Shai Hulud is a name that is synonymous with hardcore and metalcore. This makes it very hard to be objective when discussing this all time great and pioneering band. Bryan Patton of As The Story Grows was kind enough to step in and help us stay objective. #discussmetal #ShaiHulud #AsTheStoryGrows

When things take a turn for the weird, Matt Naas of the Roach Koach podcast stepped up to give us the push we needed to discuss the German powerhouse, Rammstein. Is Rammstein industrial? Are they metal? Are the scary? Are the offensive? We dive into all of that and more. Also the answer to all of the questions is yes. #discussmetal #Rammstein

Facedown records is a label most would associate with hardcore. That is what makes “Hope for the Dying” such an anomaly. They are a band that plays with hardcore bands every night, but is firmly rooted in progressive metal. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe attempt to make sense of each complicated slab of metal that Hope for the Dying throws down. Enjoy! #discussmetal #HopeForTheDying

When you ask somebody about Diamond Head the first response is usually “isn’t that the band that influenced Metallica?” The short answer is yes. However, the question must be asked, “why isn’t Diamond Head bigger than they are considering the huge push they got from Metallica?” On this episode of Discography Discussion the answer becomes abundantly clear, and we hope you enjoy it! #discussmetal #DiamondHead

OMG its Oh, Sleeper! On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe dive into one of Dan’s favorite Solid State bands. Dan claims everything the band does is pure gold, while Joe airs his reservations. Did the band hide references to the original Doom games in their second album? What is it about Oh, Sleeper that makes them unique in a sea of imitators? Find out, and enjoy. #discussmetal #OhSleeper

It’s hard work being an unpleasable metal fan. On one hand, we love it when a band sticks to their guns and has a consistent sound. But, it’s easy to get bored with a band who always does the same thing. After all, variety is the spice of life. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan, Joe, and Josh try to decide if The Black Dahlia Murder’s lack of variety is a good thing, or just more of the same. Enjoy. #discussmetal #TheBlackDahliaMurder

Some musicians never reach the level of success that their first big band achieved. When a musician attempts to start over fresh they can sometimes be bogged down by their previous reputation. On this episode of Discography Discussion, we ask is DevilDriver another one of those bands? Dan, Joe, and Josh don’t think so, and may even prefer DevilDriver over Coal Chamber. #discussmetal #DevilDriver

Did you know that makeup and carnivals are actually really scary? We are dreadfully aware of this fact, and in order to make sense of the Swedish metal band Avatar, we had to call Geoff out of retirement to explain it. Had Avatar always planned on being a band strong on image, and small on substance? Or did they actually start out as one of Sweden’s premier melodic death metal bands? Find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. #discussmetal #Avatar

When was the last time you heard a band that was truly doing something different? In a genre of music where innovation is required, yet actively discouraged at the same time, it can be hard to really stand out from the crowd. Apocalyptica takes on this challenge with cellos in hand. Tonight, we discuss the band’s rise from being a gimmick cover band, to a well respected innovator in the metal scene. Enjoy. #discussmetal #Apocalyptica
