#285 Women In Metal

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

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. Get ready to find out which metal drummer “makes Taylor Swift sound palatable” and remember that “sometimes you’ve gotta

#283 TOP 20 METAL ALBUMS OF 1985

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2025/01/16

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. We are well aware that there are multiple listicles already out there featuring the “Top 20 Metal Albums of 1985”

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

#280 - 2024 YEAR END WRAP-UP

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/12/26

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

#279 - HAIR METAL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/12/19

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

#278 DIO Last In Line Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/12/12

“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

WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH is like the perfect blending of our Building The Perfect Thrash Album Vol. 1 episode from 2 years ago (Dec 8, 2022 to be exact) along with our We Sold Our Soul For Sabbath episode from March of 2024, with some ever so slight nuances to help keep things interesting.As with our previous episodes which focused on various thrash bands from the days of yore (specifically the Top 10 Thrash Albums…And Then Some and Thrash Story Core episodes from way back in 2019, the Thrash

#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”

2024/11/21

“You were all pro-bass during the Biden years…”The year was 1992, way back when a gallon of gas cost just over a dollar, compact discs had finally outsold cassette tapes, progressive metal masters Dream Theater released their highly anticipated 2nd album, Images & Words, and everybody got a brief glimpse of Sharon Stone’s glorious “downstairs” in Basic Instinct.

“It’s an actual word, dude, I’d appreciate it if you’d recognize it as such…”CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 1994 masterpiece, DELIVERANCE, delivers the sonic equivalent of “Skynyrd Fried Sabbath” covered in ZZ Top gravy that instantly evokes visions of wood paneling, shag carpeting, weed, and November. In short, DELIVERANCE is the perfect soundtrack to fall. Discover the significance of “The Preamble” and understand why its importance desperately needs to be revisited.

On Friday, October 25th, 2024, we traveled to The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia for the Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 Tour to see KING DIAMOND & OVERKILL (LIVE!) in concert, and it was everything we wanted and expected it to be: A perfect venue without a bad spot in the house, incredibly killer bands with album perfect production and sound, and absolutely ZERO traces of “party gravy” to be found anywhere on the premises.Regrettably, we missed show opener NIGHT DEMON because we had to drive

“Dude, you know you can donate plasm…”Because of the obvious “Halloween tingle” wafting through the Bunkerpoon, we decided to finish out “the month of Halloween” with a rrrrrevisitation of the grrrrreen tinted, goth infused, Sabbath inspired doom metal druids hailing from Brooklyn, New York known as TYPE-O-NEGATIVE. To be fair, “technically” we have already done an INSIDE THE METAL featuring TYPE-O, but that’s been (approximately) 3 years and 10 days ago, and A LOT has changed since then, not

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/10/24

“Are you comparing King Diamond to KISS!?”KING DIAMOND is the undisputed champion of all things dark & creepy that scarify & terrify throughout the metal multiverse. In our humble opinion, The King should be deemed the official ambassador of Halloween. Through the use of the creative forces granted unto him by his Scandinavian homeland (and perhaps with a little supernatural assistance for added evilocity), The KING has been unleashing terrifying tales of gothic horror backed by a

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/10/17

“They’re the Toto of metal…”In keeping with the Halloween centric theme of October, obviously we’ve got to talk about “devil music”, and what better band to represent “the devil stuff” than GHOST, who’s not at all bashful about their utilization of Satan for inspiration. Imagine the mysteriousness of Blue Oyster Cult, but “kinda more metal, and sorta satanic a little bit”. While not overtly hateful or evil per se (as far as “devil music” goes), there is certainly a dark, otherworldly, and strangely

Upon descending deep down into the dank, cavernous darkness of the Bunkerpoon Dungeon, there’s a mysterious change in atmosphere that instantly transforms the entire month of October into Halloween, with all of the usual suspects present and accounted for: witches and wizards, ghosts and goblins, vampires, werewolves, reapers, reptiles, and even a little bit of good natured “Halloween themed psychic fisting” thrown in for good measure to make everything as authentically creepy as

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/10/03

“It’s all the same…only the names will change…”Sometimes, just like with “identical” twins, identifying the differences between subgenres can be difficult. Sure, they may seem the same, but there are subtle differences between the two that make them unique as individuals. Similarly, as with the “speed metal vs thrash metal” debate which has persisted since the 80’s, so continues the everlasting debate between Stoner and Doom metal: Are they the same? Or are they different? And if they ARE

“That’s NOT how you eat a chili dog…”The allure of SHOCK ROCK is, has been, and always will be the LIVE component of it; being at the show and viscerally experiencing all of the sights and sounds, in the flesh and in the moment. While many artists do also have lyrical subject matter which might make them eligible for placement in the SHOCK ROCK subgenre (see also “devil stuff”), the primary component to ensure proper “shock rock” cred is the LIVE concert experience, the actual SHOW!

It’s time to learn about the healthiest, most productive way to release “all of your aggressions” fueled by “road rage” and crank the volume all the way up to LOUD to indulge in metal that comes shrink wrapped “pre-LOUD” from the factory. Remember that sometimes “it’s a little gamey and a little tangy” which is why it’s always a good idea to “dip ‘em in the egg wash” first. Find out what it means to “dig some schnitzel” and why the strategic ambiguity of “vaguebooking” is extremely off-putting,
