We're going through the theme songs that the album art claims 'rock'. But do they all rock? Did the wrestlers look cool and tough walking out to these tunes? I actually have no idea but two people who love wrestling, Psychonaut and Josh are able to guide me through it. The history, the impressions, the context, the blading, the motorbike noises. This episode is for hardcore wrestling fans and total WWF noobs like me. Live, laugh, learn, suplex.

Finally an album by an artist that brings me absolute joy and isn't an aural onslaught. We're talking Far and in particular, their album from 1996 Tin Cans With Strings To You. This record was suggested by this week's guest, the moderator from r/numetal. When they agreed to be on the podcast, I figured they'd suggest Darwin's Waiting Room or 311 but I was legit shocked when they said Far - a band I have loved for ages with a singer, Jonah Mantranga who seems to epitomise the DIY spirit. But anyway, we do enough gushing on the episode.

Very lucky to be joined on this episode by comedian, Nick Capper to talk about Ministry's Filth Pig. An album written when Al Jourgensen when he had a $1,000 a day drug habit and recorded in a homemade studio in Texas full of stuff that was breaking down all the time. “ It was mean; it was ugly. It was music to kill yourself to because that’s what I was trying to do." A brutal album discussed on a soon to be award winning podcast with a great Australian comedian.

Name a better album for us to kick off season 3 with. Actually, don't. I've got things to do today. But you can think of them in your head - maybe think of an album where the drummer doesn't keep switching to halftime or end songs with a splash hit.
Regardless of what album we're talking about today, we hope you had a good break from us and are ready for some more insightful and witty podcasting from a soon to be Grammy award winning podcast.
Also, legally I am required to say that Gobshite Industries are not operating any shell companies and I strongly discourage anyone from looking into it any further. Thank you.
Mushroomhead are a rough listen and I am glad that misery loves company because I am joined by the legends that are Martin and Steve from the Is It Dad Rock Yet? podcast. I threw the proverbial padlock at their ears this week so we could talk about Mushroomhead's masks, water drums, tempos and their feud with Slipknot. Try and find a podcast on Mushroomhead that doesn't mention that Slipknot fight! Can't be done.
Welcome to the Bwomp Cinematic Universe.

The links between the early 2000's nu-metal scene and wrestling are well known but did you know that WWE had their own record label but only released one non-wrestling title released? Well, that band was Neurotica. Fronted by Athiest's, Kelly Shaefer the band are now pretty hard to find anything about. The only real way to hear them is by finding a CD on eBay or tracks on Youtube, but luckily I'm joined by Josh (Circle Breaker and Hellion Child) who is a wrestling lifer and loves Neurotica. It's his comfort band. An auditory warm blanket.
So listen on in as we talk all things wrestling, Neurotica, Smack Down Records and NHL.

DW Norton is on the podcast this week to talk all things Superheist, music industry, recording, supporting Eminem, playing Big Day Out and yes, we talk about Berger because so many people want Berger back in the band - none more so than DW! You'll also get a sneak peak at some brand new, unreleased Superheist material. An incredibly candid chat that I reckon you'll really enjoy.
Check out Superheist's new album, MMXX wherever you get your music.
Big shoutout to Hayden for requesting an episode on The Prize Recruit and thanks to Simon for helping to hook it up!
Music festivals. My experience with them has been well documented on this podcast. I'm super glad they are a thing but the idea of running one just seems like such a huge amount of work that it makes my head spin.
Luckily, I’m joined by AJ Maddah - a man who founded Soundwave Festival and Harvest Festival which saw bands like Deftones, Incubus, Sigur Ros, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Faith No More, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Linkin Park - just to name a tiny fraction.
What makes a festival good? What do you have to consider when booking a headliner? I mean, I don’t really have an answer so it is for the best that I just ask AJ.
Ever been sent a cease and desist letter by Slipknot's record label? Well, today's guest has. Dan from Dropbear Studios Masks is on the podcast today to talk about the replica mask world, creating his own masks, working with Diskust and buying Mushroomhead memorabilia. A really great chat with a great guy.

He's back and this time he has stories about touring with Marilyn Manson, supporting P.O.D, playing with Killing Joke and a whole heap of tales from the set of Queen of the Damned, including hanging out with Aaliyah.
We also go further into Jerk - the recording process of their album When Pure Is Defiled, playing those Channel V bus shows and how he ended up being the singer of the band.
Again, another awesome chat with Johnathan that is well worth your listening time.
A very brown cover for a brown sounding album. Talking Primus and their LP, Brown Album on this week's podcast with special guest Roxy who had the very difficult job of introducing me to the magical world of Les Claypool and band because I have never really listened to them before. I'm not a slap bass guy and I knew that Les is a creative force of nature so stepping into all the lore and cheese references felt overwhelming. Which album to start with? What do I need to know before listening?
A special thanks to Roxy for joining the podcast and sharing tales of what it is like to DJ Primus at a nightclub in Darwin and an even bigger shoutout to the Motorola G30 Power.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation might not have won an Academy Award, but it did give us an incredible soundtrack and sitting right on Track 5 was Pitchshifter with their song, Genius taken from their 1998 album, www.pitchshifter.com. This album is pure punk rock guitars over drum machines with glitched out politically charged vocals so it is easy to see why their were hometown heroes in Nottingham but what isn't as easy to see if why their parting with Earache caused so much drama. Earache founder, Digby Pearson said "what a colossal waste of space that band turned out to be" - man, falling out of love can be rough. They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference but can the same be said when you have royalties, touring duties, song writing and recordings involved?

I’m a high flying podcast deal maker who recently returned from a self-funded all expenses paid trip to the United Kingdom and we’re taking a break from dissecting Papa Roach lyrics to tell you about it. But it’s not all mile high-esque stories, at the end I’ll run through some listener mail, finally getting some insight on the nu-metal funeral held by Roadrunner Records AND there is a special super secret debut of a certain rap song for those who can endure til the end. Hodl.
Yeah, we're doing a pop punk album and yeah, I am on the record as hating pop punk. Always have, always will...or is this the album that can bring me to the dark side? But to make sure it isn't a full pile on on the pop punk genre, we've brought in our dear friend, Monster Truck Marty - a devout Green Day, Blink 182 and Sum 41 fan who is here to argue for the band and give this episode some much needed balance.
Oh, in the chaos that was this episode I forgot to mention how much I hate this album cover. It isn't Creed's, Weathered bad, or Coal Chamber's, Chamber Music bad - but it is pretty goddamn bad.

Do you think if Eminem didn’t bring D12 out, he would still have as much respect in the rap game as he has? Or does this add to his legacy? Do you think Bizarre's flow is terrible and is basically the hip hop equivalent of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Have you heard Proof's Searching for Jerry Garcia? Whatever your answers are to these questions, you should listen to this podcast. Then follow us on Instagram. Then sign up to our Patreon. Then buy all of our merchandise. Then drop in-jokes from the podcast at house parties to deafening silence. Then binge all of the old episode. Then base your personality around the podcast. Then move to our commune and discover a true spiritual awakening.
In a desperate effort to pay off our CD writer, we have released another episode with a big sponsor, so please support them.
Also, I know at the start I say this is episode 78 but we shuffled some things around to get the Johnathan Devoy episode out because it was so good and the world needed to hear his Disturbed story as soon as possible.
Easily one of the best interviews, I've ever done, I know you're going to enjoy this episode with Jerk singer, Johnathan Devoy as we discuss touring with Insane Clown Posse and Disturbed, why he hates the single 'I Hate People Like That', what Johnny Rotten thinks of the band and of course, being the drummer in Queen of the Damned and how itchy eyebrow stubble can be.
Honestly, this episode is so much fun. Johnathan brought the A grade stories and a real candidness to the podcast.
I first saw Wollongong metal band, Segression all the way back in February, 2000 supporting an up and coming band out of Iowa called, Slipknot. I enjoyed their set, went and bought the album at Sanity and then started a soon to be award winning podcast that would eventually put me in touch with Chris Rand, the bassist and singer from Segression. Some people have said that Segression only started playing metal to have a member appear on Bacio Death Trip and whilst Chris and I don't get into that, we do talk about the ways in which Slipknot used to go about hiding their identities, performing karaoke with Zakk Wylde, singing Bleed with Soulfly at a Big Day Out, pre-workout (of course) and we do get into Smile - their third album which was released by Roadrunner Records (or was it?) back in 2000.
A must listen for any old school Australian metal fans!

Sepultura. If it is good enough for Bjork, it’s good enough for you. What an amazing album. But is it the blueprint for nu-metal albums or is it an album full of free jams, tribe sounds and Ross Robinson energised endings?
We’ll take you through the recording of this album, the break up, the sneaky recording of their last show and gush over the world’s local metal man, Max Cavalera.

The days of Slipknot playing small, intimate venues are well over. Thankfully, Australian Slipknot Tribute, Surfacing are bringing it to stages way too small for them and playing songs all through Slipknot's catalogue. Adam, the singer of Surfacing is on this week's pod to tell us about the cutthroat world of the Slipknot replica mask trade, lugging kegs and also his thoughts on Slipknot's newest single, The Dying Song (Time to Sing) which I stupidly call Time To Die because I'm nothing if not a consummate professional.

You might think you haven’t heard The Mad Capsule Markets before, but if you played Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 then you have. Not me though. I dropped out after THPS2 so Mad Caps were new to me. I don’t even think I had seen their name written anywhere. Luckily, Psychonaut has been a fan for two decades now so he’ll guide us through the album.
They played Ozzfest, Download Fest, Fuji Rock, supported RATM and Fear Factory and those who love them absolutely love them so they are worth checking out.
If you’ve ever had Psycho Mantis creep up into your memory card or lost your mind to the Mortal Kombat theme, this is the episode for you.
So pop in and hear us talk about Japan’s very own, The Mad Capsule Markets.
