2021/10/21

Week 3 of Black History Month sees us heading back to the early 00's, to yet another band we'd not listened to before! Key talking points - More Bo Burnham chat than is strictly necessary on a metal podcast, an unfinished guitar, a Mel Brooks quandary, 2 Derrick's from Cleveland, a drummer who thinks thrash is for life and not just for Christmas, Kyle gives us our first ever sneeze and Rich gives us the dictionary definition of shouting.

2021/10/14

Our Black History Month episodes continue as, this week, we look at a band who are making big waves in the UK Metal Scene. Key talking points - Rich gives the audience homework, Chino Moreno makes someones day, a mosh pit meet-cute, Whatsapp - the new metal songwriting app, sonic corridors, we still find time to bash Code Orange, some vivid song titles, an authorless quote and Kyle inadvertently causes some doubt.

Episode 60 - Rage Against The Machine/Rage Against...

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/10/07

Kicking off our Black History Month episodes, we talk about one of the most unique, talented and necessary bands who ever existed and their ever present, ever relevant self-titled debut. Key talking points - Another genius almost quits before he starts, a self deprecating nickname, more love for a musician's parent than ever before, "Good Song" the single, the biggest smallest pedal board in the world, Rich lists every music artists who ever lived and Kyle gets continually flustered at how Tom

Episode 59 - Spiritbox/Eternal Blue

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/09/30

The wait is over. This year's most anticipated debut is finally here. But will we like it after all this hype and waiting around? Key talking points - Convincing your parents you're in the biggest new band, a confusing marriage of record labels, being less jarred by being more jarred, an ultimatum for Architects, a mystery solved after 57 episodes, Rich forgets the name of every guitarist in the world and Kyle makes some early predictions.

Episode 58 - Avenged Sevenfold/Avenged Sevenfold

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/09/23

It's another returning band! This week, we dive into Avenged Sevenfold's self titled release, which was unfortunately their last album with Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan. Prepare for lots of drum talk, guitar noises and Tim Burton. Key talking points - The escape room blues, the wonders of memory, some questions need answering, we marvel at The Rev, V. Shadows gets in on the action, is anyone really left handed?, we demand justice for bassists, Rich gets flustered by some medicine, Kyle explains his love

Episode 57 - Soundgarden/Superunknown

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/09/16

This week, we're talking in person, in real life, like real humans, about one of the biggest rock albums of the 90s. So, excuse the large amount of background noise and mic wobbles (that would be Kyle flailing around and frantically air drumming), excuse the more meandering style of the chat (we hadn't seen each other for 5 years!) and just enjoy. Key talking points - We're held back by our own silly rules, the Grammys do the impossible, an unexpected guest, a strange super fan, Rich's inner pervert

Episode 56 - Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/09/09

So, for anyone who's counting, that's 3 debut albums in the first 4 episodes! This week marks our first returning band of the season, as we listen Black Sabbath's self-titled album and discuss the birth of heavy metal. Key talking points - The wonders of Joey Jordison, Eric Clapton gets his CTM debut, a metronome debate, a surprise harmonica, Gandalf The Grey swings by, Bill Ward refuses to stop, a secretly literal song title, Rich absolutely stitches Kyle up, Ozzy mishears some lyrics, Tony gives

Episode 55 - Creed/My Own Prison

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/09/02

This week, we look at possibly the world's most hated band and try to figure out why... Key talking points - The oldest Hamlet on record, 2 songs that definitely aren't Metallica covers, an unsupportive mother, a guitar you'll never lose, Kyle sneaks an orchestra into the mix again and Rich can't find a chorus.

Episode 54 - Ministry/Rio Grande Blood

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/08/26

Season 2 continues with a band that neither of us knew anything about (besides a few tracks in The Hurt Locker). Get ready to hear the name George W. Bush about 100 times! Key talking points - One hell of a genre change, a hypothetically well chosen recording location, "basically Al Jourgensen doing things", a You Can Call Me Al cover that no one wants to hear, Kyle gets quite annoyed about conspiracy theories and Rich isn't sure what to expect when he listens to 'Yellowcake'.

Episode 53 - Linkin Park/Hybrid Theory

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/08/19

We're back for a second year! Did you miss us? We're kicking off Season 2 with another visit to our formative years and one of the first albums we both owned. Key talking points - An octogenarian Gojira fan, some missing production credits, Rich settles the score on harmonics, Kyle is the ultimate anarchist, Linkin Park are stealthier than a spy plane and we get 37 minutes into a new season before mentioning Metallica... a new record?

Episode 52 - A Year In Review

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/07/22

WE DID IT! One whole year of listening to, enjoying, despising, insulting and adoring various albums. Thanks so much for listening! Here's to another year of madness. Key talking points - Kyle meets a hairy dog, some puzzling Wotsits, Sliding Doors 2: Pantera or Hatebreed, a genuine revelation, 'No Solos: The Metal Dating App' is an instant success, we're still mad about Lordi/Disturbed and the existence of KISS, we settle an age old debate, Rich is left incredulous, the supergroup of supergroups

Episode 51 - Korn/Issues

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/07/15

Just as we both take our first listen to a Korn album, Fieldy announces he's leaving the band. Classic. Now we look like insensitive bastards for not addressing it. Ahh, the perils of recording episodes a month in advance... Key talking points - Korn avoid the midlands, a Nu-Metal paradox, a strangle of bagpipes, writing an album in the style of Wheel Of Fortune, Kyle writes a 20 year old single and Rich decides to scare himself awake in the morning.

Episode 50 - Melvins/Houdini

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/07/08

It's episode 50!!! This week, we're listening to one of the pioneers of Sludge Metal and a band that influenced a lot of our favourite Grunge music. But, will they live up to such a weighty biography? Key talking points - We come down with a case of the 9-5 blues, a long lost uncle, chug city, we continue our crusade against KISS, a sprinkle of Cobain, Rich unwittingly channels Dave Mustaine, Kyle wittingly channels Dale Crover and Triple H makes his Chew The Metal debut.

Episode 49 - Metallica/Ride The Lightning

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/07/01

The random number generator has clearly been waiting for the perfect moment to give us our second Metallica album.... and here we are! This time, we go back to (almost) where it all started with their second album in 1984. There's no point hiding how we feel about this one - it's excellent! Key talking points - Justice for all but Kyle, a masterclass in puppetry, a pig update, a guessing game goes on way longer than it should, Kyle stops the show and Rich eats a big ol' plate of Ktulu.

Episode 48 - Alexisonfire/Crisis

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/06/24

This week, we're making our first trip to Canada as we listen to Toronto's favourite sons, Alexisonfire. But after last week's absolute nightmare, will the boys manage to say anything positive about an album ever again? Key talking points - Kyle does some PR for Bo Burnham, Rich has a very specific superpower, Frank Skinner's drastic career change, a feline interruption, we can't stop insulting Disturbed, handclap hierarchy, cover all the Gared bases, a screamalong chorus and the random number

Episode 47 - Disturbed/The Sickness

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/06/17

As a wise man once said - here we go again, another podcast for your earholes. But will we be Down With The Sickness, or will we be left Stupefied? Key talking points - America doesn't know what it wants, an unintelligible little machine gun man, hypocrisy reigns supreme, some terrible time keeping, rhymes to rival a Dr Seuss book, a binding pact broken, Rich wants to talk about Eurovision more than this week's topic and Kyle segues like a champ all day long.

Episode 46 - Mastodon/Crack The Skye

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/06/10

This week, we go back to where it all started with the mighty Mastodon! Join us as we try to wrap our heads around an album that takes in astral projection, the spirit realm, Russian history and the devil, all within 50 minutes. Key talking points - Perhaps the quickest intro of all time, a concept for the ages, it turns out we learn history exclusively from animated films, Brent Hinds - the tattooed baby, two pirate voices and a normal voice, running around with your shirt off screaming at people,

Episode 45 - Funeral For A Friend/Tales Don't Tell...

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/06/03

This week, we head back to the seas with our second ocean based concept album of the year! This time, it's Welsh post-hardcore heroes Funeral For A Friend who helm the ship. Key talking points - The longest farewell tour ever, some brothers and non-brothers, a named nameless character, a magic microphone, a one trick pony of a producer, Rich puts up some incomplete notes while analysing things note by note and Kyle leads the search for a lost singer.

Episode 44 - System Of A Down/Toxicity

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/05/27

What's that? Another band that Rich hadn't really heard before? Well, isn't this a turn up for the books. Come join us as we discuss SOAD's sophomore album and see what all the fuss is about. Key talking points - Rich walks a mile in ET's shoes, we're momentarily proud of the UK, Sporty Spice takes up a good chunk of the show, a man called Arto, a confusing opener, we start a petition for our dream gig, a weekly screen report, Kyle loves that Daron loves harmonics, the Babymetal session-musician

Episode 43 - The Mayfield Four/Second Skin

Chew The Metal: A Beginner"s Guide To Heavy Music ·

2021/05/20

This week, we're mostly bowing down to Myles Kennedy's amazing voice whilst also trying to remember that there are 3 other members in the band. Sorry guys. Key talking points - The beginning of a beautiful friendship, phasers set to 11, self congratulatory singers, another unexpected potty mouth, we look into the future perhaps a bit more than we should, Rich wants to Stop Believin' and Kyle wishes Myles would take his opinions into consideration when writing songs.
