#196 KLASH OF THE TITANS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR -...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/05/25

“It was everything I loved about my teen years…” The 2023 KLASH OF THE TITANS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR (featuring SpiritWorld, Death Angel, Sepultura, and Kreator) which recently graced the stage at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia is easily one of THE most perfect thrash shows we’ve ever experienced. It was “100% bone across the board” and that rating applies to EVERYTHING: the venue, the merch, the bars, the bathrooms, the sound system, the lead-up music, and (without question) the line-up,

#195 MESHUGGAH - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/05/18

“They’ve got HUGE djunts!” MESHUGGAH, the Nordic Godfathers of Djent (“Djunt”) hailing from Umea, Sweden, sound like the logical evolution of extreme metal to emerge out of the early 90’s thrash scene. Tempered with their own surgically precise, ferociously complex, polyrhythmic brand of math metal genius, MESHUGGAH have carved out their own unique place in metal by blending their unmistakable signature style with all the best elements of thrash metal, death metal, and extremely technical,

#194 JUST TALKIN’ SHIT-TAH - Vol. III

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/05/11

“Everything’s LITERALLY ‘literally’…” It’s time to blow out the lines again, which means anything goes! And by “anything” we LITERALLY mean anything, including possibly the worst Aussie accent ever attempted. For the record, we humbly apologize (in advance) to our Australian and/or New Zealand listeners (and/or bolth) as well as the good people of “Old Zealand” where the accent (and climate) is completely different AND gum chewing is something of an obsession. It’s time to get in your “Trans Am

#193 INSIDE THE METAL - SYSTEM OF A DOWN

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/05/04

SYSTEM OF A DOWN, the Glendale, California quartet who dominated the “Alt + Nu” metal landscape from 1998 to 2005 before going on hiatus, are one of the most uniquely incomparable & original bands of the early 2000s. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, S.O.A.D. are the heavy metal equivalent of “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”, a musical force beyond classification or genre. The only thing that is absolutely certain about SYSTEM OF A DOWN is that no other band in metal sounds anything

#192 AC/DC POWERAGE Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/04/27

AC/DC’s 1978 banger, POWERAGE (pronounced like voltage, amperage, and sausage; NOT like volt-AGE, amper-AGE, or saus-AGE) is undoubtedly one of “the most 1978 sounding” albums that has ever been released in rock and metal. And after giving it a listen, you’ll undoubtedly agree. It’s the first album to feature Cliff Williams on bass, the first album to not have a title track and (perhaps most importantly) it’s the favorite AC/DC album of both Keith Richards and Edward Van Halen. Relative to the

#191 Stoner Metal Vol. VI - 420 SUPER SPECIAL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/04/20

For anyone out there who identifies as a “cannabis person” on any level, even if that means just being a fan of STONER METAL, then we cordially invite you to our 420 SUPER SPECIAL to partake of a small sampling of the myriad of stoner metal strains which are available to you. There’s some 70’s style stoner metal, some actual 1970’s stoner metal, some stoner metal that’s tuned down so low the strings are “flappin in the breeze”, and there’s even what some might refer to as stoner thrash metal.

#190 METALLICA KILL’EM ALL Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/04/13

July 25, 1983: the day that changed heavy metal forever. There are certain turning points in heavy metal that simply cannot be denied. KILL ‘EM ALL, the debut album from the mighty METALLICA, is without question the first shot fired in the sonic revolution of heavy metal that would ultimately come to be known as the point of origin for thrash metal. Heavier, faster, and more aggressive than anything else at the time, the release of KILL ‘EM ALL completely changed the game. It's time to prepare for

#189 Building the Perfect LOAD - METALLICA

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/04/06

After touring a crapload for The Black Album and effectively unloading their classic thrash sound from the 80’s, METALLICA released LOAD in June of 1996 and RELOAD in November of 1997 (same sessions, different loads). The original intent was for “The Loads” to be released as a double album (aka “One Massive Load”), but since there was concern that so much new material released at once might be “too much to swallow”, potentially overloading fans, LOAD & RELOAD were released separately as two

#188 Iron Maiden POWERSLAVE Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/03/30

IRON MAIDEN’s 3rd release with Bruce Dickinson (and 5th release overall), POWERSLAVE, might very well have been the most progressive heavy metal album of 1984. In fact, it is easily the most progressive metal album of the early Dickinson era, with ½ the songs from this album being included on their 1985 “World Slavery Tour” concert souvenir, Live After Death. It's time to find “the emergency lane before the off ramp” and discover which “really weird question” might be “good for you!” and prompt

2023/03/23

“If you let it go long enough, it’ll get there eventually…” Since this episode is focused on SLAYER COVERS, we decided to reference: covers OF other artists as performed BY Slayer As well as… covers OF Slayer as performed BY other artists. That way, it’s understood that “SLAYER COVERS” refers to bolth scenarios above. To paraphrase a Van Halen reference, it’s literally the best of bolth worlds.

#186 - SLAYER Divine Intervention Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/03/16

In a way, you might say that DIVINE INTERVENTION, the 6th album from SLAYER (and the first with former Forbidden skins man Paul Bostaph behind the drumkit) was their moment of resurrection. By the early 90’s, much of the pre-existing thrash landscape from the 80’s had either completely disappeared or radically transformed into a different non-thrash genre altogether. Naturally, SLAYER refused to compromise their sound or their mission statement and instead came back with a furious vengeance, even

#185 Most OVERPLAYED and UNDERRATED Songs in Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/03/09

“It’s the ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ of ‘Kill ‘em All’…” Thanks to the “radio homogenization” resulting from the 1996 Telecommunications Act which prompted a handful of corporations to buy up all the radio stations and systematically destroy them by repeatedly violating our ear holes and airwaves with the same overrated, pre-programmed, 6-song playlist (like some Clockwork Orange style mind control experiment run amok), there are A LOT of songs out there that have been so completely overplayed

#184 KREATOR - Vol. I: The 80’s

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/03/02

For the inhabitants of the Bunkerpoon, Georgia Tech’s college radio station (WREK 91.1FM) and their weekly, late-night metal show (WREKage) was our very first exposure to one of the titans of “The Big Teutonic Four” of thrash metal, Germany’s KREATOR. In fact, for many of us in and around the tri-county, metropolitan Atlanta area, that was the only place in the late 80’s where we’d hear them (at least on the radio anyway…). It’s time to break out your “thirstables” and bear witness to the best

#183 DEATH MATCH - Ride The Lightning vs Peace Sells...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/02/23

With the exception of a few notable anomalies in metal history, a band’s second (i.e., follow-up) album is almost always more ambitious (and usually a ginormous quantum leap forward) than their debut album in nearly every way imaginable. And because we can’t help but “poke the bear” every now and again, we thought “Why not pick two of the most incredibly important follow-up albums in thrash metal history to duke it out in the coliseum?” From 1984, it’s METALLICA with RIDE THE LIGHTNING.

#182 PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/02/16

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, the third release from “Big Six” Bay Area thrashers TESTAMENT, is a bit of a departure from the more eerie, dark, and creepy signature sound represented on The Legacy & The New Order. There’s an almost upbeat, “good time thrash” vibe to it, with “more singy, less screamy” vocals and “more accessible” songs that radio stations could feel safer playing over the airwaves (especially during the daytime). Some might say it’s their “…And Justice For Black Album” album, others

2023/02/09

“How close can we sound like Black Sabbath without ripping off Black Sabbath?” Initially we had planned to only do a 4-volume series on STONER & DOOM Metal, but we quickly realized that the likelihood of that was as unrealistically absurd as sparking up a spit moistened doob with a waterlogged lighter, because there is ALWAYS some kind of stony, doomy, glorious metal goodness oozing out of the wood paneled, shag carpeted, smoke filled, tri-county Stonerverse.

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/02/02

“It wouldn’t pain me more to bury you rich than to bury you poor…” One of the quintessential principles of the Bunkerpoon creed is to arrive at a philosophically logical conclusion regarding any and all things metal, regardless of genre or subgenre. To put it plainly: “there’s Thrash, and then there’s Metal.” Similarly, there’s ALT METAL, and then there’s NU METAL (“ALT…and NU.”) You’re gonna wanna break out your extended-release relaxers and get ready for a “triple uncorking” before leaving the

“Those were the days…” 1983. A time when “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi” was number one at the box office, the national debt was a meager $195 BILLION (compared to the $31,000 BILLION behemoth it is today), the first mobile phones cost around four grand (which, when adjusted for inflation, would be around $12K today), and Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer had just released their first-new debut albums.

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/01/19

“So I told him about my pain and the life I’ve been through, he just smiled and the laughter came Then I told him that I love you…and the devil cried.” The early 80’s saw a changing of the guard in BLACK SABBATH, with vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO becoming the new “captain at the helm” as the front man for the legendary Birmingham quartet and bringing along with him a heroic dose of wizards, dragons, clean tigers, shiny diamonds, and more mystical lyrical metaphors than you can shake a sorcerer’s
