Whether it’s the Kool-Aid man crashing through walls with refreshments, Macho Man Randy Savage snapping into Slim Jims, or James Hetfield just being the most affirmative frontman in all of metal, YEAH is the common denominator among these men of greatness. In our quest for the SOURCE OF THE YEAH, we felt obliged to produce our most positivity infused and affirmation laden episode yet, an endorsement with which we express absolute assurance, conviction, and certitude.
Throughout the history of metal, YEAH has always been (and will forever be) an affirmation of positivity. There’s pre-metal YEAHS, backwards YEAHS, accidental & hidden YEAHS, the ever elusive “YEAH YEAH” (aka “The Double YEAH”), pre & post Black Album YEAHS, the supreme & preeminent Sabbath YEAH, a single worded song title with a single worded lyric which is called (wait for it…) “YEAH”, and believe it or not, there’s even a Slayer YEAH. And oh YEAH, it’s highly likely that our “painstaking research” brought us to the potentially “spellbinding” origin point which may truly be the source of ALL the YEAHS.
Prepare to ponder the wisdom of “trading youth for wealth”, because “they’re releasing the dragons again” next year. Go ahead and call up your “transformer and shapeshifter” friends, don your gay apparel, and get caught up on all your “holiday shopping” after you contact “Screamin’ Jay Howlin’ Wolf III” to reclaim your “happiness”. Find out what Rainman sounds like “when he’s hammered” and don’t deny the “unredacted” power, endless versatility, & untapped functionality behind our latest tagline for “OnlyFans” when you JOIN US in our immersion into the affirmative on our quest for the SOURCE OF THE YEAH!!!

After 39 years, LIVE UNDEAD may still be one of the finest recorded moments in SLAYER’s budding thrash legacy, capturing a “kinda live” re-recording of the best parts of their hugely successful Metal Blade debut (SHOW NO MERCY) and their follow-up EP (HAUNTING THE CHAPEL) in a room full of rowdy, surly, and occasionally unruly, die-hard SLAYER fans with the objective of capturing the “live” performance & energy of a band forged & tempered by dates on the road with an improved sound and just the slightest tweak of production sorcery.
It’s time to uncover “the biggest scam on earth” and gear up for some “hijinks and shenanigans” as we ponder the question “does the upstairs match the downstairs?” and prepare to embrace “all the veins” of our brand new, exclusive “social media platform”. Get ready to “weedly-woo” and discover greeting cards perfect for “wordingsmiths” struggling to write “the perfect note”, grab “the last splash”, try “not to be a Taintler” and JOIN US as we get “a little dark” and discuss the timeless sonic magic that mimics a concert held in a dungeon foyer graced with hellscape decor as we take on SLAYER: LIVE UNDEAD.

Before CORROSION OF CONFORMITY gifted us with their signature “Southern Fried Sabbath” sound, the metal world was first introduced to BLIND, a unique blending of thrash, doom, and stoner metal tempered with heavy foundations built on straight-up Sabbath worship. Clearly a progression from the punk & hard-core centric sound of earlier COC and their maiden voyage into thrash metal territory, BLIND sounds as if Black Sabbath time traveled and came to power in the early 90’s as a modern-day thrash band complete with all the darker, doomier elements that were such an integral part of their signature sound back in the day. Surely, COC’s release of BLIND was pivotal in fostering the resurging popularity of Sabbath’s legendary, groundbreaking 70’s output.
Prepare to receive some sage “exercise” advice and understand why glasses aren’t always suitable for certain situations. Remember to never “fake your fartgasms” and don’t be a “dry handy jacker” after learning what “U.F.C.” actually stands for. Discover the latest metal conspiracy theory regarding the “source of the YEAH”, go ahead and invite “Pee-Paw” and any “homies that are chicks” over to give thanks, and be sure to tell them to JOIN US after Thanksgiving dinner as we give thanks for CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 1991 groove doom thrash classic, BLIND.

“You know I've smoked a lot of grass, Oh Lord I’ve popped a lot of pills…” – The Pusher
Since before the dawn of heavy metal, RELAXERS have been a recurring theme in song lyrics. Whether revered with praise and appreciation or reviled through tales of tragedy and woe, one cannot deny the obvious power and impact RELAXERS have had on heavy music throughout the years.
While there are an endless array of RELAXERS available in the world (both legal and illegal, natural and manmade), there are an equally endless variety of songs about them, so many in fact that we could do an entire episode called “Snowblind” although there’s much more to metal than the not-so-secret South American plant powder for which Black Sabbath “unofficially” named their 4th album and John Pemberton “officially” used in his refreshingly stimulating soft drinks at the turn of the 20th century.
We finally made it to “Nosober November”. Time to get ready to become “unfiltered & unredacted” as you “pass the shortest straw” and follow the bouncing 8-ball while embracing “the darkness inside you” and preparing your blotter for the dropper after you “go and pound some Molsons”. It’s time to understand the “Indica vs Sativa” analogy and be ready to “go do some ayahuasca in the jungle” and “taste the rainbow” while congratulating your Ohio friends for finally “making it legal” when you JOIN US as we reflect on the various blessings and curses inherent in a variety of songs about RELAXERS.

“Sure, God’s all-powerful, but does he have lips? Whoa…”
It was the early 90’s, and the landscape of metal was undergoing a transformation. Hair metal was effectively dead and gone, the popularity of thrash was rapidly approaching its zenith, and ALICE IN CHAINS were well on their way to becoming one of the most recognized bands in the world, thanks (in no small part) to their slot supporting The Clash of the Titans Tour, opening for 75% (or ¾ if you prefer fractions) of The Big Four as perhaps the most obscure, unknown, and “out of place” band on a bill packed with the biggest names in thrash.
While ALICE IN CHAINS brought their own unique brand of metal to a brand-new (and oftentimes “highly resistant”) audience as the “odd ducks” relative to their legendary thrash counterparts, AIC’s “baptism by fire” granted them the opportunity to prove their mettle while winning over new legions of metal fans and helping pave the way for the next evolutionary wave of metal which would soon be rising to prominence.
Get ready to learn the answer to “Where?” and prepare to get “sucked in” as we unveil the actual reason why glam bands wore make-up and remember why “It’s gotta be clean and it’s gotta be huge” if you “won’t be taking baths this year” whenever you JOIN US for some “third eye gravy” as we go INSIDE THE METAL of a band sharing more in common with Slayer than you’d think and journey to the rainy, perpetually moist, Pacific Northwest (where one might “hunt for some Squatch”) with Seattle’s native sons, ALICE IN CHAINS.

“You have to watch it with your ears and listen with your eyes…”
There’s a multitude of reasons why we need time travel technology, but the most pressing one is so we can go back to our high school years and re-discover the NOLA based thrash-groove force of nature known as EXHORDER.
While EXHORDER may be one of the more obscure artists from the thrash metal heyday of the late 80’s and early 90’s, they are undoubtedly one of the most criminally underrated bands of the genre, fortified with an arsenal of precision riffing, breakneck speed, and sheer instrumental mastery that only “the best of the best” old school thrash bands possessed.
Go ahead and get yourself a big ole bottle of “bacon soda” and be advised how to bypass the nonsense and “get straight to the meat” as you find out which podcast has cracked the Top 100 and understand why “the Gadsden flag dude” stationed near the Bunkerpoon has given us hope for the future. Prepare to discover “the tastiest wax” ever to bless Halloween candy, try not to listen to The Triangle, and JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL (then and now) with EXHORDER.

LED ZEPPELIN III might just be one of the most perfectly ideal albums for fall as it contains all of the essential components of fall: subtle stoner vibes, a folksy, medieval, Tolkien-esque feel, and a general all around magical and mystical nature. It’s a vastly unique album and is (sonically speaking) more radically different than anything else in their catalog.
Led Zeppelin’s sonic palette has always been about the utilization of various textures, whether through Robert Plant’s lyrical imagery and vocal delivery, Jimmy Page’s guitar and string arrangements, or the sheer sonic weight of the mighty rhythm section that is “The Two Johns”, there is no other album that perfectly captures the spirit and energy of autumn quite like LED ZEPPELIN III.
When’s the last time you learned a new word that you’ve never ever heard of or read before? Well, this episode is chock full of ‘em! Prepare to learn about a “blue-eyed merle”, a magical place where the white stuff falls called “Snowdonia”, and perhaps the best word ever invented in the history of the English language: VOLVELLE!
Go find yourself a “four-eyed girl” who’s willing to go in on a “2 for 1” and be sure to stay away from any “haunted oysters” while always remembering that the secret ingredient is Volvelle when you JOIN US for a perfect sonic representation of the autumn harvest season as we dive into the mystical magical genius that is LED ZEPPELIN III.

“That devil stuff just freaks me out, man…”
It’s October, which means it’s Halloween season and the haunted realm of ghosts & ghouls, werewolves & witches, vampires, goblins & zombies will soon be taking over. It also means a brief review of some classic horror cinema and enough sugar to (quite literally) reanimate the dead.
To properly commemorate the upcoming celebration of All Hallows’ Eve in true black metal fashion, a HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH was proposed, featuring MERCYFUL FATE’s first two albums, their 1983 debut Melissa and their 1984 follow up Don’t Break The Oath, both of which are landmark black metal recordings representing the key fundamentals of the genre.
Prepare to hear the happiest intro to a song about witches you’ll ever hear and discover how “35 grams” might be just enough “anti-relaxer” to have a brief but meaningful conversation with John Moschitta. Get ready to learn the significance of “The Petrine Cross” and determine whether “hailing or denying” is “more eviler” when you JOIN US for a short conversation regarding some spooky cinema spanning the horror genre before jumping into the witchy, black metal showdown of the MERCYFUL FATE HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATHMATCH.

One of the finest albums of the fall season that deserves space in your autumn playlist (right alongside everything Sabbath & Zeppelin) is PIG DESTROYER’s 2018 work of grindcore perfection, HEAD CAGE.
While the Alexandria, Virginia based grind lords are one of the most recognized bands of the genre, HEAD CAGE has a more “mainstream” sound that could best be described as a convergence of 80’s & 90’s thrash with an infusion of hard core and doom textures as well as subtle hints of industrial sampling and modern metal, packing a veritable “buffet” of jaw droppingly sick riffs into each and every song, resulting in a complete work that’s so satisfying it’s virtually impossible to not listen to on perpetual repeat.
Hold off on consuming those “big fruity drinks” until after you’ve heard our brand new “health advice” segment, including an acknowledgement of “Sober October”, a breaking news update impacting the nymphomaniac community, as well as our ongoing debate regarding “which itch is worst?”.
Get ready to learn the identity of the individual responsible for every outgoing answering machine message in the 80’s (not to mention the spoken word intro to “Prowler in the Yard”), discover the hidden dangers of banana peels at funerals and JOIN US as we dive into one of the finest moments ever chronicled in the history of metal and unlock the secrets hidden within PIG DESTROYER’s HEAD CAGE.

November 3, 1992:
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’s self-titled debut injected some much-needed angst & social awareness into metal in the early 90’s with their own unique brand of vitriolic, sonic vengeance aimed at the corrupt power elite responsible for negatively impacting sociopolitical and corporate landscapes the world over with complete impunity.
With powerfully simplistic riffing, a revolutionary lyrical message, and six-string pyrotechnics which transformed the guitar into a new way to DJ, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE managed to ear worm their way into the collective consciousness of the early 90’s metal scene, making it fun to embrace our own inner angst and revolt in protest against a broken, unjust, and backwards system hellbent on greed, power, and totalitarian control in the most radically metal way possible.
It’s time to uncover yet another one of the myriad of reasons why we (still) have no female callers (because “Sharon is Karen”). Go ahead and get “Axel” on the horn to understand what “Star Wars and The 2 Live Crew” have in common as you learn the name of that instrument they play in the Outback as well as the better, new term for “jowls”. Go ahead and fly that flag upside down, get ready to “listen to ‘The Message’” and JOIN US for a dive into the debut album that fired the first shot in the heavy metal insurrection to “take the power back” as we RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.
