Meet the KSYM DJs

What is your DJ and real name?

Marcus C. DeLeon; the C is for Carcus.

What's the name of your show and what time does it air?

First, I was on the Wednesday Night Metal Show, and now I'm on the infamous Thursday Night Metal Show, established 15 years ago. It starts at 11 p.m. and ends at 4 a.m.

What kind of music is played on your show?

Death, grind, gore, speed, thrash, tech, spaz, black, doom, more death, local brutes and a drip of hardcore.

What is the funniest thing that has happened while on air?

Doing a two-hour metal show with no pants!

What got you interested in radio?

I returned to school to get a teacher's certification but saw the radio/music production/music business classes and thought, "I must invest my education in my passions in music — before I start teaching the wretched little products of an undeserving society."

What underground or local band do you enjoy listening to?

Extent, an ambient-post Floydian-rock band.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

I need help! I'm trying to do everything I'm involved in by multitasking and I'm failing.

What is your favorite thing about being on air?

Being in control and playing the absolutely heaviest music you will ever hear on radio.

What has been your favorite moment so far from your show?

2009, I got to DJ metal on Thanksgiving, Jesus-mas and New Year's Eve.

What new CD will listeners hear on your show and what's so good about it?

"Are You Yelling at Me?" by Gorgoroth, a satanic black metal band. Their representation of cold and gloom are inhibited by demons that play instruments.
