B.O.N.U.S. Kast #72: "Post-Human: Survival Horror" by Bring Me the Horizon. A band that certainly owes at least a little bit to nu-metal, we discuss our metalcore histories and how this band got so freaking huge. $4 for three bonuses a month! www.patreon.com/posts/139486...

Y'All Want a Single #113: "I Shot Lucifer" by Bionic Jive. One of the more rap-forward groups of the era, this album and song arrive 5 years too late with some of the most vague "guy says stuff to try to sound deep/political" lyrics we've ever covered. www.patreon.com/posts/138996...

Episode 73: (hed)pe's "(hed)pe", or Are You Sure About That? It's the debut album that makes a lot of choices that leave us saying "are you sure about that?" Plus, the Aaron Lewis/Springsteen thing, we review "private music", and a guy jacks off at a Korn show. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

The people in this airport don’t even know I’m listening to (hed)pe

Y'All Want a Single #112: "Time 2 Shine" by E-Town Concrete. We're going hardcore on this episode and we discover ETC later went rap-metal, so we dive into that too. $4 for 3 bonuses a month! www.patreon.com/posts/137646...

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #71: "The $UICIDEBOY$ Mix" w/ @libbycwatson.com. It's trap-metal time on the POD Kast as we turn into old men yelling at clouds over this deeply strange collection of songs. Well, Bryan is happily yelling at the cloud because he somehow likes it. www.patreon.com/posts/137315...

Y'All Want a Single #111: "Holy Man" by One Minute Silence. We hop across the pond for some Irish nu-metal, brought to you by a band that clearly listened to a lot of Rage and a lot of Tool. And hey, it kinda works. $4 for 3 bonus episodes a month! www.patreon.com/posts/136290...

Episode 72: 30 Seconds To Mars' "30 Seconds To Mars", or How To Say a Lot Without Saying Anything At All. Jared Leto is here, and he's as dumb as we all hoped. Insane lyrics, even more insane interviews, and surprisingly, music that's kind of ok for an actor band. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/3...

Y'All Want a Single #110: "System" by Jonathan Davis. If Jonathan Davis records all the songs for a movie soundtrack but then his label won't let him be on the actual physical OST, does it make a sound? It does to us, as we review this QOTD soundtrack classic. www.patreon.com/posts/135238...

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #70: "12 Stones" by 12 Stones w/ @riviera.bsky.social. Riv is back to discuss Youth Group bands, artist substitution cards, and this painfully mid album that accomplishes almost nothing it sets out to do. Other than worship Jesus, I guess. www.patreon.com/posts/134811...

It is the first tie we have had, and we decided on yesterday's bonus episode to let @riviera.bsky.social choose which of the tied albums we should do. She selected....30 Seconds to Mars. See you next month

Y'All Want a Single #109: "Linda Claire" by Fleshwater. It's a new nu band that has toured with Deftones, which is more than enough to get us in the door. The song whips ass and so does talking about the Wu-Tang Clan farewell tour at length. $4 for 3 bonuses a month! www.patreon.com/posts/yall-w...

if you're a fan of @thepodkast.bsky.social talking about Slipknot, we had them on our show last year to talk about .5: The Gray Chapter www.patreon.com/posts/108398... soundcloud.com/rockhardcauc...

Episode 71: Slipknot's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" or Stories=Bullshit. Slipknot decides on a slight pop turn for their third record and indulges in the most egregious myth-making to date, which is crazy for a band whose entire thing is myth-making. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

This is one of the best dumb guys trying to sound smart things ever

David Draiman and Disturbed are what they are, but I actually think it might be talking about Slipknot that brings out the best in our pod. Wild recording today, episode out Monday

Y'All Want a Single #108: "Stress Builds Character" by Dystopia. Never before has a song made so many listeners say "wait, you're covering THAT band???" and it didn't take very long to find out why. www.patreon.com/posts/132871...

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #69: "Device" by Device. In many ways, this is the album we were meant to cover. Disturbed's David Draiman does a side project and for some inexplicable reason, also does a YouTube video explaining every song. We break every video down, here. $4. www.patreon.com/posts/132516...

Y'All Want a Single #107: "The Truth" by Limp Bizkit. We dip into LB's "Unquestionable Truth" era for the first time with this RATM-baiting song that is kinda good but shows maybe we can't trust Fred with "serious" lyrics. www.patreon.com/posts/131349...

Episode 70: Rage Against the Machine's "The Battle of Los Angeles", or Rage's Last Stand. It is extremely obvious RATM did not like each other while making this final original record, but it is also obvious that it bangs. Plus, Bryan reviews Sonic Temple. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/r...

I’m out there on the Rehearsal subreddit/Nathan Fielder Twitter plugging @thepodkast.bsky.social and if you aren’t helping you’re a part of the problem

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #68: "I Let It In and It Took Everything" by Loathe w/ @schaaptop.bsky.social. One of the best of the new crop of nu-metal bands, we dig into Loathe's love for Deftones and Slipknot, and Ryan and Bryan's love of the White Stripes. www.patreon.com/posts/b-o-n-...

Y'All Want a Single #105: "Werewolf" by Motionless in White. If you think the song title "Werewolf" is tongue-in-cheek or a metaphor, in this case, it ain't. We got yelps, we got a scary video, and we got lyrics about being a dang werewolf. It's fun. www.patreon.com/posts/128953...

Episode 69: Brian "Head" Welch's "Save Me From Myself", or How Korn Gave Head to Christ lol. It's our longest episode ever and it had to be, as this album has more lore than almost any other. It's as insane as you think and the music is way better than you think. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/b...

Y’All Want a Single #104: “I Go Solo” by Psycore. Why are all the Swedish nu-metal guys so weird? We don’t have the answer, but we do listen to the latest entry in the strange Swedish canon that borrows a lot from electronica at the time. www.patreon.com/posts/127789...

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #67: “70s Hits From the Pit” by Hed(pe) w/ @jasonlipshutz.bsky.social. It’s a Hed(pe) covers album and we cover it from its conception (who is it for?) to its eventuality (why does it exist?). We also talk about Jason’s Linkin Park book at length. $4! www.patreon.com/posts/127415...

Episode 68: Coal Chamber's "Chamber Music", or the Nu-Sophomore Slump. Perhaps nu-metal's most egregious sophomore slump that Bryan hated then and now, Coal Chamber tries to run away from the genre and ends up with this, a confused mess that never hits the mark. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

i love the @thepodkast.bsky.social discord

I loved this album and had a wonderful time listening to it 😐👍

This quote from the lead singer of coal chamber might be one of the funniest I’ve read doing the podkast

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #66: "Elect the Dead Symphony"by Serj Tankian w/ @numetalmoment.bsky.social. A vanity project of a vanity project, Serj takes his solo project to the Auckland Symphony with absolutely disastrous results. $4 for 3 bonuses a month! www.patreon.com/posts/125248...

The Poll for April is UP! It's a genuinely curious one this month, a great group of B-Tier bands and an album by Coal Chamber everyone hates. No clue who will win. Voting is on our Patreon but it's free to do so. You make the call! www.patreon.com/posts/124718...

Y'All Want a Single #101: "Send the Pain Below" by Midwife. It's a slowcore cover of a nu-metal classic that sounds very pretty and to Bryan, sounds very weird juxtaposed against being at the Arnold Classic. www.patreon.com/posts/124330...

Episode 67: Deftones' "Adrenaline", or Bryan's Favorite. It's one of the true tentpoles of nu-metal, Bryan declares "Adrenaline" his favorite album of all-time. It absolutely still whips and points not just to where Deftones were going, but where music was. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

This was a total blast! Thanks again Bryan and John! I hate Steely Dan!

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #65: YWAS Rankdown 2 w/ @cassidy2099.bsky.social. Lorin from Roach Koach joins us to break down the 51-100 YWAS songs and ranking them all. Will your favorite come out on top? Only one way to find out as we go WAY deep on this one. www.patreon.com/posts/123286...

The March Poll is UP and it is a doozy! Vote for free now on our Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/122714...

Episode 66: Bloodhound Gang's "One Fierce Beer Coaster", or Once You Jimmy Pop, the Fun Does Stop. This a truly heinous and lazy album full of cliche jokes and formulaic beats, but we get introspective on the 90s culture of shitty white guys (which we both were). podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

Have an hour to kill at the airport. I hope no one sees this

Y'All Want a Single #100: "Pitiful" by Blindside. 100 of these damn things! And a perfect band and song for 100: A C-tier Swedish Christian nu-metal band whose biggest claim to fame was appearing in C-Tier teen sex comedy "Grind". $4 for three bonuses a month! www.patreon.com/posts/121083...

Bryan made his own playlist of the YWAS singles we've covered because he didn't realize we already have one. (Nearly) every song we've ever reviewed for YWAS is right here: open.spotify.com/playlist/3o6...

I forgot to take my meds that morning and thus was almost literally incapable of shutting up

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #63: “Nativity in Black II: A Tribute to Black Sabbath” w/ @oldmanweldon.bsky.social. A bunch of very respectable covers from Nu-metal giants and one of the worst songs we’ve ever covered courtesy of Hed(pe). This ep has it all!!! www.patreon.com/posts/120666...
