Growing up, my main passion for music was heavy metal. I am into my thirties now and metal still is my main musical passion. I spent hours mulling over dubbed tapes that were traded in the underground during my youth in Nova Scotia. The only way any of us had access to much of the darker side of metal back then was through finding material in Halifax records stores or through friends of friends who might live in Toronto and send down some tapes once in a while.

Sirus 27 Liquid Metal for me is a dream long come true and another great feature of the Sirius dial. I used to get angry and thump my chest in the name of free speech shouting several reasons that more metal should be heard on terrestrial radio. At the time, you would hear the best (and worst) glam metal of the 80′s and late 70′s on some stations but thats about it.

Sirius 27 also acts as a wonderful service by way of constant updating of newer talent that is producing some amazing music. During each programming day they throw in a very health dose of Classic Metal which is always a great trip down memory lane! Many times when they are about to spin a classic track I might flip out once I see the caption as to who it is. I end up in a constant state of “I remember that!”, and “Holy shit it’s been a while since I heard that!”

Jose Mangin, Scotty and all the other great on air talent at Liquid Metal keep the metal coming fast and furious. I am very happy that my favourite musical genre has a home on SiriusXM now and forever thanks to its’ popularity.
