177: NWOOSTM Vol. III - NEW WAVE OF OLD SCHOOL THRASH...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/01/12

The NEW WAVE OF OLD SCHOOL THRASH METAL (NWOOSTM) is the sonic equivalent of getting in a time machine and travelling back to when thrash was still relatively new (throughout the 80’s and the early 90’s) and making a few subtle tweaks. All of the classic ingredients of old school thrash are there. The sound, the album art, the band logos, not to mention the continuous evolution of 30 years of metal subgenres that didn’t even exist back then, which help to enhance the overall uniqueness of the

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2023/01/05

“YURRNOTUHRRRROTATONTATROTATATANBUMBUMBLAKAEAUHHTAHHHEAUBLAHUUURRRRAHHHH!” After blowing everyone’s mind with their revolutionary, self-titled debut, KORN returned with their follow up album, LIFE IS PEACHY, which took the Bakersfield, California Nu Metal pioneers to new levels of unmatched sonic aggression including deeply disturbing lyrics fueled by pure existential fury and primal rage. No band, before or since, has EVER sounded anything like KORN, and no band EVER will. It's time to fire up

175: SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/12/29

“I want you to listen! I’m talking to you…” One could easily argue that SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH, the fifth studio release from Birmingham’s own BLACK SABBATH, is their “Black Album” moment, in that there are a multitude of different dimensions present on this album that were not as evident or pronounced as on the first four albums, including the addition of synthesizers, orchestras, and atmosphere. Get ready to appreciate the value of “projection as a coping mechanism” and embrace your “late

2022/12/22

Ahhh, the Holiday season. Christmastime in the city. Filled with “tidings of comfort and joy” that includes leaving out some special “Christmas tree” infused cookies for Santa in the hope that you will be blessed with something special from SANTA’S SACK on Christmas morn. Grab yourself some “cocoa nibs”, settle in and prepare to “get tingly”, for the time is at hand to come together “at the same time” before you get “wiped” and take another sip of “jollyfish” infused “chumwater” which will reveal

173: EXODUS: THE ROB DUKES ERA

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/12/15

“What’s the biggest metal boner you think you ever got in your life?” As much as it pains us to say it, it has only been extremely recently that we finally got some insight into the ROB DUKES ERA of EXODUS, and thank goodness we finally did, because we seriously had no clue as to the level of thrashtactical brutality we’d been missing! Not only were the early 2000’s a renaissance for a multitude of classic thrash bands from the glorious days of yore, but the ROB DUKES era completely blew our

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/12/08

“The perfect is the enemy of the good” - Voltaire In a world infested and subjugated by the tediously mediocre, all we can ever strive for in this life is to do the BEST we possibly can (even if our best is not perfect.) Having said that, we’ve decided to embrace “the enemy of the good” by BUILDING THE PERFECT THRASH ALBUM. We each came into the Bunkerpoon with our top 12 favorite thrash tunes and constructed (what we believed to be) the perfect collection of perfect thrash songs for the perfect

171: NUCLEAR ASSAULT - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/12/01

“Why don’t you think for yourself?” NUCLEAR ASSAULT, the crossover thrash titans hailing from NYC featuring the aggro bass thunder of Dan Lilker (formerly of Anthrax and S.O.D.) alongside the punishing riffs & brutal lyrical commentary of John Connelly, graced metal with an uncompromising attitude and visceral urgency that combines old-school thrash themes with New York hardcore aggression, resulting in an East Coast crossover thrash sound so desperately needed (and welcomed) during the late 80’s

170: The Chronicles Part 2 - Metal Massacre III and...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/11/24

“What do you wanna do with your life?” For everyone still trying to recover from “the prior episode” we understand you’ve endured a lot and assure you that it’s about to get even more surreal. Think of THE CHRONICLES: Part II as a 2-part episode embedded within the second half of The Chronicles, like appetizers before the main course or, using a more apropos food analogy, a “Turducken” of Metal if you will. For starters, it’s back to 1983 for a tasting of early metal compiled by Brian Slagel and

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/11/17

“We’ve got a little surprise for you tonight…” We’ve been talking about doing this for so long now that many of you (ourselves included) had almost given up thinking it was ever going to happen, like it was just another instance of the usual psilly nonsense that manifests deep within the Bunkerpoon Studios whilst surfing relaxer fueled waves of madness. Well, the aforementioned “psilly nonsense” has finally manifested into a multi-dimensional, multi-tentacled reality! Now, just so we’re

168: AC/DC LET THERE BE ROCK - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/11/10

“In the beginning…back in 1955…” While it’s the first album sporting the trademark lightning bolt logo (and the last album with Mark Evans on bass), AC/DC’s 1977 masterpiece LET THERE BE ROCK remains a quintessential chapter in the AC/DC catalog and is without question one of the most blistering albums of their legendary 70’s output. Featuring the furiously unrestrained lyrical genius of Bon Scott, the limitless kinetic headbanging and scorching guitar pyrotechnics of Angus Young, and the

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/11/03

“Step inside, walk this way…” The world just wouldn’t be the same without Dave Mustaine and MEGADETH. No one else in metal embodies the same snarling, vengeful angst against the psychopathic “powers that be” as Mega Dave, and the band’s 16th studio offering, “THE SICK, THE DYING…AND THE DEAD!” once again proves it. With topics running the gamut from space travel, war, and (actual) plague to nuclear disaster and shameless celebrity selfie queens, Dave has once again masterfully unleashed his

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/10/27

“How could The Exorcist be your LEAST favorite scary movie?” Gratuitous thunderclaps, ominous church bells ringing in the chapel, creepy haunted castles, ghosts & poltergeists, witches & werewolves, paranormal and supernatural activity, candy… That’s right: candy!!! And with any luck, hopefully some fortunate trick-or-treaters will be blessed with some of that “good candy” on their door-to-door quest to satiate their sugar fix. All overly concerned parents are encouraged to send any suspect candy

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/10/20

“First I drink, then I smoke…” Everyone already knows that when you mix heavy blues, rock, and jazz, the result is Black Sabbath. Now, if you mix some Sabbath with a hardcore foundation, a liberal splash of misanthropic loathing for fake people, and a generous portion of brutal grooves seasoned with discordant jazz noises, the result is HELMET. HELMET’S fourth outing, AFTERTASTE, is a sonic collection of laser focused apathy seething out of every track due to the manufactured “swath” of counterfeit

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/10/13

“Hey, hey, have you read the news?” For over 30 years, the mighty minstrels from Maryland known collectively as CLUTCH have been synthesizing sonic goodness that defies categorization, capturing all of the greatest nuances and attitude of 70’s classic rock from “The Days of Yore” and seamlessly blending that together with ingeniously crafted lyrical ciphers and modern-day stoner metal intensity into a single, heavy, wall of sonic potency that doesn’t neatly fit into any specific genre. In short,

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/10/06

“Yeah, yeah…” For SLAYER fans, their merciless 1983 debut SHOW NO MERCY and their even darker, more progressive 1985 follow up HELL AWAITS both possess a somewhat more sinister sound and atmosphere relative to the totality of their catalog. These first two records mark the beginning of their development into the fiercest, darkest, and evilest of The Big Four of thrash, featuring a virtually continuous “all-you-can-eat” onslaught of death, Hell, and Satan. Now, imagine what would happen if you were

“You really like…my limousine…you like the way…the wheels roll…you like my seven-inch…leather heels…and going to…all of the shows…BUT…” Exactly ONE year, ONE month, and ONE day before the rain, thunder, bells and tritones of Black Sabbath’s debut “delivered” heavy metal upon the world, the release of the eponymous debut from Birmingham (England, NOT Alabama) quartet LED ZEPPELIN marked the “birth pains” of what was yet to be born in rock and metal, unleashing a darker, grittier and heavier sound

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2022/09/22

A house is supposed to be a safe, sane sanctuary from the evil and insanity relentlessly lurking around every corner of the outside world. However, hearing eerily unnatural sounds and witnessing uncanny otherworldly phenomenon (especially at night, right next to your bedroom) can be an extremely unsettling and terrifyingly traumatic experience, especially as a child. In the case of KING DIAMOND’s 3rd studio shock opera, “THEM”, the house of Amon (just like Grandma) is anything but safe or

2022/09/15

Depending on which side of the pond you’re on, PIECE OF MIND, the fourth offering from NWOBHM legends IRON MAIDEN, was released on May 16 and/or May 28, 1983, and irregardless of which side of the pond you’re on, the worldwide multitudes of metal fans rejoiced with gladness. As an homage to Nicko McBrain’s “maiden voyage” as the “drum-shaman” for this, his first album behind the kit with the mighty Maiden, we generated and recorded a vast assortment of quality on-mic burps with embedded, backwards

By now, you’ve no doubt noticed how we embrace our collective verbal turdery and nonsense early on so we can get it out of the way and move on to the good stuff. In the case of this episode, however, we completely veered off the docket freeway onto an offramp of SHIT-TAH and “blew out the lines” to give everyone a mental breather and help lower everyone’s expectations (yours and ours) down to zero, which is where ALL expectations should be kept (at all times) to help minimize the impact of life’s
