“For the last year I’ve been waiting to unleash a metal show on Rock 101 KUFO,” commented KUFO Operations Manager Chris Patyk. “All I needed was someone with the cred, the passion and, of course, the hair. Ivan has all of that and more … he’s the man!”
Said de Prume, “Oh yeah, here we go, nothing will stop us now, true heavy metal dominating the major airwaves on Saturday nights! We have a ground-breaking, powerful show that will be playing the greatest and heaviest of metal that will shake the very foundation of the entire Pacific Northwest. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the ride!”
Do you want your song to be played on the show? AWESOME! Here is how...
The song simply has to be good music that would fit somewhere in the category of heavy metal ... The songs must be in acceptable recording quality. No noisy boombox tapes! You get it!
Submit up to four mp3 to the link drop box below. Only submit each song once... If it doesn't get played and you feel it really should be played you can resend it but only after several months please... Once I get it, I will give it a listen and if it grabs me in some way I will try to add it to the playlist and I will email you. If it doesn't grab me, I will pass on it and you may not be notified... sorry... please don't take it personally or anything. My time is very limited and I can be very picky.
Metalopolis which is on Rock101 KUFO is the largest metal radio show in the entire Pacific North West and is owned by CBS Radio...
PLEASE INCLUDE QUALITY MP3, BAND INFORMATION SUCH AS BIO, PHOTO, CONTACT INFO AND WHATEVER YOU HAVE THAT YOU MAY WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT ON THE AIR...

The show focuses on both existing and emerging bands covering the gamut from black metal to noise metal, power metal to mainstream metal, thrash metal to death metal … basically if it’s metal it will find a home on Metalopolis.
Ivan started his career as a professional drummer when he was still in high school in New York playing with noise/metal band White Zombie.
Ivan recorded and toured with White Zombie for seven years, releasing three full length albums (Soul-Crusher, Make Them Die Slowly, and La Sexorcisto), and three EP’s (Pig Heaven, Psycho-Head Blowout and God of Thunder). In the subsequent years since White Zombie disbanded, a Greatest Hits CD (Past, Present and Future) and a CD/DVD combo (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie) featuring almost every song the band ever recorded has also been released and feature Ivan’s heavy hitting style. La Sexorcisto was nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance and is a multi-platinum selling album. Ivan expanded his musical skills after White Zombie to include other styles of music, including world percussion, and began producing and engineering projects in his studio, Burningsound. He has worked with many artists including L7, Prong, and Jack off Jill and can be heard on the soundtrack for Sony’s Ghost Rider.
Ivan’s love of metal and world percussion led him to start a band that incorporated both and Healer was born. Middle-eastern melodies and edgy riffs are combined, creating a listening experience that is rich in quality and beautiful in sound.
Ivan is multi-faceted and likes working on a variety of projects. As he continues his music with Healer, he has also begun using his studio in a virtual setting. Recording drums and percussion for projects from all over the world as well as mixing and producing virtually are just some of the things keeping Ivan busy. He is also a member of Las Vegas based metal band, KREEP, who recently played for a sold out audience at The Joint in the world famous Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas. KREEP is currently recording a full length album in Ivan's studio, Burningsound.
