It's time to celebrate the legend of Ronnie James Dio on The Great Metal Standoff. Where Jason assembled a team of diehard Dio fans, Moshpit's Metal Hour host, Imran. And bass player for a local Melbourne band 'Table n' Chairs', Daniel Cesarini. To somehow try and figure out a winner between two incredibly superb albums. Black Sabbath 'Heaven And Hell' and Dio 'Holy Diver'.

Which Dio led album rocks harder? The one that revitalised one bands career? Or the one that cemented his name into a rock n roll icon?

Back to the early 90's we go, to a time where grunge has died and Pop Punk is on the rise and explodes into the mainstream world. Led by Green Day's decade defining 'Dookie' and Weezer's landmark self-titled debut.

Jason has enlisted the help from more members of his team at 'Moshpit on SYN', his Metal Hour co-host and on-again off-again rival, Imran. And Punkdemonium's flag bearer of 90's Punk, Salomae, decide whether there ain't no Pop Punk party like a Dookie party? Or if the music world was more deserving of a fresh coat of blue paint?

Metallica and Megadeth are going head-to-head for a second time on a slightly different twist of 'The Great Metal Standoff'.

Both bands and there respective albums are considered as traditional rock n’ roll albums, but they also can claim to be some of the biggest influences on the metal bands we know & love today. For this, Jason has brought along fellow SYN music podcaster Stefan Bradley of podcast ‘Rock Capital’ to join in on the chat and break down which one of these two influential albums left the bigger lasting impact.

In an effort of both, searching far and wide to settle more long-standing debates in music and diversifying content in the early days of the podcast. Jason enlisted former 'Moshpit on SYN' presenter/Executive Producer & Green Day & MCR superfan, Ellen Pritchard, to help settle punk rocks greatest modern day debate. 'American Idiot' vs 'The Black Parade'!!
Will it just be like last time where this discussion only served to fuel more to the fire? Or will one album definitively reign supreme?

To help with precedings, Jason acquired Rhys McKenzie, bassist for a local Melbourne Death Metal band ‘Escarion’ to breakdown and discuss what makes these albums so iconic.
