Let's not beat around the bush.This is a new episode of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.  I've not done one for a few months for... reasons.Turn it up.

Welcome to the much-delayed September edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.Why the delay?  Family bereavement.  Nuff said.  Anyway, I'm back and since I already had the tracklisting sorted, I thought I'd record the show I'd already built.  This stuff might not be as new as what I normally serve up, but I still think there'll be something in there you've never heard before.

A slightly longer show this week.  I seem to be getting back into this.  At least for now.  The new stuff is the focus of this generation of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, so that's what this week's edition is all about - new music.  As a bit of an indulgence, though, I am finishing with a classic slice of 80's cheese.Mosh buffers to maximum.  Here we go...

I just slung together a few tracks I like.This could go back to being a regular thing.See what you think.

I know I say this pretty much every time, but there's a whole load of new stuff in this latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. You have my cast iron guarantee you will hear something in this show that you've never heard before. You may even discover your new favourite band. There's certainly enough candidates. Before I started compiling the playlist even I'd never heard seventeen of these songs before.Not only is there an absolute f*ck-tonne of new stuff, there's also all your favourite regular features like Covered, Spotlight (where I play some tracks from a band you may have forgotten about - shame on you!) and Russian Roulette (where YOU can pick the songs).As usual, if you want to get in touch to ask for a song or contribute to Russian Roulette or suggest a band for Covered or Spotlight, you can talk to me via the Contact page on the website at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com, on Twitter @wyrdwaysrock or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WWRSTheForge. If you become a Patreon Subscriber at patreon.com/metalscienceteacher you also get access to the Discord, you get the show at higher sound quality and earlier than anyone else AS WELL AS several exclusive subscriber-only bonus shows such as The Thrash Hour, The Power Hour and The Trad Metal Meltdown which are all the ideal length for your workout, commute or whatever else you need an concentrated burst of PROPER HEAVY METAL to get you through.Anyway. Time to set your Mosh buffers to maximum and redline the Trash drives!

After last week's show, I thought I'd go a bit Heavier this time out. So for those of you who like a bit more Thrash and Death Metal in your auditory diet, there's a little more for you to get your teeth into.That doesn't mean the fans of Hard Rock and Power Metal are left high and dry, though. There's definitely a few moments for you in there, too. Personal picks for this week among the new stuff include Thrasherwolf, Defecto and Schwarzer Engel. This week's Spotlight band are also something of a personal favourite, having seen them absolutely steal the show when supporting Orange Goblin at the original Bradford Rios many moons ago and again at the Damnation Festival in Leeds a few years later.As usual, if you want to get in touch to ask for a song or contribute to Russian Roulette or suggest a band for Covered or Spotlight, you can talk to me via the Contact page at http://www.wyrdwaysrs.com, on Twitter @wyrdwaysrock or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/WWRSTheForge.

Be vigilant! Misbehave!

What have we got for you in this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show? Simple answer is loads of good quality Metal, starting with new stuff from Finntroll, Carcass and Machine Head. Not only that, but there's a Covered that you might find somewhat surprising and a Russian Roulette choice that you might not find at all surprising.Generally, as usual, two hours of quality Hard Rock and Metal.What more do you need?
