The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-09-01) What happens when neoclassical shred meets face-melting death metal? You get Chicago’s own Burned In Effigy. Their 2022 debut Rex Mortem earned them stages with Obscura, Orbit Culture, and Revocation. Now, they’re back with their sophomore release Tyrannus Aeternum—dropping Halloween 2025, because apparently your nightmares needed a soundtrack.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-08-25) On this episode of The Metal Robot Podcast, We sit down with Sebastian of Ivy Gardens to talk about the band’s origins, their upcoming album Death of Don Valley, and their various live and video shenanigans. We spin the roulette wheel and land in Iceland’s frostbitten black metal scene. Plus three of the latest metal albums of varying degrees of heaviness to take a dive into (and possibly wack with a weed wacker).

The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-08-11) What happens when a prog metal nerd never lets go of his dream to make a JRPG? You get Bane of the Talebearer—a colossal multimedia passion project years in the making from composer, producer, and Dreamwalkers Inc frontman Tom de Wit (TDW).

This isn’t just an album. It’s a 74-track soundtrack, a voice-acted audio drama, and maybe—just maybe—a full-fledged video game someday. In this episode, Tom joins The Metal Robot Podcast to break down the story, the world, the characters, and the insane amount of work going into Rezalah’s biggest adventure.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-07-14) In this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast, we jump into a weird variety of metal albums, from a thrash metal request that slapped, to the crustiest of crust/death/punk, to some good power/heavy/death metal from the U.S.A. Then, it’s another spin on Metal Archives Roulette—this time landing on Mexico and finding some goregrind gremlins. Finally, we wrap things up with an interview with Gustaf of industrial power-thrash project Mindistry, digging into the making of their new single Militaire Sans Frontières. It’s a ride—from groove to grind to cyber-metal madness.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-04-15) No, I didn't get side tracked and not upload an episode in two months. It's 2025, time doesn't exist! It's still February, and we've been stuck in the longest loop of the shortest month ever. On today’s show, we've got the latest in the metal scene, including some "Weird Metal" (no seriously, that's what the sound is called) Then, we start a new segment exploring metal around the globe. And finally, we will sit down with Derev, some proggy boys with a lot of stories to tell!

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-10-22) For the 60th edition of the show, our good friend Collin Sterling of Thrashers Paradise has joined us for another mega-sode. Last episode we featured a college assignment of mine featuring Collin on Thrasher’s 5 year anniversary. Now he’s returned to get more in depth, including a surprise he’s got for this Christmas. We catch up on the biggest and dumbest stories in the metal world since last year, including Linkin Park, Cannibal Corpse, Gojira, among others.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-10-16) On this episode, we talk “HARDSTONES” the latest album from Finish guitar legend Euge Valovirta and what it was like working with so many other musicians to bring it to life. We learn what it means to thrash in paradise for 5 years with Collin Sterling, celebrating a major milestone for the Hamilton metal radio show. And we get a feel for some harsher (albeit nasty) stuff with Nasty Savage and Valletta releasing new music in the past couple weeks.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-09-23) In this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast, we explore significant recent events in the rock and metal scene, including the bar fight on stage with Jane's Addiction. Opeth's upcoming album was delayed due to manufacturing issues, and Mikael Akerfeldt has thoughts on the reaction to the new music. We also talk about the fustercluck of a promotion cycle Linkin Park has found themselves in. The surprising revelation of Dave Grohl's infidelity, which shocked fans, is lightly touched on, but maybe not with the same shock as some have felt. Stephen Flam of the sludge doom metal project GÖDEN also joins us, discussing their latest album Vale of the Fallen.
