091 Crucial Years in Metal - 1985
We begin our countdown to episode 100 with what we see as the most crucial years that shaped extreme metal.
090 Disrupt - Unrest
Massachusetts hardcore inspired grind? Not really any neat box that you can stick these guys into. More on the punk/grind spectrum than metal, but categories aside, Disrupt’s only album Unrest is a catchy, angry, violent tirade against corporate America, vivisection, organized religion and that’s just the beginning. Enjoy a crusty magnifying glass on America. Unrest.
089 Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
This time around we go song-by-song over one of the greatest second-wave black metal albums ever: Emperor’s In The Nightside Eclipse!
088 Hypocrisy Part 2
And the Hypocrisy continues with part 2!
087 Hypocrisy Part 1
Swedish death metal veterans Hypocrisy never really fit the mold of their contemporaries. Their sound changed album to album, with only Peter’s vocals and strange guitar tunings remaining a constant. With Peter Tägtgren producing all their material, they always seemed game to experiment. Here’s part one of Hypocrisy.
086 Sentenced
Since we did an episode focusing on their earlier career with vocalist Taneli Jarva, we’re focusing solely on their Ville Laihiala-era. Here’s the very melodramatic side of what the band became. Enjoy!
085 Godflesh
Post-Napalm Death Justin Broadrick broke ranks with grindcore and took a little Swans and some Ministry and created one of the most seamless genre mashups in history. Here’s Godflesh.
084 Di'Anno Maiden
Before there was Bruce, there was Paul. This episode we delve into the first two Iron Maiden.
083 MC5
We are once again joined by Mike Johnston to discuss the Motor City Five!
082 Celtic Frost Part 2
Part 2! Things get weird.
