    #250 DEATH MATCH - MASTER OF PUPPETS vs REIGN IN BLOOD

    #250 DEATH MATCH - MASTER OF PUPPETS vs REIGN IN BLOOD

    For those who haven’t been following the bouncing ball(s), we’ve been discussing the ’86 DEATH MATCH since we did our ’88 Death Match a few episodes back (which was a complete bloodbath all on its own!) so we decided “What better way to commemorate our 5th anniversary as ‘The Number 2 Podcast Ever’ (behind Rogan) than to pit the two finest albums in the totality of thrash metal history against each other…to the death!?” 
     
    If you thought our ’88 Death Match between …And Justice For All and South Of Heaven was brutal, you’d better take a “get ready pill”, because you ain’t seen nothing yet. As with each matchup in our HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH series, the stakes are raised ever higher & the carnage escalates exponentially, and our ’86 HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH featuring Metallica’s MASTER OF PUPPETS and Slayer’s REIGN IN BLOOD is undoubtedly no exception. This was certainly not an easy task. In truth, it was quite “hard…rigid…difficult…” and given the sheer enormity of the task at hand, it was also downright “girthy”. From the most unbelievably legendary album openers (and closers) to the most haunting album art of any albums in thrash history, one thing remains clear with both of these ferocious audio offerings: “the bar is set”.
     
    Get ready to “mark ALL the times” and remember, even though this episode might be a tough pill to take for some, whatever you do, “don’t spit it out, just swallow it”. Prepare to “flatten the herd” and brace yourself for “moments of assholism” as we discuss “an eternal force that goes on forever” when you JOIN US for a day of celebration as we commemorate 5 years of Metal Nerdery madness with some “special guesteses” in The Bunkerpoon and go deep inside the octagon with our 1986 HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH featuring “the most powerfully majestic” metal of MASTER OF PUPPETS and the “Picasso devil” infused, thrash evilocity of REIGN IN BLOOD.

    #249 - NEW YORK HARDCORE

    #249 - NEW YORK HARDCORE

    Definitely “angsty” and undisputedly heavier, more aggressive, and focused than punk, NEW YORK HARDCORE  (NYHC) emerged at a time when punk was on its way out and thrash was on its way into the heavy music scene, ultimately becoming a “de facto” bridge between the thrash and punk scenes and eventually bringing them both together to bless the metal world with the new genre known as crossover (insert “shameless” United Forces reference here).
     
    It’s time to learn the best way to “lift weights” in the weight training community and discover how to avoid an unwelcome “updraft waft” that in no way resembles “a spring mountain day in Scotland”. Find out which band is “the Sabbath of thrash and the Zeppelin of metal” and behold the best Manscaped advertisement ever produced (which should hopefully keep us from becoming any more “off-putting and frankly, tiresome” than we already are) when you JOIN US as we look at the genre that helped to bridge the gap and unite the forces of punk and thrash: NEW YORK HARDCORE.

    #248 SABBATH MOB RULES - Album Dive

    #248 SABBATH MOB RULES - Album Dive

    “Is this the GOOD Sabbath or the BAD Sabbath?”
    We know what you’re thinking: “Wait, didn’t they skip a few albums in there somewhere? Did they put them all on Patreon or…what happened?” Rest assured, nothing has been skipped, however, we did jump ahead a little bit because “some of us” have been jonesing to fast forward through the BLACK SABBATH catalog by 3 albums or so and time travel straight to 1981 and the release of MOB RULES, the final studio album (at the time) from the legendary Ronnie James Dio era of the band. 
     
    There’s a certain distinctive sonic difference between Heaven And Hell and MOB RULES, primarily with regard to production. While Heaven And Hell tends to have a more “Rainbow meets Ozzy Sabbath” sound to it, MOB RULES sounds much more like the first three Dio solo albums from the early 80’s, so much so that it almost sounds like it could pass as a Rainbow, BLACK SABBATH, or even Dio record. But, at the end of the day, if you had to say, “THIS album sounds like BLACK SABBATH with Dio”, the only correct answer would be MOB RULES.
     
    Always remember that the difference between “hot ranch and ‘the smell of’ hot ranch” is as vast as the difference between a “frenulum piercing” and a “frenum piercing”. It’s high time we “right the wrongs” from a few episodes back and get “up close, pretty front” in order to understand that “the gravy’s got no giblets in it” when you JOIN US as we celebrate the most Ronnie James Dio sounding BLACK SABBATH album in heavy metal history as we dive into MOB RULES.

    #247 OUR DEFINING METAL MOMENTS

    The “Bunkerpoon After Dark” is a bit different than the usual Metal Nerdery Podcast format. It’s stripped down, bare, naked, and not unlike “The Triangle”, it’s unredacted, unfiltered, and completely raw. There’s not a lot of production quality, no shittah, no clinkies, and no beers of the episode, but it’s pure unbridled Metal Nerdery madness at its finest. 
     
    Think of this as a sample of the sort of “South American adult entertainment” you can expect from our Patreon episodes (which includes the now infamous “Hog Story”).
     
    So, give this a listen, give us a call at 980-666-8182 and tell us about the most defining metal moments in your life and JOIN US (here AND on Patreon) for a taste of the Metal Nerdery Podcast “Bunkerpoon After Dark” Patreon Preview.

    #246 - Metallica Covers

    #246 - Metallica Covers

    After catching Damage Inc. live in concert a few weeks back, we felt inspired to investigate the vast conglomeration of artists who have performed their own cover versions of songs originally written by the biggest cover band to have ever blessed heavy metal, the mighty METALLICA.
     
    Even though METALLICA have come a long way from their old school “dirty thrash” sound, modern artists continue to create their own interpretations of songs from throughout METALLICA’s vast catalog. Whether it’s completely reimagined with an entirely different arrangement or a faithful, note perfect rendition of the original all the way down to the production nuances, there are endless possibilities as to what you might hear.
     
    Always remember that “you eat and then shoot” because it’s important to “follow the instructions” to ensure things don’t “get out of hand”. Learn why “rolling your R’s” is an important social skill (especially when ordering at certain restaurants), get ready for some “brisket tips”, remain calm anytime you run out of “crème fraiche” or “the triangles are turning into rhombuses” and prepare to activate your laugh wheeze (“assuming we don’t get cancelled”) when you JOIN US as we give a listen to a veritable plethora of METALLICA COVERS.

    #245 - SLEEP - Inside The Metal

    #245 - SLEEP - Inside The Metal

    Before OM and High On Fire, there was the marijuana infused, Sabbath worshipping, stoner metal power trio hailing from San Jose, California known as SLEEP. Just saying the name transports you to a land filled with THC infused riffs, the sweet aroma of sinsemilla, and enough smoke to indicate that the pyramid sized bong is fully loaded and ready to transport you to another dimension of audio stonerdom. 
     
    Imagine Black Sabbath (circa Master of Reality) time traveling to SLEEP’s jam room in the early 90’s and bestowing upon them the knowledge of “the riff filled land” over a freshly ignited bowl of greens. Now add some retro sounding equipment boosted with the power of modern-day technology, tune the guitars and bass down even further, add way more fuzz and balls with a generous portion of freshly harvested relaxers and you’ve got the modern-day equivalent of Black Sabbath in their prime. SLEEP is such a powerful force that they are one of the few bands in the history of stoner metal to have sonically recreated what being supernaturally high actually sounds like.
     
    Prepare for the Weedian pilgrimage across the endless desert of time toward “the riff filled land” with the cannabis caravan, complete with “all the shag carpet”, “all the wood paneling” and a jam room that likely resembles a “rumpus room” and “smells like 1976”. Find out what happens “when you’re expecting bubbles and you don’t get bubbles”, get ready to “go bumpski before the show”, and discover why getting “frontloaded” on “the most safe ‘less safe’ drug” is the only way to properly prepare when you JOIN US for a green tinted, smoke-filled trip INSIDE THE METAL with San Jose’s pioneers of stoner metal, SLEEP.
