On today's Metal Meltdown from 5-7pm Eastern and 23:00-01:00 CET, Dr. Metal will be joined in-studio by members of Sabaton. They'll join me for the middle of the show, and we'll talk about their current North American tour, forthcoming release, Heroes, and everything else.

Also happening today is the annual telethon show where we'll raise money for WRUW-FM  91.1 Cleveland, the station which has hosted the Metal Meltdown since 1999. It is a non-commercial, non-profit station which relies on listener support for half of its operating budget. We have some great thank-you gifts, so tune in to the show and keep an eye on our Facebook page - @metalmeltdownshow for more information.

The show will be on live at WRUW.ORG today.

Big show for you guys today! Join me at wruw.org from 5-7pm Eastern, 23:00-01:00 CET.
