Discography Discussion

What happens when a famed record producer decides to bring his own band to the masses? Will Putney’s Fit For An Autopsy is a blueprint that all deathcore needs to fall in line with. On this episode of Discography Discussion we talk about every album by Fit for An Autopsy, chew the meat, and spit out the bones. Is a band more consistent when one guy helms the ship, and has his own ideas about what...

They are one of the most promoted new metal bands on the internet today. Are they really everything we’ve been sold that they are? Well Dan, Joe, and Chris try to figure this out. We look at the band’s humble beginnings and follow them through their current level of fame and try to figure out what is so special about this band. #discussmetal #Jinjer Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patr...

It’s strange to hear people say things like “there just aren’t any decent bands anymore.” Yet, on Discography Discussion, we have a growing collection of bands who are definitely sure things. Chris Mccoy joins the podcast as co-host to discuss every album by The Ghost Inside, a band that just made a lot of great musical decisions, and created a sound that fans of solid hardcore/metalcore can get b...

Novembers Doom is a band who has unfairly been compared to Opeth throughout their career. On this episode of Discography Discussion, we sit down with beloved friend of the show Michael Yahne to get his take on this American doom/progressive metal band. Is the Opeth comparison fair? We don’t think so...most of the time. Enjoy. #discussmetal #NovembersDoom Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on...

Dan and Joe add another sure thing to the list on this episode of Discography Discussion. Onward To Olympas may be the definition of a hype band, but what they deliver is metalcore. If you’re a Facedown Records fan, or just looking for another band that plays solid metalcore, you cannot go wrong with this band. Check it out! #discussmetal #OnwardToOlympas Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion o...

We tell a lot of stories on Discography Discussion. For Sevendust, we felt that the story was too important to tell alone, so we called Scott Bowling (Good Company) and Morgan Rose (Sevendust) to help us wade through the history of this now classic band. Get ready for this one, as Morgan takes us back to the start of the band, and brings us to today. Also, Joe sets out to prove he is the ultimate...

What starts as a sure thing can quickly turn into exactly what you’re expecting. Dan and Joe take a look at It Prevails for the first time to decide if the band has their own identity, and can stand on their own feet. Is there enough memorable songs here to keep Dan coming back for more? Find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. #discussmetal #ItPrevails Join our Patreon: Discography Dis...

Shai Hulud is a name that is synonymous with hardcore and metalcore. This makes it very hard to be objective when discussing this all time great and pioneering band. Bryan Patton of As The Story Grows was kind enough to step in and help us stay objective. #discussmetal #ShaiHulud #AsTheStoryGrows Bryan Patton and As The Story Grows can be found at http://www.asthestorygrows.com && http://bit.ly/As...

When things take a turn for the weird, Matt Naas of the Roach Koach podcast stepped up to give us the push we needed to discuss the German powerhouse, Rammstein. Is Rammstein industrial? Are they metal? Are the scary? Are the offensive? We dive into all of that and more. Also the answer to all of the questions is yes. #discussmetal #Rammstein Matt Naas, Roach Koach, and all Gabber Media podcasts c...

Facedown records is a label most would associate with hardcore. That is what makes “Hope for the Dying” such an anomaly. They are a band that plays with hardcore bands every night, but is firmly rooted in progressive metal. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe attempt to make sense of each complicated slab of metal that Hope for the Dying throws down. Enjoy! #discussmetal #HopeFo...

All Hail the Lord of Worms! Cryptopsy is a beloved band for fans of technical death metal. What is it about Cryptopsy that makes them unique amongst the sea of other tech death bands? Was this band more influenced by their sometimes lead singer Lord Worm? Is the band any good without him? Find those answers and more on this episode of Discography Discussion. #discussmetal #Cryptopsy Join our Patre...

When you ask somebody about Diamond Head the first response is usually “isn’t that the band that influenced Metallica?” The short answer is yes. However, the question must be asked, “why isn’t Diamond Head bigger than they are considering the huge push they got from Metallica?” On this episode of Discography Discussion the answer becomes abundantly clear, and we hope you enjoy it! #discussmetal #D...

OMG its Oh, Sleeper! On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan and Joe dive into one of Dan’s favorite Solid State bands. Dan claims everything the band does is pure gold, while Joe airs his reservations. Did the band hide references to the original Doom games in their second album? What is it about Oh, Sleeper that makes them unique in a sea of imitators? Find out, and enjoy. #discussmetal #...

It’s hard work being an unpleasable metal fan. On one hand, we love it when a band sticks to their guns and has a consistent sound. But, it’s easy to get bored with a band who always does the same thing. After all, variety is the spice of life. On this episode of Discography Discussion, Dan, Joe, and Josh try to decide if The Black Dahlia Murder’s lack of variety is a good thing, or just more of t...

Some musicians never reach the level of success that their first big band achieved. When a musician attempts to start over fresh they can sometimes be bogged down by their previous reputation. On this episode of Discography Discussion, we ask is DevilDriver another one of those bands? Dan, Joe, and Josh don’t think so, and may even prefer DevilDriver over Coal Chamber. #discussmetal #DevilDriver J...

Did you know that makeup and carnivals are actually really scary? We are dreadfully aware of this fact, and in order to make sense of the Swedish metal band Avatar, we had to call Geoff out of retirement to explain it. Had Avatar always planned on being a band strong on image, and small on substance? Or did they actually start out as one of Sweden’s premier melodic death metal bands? Find out on t...
