remade some of these turds More >

Zomcast Episode 10 – Let’s celebrate by playing some metal and blowing crap up!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:09:55 +0000

Happy Independence Day. Yes, I’m coming to you live…uh, well not really. Coming you to recorded from the Zombie Den on this, the birthday of our nation. Because of the holiday I decided to play you some “patriotic” music. So, it’s not really patriotic in the traditional sense but if you listen you get what More >

Zomcast Episode 9 – Stoner Metal and maybe it’s time for a reset

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:18:53 +0000

This week I stepped up to the microphone without much of an idea about what I was going to say. As I sat there I thought about how convoluted things have become and decided that maybe it’s time for a reset. So, you can listen to me wax adequately about the possibility of a change. More >

Zomcast Episode 8 – Industrial Metal and being poor isn’t an excuse

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:47:00 +0000

Zomcast Episode 7 – Don’t jack me around…just tell me the price! American Heavy Metal

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:00:24 +0000

This week I decided to go with some straight forward good old fashioned American heavy metal. There are so many different sub-species of metal these days that everyone is looking for a their little “unique” piece of the world when they could do well to stick to the heavy metal ABC’s. I also spend some More >

Zomcast Episode 6 – Post Metal and you don’t “deserve a vacation”.

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:23:42 +0000

This week I’m feeling a bit mopey and emo. I talk about how if you are reading this and listening to this you really are rich and I also talk about how you don’t “deserve a vacation”. I have a little angst towards people with a sense of entitlement who say they “deserve” something. Yes, More >

Zomcast Episode 5 – R.I.P. Paul Gray and please standardize!

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Mon, 31 May 2010 00:42:03 +0000

Zomcast Episode 4 – Hollywood is destroying my childhood and something a little different

zomcast@wingzombie.com (Wing Zombie) — Sun, 23 May 2010 20:28:48 +0000

Dear Hollywood, please quit remaking movies and quit turning stuff into movies that you shouldn’t. Please… This week I rant about how the movie industry keeps screwing with my childhood memories. I went to a show this week and I talk about the weirdness that is going to a “god rock” show. I’m featuring the More >
