We're feeling nostalgic on this week's show, so we thought we'd take a trip back twenty whole years to 2002! Merl and Steve discuss what was a unique and rather transitional year for heavy music - nu metal had peaked, the metalcore and emo explosions... more
And the big releases keep coming! Merl and Steve sift through some absolute bangers this week as we discuss whether the new Zeal & Ardor album has brought Manuel Gagneux's vision to new heights, whether Cult Of Luna's The Long Road North is up to the... more
It's the first of what we can safely assume is going to be a large number of absolutely stacked review round-ups for 2022! Merl and Steve get stuck into new Korn album Requiem and discuss why sometimes less is more (and why, all these years later, no... more
It's finally here! Part 2 of our big 2022 preview has arrived, and on this week's show Merl and El answer all your burning questions about the year ahead. Questions such as: will touring really come back to life this year? What are the best festival ... more

Great presenters with obvious chemistry - manages to have a revolving cast of contributors without compromising on identity. Recent format shift away from the straight ahead news, then questions format has been managed really well and made for a much more interesting podcast. Reviews roundups and deeper dives are particularly well done, and the hall of fame is a fantastic dive into one band. Great complement to the magazine.
Ryan has left “TNM”, so congratulations El, you are now the worst podcaster in metal ! .
With such searing insights such as “I like chocolate “ and ( when discussing Chelsea Wolfe) “She got into metal from listening to “The Crow” Soundtrack, you know, all those early Noughties bands “
The Crow soundtrack came out in ‘94.
These are just a few examples of her questionable knowledge/ research on a genre she makes a living writing about ( admittedly, her writing is better than her dodgy broadcastin... more
It's hard to find a good metal podcast that isn't a couple of abrasive American guys who make misogynistic jokes (not calling anyone in particular out here, it's just a recurring theme). This one's excellent, with enthusiastic, knowledgeable hosts. It's an excellent companion to the magazine, which I also love.
Haven’t listened in over a year but downloaded the last couple to see ( as I hoped ) if it got better. Back in the day, with Gill and Beez , this show was unmissable. Gill and Hill, then Hill, Merle and Amit were good too but this show has seriously gone down the pipe. El is a fine writer, but as a podcaster she is rotten. She’s not the worst ( that “Honour” goes to Ryan from That’s not Metal) but still pretty rank. Even Stephen Hill and Jon Seltzer can’t save this show. The audio is awful as ... more
A good listen with lots of laughs as well, keeps me entertained, an enjoyable podcast.
