Nu-Breed Podcast

This week we discuss a trend that while it existed for a while, numetal was one that brought it storming into the mainstream...and that is one of visual theatricality. Think masks, face paint, uniforms, the dedication to aesthetic that bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Mushroomhead used to differentiate themselves. We go into the history of using this type of theater in music (shoutout to Screami...

This week we deep dive into probably the most divisive album of In Flames' catalog, Reroute to Remain.

Trying something a bit different....instead of deep-diving into a band's back catalog, or a trend, we're doing to dive into a YEAR.

The impetus for this episode was simple: Tim went to the Poison the Well reunion show, so we use that as a jumping-off point to talk about their masterful first two albums (don't @ us about Distance...), The Opposite of December and Tear From the Red.
