Discography Discussion

Before we all had to keep our distance, Dan, Joe, and Mike sat down to watch Crush The Skull.  This crowd-funded film has enough dark humor, and self-aware horror tropes to make you laugh the whole way through, or make you angry because none of it hits home.  No matter how painful it was for Mike, he stayed the course, while Dan and Joe found the humor, and can’t wait for more.  This one may not b...

This week, Geoff finally gets his way as we dive head first into the world of Katatonia.  Was the band ever death/doom metal to begin with?  How hard is it to keep a fanbase while changing styles at the drop of a hat?  We will explore all of that and more on this episode of Discography Discussion.

Despite being a "newer" band by Discography Discussion standards, Code Orange has a very diverse musical arc.  In the span of four albums these Code Orange Kids have made their mark on noisy punk, hardcore, metalcore, and dare we say nu metal?  We will let you judge that last part as you make this journey with us.  We promise the journey will at least entertain you. #discussmetal #CodeOrange Join...

Hatebreed is one of the few bands in the heavy music scene who is equally accepted as a hardcore and metal band without anyone throwing out the dirty word metalcore.  Can a band having a bare bones approach make them just another hardcore band?  Or is there just something special about Hatebreed?  Find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. #discussmetal #Hatebreed Join our Patreon: Discog...

Tool is a band who stretched their creative muscle in a time where heavy rock was becoming stale.  As they progressed the fascination with this mysterious band grew to a fever pitch in the mid to late 90’s.  Is Tool the progressive band everyone thinks they are?  Absolutely.  Are you a smarter person because you like Tool?  Not necessarily.  Enjoy. #discussmetal #Tool Join our Patreon: Discography...

Buddy "Doomhammer" Reno joins the podcast this week to discuss the mighty Chimaira.  Chimaira was a band who had an uncompromised vision of heavy music and maintained it when their peers were cashing in on mainstream success.  Would they have benefited from more musical experimentation?  Not all of our hosts agree on this.  Who do you agree with? #discussmetal #Chimaira Join our Patreon: Discograp...
