Discography Discussion

To this day, Emmure remains one of the most popular heavy bands in the industry.  This week on Discography Discussion we try to figure out why.  Get ready for some hot takes, mixed opinions on Emmure, and why we think the band has remained successful to this day.  Joe thinks it all sounds the same, Dan thinks it's too all over the place, and Jon thinks it’s just right.  What do you think? Enjoy! #...

Well this one came out of left field!  Dan sits down with not one, not two, but four members of Travail this week.  We talk about the history of the band, how they formed, their first demos, how they rose to being nominated for a Dove Award, and what caused the band to eventually part ways.  There is no other in depth interview with this band with this many details.  This is not one you want to mi...

This week we decided to revisit one of Dan’s favorite bands of all time, Death!  In order to do this right, we needed an expert in all things metal!  Cristian Machado, formally if Ill Niño, joins us to go album by album, and explain very carefully why Death was and continues to be an influential band to the metal community at large. #discussmetal #CristianMachado #Death Cristian Machado can be fou...

We decided to crack open the black metal coconut by digging into some Crimson Moonlight.  Crimson Moonlight is one of the best black metal bands that you’ve probably never heard because of their religious affiliations.  Don't let this dissuade you, and in this episode we are going to explain exactly why. Check it out! #discussmetal #CrimsonMoonlight Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patr...

This week we head over to Sweden to talk about some classic Entombed records, and, you know, those other Entombed records...  Entombed helped pave the way for so many Swedish death metal bands in the 90s.  Did they lose their touch along the way?  Bring out the buzzsaws, and let’s find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. #discussmetal #Entombed Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion o...

It’s no secret that we love Living Sacrifice here at Discography Discussion.  In the spirit of finding a reason to constantly bring up this band we decided to revisit them with a fresh set of ears.  Jon Beatty joins the podcast while delivering his own brand of hot takes.  This episode was recorded live on our twitch channel, and there will be more to come.  Strap in, make some popcorn, and get re...

This week decided to shake things up a bit and go full on mainstream rock with Skillet!  Despite being known as a mostly radio friendly band, Skillet has one of the most interesting musical journeys this side of Living Sacrifice.  We start off with their grunge rock tribute debut album and move through the awkward electronic infused teen years, and all the way up to their mainstream hard rock stat...

We thought we’d start off 2021 with a celebration! So, we decided to listen to Alestorm all week.  Join us as we get our pirate on and talk about whether a gimmick can really carry a band or not.  Joe believes all pirates all the time is a good thing.  Dan isn’t so sure.  So load up the cannons and your tankard of ale and get ready for our voyage into the stormy waters of Alestorm! #discussmetal #...

Discography Discussion brings Industrial December 2020 to a close with God Lives Underwater.  Despite a limited body of work, they stand out with some of the best industrial rock records you will ever hear.  While the band does not end on a high note, and has some tragedy along the way, you will not be disappointed, and may find some welcome nostalgia with this one.  Thank you for listening.  Enjo...

Matt Naas of the Roach Koach podcast joins Dan and Joe for episode 200 of Discography Discussion!  To celebrate this momentous occasion, we have selected a band with one of the largest discographies we could ever imagine, and definitely the largest discography we have covered on this show to date. KMFDM has 21 studio albums, and we talk about every…...single……...one of them.  Thank you so much to...

Orgy is one of the most important industrial rock bands of the past 20 years.  On this episode of Discography Discussion we take a deep dive into the sci-fi world of Orgy to figure out if these guys are rock, metal, nu-metal, industrial, or new wave. Dan thinks they are “nu-wave.” What do you think? #discussmetal #Orgy #IndustrialDecember Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http:...

John Amos of Attalus joins us this week to talk about the band’s Vinyl release, history of the band, how they hooked up with Facedown records and what ultimately ended up happening with the band.  Not a conversation to miss! #discussmetal Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography Discussion Podcast Homepage - http://bit.ly/DiscographyDiscus...

Godflesh is one of the heaviest bands you’ll ever hear.  As one of the bands largely credited with inventing industrial metal, it is interesting to hear how unique this band can actually be.  How does atmosphere affect the way a record “feels?”  Despite multiple attempts to go into a more commercial direction why did Godlfesh just stay heavy?  Dan and Joe attempt to answer these questions and more...

Horse the Band is insane.  Do you think you have the mental fortitude to pick apart all of the randomness and insanity packed into each song?  Dan and Joe do their best on this episode to try and decipher the cosmic code of Horse the band.  Will you join us? #discussmetal #HorseTheBand Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography Discussion Po...

This week it’s a battle of the crazy!  Which band is more unhinged?  Into the ring steps Training for Utopia, one of the spazziest bands to come out of the Tooth and Nail and Solid State scene in the early 2000’s.  Tantrum of the Muse is the passion project of a total madman who’s musical twists and turns cannot be predicted or measured.  Which band is more insane?  We will give you our opinions a...

Alaska’s 36 Crazyfists has been in the game for over 20 years and has consistently delivered their own personal brand of melodic heavy music.  Dan and Joe sift through each album from the band’s nu-metal beginnings all the way up to their modern metalcore staples.  Is the band able to pull off what the fans want every time?  Does this band just get heavier?  Find out the answer to these questions...

Do you folks like Vikings?  Hopefully you do because this week we grabbed our swords and axes in order to get in the mindset to truly enjoy Amon Amarth.  Buddy “Doomhammer” Reno joins Dan and Joe to uncover the mystery of one of the most consistent bands we’ve ever discussed on the show.  Is Viking Metal just Melodic Death Metal?  Can genres be determined by their lyrical content alone?  You can d...

If you think Powerman 5000 only had a couple of good songs you may be mistaken.  It's not too often to see a band experience as much musical diversity as Powerman 5000.  Is every avenue they take good?  That is for you to ultimately decide but Dan and Joe will do their best to influence your decision. #discussmetal #Powerman5000 Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/d...

It’s time for everybody to shoegaze into outer space! Bryan Patton of As The Story Grows joins Dan and Joe for an in-depth conversation about Rosetta.  This band starts off big, and continues to be big.  Despite having label backing at the start of their career, and transitioning into an independent band, they continue to create soundscapes that challenge the listener to do their job, and listen t...
