On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Goeff analyze if In This Moment have achieved changing our expectations, or if they are sheep in wolves clothing. #discussmetal #InThisMoment Join...

Welcome to Movie Mosh! Dan, Joe, and Mike sit down to watch one of the most metal animated films of all time, Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord Of The Rings. At a time when clever animation was casually defined as “whatever Disney was releasing this week,” Ralph Bakshi had his own style, and managed to put his own message into his films. The Lord Of The Rings may have been mistakenly released alongside Rankin/Bass The Hobbit, and The Return Of The King, but do not be mistaken. This film is not the same an...

The concept of a “hidden gem” is so overplayed nowadays that its original meaning is starting to become lost.

Geoff returns to the show to help us sort through each album, and let you know exactly why you should give Mnemic a chance to impress you.
