In May of 1994, an album by the unpronouncable name of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas was released by the controversial Norwegian black metal group Mayhem... Or at least the band's surviving members. Take a deep dive into one of our darkest episodes yet as we explore just what happened in Norway's black metal scene from 1987 to 1994.

In 2003, while touring for their chart-topping album "Home," the Dixie Chicks made a brief statement opposing the upcoming Iraq War. Everything was fine, and nothing bad happened!

Jack spent so much time setting up this album that he forgot to talk about it in the previous episode! It's okay though, Spencer stuck around so we could all peek through the Dirty Window of Metallica's most turbulent period of their careers, all thanks to the documentary "Some Kind of Monster."

Before Jack and Spencer get into St. Anger, they dive into the history of Metallica's past grievances up to the year 2000, which contributed to their emotional state before producing the most loathed album of all time. This primarily includes the infamous dispute between drummer Lars Ulrich and Spotify's dirty uncle: Napster. Also Jack figures out a way to bring up Radiohead because he's a creep he's a weirdo.

After the mediocre release of "Warning" (2000), Green Day needed a top-notch followup. The Anaheim punk trio set to work on their seventh studio album: "Cigarettes and Valentines," a deviation from the acoustic/folk-punk sound that fans rejected in "Warning." Before its 2003 release, band members claim the album's master-tapes were stolen, never to be recovered. In lieu of doing it all over again, the band would write and release "American Idiot" (2004), a smash-hit that rocketed them to more fame than they knew how to waste.
