#192 AC/DC POWERAGE Album Dive
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
AC/DC’s 1978 banger, POWERAGE (pronounced like voltage, amperage, and sausage; NOT like volt-AGE, amper-AGE, or saus-AGE) is undoubtedly one of “the most 1978 sounding” albums that has ever been released in rock and metal. And after giving it a listen, you’ll undoubtedly agree.
It’s the first album to feature Cliff Williams on bass, the first album to not have a title track and (perhaps most importantly) it’s the favorite AC/DC album of both Keith Richards and Edward Van Halen. Relative to the rest of their catalog, POWERAGE is quite simply an album beyond comparison.
Prepare to plug in “all three inputs” and remember that “you gotta bro up before you glow up” when talking to your “uncle cousin” (even if he “identifies as a noun”). Behold the advancements in “alien technology”, accept the “invitation” of embracing the uniqueness of the moment and JOIN US for the incomparable 1978-ness of AC/DC’s POWERAGE.

#191 Stoner Metal Vol. VI - 420 SUPER SPECIAL
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
For anyone out there who identifies as a “cannabis person” on any level, even if that means just being a fan of STONER METAL, then we cordially invite you to our 420 SUPER SPECIAL to partake of a small sampling of the myriad of stoner metal strains which are available to you.
There’s some 70’s style stoner metal, some actual 1970’s stoner metal, some stoner metal that’s tuned down so low the strings are “flappin in the breeze”, and there’s even what some might refer to as stoner thrash metal. Basically, there are as many stoner metal bands and stoner metal subgenres as there are cannabis dispensaries, strains, and methods of consumption (at least in the states and places where legal access has already been “greenlit”).
Get yourself a generous sniff of the bag, prepare to load up and blaze up some “loudness” via your preferred “relaxer delivery method” of choice to be passed around to “Indica Man, Sativa Boy & Captain Hybrid”, remember the rules regarding proper rotation etiquette while in the smokers’ circle and JOIN US on this, our 6th installment of the Marc Potterson Chronicles and a very special 420 SUPER SPECIAL. Get ready for STONER METAL, VOL. VI.

#190 METALLICA KILL’EM ALL Album Dive
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
July 25, 1983: the day that changed heavy metal forever.
There are certain turning points in heavy metal that simply cannot be denied. KILL ‘EM ALL, the debut album from the mighty METALLICA, is without question the first shot fired in the sonic revolution of heavy metal that would ultimately come to be known as the point of origin for thrash metal. Heavier, faster, and more aggressive than anything else at the time, the release of KILL ‘EM ALL completely changed the game.
It's time to prepare for a zoom call with “Zulu and Zuul” to better understand the subtle nuances between the “junt-junts” and the “flan-nahs”, find out which Metallica song was the first to have keyboards and acoustic guitars, always remember that “junts are for metal” and JOIN US as we discuss the debut album that did for thrash metal what Black Sabbath’s debut album did for heavy metal: it’s a 40th anniversary dive into METALLICA’s KILL ‘EM ALL.

#189 Building the Perfect LOAD - METALLICA
Thursday Apr 06, 2023
Thursday Apr 06, 2023
After touring a crapload for The Black Album and effectively unloading their classic thrash sound from the 80’s, METALLICA released LOAD in June of 1996 and RELOAD in November of 1997 (same sessions, different loads). The original intent was for “The Loads” to be released as a double album (aka “One Massive Load”), but since there was concern that so much new material released at once might be “too much to swallow”, potentially overloading fans, LOAD & RELOAD were released separately as two distinct loads, united as one.
While there are lingering hints of The Black Album era across both of “The Loads”, these 2 records sound like absolutely nothing else in the band’s entire catalog. Loaded up with various sonic experimentations, including 70’s classic rock, country, and even some slight stoner metal style riffs, “The Loads” are definitely a different flavor and texture for that little old thrash band from the Bay Area.
Get your relaxers ready because it’s time to “get swole” and find out which STD might help boost your self-esteem. Time to find yourself a nice “Icelandic chick”, take a load off, prepare to experience a very different version of METALLICA and JOIN US as we engage in the arduous task of BUILDING THE PERFECT LOAD.

#188 Iron Maiden POWERSLAVE Album Dive
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
IRON MAIDEN’s 3rd release with Bruce Dickinson (and 5th release overall), POWERSLAVE, might very well have been the most progressive heavy metal album of 1984. In fact, it is easily the most progressive metal album of the early Dickinson era, with ½ the songs from this album being included on their 1985 “World Slavery Tour” concert souvenir, Live After Death.
It's time to find “the emergency lane before the off ramp” and discover which “really weird question” might be “good for you!” and prompt you to stop yelling at “mumble rapping 10-year-olds” while playing Call of Duty. Always remember to get your tattoos at a place where they play metal to avoid a “paisley sleeve”, behold the “paranormal footage” we captured in the Bunkerpoon, leave us some 5-star ratings & glowing reviews, find out how best to ruffle the feathers of your high school English Lit teacher and JOIN US for a dive into one of the finest hours of 80’s metal as we take on POWERSLAVE.

#187 SLAYER Covers
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
“If you let it go long enough, it’ll get there eventually…”
Since this episode is focused on SLAYER COVERS, we decided to reference:
- covers OF other artists as performed BY Slayer
As well as…
- covers OF Slayer as performed BY other artists.
That way, it’s understood that “SLAYER COVERS” refers to bolth scenarios above. To paraphrase a Van Halen reference, it’s literally the best of bolth worlds.
Ladies, if you’re out there and you’re listening and you want to show us some love, please reach out & leave us a voicemail before you “relieve yourself” (however you identify “relief”) and remember that the “secret word clue” for which Slayer song Def Leppard will cover is “platelets”.
Gentlemen, as usual, please go ahead and submit your pre-orders for the “Dick Taintler Support Bag System for Aging Men” and JOIN US for some incredible covers OF Slayer & BY Slayer FOR the greater good of Slayer and metal fans everywhere as we dive into a plethora of SLAYER COVERS.

#186 - SLAYER Divine Intervention Album Dive
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
In a way, you might say that DIVINE INTERVENTION, the 6th album from SLAYER (and the first with former Forbidden skins man Paul Bostaph behind the drumkit) was their moment of resurrection.
By the early 90’s, much of the pre-existing thrash landscape from the 80’s had either completely disappeared or radically transformed into a different non-thrash genre altogether. Naturally, SLAYER refused to compromise their sound or their mission statement and instead came back with a furious vengeance, even angrier, darker, and eviler than before.
It's time to find out what the S.L.A.Y.E.R. “backronym” means as you “carve SLAYER” while replying back to a text that was clearly meant for someone else. Prepare to embrace the truth of Dick Taintler’s powerful “message of the day”, discover what happens when you don’t use shampoo “as directed”, get rid of your waterbed and JOIN US as we dive into the revival of the darkest, evilest, and most uncompromising of The Big Four with SLAYER’s DIVINE INTERVENTION.

#185 Most OVERPLAYED and UNDERRATED Songs in Metal
Thursday Mar 09, 2023
Thursday Mar 09, 2023
“It’s the ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ of ‘Kill ‘em All’…”
Thanks to the “radio homogenization” resulting from the 1996 Telecommunications Act which prompted a handful of corporations to buy up all the radio stations and systematically destroy them by repeatedly violating our ear holes and airwaves with the same overrated, pre-programmed, 6-song playlist (like some Clockwork Orange style mind control experiment run amok), there are A LOT of songs out there that have been so completely overplayed into oblivion that we could do without EVER hearing them again EVER in life: whether live in concert or on the radio during the daytime…EVER!
But on the other hand, there are the more underrated deep cuts. The songs which disc jockeys with a genuine passion for music would often play whenever they wanted (yes, even in the daytime). Songs which got better over time and were never overplayed to the point of a listener’s disgust & scorn. Songs which are the antithesis of the ones referenced above in that we actually ENJOY hearing those songs and would prefer hearing them more often (like on the radio…during the daytime).
JOIN US for a special guest presentation courtesy of Dick Taintler and embrace the concept of “peanut butter, bacon, and jelly sandwiches” while discovering which words are considered “fighting words” that you simply can’t EVER utter (not even in jest) as we perform our personal evaluation of some of the most OVERPLAYED and UNDERRATED songs in all of rock and metal.

#184 KREATOR - Vol. I: The 80’s
Thursday Mar 02, 2023
Thursday Mar 02, 2023
For the inhabitants of the Bunkerpoon, Georgia Tech’s college radio station (WREK 91.1FM) and their weekly, late-night metal show (WREKage) was our very first exposure to one of the titans of “The Big Teutonic Four” of thrash metal, Germany’s KREATOR. In fact, for many of us in and around the tri-county, metropolitan Atlanta area, that was the only place in the late 80’s where we’d hear them (at least on the radio anyway…).
It’s time to break out your “thirstables” and bear witness to the best Jagermeister conspiracy theory you ever heard as you get “shiny” and prepare to be “thumb blasted” while slurping on Germany’s most consumed digestif. Prepare for “a clean wipe” around the old “chocolate Satan”
and JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with KREATOR -Vol. I: The 80’s.

#183 DEATH MATCH - Ride The Lightning vs Peace Sells...
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
With the exception of a few notable anomalies in metal history, a band’s second (i.e., follow-up) album is almost always more ambitious (and usually a ginormous quantum leap forward) than their debut album in nearly every way imaginable. And because we can’t help but “poke the bear” every now and again, we thought “Why not pick two of the most incredibly important follow-up albums in thrash metal history to duke it out in the coliseum?”
From 1984, it’s METALLICA with RIDE THE LIGHTNING.
From 1986, it’s MEGADETH with PEACE SELLS…BUT WHO’S BUYING?
And just to complexicate this confusing conundrum even further: only one of the members of one of these bands has actually been in BOLTH bands AND has songwriting credits on BOLTH albums.
(“To be fair”, ‘tis certainly a vexing quandary to say the least.)
Get ready to “work out your traps and use your sports words” because with these two beasts in the ring doing battle, it’s bound to get intense. Time to “sacrifice some fruit loops” as things get “downright biblical” in the world of classic metal as we pit two of the finest sophomore albums in thrash metal history by two of the finest bands in thrash metal history (who actually share thrash metal history together) against each other! Prepare to discover the most sensually appealing culinary wonder ever documented in the annals of breakfast food debauchery and JOIN US as we go head-to-head, Death Match style, with METALLICA’s 1984 release RIDE THE LIGHTNING vs MEGADETH’S 1986 release PEACE SELLS…BUT WHO’S BUYING?
