Are you fed up with "mainstream radio"? Tired of being force-fed the same overplayed glorified excrement that's being passed off as music these days? Well, imagine a station that will actually play your requests for metal and progressive rock bands that you never hear on your regular FM station, and a place where you can actually interact with the DJ's on a HUMAN level. Guess what - you've found it!

Dementia Radio is a station like no other - our musical focus is largely on great musicians that never get enough credit for their amazing work, many of whom have been ignored by todays money-hungry fad machine. Whether you're looking for progressive rock, prog metal, or power metal, you'll find it here as we mix that progressive element in with a staple diet of some of the greatest heavy metal, hair bands, and classic rock of all time along with some twisted humor to formulate our own Demented brand of radio.
