Metal Nerdery Podcast

It would seem that the hour (and a half or so…) is upon us. As of the date of the release of this episode, we here at Metal Nerdery HQ 33rd Floor I.B.P. Studios (and really, EVERYONE in the greater metropolitan multiverse) will be “officially” unofficially (or “unofficially” officially) celebrating the 30th Birthday of METALLICA, METALLICA’s eponymous 5th studio album affectionately known here at Metal Nerdery HQ (and EVERYWHERE throughout the world and other dimensions) as “THE BLACK ALBUM”. Go ahead and call in your to-go orders for Ron’s limited edition marinated Wolf Steak*, fly your Gadsden Flag high while you “AC/DC the house”, and give your special someone a much needed, “long-distance dedication” before you JOIN US as we celebrate the album named for the band that has become one of the most powerful forces in all of Metal and the entire known universe (“…which we so proudly HAIL!”) Metal Nerdery Podcast** salutes: METALLICA. *** *COTLOD Blvd. location only **If we’re being real, this might be Metal Nerdery Podcast’s BLACK ALBUM episode…or not. ***We’re all thinking it, so let’s go ahead and put it out there: This is basically Metallica’s “Exciter” moment.

Tony Iommi’s opening cough solo on BLACK SABBATH’s 3rd release (1971’s MASTER OF REALITY) signaled the “Big Bong”, (the creative “spark”, if you will) that would become the “seed”, the “budding” genesis of ALL Stoner Metal. It’s our 100th episode, and what better way to celebrate our “elevation” into the realm of triple digits than to “inhale” BLACK SABBATH, Vol. III (or “MASTER OF REALITY” in case you weren’t following the bouncing balls. Or ball. Or whatever it is that’s bouncing that you definitely weren’t following because you’re “baked-not-fried”). To celebrate our landmark 100th episode, Metal Nerdery invited a special guest to JOIN US at our 33rd Floor Bunkerpune Inversion Studios to commemorate the album that bolth Matt Pike and Marc Potterson “jointly” hold in the “highest” regard possible (and they’re not being “blunt”, either).

Imagine the following scenario: you are one of the most powerful names in all of Thrash and are tasked with releasing a follow-up to your own unmatched, game changing, genre defining, masterpiece. Do you: A: do what’s “safe” and duplicate what you’ve already perfected (*yawn*)? OR B: continue to evolve and expand your sonic palette by changing your approach? Thankfully, SLAYER went with option B, toning down the sonic chaos and breakneck speed of REIGN IN BLOOD with darker, slower, heavier riffs and an even creepier lyrical vibe. JOIN US as we interview Kerry King’s beard (just kidding; his beard couldn’t be reached for comment) and immerse ourselves into the brooding and sinister evilocity of SLAYER’s sophomore Def Jam release, SOUTH OF HEAVEN.

Metal Prophecy states that TB4 (The Big 4) made a pact with TAI (The Almighty Iommi) to unite like some ginormous Voltronesque Thrash Beast for the furtherance and advancement of Thrash (and really, ALL Metal, but mostly, REALLY Thrash) to a new frontier (or perhaps even “a new level”, you might say…) of unheralded, unmatched power. The prophecy required that each of TB4 release an album of their latest and finest work during the same designated Gregorian based calendar year: 1988. 1988 was THE year of The Big 4 (are you (KK) kidding? That’s “not even” (KK) up for debate!), THE rise of “the next wave” of Thrash (ummm (KK) Testament, (KK) Forbidden, (KK) Death Angel MUCH!?), and THE dawn of a “new” Pantera (that’s right…OUR (KK) PanterA!!!). Subtract 3 decades to reach TAOTBA (The Age of The Black Album), subtract another 3 years to reach TAOTAMP (The Age of the Aforementioned Metal Prophecy) and then solve for the variable of WHY the words “Bon Jovi” were EVER uttered within our 33rd Floor Bunker P00n Inversion Studio airspaces before you JOIN US as we embrace the year of the audiogasm in Thrash (and also “other” Metal) and celebrate the YORL (Year of Our Riff Lord) in Metal that could only be 1988!!! *KK=This post made proudly bland courtesy of Kancel Kulture and the wreckless censorship of mouth farts in print (aka “WORDS”). Just kidding, it’s those kuss words (mouth farts) that hurt their feelers. This is just dumb, passive-aggressive nonsense that has nothing to do with the original post, but we thank you for reading onward. Please, Go Listen…Metal Nerdery Podcast is on ALL platforms wherever podcasts are available and its actually way funner than reading, although there are also show notes available that you can read along to, too, that are often mystical, hilarious, and even insightful (assuming you can read. If not, find someone who can read to you for you.) Yeah, we’ve planned for everything!! (And you’re also welcome, btw.) Oh yeah, THANK YOU for listening!!! It means an awful bunch. And if you could send us some relaxers through the gum app, we’d appreciate it. #TallDenmarkian is the account. Don’t worry, Lars already knows what’s up. Thanks. We hope you enjoy the show.

Purple and Orange. While it might sound like the name of some evolutionarily engineered super strain of relaxers, purple and orange perfectly describes the chromesthesia generated by the sound of "VERTIGO", the 50th anniversary tribute to Black Sabbath's crushing 1970 self-titled debut and also the first new album by ZAKK SABBATH. Fire up those black lights & lava lamps, roll another bowl of whatever relaxerole best suits your mood and JOIN US as we embrace the purple and orange sonic bliss generated by the most powerful and tangentionally authentical Black Sabbath tribute band in the entire multiverse.

For the year that gave us dial-up internet, Global Positioning System satellites, and "Seinfeld", 1989 gave us an equally legendary year in Thrash (and that's including Metallica's absurd Grammy "loss" to Jethro Tull.

The San Francisco Bay Area is a sacred place in thrash, birthplace to many legendary (and muchly important) thrash bands and equally lauded (which means muchly awesome) thrash albums. FABULOUS DISASTER, the 3rd release from Bay Area Thrash Lords EXODUS is, without question, very muchly one of those albums. And EXODUS is, also without question, also very muchly one of those bands. In fact, this may be one of THE MUCHLIEST thrash albums of 1989 (more on that later…muchly more). Go ahead and get your orders phoned in for Ron’s signature Emerald Triangle Jalapeno Relaxers (they’re muchly delicious), pop the above-mentioned cassette in the tape deck of your low rider on side 1 while you channel your internal Cheech-energy and JOIN US as we salute one of the finest moments of late 80’s-era thrash in existence.

“We’re MOTORHEAD and we play rock ‘n’ roll…” -Lemmy Kilmister. It has been said that if you go to the Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood, sit down at the bar, and order a Jack & Coke, the spirit of LEMMY KILMISTER will manifest as a cloud of cigarette smoke and tell you to get out of “his spot”. For over 4 decades, MOTORHEAD pummeled fans with their abrasive, uncompromising brand of metal fueled by speed, attitude, and vice, firmly securing their place at the base of the foundation that helped shape the burgeoning New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. “…and don’t forget the joker.” -Ace of Spades Time to pour yourself a Jack & Coke, assemble whatever relaxers you have that pairs well with a Jack & Coke, ante up for Lars’ gum app and JOIN US as we sample a tiny swath of the vast back catalog of the mighty and powerful MOTORHEAD (warts & all).

THE SWORD is truly a blessing. Blending the crushing heaviness and urgency of their own cutting-edge brand of doom metal with the cosmic feel of classic 70’s style prog-rock, THE SWORD has carved out their own place in the pantheon of modern metal. Set your relaxer levels to “wormhole” (don’t make it weird), check out the name of The Rib Lounge’s new house band (it’s actually even weirder than “wormhole” if you can believe it, although you’re probably still stuck on “wormhole”) and JOIN US as we time travel through the multi-verse to sample but a slice of the doom-prog metal genius of that little old band from Austin.

After grunge all but sucked the life out of thrash while at its zenith in the early 90’s (I mean, it “didn’t”, but it also kinda “did”, y’know?), the landscape had been forever altered and “thrash metal” as we previously knew it had been forever transformed, now with greater attention to groove, swagger, and swing (and let’s not forget those sublimely sick breakdowns! HFS!!!). While still employing the same rifftactical utility belt genius he used in his former band VIO-LENCE, thrash master ROBB FLYNN updated his first wave thrash palette with the groove and raw attitude of the day to forge his own aggro-groove-thrash creation with MACHINE HEAD, blazing a path forward into the “next wave” of American thrash like a welder’s torch set to 11. There’s a reason the number 6 is important (you’ll soon find out, much to your chagrin), but first you’ll need to phone in your order for Ron’s Signature Pork & Jalapeno infused relaxers (call now!) and JOIN US as we sample the aggro-thrash goodness that is MACHINE HEAD.

Behold, the frosty arctic tundra that is The Great White North. Also known as Canada, or as geography enthusiasts sometimes call it: "Extremely Northern North America". If the endless snow packed landscapes and brutal arctic frigidity of The Great White North have taught our Canadian friends anything it's how to stay warm by utilizing the power of Metal. Seriously, don't deny the permafrost melting, aurora generating power of Canadian Metal. It's time to put on your tuque, phone in your order to The Rib Lounge for the family sized portion of Marc Emery's "special" poutine infused relaxers and JOIN US as we sample but a wafer-thin sliver of the abundant Metal offerings created by our upstairs neighbors next door (and/or our next door upstairs neighbors) as Metal Nerdery salutes the Metal of Canada.

Certain names in Metal are uttered in hushed tones of reverence, as if belonging to godlike, super-advanced creatures from other dimensions. Such respect and reverence are deserving of genre defining prodigies and artists who are often light-years ahead of their own time. In this instance, we’re referring to The Riff Lord Wizard sent to further evolutionize Metal to yet another level of genius rifftactical badassery: Enter (and HAIL) CHUCK SCHULDINER. “The Godfather of Death Metal” helped spawn an entirely new genre of metal, blending all of the best elements of progressive and thrash metal while simultaneously intensifying the technicality, musicianship, and profound, thought-provoking lyricism (already inherently part of bolth genres) with beautifully precise craftsmanship and flawlessly executed production. (And to think, at the time, we just thought it was the next wave of Thrash…Nope. This was CHUCK SCHULDINER. This was DEATH. THIS was the dawn of Death Metal!) Grab your train-whistle and blow off that morning meeting (really, you’ll be better once you’re fully relaxerized and caffeinated anyway), because after you phone in your order for Ron’s signature Nacho Relaxerole you’re gonna wanna JOIN US as we talk about the multi splendored genius of CHUCK SCHULDINER and DEATH.

PANTERA is one of the few bands to raise the bar consistently and continuously with each album. THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL is the most “everything” Pantera album. It’s easily the angriest, heaviest, darkest Pantera album EVER and is, most indubitably, the “kick in the jimmy” that the Metal world was in dire need of in the mid 90’s after grunge and alternative music effectively “declawed” Metal and turned it (for the most part) into some watered down, tame, “domesticated” shadow of its former self. JOIN US as we celebrate the obnoxiously abrasive audacity that is Pantera’s 8th studio album and see if you don’t feel transcendentally relaxed & refreshed afterwards (trust us, you will).

“Among their own kind they live, a life that’s so obscure…” – DEATH. The thought of anything obscure with regard to Thrash immediately provokes thoughts of the Mall Days of Yore; a time before the existence of internet search engines, music streaming services or even social media bots to recommend bands or albums based on prior purchases. A time when word of mouth within the Thrash community held sway over a metalhead’s purchasing power. “Blurred visions, sanity obscure…” - BELIEVER So many hours spent, flipping through ALL of those records, tapes and CDs in the Metal sections of every record store, looking for that one band…that one album. That one obscure, impossible to find recording you’ve only heard others talk about with the utmost reverence as if it were something sacred (because it was). And then, as if guided by providence, you find it. You can’t believe your luck. There it is… JACKPOT! Break out your old denim jacket (the one with all the patches on it), put on your favorite tattered concert tour shirt (it was black; it’s probably gray by now), phone in your order for Ron’s Special Srirachacybin shroom kabobs and JOIN US as we mosh our way down memory lane and revisit some of the greatest, most obscure thrash bands that you’ve likely never heard of but most definitely should have.

Tony Iommi’s opening cough solo on Black Sabbath’s “Master of Reality” was the clarion call for a new KINE of Metal. The KINE of Metal that smells like Sleep’s jam room. The KINE of Metal that is overflowing with stony, doomy, fuzzy goodness. Yeah, man…we’re talking about Stoner Metal…dude.

With the advent of the NWOBHM and the IRON MAIDEN (aka: the genre definers; they’re bassically the Black Sabbath of NWOBHM), the Metal landscape was starting to take on a different dimension; with increased aggression, speed, and heaviness (musically and lyrically) while simultaneously weaving in twin guitar harmonies, a greater sense of melody, prog-rock style orchestration and arrangement to create what can only be described thusly: IRON MAIDEN!

“The power of the RIFF compels me. . .” DOWN. Ever since The Almighty Iommi first blessed the world with his glorious presence vis-à-vis Black Sabbath in 1970 (and through the incredibly prudent use of the tritone), RIFFS have been continuously evolving throughout Metal, becoming ever more ambitious, grandiose and complexicated with ever increasing precision, evilocity, and gravity punishing heaviness. RIFFS are the essence. RIFFS are the hook. RIFFS are the core (ha-ha) fundamental building blocks of ALL Metal, with likely as many RIFFS in the known Metalverse as there are stars in the known Universe. And NO, that’s NOT “science” or astronomology or whatever, it’s just a fact. (Plus, or minus a few billion trillion…) In summation: without RIFFS, there would be no Metal! Go ahead and call Ron at The Rib Lounge to place your food order (he’s got TRL Dancers doing drive-by-deliveries now. Also, be sure to check out TRL’s “Cosmic Dessert” menu for Ron’s signature Chocolate Relaxer Implosion Rum Cake) and JOIN US as we taste but a sample of the myriad of uniquely phenomenal RIFFS that make up the wonderful world of Metal we inhabit.

In our quest for all things Metal, we decided (perhaps somewhat extremely erroneously) to delve deeper into the myriad of potentially possible genres, subgenres and “cores” that exist in the realm of Metal. Since there are just too many to mention and account for (with perhaps even MORE “cores” being generated as we speak), it’s WAY easier to just call this EXACTLY what it is: MEME CORE!! Time to double-up on your relaxer regimen, call that conspiracy theory “friend” you met at Wacken (he’s that dude with all the colored yarn, post-its, and thumbtacks) and get The Rib Lounge Dancers to help connect all the Meme-Core dots after you JOIN US on our perusal through the seemingly endless volumes of Meme-Core Lore (of Yore).

It feels like being back in the basement, rehearsing a set for an upcoming gig. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, one of the first things you learn is how to play someone else’s songs. Covers. There is not a Metal band in existence that has NEVER played cover songs by their favorite artists at some point in their careers. The awesome thing about covers is the “interpretation”, much in the same way a chef may “interpret” a particular dish (let’s say fried chicken; wow that actually sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Or maybe a fried chicken burrito? HFS, I think I’m a genius, as that too also sounds delicious! Follow me for more subliminal messages regarding food. Oh yeah…sorry (ahem)) ‘an artist may choose…’ In 3…2…1…), an artist may choose to replicate the song precisely or “reimagine” the song, making it completely something of their own “vision”. BOLTH of which we here at Metal Nerdery enjoy with immensely commensurate gratitude. What we’re saying is we dig covers. Muchly. Grab another handful of units of your favoritist relaxer, turn on the “OOO”, get ready for The Rib Lounge Dancers (on Zoom) and JOIN US in for our Cover-to-Cover Coverage of Metal Covers Covered…or just Metal Covers, Vol. II.

We’ve all been there. We all remember our first-time. Metallica’s haunting, 1986 thrash metal magnum opus MASTER OF PUPPETS (or “MOP” for the acronym lovers) was, is and will continue to be (evermore) “one of those albums” that will forever affect you to your core. It doesn’t matter if it was yesterday or 35 years ago, EVERYONE has a MOP story! It’s “one of those albums”: exquisitely (and brutally) transcendental in every facet of its creation, construction, and production. It’s “one of those albums”: each listen reveals something new to the listener that was somehow unknown before, thereby completely changing the listening experience altogether going forward. To sum up, MOP is “one of those albums” because it is, quite simply: Sublime. Tell your supervisor you’ve got a headache, double up on your preferred relaxer (they’re good for headaches) and JOIN US as we dive into one of the most critically important albums in all of Metal: Metallica’s Master of Puppets.

“Terminal, what disease?…” Anytime Overkill’s 1989 Thrash masterpiece “The Years of Decay” comes on (henceforth also to be known in the realm of Metal Nerdery as “The YOD”, pronounced like nod, not like yode), IMMEDIATELY you can hear neon green and visualize an omnipresent, crazy, winged, bat-skull (or is it skull-bat?) flying through the entirety of the sonic landscape, like Overkill’s own quality control. “I’ve learned to deal with the absurd…” “The YOD” was the pinnacle of Overkill’s sound during the late 80’s, streamlining and further refining the East Coast Thrash sound they had developed over their three previous albums to create not only one of the finest albums of their career but also one of the finest albums in all of Thrash Metal! No one articulated the sheer attitude, aggression and general New Jerseyan irritation and angst of the 80’s quite like Overkill. All summed up in a single, succinct directive; a kind of “single finger salute” if you will. (If you know, you know…). “Last one out closes the coffin door…” It’s time to prepare your “pre-game” relaxerole regimen (try it with an orange this time), put the bats back in their belfry, turn on the black & green black-lights and JOIN US as we dive headfirst into The YOD and explore its multi-faceted majestic thrash splendor.

“Sooner or later, everything old is new again…” – Stephen King While we here at Metal Nerdery feel that ALL Metal is important and plays a part in the grand design of the Metal Multiverse, our favorite is Thrash, and many of the favorite bands of many of our favorite bands were all part of The Movement In Metal That Became The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (or NWOBHM for short. Or “technically” TMIMTBTNWOBHM for long). “Well see what happened was…” - Laryngitis Oldritch So, let’s break it down: the Thrash Metal bands of the 80’s (the most well-known being Metallica) picked up the torch from the original NWOBHM bands of the late 70’s and early 80’s (the most well-known being Iron Maiden) to create the Original Wave of Old School Thrash Metal (OWOOSTM, or simply: Thrash). We’ve already sampled some of the New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal (NWOOSTM), which is like a reimagining of the OWOOSTM aesthetic. So now we’re pleased to sample some of the NWOTHM (which, if you’re doing the math correctly, seems like it should technically be relabeled the New Wave of NWOBHM…or (ahem) NWONWOBHM). “Let me shut that for you!!!” Bobby Ellsworth Set your relaxer levels to “Time Travel” and JOIN US as we sample some of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) bands that are reimagining the original NWOBHM sound, style, and aesthetic (and also album artwork) for the 21st century Metal consumer who loves nostalgia.

“WE’RE GONNA DO A NUMBER NOW. . .” For anyone who has ever heard OZZY OSBOURNE perform live in concert, you already KNOW! And in the unfortunate event you do NOT already know, let’s just say you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Metal Nerdery Concierge. “DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE OLD FILLMORE EAST???” After leaving Sabbath in 1979, Ozzy embarked on a legendary solo career that would further expand the audience, fan base, and genre that the “Prince of Darkness” had helped to co-create and build during the 70’s with Black Sabbath. “WHADDYA WANNA HEAR!?” Ozzy’s solo career during the 1980’s marked the beginning of a NEW kind of Metal sound, one with a more mainstream appeal but with enough of Ozzy’s special brand of over-the-top, chemically infused lunacy, showmanship and metal madness; making him THE poster child for ALL of the excesses of the 80’s (doves…bats…ants…Wait, ANTS!?) “ALL YOU PEOPLE…” JOIN US as we tour through the 1980’s back catalogue of one of THE most iconic and critically pivotal artists in ALL of Metal, as Metal Nerdery celebrates the 1980’s solo career of one OZZY OSBOURNE.

“Look inside of yourself, you might see someone you don’t know…” – DIO. Anytime someone utters the name “Ronnie James Dio”, almost immediately one is transported to another dimension ruled by magic and fantasy; a place where wizards conjure spells and help angels to protect the castle from the dragons of the realm with clean tigers and shiny diamonds. “Ride the carousel and cast a magic spell…” – Rainbow. Throughout his career, whether it was with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath or his solo band, RONNIE JAMES DIO always supplied a generous dosage of magic, mysticism, and fantastical medieval imagery to Metal, describing (with sublimely, diametrically opposed metaphors) the mysteries and lessons of life that we must face, like dragons that must be slain and conquered in order for the kingdom to survive and thrive. “So, bring an exorcist, a wizard and The Holy Ghost...” - Black Sabbath. Call your D&D friend down at the Help Desk and order some more relaxer, crank up the black lights, grab your sword and a charm blessed by a virtuous witch and JOIN US as we sample the catalogue of one of the most powerful, distinctive, and legendary voices in the whole of the realm of the Kingdom of Metal.

Okay, lead guitar players, gun slingers, virtuosos, et al, LISTEN UP!!! This is YOUR episode!! When you have a podcast about Metal Nerdery and 66% of the Metal Nerdery staff are guitar players (that’s 2/3 if you can Math good) and the guitarists decide to go down the rabbit hole regarding the art of shredding and overall lead guitar wizardry & sheer solo shreddery, you KNOW things are going to go off the rails in the most shred-tactical way possible. You’re going to want to double your normal relaxer regimen as we went kinda long with this one (you’re welcome for that, btw). Turn off your workstation (“work” is subjective anyway), prepare your double bowl of relaxerole (with a lime) and JOIN US as we pay homage to guitarists who give us the gift of insane guitar shreddery.

There’s a saying that “the best revenge is living well”. Well, someone forgot to give Dave Mustaine that memo. Because as far as we can tell, Dave’s “best revenge” was to form Megadeth, a band assembled with a very specific mission: to be faster, darker, snarlier, and MORE technically proficient than his previous band from which he’d been unceremoniously sacked (that means “fired from Metallica without warning” in Americanese). Megadeth’s sophomore slam PEACE SELLS…BUT WHO’S BUYING? is a razor-sharp refinement of the “revenge” originally presented on “KILLING IS MY BUSINESS…” only with greater vitriolic commentary and exponentially greater virtuosity and musicianship (that means “Dave Mustaine needs a cape!”) Block out your afternoon (just tell the boss you’ve got a “client meeting”), roll another bowl of your favoritest relaxer and JOIN US as we dive into Megadeth’s PEACE SELLS…BUT WHO’S BUYING? and try to better understand what Dave was trying to convey with his specific rhetorical questioning (which translates to “Whaddya mean ‘Whaddya mean?’” in Mustainese).

As you will recall, we wrapped up 2020 with a trip back to 1985. Of the MANY masterpieces that were released that year, Anthrax’s SPREADING THE DISEASE (or “S.T.D.” for short. Don’t deny the power of acronyms. L.O.L!) had a markedly different sound than the other 75% (that’s 3…) of the Big 4; full of hooky, memorable melodies and a gracious super-sized order of Crunchy Ball Riffs that far exceeds the “normal” Recommended Daily Allowance of Crunchy Ball Riffs that are ESSENTIAL for optimal Thrash Metal enjoyment and overall well-being. Go ahead and put your “Out of Office” notification on (because nobody else is really working anyway), roll another bowl of your favorite relaxerole (because…do we really have to tell you!? NOT! C’mon man…) and JOIN US as we dive into Anthrax’s “S.T.D.”; an album that has proven to be essential listening for anyone and everyone wanting to understand how important this album and Anthrax as a band were to the developing sound of what we NOW refer to as the Original Wave of Old School Thrash Metal (OWOOSTM).

There’s an old proverb that says: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. No matter which realm of Metal it refers to, that’s music to our ears! Because (supposably), to quote David Lee Roth: you can’t get that stuff (“that stuff” in this case, being Old School Thrash Metal) no more. But thankfully, DLR was WRONG! Because you CAN get that stuff yes more, thanks to an acronym that your humble Nerderers stumbled upon in our quest for greater Metal knowledge: The New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal (Or NWOOSTM for short. And YES, it is just as awesome as it sounds!). New Thrash bands playing Old School Thrash Metal with modern day production quality. Put your meeting on mute, roll a big, delicious bowl of relaxerole and JOIN US as we sample some of the offerings of this brand-new genre of glorious Thrash Metal that we’ve recently discovered.

1986. The Highlander. The Challenger. Reign in Blood. One of THE most critically important years in Thrash history (and honestly, I would argue that for ALL Metal, but as Russell would say: I digest). Thanks to the glorious excess of the mid-1980’s (Thanks Reaganomics and cocaine!), metal fans were treated to some of the finest, most incomparably superb moments in metal history that would likely NEVER be bested. Period. You know what time it is!

There’s something downright mysterious about DOWN II. Something about the vibe of the album sounds like it was recorded and produced by Roger Bain in some haunted, abandoned church in an alternate dimension during the early 1970’s and then teleported back to 2002 for a boost in production value and loudness thanks to the generous spell of a wizard who loves Metal. But that’s not what happened. No, there was something else that amplified and enhancified the mystique presented on DOWN’s sophomore effort DOWN II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow. Something more organic, more natural, and even more mystical and powerful than interdimensional teleportation and wizards: The swamplands of Louisiana, home to NODFERATU’S LAIR! JOIN US (in an alternate dimension. Yeah, you’re gonna need a LOT of relaxers…) as we dive into the 2nd DOWN album and marvel at their uncanny ability to create the most delicious Skynyrd Fried Sabbath Crunch Casserole (with Riff Gravy) platter you’ve EVER experienced in your life.

I awoke on December 8th and felt a little “off”. It felt heavy. Oppressive. Like a spiritual hangover. And then I remembered why… 16 years before was the day that we would forever mourn the loss of one of THE G.O.A.T.’s of Metal’s current generation: our modern-day Riff Lord that we know and love (and HAIL!) as Dimebag (Diamond) Darrell, or simply: DIME! DIME was a force to be reckoned with in Metal, he could do it ALL! Killer intros, killer riffs, killer solos…what’s NOT to LIKE!? ALL Killer, NO Filler! It’s the ONLY way that dude rolled. So tell your boss you’ll be “meditating” for the next hour or so (technically that’s true), fix yourself a Black Tooth Grin (or eight; whatever feels right for you), slice & dice & roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer (because why wouldn’t you?) and JOIN US for this edition of Metal Nerdery’s Memorable Moments in Metal with DIME as we listen back to some of the highlights from his career with Pantera and discuss some of our favorite moments of “Power Metal Magic” (sorry. Okay, I’ll turn it off now…) from our favorite thrashtastical power groove shredder from Texas.

Back in the day, there were certain criteria on the back of every cassette and compact disc that were critical to ensure that the piece of thrashtastical goodness you were about to consume was WORTHY of your entertainment dollar. One of the most important criteria to look for was the record label. Back then, the independent record labels were what really helped to launch the entire Thrash Metal movement and community, thanks in large part to the power of networking (we’re talking pre-internet, pre-Black album kinda networking here). You would know within a fraction of a second if the album was of quality or not. If it said COMBAT Records anywhere on it, there was no question: it was DEFINITELY quality, and DEFINITELY worthy of your investment. So go back through your old cassette tape and compact disc collection, put on one of your old black tour shirts from high school, roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer and JOIN US as we talk about COMBAT Records, their recent rebirth, and go through some of the COMBAT roster from back in the glory days of Thrash (as well as check out some of the new COMBAT artists).

Sometimes you have to be reminded of history to understand bolth where you come from and why things are the way they are today.

We did it again; we kept it loose (which was, like, totally awesome, but whatever…). We had initially intended on targeting 1985 Thrash Metal but as it turns out, there was an absolute abundance of killer metal albums from all across the metal continuum released during 1985 that went beyond Thrash, so we decided to include those as part of the discussion as well. So go roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer, pretend your laptop and cell phone don’t exist for the next hour, fire up the DeLorean and JOIN US for a look back at Metal from the Year of our Riff Lord, 1985.

So, we apologize in advance for lying. We were “planning” to pick our respective Top 6 Favorite Fucking Slayer Tracks. One problem: it’s REALLY hard for us to nail down our personal “Final Six” Favorite Fucking Slayer tracks, because quite frankly, it’s Fucking Slayer. Which means that we could do this episode in a million different ways in a million different multiverses across a million different dimensions and they would ALL be unique. And they would ALL be awesome. Because they would ALL have one thing in common: (you already know…) FUCKING SLAYER!! Having said that, we DID try to nail down what we’ll call the “rough draft” of our respective Top “Final Six” favorite FUCKING SLAYER tracks. As usual, anytime we’re talking about FUCKING SLAYER, you KNOW it’s gonna be a good time. We did actually get into the logic that would ultimately drive our Top Favorite Final Six, but if we’re being honest, it kinda turned into an orgy of Fucking Slayer. (I know, right? Guess what? There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. Ever! In ANY dimension or multiverse!! Especially THIS one!). So turn on your “out of office” notification (technically, that’s NOT lying), roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer (“work/life balance requires more life and less work”), maybe throw in a few shots of fun (just for fun, and just because) and JOIN US as we try our gosh darndest to construct our list of our Top “Final Six” Favorite Fucking Slayer tracks. PLUS, enjoy the complete left turn we took later in the show that still managed to tie everything together and stay 100% within the acceptable realm of relative tangentionalalityismness as it relates to bolth this particular episode ass swell as The Mighty and Powerful Fucking Slayer.

Akka Dakka. If you’re from Australia, then you already know what this means (and are probably shocked that more people don’t know what this means). If you’re NOT from Australia, then you know them by their non-Aussie moniker: AC/DC (and now, through the magic of reading, you know the meaning of BOLTH!). On this episode, we’re discussing Side 1 of AC/DC: The Bon Scott side. The beginnings of a band that would forever change the landscape of Rock and Metal with high-energy, killer riffs, face melting guitar solos and Angus Young’s nearly perpetual headbanging (which is enough proof to confirm that AC/DC is, without a doubt, METAL!!). Prepare your favorite relaxer, “Power Up” (Sorry, I couldn’t help meself) and JOIN US as we talk about the band from “Down Under” that brought a new kind of swagger, sleaze, and BALLS (Big ones too!) to the pantheon of Heavy Metal.

One thing this merry band of Metal Nerderers will agree on: we LOVE us some Black Sabbath! And with fall being the quintessentially ideal season for Sabbath (and with Witches Night right around the corner), we felt it was the perfect time to jump deep into the ultra-creepy end and get into the brutally heavy modern day classic that really freaked people out a half a century ago in 1970 (!): Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”. Anytime we get to talk about Black Sabbath, it’s always a good time! It’s the fall, so take a get-ready pill, prepare your favorite relaxer, shut out the rest of the world for a while while you enjoy said relaxer and JOIN US as we head back to 1970, back to dark wood paneling and orange shag carpeting and back to a time when the darkest, heaviest metal band on earth was about to completely change the game with an album that would go down in history as one of the finest (if not also one of THE most critically important) moments in ALL of metal.

We here at Metal Nerdery live by a few “rules”: Our Trust is in Black Sabbath and Slayer, Pantera was the Metallica of the 90’s and some songs, albums AND/OR bands simply CAN’T BE LOUD ENOUGH!! (sorry, that’s the text representation of turning everything up to 11 and SCREAMING IN CYBERSPACE!). We were all over the road and had a lot of fun with this one and dug into all kinds of incredible tracks that need to be ‘LOUDER’ (isn’t it obvious?). We actually got into some really obscure, old school thrash stuff, some super obvious classics that CBLE and some newer stuff as well (and perhaps even stuff that, while not “overtly” Metal, most definitely belongs on the CBLE lysticle). So, enjoy your favorite relaxers, put on your headphones, OR put in your earbuds, crank that volume to 101 and JOIN US for Volume 2 of Metal Nerdery’s Can’t Be Loud Enough series.

“Where were YOU when you heard the news…?” No one will EVER forget the day that Eddie Van Halen left this world. And the reason we will never forget is because Eddie Van Halen CHANGED this world in such an incredibly profound (and incredibly METAL) way that he can only be described as unforgettable. There have been many copycats and imitators over the years, but to paraphrase from The Highlander: “There Can Be Only ONE Eddie Van Halen!” JOIN US as we pay tribute to the GREATEST, most innovative and un-orthodoxically BRILLIANT guitarist to have ever blessed music: Mr. Edward Lodewjik Van Halen.

Pantera had a gift for outdoing themselves with every song and every album. Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly be any heavier, they come around the corner and prove you wrong. FAR BEYOND DRIVEN, Pantera’s 3rd release (post Power Metal) blends the intensity and thrashy groove of Vulgar with the aggression and brutal heaviness of Trendkill. (No wonder it went to Number 1!!!) JOIN US as we dive in, talk about the tracks, the production, the heaviness and the vulgar vulgarity that we all know and love courtesy of the metal band that OWNED heavy music in the 1990’s.

Back before corporations acquired (and systematically destroyed) rock radio by playing the same 10 songs on perpetual repeat into the dirt, radio disc jockeys used to actually have some control over their “playlists” and would sometimes throw on a song that wasn’t a normal rock radio favorite: maybe something that wasn’t a “hit single”, or something for which there was no “music video”; something longer, something unusual, something off the beaten path: we call these Deep Cuts. That’s what us Metal Nerds call “The Good Stuff”. And when it comes to Black Sabbath, it’s ALL Good Stuff!!! There’s just one problem: because WE THE NERDS here at Metal Nerdery are already so intimately familiar with what shall be henceforth known as “The First Six”, it was kind of a challenge for us to each pick our favorite 6 deep cuts from The First Six Black Sabbath albums. There were a few that overlapped on our respective listicles but we tried to go as deeply as we could to give those of you who are only familiar with side 1 of ‘Paranoid’ a nice sampling of what we call “That GOOD Sabbath”. JOIN US after you’ve finished your bowl (of breakfast cereal) as we discuss our favorite “deep cuts” from our favorite first 6 albums by our favorite First Godfathers of Metal, Black Sabbath. Also check out our live stream of this episode on our Facebook page and find out whether or not Russ will show his “Man Tetons” on Facebook.

One of the key components of classic thrash during the glory years was riffs; namely “how many can you fit into one song?” (sort of the same logic used in many of today’s finer adult motion picture feature presentations). Sabbat answers that question: ALL of them!! This was new territory for some of us as we weren’t as familiar with Sabbat back in the day and didn’t have access to it (though it if we did, we would have certainly bought it). JOIN US after you fix your favorite relaxer and cancel the rest of your afternoon as we dive into Sabbat’s Dreamweaver and talk about the story, the plot, the riffs and that creepy ass careless demon whisper.

It’s Vol. 2 of our 4 Vol. Metal Nerdery Stoner Doom Metal Sampler Series. We found some more incredible Stoner Doom Metal tunes “after the smoke cleared” from our last Stoner Doom Sampler Vol. 1 episode and of course “we wanted to share” with you the “bounty of our harvest”, because everything is better shared between “a couple of buds”. Clear your calendar for an hour or so, turn on the black lights and the lava lamps, roll another bowl of your favorite relaxer and JOIN US as we “collectively” squint and cough our way through to enlightenment “together” and revisit some classics and check out some surprises and rarities that we felt we needed to share “for the greater good” of all that is Metal.

Often in life, we don’t discover the truth about something until it’s too late. And the truth about Powertrip is that they are an anachronistic anomaly in Thrash Metal: yeah they may have come to power in the late 2000’s and 2010’s but they would sound right at home in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s era of Thrash Metal that we hold so dear. Sadly, some of us are only just now discovering the band for the very first time upon learning of the unfortunate and untimely passing of Powertrip frontman, Riley Gale. So, prepare your favorite relaxer, raise a glass, raise your horns, and JOIN US as we honor Riley Gale and Powertrip and their phenomenal contributions (thus far) to the mighty pantheon of Thrash Metal.

Ahh, 1987. Before Bob Rock and The Black Album were even imagined, before Metallica cut their hair and gave us multiple LOADS, there were “The Garage Days”. After the devastating and tragic loss of bassist Cliff Burton in 1986, Metallica had to find a suitable replacement bassist to help the band continue forward on their quest for worldwide Thrash Metal domination. Enter Jason Newsted. Enter some new blood. Enter Night… (Wait, it’s too early for that…we’re not there yet, so let it keep ringing out, just let it ring out. Okay turn it off now). So JOIN US after you prepare and consume (and prepare and consume some more of) your favorite relaxer and block out some (most/all) of your day as we go through the cheapest and arguably one of the best Thrash Metal EP’s ever released: Metallica’s Garage Days Re-Revisited.
