I mean. . . Ultimate? Like frisbee? C'mon now. What is the ultimate sin? Maybe it's listening to this record. Maybe something much worse. We shall see.

Twice a year, we go off-format. No riffs, no blast beats, no blast beats debates. This time, Hardin and Timony are transmitting from somewhere the FCC never sanctioned — a frequency so confrontational, so deliberately overwhelming, that it didn't jus... more

    1 It’s no mystery James’ voice has changed as he’s gotten older. 2. Whoever claimed they don’t like Metallica doing doing songs about war, are you actually into metal? 3. Shortest Straw was a single, it’s not a deep cut. 4. Yes, Cliff was the oldest. If you think Orion is not good, You Myst Be Stoopid Alright. 5. I don’t listen to podcasts to hear dudes that know less than me. Do better.

  • Woke leftist reviewing metal

    Show is good in regards to subjects, bantor, what's new in metal, etc. What sours the podcast for me is every episode includes some sort of left wing, woke ideology talk. If I wanted to listen to that, I would listen to the view. I will stick with Eddie Trunk - politic free.
