Nü-Metal, Who Dis?

Dustin and Nick are joined by cult film distributor and member of electronic Misfits-themed band Misbits Warren Chan to discuss Static-X’s debut album, Wisconsin Death Trip.

Dustin and Nick are joined by comedian and pop-punk expert Blake Hammond for a look back at Limp Bizkit’s debut album Three Dollar Bill, Y’all. They have some laughs, say some swears, and Dustin laments on the weak presence of some alt-right dickheads at a recent Limp Bizkit show.

Dustin and Nick do a deep discography dive of German metal band Rammstein, discussing their entire body of work (before the release of their newest album, Zeit), their prolific output of music videos, the over the top pyrotechnics and theatrics of a live Rammstein show, and of course, their involvement in the film XXX.

Dustin and Nick are joined by comedian Derek Sheen to discuss System Of A Down’s sophomore album Toxicity.

Dustin and Nick tackle Alien Ant Farm’s major label debut, ANThology, discussing cool names, the stages of a break-up, and the decidedly less aggressive side of nü-metal that the band represents.

Dustin and Nick continue their coverage of Scream 3 with special guest Hunter Roberts, recasting the initial trilogy closer with a mostly modern day cast, and finally dive into the nü-metal heavy soundtrack, a veritable Who’s Nü? of the then popular genre.
