Always on the cutting edge of metal - we dig into Slipknot's Iowa record. The duties of being Seattle's grindcore scene report are never worn lightly.

The second pod, coming only 4 months after the first. We know how to do cliff hangers. Anyway we're back after a long absence and we promise to never leave you again.

Loudwire (or possibly the readers of Loudwire) had the audacity to rank some bands in an order. This simply will not stand. We talked for way too long about this so we split it across pods. It's a multipodder.

We see what happens if we each give ourselves just two hours to write and record a song. Songs are included. Strap in.

We finally get around to the big burning rock issues - was the cover mounted CD on the magazine Metal CD (issue 2) any good? We also talk about video games because our remit expands beyond our expertise

Bursting straight out of the gate with a load of scattershot nonsense, we attempt to account for how we wasted our time during the on-going stay at home order by watching TV. We also cover all the events that took place in the years between the last podcast and this one.

It's a trailer you guys! 5150 is coming back.

Dodgy sound recording. This was recorded so long ago that we actually had nice weather. We talk about floods and boats, we don't let our lack of knowledge stand in the way of our opinions. Then boy bands and chip tunes. God, do we ever shut up? The we get into music Festaroos! Terrible festivals we've either been to or spent time imagining and then disapproving.

Kamen is back - this time : Robin Hood. Then we cover the top ten metal cliches (based on an article in Invisible Oranges).

We take on all the topics we've missed over the last few weeks from the alt-right to Dukes of Hazzard (same thing. boom. shots fired Dukes of Hazzard). Then we get all up on some food for our new segment Foodie One Foodie.

We defend Kim Kardashian against some dumb critizism she received months ago. Don't call us heroes. Then - we take what you hold dear and smash it against the rocks. It's like we don't even give a fuck.

Accio Podcast! Stephen trys to sell Paul on the joys of H-Pot. Also - we cover Baby Driver, The Mutoid Man show at Neumos and as ever GBBO.

Game of Throooones! Paul attempts to convice Stephen that the olden-tyme HBO hit is awesome and should be watched all the time. Also - spam mail gets the fuck mocked out of it and we talk about Top Gun rather than the Bake Off.

Rolling Stone put togther whay they think is the top 100 metal albums. Let's see if their views overlap exactly with ours. Then we talk batter.

We pull out another soundtrack record from 1993 and make jokes about it. We also speak of the horror that is Gene Simmons and discuss Bread week on the Great British Bake Off. "Seattle's Grindcore Scene Report"

We put the first seven Metallica and Megadeth albums head to head. Then talk about it. For ages. Really staying on point this time. Then we get into the Bake Off (we warned you)

We talk about life's disapointments and set up our high expectations for the next series of the Bake Off. Foreshadowing?

We deliver a counter-blast to "Metal is the Fucking Worst", then get into whether Black Metal is the funniest genre of music. Is it? Is it?

We have a couple of drinks, fail to decide what can be called a "fruit" and get into one of 1993's most blown opportunities The Last Action Hero soundtrack. Also videogames.

We say goodbye to Chris Cornell then get into the murky and sometimes rewarding world of sequels. Also jokes. So many jokes.
