Metal Nerdery Podcast

It’s time to learn about the healthiest, most productive way to release “all of your aggressions” fueled by “road rage” and crank the volume all the way up to LOUD to indulge in metal that comes shrink wrapped “pre-LOUD” from the factory. 

Remember that sometimes “it’s a little gamey and a little tangy” which is why it’s always a good idea to “dip ‘em in the egg wash” first. Find out what it means to “dig some schnitzel” and why the strategic ambiguity of “vaguebooking” is extremely off-putting, irresponsible, exhausting, and frankly, tiresome. 

Grab a bag of some “salt & vinegar barbecue chips” and JOIN US (along with “Bon Johnson”) as we indulge in all things “ridiculous AND hilarious” and prepare for a “bigger, longer, girthier” episode of CAN’T BE LOUD ENOUGH as we “finish to completion” (on the Patreon) with CAN’T BE LOUD ENOUGH, VOL. III.

For most SLAYER fans, Tuesday, September 11, 2001, began as every other new music release day would: we all anxiously anticipated stopping by the record store after work to pick up a copy of their brand-new album, GOD HATES US ALL. 

Words cannot describe the eerily psychotic synchronicity that seemingly linked the atrocities of that day with the timing of the release of SLAYER’s 9th studio album. Still, after twenty-three years (and counting), one thing remains unchanged:  GOD HATES US ALL may have been the lone moment of redemption during America’s darkest hour, chock full of brutally scorching riffs, hostile vocal vitriol, and a creepier sonic signature that makes this one of the landmark albums of the band’s career.

TITLE TRACKS are not always the ultra-obvious, one trick pony they’d seem to be.

Sometimes it IS ultra-obvious and is smack dab in the middle of the chorus where it belongs, sometimes only one of the words might be included in the chorus, and still other times “the chorus is not explicitly mentioned” anywhere within the title track at all. 

As you can tell, the rules regarding TITLE TRACKS are often “unburdened by what has been” particularly when factoring in all the confusing rules and conditions that seem to be a part of the burdensome phenomenon known as TITLE TRACKS. But while everything that preceded this sentence may not make any logical sense to a logical person with a logically functioning mind, it’s nothing that we can’t power through and figure out by working together.

“You can take something so pretty and make it so ugly…”

It’s been a while since we discussed any NWOOSTM, so we figured we’d check out one of the NWOOSTM playlist recommendations from “Mr. PB&J” himself. (NOTE: that’s New Wave Of Old School Thrash Metal in case you’re not into acronyms). THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC (which you can find on Amazon music), has a wide variety of NWOOSTM bands with newer, old school, classic thrash sounds.

“If Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell…”

You’ve heard of movies based on books, but what about albums based on books? IRON MAIDEN’s seventh studio album, SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON, released on April 11, 1988, is inspired by Orson Scott Card’s 1987 novel “Seventh Son” and is their first official “keyboard” album, confirming IRON MAIDEN’s progressive metal mastery as one of the finest progressive metal albums of all time.

Get ready to take on an army of “Roided up Roos” who are “boxing the trees” and always remember the following: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”, “you can’t push a rope” and the odds of 2 different people asking the exact same question within a day or two is not just some “random coincidence”.

We got a little out of control and went far beyond the “appetizers” section, to the point that there was no “meat” to skip to (in terms of a docket), primarily because we had a lot to talk about: albums ahead of their time, new Olympic competitions, and a whole host of other things (including our potential 9/11 Head-To-Head Death Match teaser…).

Be sure to “have a nice August” and remember that the answer to the question in question can only be “Wet? Or moist?”. Fix yourself a “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” and wash it down with a “Captain Morgan and Dr. Pepper”, discover what it means when “you can’t smell the hauntings”, find out which Slayer song “allegedly” has keyboards on it, prepare for some voicemails that “took home the gold” (including the “longest and girthiest” voicemail we’ve ever received), remember that (there are “seven confidents” and) “it’s fun when you say something wrong” and JOIN US for the 4th installment of JUST TALKIN SHITTAH!!!

“Do you know how many burps I edit out?”

EXODUS have been blessed with the almost uncanny gift of delivering absolutely devastating opening tracks on every album they’ve ever done.* There’s simply nothing like the “violently articulate” manifestations of Gary Holt’s riff wizardry to fuel the intensity of how blisteringly killer the opener (not to mention, the rest of the album) will be, which is why we’re BUILDING THE PERFECT ALBUM OF KILLER OPENERS to convey the critical importance of “setting the tone”, right out of the gate.

Discover the powerful harmonic wonder of the “Bunkerpoon Barbershop Quartet Trio” and find out which critically notorious component is absolutely essential to ensure the full enjoyment of “The Metal Nerdery Quadraphonic Experience”. Remember that even though the outro reels are often times “a little too prerogative”, generally speaking “it’s easier to just not have an individual, original thought”, because more often than not, “it’s not tight…it’s full”. 

Get ready to go fast and have “meat sweats the rest of the day” and be sure to have a “moist August” as we begin our TRANSition to “Rap Nerdery” and finalize the preparations for our upcoming “rebranding & renaming”. Enjoy a limited time “voicemail jingle encore” as well as an encouraging message from a “long time listener, first time caller”, be sure to give that “French baguette fella” a break, and JOIN US as we prepare to “Nerd Out” and indulge in BUILDING THE PERFECT ALBUM OF KILLER OPENERS – EXODUS EDITION.

Hopefully by now, everyone is familiar with those first three notes from the first Black Sabbath album. During The Middle Ages, this was referred to as DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA (which is Latin, meaning “The Devil In Music”). While also known as “The Devil’s Interval”, or in musical parlance simply as the tritone, SLAYER fans recognize DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA as the band’s 8th album of sonic evilocity and darkness, and the 2nd with Paul Bostaph on the drums. 

Even though it was released on June 9, 1998, as the nu-metal era was peaking, DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA is most definitely NOT Slayer’s “nu-metal” album. It still possesses all the sinister signature sounds and the dark, macabre subject matter, but there’s an unusual, experimental quality present on this album which defies definition and is unlike anything found on their previous albums. The overall production quality is much more aggressive and grittier, with the vocal performances utilizing some never-before used darker nuances, ensuring that DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA is an almost gratifyingly uncomfortable listening experience. 

It's time to get in touch with “good old ‘What’s His Name?’” and discover the subtle yet hilarious differences between “chickpeas and garbanzo beans”. Find out “where to measure from” to ensure maximum accuracy, go ahead and “tune down your voice”, prepare for the most unsettling outro reel ever, fix yourself a bowl of hummus and JOIN US as we dive into the darkness of “The Devil In Music”, made manifest on SLAYER’s DIABOLOUS IN MUSICA.

Imagine being in a record store, just flipping through the LED ZEPPELIN section of albums on November 8, 1971, and finding an album that appeared unfamiliar, mysterious, and perhaps even a bit out of place. The album cover gave no reference as to the band’s name or any discernible album title, the back cover had no track listing, there were no pictures of the band. 

There was nothing. 

On the front cover, there is nothing more than a framed picture showing an old, bearded man standing with a cane and carrying a large bundle of sticks on his back, hanging on the weathered wall of a semi-demolished home once belonging to someone who has long since passed away. On the back cover, a high-rise apartment building jutting into the bleak, grey sky, surrounded by smaller apartment homes and lush greenery in the foreground. On the spine of the album, where one would expect to see the name of the band and the name of the album, there were only four distinct, unusual symbols. In time, it would come to be known by many names:  RUNES, ZOSO, UNTITLED, and the most common name of them all, LED ZEPPELIN IV, which would go on to become the biggest selling album in the band’s catalog and one of the top 10 biggest selling albums in the history of ALL music.

Get ready to “have a good August” and remember that “sometimes words have 12 meanings” because it’s time to take “Dry July” a step further and step up your “pause game” while we share some kind words regarding our neighbors that were likely caused by a case of “Alabama jet lag”.  Discover the only other thing that was missing from Gojira’s historic performance at the Olympic opening ceremonies other than “dragons and more fire”, understand the real reason why we ALL had to learn to play “the recorder” in elementary school, and JOIN US as we pay tribute to the sonic “transmogrification” of LED ZEPPELIN and dive into the enigmatic mystery that is their 4th (and otherwise “Untitled”) album, LED ZEPPELIN IV.

Often in life you have to “strike while the iron is hot” because more often than not, the “First Strike Is Deadly” and not striking may result in lost opportunity and success. And while TESTAMENT were riding the wave of success from their first three albums and the subsequent tours that followed, their fourth album within three and a half years, SOULS OF BLACK, might have been a step too far. 

Granted, the October 9, 1990 release of SOULS OF BLACK was a prerequisite for the band’s inclusion on the European leg of the Clash of the Titans tour, and while it’s chock full of riffs, incredible guitar solos, and “eerie harmonies” that are all essential elements of the TESTAMENT sound, overall “the chugs are lacking”, and understandably so, because after 3 albums and 3 tours in less than 3 years’ time, the boys from Berkeley could have used a much-needed break before going back into the studio after such an intensive writing, recording, and touring cycle, back to back to back.

It’s time to indulge in some “debaucracy” as we accidentally included the latest episode of “The Triangle” within this episode (“because everybody’s offended by everything now”). Find out what everybody’s “I can’t get to the radio fast enough to turn it off” song is, discover why “Velma was a little bit hotter than Daphne” (and remember that “you can get a lot for $100”), contact “the help desk of medicine” for some “apple wrapped bacon”, and prepare to understand which song is “the one I’m gonna bang my chick to” when you JOIN US as we dive into the darkness of TESTAMENT’s fourth offering, SOULS OF BLACK.
