If you are interested in syndicating The Asylum, below are some stats and goals of the program.
Ryan Daniels broadcast history
- As a child of 80’s and early 90’s rock & metal, Ryan has been involved in music for over 2 decades. The passion spawned around age 15 with local bands around Texas. He began his radio journey in college at KWSB (Western State College of Colorado). For the next 12 years, he has continued as an air talent and imaging guru in Active Rock & Classic Rock stations, expanding his knowledge of the artists, time relevance and radio industry.
- Ryan, creator of Horns High Media, continues as an Independent Voice Talent, Graphic Artist and Radio Producer. The newest quest is taking 3 radio shows that have been produced as podcasts and Internet radio shows to syndicated FM radio.
Asylum description and difference
- The Asylum successfully launched Nov 11, 2011. The only time for the next 100 years the date was 11.11.11!!! The Asylum joins the world wide celebration of “Metal Day”…
- Following the foundations laid by bands such as Deep Purple, Rush, Sabbath; and the sound & attitude developed by the likes of Blue Cheer, MC5 and the Who; and more in the 60's - 70’s. The Asylum focuses on the “Golden Age” or “Metal Arc” from the late 70’s to early 90’s; before the upstart of grunge, nu metal and rock artists such Peal Jam, Nirvana; Disturbed, and Rob Zombie. You will also hear more from our bands than just the top ‘hits’ of their time. After all, this is about the evolution of music.
- The Asylum could be classified similar to shows such as Dee Snider’s House of Hair, and Harlan Hendrickson’s Monsters of Rock. The Asylum difference is not to be just another Hair metal show. Our target programming focuses on more metal than hair. Core artists include Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Dio and Motorhead. Other categories include Dokken, Queensryche, UFO, GNR, Megadeth, the Cult, Pantera, Motley Crue, Ratt, Testament and more. We also throw in new/recent releases from: Saxon, Black Country Communion, Slash, Anthrax, etc.
