Keepin' it 5150

Shut up about brackets you demanded and we listened. Turns out there were some great records released in 2020, many of them only came to our attention when buried in other people's lists of albums of the year.

The pull back and reveal of the best ever metal song. But first the battle for who cares? Sixteen songs from various other sub genres are picked over to determine the best of the as yet unconsidered also rans.

Last bracket, we explore 16 songs from the stoner, groove and doom genres. It's pretty much all 90s. Why would you want it any other way?

Blast beats! Detuned guitars! Growled vocals! We put the internet's best 16 death metal and grindcore songs against each other in the third of our bracket-offs. Let's get into it.

Put on your giant hi-top sneakers, tight jeans and bullet belts, we're setting the dials to thrash. Sixteen of 'the top rated thrash songs of all time' (but mainly the 1980s) face off in our second bracket. Who will be crowned kings of thrash? Metallica? Slayer? Someone else? Obviously not someone else. Let's find out!

Sixteen of the best metal songs you ever heard blasting out of a Camero face each other down in the first of our bracket play offs. We go deep and dumb on what the internet says are the best 'heavy metal' songs.

We look at the top ten albums with the worst metal guitar tones according to the viewers of the Riffs, Beards and Gear youtube channel about 2 years ago. Because we bring you the freshest news here on KI Five One Five Oh.

The year is 1999 (I mean, not now, don't panic, aahh, be good though woudn't it? It wouldn't be 2020) so we get into the soundtrack of the year's most movie: The Matrix. Mainly out of our depth with a bunch of dancy house stuff but we muscle through it with our usual charm.

Unsheathe your sword and hail the dragon wizards! Is Power Metal the funniest genre? Unclear. Unasnwerable. Let's dig in anyway.

We review Jon Fine's book Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at Indie Rock's Failed Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear). Most of this episode was recorded in the before time of 2017
