The Heavy Metal Sewïng Cïrcle explores the liminalities between classic rock and classic metal. From heavy 60s acts like Vanilla Fudge and Cream to 70s proto-metal pioneers like Rainbow, Sabbath, Priest and Scorpions, no stone is left unturned--unless it doesn't deserve to be.

The vision here is to play the songs that SHOULD have been radio hits, with no attention paid to what money changed hands or what Clear Channel deemed appropriate. We all know that there's a lot more to Sabbath than "Iron Man" "Paranoid" and "War Pigs." So why are those the only songs that FM radio ever plays? Why spin "Breakin the Law" ad nauseum when Judas Priest wrote so many albums full of classics?

Get ready for a great listening experience where you are sure to discover a multitude of songs that belong in the classic canon but somehow got overlooked or under promoted. Get ready for the Heavy Metal Sewïng Cïrcle with your host --internationally acclaimed musician, critic, and metal dignitary Dj Nate C.

But, we know this platform exists because of the people who give their time or money to make sure it stays on the air. At XRAY, there’s no endowment, no property, no angel donors to lean on. We’re on the air right now because people like you sustain our work year-round.

Without you, there is no XRAY. And without you, conscious community media might not exist. We’ve learned over the years from our peers across the country that a lot of people can be listening, but that doesn’t make the radio run unless a significant portion of those listeners pitch in to make the thing run.

Make sure XRAY continues to be a constant in your life. Not all of us can give, but for those of us who can spare $15 a month for a cultural institution—you’re doing your community a favor. Invest in your community today—and the people who make it—support independent media like XRAY.
