Morgoth was a hungry band who wanted to be as heavy and brutal as they come in the early 90’s death metal scene.  But, they didn't do that for some reason.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Geoff dive into a band who strove to redefine what they were about to a mixed reception, and we try to figure out whether experimentation works for every band. Check it out.  #discussmeta...

Geoff picks a great week to rejoin the podcast as we dig into the albums of Nevermore.  Nevermore is hard to describe, and impossible to pigeon hole.  All that matters is that this iconic band played some serious heavy metal in the 90s and 2000s and continues to influence new bands to this day.  If you have not listened to this band on the regular, you are missing out, and so were we before this e...

Most of the time a super group is not the sum of its different parts.  Is it possible that Bloodbath is an exception to this rule?  Swedish death metal supergroup Bloodbath has seemingly carved out a unique sound despite all being members of very different sounding bands.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan and Joe try to decide if Bloodbath is a gimmick or if they are the real deal. En...

It's been a long time since we covered a “sure thing” band.  Winds of Plague might just be that.  Winds of Plague was one of the first deathcore bands to help propel the style into popularity in the 2000s.  Does every band have to reinvent the wheel, or can a band be content with doing what they do better on each release?

Innovation is a word that gets thrown around a lot on this show.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Jon try to put every release by Eighteen Visions into the proper context to figure out if they were just another metalcore band in the 2000’s or if they pioneered and paved the way for all the bands to follow. #discussmetal #eighteenvisions Join our Patreon: Discography Discuss...
