“You can understand everything he says…he’s much more pronunced.”
With Diego Rapacchietti, the “Swisstalian” timekeeper who replaced original drummer Marky “Marquis” Edelmann behind the kit, both Ron Broder (Ron Royce) and Tommy Vetterli (Tommy T. Baron), known collectively as Swiss thrash kings CORONER, have returned with DISSONANCE THEORY, the first new studio album featuring brand new material from the progressive thrash trio in over 30 years and the album which already has thrash fans worldwide shouting proclamations of Album of the Year.
Released on 10/17/2025, DISSONANCE THEORY is easily the finest thrash album in decades and may quite easily take the crown as CORONER’s magnum opus, a master work of progressive, technical thrash tempered with unmatched riffs, majestic solos, and a brilliantly engineered sonic vengeance where the drums, bass, and guitars each sit perfectly within the mix. It’s one of those albums that continues to impress exponentially with each subsequent listen and is, without question, a masterpiece, and an absolute joy to listen to.
“Just when you think all the riffs have been written…NOPE!”
Remember that the word for this episode is “texture” and JOIN US as we celebrate CORONER’s crowning achievement in thrash greatness with the unpredictably precise complexity of tech prog thrash genius, DISSONANCE THEORY.

“That dude is Dracula, man…”
The entire month of October is Halloween. And you can’t do October without TYPE-O-NEGATIVE, as they are the official soundtrack to the month of Halloween.
Released August 20, 1996, OCTOBER RUST, their 4th studio album (or 3rd if you count “Origin of the Feces” as a “live” album, which we actually do, even though it’s technically not) is much more gothy, textured, and atmospheric than previous TYPE-O albums while still maintaining the same gothic, heavy, doom laden aesthetic of their previous albums, making it the perfect sonic representation of all things Halloween: vampires, werewolves, haunted houses, haunted relationships, hot bisexual goth girls who are into threesomes, bottles of red wine, and lonely forests bathed in the colorful, seasonal transformation that is autumn.
It's time to imagine Molly Ringwald dressed as a goth girl for Halloween as you feast your ears on the creepiest, evilest sounding keyboards in metal while summoning Bacchus (the god of wine and revelry and/or tits) to help prepare for this season’s “fistivities”.
Discover the actual definition of “zoanthropic paranoia”, find out what happens when you make a goth girl squirt, and learn about Peter Steele’s lesser known “nickname” when you JOIN US as we rrrrrrroll our R’s rrrrrrright on through creepy season with OCTOBER RUST.

“I didn’t do stink finger until sophomore year…”
Switzerland is known for a few things with holes in them, most notably their cheese (and quite possibly their chocolate). But the biggest hole Switzerland is known for (other than CERN) is the seemingly endless void between the last CORONER studio album (“Grin” in 1993) and their upcoming 2025 release “Dissonance Theory”, which makes the gap between Tool albums look like a couple of weeks by comparison.
As one of the most technically progressive, avant-garde thrash bands in the entirety of Metal, CORONER are the kings of odd time signatures, unusual chord shapes, and mathematically challenging riffs that set them apart from the rest of the pack, and we’re so glad they’re finally back!
Often called “the Rush of thrash metal”, most likely due to the incredible depth, musical complexity, and texture of music that a 3-piece band of their stature can deliver, CORONER doesn’t sound like anyone else in the thrash metal canon.
Discover the potentially dark traits shared by those with middle names who write in notebooks, understand the line of distinction between “a millionaire and a billionaire”, and find out why sex on Christmas Day ensures you’ll be celebrating birthdays “on the same day as Russell” when you JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with the best roadies Celtic Frost ever had, featuring Switzerland’s masters of techno thrash sorcery, CORONER.

Released 10/15/1996, WISEBLOOD, the 5th studio album from CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, is the perfect soundtrack to October and everything that goes with it, including shag carpeting, wood paneling, and fresh greens.
Filled with driving metal riffs and all of the sonic textures that made the 70’s the best decade for music, the “Skynyrd Fried Sabbath” infused 70’s jam band stylings of WISEBLOOD evokes a “super-heavy fuzzy 70’s” vibe that pairs well with the flower of your choosing.
Go fix yourself a PB&J (or a P&BJ) sandwich, relish the privilege of getting a Senior Discount for looking like a wizard at The Chick-Fil-A of burgers, and remember that “pre-AIDS poon is the best kind” when you JOIN US for a dose of retro southern metal with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and WISEBLOOD.

“Is that Richard Pryor?”
Released 04/21/1992, the 3rd official BEASTIE BOYS studio album, CHECK YOUR HEAD, is a genius title because this album is “all up in here” and is the perfect psychedelic ASMR accompaniment to justify your luxury headphone purchase.
While this episode is more than a little bit “off the reservation” we feel like with the right headphones and the right relaxers you’ll be in just the right mood to really enjoy it from beginning to end.
Loaded up with a wide variety of sonic textures, grooves, and more 70’s vibes than even Tarantino can shake a stick at (including the gratuitous use of Hammond B-3 keyboards and visions of wood paneled walls and orange shag carpeting), CHECK YOUR HEAD is the perfect album to make the trip back to 1974 “back when thunder sounded like thunder”.
Get ready for a Bunkerpoon ghost story regarding some paranormal activity captured during our recent Mastodon episode, find out what you’re NOT supposed to do when the red tide reaches the slippery shores of Snooch Gulch, remember that “Eerie Inhabitants 1988 thunder does not sound like 2025 thunder“ and JOIN US for CHRONICLES II: Part II – Off The Reservation with the BEASTIE BOYS and get ready to CHECK YOUR HEAD.

“In fairness, I guess if they didn’t have the make-up, what would they have? A different career?”
Released March 15, 1976, DESTROYER, the “iconic and mysterious” 4th studio album by KISS, was the first studio release after their breakthrough double live album ALIVE!, which chronicled their first 3 studio albums in a live concert setting and really brought the power and spectacle of the live KISS concert experience of the mid 1970’s to the masses.
Getting winded from tying your shoelaces is “the saddest thing about getting older” after coming to grips with the glaring realization that KISS just isn’t quite as awesome at middle age as it was upon hearing it for the first time in early childhood. But having said that, KISS was most definitely one hell of an exciting place to start one’s journey into the realm of metal.
We’re going to ask that you go ahead and lower any “Great Expectations” you may have had for this episode, because only a “fly by the seat of our balls kinda podcast” such as ours would dare to take on something like this.
Get ready for a “sobering moment”, remember that “Iconic” is the word of the episode, find out which Slayer album included “Fluoride Westone”, discover “how many people it takes to make KISS sound good”, and remember that “it’s nothing but 7’s” when you JOIN US for some “Rock and Roll Spiderman” as we embark on our trip through CHRONICLES II with PART I: the 4th studio album by “the hottest band in the land”, DESTROYER.

“The look on his face is like a kid on Christmas morning getting everything that he never asked for from Santa…”
July 21,1987 marked the beginning of the GUNS N’ ROSES era of L.A. metal with APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, the scorching debut album chock full of enough sleaze, swagger, and excess to put the boys in Motley Crue to shame.
If Slayer were the 80’s answer to 70’s Sabbath, then it’s not a stretch to say that G’N’R were the 80’s answer to 70’s Aerosmith, with a loudness that falls right in that “in between” phase of hard rock and heavy metal. Technically, “it’s not metal, but it kind of is…in a way”.
Discover “the worst part about getting older”, realize why overalls always translates to “good barbecue”, hear “the stoner thought of the day” and find out if “girls can tell the difference” when you JOIN US as we soak up some classic late 80’s decadence and debauchery with GUNS N’ ROSES and APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.

“This might be my favorite moment in music in 2025…”
Just when you think “all the riffs have been done”, 2025 gives us the gift of BRAND-NEW METAL, including new music from OLD SCHOOL THRASH BANDS, a feat many would call miraculous, considering how long it’s been since these bands have released any new material!
Whether it has been a half decade, a decade and a half, or in the most extreme case, three decades or more, it’s truly glorious to see the classic thrash metal bands of yore regroup and rejoin the fray stronger than ever with some of the finest output of their careers.
Welcome back to “The Average Double Team Podcast”, where we’re all about “shooting ropes” and “painting walls” (especially with regard to new music). Always remember that the reason you ever do anything is “because you’re YOU” so “just be yourself”, have some “grizzled truck stop ASMR” to go with your “perineum sunning” and JOIN US as we dig into a whole boatload of brand-spank metal on our 2025 NEW RELEASAL SHOWCASE.

“That’s the thing about music…it’s time stamped…it’s the soundtrack of our lives…especially for metal heads…”
The metal world mourns the tragic loss of another legend, and this one hit too close to home...
BRENT HINDS of Atlanta metal pioneers MASTODON was killed on August 20, 2025, in a traffic accident, just months after he and the band parted ways.
There is no other band on earth like MASTODON, and there will never be another guitar player like BRENT HINDS, and so with that, we give you our 2nd installment of MASTODON, focusing on their later work, from 2011’s “The Hunter” to the final album to feature Hinds’ contributions, the progressive double album opus, 2021’s “Hushed And Grim”.
Discover why metal girls are so much better than girls who aren’t into metal, learn the importance of spirit animals and shamans when traveling to other dimensions, and be sure to embrace the power of telepathy when communing with The Ineffable when you JOIN US as we bid farewell to BRENT HINDS and dig into the 2nd half of the MASTODON catalog with MASTODON CHAPTER II: 2010-2025.

“We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…”
Released on July 14th, 1992, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, the 5th MEGADETH album (and the 2nd to feature “the classic lineup” of Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza) would become the follow up to “one of the most perfect thrash albums of all time”, featuring a more streamlined, simplified, straight forward approach which served as a sonic palette cleanser to the progressive thrash complexity of 1990’s masterpiece, Rust In Peace. Simply stated, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION is complex in its simplicity.
Even though this might be the most offensive episode we’ve ever made, we’d like to remind everyone that we’re still all about “rainbows and peaches” even though we’ve emphatically stated for the record that “we’re not gonna talk about it”.
Remember proper cell phone etiquette to avoid being bothersome to others, prepare yourself for “The Average Double-Team”, head on down to Dangol County for some “High Speed Dirt”, and last but not least, find out “how to get out of offending anybody” when you “go pick up some honkies” and JOIN US as we start the clock and begin our analysis of MEGADETH’s COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION.
