Melodic Metal

Go big or go home! It’s finally time for Discography Discussion to talk about Van Halen. Joined by Jon Drake of the Nerfherder Council, Joe leads the charge into this mighty band’s discography. Expect plenty of Eddie and Alex fanboy moments on this one.  While the core of this band has not changed much over time, and fans can be polar opposite when it comes to who the singer is, there is no doubting Van Halen’s influence on so many guitar players and heavy metal bands.  No one can hold back this eruption, so strap in and enjoy! #discussmetal #vanhalen

On this episode of Discography Discussion we dive into the four albums by Norwegian band In Vain, a band with their own flavor of progressive extreme metal.  Dan struggles with his lack of comprehension for the composition of these songs, and can't figure out if the band or he himself are the problem.  Have Dan and Joe met their match on this one?  Find out now! Enjoy! #discussmetal #invain

Atreyu is a band that likes to keep you guessing.  Are they going to do the thing you are expecting on each album?  Are they going to do the thing you like, or something you hate?  Dan and Joe do their best to try to explain the many different incarnations of this band and also explain why they are worth your time. Enjoy! #discussmetal #atreyu

On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan and Joe dig into the demented minds of The Red Chord.  Prepare yourself for discussions about groovy grindcore,1940s Chicago fires, and the many faces of mental health “clients.” It’s going to get heavy and weird for a while.  Enjoy! #discussmetal #theredchord

Fans of progressive music can sometimes have trouble “getting into” newer bands in the genre.  The reasoning is different for everyone, but it can sometimes be hard to give a band a chance when stacked against giants of the genre.  Is Rivers of Nihil able to convince Dan and Joe that they have something unique to offer in comparison to their favorite progressive bands?  You’ll just have to click play to find out.

We have made fun of Cradle of Filth on this show for FAR too long.  It’s time to do the work and get the proper context behind this band.  Are these guys black metal?  Can Dan stop being a metal elitist long enough to just enjoy a band for what they ARE?  Find out how much our eyes have been opened on this heavily requested episode. Enjoy!  #discussmetal #cradleoffilth

As we pivot away from nu-metal back into more familiar territory, Dan and Joe turn to Battlecross for salvation.  Is this band’s intense cocktail of melodic death metal , thrash, and traditional heavy metal enough to convince Dan that modern bands can still deliver on the level of more classic metal bands?  I guess you will find out!  Also, we take some time to cover new opportunities on this episode of Discography Discussion.  Check it out! #discussmetal #Battlecross

Album of the weekDan - Serration “Shrine Of Consciousness”Joe - HERIOT “Profound Morality”

We finish up Nu-Metal May this year by discussing the often overlooked Flaw.  Is Flaw a hidden gem in nu-metal history?  Joe thinks so, some of the time.  Dan is not convinced, but we’re both down for the discussion.  Enjoy! #discussmetal #Flaw

Can star power association carry a band?  This is the question everyone had about Adema when the band broke into the nu-metal scene in 2001, and there is an association with another very popular band.  On this episode of Discography Discussion we dig into everything Adema has to offer, and see if this band had merit on their own, or if they were riding the wave of somebody else’s success.  Spoilers:  We like Adema. Enjoy. #discussmetal #Adema

As Dan struggles to recover from the Papa Roach episode, Joe decided it was time for him to try out some Dope.  Love them or hate them, Dope makes heavy, sincere, and downright evil caveman music. How does their catalog stack up from the 90s to the modern day?  We will let you decide, but hats off to a band that has a clear vision.  Don't miss this one. #discussmetal #dope
