A top producer at Abbey Road Studios, Scott is also acknowledged as one of the five principal engineers for THE BEATLES.

The new Maxed-Out Metal Hour on Metal Express Radio airs twice every Thursday, 6am/12noon PST and 9am/3pm EST.

Hellion lead guitarist and solo artist Maxxxwell Carlisle has partnered with Metal Express Radio to launch a weekly radio program dedicated to the best of Power Metal, True Metal, Shred and Metal classics. Entitled “The Maxed-Out Metal Hour with Maxxxwell Carlisle”, the program will air twice every Thursday, starting September 10th, 2015.

The launch of the new program will coincide with Metal Express Radio’s new website.
“I did a couple of guest DJ appearances over the past year and really enjoyed it. It was a blast for me and also seemed to go over really well with the listeners. I’m totally excited to host this show. I get to dig up all my favorite metal tracks and also feature some bands that I feel aren’t getting the recognition that they deserve. It’s a win-win for all metalheads!”

In addition to the hosting the new show, Maxxxwell continues to record and tour with Hellion, and work on his forthcoming solo album “When The Clock Strikes Metal”.
