Shit Talk Reviews

Since we're nearing the end of the year we're starting up the tanks and troop carriers and rolling into battle! What could these three buffoons have to fight about? Why, the best album of the year, of course. The (and we use this term lightly) brain trust are each taking turns with their top 10 albums of the year with David J taking the lead. He snatched up his grandma's purple read...

 The Shit Talk guys had a great conversation with the talented Igor Amadeus Cavalera. Igor is a talented guitar and bass player, vocalist, songwriter author, outdoor enthusiast and all-around socially conscious fella. Growing up in a hugely musical family, Igor was predisposed to the industry at an early age and latched right on. He’s a great cat and the guys had a great time getting to know what...

Ministry dropped their new single Just Stop Oil last night, so the guys had to talk about it, because, well, MINISTRY!! If you’re a Ministry fan, there’s not much to say because just about all Ministry is good Ministry. If you’re not familiar with the band, then settle in for a few minutes with the STR jackasses and get their thoughts.   The giveaways are starting to stack up over at https://www.s...

The fellas sit down for a chat with guitarist and song writer Dan Lorenzo. Some of Dan's numerous projects include Hades, Non Fiction, Cassius King, Vessel Of Light and most recently the powerhouse collaborative Patriarchs In Black. The New Jersey native talks all things music, his personal history, his thoughts on singles versus albums and a slew of other topics.  Swing by https://www.shitta...

 It’s all about 3TEETH as the Halloweenies talk ENDEX, the lastest offering from the L.A. based industrial metal band. Have a watch or a listen as the guys get into it and discuss not only the album, but breeze by a few classic horror flicks, David’s wardrobe, Derek’s pythons and John’s Mick Gordon fandom.    Hit up https://lsems.gravityzone.bitdefender.com/scan/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2hpdHRhbGtyZXZpZXd...

The STR crew had the great pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Trevor Phipps, the incredibly thoughtful vocalist from the powerhouse metalcore band UNEARTH.

Do you dig progressive metal, loaded with top-rate compositions, killer performances and amazing production? Of course you do. Fall into your favorite chair and hang with the Sh!t Talk yahoos as they get into War Of Being, the latest album from Tesseract. We also learn that David is a part time Ninja Turtle, Derek has to fight for any opportunity to speak and that John can hardly contain his fanat...

Judas Priest dropped a new single on us, so the feeble Sh!t Talk Reviews brain trust sat down for a podcast quickie to review it! They also circled around a few upcoming interviews and mused about 80s movies and what masks they should wear. Next time you're out on the highway of interwebs, get off at exit 174 and drop by https://www.shittalkreviews.com for a slew of music reviews, podcasts, i...

  RAMBLE WARNING! This time around, the morons (under the guise of having been busy,) aren’t talking about an album. After some time on the road the Sh!t Talk chuckleheads ramble on (ad nauseum) about their trip to New England, the astonishing Boston tour guide that is Keith Bennett and a killer show at The Paradise Rock Club (Death Ray Vision, Incite, Exhumed and Cavalera Conspiracy.) A great sho...

This week the buffoons sat down to talk about Everywhere, Everything, the latest album from Polar. Some tough questions were raised during this convo: Will Dave get naked and spoon with Derek? Will Derek make a deposit in David's tailpipe? Will John run screaming from all of it?  Don't forget, the morons have a website now. They think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. (Let...

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of arguably one of the greatest albums of all time: Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. The Sh!t Talk idiots just had to take a minute (or 34) to talk about this incredible piece of music. Not that there are too many folks who've been alive for more than 15 minutes who haven't heard it, but it's such an amazing album that they wanted to give it e...

 Do you like the death metal? Are you down with horror-styled, crushing, heavy music? Then settle in with the guys as they talk about the Celestial Sanctuary's latest album Insatiable Thirst For Torment. They get into all aspects of the record and also conquer some heavy-hitting topics: Will Derek make it home before he loses his innards? Will David's love for Wolfie preclude him ever li...

The Sh!t Talk team had the pleasure of virtually sitting down with the brainchild of OneFromTheNorth: the one and only McKeenan. The guys pick his brain about living in the land of the Midnight Sun, bringing contrasting musical genres together and which NFL team has the most "metal" team logo.  Be sure to swing by the STR website at https://www.shittalkreviews.com for additional OneFromT...

It's all about Filter this week as the guys talk about The Algorithm. Richard Patrick is back at it with a new record and because it's Filter, they just had to talk about it.  Tune in to see if David did any research on this album, if Derek yearns for his college days in the back of an F-150 and if John can keep his extremities attached to his torso. (Hint - He cannot.) Be sure to swing...

The guys were psyched to get to have a chat with bassist and singer Joe Nally, the frontman for the UK trio URNE. Joe dropped right into the Shit Talk dynamic and immediately started taking shots at the guys. IT WAS GLORIOUS. Joe talks family, passion, heartbreak and his musical history as they talk all things A Feast On Sorrow. Be sure to drop by www.shittalkreviews.com for all things STR; writte...

It's an Atreyu kind of day as the Sh!t Talk Reviews morons get into The Moment You Find Your Flame. Has David entered orbit? Did John lose all technical acumen? Has Derek taken the crown as the most responsible guy in the room? Clearly, the apocalypse is upon us. Check out the STR website at www.shittalkreviews.com and drop a note in the mailbox by clicking the microphone and scroll through t...

It's all about A Feast On Sorrow on this episode. Join the fellas as they take a walk and talk through this passionate new album offered up by UK trio Urne. We also learn this time around that David J is irritating, Derek is irritable and John is addicted to the pink.  Check the video version on YouTube at @ShtTalkReviews or check out the STR website at www.shittalkreviews.com for this review...

This week the Sh!t Talk Reviews idiots go super heavy with a conversation about Ashen, the latest release from Humanity's Last Breath. It's a seriously heavy album and for the STR guys, it led some realizations: David J's personal fan count is by far the highest, Derek's Boston is better than anyone else's Boston, and John is a crazy secretive Celine Dion fan. Sh!t Talk Re...

This week we sit down to dine and wind up  chowing down on some spicy meatballs! We get into the sophomore release from Mammoth WVH: II. The heat rises in the STR studios during this convo and there are moments when it looks like we’ll all be going home without dessert. But do we? You’ll have to tune in to find out!  In addition to talking Wolfie, we learn all about David J’s love for both rock da...

This time around we're getting into not one, but two albums from Cavalera Conspiracy; Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions. Max, Iggor and crew have re-recorded both of these albums that were first given to the world back in 1985 and 1986, respectively, and we've been waiting to dig in.  In other news, David gets a phone call, Derek yearns for the days of cassette tapes from the Dartmo...

We were stoked to sit down for a conversation with Boston singer and bass player Keith Bennett. A true veteran in the Boston scene, Keith has been crushing it with bands like Wrecking Crew, PanzerBastard, Casket Rats and now Death Ray Vision. We talk the Boston scene history, the passion of music fans and why Goth clubs are some of the greatest places on the planet.  Any hockey fans in the house?...

This week the topic at hand is the latest release from Spirit Adrift: Ghost At The Gallows.  Surely you're asking yourself what went down in the STR studio, and we're here to satiate your need for the hottest info. We dive headfirst into Nate Garrett's killer album, suffer through David's general frustration and anger, get reminded that of all things that Derek is 100% not an i...

We had the great pleasure of sitting down with phenomenal bassist, producer, socialite, great father and all-around nice guy Eric J. Morgan for some rambling conversations. We chat about his musical history from his work with First Order up through A Pale Horse Named Death and Patriarchs In Black. We also touch on the intricacies of cultivating a healthy garden, the benefits of social media and ph...

Once again we find ourselves in different parts of the country this week as we talk about the new Currents album The Death We Seek. We chat about climbing out of a tough week as David lets his private "bead" collection out into the wild, Derek fishes for more sponsorship dollars and John tries desperately to just keep it together. Check out our Instagram profile and join us for more nons...
