Straight from the wintery woods of Missouri (and Kansas) comes an album that'll take you through a time machine back to the early 90's. If you're looking for authentic black metal, this is where you'll find it. Brandon Teel of Aphelion joins me to talk about his group's latest effort, The Chill of Heavens Abandonment. There's a little something in this record for every fan of black metal. Whether it's being fisted by "Severed Tongue Dialect", lulled into a false sense of security by "Victorious Anguish", the slow burning dread of "Suffering Bestowed", or even the putrid magnificence of "Before the Heretic's Fork"; I promise this will tickle your fancy. Travel with me to Norway, wait for a blizzard in the middle of the woods, grab your invisible apple, and blast Aphelion's latest record because it awaits your bated ears.  

My baby brother has an affinity for Sabaton. But who doesn't, am I right? He's been in and out of the hospital lately dealing with a fungal infection in his spinal cord, so I figured I'd help bring him a smile and keep him some company from a few states away with a podcast dedicated to him! These are my favorite Sabaton songs. It was hard as fuck to pick just four songs from their discography, but I did it. The honorable mentions section is nearly endless, though. Which Sabaton songs make it onto your Mount Rushmore? 

Have you ever wondered what it's like to suffer through the Hot Ones gauntlet? My friends Dan Johnson, Drew Frerking, and I take the plunge through some wings with scorching hot sauces on them all while answering questions, shooting shit, and pissing ourselves laughing. We talk everything under the sun endlessly and aimlessly for over three hours, but we earned our badges of honor for surviving Da Bomb. There's a little bit of everything for everyone in this episode. Bad horror movies, hatred for St. Anger, 90's photos of Mike Portnoy, how to pronounce Milla Jovovich's last name, and much more. Maybe after our battle with heat and fire hole, you too will be inspired to take on the Hot Ones spread. 

Who doesn't fucking love Motörhead? My buddy, and willing podcast participant, Dan Johnson wants to know what my Mount Rushmore of Motörhead songs are, and now I've got an official answer. It took me a while to come up with a legitimate list of only four song from their discography of 22 studio albums, plus live albums, compilations, EP's, etc. But here it is, people! If you haven't listened to these four songs, do yourself a favor. What is your Mount Rushmore of Motörhead songs? What Mount Rushmore should I do next?

High class, white trash former limousine driver (and one half of my parental unit), Barry Palmer sits down for a podcast about our roots. We talk his background in the notorious big cities of Ironton and New Madrid, Missouri, hearing Metallica for the first time, and influencing my development while I was still in the womb. There's something for everyone in this conversation, but if you want to know how Some Metalheads Are Gonna Roll came to be, this is a good place to start. 

Tanner Hensley joins us for today’s episode. You may recognize that name as our most constant shout out on the show. My best friend for over a decade now, Tanner and I sit down to explore his roots as a burgeoning metal head in the late 2000’s. In response to Dan Johnson’s expletive-laced rant about nu metal in our last podcast, I had to have Tanner on as my next guest to defend the honor of the subgenre. Are you a fan of nu metal? Give this episode a listen! Do you hate nu metal? Give this episode a listen anyway! A fresh perspective never hurt anybody. Don’t worry. Chill out, bro. We already know that you’re more elite than us. We get it. Sit back and enjoy my best friend and I shooting shit like we always do, but this time with a slightly larger audience than just the two of us.

Bass players rejoice! Some Metalheads Are Gonna Roll finally secured a bassist to berate. Dan Johnson of Cataphract and I sit down for a lengthy conversation about pick vs. finger bass playing, Motorhead, Cliff Burton, Prost Brewing Co., his favorite shitty music, and everything in between. You're in for the long haul on this one! If you make it to the end of the podcast, you win a free pick from Dan Johnson himself. (He didn't agree to this). 

If you need something to listen to over the holiday this week, why not make it a podcast featuring Jeffrey Dahmer's favorite long lost relative? Freelance illustrator and filth producer Karl Dahmer (Rimjob, Aphelion, Wartomb [formerly PGSK]) joins us for today's episode! We talk his artistic influences, his affinity for drawing freaky shit, his body of work, as well as each of his bands. 

Have you ever wondered what Brandon's top 4 concept albums of all time are? No? Well, you're getting them anyway! On this quick episode, we cover his Mount Rushmore of albums that tell one cohesive story. Get your tomatoes ready, because somebody somewhere is going to be PISSED about the absence of Queensryche here. 

The vocalist, frontman, lyricist, mask maker, and ring leader of Kansas City death metal cult/urban legend Troglodyte joins me for today's podcast! Jeff Sisson and I talk for nearly four hours about his wide range of passions and projects. Relax, get comfy, and brush up on your sasquatch knowledge before you press play. And as always; LISTEN TO BIGFOOT METAL!
