I've been behind the mic for a long time, starting my radio journey with a bang as I co-hosted a comedy and political talk show on Raz Radio and Saltytalk Radio. Those early days were all about pushing boundaries, sparking debates, and sharing laughs — a perfect mix of humor and heated discussions that kept listeners on the edge of their seats. But as much as I loved the thrill of talk radio, I knew my passion for music, particularly the raw power of metal, was calling me in a different direction. That led me to Total Metal Radio, where I began DJing and playing the music that had always moved me. It was an incredible experience, but after a while, I felt a pull to create something of my own — something that truly embodied the spirit of the metal community. So, I took a leap and launched That Metal Station. With an amazing lineup of DJs, we built a station that quickly became a sanctuary for metal lovers everywhere. From deep cuts of classic metal to the latest underground anthems, we created a space where the music could speak for itself and the community could thrive. Running the station was an unforgettable adventure, filled with countless late nights, live shows, and collaborations that made it feel like a second home. But, like all great journeys, there came a time when it all became too much to handle. It was time to pass the torch. With my blessing, I handed the reins over to a couple of friends who shared the passion and drive to keep the station alive and thriving, and they've been managing it ever since. For about 5 or 6 years, I stepped away from radio altogether. I thought I was done; the desire just wasn’t there anymore. But life has a way of pulling you back. A conversation with Metal Mike sparked something within me — an idea, a vision. There was one show I would consider doing, but only with the right people. One of those key people was Jeff. We talked, reminisced, and realized there was still some unfinished business on the airwaves. So, here I am at Cranium Radio, ready to pick up where I left off and continue this journey. It's been a wild ride, but being back feels right. Not to mention, it's given me a chance to reconnect with some of the family I lost along the way. This is where my path has taken me, and I'm excited to be back, spinning the tracks that matter and connecting with listeners who live and breathe the music just like I do.

Hello, I am DJ Ghost, your Brazilian friend. I’m from the vinyl era, and since the 80s I’ve been “infiltrated” in the metal scene, I was taken over by the love of bass with Iron Maiden that was the biggest influence in the beginning and after meeting Faith no More and Mr. Bungle he never […]

My love for all things Hard Rock/Heavy Metal began when my older brother David (AKA Scapegoat to long-time listeners of The Metal Mike Show) brought home a copy of KISS Alive in early 1976 when I was only 5 years old. Upon gazing at the cover, I was at first somewhat apprehensive about the four individuals with kabuki make up and outlandish costumes. Dave, knowing of my love for comic book superheroes presented it as these four individuals, were in fact, superheroes that played music. He then removed the record from the sleeve and placed it on our parents turntable and dropped the needle, from the minute I heard the roar of the crowd with the announcer proclaiming “You wanted the best and you got it, the hottest band in the land) KISS!!!!!!”, (They hadn’t quite conquered the world yet), with the accompanying guitar riff and subsequent explosion, My world was never the same. After that, my brothers and I were introduced to Black Sabbath courtesy of a family friend and there was no turning back. My love for all things Hard Rock/Heavy Metal has never wavered. I have been an online radio DJ since May of 2015 and I am still going strong to this day! Becoming an online radio DJ/Personality and Podcaster has been the greatest decision I have ever made. While I truly do love all types of music, Hard Rock & Heavy Metal has been and always will be my first love! To put it succinctly I live Metal, love Metal and will remain Metal until my dying breath. You can listen to the Metal Mike Show with DJ Metal Mike and my Co-Host Billdo For Realdo AKA Bill Roseberry every Friday night right here at Cranium Radio from 8 PM to 1 AM EST where we play all types of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal along with all of its myriad subgenres as well as artists/bands that were influential to the creation and evolution of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. There is truly something for every type of fan of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal on The Metal Mike Show. When I'm not busy being DJ Metal Mike, I work as an Infection Preventionist Nurse at a long-term healthcare facility, I'm also a huge movie buff, an avid reader of all things Sc-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror, as well as comic books, a huge old-School muscle car enthusiast, particularly Mopars as well as a casual gamer.

I’ve always been surrounded by music. One of my earliest memories was looking and listening to my folks Beatles cassettes. Seeing KISS one Saturday on television during the reunion era was, as corny as it sounds, nothing short of life changing. I was immediately hooked and had finally found “my band.” Sure I had hand-me down cassettes from my folks and older brother, but KISS was the first band I found for myself. From there on it was a like treasure hunt for their contemporaries and getting into AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and the list goes on. Growing up in “Heavy Metal Capital Of The World” San Antonio, TX made finding things like this easy. Mario Munoz hosted the Classic Metal Show on KZEP 104.5 which ran from Sundays 9 PM to 1 AM was a crash course in all this. Late night VH-1 countdowns and videos were another huge influence and a bridge between the bands I loved and the bands I would soon fall for. Frank Zappa, MC5, Husker Du, Grateful Dead were all discovered then. After moving to South Carolina, in college I work at a record store that was the absolute best place to get educated in all genres of music. John Coltrane, Ernest Tubb, 13th Floor Elevators, Return To Forever, on and on, all this amazing stuff I’d probably never gravitate towards became the soundtrack of my life. And it hasn’t slowed down. I’m still buying the magazines, reading the band bios, always looking for something new to me, and still buying physical media. Quick notes: My favorite bands are Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Rolling Stones, Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis… Top Five Favorite Albums: 1. MC5 - Kick Out The Jams 2. Led Zeppelin- II 3. Beatles - Revolver 4. Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East 5. 13th Floor Elevators - Bull Of The Woods

Hello, I'm DJ Gemini. Nice to meet you! A little about me: I'm from Central Pennsylvania. Whether it was always stealing my parents' vinyl as a kid and/or making some kind of vinyl/cassette trade in school (later CDs). Like most DJs, music has been a part of my life literally since birth. There was always music playing in the house and car. I also hung out at the local radio station when I could, just watching eagerly to do what they did. I'm a music lover in general and depending on the mood my taste can go from the mellowest oldie to the heaviest of heavy but I am always 100% open-minded to any genre. I also like to think I have a fun sense of humor. LOL! By the way, My show is called Totally Tubular and you can listen to me on Mondays 4 pm to 7 pm (EST) where I will bring you New Wave, punk, ska, alternative, and did I mention lots of 80's? We'll dance, laugh & reminisce through the power of music! Anything else you'd like to know or ask, hit me up in the chatroom during my show! I am seriously grateful for this opportunity and to be here!

A creeping tempo. Guitar sound that you can feel the thickness. A wall of distortion. Dissonance, despair and dread. DOOM. It started as an idea to get underground music to the masses.
