AEW professional wrestler and self described nu-metal girl stops by the NMA for a special early morning episode to utterly school admin and CEO Holiday Kirk, alongside special co-host pinch hitter Matty Monroe of Indieheads, in all things wrestling and more things nu-metal than expected. 

On the eve of his new (nu?) record VOID ETERNAL nothing,nowhere graces our fair podcast to espouse his nu-metal bonafides and how those influences shape the album.

In what I can only describe as a dream episode for me we give Nick Giumenti of My Ticket Home his flowers for the incredible and way ahead of it 2013 nu-metal classic Strangers Only along with the rest of their stellar catalogue.

We're turning it around like a knife on the shelf as UK rockcrit journo extraordinaire Terry Beez educates us on the cultural phenomenon Slipknot was across the pond and we get distracted just naming UK nu-metal bands for a while too. 

We are back baby. BACK you hear me! Season two!! Kicking it off proper all smiles we're talking favorite nu-metal bands tune in.

Yeah you may have heard of this one. It is Korn. By Korn. 1994. Featuring celebrity guest Stin of arguably-but-most-likely-some-would-even-say-unquestionably nu-metal heroes Chat Pile. We get into it and Kirk works himself into a real tizzy trying to explain why he loves it, it sucks.

Jay Webster of UnityTX has had a crazy ass couple of years. A career taking off, derailed by the pandemic, and now firmly back on track; Jay Webster calls in from the Loathe tour to bring us up to speed on the state of things. And things are good.

Respect is due! And Spike 1000, creators of genre classic album Waste of Skin, have made their appearance on the NMA to claim it. Follow along as a breathlessly excited Holiday Kirk unwinds the band's tail of independent striving and major label idiocy in this special presentation. 

Is HEALTH a nu-metal band? "No," says John Famiglietti but "NOT SO FAST" cries Holiday Kirk!

The best selling nu-metal album by far; Hybrid Theory is defined almost as much by its success as it is by its music, which is really good. We're going all the way in on the album's success and its cultural impact on today's Nu Metal Agenda.
