Ep 317#316 2025 New Metal Releasal Showcase
E“This might be my favorite moment in music in 2025…” Just when you think “all the riffs have been done”, 2025 gives us the gift of BRAND-NEW METAL, including new music from OLD SCHOOL THRASH BANDS, a feat many would call miraculous, considering how long it’s been since these bands have released any new material! Whether it has been a half decade, a decade and a half, or in the most extreme case, three decades or more, it’s truly glorious to see the classic thrash metal bands of yore regroup and rejoin the fray stronger than ever with some of the finest output of their careers. Welcome back to “The Average Double Team Podcast”, where we’re all about “shooting ropes” and “painting walls” (especially with regard to new music). Always remember that the reason you ever do anything is “because you’re YOU” so “just be yourself”, have some “grizzled truck stop ASMR” to go with your “perineum sunning” and JOIN US as we dig into a whole boatload of brand-spank metal on our 2025 NEW RELEASAL SHOWCASE.

Ep 316#315 MASTODON CHAPTER II: 2010-2025
E“That’s the thing about music…it’s time stamped…it’s the soundtrack of our lives…especially for metal heads…” The metal world mourns the tragic loss of another legend, and this one hit too close to home... BRENT HINDS of Atlanta metal pioneers MASTODON was killed on August 20, 2025, in a traffic accident, just months after he and the band parted ways. There is no other band on earth like MASTODON, and there will never be another guitar player like BRENT HINDS, and so with that, we give you our 2nd installment of MASTODON, focusing on their later work, from 2011’s “The Hunter” to the final album to feature Hinds’ contributions, the progressive double album opus, 2021’s “Hushed And Grim”. Discover why metal girls are so much better than girls who aren’t into metal, learn the importance of spirit animals and shamans when traveling to other dimensions, and be sure to embrace the power of telepathy when communing with The Ineffable when you JOIN US as we bid farewell to BRENT HINDS and dig into the 2nd half of the MASTODON catalog with MASTODON CHAPTER II: 2010-2025.

Ep 315#314 – MEGADETH: COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION
E“We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…” Released on July 14th, 1992, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, the 5th MEGADETH album (and the 2nd to feature “the classic lineup” of Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza) would become the follow up to “one of the most perfect thrash albums of all time”, featuring a more streamlined, simplified, straight forward approach which served as a sonic palette cleanser to the progressive thrash complexity of 1990’s masterpiece, Rust In Peace. Simply stated, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION is complex in its simplicity. Even though this might be the most offensive episode we’ve ever made, we’d like to remind everyone that we’re still all about “rainbows and peaches” even though we’ve emphatically stated for the record that “we’re not gonna talk about it”. Remember proper cell phone etiquette to avoid being bothersome to others, prepare yourself for “The Average Double-Team”, head on down to Dangol County for some “High Speed Dirt”, and last but not least, find out “how to get out of offending anybody” when you “go pick up some honkies” and JOIN US as we start the clock and begin our analysis of MEGADETH’s COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION.

Ep 314#313 MAKE-UP IN METAL
E“I like feet, bro…” Whether it’s the “spooky kabuki KISS” face paint of the 70’s, the “ultra gloves of shame glam KISS” from the 80’s, or the black metal corpse paint of the modern day, MAKE-UP has been a part of rock and metal across a multitude of decades and genres that not only made for a superior stage show but also helped homely looking metal heads look and feel more attractive and confident. It’s time to take care of the “nut breath”, pretty up the “front gunt”, and manicure the “gash” before you slip on those “acid washed jeans” and head out the door. Discover who was NOT “an official KISS character”, learn how to streamline your vacuuming schedule, and prepare to JOIN US on the most double entendre laden podcast in metal “where dreams can come true” with MAKE-UP IN METAL.

Ep 313#312 SLAYER CHRIST ILLUSION Album Review
E“When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…and then he does it again…” August 8, 2006, marks the first SLAYER album in 16 years featuring Dave Lombardo behind the drum kit with CHRIST ILLUSION, their 10th studio album and their first since the release of God Hates Us All on 09/11/2001. With the original classic lineup in place and artist Larry Carroll’s trademark macabre album art, CHRIST ILLUSION represents a true return to form for the thrash veterans, effectively picking up where 1990’s Seasons In The Abyss left off. Prepare to understand why the concept of “Uncanny Valley” has become exponentially creepier with the rise of artificial intelligence, discover which track is officially “the title track” and which one sounds like “a Taco Bell combo meal” for Slayer fans, realize that “Nickelback’s not that bad…they’re right up there with Creed” and get ready to enjoy some “sex noodles” when you JOIN US as we try to overcome our “Slayer Arrested Development (which is S.A.D.)” with CHRIST ILLUSION.

Ep 312#311 OZZY OSBOURNE – IN MEMORIAM
E“It’s strange to think about a world without The Prince of Darkness…” It all started on February 13, 1970, with the ominous sounds of chapel bells, thunder, and pouring rain, and it all ended with an emotionally charged, worldwide downpour of tears from fans across the planet on July 22, 2025, the day that OZZY OSBOURNE, The Prince Of Darkness, bade this world farewell and passed into eternity. Ozzy, for many metal heads, represents “the “beginning” of the heavy metal journey. With a “creepy and unsettling” voice that sounded like no one else before or after him, he was, for all intents and purposes, “the first and the last” of his kind in metal, helping to lay the foundations for the countless heavy metal subgenres that would follow and spawning legions of metal heads that would loyally follow him across multiple generations. Get ready to “quit dick-docking around” for a little bit because it’s time to JOIN US as we “bless that man & bless that band” and pay tribute to the man who helped birth “the most powerful genre of music in the world” as we salute and bid a fond farewell to The Prince Of Darkness with OZZY OSBOURNE – IN MEMORIAM.

Ep 311#310 2nd Albums BETTER or WORSE than the 1st
E“Careful back there…” Generally speaking, an artist’s DEBUT ALBUM will often be quite good, while their SOPHOMORE ALBUM, in contrast, will often be far more advanced, sophisticated, and light years better than the first, in terms of song writing and overall production. While this is more often than not the rule, there are some notable exceptions. As with asking a parent with 2 kids “which one do you love more?”, sometimes the answer is obvious, and other times it’s “not even close”. And in the instances where dissenting opinions clashed, the resulting debate may have impacted the feelings of others “forevermore”. It's time to “go get your mom” and bear witness to some “Gonz Bozonders” as we discuss the blockbuster movie magic behind “Shark Week” and prepare to “show no Morrissey” with regard to “butt scissoring” when you JOIN US as we try to determine whether various metal artist’s second albums are BETTER OR WORSE than their first.

Ep 310#309 – Sabbath: BACK TO THE BEGINNING
E“There were some heroes and there were some zeroes…” BACK TO THE BEGINNING, the final concert performance by the O.G. lineup of BLACK SABBATH featuring Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Ozzy Osbourne (along with an all-star roster of top shelf rock & metal artists) was held at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England on 05/07/2025 (that’s July 5th, 2025 for people in the United States) and raised nearly $200 Million for charity. While BACK TO THE BEGINNING will go down in heavy metal history as “The Live Aid of Metal”, it also represents a significant turning point and an emotional marker for metal fans from all over the world who came to pay homage and bid a celebratory yet poignant farewell to the Founding Fathers of Heavy Metal and The Prince Of Darkness. Ladies, prepare to comprehend why Pantera playing Sabbath songs at a Zeppelin tribute is as much a faux pas as “showing up to a funeral wearing a bridal gown”, gentlemen, understand how Slipknot’s Sid Wilson is an absolute genius when it comes to remembering landmark dates with that special someone, and as for everybody else, break out your assortment of relaxers and various modalities of twanglification and JOIN US as we celebrate Sabbath, Ozzy, and all things metal with our take on BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

Ep 309#308 GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG
E“If you’ve got a whole room full of 10’s, that’s the 5…” We’ve all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch. Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it’s not like it doesn’t belong” on the album. Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?” Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker’s favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.

Ep 307#306 GOD IN METAL
E“I’ll take your ‘Lord of This World’ and raise you ‘After Forever’…” From “The Moses story” to “the shortest verse in The Good Book” to one of the creepiest spoken word intros in all of metal which references end time prophecy, the impact of GOD IN METAL can be found everywhere, no matter how subtle or obvious, positive or negative. Whether it’s an album cover, a band’s name, a song, or even direct Biblical scripture, there are endless references to GOD IN METAL across all genres of heavy metal, and we barely even mentioned Christian metal.

Ep 306#305 SUNSET STRIP DEATH MATCH: METAL HEALTH vs OUT OF THE CELLAR
E“If they’re not fat, they’re soft…” Think back to The Sunset Strip and the emerging metal scene of the early 80’s, full of sleaze, shred, and riffs, long before the emergence of the “serious glam” and “serious thrash” of the mid to late 80’s. METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR, released in 1983 and 1984, by QUIET RIOT and RATT (respectively) both preceded the hair metal movement of the late 80’s and ironically (to a great extent) helped to define it. While both METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR were “more metal than we thought”, each album has its share of pros and cons, with some tracks drowning in 80’s nostalgia that sound a bit dated by today’s standards, and others possessing a far more timeless heavy metal quality that still holds up and sounds awesome even today. It’s time to “purse the lips up a little bit” and grab the attention of those who smell like “Aqua Net and Marlboros” that are wearing the “bustiers and leopard skin spandex” who just want to “use the bathroom”. Discover the shared traits which “vegans and wizards” have in common, find out why squirrels are “deadass” the dumbest creatures on earth and why some birds are “a little bit touched”, go ahead and submit your early enrollment for “Juilliard Speech School” and get ready to do some “edging” to try and replicate “the weird feeling” you had when you were 10 when you JOIN US for the SUNSET STRIP EDITION of our HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATHMATCH featuring 2 of the greatest debut albums in the history of early 80’s metal, METAL HEALTH by QUIET RIOT and OUT OF THE CELLAR by RATT.

Ep 304#303 MACHINE HEAD: BURN MY EYES Album Review
E“It’s like the Sam Kinison meets Bobcat Goldthwait of dogs…” Bridging the gap between the thrash metal of the late 80’s and early 90’s and the tidal wave of groove metal that made landfall in the metal community during the early 90’s (courtesy of Pantera), MACHINE HEAD came screaming out of the gate on August 9th, 1994, with their blisteringly crushing debut, BURN MY EYES. Filled with brutally heavy riffs that occasionally blur the lines between thrash, groove, and even death metal, BURN MY EYES marked the continuing expansion of the next “next” wave of thrash and groove metal. Discover the not-so-subtle ways that “Rod Roddy and Johnny Olson” have impacted this podcast, find out why “speaking in cursive” is not always helpful, and remember that not everybody gets to be “Charlie Chaplin”, even though you’re already more than “halfway there” whenever you “solemnly swear”. Realize that “Phil Dremel and Robb Frynn” go back a few years, prepare to experience “SepulPanThrera”, and behold the impact that “writing with 7’s” can have on riffs when you JOIN US for the MACHINE HEAD debut that helped further the evolution of thrash and groove with BURN MY EYES.

That’s right, 6 years of metal discussions, ludicrous nonsense, and beers of the episode, and what better way to wrap up our 6th year in podcasting excellence than with STEEL PANTHER, the parody band that helped make 80’s hair metal FUN again, with every hyperbolic metal cliché you can think of that makes them the epitome of everything that made late 80’s hair metal so awesome. If S.O.D. is thrash metal with a generous side of hilarity, then STEEL PANTHER is quite obviously their hair metal counterpart.

Ep 302#301 THE METAL DAYS OF YORE: OUR FORMATIVE METAL YEARS
E“You’ll be divorced, alone, and flaccid…” Let’s go back a few years, back to a time when we were young and impressionable and just starting out on our respective metal odysseys as fans and purveyors of all things metal, including (but not limited to) the hard rock of our childhood years in the late 70’s to the plethora of NWOBHM, thrash, and other classic metal bands we discovered during our teen years in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Back to a time when wearing a newly purchased tour shirt from a show the night before to school the next day was a sacred badge of honor, a time when local bands gave out flyers for shows that included “treasure map” style instructions for locating the venue, and a time when we each had our own personal attaché case containing the cassettes we’d recently procured (or otherwise came into possession of) on our unquenchable thirst and unending quest for anything and everything metal. Imagine what “Miss Piggy with laryngitis” might sound like and remember to never do people dirty, because just like Pepperidge Farms, karma remembers.

Ep 301#300 THE INSTRUMENTAL.... CHRONICLES
E“If anything, it’s three 7’s…and one of them has a line in the middle…” This episode is effectively “nonverbal” in that it contains zero lyrics and is truly beyond words (so to speak). That’s right, it’s all about INSTRUMENTALS and it just so happens that they come in a wide variety of styles and options. On a studio album, INSTRUMENTALS are 7enerally either lon7er, extended, standalone musical arran7ements, or brief interludes which serve as a brid7e between two son7s. In a live scenario, INSTRUMENTALS are a 7reat opportunity that allows the vocalist time to take a brief break and enjoy some “ori7ami” and poon while the rest of the band continues to jam. Either way, INSTRUMENTALS offer instrumentalists a chance to express themselves musically in a way that truly transcends the power of the written word. Be sure to radically adjust your expectations whenever someone says “I’m gonna send you a file” and prepare yourself for a macrodose of happiness that is sure to transpire, especially if your brain “has to fix it” (and particularly if you “want it from the train”). JOIN US for an episode that defies all rational explanation as we master the art of WRITING WITH 7’S: THE INSTRUMENTAL CHRONICLES.

E“I know who you’re talking about!” So, we did a thing… After almost 6 years into this podcast, this is the first time we’ve ever done a BREAKDOWN of a single track, and what better way to kick things off than SLAYER’s ANGEL OF DEATH, which is without question “one of the most perfect thrash metal songs EVER written” and also just happens to be the killer opener on one of the most perfect thrash metal albums ever recorded, the Rick Rubin produced legendary 1986 masterpiece, Reign In Blood. Time to relive the memories of yore, including the joys of “lunchtime and slimy fingers”, and decide whether or not you will be joining “Team Hot Pocket or Team Snooch”. Prepare to comprehend what “abacinate” actually means and understand why it is so horrifying in context, realize that “Manghoul” isn’t phonetically accurate but does make a gruesomely fitting nickname, and discover the reason why “time doesn’t matter and isn’t important” when you JOIN US as we go BEYOND THE BREAKDOWN into the essence of everything that makes ANGEL OF DEATH “one of the most perfect thrash metal songs EVER written”.

Ep 297#296 DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER Album Review
E“One’s a dude, right? I want the one that’s NOT the dude…” DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER, the 3rd studio offering from southern fried doom lords DOWN, has a very 70’s centric feel from start to finish. From the songs and the production to the album cover, OVER THE UNDER might just be the most 70’s influenced and 70’s sounding DOWN album ever recorded. Time to fire up the “bowrider” and begin preparations for “The Dockside Sessions” coming later this summer. Discover why knowing the difference between a succubus and an incubus is critical when it comes to certain forms of somnia, remember that if you’re learning guitar to always focus on your “fingering technique”, behold some outstanding metal from Australasia that’s very “throaty”, and just accept the fact that “I don’t know where they could have put it where I would have liked it” when you JOIN US as we take a trip through the heavier side of the 70’s with DOWN III: OVER THE UNDER.

Ep 296#295 - METALCORE
ESummary: “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 metal for a new generation of metalheads who want to enjoy a little bit of everything all at once. Be sure to stop “adulting” and remember that “when people lose their argument, they shift their whole stance”. Realize the darker connotations of saying “I did a thing today” and understand that Cory Hart wears his sunglasses at night because it’s terrifying to be “blinded by the light”. Get ready to ponder the entertainment value of a “scientifically accurate Spiderman”, brace for some quality “decoction” bloopers from the cutting room floor of “Transition Hospital”, accept the fact that there are still some folks who believe “a non-tattooed 6 is way hotter than a fully tatted 10”, grab yourself “a hot pocket” and JOIN US as we sample the smorgasbord of modern fusion metal known as METALCORE.

Ep 295#294 WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR BON SCOTT
EWE 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 “after-tang” from “snooch smooching” is a lot like “when you’re used to the black and you get the green”. Brace yourself for our upcoming “Metal Nerdery apology tour” with a stop in “Australasia”, embrace the presence of the “Ghost of The Bunkerpoon”, and prepare for a story with a cast of characters that can only be described as “The Reverse Oreo”.

Ep 294#293 METALLICA Death Magnetic Album Review
E“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 released right after …AJFA. They brought back all of the classic elements (including their iconic logo!) that made METALLICA awesome to begin with and more than made up for their “Angry Loads” era. Remember to always send back the “medium rare chicken tenders” and if you’re using a ride share, make sure to be hammered on at least one part of the journey. JOIN US for a brief review of a recent local metal show featuring Atlanta’s own Embering Effigy at Sweetwater Live in Duluth (as well as a summary of the “aftermath” that followed), remember that “the Loads of Anger” are always at the bottom, and behold the victors of “The Loudness Wars” with METALLICA’s 2008 return to their thrash metal roots, DEATH MAGNETIC.

Ep 293#292 1995 Year in METAL
EIn 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 Gary Holt’s incredibly popular line of outerwear. Meanwhile, in the world of 1995 metal, Kyuss called it quits shortly after releasing “…And The Circus Leaves Town” and DOWN unleashed their debut masterpiece “NOLA” on the EXACT SAME DAY that Dream Theater released their first EP featuring their 23-minute epic title track, “A Change Of Seasons”! Get ready to find out what a “Coyote Disaster” actually sounds like, be mindful that when it comes to playing music in a live setting, some of us can play “topless” and some of us need a “sports bra”. Hear our thoughts regarding the upcoming “Back To The Beginning” final Black Sabbath concert event, listen carefully for a handful of not so subtle “R.E.M. references”, learn “how to scream at people in Braille”, and brace yourself for the record scratch heard ‘round the world (after embracing your “Patreon privilege”) when you JOIN US to find out “how they all talk” as we travel back in time to THE YEAR IN METAL – 1995.

Ep 292#291 PENTAGRAM Lightning In A Bottle Album Dive
EAfter 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 and the greater metropolitan global meme universe. LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE truly measures up to the meaning of the phrase, with PENTAGRAM doing the impossible and finally breaking through to a worldwide audience. With their trademark dark, doomy, and heavy sound finally produced in a way that captures the dark essence of classic doom with the amplified power and brutality of more modern doom metal bands, LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE might just be PENTAGRAM’s finest hour, resulting in one of the greatest (and most fun) doom metal albums in the entire genre. Be sure to stop by your local “Snooch & Gooch” and pick up some “rental snooch” and remember that there’s a significant difference between “man coon balls” and “Maine Coon paws”. Discover how the transcendental power of hearing Sleep’s “Dopesmoker” at a local tavern can manifest the “best Friday ever”, remember that snails are just slugs with a “tow behind camper shell”, prepare to “pet the horn” and get “a little tingly down in the nether regions” and JOIN US for a modern taste of classic doom from Alexandria, Virginia doom metal innovators PENTAGRAM with LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE.

Ep 291#290 DARK ANGEL - Inside The Metal
EFormed 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 it comes to old school thrash, those guys “got a LOT to say” and a very short time in which to say it. Enjoy a spirited debate regarding cover songs relative to the originals that was 100% “from the heart”, learn more about the benefits of “The Express Package”, and don’t forget to “microwave your melons” after you JOIN US as we learn more about the technical thrash genius of “The L.A. Caffeine Machine”, DARK ANGEL.

Ep 290#289 PRIMUS - SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE Album Review
ESAILING 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, orchestrated, atonal, guitar noise that’s always a tad off, and lyrics covering a vast array of peculiar and unusual topics, ranging from promiscuous cats to reckless race car drivers to weird time signatures to sheer luck, SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE is one of those recordings that every metal head with a well-defined sillier side (and a “sophisticated palette”) must possess. Grab a handful of relaxation and enjoy “a positive Applebee’s experience” while also noting that this is our 2nd PRIMUS episode featuring a story about Applebee’s (seriously, what are the odds of that happening almost 3 years later!?). Discover the reason McDonald’s is diabolical and why it’s exactly like something else that’s “not even the same ballpark”, understand that it’s perfectly okay to have “different tastes” with regard to entertainment shown “in slow motion”, and brace yourself for a first time Steve Harvey impression that morphed into a Katt Williams impression that was followed by an even better, more impressive Katt Williams impression when you JOIN US as we gear up to go snorkeling through the caverns of queso while SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE.

Ep 289#288 SLIPKNOT Album Review
E“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 horror movies and nightmares, featuring all nine members clothed in red prison jumpsuits with their faces covered in grotesquely disfigured masks: nameless and faceless, with only a number and a barcode to identify them. Find out more about the latest government study regarding “the medical benefits of bat vagina” and remember that “you’ve never seen Al Gore and Paul Stanley in the same place”. Discover who knows “how to use the phone”, put on your “Salad Face”, and be sure to “liberate bananas” when you JOIN US as we dive into the angry, uncomfortable darkness that is SLIPKNOT.

Ep 288#287 WTF Moments in METAL
EAs 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” you too can become a part of our Patreon community (regardless of whether you are “an innie or an outie”). Be absolutely sure you “don’t say dropped” when referring to a new release, realize that “coughing is a sign of health”, and understand that “a hand solo” still counts as sex when you JOIN US for a look at some notable WTF MOMENTS IN METAL.

Ep 287#286 FLOTSAM & JETSAM - DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER Album Review
EDOOMSDAY 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 without question, a speed/power/thrash/heavy metal classic that is so steeped in 1986 vibes that we’re actually surprised none of the album was featured on “Stranger Things”. Learn the latest metal conspiracy theory regarding AJFA with a shocking twist nobody saw coming, discover a great new way to “get in shape” with the brand-new aerobic workout craze that’s sweeping the nation, get ready to enjoy the “tang” and JOIN US for the only “first new album” featuring Jason Newsted with a killer bass mix as we take on DOOMSDAY FOR THE DECEIVER.

Ep 286#285 Women In Metal
EFor 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 jam it in” and JOIN US as we get into a “double header” with a whole lot of modern metal brought to you by WOMEN IN METAL.

Ep 284#283 TOP 20 METAL ALBUMS OF 1985
E1985. 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” because 40 years is quite the chronological landmark. Nevertheless, we still felt compelled to construct our own list. It’s not necessarily all thrash, but it’s not all “gloves of shame” either. In short, it’s a pretty substantial sampler of the albums that WE feel represent everything great about metal in1985. It’s time to shake off those “cobwebs” and prepare for some “extraordinary news” as well as “a story of redemption and forgiveness” regarding a previous negative review we received. Learn about the earliest documented “fake news” regarding Elizabeth Bathory’s alleged use of “skin conditioner” and get a sneak preview of the new album from “Dick Johnson & The Ball Brothers” when you JOIN US for the TOP 20 METAL ALBUMS OF 1985.

Ep 283#282 - Deep Cuts of the First Four from The Big Four Part 1
E“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 Four albums of EACH of The Big Four thrash bands. Be sure to check out our Patreon for a brand-new way to “splat” with some “liquid sneeze” and remember that when it comes to Conway Twitty, “the power was in his hair”. Don’t forget to pick up your “Queenthrax” tickets, find out why “English is stupid”, and get ready to JOIN US (whenever you get a little “DOWNTIME”) as we begin our descent and dig down deeply into THE BACKSIDE OF THE FIRST FOUR OF THE BIG FOUR.

Ep 282#281 - Ozzy Diary of a Madman Album Review
EDIARY 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 emerged from 1981. Get ready to “call the lawyers” and prepare to be bathed “in a huge spray…of light” from those who may engage in “different tax practices” than you’re accustomed to. Prepare to bear witness to the quintessential heavy metal album that would leave an indelible mark on all metal subgenres that would follow it, grab your favorite “juice box”, and JOIN US as we flip through the pages of macabre madness and metal mayhem that dwell within the DIARY OF A MADMAN.

Ep 281#280 - 2024 YEAR END WRAP-UP
EIt’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 eerily unsettling, and our “Spotify Wrapped” referenced one episode that was “508% more” impressive than average. Get ready to break out the “chunkless gravy”, embrace the “Dick Flex” theme of the episode, wish everyone a Merry Christmas (and Happy Boxing Day) and JOIN US for our 2024 YEAR END WRAP-UP, including a few goodies and surprises from INSIDE SANTA’S SACK.

Ep 280#279 - HAIR METAL
EJust 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 again”. Really, the entire objective of hair metal was to give actual metal heads an “in” to attaining money, drugs, and (especially) poon back in the day. Dust off your “gloves of shame” and get ready to “rip the band-aid off” and “power through it” because it’s time to “hold hands”, discover some “stall appropriate noises” for the next time you’ve got to “deuce” and JOIN US as we get into the good, the bad, and the horrific of HAIR METAL.

Ep 279#278 DIO Last In Line Album Review
E“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 is absolutely NO WAY anyone was listening to Bing Crosby ANYWHERE in 1984! Yet, in 2024, it is still a perfectly plausible concept and is totally socially acceptable to be blasting THE LAST IN LINE while riding around, “shooting hoops”, or annoying everyone while fueling up at the gas station. Remember that the investment in hibachi is always worth it (because it’s delicious) and everyone could use “a good tongue lashing” on their birthday. Discover “the sound of Murray” after he’s clocked out for the day, understand that “the gloves are off”, realize “you’d only feel guilty if they name checked you in the note” and get ready to “repurpose the DEA” when you JOIN US for a dive into some classic D&D metal with DIO: THE LAST IN LINE.

Ep 278#277 WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH
EWE 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 Metal History (’81 to ’87) episode from 2020, our Obscure Thrash episode from April 2021, and the most recent, our Thrash Family Tree episode from January 2024), we just decided to dig into our collective memory banks and pull up the bands and the tunes that help to make us feel more alive…sort of like the feeling “when a breeze blows past your bone”. Similar to the above referenced thrash-centric episodes, the majority of the songs we discussed are by old school thrash bands we grew up with, many of which have “grown up” themselves and are still crushing, destroying, and head banging away to this very day worldwide. Also note that, unlike We Sold Our Soul For Sabbath, this is not our version of a “thrash greatest hits” album (although it could certainly qualify as part of a multi-volume “Best of Thrash” box set). There were no repeats, and a few surprise choices that would have made us wet ourselves had we had access to it back in the day. There’s no voting, there’s no ranking, we’re simply indulging in one of the greatest genres of metal ever to exist. Prepare to behold another horrifying example of “vomit cuisine” after fixing yourself a heaping helping of “ham salad”, discover why “newd” is better than “all dressed” (especially when it comes to “slider buns”), learn why “the head game” is a good barometer for “the main course and the dessert” and worry not, because this episode is (for the most part) NOT “gonna end up being about roast beef sandwiches”. Get ready to embrace your inner thrash bone and JOIN US for a dual named episode with one unified purpose, because since WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH we are offering up to you our 2nd Installment of BUILDING THE PERFECT THRASH ALBUM.

Ep 277#276 TOOL Ænima Album Review
EAENIMA, 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” experience. You may recall that we did an album dive of this many, many moons ago, right around the time of the COVID pandemic, during the “B.R.” period. It was a Metal Nerdery two-some, it was done over a Zoom call, it was definitely weird, and it was the only time we ever “did it” with only “two thirds the nerds” (it’s episode 38, released April 2, 2020, btw. You’ve been warned). Always remember to reach “Finger…knuckle…elbow…and shoulder deep inside the borderline” in order to properly clean out and prepare for your upcoming “analectomy”. Prepare to enjoy “The BALLS of satan” (“Und keine eier”), enjoy some reflections regarding ample “shoulder tits” that were shown “at a bar”, and a bunch of assorted “piss hockey snot” associated with “where rich people live (and eat) in Atlanta”. Be advised that “white people rapping is kinda like girls talking about football” and remember that a hilariously, weird threesome is always better than an unfunny, awkward twosome. Happy Turkels to all, enjoy some “Harry Manbackshadowing” reflections, revel in the infinite comedy genius of Bill Hicks and JOIN US as we strive for redemption with a full power threesome and dive “colon deep inside the borderline” with TOOL’s AENIMA.

Ep 276#275 - 1992 THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD
E“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 podcasting. Get ready to “grow your nails out and play with your hair”, go fix yourself an “egg salad, deviled ham, and pimento cheese” sandwich, discover the source of funding for every internet troll’s “childhood Christmases”, and prepare to “Make America METAL Again” when you JOIN US for a trip back in time to THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD: 1992.

Ep 275#274 - CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 1994 masterpiece, DELIVERANCE
E“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. Get ready to “make it bigger” and go “busking in New York and/or Helsinki” because it’s high time we end all the world’s problems after you JOIN US for some “Halloween Candy ASMR” and an abundant assortment of silliness as we dig into COC’s DELIVERANCE.

Ep 274#273 CONCERT REVIEW - KING DIAMOND & OVERKILL
EOn 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 “from South Carolina” through Atlanta traffic to get to the venue and the start time of the show was far earlier than we expected, as opposed to back in the day when it was “doors open at 8, show starts at 2:30 am”. We have an “UPDATE” from a previous episode regarding “every married man’s fantasy”. It’s time to give some serious thought to the “health trade-off /upgrade dilemma”, because “you know what they say about the 39-year-olds” (“the younger they are, the better they taste”), which is exactly why “you’ve gotta work out and stay in shape” as you get older and JOIN US for a review of KING DIAMOND’s Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 promotional tour (in support of the upcoming new studio album, “The Institute”), featuring OVERKILL and NIGHT DEMON, and find out why it will be worth every penny.

Ep 273#272 TYPE-O-NEGATIVE: INSIDE THE METAL
E“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 only with regard to the world at large but also with the quality of this podcast as well. Having said that, we felt that discussing more TYPE-O-NEGATIVE made perfect sense, as their catalog (and our podcast) is all about “thickness and girth.” HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!! It’s time to put on your “platfoam shoes” and get ready to r-r-r-r-r-roll your R’s while trick or treating with “Tom Johnson” during our “pre-Chronicles Chronicles” Halloween event in the Bunkerpoon Dungeon. Remember that “Summer’s Eve” is not the same as “Summer Breeze”, discover the proper way to prepare “a handheld” and JOIN US via the “Interdimensional Bunkerpoon Portal” as we go (BACK) INSIDE THE METAL (AGAIN) with TYPE-O-NEGATIVE.

Ep 272#271 - KING DIAMOND Metal Master of the Macabre
E“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 progressive power metal soundtrack that have been scaring the Hell out of audiences for nearly four decades (even longer if you count his time in Mercyful Fate). There can be no doubt that he is THE premier horror metal storyteller of all time, “The KING” if you will. When in doubt, always remember The King Diamond Paradox: “King Diamond IS Mercyful Fate AND Mercyful Fate IS King Diamond!!!” Get ready for a bit of trivia regarding the music video for “The Family Ghost” and find out which former heavy metal haunt in Atlanta was legitimately (actually) haunted. Understand that it’s always better to go with “a super smart 6 than an ultra dumb 9” because without adequate brainpower, there’s “no bone movies” (especially if she insists on “using her teeth every time”). Discover “the worst part about being married”, pay tribute to the “chili dog queen” and JOIN US for a trip through the gruesome tales of twisted horror from the mind of Hvidovre, Denmark’s metal master of the macabre, KING DIAMOND.

Ep 271#270 GHOST - INSIDE THE METAL
E“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 hypnotic aesthetic to GHOST. With music containing powerful melodies & catchy hooks and lyrics incorporating a liberal infusion of “the devil stuff” (not to mention the eerie imagery, including a satanic pope and several Nameless Ghouls), listeners may experience a “flavor clash” from the resulting sonic incongruity as the music of GHOST is “kinda happyish but their lyrics are the exact opposite.” Before engaging in anything remotely fun (especially if it includes a third wheel), be sure “the math is right” ahead of time and remember that the formula is “half your age plus 7” (either way). Go ahead and crack open a can of “coconut key lime pie” and understand that even though we may have to “Ixnay on the Its-tay”, realize that Baphomet definitely has some “strong C’s” and JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with the mysteriously mesmerizing sounds of Linkoping, Sweden’s GHOST.

Ep 270#269 - HALLOWEEN 2024 SUPER SPECIAL
EUpon 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 possible. Halloween season conjures thoughts of misty mornings, the enjoyment of fresh greenery, and visions of vast landscapes filled with leafless, haunted trees towering high above a multicolored blanket of fallen, lifeless leaves. In addition, the Halloween season helped trigger numerous discussions regarding the creepiest songs from the greatest bands throughout the entirety of the metal spectrum as well as some thoughtful “vampire adjacent” meal prep for when Vlad just wants to get out of the city and go camping in the woods for the weekend. Get ready to “put on a Russ mask and take one for the team” and prepare to behold some spooky on-mic burps that made the cut along with a hefty portion of “bone-in” comedy gold resulting in the enjoyment of “roast beef sandwiches on the beach”. Discover “the ultimate vampire song”, break out that good “adult” Halloween candy (the kind that Trick or Treaters will NEVER be fortunate enough to receive), and be sure to pay homage to “Macho Pichu” before you JOIN US for our 2-hour HALLOWEEN 2024 SUPER SPECIAL.

Ep 269#268 STONER DOOM METAL VOL. 7: THE SEARCH FOR DOOM
E“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 different, then WHAT is the difference? In short, both Stoner AND Doom metal trace the source of each of its respective origins back to Black Sabbath, with each possessing an arsenal of crushing riffs, tuned down guitars, and slow, heavy, trudging tempos. But if there were a single distinction to draw the line between these two subgenres, then that line has to be within the lyrical subject matter, as shown by the following logic*: IF drug references, THEN stoner metal. IF not, THEN doom metal. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of Nerdery off shoots, including the forthcoming (as yet to be started) “Angry Matt” podcast, prepare for our upcoming “Bon Jovi album dive”, stick around for our sandwich segment on “Sandwich Nerdery”, including a rant-filled accusation against a former sandwich giant who was wrongly accused of wreaking gastrointestinal havoc with their “muffalotta” and JOIN US as we attempt to get to the heart of the matter at hand with STONER DOOM METAL VOL. 7: THE SEARCH FOR DOOM *While we’re well aware that this is not an exact science and our logic may seem a tad “dirty sloppy”, it’s the best we could do given the circumstances.

Ep 268#267 - Alice Cooper Rob Zombie and Shock Rock
E“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! Whether it’s spitting blood, breathing fire, or doing an onstage duet with a boa constrictor, the key to really selling (and properly enjoying) SHOCK ROCK is the actual concert experience itself (because THAT is what sells records…or used to anyway). And what better and more convenient way to illustrate this point than with a brief concert review of the ALICE COOPER/ROB ZOMBIE show that recently came through Atlanta on “Friday The 13th Eve” during the Freaks On Parade tour stop. Just remember, “you gotta question, we’ve gotta answer for you”, because we’re like “The Alex Jones of Metal” which means that this show is extremely “professional done”. Fix yourself a “duck sandwich” and prepare for some unexpected (and “unredacted”) Triangle outtakes along with some unbelievably stunning “suddenly science” factoids that you won’t want to miss when you JOIN US as we enjoy Russell’s Reflections (Concert Edition) regarding the ALICE COOPER/ROB ZOMBIE co-headlining show and dig into the unsettling, off-putting, and spine-tingling nature of SHOCK ROCK.
