Tracey is a sentient prog metal algorithm composed of chicken blood and spreadsheets (@KloakaMetal), Ben is an oldhead with a penchant for nihilism, sludge, and bourbon (@BenDangerously), Dr. David Pizzo (@pizzohistorian) is a world-traveling scholar who bleeds thrash, and Dr. Gabriel Cooper (@lividlunch) when not reveling in a metalcore breakdown brings a plethora of death from the cavernous depths of his murder basement. Together they are just four metalheads giving their thoughts on bands and albums across the metallic spectrum.

    Discography Blast 74: Deftones

    David and Tracey have both spoken fondly of Deftones. Benjamin has expressed is distaste for them. Gabe is coming in blind. Will Gabe fall in with David and Tracey or will he dislike the band as much as Ben? Long time listener's probably know the answer.
