This week we’re discussing every album by the Marked Men. Formed in the early 00s, the Marked Men are heavily inspired by first wave, late 70s punk (most notably the Ramones). While they are certainly much faster and more aggressive than those bands, their sound fits right in with that entire era. Fun and energetic, but don’t expect any surprises.

This week we’re discussing Fat Chance, the latest album by nose rock duo mr. phylzzz. Made up of Clinton Jacob on guitar/bass/vocals and Danny Sein on drums, mr. phylzzz won over the boys last year with their album Cancel Culture Club, which made Mike’s Best of 2022 list. This time around they’re split, as Fat Chance shows the band noticeably expanding their sound. Dig it.

This week we’re discussing every album by Jonathan Fire Eater. Known for influencing the post-punk revival of the early 00s (which spawned bands like the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Jonathan Fire*Eater only had a brief existence before singer Stewart Lupton became addicted to heroin, spiraling the band into chaos.

This week we’re discussing VOID, the latest album by extreme noise rock band KEN mode. This is both Mike and Alex’s first time hearing KEN mode and they’ve since become instant fans. VOID is truly devastating, but with no shortage of great hooks and beautiful melodies. All fans of heavy music simply must hear this band.

This week we’re discussing every album by the infamous Mayhem. While they are known for pioneering modern black metal in Norway, most people know them because of their horrific, bloody, and disturbing history. Seriously, if you’re unfamiliar, grab some popcorn before you listen. Formed and led by Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) until his murder by then bassist Varg Vikernes (of Burzum) in 1993, Mayhem continues to put out great albums with various lineups. However, they are held down by longtime drummer Hellhammer and bassist Necrobutcher. This band’s music is as intense as their reputation, so get ready.

This week we’re discussing every album by the one and only Ween. Made up of Gene and Dean Ween (real names Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo), Ween is one of the most impossible bands to pigeonhole. Garage rock, funk, folk, hard rock, tropical, pirate sea shanties, prog rock, psychedelic—this is only a taste of all the styles these guys frequently hop between. And they do so with complete sincerity and unmatched songwriting. A one of a kind band.

This week we’re discussing SAVED! the debut album by Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, formerly known as Lingua Ignota. We’ve been fans of Kristin Hayter and Lingua Ignota for years (both Caligula and Sinner Get Ready were Mike’s albums of the year at their times of release). But Hayter has moved on to a whole new project and aesthetic, which revolves around old southern gospel. If you’re familiar with Hayter’s work, you already have an idea how disturbing it is. This ain’t an easy listen, so get ready.

This week we’re discussing Ram, the brand new album by Wheeler Walker Jr. We’ve been fans of Wheeler back when he was just Ben Hoffman of The Ben Show. But he’s since adopted the brilliant, foul mouthed, outlaw country persona of WWJR, putting out awesome country records. Ram showcases his first stab at rock. And let’s just say we hope you like ZZ Top.

This week we’re discussing every album by stoner metal pioneers, Sleep. No band in existence has paid tribute to Black Sabbath and cannabis more than Sleep. Made up of core members Al Cisneros (Om) and Matt Pike (High on Fire), Sleep is as brutal as they come. Sleep’s Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker are both legendary metal albums that will beat you down while simultaneously ripping a bong.

This week we’re discussing Mutants, the newest album by Mutoid Man. Led by Stephen Brodsky, who many should know from Cave In (among many other side projects), as well as his guest appearances with bands like Converge (not to mention his role on Two Minutes to Late Night), Mutoid Man is one of the absolute most fun metal bands around. Blending elements of countless metal subgenres, as well as 90s video game and cartoon nostalgia, Mutants is one of the coolest albums we’ve heard from this year. Catchy, diverse, expertly performed, and charming as hell. Give it a shot.

Closing track: “Setting Sun”
