#293 METALLICA Death Magnetic Album Review

Mar 27 2025 84 mins

“If this is their 9th studio album, where does it rank?” DEATH MAGNETIC, the Rick Rubin produced 9th studio album from Bay Area metal titans METALLICA (and the first studio album featuring Robert Trujillo on bass) is chock full of riffs, tons of ugly chords, a boatload of guitar solos, and loads of twin guitar harmonies that harken back to the thrash metal veterans legendary 8

#292 1995 Year in METAL

Mar 20 2025 62 mins

In 1995, Los del Rio infected popular dance culture with their one-hit wonder, “The Macarena”, the U.S. national debt was only $5,000,000,000,000 (five trillion), both eBay and Craigslist were birthed into popular culture, Taco Bell offered The Volcano Burrito and The Double Decker Taco menu items for a limited time (each for less than $1.00, btw), and O.J. Simpson was acquitte

#291 PENTAGRAM Lightning In A Bottle Album Dive

Mar 13 2025 78 mins

After 50 years, it’s great to see PENTAGRAM finally getting the attention they deserve from all across the world wide web. LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE, the band’s latest offering and their first album in nearly a decade, arrived on the scene mere weeks before a video surfaced that went viral, showing founding member and frontman Bobby Liebling (wide-eyed and seemingly possessed) powe

#290 DARK ANGEL - Inside The Metal

Mar 06 2025 88 mins

Formed in 1981 and hailing from Downey, California (the birthplace of the mighty Hetfield), thrash masters DARK ANGEL unleashed a darker, faster, more aggressive sounding brand of thrash, with a sound initially reminiscent of the death metal aesthetic present in Slayer’s early work and later evolving into a more progressive, technical thrash sound resembling the latter part of De

#289 PRIMUS - SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE Album Review

Feb 27 2025 79 mins

SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE, the 2nd beautifully bizarre edition of “the Sunday funny papers of metal”, brought to you by El Sobrante, California’s genius weirdo trio, PRIMUS, is the gold standard of the eccentric sound of “boxless” progressive, funk metal overtones filtered through a heroic dose of psychedelic infused absurdity and combined with an ample sized bowl of sur

#288 SLIPKNOT Album Review

Feb 20 2025 81 mins

“Don’t make it weird…” “They all wear jumpsuits, they’re kinda like KISS because you don’t know what they look like, but they kinda look like serial killers because they all have masks on, and you kinda get Purge vibes when you look at it (the album cover), and then you LISTEN to it…” SLIPKNOT as a band is extremely off-putting, exhausting, and quite frankly,

#287 WTF Moments in METAL

Feb 13 2025 80 mins

As with life, “Left Turns” and WTF MOMENTS occur constantly in the world of metal. Whether it’s a radical, stylistic change to a band’s sound, any sort of unforeseen tragedy, or “Ozzy just being Ozzy” in the presence of winged, flying creatures, there is certainly no shortage of WTF MOMENTS lurking around every corner throughout the metal community. It’s time to fin

#286 FLOTSAM & JETSAM - DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER Album Review

Feb 06 2025 80 mins

DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER, the debut album from FLOTSAM & JETSAM, was released on July 4, 1986, after being recorded in just a mere 2 weeks with a paltry $12,000 budget. In short, it is a bona fide, legendary, thrash masterpiece. And if you’re reading this and thinking “Okay, FLOTSAM & JETSAM…why does that sound familiar?”, the reason is because the bass player for

#285 Women In Metal

Jan 30 2025 72 mins

For the longest time, metal has been predominantly a “dude game”, dominated by men. Thankfully, more and more female fronted metal bands (particularly over the last couple of decades) have been expanding their presence and growing into a formidable force throughout the metal community, covering a variety of styles and a multitude of subgenres from all across the metal spectrum.

#284 - Part 2 - Deep Cuts of the First Four from The Big Four

Jan 23 2025 74 mins

We’re back with the backside of the ballsack of the taint of the boner of the top of the ass crack of the...WHATEVER you want to call it, now we’re up to “the meat” of THE BACKSIDE OF THE FIRST FOUR OF THE BIG FOUR. And if you have zero attention span, then you’re probably not even reading this anyway, so just tip-toe back over to Tik Tok and enjoy the rest of your life i
