ARF ARF... exploring albums released on VICTORY Records.

This time, 2013's follow up to Terror's career-defining album "Keepers of the Faith", we talk to drummer and primary songwriter Nick Jett in my car in the rain about this Chad Gilbert produced Victory Records debut. And isn't that fun?

THA COMPLETE MEEP

Vocalist and founding Scar the Martyr member Henry Derek joins us for a tell all of everything about this band from before it existed, to conception as a black metal band with members of Gorgoroth, recording tha album, touring it, and it's untimely demise as well as working with Joey Jordison throughout tha process.

Bonus intro with Front Line Assembly / Fear Factory mainstay Rhys Fulber who produced tha record setting his expectations and reflection on tha end result.

All in all, we got a corker on an all new Meep Meep streaming now!!!

SCAR THA MEEPSTER

That one seems too easy. Scar the Martyr was the short-lived side-project turned full time band of Slipknot drummer and primary songwriter Joey Jordison.

On Part 1 of this episode, we talk to literal hall of famer and guitar hero Kris Norris, formerly of Darkest Hour and member of Scar the Martyr who tells us all about his involvement with the project, touring with Danzig and Korn to support it, and tha aftermath of tha project ending and turning into Vimic.

...Sick!

Come back soon for Part 2 or go listen to it NOW on Patreon.com/MeepMeepPod.

Lonely MEEPLE With Power

Deafangels rejoice. Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke joins us for our best episode at number 100.

Justice MEEPLACED By Revenge.

Twenty years ago Ringworm released a pivotal album in their career. With primary songwriter and Meepster Frank "3-Gun" Novenic joining Terror full time (and eventually Hatebreed), his time he could dedicate to Ringworm was thin and that led guitarist Matt Sorg to step up and take the reins, which he has white knuckled ever since and led Ringworm to previously unthrashed territories but it all starts here.

Vocalist Human Furnace and Matt talk about this transitional album, recruiting CJ Klemonski from Death Threat to help finish the job, making their first music video, Jacob Bannon's stunning album artwork, Ben Schigel from Sw1tched recording this effort, and so much more! But isn't that enough?

NOTHING MEEPMAINS...

Almost works. It's the 20th anniversary of Chimaira's self-titled 2005 album and we got half the band to tell us all about it.

Ohio's finest were coming off the strength of their 2003 breakout "The Impossibility of Reason" and would lean into a much more metal sound with longer songs, bigger solos, and more technical riffage.

This would also be their last effort on Roadrunner and their only record with drummer Kevin Talley. How did it all come together? How did it all fall apart? What was on Kevin's video camera?

All this and nothing else on this 100th episode anniversary edition of Meep Meep.

Tha Meep Kings.

New Jersey's Step Kings epitomized a DIY ethic coming up through hard work and grinding which eventually landed them a record with Roadrunner produced by Machine and tours with everyone from Slipknot to international shows with Papa Roach.

Bassist Bob McLynn is now a titan in the music industry with Crush Management while guitarist Fern is still a passionate musician who takes us through his journey of moving across the country to fulfill his dreams of rockin' complete with stories about collaborating with ill Nino, Jorge from Merauder designing their logo, Insane Clown Posse not appreciating their antics, and so much more on episode...

One Hundred.

CAN'T MEEP NOW

Before Rob Caggiano was a super producer of bands like Cradle of Filth and 36 Crazyfists and even before riffin' and rockin' guitars as a member of Anthrax or Volbeat, Rob Caggiano was in the band BOILER ROOM who were signed to Roadrunner for an album to be released in 2000.

Their single "Do It Again" appeared on the RR compilation MTV'S RETURN OF THE ROCK but despite completing the record, the Big Bird did not actually officially release it but Tommy Boy Records did, and the band dispersed shortly after.

In this 100th episode we talk all about the Boiler Room album but also some bonus Meeping with Rob's first production for Roadrunner, Dry Kill Logic's 2001 release "The Darker Side of Nonsense." Sick.

Each Meep Haunted.

The [Bruce] Banner from New Jersey were an interesting entry in tha world of metalcore in 2005. A punk rock aesthetic with a spooktacular subject matter wrapped up in breakdowns and mosh madness.

In this episode, singer Joey Southside takes us through the early beginnings of tha band, unlikely inspirations for their songs spanning from Batman video games to Outbreak, an argument about whether or not he wore eyeliner or not (he did), and bonds their scene formed internally with themselves and externally with multi-platinum partners My Chemical Romance.

All this and nothing else on Episode 100.

MEEPICATED.

This episode tackles tha self-titled debut and farewell of midwest monsters, downthesun. This band has so many Slipknot ties and that pun writes itself but they didn't wear tha masks - you saw and heard exactly how ugly they were.

Vocalist Aaron Peltz (no face tattoos) tells us about how they were signed, working with Mega Meepster producer GGGarth Richardson, touring with Slayer, and imploding almost immediately.

Gross! Episode 100.
