About CiTR -- Powerchord

Originally conceived by veteran heshers "Metal" Ron and Gerald "Rattlehead" in 1985, Powerchord is Vancouver's longest running metal show! And the torch is still burning with contemporary hosts Coleman, Serena, Chris, Justin, and Ian, covering all sub-genres across the harsh landscape of heavy metal. New releases, local bands, the obscure, the classic, and everything in-between. Two hours of absolute brutality every Saturday from 1-3pm.

   Welcome to Hell

   In tribute to the fallen God Cronos, Ferris plays through Venom's debut full length - Welcome to Hell. Hype offered to the very first live show of new Vancouver act Aphotic Void and the show they played that evening with Erosion, Waingro, and The Nausea. Rounded out with a couple slabs just acquired from the great Matterhorn Records. RIP, Mr. Lant
