“You’re not supposed to swallow it…but it’s fine to have it in your mouth.”

Whether it’s the debut from Metal Church or Dream Theater, or the swansong from Slayer or Pantera, TERRY DATE is undoubtedly one of the most prominent and prolific producers, engineers, and mixers of metal music to have blessed the ears of metal fans for more than 40 years.

Get ready for “a little origami”, remember that cross walks exist “for health reasons”, and discover why it’s better to not be “on the boat” during a thunderstorm if astraphobia is an issue.

Check out our accidental album dive that was riddled with “Dysfunction” and discover just how many outstanding albums got left out of our discussion thanks to the “different tastes” of some of us.

Behold the hilarity of “Dealer’s Choice”, realize that “Episode 300 will be ‘The One’ (it’s gonna be a mindblower)” and JOIN US as we go BEHIND THE BOARD with our METAL PRODUCERS SPOTLIGHT on TERRY DATE.
