Thunderdome Metal Reviews: The Church of Heavy Metal

Metalheads!! David's pick for an album released in July is the seventh studio album by melodic death metal legends, At the Gates. An album rooted in cosmic pessimism and driving guitar. 

Metalheads!! With the Apokalyptischen Reiter's we ride on their 11th studio album The Divine Horseman. This is a German band your hero's had never heard of and reactions were mixed. 

Metalheads!!! Gabe joins us once again to discuss whether you are ready or not for the nu-metal ignition. 

Metalheads!! In this episode, Buck & Gabe return to discuss an album that David has been clamoring for, Powerslave. Have you heard of it?

Metalheads!! Season Three starts here!! We are joined by Buck & Gabe to discuss the third studio album by Black Sabbath and discuss grading trends from the last year. 

Metalheads!! It is the last blast of our second year, and we take a listen to the work of the late great Wayne Static with a spin of Static-X's work. Join us on Wisconsin Death Trip (1999) , Machine (2001) , Shadow Zone (2003) , & Start a War (2005). Also, Season 3 starts on 8/17/2021 with a new outlet for your Church of Heavy Metal.

Metalheads!! Tracey takes us into the Abyss with Canadian power metallers, Unleash the Archers!

Metalheads!! David brings the Polish Pain by selecting Vader's 2020 offering for us to spin!

Metalheads!! Ben takes us to his spiritual homeland of New Orleans to look at the mid-nineties debut of the souther sludgemetal supergroup Down. 

Metalheads!! August is upon us, and it is time to take another long walk through a band's discography. We head out to Iowa to walk through the corn with Slipknot!!

Metalheads!! What happens when a trio of tech-death luminaries get together to make a prog album? Well, one thing is for sure, Tracey is going to find it and we are going to listen to it. So, we give to you the debut album by Interloper!

Metalheads!! Tracey brings the prog-pain with a blast of prog-metalcore from the mind of Misha Mansoor, Periphery! We spin Periphery (2010),  Periphery II: This Time It's Personal (2012), Periphery III: Select Difficulty (2016), and Periphery IV: Hail Stan (2019).

Metalheads!!! The long-awaited, much anticipated, feared lost in production hell tenth studio album from Fear Factory dropped in June of this year, and you know we had to give it a listen. 

Metalheads!! Pack your bowl and sharpen your katana because there is a new Red Fang album and we are giving it a spin!!

Metalheads!! The stars align and we dive back into some heavy sci-fi-influenced death metal. Will our heroes survive the Planetary Convergence ?

Metalheads!! Ben, David, & Tracey were joined by a domestic man of mystery, on a journey into Alabama for the Fourth of July. On the way, they of course listened to metal, thus our second grab bag of reviews was born! In this episode, we discuss Rage Against the Machine, Evil Empire (1996), Corrosion of Conformity, Wiseblood (1996), Pallbearer, Forgotten Days (2020), and Cirith Ungol, King of...

Metalheads!! We go to the early oughts and review a metalcore album that we don't know how came to our attention. 

Metalheads!! Part bionic, and organic but not a cyborg we are Thunderdome Metal Reviews and we are here to review this early 90s classic. 

Metalheads!! It is time for a debut album that combines thrash, power, with just a dash of death. Paladin's Ascension. It isn't often that we get debut albums in the Church, at least not this close to their release. Check it out!

Metalheads!! We spin the ninth and potentially the last album by Californian death metallers Deeds of Flesh, 2020's Nucleus. This one comes in on the corners of technical and brutal death metal and was a surprise to at least Ben and Tracey. 

Metalheads!!! It is the Fourth of July here in America, and while our countrymen celebrate by blowing shit up, we decided to end our trip through Rammstein's discography by reviewing the untitled release from 2019. Ironically, the bands song about their home country seems fitting for the day. 

Metalheads!! We head into Fourth of July Weekend with more anger from the LA! We review the second full-length from My Ruin, A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish. An extra helping of Catholic inflected metal from the Church. 

Metalheads! We've got Tracey's pick for an album released in May the third album by Denmark Prog outfit Vola! Does Ben actually like this one???

Metalheads!! For his pick for an album released in May, David pulled out the big guns. Denmark thrash legends Artillery's tenth studio album X.
