058: Black Sabbath Deep Tracks from the First Six Albums

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/10/01

Back before corporations acquired (and systematically destroyed) rock radio by playing the same 10 songs on perpetual repeat into the dirt, radio disc jockeys used to actually have some control over their “playlists” and would sometimes throw on a song that wasn’t a normal rock radio favorite: maybe something that wasn’t a “hit single”, or something for which there was no “music video”; something longer, something unusual, something off the beaten path: we call these Deep Cuts. That’s what us

057: Sabbat Dreamweaver Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/09/25

One of the key components of classic thrash during the glory years was riffs; namely “how many can you fit into one song?” (sort of the same logic used in many of today’s finer adult motion picture feature presentations). Sabbat answers that question: ALL of them!! This was new territory for some of us as we weren’t as familiar with Sabbat back in the day and didn’t have access to it (though it if we did, we would have certainly bought it).

It’s Vol. 2 of our 4 Vol. Metal Nerdery Stoner Doom Metal Sampler Series. We found some more incredible Stoner Doom Metal tunes “after the smoke cleared” from our last Stoner Doom Sampler Vol. 1 episode and of course “we wanted to share” with you the “bounty of our harvest”, because everything is better shared between “a couple of buds”.

055: Power Trip HAIL to Riley Gale and Power Trip

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/09/10

Often in life, we don’t discover the truth about something until it’s too late. And the truth about Powertrip is that they are an anachronistic anomaly in Thrash Metal: yeah they may have come to power in the late 2000’s and 2010’s but they would sound right at home in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s era of Thrash Metal that we hold so dear. Sadly, some of us are only just now discovering the band for the very first time upon learning of the unfortunate and untimely passing of Powertrip frontman,

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/09/03

Ahh, 1987. Before Bob Rock and The Black Album were even imagined, before Metallica cut their hair and gave us multiple LOADS, there were “The Garage Days”. After the devastating and tragic loss of bassist Cliff Burton in 1986, Metallica had to find a suitable replacement bassist to help the band continue forward on their quest for worldwide Thrash Metal domination. Enter Jason Newsted. Enter some new blood. Enter Night… (Wait, it’s too early for that…we’re not there yet, so let it keep ringing out,

053: Thrash Metal History '81 - '87

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/08/27

Ahhh, the 80’s and the early days of Thrash Metal. A time of exponential growth in the genre that would become THE most powerful and glorious force in the entirety of the known Thrash Metalverse. The speed, the riffs, ALL of it: The 1980’s gave us the birth (and further evolutionary refinement) of Thrash Metal. If you’re reading this, then you already know that we here at Metal Nerdery LOVE THRASH and would delight in being able to listen to, play and/or talk about Thrash all the time! But in order

“What happens when fresh green collides with Metal? Duuuuuuuuuuude…” That’s right! Stoner Metal. Doom Metal. Sludge Metal. The label doesn’t really matter. What DOES really matter is how fantastically heavy & awesome ALL of it is!! On this, Metal Nerdery’s Stoner Metal Showcase, Vol.1, we check out some of the early, influential Stoner & Doom Metal bands (*cough* Black Sabbath *more coughing*), discuss the differences between the different subgenres, and talk about anything and everything

051: Metallica Ride The Lightning Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/08/13

Any metalhead who hears the phrase “80’s era Metallica” will IMMEDIATELY conjure visions of James, Lars, Kirk and Cliff (R.I.P.) and be transported back to the days of yore, back before Metallica was a household name, back before they were part of The Big Four of Thrash Metal Royalty, back before Master of Puppets was even a “thought”. Back to 1984 and the badassness of Ride The Lightning. Ride The Lightning, Metallica’s 2nd album is, without a doubt, one of THE most glorious sophomore SLAMS (not

2020/07/30

Getting to know a fellow Metalhead is a lot like dating: you have to ask the right questions to see if THEIR Metal is in alignment with YOUR Metal. So, we decided it’d be fun to give everyone a more intimate view of what drives the Metal Nerdery magic by addressing some basic “Getting to Know You” style questions. For example: What’s the word about the Metal Nerdery nerds? What is their backstory as it relates to Metal? And for the love of Tony Iommi and all things Metal, WTF are ‘fart

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/07/16

1989. Brazil. Thrash Metal. Magic. Sepultura’s “Beneath the Remains” is STILL a force to be reckoned with in the thrash metal community and really, the metal community at large. It is fast, heavy, thrashy and also, GROOVY! (That’s right. GROOVY!). Sepultura “raised the bar” with this album, bringing BOLTH groove and melody together with those amazing riffs, the breakneck speed and the incredibly complex, technical thrash choreography that PROVES this is the band’s “Master of Puppets” album

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2020/07/09

“There’s just something about those first 2 Slayer records…” 1985. This was a time in history where Thrash Metal was quickly taking over the musical landscape and proving that things were about to get a whole lot darker, faster and heavier (and EVILER of course, much to the chagrin of the PMRC!). Slayer’s 2nd album, ‘Hell Awaits’, had ALL of the necessary ingredients to make the quantum leap forward with their increasingly darker lyrical imagery and apocalyptic sonic palette.

2020/07/02

King Diamond. Just seeing the name conjures all kinds of dark, creepy, diabolical imagery. ‘Abigail’ (which is King Diamond’s second solo album) is the first King Diamond album that truly captured his master horror storytelling craft, spinning tales of “living” haunted houses, betrayal and evil murderous zombie demon babies. It is by far one of THE most important concept albums EVER in the history of metal (and most certainly one of THE BEST horror stories ever told!). So fix your favorite relaxer,

On this episode we conclude our 3 part series on 1990: 30 Years of Metal, starting with the O’s. We went down the rabbit hole on a few topics and reminisced about some old show stories and other assorted flashbackery that activated the METAL NERDERY TIME TUNNEL and sent us back to our high school dimension. It’s been determined that for Generation X’ers, the 90’s was essentially OUR 70’s; especially as it relates to metal!! Each decade, metal continues to get bigger and more badass, growing in power

The tidal wave of thrash everyone thought had crested and peaked in the late 1980’s actually plowed on through into the 1990’s, effectively forging a re-engineering of 80’s thrash metal to be even MORE brutally brutal and

The one thing that great thrash and great comedy have in common is great timing!! Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.) came around at the perfect time in the 80’s thrash metal scene and were the perfect blend of hilarity, angst, and ultra thrashy, punky hard-core goodness to help remind us all that we could still HAVE FUN, especially with Metal!!
