#275 - 1992 THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

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. Prepare yourself for the most “thick and full” compilation of on-mic burps ever to appear on any podcast anywhere in the history of

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/11/14

“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.

#273 CONCERT REVIEW - KING DIAMOND & OVERKILL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/11/07

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

#272 TYPE-O-NEGATIVE: INSIDE THE METAL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/10/31

“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

#271 - KING DIAMOND Metal Master of the Macabre

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

#270 GHOST - INSIDE THE METAL

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

#269 - HALLOWEEN 2024 SUPER SPECIAL

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/10/10

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

#268 STONER DOOM METAL VOL. 7: THE SEARCH FOR DOOM

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

#267 - Alice Cooper Rob Zombie and Shock Rock

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/09/26

“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!

#266 - CAN’T BE LOUD ENOUGH VOL. III

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/09/19

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,

#265 SLAYER GOD HATES US ALL Album Review

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/09/12

For most SLAYER fans, Tuesday, September 11, 2001, began as every other new music release day would: we all anxiously anticipated stopping by the record store after work to pick up a copy of their brand-new album, GOD HATES US ALL. Words cannot describe the eerily psychotic synchronicity that seemingly linked the atrocities of that day with the timing of the release of SLAYER’s 9th studio album. Still, after twenty-three years (and counting), one thing remains unchanged: GOD HATES US ALL may

#264 TITLE TRACKS

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/09/05

“I’m just letting you know; I was holding back…it may get worse…”TITLE TRACKS are not always the ultra-obvious, one trick pony they’d seem to be. Sometimes it IS ultra-obvious and is smack dab in the middle of the chorus where it belongs, sometimes only one of the words might be included in the chorus, and still other times “the chorus is not explicitly mentioned” anywhere within the title track at all. As you can tell, the rules regarding TITLE TRACKS are often “unburdened by what has been”

#263 NWOOSTM Vol. IV: THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/29

“You can take something so pretty and make it so ugly…”It’s been a while since we discussed any NWOOSTM, so we figured we’d check out one of the NWOOSTM playlist recommendations from “Mr. PB&J” himself. (NOTE: that’s New Wave Of Old School Thrash Metal in case you’re not into acronyms). THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC (which you can find on Amazon music), has a wide variety of NWOOSTM bands with newer, old school, classic thrash sounds.

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/22

“If Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell…”You’ve heard of movies based on books, but what about albums based on books? IRON MAIDEN’s seventh studio album, SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON, released on April 11, 1988, is inspired by Orson Scott Card’s 1987 novel “Seventh Son” and is their first official “keyboard” album, confirming IRON MAIDEN’s progressive metal mastery as one of the finest progressive metal albums of all time.

#261 - JUST TALKIN SHITTAH: Vol. IV

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/22

We got a little out of control and went far beyond the “appetizers” section, to the point that there was no “meat” to skip to (in terms of a docket), primarily because we had a lot to talk about: albums ahead of their time, new Olympic competitions, and a whole host of other things (including our potential 9/11 Head-To-Head Death Match teaser…). Be sure to “have a nice August” and remember that the answer to the question in question can only be “Wet? Or moist?”. Fix yourself a “peanut butter and

#260 EXODUS - The KILLER Openers

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/15

“Do you know how many burps I edit out?”EXODUS have been blessed with the almost uncanny gift of delivering absolutely devastating opening tracks on every album they’ve ever done.* There’s simply nothing like the “violently articulate” manifestations of Gary Holt’s riff wizardry to fuel the intensity of how blisteringly killer the opener (not to mention, the rest of the album) will be, which is why we’re BUILDING THE PERFECT ALBUM OF KILLER OPENERS to convey the critical importance of “setting

#259 SLAYER Diabolus In Musica Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/08

Hopefully by now, everyone is familiar with those first three notes from the first Black Sabbath album. During The Middle Ages, this was referred to as DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA (which is Latin, meaning “The Devil In Music”). While also known as “The Devil’s Interval”, or in musical parlance simply as the tritone, SLAYER fans recognize DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA as the band’s 8th album of sonic evilocity and darkness, and the 2nd with Paul Bostaph on the drums. Even though it was released on June 9, 1998, as

#258 LED ZEPPELIN IV - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/08/01

Imagine being in a record store, just flipping through the LED ZEPPELIN section of albums on November 8, 1971, and finding an album that appeared unfamiliar, mysterious, and perhaps even a bit out of place. The album cover gave no reference as to the band’s name or any discernible album title, the back cover had no track listing, there were no pictures of the band. There was nothing. On the front cover, there is nothing more than a framed picture showing an old, bearded man standing with a

#257 - TESTAMENT Souls of Black: Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/07/25

Often in life you have to “strike while the iron is hot” because more often than not, the “First Strike Is Deadly” and not striking may result in lost opportunity and success. And while TESTAMENT were riding the wave of success from their first three albums and the subsequent tours that followed, their fourth album within three and a half years, SOULS OF BLACK, might have been a step too far. Granted, the October 9, 1990 release of SOULS OF BLACK was a prerequisite for the band’s inclusion on the

Metal Nerdery Podcast ·

2024/07/18

1991 was a year unlike any other. KFC changed their name to avoid paying royalties to the “trademarked” commonwealth for which they were named (whereas K-Y Jelly could not be reached for comment), Terminator 2: Judgment Day was blowing up the box office as the number one movie in America, the first ever “world wide web” website was introduced to the world by Tim Berners-Lee, and just 6 days after that, on August 12th, 1991, Coroner’s fourth album (Mental Vortex) AND Metallica’s self-titled fifth
