We Were Loud Once

In this episode, the guys are talking about Dan's time interning at Immortal Records (the label responsible for Korn, Incubus, and many others), the band Switched's debut record 'Subject to Change', and those stupid AI songs popping up under actual bands Spotify pages.  

The guys wanted to jump on the mic again quick this week to talk about the recent Soft White Underbelly video featuring Cameron Heacock from American Head Charge on YouTube . It had been a number of years since the numetal community saw or heard from Cam, so seeing him in this condition was pretty rough. We recommend you watch the entire video with Cam as it is a testament to the importance of music to our mental and physical health as human beings. If anyone knows of any way to help Cam, please let us know.

In Episode 17, Dan & Jeff talk nu metal Grammy nominations, brands instead of bands, and the nu metal record that ushered in metalcore, Five Pointe O's legendary record 'Untitled'.  No Josey Scott talk this time...but a lot of Jared Leto.  

In this episode, we have the distinguished pleasure to have the 'Thrash Master General' himself, Rick Halverson, on to talk about his experiences being a touring drummer in the band Pro-Pain, how he found himself playing drums for Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), and how he and one of your esteemed co-hosts make up one of the most powerful rhythm sections in heavy metal history. (just kidding, but not really).

In Episode 15, the guys nerd out on the new 40 Below Summer release and talk one of the most influential nu metal albums ever: Machine Head's 'The Burning Red'.

In this episode we sit down with Justin Bonitz from Tallah⁩ to talk about the upcoming tour, the creative process, and new music! 

Tallah is an experimental nucore band from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2018 by bassist/drummer Max Portnoy, guitarist Derrick Schneider, and vocalist Justin Bonitz, the band has continued to push the boundaries of the genre and tries to revive a lot of the things that made 90s/2000s nu metal so interesting and unique but with a modern and often heavier twist.

In this episode, Dan sits down with Joshua Toomey from Primer 55, The Talk Toomey Podcast, and The David Ellefson Show to talk about his time in Primer 55, his podcast career, and a bit of KISS.... 

In Episode 12, Dan and Jeff explore alternative ways that nu metal musicians (and any musician really) make money. They also surf through some musician's Cameos. You might be surprised how much they charge for those...

In this episode Dan and Jeff get into the impact this sampler made, what the modern day equivalent is, and how you would digest music if Spotify shut down (God forbid)...

Dirtfedd formed in 2002 in Lincoln, Nebraska, quickly gaining a reputation for their aggressive style and wild live shows. In 2006, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan took notice, producing their debut album The American Nightmare (2008) on E1 Music/Sopra Evil. Dirtfedd went on to tour nationally, sharing the stage with Slipknot, Korn, Slayer, Deftones, Lamb of God, and many more. They appeared on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival and the first Knotfest in 2012 before disbanding in 2014. In this episode, we chat with Brock Wettstead, drummer of Dirtfedd, about getting signed, what it was like working with Clown in the studio, and being on the Knotfest and Mayhem tours.
