Recap by The Metal Wulf

Where Hope Resides joined us in the studio this week for an interview, and everything went pretty smoothly, considering they're pretty young (they range in age from 16-20) and it was also their very first interview. All told, I think they handled themselves very well, and should we have them back some night, I'm sure it will be that much easier next time!

In all honesty, it was a relatively calm evening until Azkath once again brought up that insane money-making idea of Dave and I eating cake off of each other.

I don't remember much, really, there was another of those black-out moments after I confessed to genuinely liking cake...and things got a little blurry after that...

Funny thing is, after I recovered my senses, I found a fuzzy pink pig attached to my hand, and it was assuring everybody that I was okay. The pig, (now known as Renaldo...), ended up enduring one of the most horrible beatdowns that a toy has ever suffered on the show.

Seems that Azkath doesn't like puppets. Go figure...

Sigh...

Poor, poor Renaldo...

Recap by The Metal Wulf

We get on some strange discussions sometimes, and Friday night was chock full of them.

Somehow we got on the topic of Ed Sullivan, which led to a further discussion of Futurama and whether or not Ed's head had been preserved on the show. I mean, obviously Richard Nixon's head has been featured abundantly, but not so sure about Ed...

Of course, me being the old-school Dungeons And Dragons geek that I am (and I'm not talking about that God-awful 80's cartoon series, I'm talking the actualy Role Playing Game...), I proudly mentioned that Gary Gygax had been featured at one point.

But then, I was the only member of the Onslaught who knew who Gary Gygax was...sigh...

From there, Josh asked if Tom Baker (Dr. Who, circa 70's-80's) had ever been featured, and I'll be damned if I know...kinda boggles the mind, really...

And that wasn't the end of the cartoon discussions.

Can't remember what it was I was laughing so hard at, but I started snorting into the mic, and Joe mentioned that at least I didn't snarf into the mic.

For those unfamiliar with the term, "snarfing" is Onslaught slang for laughing so hard that you pass things through your nose, usually liquids, and sometimes at an increased velocity, resulting in the spraying of people in front of you...

Of course, Snarf was also a character on Thundercats, which is what brought the conversation to cartoons.

Somehow Thundercats led to Voltron, which I mentioned that I was never personally wild about, as I had always thought Battle Of The Planets was better. Joe seemed highly disappointed in my lack of love for Voltron, but what can I say, I just couldn't get into it.

I will say this, Voltron beat the piss out of a certain live-action rip-off of it that came along in the 90's. God, I fucking HATED Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers...ewwwwww..

I think it was Josh who brought up Thunderbirds, an old 70's children't sci-fi program that featured marionettes, and was actually way too creepy for a lot of younger kids to watch. I know I couldn't hack it...

Gotta say, it's discussions such as these that pretty much cement the fact that we are all hopeless DORKS!!! And, really, that's okay. Most true metalheads are, I've come to find out.

So, Azkath was on hand again. Seems that Jeffie somehow got diverted last week. He had been sent to visit Joe, who was vacationing in Lake George, but he somehow ended up in Louisiana. One can only imagine what kind of weird stuff he's gonna be spewing whenever he returns...if he returns...

Azkath seems to have an idea for me to make some serious cash, but it would have to include Dave from the Last Exit. It's been made known to me, fairly recently, that Dave and I actually share a...unique...fan base.

Yeah, let's just leave it at that...

Anyhoo, this...fan base...would most likely find it highly entertaining for Dave and I to strip down into our underwear and wrestle in cake...eating the cake off of each other.

Azkath assures me that this wouldn't be considered gay, as there would be no actual sex. Now, I can honestly say that this doesn't even sound remotely fun to me, I don't care how entertaining it would be to a certain percentage of the male population. I mean, positive feedback is good, and I appreciate the support, but...I'm just not goin' out of my way to encourage it, ya know what I mean?

Especially when Azkath mentioned that adding Josh to the mix would be like adding meat to a cake sandwich...

Not for all money in the world, o Demon...Moving on to a fun topic, and one that I'm really excited about, we briefly discussed Azkath's next indie film, "Necro Zombies From Beyond Space". Now, he's been working on this movie for awhile, and we had all hoped to have helped him finish it last year, but it just didn't work out. However, things have actually fallen into place nicely over the past few months, and the project is very close to being completed!

Not gonna ruin the story for you, but I will say that if you follow either The Metallic Onslaught or The Last Exit For The Lost, you won't be overly surprised by some of the humor, and you'll see plenty of familiar faces from both shows, as well as some local musical talent in various roles.

It's been a lot of fun taking part in this thing, and I can't wait to see the finished product! I'm sure we'll have more to say on the subject as it gets nearer to completion!

Jesus Christ, the damned month's over! Where the hell does the time go? Damn, I'm gettin' old...

So, Joe was enjoying some vacation time this week, leaving Rick in charge. Meaning, of course, that Murphy's Law was going to take full advantage of us. Yep, if something could have gone wrong, it seemed to be doing just that, and all with a band in the studio!

But, we muscled on through, got things sorted out, and eventually we were able to just kick back and enjoy playing some kick-ass music .Nope, not a perfect show, but then, hey, I kinda think perfection is sorely over-rated sometimes...

Stygian joined us in the studio with a very cool selection of demo tracks.

Crazy how things come together in just a matter of a few months. Back in May, the members of Stygian were without a vocalist, and it had been stated that they'd be hoping to find one at Finger Lakes Metal Fest. And, as it turned out, it was there that HorseFace bassist/vocalist Jesse Halstead had been approached about being the new singer for Stygian.

Now, anybody who's heard Jesse sing can tell you that this choice was a no-brainer. The guy has an incredible voice, and an extremely impressive range. His style is more than suitable for Stygian's sound, and I for one am really excited to see where all this is going to lead in the coming months.Check 'em out!

No Jeffie this week, but Ken Smith (who's joined us here and on The Last Exit on more than one occasion) had joined us, bearing a gift of warm, steamy, and oh so tasty venison tenderloin. Damn, that was some good stuff.

Yep, the Metallic Onslaught, the only radio show in the area where we will fully admit that we're eating ROADKILL DEER!

It's all good, not like it was a gory, squishy roadkill. I understand that the corpse was highly intact when it was found in Rick's driveway, and it was fully capable of consumption.

Mmmmmmm...

Azkath was on hand, and for some reason I had a couple of blackout moments. I even ended up having a repeat of a moment I had on the Last Exit where I could have sworn there was a gorgeous redhead in the studio. On both occasions I wasted no time offering to give her a back massage, only to discover it was actually...Ken...

Ummmm...I don't wanna think about that anymore...

And, from there, I apparently flipped out again when there was some mention of eight owls and dead hawks.

Ive gotten the impression that my little "moments" are actually getting worse. Scary, especially knowing that I have absolutely no recollection of my behavior. I mean, with Halloween approaching, who knows what else could possibly go wrong?

I should also mention that, according to Azkath, Jeffie had been sent off to Lake George to visit Joe. Bear in mind that Joe was on vacation at this time, and was probably not very receptive to a visit from ANY of us. I'm pretty sure we'll be feeling the repercussions from this on our next show...

Recap by The Metal Wulf

So, last week's show ended with Joe in complete ecstasy after a Jeffie massage. Seriously, from where I was sitting, it sounded like one of those Happy Ending moments. Hell, even Rick said it sounded like there was some Man-Love goin' on! And Joe DID seem a little evasive regarding the topic...

And this week, it was Josh's turn! Yep, somebody made the observation that Josh had sounded like he'd made pudding in his pants following a Jeffie massage. I'd never seen Josh so relaxed in my life!

Okay, while I'm at it, I may as well tackle this topic.

Seriously, we may have actually found a use for Jeffie. I think he'd make a great masseuse for the Metallic Onslaught. No bullshit, the guy has got some amazing skills when it comes to back massaging. The trouble is, he tries to wander away from the back, and tries to focus on places that don't require that kind of attention.

I'm thinking if we keep the guy focused, he'll do just fine!

There was further discussion involving the Lyons Zombie Walk on October 20. I'm really looking forward to taking part in this, to be perfectly honest. However, I can personally assure everybody that I will NOT be incorporating a Zombie-kini in my costume scheme, and definitely not a a Zombie Banana Hammock. I'm pretty confident that I'll be fully clothed, if not a little tattered and bloody and pale...which is kind of the general idea...

For those interested, there's a $5.00 admission fee if you donate two cans of food, otherwise you can take part for $10.00. This is going to be a great time, and I'd love to see a huge turnout for this!

Music-related topics centered on Steve Harris' (Iron Maiden) solo album, British Lion. In a nutshell...I'm actually kinda sorry to say that most of us are pretty underwhelmed. Not to say that it's terrible musically, but I think we all agreed that a better vocalist could have been acquired. I mean, how do you go from recording with Bruce Dickinson to...that...

Yep, just wasn't feelin' it...

And then there's Between The Buried And Me, who I just can't seem to fully embrace. Trust me, I fully respect them as musicians, but I just can't listen to them for long without wanting to tear my brain out...

One of the stranger moments of the evening came when Jeffie wanted to know where Frank was. I have no earthly idea who this Frank is, but apparently he's a little guy that is supposed to live under my left man-boob.

Trust me, there's nothing under there that shouldn't be there...I assure you...

A discussion of Jeffie's body odor resulted in both Josh and I getting Pit Stops (think WWF, Nasty Boys...), which is an experience I fully could have done without. Really would rather not experience that anytime soon.

And then there was a comment made about walking on the sun. Apparently Jeffie feels that if we've been on the moon, maybe we should attempt to try the sun next. He even seems confident that if we did it at night, nobody would burn up.

Yeah, you go right on ahead and test that theory, Jeffie old boy...good luck with that...
