#295 - METALCORE

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/04/10

Summary:“I’m sorry, what was that? No, the second part…the part that came after that…” METALCORE seems to be all over the place, in that its components are quite varied and cover a broad spectrum of everything that has historically made metal awesome: double bass drumming, guitar shred, breakdowns and mosh parts, and sometimes even some emo screaming and heartfelt vocals sung straight from the balls. Like a heavy metal jambalaya with a ton of different ingredients, METALCORE is the next wave of

WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR BON SCOTT (a continuation of our AC/DC Side 1: The Bon Scott Years episode from way back in 2020) is OUR greatest hits package from the iconic Bon Scott Years of AC/DC. And because we couldn’t include ALL of the tracks from this legendary era, there were quite a few that unfortunately got “Shot Down In Flames”. Having said that, we still managed to include everything we felt SHOULD be included which best represents the classic Bon era of AC/DC.Find out how tasting the

#293 METALLICA Death Magnetic Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/03/27

“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 80’s output, with a sound that is a true return to their original thrash form which could have easily placed this album being

#292 1995 Year in METAL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/03/20

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 acquitted thanks (in no small part) to Robert Kardashian, the man who would ultimately become responsible for fueling the success of

#291 PENTAGRAM Lightning In A Bottle Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/03/13

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) powering through “The Ghoul” with the rest of the band on stage and instantly becoming a viral sensation across metal circles

#290 DARK ANGEL - Inside The Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/03/06

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 Death’s catalog. Prepare to learn more about “the outer balloon knot” (‘the yurt’ as it ‘twere)” and remember that when

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/02/27

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 surreal silliness.With drum beats that are right, smack dab ”in the pocket”, bass lines that defy the laws of music and reality,

#288 SLIPKNOT Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/02/20

“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, disturbing, and their self-titled debut album conveys these qualities in the darkest way possible. The album cover alone is the stuff of

#287 WTF Moments in METAL

2025/02/13

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 find out why some “poon juice” has an “extra aroma” and remember that “for less than the price of a pack of smokes OR a bottle of lube”

#286 FLOTSAM & JETSAM - DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER...

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/02/06

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 that band would later become Metallica’s new bassist following the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton in late 1986. It is

2025/01/30

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.

1985. Back To The Future would become the highest grossing film of the year, the Live Aid benefit would be hosted simultaneously in 2 different venues on 2 different continents, and the Coca-Cola Company would experience a catastrophic failure with “New Coke” by (once again) failing to put its namesake ingredient from the ORIGINAL “Original Formula” back in their legendary beverage.

2025/01/09

“I wanna talk about DOWNTIME…”Many moons ago during the B.R. era (Before Russ), back in the early days of this podcast with Adam, we took on The 1st Four of The Big 4, taking a look at each of the debut albums from Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, respectively. To take that episode a step further (and to add a slight twist to the original premise), we thought it might be fun (and a bit of a challenge) to attempt to identify which tracks would be considered the DEEP CUTS from The First

#281 - Ozzy Diary of a Madman Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/01/02

DIARY OF A MADMAN, the 2nd album from OZZY OSBOURNE (and his band, BLIZZARD OF OZZ) is a perfect example of how an artist’s follow-up album often eclipses their debut outing. With a heftier mix and heavier riffs, darker lyrical themes & eerie gothic metal elements, and of course the disturbingly graphic album artwork, DIARY represents a quantum leap forward for “The Prince Of Darkness”, combining each of the aforementioned components into one of the darkest and heaviest metal albums ever to have

It’s time to say goodbye to 2024 with our Bunkerpoon International holiday celebration, where we will be waxing nostalgic on this year’s episodes and simultaneously ripping holes in the “space time continuum” whilst checking out some highlights and indulging in our own “Pepperidge Farm moments” of metal infused lunacy. Remember to “expect the worst & hope for the best” whenever consuming a “vegetable shake” and understand that being called a “handsome woman” is flattering, “doppelgangers” are

Just to be 100% TRANSparent, this is NOT an officially sanctioned “Chronicles” episode. However, it is the time of year for the TRANS-Siberian Orchestra (featuring the “Savatage Brothers”) and we felt compelled by the power of the holiday season to delve into the realm of HAIR METAL and reflect back on one of the least desirable (yet often most satisfying) subgenres of metal alongside memories of poon from the days of yore with the kinds of girls you would “meet once at a party and never talk to

“I’m sorry, what was that? What was the last thing you said?”Forty years ago this year (specifically, July 2, 1984), DIO (the man and the band) released THE LAST IN LINE, the follow up to their 1983 debut and the first album to feature full time keyboardist Claude Schnell. Forty years later, it still maintains its relevance throughout the realms of metal, especially when compared (relatively speaking) with music from 40 years prior to 1984! Think about the music from 40 years before 1984. There

#276 TOOL Ænima Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/11/28

AENIMA, the 1996 album from progressive metal shamans TOOL, is a progressive, heavy, and atmospheric album loaded with layers and layers of sonic texture that should be enjoyed with headphones to ensure the ideal experience. In short, if Tool is the metal community’s Pink Floyd, then AENIMA is most definitely their Dark Side Of The Moon. And as with any prog album of such incredible quality, you must listen to it “front to back”, in its entirety because it’s truly a “start to finish”
