The machines are self-aware and taking over, this week on The Great Black North!! On this episode, Matt is joined by Calgary's Prog/Industrial Metallers <i><b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/divinitymetal">DIVINITY</a></b></i>! The band's guitar duo James & Sacha drop by the program to talk internet porn, why metalcore fans hate them, and how the band would like to follow in Metallica's footsteps, but would rather break up/get their asses kicked than ever release a "Some Kind Of Monster".<br />
There are some big concert announcements as well, an inspiring update on a metal news story that broke on an earlier episode of the program, and of course, some brand new tunes! Music from <i><b>GWAR</b></i>, <i><b>Behemoth</b></i>, <i><b>Destroyer 666</b></i>, and many more! <br />
Tune in and grind some gears, this week only on The Great Black North!!<br />

It's another busy week in The Great Black North and the world of Metal, which leaves us no shortage of things to talk about on this week's episode! DJ Matt Hades is back from the Mississauga Metal Madness fest with a follow-up on the night's festivities, as well as an interview with one of the performers, Hamilton Ontario's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/profaner"><b><i>Profaner</i></b></a>! Guitarist Jay and singer Frank sit down and rap about the band's business models, spiritual beliefs, and the impending release of their Northern Storm Records debut entitled "Signs Of Nine"!<br />
<br />
And, of course, on a much darker note... we also have to spend some time discussing the death of former Black Sabbath frontman and beloved Heavy Metal hero <i><b>Ronnie James Dio</b></i> (R.I.P. 1942-2010). It has been widely publicized now that Dio passed away over the weekend after a year-long battle with cancer, and left Metalheads around the world to spend the week mourning the loss of one of Metal's greatest icons. Join The Great Black North in saluting the illustrious career of Dio, in the only way fitting, with Heavy Metal Music!<br />
