Crank it up and get ready to shred!
Every Friday from 4 to 6 PM, join Kelly Thomas for Gnarly Metal, a live radio show that hits the airwaves with the hardest rock and heaviest metal that ruled the 80's - with face melting guitar riffs, screaming solos, thunderous drums and all the monster hits and arena-shaking anthems that caused blown speakers and melted cassette decks everywhere!
If it rocked the Decade Of Decadence, we’re cranking it to eleven! Gnarly Metal is a celebration of the culture, the carefree attitude and the good times that defined a generation of headbangers.
No trends, no compromises—just pure, high-voltage rock and metal the way it was meant to be heard - heavy and loud!
Turn it up. Lock it in.
