This Week’s Guest DJ: FIFTH ANGEL

This week’s encore Guest DJ Show is hosted by Fifth Angel’s Kendall Bechtel (guitar/vocal) and Jeffrey McCormack (drums)

Fifth Angel was formed in the suburbs of Seattle in 1983, specifically, in the Bellevue area. Shrapnel Records signed them in 1985 and financed the recording of  the self titled album that eventually appeared in 1986.

In 1989, the follow-up record, Time Will Tell appeared, but the band had lost its label support, with its members going their separate ways by 1990.

Although many rumors cropped up in the 2000s about a reunion, it finally happened in 2009. Ed Archer, John Macko and Kendall Bechtel were joined by drummer Jeffrey McCormack and in 2010, the band played its first live show in its history at the Keep it True Festival, with guest singer Peter Orullian (ex-Heir Apparent).

McCormack left the group in 2011, along with announced lead singer David Fefolt The group has been rumored to be demoing new material, but so far nothing has come of it.

The guys will introduce an excellent playlist followed by a selection of Fifth Angel tracks!

Tune in at 15:00 and 21:00 CET/ 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST this Friday to hear the show!

    Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
