#218 LED ZEPPELIN III Album Dive
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
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.

#216 PIG DESTROYER’s HEAD CAGE Album Dive
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
September 7, 2018
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.

#215 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Album Dive
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
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.

#214 PANTERA LEGACY TOUR POST GAME WRAP-UP
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Who: King Parrot, Lamb of God, & PANTERA
What: One of the finest heavy metal concert experiences EVER
When: Tuesday, September 12, 2023
Where: Ameris Bank Amphitheater - Alpharetta, Georgia
Why: For the celebration of The Abbott Brothers history & legacy
On this night, thousands of loyal Atlanta metal fans made the pilgrimage to behold the spectacle of King Parrot, Lamb of God, and PANTERA absolutely blowing everyone’s mind with one of the finest (and certainly one of the HEAVIEST) heavy metal shows to EVER bless the stage at Ameris Amphitheater!
Truly a “family reunion for metal”, it was one of the most powerfully transcendental events of community, reverence, and sheer sonic bliss ever experienced in a single place on a single night. The collective energy of these three extreme metal juggernauts elevated the entire audience to an almost frenzied level of controlled chaos & palpable glee. It was, without question, one of THE best metal shows to come to Atlanta in recent years, bar none. And for a few fleeting hours on that night of “Metal Magic”, it felt just like the old days all over again, in the best way possible.
It’s “story time” in the Bunkerpoon, which means it’s time to “hang tight” and “have some cocktails” with the “three black sheep” and find out “what happens to dudes who can’t handle their White Claws” while trying to comprehend how talking to someone on a cell phone at a concert is as futile and pointless as peeing into a tornado.
Prepare to learn which two letters equal the letter ladies sit on, discover the proper way to pronounce King Parrot, dine on the finest post-show cuisine at the Waffle House and JOIN US as we reflect on one of the most important nights of heavy metal to have blessed Atlanta in recent years as we reflect on the details of the PANTERA LEGACY TOUR POST GAME WRAP-UP featuring King Parrot, Lamb of God, and PANTERA on the Atlanta tour stop to honor and celebrate the legacy of the brothers, Darrell & Vinnie Abbott.

#213 LAMB OF GOD - Inside The Metal - Pre-Game part 2
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
“That’s something you could remember to forget later…”
One of the most profound things about heavy metal is its natural evolution over time. It’s never forced and somehow everything just flows together with perfection, like some intelligently designed, supernaturally endowed, cosmic jigsaw puzzle.
Similar to the way Pantera picked up the baton for metal in the early 1990’s, LAMB OF GOD became the new “stop gap” for metal fans and the evolutionary “next wave” of extreme metal (a.k.a. the New Wave of American Heavy Metal (NWOAHM)) with their own unique brand of sonic vengeance containing the perfect blend of blistering speed, scalpel-like precision, and devastating ferocity.
It's time everyone understands the vast differences between “bukkake and bulgogi” while discovering the “six scientific reasons” highlighting the “terrifying” similarities between elasmobranchology & gynecology. Never underestimate the persuasive appeal of the perfect “LinkedIn profile”, don’t deny the power of “The Triangle”, and JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with one of the most brutally heavy bands ever to emerge from the Commonwealth of Virginia as we celebrate Richmond’s own LAMB OF GOD.

#212 PANTERA PRE-GAME
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
“Awww mannn…”
As of the recording of this episode, we were hyping ourselves into a frenzy to get fired up and ready for the upcoming PANTERA show (with King Parrot and Lamb of God opening) at the Ameris Amphitheater in Alpharetta, Georgia on September 12th, 2023.
And as of the publishing of this episode, we will have already borne witness to the awesome display of power which made PANTERA the quintessential metal band of the 90’s (more on that later…), and for that, we give “bigly tremendous” thanks and our utmost respect to both Charlie Benante and Zakk Wylde for joining Phil Anselmo & Rex Brown in the global crusade of preserving the memory, sharing the music, and highlighting the timeless legacy of The Brothers Abbott, as well as showing the younger generations of metalheads why PANTERA was, is, and always will be so incredibly special to the world of heavy music.
(Again, more on that later…)
Get your “fish chicken” ready because it’s time to get “boned up about the wings” and prepare to understand why “mosquitos” are evil and “eminent domain” should be outlawed. Discover “the best Metallica album that Metallica didn’t release”, get your “PhD in balls” and JOIN US as we fire up the barbie, enjoy some relaxers, and wax nostalgic while preparing to behold the metal legacy of the band that dominated metal in the 90’s with the biggest djunts this side of the Rio Grande as Metal Nerdery Podcast proudly presents the PANTERA PRE-GAME.

By this point in time, nearly 2 years had passed since the release of Powerslave and nearly a year had passed since Live After Death was released, commemorating the World Slavery Tour of 1984-1985 that cemented IRON MAIDEN as one of the most legendary bands in all of metal. And just like with any other advancements forward impacting time and technology, SOMEWHERE IN TIME, their 6th studio album (and the first to include, wait for it: guitar synths) proved to be a quantum leap forward into the future sound of their brand of progressive metal, with enough ambiance and atmosphere to give the album a sound that feels very futuristic and modern, yet also sounds perfectly at home in 1986.
Always remember to take an “insurance pee” before engaging in any time travel activities and be sure to “slow down” and take a moment to “pump your own gravy” (even if you felt “barely bothered” to do so at the time) and JOIN US as we dive into one of the most “timeless” albums in Maiden’s history, complete with guitar synthesizers and more multi-layered guitar harmonies than you could shake an interdimensional scepter at as we dive into the wormhole of metal and travel elsewhere (and elsewhen) with IRON MAIDEN, SOMEWHERE IN TIME.

#210 DANZIG - Inside The Metal
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
If you were to blend the dark, heavy riffs of Sabbath & Zeppelin with the straight-ahead power of AC/DC and then add the incredible vocal crooning style of The Doors’ frontman Jim Morrison, mixing everything with a generous infusion of punk rock angst and Halloween themed, gothic horror vibes to tie it all together, the end result would be DANZIG, the “modern classic” sounding “horror metal” band fronted by GLENN DANZIG (formerly of Misfits & Samhain).
Prepare to enjoy yourself some quality horror croon from deep within the Bunkerpoon and head downstairs for some “dingle, dangle (followed by a liberal dose of ‘mind bleach’)” so you can finally comprehend what “between your cheek and gum” actually means while “making mugshots great again…so they can nay-nay” when you JOIN US as we dig deep into “The Johnny Cash of Metal” and dive into the eerie, inky-black darkness of DANZIG - Inside The Metal: The 80’s & 90’s.

#209 RUSH - Inside The Metal, 70’s Style
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
The 1970’s is one of the greatest decades in the history of the development of modern metal. Back in the 70’s, it was not at all uncommon to get 2 albums from the same artist within the same year! During the 70’s, you’d drop the needle on the record, turn on the lava lamps and the black lights, indulge in your preferred relaxer of choice, and be instantly transported to an alternate dimension of sonic bliss where, again, it was not at all uncommon to have the entire first side of an album consist of one song, especially when listening to RUSH and their trailblazing, early progressive metal output from the 1970’s.
Get ready to hear “one of the angriest riffs of 1976” while enjoying one of the most mind blowing “one take wonder” epics of all time with a massive “priapism of percussion” (aka “drumbone”). Prepare to learn about our 3-point plan to make the world a better place (including “fireproof trees”) and JOIN US as we extend our gratitude to the Godfathers of Progressive Metal hailing from the Great White North: the multi-instrumental, multi-tentacled (and multi-lingual) genius of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart: the “Holy Triumvirate” aka the Toronto Prog Wizards known collectively as RUSH, as we go Inside The Metal, 70’s Style!
