STRYPER - Update On Metal Breakfast Radio Versus Glory Is Noise Simulcast Focusing On New Album
February 23, 2011, 13 years ago
Christian Rock band STRYPER's controversial decision to record songs by secular artists (BLACK SABBATH, KISS, etc.) on their new album The Covering has prompted a fierce debate between Radio Free Satan DJs David Ingram (BOLT THROWER / BENEDICTION) and Joel Gausten (PIGFACE / ELECTRIC FRANKESTEIN / EFFECTIONHATE). Now, the argument has been taken to the airwaves in the first-ever Stryper Simulcast.
Gausten has contacted BW&BK; with an update on the proceedings:
"As for the battle, it will rage on until next Monday (February 28th), when Metal Breakfast Radio posts a new episode. We're basing the 'winner' on total listenership/hits to our pages on Radio Free Satan. So far, according to our analytics, David is beating me by only four listeners, so there's still hope for Good."Ingram comments: "After just one play of Stryper's 'The Covering,' all the beer in the Metal Breakfast Radio fridge turned sour and every guitar in the studio de-tuned by an octave," describes Ingram. "Divine intervention? No...it's just a batch of bad beer, a few shoddy strings and a load of old cobblers."
"Stryper is worthy of profound respect," counters Gausten. "Three cheers to the Bros. Sweet and company for taking an unexpected direction on their latest - and, dare I say, greatest - album. The Yellow and Black Attack is back! Hail the mighty Stryper!"Those who wish to join this "ultimate battle between Good and Evil" can listen to Glory Is Noise's Stryper tribute here. The Stryper edition of Metal Breakfast Radio can be heard at this location.
Glory Is Noise is a bi-weekly show Radio Free Statan. Each episode, host Joel Gausten offers an eclectic mix of music and exclusive interviews with mainstream and underground recording artists.
Hosted by Dave Ingram and Donovan Spenceley, Metal Breakfast Radio plays new, mostly underground bands, with the hosts giving their opinion of the submitted music as they hear it for the very first time. Opinions are honest, and often scathing, but all in good humor. With occasional guests, special episodes and lots of frosty ales quaffed, Metal Breakfast Radio has been likened to Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for Metalheads.
