An album so nice we reviewed it twice!

Well I'm sick of you toooooooo.

Not very nu metal but I owe the account's existence to them.

Gators are nu-metal.

Skrape, Evanescence, and a whole lot more than you might think. Journeyman drummer extraordinaire Will Hunt.

"Hey whatever happened to..."

The question on everyone's lips: Is Militarie Gun a nu-metal band? Find out with the Nu Metal Agenda.

The illustrious PODKast join us to speak on Korn's mountaintop moment.

And some dirt about *beep*

How back is this thing really? Like everyone says 'it's back' but is it? Myself, Riv and renowned journalists Jasmine Li and Drew Millard work to get to the bottom of the question on everybody's mind.

The first of our guests whose foray into nu-metal was inspired by my Twitter account; we have the esteemed Gary B on to talk life, liberty and the pursuit of breakdowns.

What goes around has come back around as we chat with the legend Cristian Machado about 23 odd years in the nu-metal spotlight and his new chapter in Lions at the Gate.

Tony Campos and Edsel Dope grace the cast with their presence!! A wide ranging and effective episode ensues.

I never argue against the nu-metal allegations but here I felt compelled to. I think Filter has some nu-metal songs but a nu-metal band? Well, the resulting conversation is an interesting one as we talk Nine Inch Nails, The Amalgamut turning 20, and the future for us all.

A true dream episode for me, we give the excellent and unjustly forgotten Simon Says their due in an epic 2.5 hour interview that covers their career and thensome.

Good Charlotte may be well known as pop-punk royalty but guitarist and producer Billy Martin feels it necessary to claim his nu-metal bonafides on air and we're happy to have him. Join us as he recounts the band's ascendence and what it means to be a professional musician now.

We all know "Duality" the era defining music video but what was it like to be boots on the ground that day? We've got music video cast members Matt, Zach and Benjamin on the show today to report just how insane it really was to you all.

The NMA is thrilled to welcome Stephen Richards and Phil Lipscomb of the almighty Taproot to the program!! A significant band to the development of the genre in too many ways to count we go in depth on Taproot's highs, lows and the future.

The Nu Metal Agenda is proud to welcome nu-metal's most gracious frontman Lajon Witherspoon to regale us of Sevendust's most crazy ass moments. You will listen. 

SEASON THREEEEEEE!!! The Nu Metal Agenda returns in FORCE with the world renowned @saywhatagain joining us to discuss peak-Bizkit peak-CD peak-Everything 1999 album SIGNIFICANT OTHER!! Listen now...

The mysterious frontman of the hyped new nu band Swollen Teeth comes to us for his first podcast appearance. We're honored and excited to be bringing it to you today. Listen in...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE UNLOCKED FOR 20TH ANNIVERSARY:::::

Creating a good faith environment to speak on nu-metal's best means we can speak on nu-metal's worst. For when nu-metal failed, it failed hard and in truly fascinating ways. Which is why we're announcing this new, Patreon exclusive series Full Nelson. And we're not launching this with any old album, no, we're launching it at the very bottom. That's right. It's Metallica's St Anger. 

Well financed and well successful in the UK it's Tim King of the mighty SOiL to give us the rundown of the band's resilient career and unfortuante release date of their big 2001 major label debut Scars.

While we get the nu season revved up and ready to go with our heart, soul, mind and passion we've gotta bring you some of this sweet sweet content in the meantime. Today, it's a post-Mother's Day Mother's Day episode with O.K. KO! and the landmark episode "Know Your Mom" which featured Jonathan Davis as elderly villain Succulentus. Show storyboard team member Parker Simmons worked on the episode and has lots of fun stories to tell.

Here's a totally fun thing we'll never do again. We went live on Twitch and Zoom and then invited people to come hang. The Discord peeps were awesome! Then I got cocky and tweeted the zoom link out. That part was a little weirder. Still totally worth it but once I realized the risk we were taking well I don't think we'll ever be doing that again. Still! Enjoy this. We're gonna go on break now so I can work on booking guests and recording episodes. Love all who contributed to season two, season three is gonna be huge.

Max Cavalera departs Sepultura amidst contentious circumstances and forms Soulfly. Does he top his former band? The NMA and internet historian Justin Whang are thinking maybe he did... Maybe he did...

Truly, the PB&J of nu-metal's cultural moment.

It's HEALTHBILLY DELUXE as Johnny returns for a deep dive into Rob Zombie's 1999 smash album before we crack our heads on the bottom of the pool realizing you can't really 'deep dive' Hellbilly Deluxe. Then we talk about Tool for a while. 

As valid as any album we'll ever cover we get into the soundtrack of the 1999 classic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and what made it such an unforgettable collection. And we had to bring PODKast superstar John Cullen along. He's only a world ranked Pro Skater player and personal friend of Tony Hawk himself. 

As the 20th anniversary of Linkin Park's massive, genre finale sophomore album Meteora comes we discuss the album with two of the genius brain trust behind @LPLive, the web's foremost Linkin Park database.

Tacking the big one with one of modern rock's definitive writers Ian Cohen. It's Deftones. It's White Pony. It's a possibly intoxicated Holiday Kirk with a weird bone to pick about Pitchfork scores. 

The NMA are joined by MTV Fresh Out host and nu-metal scholar Kevan Kenney to examine the relationship between MTV, TRL and nu-metal.

The NMA and the Daoboys, Callous go in on a earth quaking debut from one of nu-metal's definitive bands and then things get loose and we start talking about every System album. 

We were not the first to discover the fertile ground known only as Nu Metal Podcasting. Before us was The PODKast and before them was Roach Koach, both of whom are worth your time. Today, we welcome the PODKast's loveable ornery hosts John Cullen and the enigmatically known Murder bЯyan to dish on the millions of dollars this has made them as well as fans and sold out shows.  

Well. Where should I start? Korn, Sepultura, Slipknot, At the Drive-In, Glassjaw... And those are just the ones I can think of right now at 1AM uploading this episode so it's ready in time for all the morning commuters out there. I mean, it's Ross f**king Robinson on a podcast called "The Nu Metal Agenda." How cool is that? 

If dysfunction is a function than Pitchshifter rabble rouser, mischief maker and occasional musician JS Clayden must be some kinda... smart person doing guy. But is he also nu-metal? With the always charming Terry Beez in tow, we dive in. 

AEW professional wrestler and self described nu-metal girl stops by the NMA for a special early morning episode to utterly school admin and CEO Holiday Kirk, alongside special co-host pinch hitter Matty Monroe of Indieheads, in all things wrestling and more things nu-metal than expected. 

On the eve of his new (nu?) record VOID ETERNAL nothing,nowhere graces our fair podcast to espouse his nu-metal bonafides and how those influences shape the album.

In what I can only describe as a dream episode for me we give Nick Giumenti of My Ticket Home his flowers for the incredible and way ahead of it 2013 nu-metal classic Strangers Only along with the rest of their stellar catalogue.

We're turning it around like a knife on the shelf as UK rockcrit journo extraordinaire Terry Beez educates us on the cultural phenomenon Slipknot was across the pond and we get distracted just naming UK nu-metal bands for a while too. 

We are back baby. BACK you hear me! Season two!! Kicking it off proper all smiles we're talking favorite nu-metal bands tune in.

Yeah you may have heard of this one. It is Korn. By Korn. 1994. Featuring celebrity guest Stin of arguably-but-most-likely-some-would-even-say-unquestionably nu-metal heroes Chat Pile. We get into it and Kirk works himself into a real tizzy trying to explain why he loves it, it sucks.
