S03Ep07 - Summoning Ourselves to do a Podcast
We're back again! This time with a somewhat recent release by the mysterious, yet creative UK band Sleep Token.

We also get a rundown from Julian and a very special gig he recently attended.

S03 Ep06 - Bangin' Our Noses on the Grindstone
A massive change up in this episode, with a country song out of nowhere! 'Nose on the Grindstone' by Tyler Childers is a modern country masterpiece that the three of us all enjoy. Yes, this is a playlist typically about heavy music, but this song is so great that we couldn't resist!

S3 Ep03 - Levitating to New Podcast Heights
In this episode we discuss Scottish heavyweights 'Bleed from Within' and their ripping track 'Levitate'. This is our first episode in a while without Julian, as he was embarking on some personal adventures that I'm sure we'll hear all about soon. Joel and Dan take charge discussing the best elements of the song - from the intensity of the drums to the wonderful addition of the strings section. Pop those headphones in or turn those speakers on, and enjoy!

S3 Ep02 - Checking our Ancestry with August Burns Red
Joel, Jules and Dan are back again - this time with one of our old favourites August Burns Red and their recent song Ancestry, featuring vocals from Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage. As usual, we discuss the band's history and break down the song. This is in fact our second episode on August Burns Red. So for those old school listeners who heard our previous ABR episode - thank you for sticking around! We decided to do another one, as it has been a few years and the original episode was recorded in unideal circumstances.
S3 Ep01 - Flicking The Doomswitch
Our first feature song of season three and 2023 - 'Doomswitch' by Make Them Suffer. As usual, we break down the song, run through the band's history and somehow manage waffle our way through 49 minutes of content. As a bonus, we throw in some of our personally favourite lyrics, and a few misheard ones too!
S3 Ep00 - 2022 in Review
We decided to jump into 2023 with something a little different, by reflecting on previous podcasts and discussing the world of metal in 2022. We also decided to something a little fun and break down our top albums of all time!
S02Ep10 - Parasite For My Valentine
This one is long overdue. Despite a late decision to change the feature artist for this episode, there was plenty to talk about! Bullet for My Valentine has been on the metal scene for two decades and has been a major influence on Joel and Dan. Hit that play button, and enjoy!
S02E09 - All the Light we Don't See in the Moon
After a short hiatus, we are back to yarn on about some tunes from the Australian rockers 'Thornhill'. We break down their song with the most radio spins in Darwin (listen to the end to find out what this means) 'Lily And The Moon' along with it's lead-in track 'All The Light We Don't See'. We also have a bit to say about some current topics in the metal community. Chuck in those earbuds and get amongst it!

This episode we breakdown the guitar maestros from Polyphia and their nylon string shredder 'Playing God'.
S2Ep07 - 5FDP and their Gold Gutters
This one has been in the works for a long time!
