078: Ronnie James Dio

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/02/18

“Look inside of yourself, you might see someone you don’t know…” – DIO. Anytime someone utters the name “Ronnie James Dio”, almost immediately one is transported to another dimension ruled by magic and fantasy; a place where wizards conjure spells and help angels to protect the castle from the dragons of the realm with clean tigers and shiny diamonds. “Ride the carousel and cast a magic spell…” – Rainbow. Throughout his career, whether it was with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath or his solo

077: Top Guitar Shredders

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/02/11

Okay, lead guitar players, gun slingers, virtuosos, et al, LISTEN UP!!! This is YOUR episode!! When you have a podcast about Metal Nerdery and 66% of the Metal Nerdery staff are guitar players (that’s 2/3 if you can Math good) and the guitarists decide to go down the rabbit hole regarding the art of shredding and overall lead guitar wizardry & sheer solo shreddery, you KNOW things are going to go off the rails in the most shred-tactical way possible. You’re going to want to double your

076: Megadeth Peace Sells...But Who's Buying Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/02/04

There’s a saying that “the best revenge is living well”. Well, someone forgot to give Dave Mustaine that memo. Because as far as we can tell, Dave’s “best revenge” was to form Megadeth, a band assembled with a very specific mission: to be faster, darker, snarlier, and MORE technically proficient than his previous band from which he’d been unceremoniously sacked (that means “fired from Metallica without warning” in Americanese). Megadeth’s sophomore slam PEACE SELLS…BUT WHO’S BUYING? is a

075: ANTHRAX Spreading The Disease Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/01/28

As you will recall, we wrapped up 2020 with a trip back to 1985. Of the MANY masterpieces that were released that year, Anthrax’s SPREADING THE DISEASE (or “S.T.D.” for short. Don’t deny the power of acronyms. L.O.L!) had a markedly different sound than the other 75% (that’s 3…) of the Big 4; full of hooky, memorable melodies and a gracious super-sized order of Crunchy Ball Riffs that far exceeds the “normal” Recommended Daily Allowance of Crunchy Ball Riffs that are ESSENTIAL for optimal Thrash

074: #NWOOSTM - New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/01/21

There’s an old proverb that says: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. No matter which realm of Metal it refers to, that’s music to our ears! Because (supposably), to quote David Lee Roth: you can’t get that stuff (“that stuff” in this case, being Old School Thrash Metal) no more. But thankfully, DLR was WRONG! Because you CAN get that stuff yes more, thanks to an acronym that your humble Nerderers stumbled upon in our quest for greater Metal knowledge: The New Wave of Old School

073: 1986 Year In Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2021/01/14

1986. The Highlander. The Challenger. Reign in Blood. One of THE most critically important years in Thrash history (and honestly, I would argue that for ALL Metal, but as Russell would say: I digest). Thanks to the glorious excess of the mid-1980’s (Thanks Reaganomics and cocaine!), metal fans were treated to some of the finest, most incomparably superb moments in metal history that would likely NEVER be bested. Period. You know what time it is! It’s 2021: time to leave the polished

070: Down II Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/12/24

There’s something downright mysterious about DOWN II. Something about the vibe of the album sounds like it was recorded and produced by Roger Bain in some haunted, abandoned church in an alternate dimension during the early 1970’s and then teleported back to 2002 for a boost in production value and loudness thanks to the generous spell of a wizard who loves Metal. But that’s not what happened. No, there was something else that amplified and enhancified the mystique presented on DOWN’s sophomore

069: Tribute to Dime

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/12/17

I awoke on December 8th and felt a little “off”. It felt heavy. Oppressive. Like a spiritual hangover. And then I remembered why… 16 years before was the day that we would forever mourn the loss of one of THE G.O.A.T.’s of Metal’s current generation: our modern-day Riff Lord that we know and love (and HAIL!) as Dimebag (Diamond) Darrell, or simply: DIME! DIME was a force to be reckoned with in Metal, he could do it ALL! Killer intros, killer riffs, killer solos…what’s NOT to LIKE!? ALL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/12/10

Back in the day, there were certain criteria on the back of every cassette and compact disc that were critical to ensure that the piece of thrashtastical goodness you were about to consume was WORTHY of your entertainment dollar. One of the most important criteria to look for was the record label. Back then, the independent record labels were what really helped to launch the entire Thrash Metal movement and community, thanks in large part to the power of networking (we’re talking pre-internet,

2020/12/03

Sometimes you have to be reminded of history to understand bolth where you come from and why things are the way they are today. Thanks to Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records various Metal Massacre compilations, we’re able to gain a greater glimpse of the Metal landscape as it was at that time; a sound that was slowly transitioning from hard rock into what we know and love as heavy metal.

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/11/26

We did it again; we kept it loose (which was, like, totally awesome, but whatever…). We had initially intended on targeting 1985 Thrash Metal but as it turns out, there was an absolute abundance of killer metal albums from all across the metal continuum released during 1985 that went beyond Thrash, so we decided to include those as part of the discussion as well. So go roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer, pretend your laptop and cell phone don’t exist for the next hour, fire up the

065: Top 6 Slayer Songs

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/11/19

So, we apologize in advance for lying. We were “planning” to pick our respective Top 6 Favorite Fucking Slayer Tracks. One problem: it’s REALLY hard for us to nail down our personal “Final Six” Favorite Fucking Slayer tracks, because quite frankly, it’s Fucking Slayer. Which means that we could do this episode in a million different ways in a million different multiverses across a million different dimensions and they would ALL be unique. And they would ALL be awesome. Because they would ALL

Akka Dakka. If you’re from Australia, then you already know what this means (and are probably shocked that more people don’t know what this means). If you’re NOT from Australia, then you know them by their non-Aussie moniker: AC/DC (and now, through the magic of reading, you know the meaning of BOLTH!). On this episode, we’re discussing Side 1 of AC/DC: The Bon Scott side. The beginnings of a band that would forever change the landscape of Rock and Metal with high-energy, killer riffs, face

2020/11/05

One thing this merry band of Metal Nerderers will agree on: we LOVE us some Black Sabbath! And with fall being the quintessentially ideal season for Sabbath (and with Witches Night right around the corner), we felt it was the perfect time to jump deep into the ultra-creepy end and get into the brutally heavy modern day classic that really freaked people out a half a century ago in 1970 (!): Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”. Anytime we get to talk about Black Sabbath, it’s always a good time! It’s the

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/10/22

We here at Metal Nerdery live by a few “rules”: Our Trust is in Black Sabbath and Slayer, Pantera was the Metallica of the 90’s and some songs, albums AND/OR bands simply CAN’T BE LOUD ENOUGH!! (sorry, that’s the text representation of turning everything up to 11 and SCREAMING IN CYBERSPACE!). We were all over the road and had a lot of fun with this one and dug into all kinds of incredible tracks that need to be ‘LOUDER’ (isn’t it obvious?).

“Where were YOU when you heard the news…?” No one will EVER forget the day that Eddie Van Halen left this world. And the reason we will never forget is because Eddie Van Halen CHANGED this world in such an incredibly profound (and incredibly METAL) way that he can only be described as unforgettable. There have been many copycats and imitators over the years, but to paraphrase from The Highlander: “There Can Be Only ONE Eddie Van Halen!” JOIN US as we pay tribute to the GREATEST, most innovative and

059: Pantera Far Beyond Driven Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/10/08

Pantera had a gift for outdoing themselves with every song and every album. Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly be any heavier, they come around the corner and prove you wrong. FAR BEYOND DRIVEN, Pantera’s 3rd release (post Power Metal) blends the intensity and thrashy groove of Vulgar with the aggression and brutal heaviness of Trendkill. (No wonder it went to Number 1!!!)
