24/07/2020

Sorry for the delay! Had a bit of a week this week!

Our episode that dropped on Tuesday, was our 21st episode! In honor of that (and the fact that we love music and alcohol equally), today we're talking about our favorite alcoholic beverages! From bourbon to beer, from mead to malt liquor, there's something in here for everyone! Also, we have included some of our favorite drinking songs as well as a drinking game in this episode! Hopefully you find some new music you like and some that you forgot you love! So remember to pour a stout out and kick it with us for a while!

E17 - Today we get into Part 4 of our series on Traditional Heavy Metal! We explore some bands that fall outside of that bucket, but still have major characteristics that you can trace back to Traditional Heavy Metal. Then we wrap things up by exploring what we think about the genre overall, if that has changed any, and what we see as the future of Traditional Heavy Metal! So pick up some ice cold beer or your favorite mixed drink and see if you can spot the influence in these bands!

E16 - After discussing "terms and definitions" in Part 1, and Jon's picks for Traditional Heavy Metal in Part 2, today in Part 3, Wil has been sent out into the world and asked to discover some bands of his own. Remember that part about the "Super-Mega-Double-Bonus Points" if Wil finds something neither party has heard? Well tune in to see if he found any! You'll definitely hear some classics, as well as some brand new music you can sink your slightly discolored molars into. So relax, chug a beer, and listen up!

E14 - All June we talked about Traditional Heavy Metal! This episode is what we like to call "Terms and Definitions." We talk about what exactly we mean when we say "Traditional Heavy Metal" - some major components of the sound, the lyrics, the art, and the attitude of the bands that we put in this category. Especially for this episode, grab your favorite beer (or 8 and listen up!)
