MetalsPeak - Episodes

We keep it going this time around. More catchy than the glue board I just accidentally stepped on and can't get my sock off of now; we present our top 5 vocal hooks!

Also - full disclosure: Daigle couldn't help himself from mentioning the huge but totally unrelated news story from yesterday regarding author Robert Galbraith's true identity. Yep.

Next couple weeks are gonna be a bit slow for new releases, but we spin two tracks from the 8/6 releases from Exhumed and Revocation. These tracks, "Coins Upon The Eyes" and "The Hive", will rip your face off your face.

Also, Legz shares his thoughts on the Denver stop of the Rockstar Mayhem Fest.

And if you're playing the MetalsPeak home game... Cody's intros: 3 | Cody's presence: 0

You can always count on us to provide you with a playlist to perfectly accompany the most obscure and potentially unlikely scenarios you'll ever encounter. Great example: If you're in a survival situation and you need to resort to cannibalism, what songs do you have playing in the background? Totally legitimacy happening right now.

Jared also shares his thoughts on Australian tech death band Entrails Eradicated and their first show in Colorado Springs. And we make up for the serious lack of rage over the last several episodes with another edition of "Shit That Pisses Jared Off"... or at least "pisses off initially but has migrated to a level of frustrated aggravation."

And then yep - we go over top 5 songs for resorting to cannibalism in a survival situation. I feel like a broken record here but, you're welcome.

Also, we spin “Waste By Definition” by Mumakil and “Deadfall” by Atropos Project.

Cody was unusually quiet this go around... meh. Nonetheless we had fun going over our top 5 songs for epic battles.

June 11th is going to be a big release day - be prepared to go broke. We also heard from Jared and Legz about the 5/21 Opeth and Katatonia show in Boulder, plus bonus tranny pic snagged semi-incognito (http://www.tryredemption.com/metalspeak/images/Tranny.jpeg). And mark your calendars for Gutfest 5 6/28 and 6/29 at Sunshine Studios.

We also spun “Into the Everblack” by Black Dahlia Murder, “Primitive Killing Machine” by Blood Red Throne, and an extra special treat: the beautifully remastered music from Jurassic Park (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bc0MhckLXE).

There may come a day where we fail to top out top 5 topics... but it is not this day! Behold the top 5 songs for keeping Bubba off your balloon knot while in the slammer. And for those of you playing the MetalsPeak home game, the password is: sriracha enema.

We also go through some upcoming releases, hear Cody's thoughts on the Fear Factory show, and get a quick update on the Riff Rag. And if you're in the Colorado Springs area, keep your eyes out for these shows:

- Havok CD release at The Black Sheep June 22nd

- Try Redemption opening for Apparitions and Mouth Of The Serpent at The Black Sheep July 3rd

- Fistlord opening for Impending Doom at The Black Sheep July 19th

Tunes this go around are "Lift" by Dreadnought and "Overcome" by Hacride.

And finally, because it may or may not have anything to do with the top 5 topic, we take a Greek style look at the recent Tim Lambesis situation.

If nothing else, this episode is a lesson in how to reinvent and expand your product. Six words: Polyrhythmic jizz bong Tijuana diarrhea nipples. Here are our top 5 songs for getting dysentery from drinking out of the bucket at a donkey show. What bucket, you say? You know what bucket. You're scared, you say? You should be.

We also go over some upcoming releases to look out for and spend a few moments lamenting the passing of Jeff Hanneman, including Jared's thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church picketing his funeral. Good luck, fuckers. And we check out the sweet “Ordinary World” cover by Mechina and "The Diplomat" by Pig Destroyer.

Also, on a completely unrelated topic, if you haven't checked out the merged face GIFs on The Chive, you need to. Right now!

Some sites may say they push the envelope but here's proof that we walk that talk. In this episode, we slam your ear drums with more hosts than ever in MetalsPeak history PLUS a live studio audience! Daigle, Jared, Matt, Legz, and Stu discuss highlights of both the Soilwork and Fear Factory tours, whilst Cody trembles in girlish anticipation of the Jacksonville stops of said tours. All while Fistlord drummer Gentry listens in and basically has the time of his life. Yep. It's pretty epic in here.

We also go through a few upcoming releases, and check out "The Ramblings Of Madmen" and "Scattered By The Storm" by Fields of Elysium. And a triumphant return of the ferocity that is the shuffle battle.

Plus, if you're in the Southern Colorado area, keep your eye out for a new publication called "The Riff Rag" - a free publication from your favorite sweet hard rocker in Another Shade of Hate.

If you're ever in a situation where you need to amputate a limb (either your own or someone else's) you'll be glad you listened to this episode. Since we know you've been waiting patiently for us to get to this, here are our top 5 songs to have a limb amputated to. You're welcome.

Also, we run through some new releases to look forward to, share a couple thoughts on "New MySpace" and check out “The Master Key” by Daliss Koyal and “Laced Baby Food” by Amputee Pool Party.

And then we take advantage of the shorter episode by getting completely side tracked with unrelated topics like the hornswaggle, the backshaft gargle, and Ken Tamplin.

Who at some point in their life hasn't asked themselves, "What metal song should I coordinate a flash mob to?" The answer of course, is no one. And now you can finally compare your picks with ours. You're welcome.

We also talk about Jonathan Carpenter's departure from The Contortionist, revisit our Summer Slaughter predictions, and go over new releases to look forward to (seriously, you need to check out Cnoc An Tursa).

And then on a personal note, Try Redemption is "homeless" and needs a space to practice - so we took the self serving opportunity to play "Bleeding Eyes" and "Black Skies" to give our listeners insight in to the magic you could right have in your home. Call now! Operators are standing by!

Also enjoy videos of Jared's Thriller flash mob and The Ohio State marching band doing amazing stuff. Come on children!

Ever have that moment in your life when your tech gear decides your day needs to be ruined? Ever wonder what songs should be playing during that catastrophe? Well wonder no more! For your listening pleasure, we present our top 5 songs for technology meltdowns.

Also, we discuss the Reddit NIN troll. Feed that guy shit tacos.

And we play “‘sblood” by Inter Arma and “Elephtheria” by Mechina.

So right at the end of the editing process for this episode, Daigle's hard drive decided to take a nice healthy Rumpelstiltskin-esque shit. Now, over a week later, the situation has been remedied, but we can't remember a damn thing about this episode and are too lazy to listen back.

Actually that's not true - we remember that someone named Cody made a powerful comeback, and that we went over our picks for top 5 disasters. This was a creative spin on our format as we picked songs for each of the following disasters:

Zombie Apocalypse

Polar Shift

Alien Invasion

Asteroid Collision

Bieber Fever
