The Department of Metal Antiquities

One of the things about our podcast is that we have two hosts with differing opinions. Duncan is a steadfast Lou Reed fan, and not a Metallica fan, whereas Nik is a steadfast Metallica fan, and not really a Lou Reed fan.

What happens when they both listen to the nearly universally reviled Lulu by Lou Reed & Metallica?

Who out there in the world remembers the good old times we had in 1980? Well, I wonder how well Def Leppard remembers this particular record.

Join Duncan and Nik as they dig deeply into the forgotten debut.

In 1988 Jimmy Page released his one and only solo record.

Unfortunately, it kind of came and went even though it performed reasonably well. Today Duncan and Nik are gonna go deep into the grooves of this one and see if we should spin it or bin it!

In 1993, Poison had what nearly every single hair metal band didn't have, a functioning record contract. They were given the opportunity to go out there and record an album and see if they could get a hit.

Did they succeed?

It's time for us to take down a musical legend with a hit piece so severe that the heavens themselves will swallow us whole...

"Come Taste The Band" was the tenth and final album in the original run of Deep Purple. It's funny to call Mark IV part of the original run, but what are ya gonna do?

This album features only the keyboards and drums of the classic lineup and they didn't really bring any songs to the table.

So join us and we give it the spin it or bin it.

In the mid aughts, David Vincent decided it was time for a change in the world of death metal. He took it upon himself to turn one of the greatest death bands of all time into something wholly different.

Come join Duncan and Nik on the journey.

Nowadays, GWAR seems like this omnipresent thing that has neither a beginning nor an end, but dear listeners, there was an entry point back in the late 80's.

Join us as dig deeply into GWARs point of entry....

In 1991, Mike Muir and Robert Trujillo of Suicidal Tendencies joined forces with Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction to do a funk metal project that at the time was unlike any other.

Join us as we dig in deeper.
