  • 16. Traditional Heavy Metal - Part 3

    After discussing "terms and definitions" in Part 1, and Jon's picks for Traditional Heavy Metal in Part 2, today in Part 3, Wil has been sent out into the world and asked to discover some bands of his own. Remember that part about the "Super-Mega-Double-Bonus Points" if Wil finds something neither party has heard? Well tune in to see if he found any! You'll definitely hear some classics, as well as some brand new music you can sink your slightly discolored molars into. So relax, chug a beer, and listen up!

  • 14. Traditional Heavy Metal - Part 1

    All this month we will be talking about Traditional Heavy Metal! This episode is what we like to call "Terms and Definitions." We talk about what exactly we mean when we say "Traditional Heavy Metal" - some major components of the sound, the lyrics, the art, and the attitude of the bands that we put in this category. Especially for this episode, grab your favorite beer (or 8) and listen up!

    If you disagree with us, you would like to buy a t-shirt, or (most importantly) you would like to send in your own suggestions for Traditional Heavy Metal bands for the 4th episode this month, please email us at [email protected].
