Stockholm Syndrome We follow with three bands this week to see how their latest releases strike us.  Do they hold our attention and have us defending them?  Or do we want to break free and move on with our lives? SideShow.388 Reviews: Amon Amarth – Berserker (Metal Blade) Grand Magus – Wolf God (Nuclear Blast) October Tide – […]

Only the Finest Quality Audio We have four rather diverse albums for you this week.  I feel like we say that a lot, but just look at them! The styles are all over the place!  But that’s just how we like it, and hopefully you do too.  We also talk a little bit about getting Metal […]

Ain’t Nuthin’ but a G Thang This episode is stuffed to the brim with content! We review FOUR albums, cover the letter ‘G’ for our ABCs, and have a live review!  So, I’ll save you some time by not filling this space with letter-based jokes and let you get right to listening. SideShow.386 Reviews: Periphery […]

Effin’ A Cotton, Effin’ A! What the F is up, mother F-ers?!  We got a hell of an F-ing show you this week!  Ok enough of that crap.. Yes, we got to the letter F this week.  Beyond that, we have two sophomore albums a new album from a new band that we sampled for […]

At the Speed of Grind We have some long-awaited follow-ups this week!  Well, we haven’t been really been “waiting” for two of them, but Brian has been anxiously waiting almost five freakin’ years for the third.  The question we are here to answer, though, is, “Are any of them worth the wait?” SideShow.384 Reviews: Fallujah – […]

Gimme a D I could make some “D” jokes here, but we do that a bit in the episode, so I’ll try not to go too deep.  It’s really hard, but I also don’t really get off on those kind of jokes, so I’ll just keep them in hand to shoot off another time.  We […]

Sweet and Salty We actually kick this show off talking about some upcoming shows, most of which aren’t for a few months.  If we are missing something, please let us know in the comments!  After that, we have a mixed bag of releases this week, in both quality and style.  Feel free to comments on […]

Easy as 1, 2, 3 We really pushed this whole ABC thing this week, with alphabetized bands for the whole episode.  How could we pass that up?  Also, thanks to our good friends and “art director”, we now have a name and some art for our Bandcamp segment! SideShow.381 Reviews: Astronoid – Astronoid (Blood Music) […]

Some New Shit! We have some brandy new jams this week, ranging from sweet melodies to chaotic grind and…well, not “everything in between” but there’s a little bit of variation.  We also debut this year’s gimmicky feature, which should be fun! SideShow.380 Reviews: Soilwork – Verkligheten (Nuclear Blast) Beaten To Death – Agronomicon (Mas Kina) […]

This Year’s Shit We Missed from Last Year It’s that time of year again!  That’s right, not much had been released yet, so we looked back at some lauded released that seemed to have eluded us until now.  The question we try to answer is, “Do they live up to the hype?”  Well, listen and […]
