First show of the new year, well technically the second, but you know what I mean, the first regular show. The new tunes haven't been pouring in yet for '23, but have the latest Metallica, Zeal & Ardor, Katatonia, Currents, Obituary, Exhumed, plus Texas Made Metal from Ungrieved and Deocculted. Tune in and destroy.

NO CONTROL Radio Replay 1/7/23

Having the ability to jam metal on the airwaves gives me so much pleasure, I can't even describe how much we need to keep this noise in our ears. Channel the anger, the power, the tumultuous nature of our current world into something to enjoy, metal! New tunes this episode from Employed to Serve, Spiritbox, Memphis May Fire, old school stuff from Slayer, Maiden and Meshuggah to help sooth your soul. 

Midnight Metal 3/20/25

We round out the week with a decent display of depravity. We celebrate 20 years of metal radio this year by still bringing you the best I can find, new tunes from Rivers of Nihil, Sunrot, Fallujah, plus raging classics from Carcass, Down and Black Dahlia Murder. Spread the word, could use the ego boost damnit 

Midnight Metal 3/21/25

Making the best efforts to bring the latest and greatest metal stuff to you guys, I am always open to new stuff, be sure to let me know in the comments if you have a band I miss...your tips are greatly appreciated! This episode, new stuff from Ingested, Warbringer, Bloodywood, plus oldies from Morbid Angel, Sabbath, and Mastodon, enjoy!

Midnight Metal 3/25/25

Hard to believe we're almost at the end of March, Austin has some good metal tours stopping in April, check the calendar at nocontrolradio.com for some details, and of course listen and I'll give some info! This episode, new stuff from Disembodied Tyrant, Malevolence, Ghost, Spiritbox, classics from Fu Manchu, Hatebreed and Megadeth, rock out! 

Midnight Metal 3/26/25

I have been doing a battery of medical testing, and to my surprise, I am kind of healthy. Yeah I need to work out, but damn my hearing is getting shredded. Casualty of the loud ass music, but my frequency of live shows has gone down by comparison to the pre-pandemic days. Good shows coming up, check that calendar at nocontrolradio.com, and listen to my jamz! New tunes from Behemoth, Dying Wish, Sunrot, Fallujah, old stuff from Anaal Nathrakh, Anthrax, High on Fire and loads more! 

Midnight Metal 3/27/25

Finishing out the month strong, we'll have some brand new stuff next week, but this episode new tunes from Ghost Bath, Architects, Memphis May Fire, Daath, old stuff from Gwar, Whitechapel, Amon Amarth and loooots more...enjoy! 

Midnight Metal 3/28/25

We are in the throws of Spring time and that means...allergies. Well, for me personally, but it also means we have some sweet ass tours coming up in April, so check the calendar at nocontrolradio.com for details on local shows! This episode, new tunes from Nightfall, The Haunted, Employed to Serve, Hate, plus classics from Clutch, Trap Them, Psycroptic and loads more! 

Midnight Metal 3/31/25

Another episode in the books, rolling on some new music from Rivers of Nihil, Revocation, Pelican, Poison the Well, plus classics from Converge, BFMV, Celtic Frost and loads more. I'd try to give some funny anecdote, or whatever, but don't have the bandwidth today...it's a day, turn it up and enjoy! 

Midnight Metal 4/2/25

My apologies, I use some background computer sh-t to record my show to make it 'easier' to post and that stuff has been crapping out on me. There might be some skips in this one, but it's mostly intact! Enjoy new tunes from Poison the Well, Nitghtfall, The Haunted, Alien Weaponry, plus classics from Cattle Decap, Carcass, TDWP and more! 

Midnight Metal 4/8/25

I am so not getting confident that I have conquered the recording problem, but we have a couple shows in a row this week! Hooray! Plus, if you didn't notice, your friendly neighborhood metal guru is hosting nightly from 6p-1a (with the Metal nightcap) for the short term, we'll see. This episode new tunes from Kardashev, Employed to Serve, Malevolence, Hate, classic Meshuggah, Clutch and more! 

Midnight Metal 4/15/25

Apologies for missing a couple replays, it's been a week. Skipping audio recordings and blah blah, whatever, excuses. Here is last night's episode, new tunes from Mawiza, Rivers of Nihil, Bloodywood, classic Deicide, Slayer, Anthrax and more!

Midnight Metal 4/17/25

So in order to align myself and our genre correctly this Easter weekend, I had to choose from appropriate library of vile and sacrilegious metal. Slayer, Vital Remains, Ghost, while also keeping with the usual new metal from Dying Wish, Fallujah, Pelican, Deafheaven and loads more.  

Midnight Metal 4/18/25

Getting used to the new schedule, slowly. Still feels weird capping the show with metal rather than kicking things off that way. It might sound a little 'end of shift' versus the energy of the kick off, but either way, bad ass new tunes from Rivers of Nihil, Byzantine, Cryptopsy, LIK, classics from A7X, Morbid Angel, Dying Fetus and more! Enjoy!

Midnight Metal 4/22/25

I'm having to do things a little differently with the new schedule, but getting some bangers in right now. Mostly singles, but so excellent new tunes from Caliban, Employed to Serve, Fallujah, grammy winner Gojira, classic Mastodon and Carcass, just a nice well-rounded episode tonight! 

Midnight Metal 4/23/25

Sometimes the mixture of metal just works, and other times it is like multiple train wrecks in one single hour of radio. You can decide for yourself if Suicidal Tendencies fits with Bolt Thrower, or Crowbar and Ghost Bath create dissonance that is acceptable in this episode. It depends on the mood honestly, but i'm good with it...I think.   

Midnight Metal 4/24/25

So the day job here at the studio has me chasing down rodents while trying to keep our studios running and stuff, but I still have time to bring the new jams and prep a decent episode, every. damn. night. New tunes from Slaughter to Prevail, Behemoth, Epica, Mawiza, vault tunes from Judas Priest, System of a Down, Clutch and loads more! Crank it up! 

Midnight Metal 4/28/25

Last show of April, good stuff in the mix tonight, new music from Calva Louise, Kardashev, Dying Wish, classic Trivium, Sepultura, Unearth, Meshuggah and loads more! 

Midnight Metal 4/30/25

We start off May with some storms in the area, rumbles of thunder and the roar of wicked metal on the radio. New tunes from Igorrr, Employed to Serve, The Haunted, Katatonia, plus classics from Ghost, Black Dahlia Murder, COC, JFAC and a plethora of jams. 

Midnight Metal 5/1/25

Make sure you are following us on all the socials and stuff @nocontrolradio on insta, @MidnightMetalKLBJ on FB and so on. It helps especially when I get some good reels that give me surprise info like my Texas Made tack on this episode from Scream Therapy. Plus new stuff from Impureza, The Callous Daoboys, Ghost bath, plus old school Deicide, Kataklysm, Sabbath and lots more! 

Midnight Metal 5/15/25

If you are gonna end the week, why not do it strongly...or something. Good episode tonight, got a few bangers for requests, Dimmu Borgir, Deftones, plus an ass-load of new tracks from Slaughter to Prevail, Conan, Born of Osiris and a looooot more...

Midnight Metal 5/16/25

Finally getting on track with some live show tickets again, you gotta listen live to pick em up, but still get you on the ready for tickets to Lorna Shore this week, plus their new track, new stuff from Behemoth, Landmvrks, Heaven Shall Burn, classic Refused, Napalm Death, Dillinger Escape Plan, Toxic Holocaust and much more this episode. 

Midnight Metal 5/19/25

From time to time, I just pick all the stuff I want to hear for an episode, I know I am functioning as a really slow algorithm to choose the next piece of music that fits, but my personal taste gets weird. Obviously, new music is what is in my face atm, but the rest, well, that's me a lot of the time. New music from Fallujah, Mawiza, Parkway Drive, Signs of the Swarm, and my picks from Zeal & Ardor, Protest the Hero, Sepultura and much, much more this episode!  

Midnight Metal 5/21/25

Attempting to rev up for the three day weekend, it honestly just gives more space to get life work done, mowing, cleaning, and so on. Line up a bad ass soundtrack, queue up the replay while your out and about, this episode new stuff from Cryptopsy, LIK, Fallujah, Slaughter to Prevail, plus classic Slayer, Lamb of God, Death, COC and more!

Midnight Metal 5/22/25

More of the metals. Just loaded a bunch from the holiday weekend and getting back in to the swing of things! Enjoy!

Midnight Metal 5/26/25

Starting to get into the week finally. A short week makes for a weird set of days, but we are leaning in to the metal every night, hopefully you listen live, and of course, listen to 24/7 metal nocontrolradio.com. New music this episode Mawiza, Fox lake, Rivers of Nihil, plus classics from Iron Maiden, Cradle of Filth, Dying fetus and more! 

Midnight Metal 5/27/25

Storms blew through last night, but we were still ready to roll on the metal. Thunder, lightning, hail and wind, brutal Spring weather with a metal soundtrack seems appropriate. New tunes from Fit For a King, Slaughter to Prevail, Employed to Serve, plus old skool Mercyful Fate, High on Fire, Baroness, an loads more. 

Midnight Metal 5/28/25

New music this episode from Born of Osiris, Abigail Williams, Impureza, plus favorites from Nuclear Assault, Crowbar, System of a Down, Soulfly and more. The rainy week has been kinda dreary, but needed in these parts. It's feels right to have lightning and thunder raging with the headphones on listening to metal...my happy place. 

Midnight Metal 5/29/25

The first show of June, getting warmed up for the Summer. The new music slows a bit, but still have some good singles coming. This episode, new music from Psycroptic, Rivers of Nihil, Mawiza, Wolves at the Gate, plus bangin classics Down, Faith No More, Down, Dethklok and more!

Midnight Metal 6/2/25

I am getting prepped for an actual vacation next week, but trying to get all the new music in place to set up fresh shows all week while I am out. No matter what, I'll get you the latest a greatest music, like new tunes from Conan, Byzantine, Fit for a King, Vader, plus classic Lamb of God, Carcass and Motorhead.

This episode, new tunes from Lorna Shore, DeadGuy, Pupil Slicer, The Callous Daoboys, plus old skool Norma Jean, Clutch, Weedeater and more!

Midnight Metal 6/4/25

Almost slacked off so much I forgot to post last nights show. I am telegraphing my vacay already. New shows on the air next week, maybe I'll bundle them for you or something. I'm out! 

Midnight Metal 6/5/25

New stuff this episode from Vestige, Orbit Culture, Deadguy, Born of Osiris, plus classics from Anthrax, Veil of Maya, Acid Bath and loads more!
