Shai Hulud is a name that is synonymous with hardcore and metalcore. This makes it very hard to be objective when discussing this all time great and pioneering band. Bryan Patton of As The Story Grows was kind enough to step in and help us stay objective. #discussmetal #ShaiHulud #AsTheStoryGrows Bryan Patton and As The Story Grows can be found at http://www.asthestorygrows.com && http://bit.ly/AsTheStoryGrows Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmet...

When things take a turn for the weird, Matt Naas of the Roach Koach podcast stepped up to give us the push we needed to discuss the German powerhouse, Rammstein. Is Rammstein industrial? Are they metal? Are the scary? Are the offensive? We dive into all of that and more. Also the answer to all of the questions is yes. #discussmetal #Rammstein Matt Naas, Roach Koach, and all Gabber Media podcasts can be found at https://www.gabbermedia.com && www.roachkoach.com Join our Patreon: Discograp...

Facedown records is a label most would associate with hardcore. That is what makes “Hope for the Dying” such an anomaly. They are a band that plays with hardcore bands every night, but is firmly rooted in progressive metal. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe attempt to make sense of each complicated slab of metal that Hope for the Dying throws down.

When you ask somebody about Diamond Head the first response is usually “isn’t that the band that influenced Metallica?” The short answer is yes. However, the question must be asked, “why isn’t Diamond Head bigger than they are considering the huge push they got from Metallica?” On this episode of Discography Discussion the answer becomes abundantly clear, and we hope you enjoy it! #discussmetal #DiamondHead Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon D...

OMG its Oh, Sleeper! On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe dive into one of Dan’s favorite Solid State bands. Dan claims everything the band does is pure gold, while Joe airs his reservations. Did the band hide references to the original Doom games in their second album? What is it about Oh, Sleeper that makes them unique in a sea of imitators?

It’s hard work being an unpleasable metal fan. On one hand, we love it when a band sticks to their guns and has a consistent sound. But, it’s easy to get bored with a band who always does the same thing. After all, variety is the spice of life. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan, Joe, and Josh try to decide if The Black Dahlia Murder’s lack of variety is a good thing, or just more of the same. Enjoy. #discussmetal #TheBlackDahliaMurder Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patr...

Some musicians never reach the level of success that their first big band achieved. When a musician attempts to start over fresh they can sometimes be bogged down by their previous reputation. On this episode of Discography Discussion, we ask is DevilDriver another one of those bands? Dan, Joe, and Josh don’t think so, and may even prefer DevilDriver over Coal Chamber. #discussmetal #DevilDriver Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography D...

Did you know that makeup and carnivals are actually really scary? We are dreadfully aware of this fact, and in order to make sense of the Swedish metal band Avatar, we had to call Geoff out of retirement to explain it. Had Avatar always planned on being a band strong on image, and small on substance? Or did they actually start out as one of Sweden’s premier melodic death metal bands?

When was the last time you heard a band that was truly doing something different? In a genre of music where innovation is required, yet actively discouraged at the same time, it can be hard to really stand out from the crowd. Apocalyptica takes on this challenge with cellos in hand. Tonight, we discuss the band’s rise from being a gimmick cover band, to a well respected innovator in the metal scene.

Despite Dan’s cries of anguish and refusal to do this episode, we are finally going to talk about Staind. We talk about the band’s humble beginnings and how much potential Dysfunction had. Did the rest of Staind’s catalog hold up to the expectations leveled towards the band? Is Staind the nu-metal frontrunner that defined the genre as a whole?

In the early 2000s, and in the wake of Living Sacrifice breaking up, a number of emerging Christian metal bands competed to take the same mantle. The Showdown was one of these bands that started with an early fire, yet found their voice in a collection of searing riffs and southern tinged melodies. Did they succeed?

On this episode of Discography Discussion, we dive into Impending Doom, a band that will definitely scare the “hell” out of you. Does every album “replace” the album before it?

We end this Nu-Metal May with a bang, and give everyone’s definitive nu-metal band, Limp Bizkit, “The Treatment.” Not wanting to take this lightly, we called in Lorin Kozlowski of the Roach Koach podcast to give us added perspective. This episode also marks the official return of our original co-host, Josh, to the show.

Nu-Metal May rolls on with P.O.D. on this episode of Discography Discussion. P.O.D. was the band in the late 90’s that made “Christian rock” acceptable for the masses. It’s hard to talk about a band that objectively had a major influence in the post 9/11 music scene. We decided to call in Bryan Patton of the “As the Story Grows” podcast to help us shine some light on these innovators. Also, Bryan gives his thoughts on Norma Jean, as well as some Hopesfall insight that Dan is especially intereste...

Have you ever listened to a band you grew up with and wondered “why isn’t this band more popular?” That is the question that plagued Dan and Joe throughout Spineshank’s discography. They had all the elements of a hit band, but for some reason were overshadowed by their peers. If you are looking for a good nu-metal experience, you really can’t go wrong with Spineshank…..mostly. #discussmetal #Spineshank #numetalmay Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpa...

When a band loses their most iconic member it can be devastating. It can be nearly impossible to come back in the eyes of fans. No matter what you do, it doesn't “sound the same”. Joined by Jon Beatty of the BREWtally Speaking podcast, Dan and Joe try to answer the question; “Did Drowning Pool recover? Or did they drown in a pool of mediocrity? #discussmetal #NuMetalMay #DrowningPool Jon Beatty and “BREWtally Speaking” - http://bit.ly/BREWtallySpeaking && http://bit.ly/BREWtallySpeakingT...

Some bands spend most of their career trying to carve out their fanbase by steadily building upon what made them a big hit in the first place. What do you do with a band like Becoming the Archetype?

This week, we go down to Brazil to talk about “Krig,” one of Dan’s favorite death metal bands. Expect lots of blast beats, technical wankery, and impossibly deep vocals as we try to figure out if death metal can be progressive.
