Ep 118118: Some Old School Thrash

E

It’s time to break out your old jean jacket (the one with the patches and buttons), head to the mall to hand out flyers for your next show (wait, do malls actually still exist?), brace for the imminent tsunami of “Olan Mills” style Thanksgiving pictures arriving on Black Friday (fun fact: “Olan Mills” roughly translates to “Uncomfortably Awkward”), discover which band is the “Galaga” of thrash (it actually makes perfect sense), and JOIN US for some premium, “South American Adult Entertainment” (technically, that’s not wrong) on this very special Thanksgiving Turkel Day spectacular as Metal Nerdery Podcast gives thanks for all things OLD SCHOOL THRASH.

Ep 117117: Metallica HARDWIRED…TO SELF DESTRUCT

E

November 18, 2021: Metal Nerdery Podcast releases an episode dedicated to HARDWIRED…TO SELF DESTRUCT on the 5th anniversary of this (double) album’s release and, coincidentally, on the 24th anniversary of the release of RELOAD (which represented the 2nd of “The Loads”, which was kind of a double album as well). Let’s just call November 18th “METALLICA Day”, to be filled with loads of positive affirmations. Prepare your wolf steak & “space lettuce wraps,” consider the subtle, stoner-doom presence found in “The Loads,” put some boom back in your boom, get ready for a whole lotta “YEAH!” and JOIN US as we dive into HARDWIRED…TO SELF DESTRUCT, the massive 10th studio (double) album from Bay Area metal titans, METALLICA.

Ep 116116: Knotfest & Inside the Prog Metal

E

Think of this episode as Metal Nerdery Podcast’s “double-concept-EP-hidden-bonus-split-album” podcast, with “double the content” (kind of…) of any of our prior episodes (I mean, not really…but also, definitely kind of…). Not only will you get the Metal Nerdery Concert Report featuring a review of the boys’ recent KNOTFEST experience in Atlanta, but you’ll also get, for a limited time* (again, kind of, but not really…but also again, …definitely kind of…) the latest installment of “Inside the Metal” as Metal Nerdery explores the deep layers of musical virtuosity, showmanship and complexity that fuels The PROG-METAL Try some time-release, relaxer infused “horseradish ranch” with your “Wolf Steak Prog Salad,” tune up those pianos & keyboards, get ready for an incredibly orchestrated “treadmill solo” that will transcend time and dimension in the face of multiple degrees of tangentionalality and JOIN US for a smorgasbord of PROGRESSIVE METAL after a brief review of the Metal Nerdery KNOTFEST Experience. *Limited time = however much time you have left before your battery runs out.

Ep 115115: Live After Death: Live Dive of Iron Maiden‘s concert masterpiece

E

As you might recall from one of our earlier episodes, the “live concert album” is not just a recording of a band playing in front of a LIVE concert hall audience: it’s a virtual concert experience. With that being said, IRON MAIDEN’s “LIVE AFTER DEATH” is arguably THE finest LIVE concert album experience in ALL of metal (if not in ALL of existence). Everything about it: the cover artwork, the tracks, the sound, and the unforgettable stage banter, transports you back to those LIVE shows during the Powerslave promotional “World Slavery Tour” of 1984-1985. Assemble your arsenal of pre-show relaxers and “micro Pringles”, “culmulate” your intelligence to determine what was in fact “not on the boat”, fire up the “beef-oven” for the tailgate, “something something pair of curtains”, and JOIN US as we embark on our very first ever “LIVE DIVE” and time travel back to 1985 with IRON MAIDEN’s concert masterpiece, LIVE AFTER DEATH!!!

E

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY (or C.O.C. “if you’re into the whole brevity thing…”) has continuously modified and improved upon the recipe for their heavy, hardcore, punk, thrash, doom, groove, metal infused gumbo to sound like one ginormous platter of Skynyrd Fried Sabbath deliciousness covered (nay, smothered!) in Riff Gravy.

Ep 113113: Inside the Metal: Type O Negative

E

Nothing ghoulishly screams October and All Hallows’ Eve quite like TYPE O NEGATIVE, the hard core, goth-prog-doom metal crossover giants hailing from Brooklyn, New York. In fact, the only thing greater than TYPE O’s uniquely gothic and unsettlingly creepy, green aesthetic was their ability to NEVER take themselves too seriously; something which we here at MNHQ 33rd Floor I.U.B.P. Studios fully support and highly encourage. Light a few candles for atmosphere, order a to-go-plate of Ron’s Large Jalapeno Infused Centerfold nachos (*), and take your bae for a moonlit, midnight dance in the graveyard after you JOIN US as we pay heed to the band who’s green, Sabbath-infused aura of everything doomy, gloomy and heavy perfectly complements everything woodsy, earthy and autumnal** that makes this time of year glorious for metal.

Ep 111111: Slayer Reign In Blood Album Dive

E

REIGN IN BLOOD (R.I.B.), the third full length offering by the mighty and powerful SLAYER, is quintessential Thrash perfection. It’s so sublime it’s practically one song with 10 distinct movements (think “Ten Degrees of R.I.B.”). It’s so superb that it can only be listened to from start to finish, front to back, in order. Period. Go ahead and hit up Smog Dog for some anti-relaxers to keep up during the sing-along, prepare the Goat Children cover models for guidance and JOIN US to rejoice and celebrate 35 years of the greatest thrash metal album ever, by the greatest thrash metal band ever, on the greatest thrash metal podcast ever* as Metal Nerdery Salutes SLAYER & REIGN IN BLOOD!!!

Ep 110110: Metal Soundtracks

E

There was a time when Movie SOUNDTRACKS basically sucked and the only thing that could make them even remotely palatable was the inclusion of a Metal band, really any metal band! (Obviously NOT Europe!). Thankfully, we now live in the modern age, where it’s not uncommon to see bands like Slayer and Pantera included on a moving picture soundtrack. (And as you’ll soon discover, bolth bands have actually been on several soundtracks, and actually on one together!!!) Time to corral your free-range “pre-steak”, find out the answer regarding “Greg’s” whereabouts, butter up the relaxer-infused jerky-flavored popcorn and get ready to JOIN US for some fuun, as we indulge in the “sultry sounds of nice” and stroll through the realm of METAL SOUNDTRACKS.

There’s entirely too much happening at Metal Nerdery’s 33rd Floor Inverted Bunkerpoon Studios!!! Just know we made liberal use of our speak-holes to discuss HELMET’s third album, BETTY, and the multitude of things we love about them/it (including a tangentional tie-in to Black Sabbath!).

Sometimes in life, it only takes ONE. ONE experience to understand everything. ONE move to win it all. ONE chance to achieve glory. And in the case of this episode, ONE was interpreted in more than ONE way! (ONE Ironically sarcastic sigh) JOIN US as we try our best to heed the message of Connor MacLeod (“There can be only ONE”) and stay in ONE lane while everything else goes off the rails.

Ep 106106: Suicidal Tendencies: The Overview

E

Practice talking about “Suicidal Tendencies” at all of your work, family and social events and see exactly how many people will absolutely lose their minds…at the fact that you actually are familiar with the S.T. and The Chief Sermonator, The Rev. MIKE MUIR of the Church of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES* (which, to avoid any further triggering, will be referred to henceforthian as “S.T.”*). Mark the time (to be “Lovely”), break out your skateboard (“Give It Revolution”), inhale a half pipe full of relaxers (“Clap Like Ozzy”) and JOIN US as we partake of the “Rib Lounge jalapeno smoked pasta relaxer**” sized “sampler” (again with the food references) of a band with multiple tangentional ties to The Big 4 who blended the aggression and intensity of hard core punk with early skate-thrash, creating their own brand of thrash metal with a most Righteous message (“…and you all need to hear it!”) *Sorry, we totally lied about that whole “triggering” thing earlier. You should know by now we’re just JOKING…about the triggering. We never joke about relaxers and chilling!

Ep 105105: Led Zeppelin: Overview

E

Since analogies are usually the easiest way to explain two things which are similar, think of LED ZEPPELIN as the Metallica of the 60s and 70s…kind of. As Metallica did with so many obscure NWOBHM bands and songs, similarly, LED ZEPPELIN co-opted the sound of their favorite obscure Blues artists to help forge a new, heavier brand of cockrockian sonic bliss never heard before in Rock’n’roll. Let the “Dogs of Doom” out to play, roll another bowl of Valhalla relaxers to celebrate Ragnarök Eve and JOIN US as we marvel at the legendary proto-metal behemoth comprised of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham and known collectively throughout the pantheon of Rock and Metal as LED ZEPPELIN.

Ep 104104: Shout at the Devil

E

By 1983, MOTLEY CRUE had cemented their legendary reputation as the most notorious heavy metal band on the Los Angeles Sunset Strip. The band’s sophomore release, SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, can be summed up as NWOBHM meets L.A. Glam with a generous infusion of decadence, debauchery and just a dash of the occult for good measure (because let’s face it: if it terrifies the establishment enough to put a “Parental Advisory” sticker on the cover, you know it’s GOT to be awesome!). Listen closely for the squishy sounds in the background and “always remember” to order up some Krell kabobs as you JOIN US for a heroic dose of the sleazy debauchery and hedonistic excesses of “The Caligula of L.A. Metal” as Metal Nerdery salutes the band and the album that made The PMRC Filthy Fifteen and scared the Hell out of parents everywhere!

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.

Ep 100100: Master of Reality Album Dive

E

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).

Ep 99099: Slayer South Of Heaven Album Dive

E

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.

Ep 98098: 1988 Metal and Thrash Albums

E

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.

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.

Ep 96096: Top 10 Thrash Albums of 1989

E

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.

E

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).

E

“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).

E

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.

Ep 92092: Machine Head Overview/Sampler

E

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.

Ep 91091: Canadian Metal

E

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.

Ep 90090: DEATH and the multi splendored genius of CHUCK SCHULDINER

E

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.

Ep 89089: Pantera The Great Southern Trendkill Album Dive

E

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).

Ep 88088: Favorite Obscure Thrash

E

“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.

Ep 86086: Iron Maiden’s Self-titled Debut Album

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!

Ep 85085: The power of the RIFF.. Metal Riffs that RULE Vol. I

E

“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.

Ep 84084: Do You Know Your Metal Genres and Metal Cores

E

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).

Ep 83083: Covers Vol. II - Metal and Thrash Cover Songs Volume II

E

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.

Ep 82082: Metallica Master of Puppets Album Dive

E

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.

Ep 81081: Overkill The Years of Decay Album Dive

E

“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.

Ep 80080: NWOTHM - New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal

E

“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.

Ep 79079: Ozzy Vol. 1: 1980’s solo career of OZZY OSBOURNE

E

“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.

Ep 78078: Ronnie James Dio

E

“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).

Ep 76076: Megadeth Peace Sells...But Who's Buying Album Dive

E

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).

Ep 75075: ANTHRAX Spreading The Disease Album Dive

E

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!

Ep 74074: #NWOOSTM - New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal

E

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. Happy NWOOSTM’ing Everybody!

Ep 73073: 1986 Year In Metal

E

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! It’s 2021: time to leave the polished turdity of 2020 behind you, assemble a various and sundry cornucopia of your favorite relaxers to be consumed however you feel most comfortable and JOIN US as we stroll through The Year of Our Riff Lord 1986.

Ep 70070: Down II Album Dive

E

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.

Ep 69069: Tribute to Dime

E

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.
