That Pungent Stench album is killer!!! I also had that and my friends were like, why do you have that? lmao! Alan, did you shop at Eide's in Pittsburgh? thats where we used to go from Ohio.

I was 21 from the end of 93 til the end of 94. I actually had a ton of different shit spinning at the time. Malevolent Creation, NOFX, Life Of Agony, Fear Factory, Cynic, Death, Screeching Weasel, Nine Inch Nails and my friends were bringing in Pearl Jam vs., Nitzer Ebb, Tool (was new), Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr. and then new Carcass so a slew of amazing bands and music!

Well I turned 21 in 2000 so probably biggest album for me that year was maiden's Brave New World I think I began to dip my toes in death metal with cannibal corpse's Live Cannibalism but it would be a couple more years before I truly got into that style certainly didn't get bit by the nu metal bug that was happening at the time! Great show as always fellas!

Another great stream. I know everybody hates Massive Killing Capacity, but I enjoy that record and think it gets more hate than it deserves. Cheers!

Gotta agree with some of the sentiment here… this band just feels so low effort. They probably have a very solid album worth of material scattered across way too many releases

Awesome topic, especially in seeing the differences in people's lists due to age. Hearing 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day (my favorite band) in '09 was what got me into caring about checking out music but it wasn't until the pandemic that I got really into metal. Therefore, when I turned 21 in 2018 I was listening to a lot of music but it was mostly non metal. Here's what I was listening to when I turned 21 from what I can best remember. 1. Green Day's entire discography, especially their most recent album at the time Revolution Radio 2. Weezer - Everything Will Be Alright in the End 3. Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero 4. Soundgarden - King Animal 5. Rise Against - Wolves 6. Panic! At the Disco - Death of a Bachelor 7. Paramore - Self-titled & After Laughter 8. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream & Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness

Sorry I missed the show! I was 21 in 1991 and of course the drinking age in the UK is 18 so I had 3 years of alcoholism at that point! Great show!😂

I never got into this band, start with the first I assume?

Favorite to least that nobody will agree with probably: The Gathering Souls Of Black Low The Legacy The New Order Brotherhood Dark Roots Formation Titans Practice The Ritual Demonic

Was not able to make this one, but will definitely watch it. Alan, thank you and Marty for your generosity and dedication to the community. -Andrew

Dropkick Murphy's are probably the only contemporary music I was listening to when I turned 21. Well, now that I think of it, I was likely listening to Cradle of Filth still. Usually I would've been listening to reliable classics: Maiden, Motorhead, Ramones.

I have a story about Misfits merch from Walmart. One time a coworker of mine started wearing this Crimson Ghost shirt that had the American flag pattern within it. I let him wear it a few times before I asked struck up a conversation about it. I knew he didn’t know what he had on, because whenever he spoke about music with me, he was always going on about Skynard, Golden Earring, Molly Hatchet and such. So finally, he’s got this shirt on and I go, I didn’t know you liked Misfits. “What’s that? Oh a band? I got this at Walmart. A punk band? No I don’t really listen to punk, I’ve never heard of them.” I strung him along, told him their from the late 70s and he probably has heard one of their songs and didn’t know it. He asked me to sing one of their popular songs and I go I got something to say, I killed your baby today…. He never wore the shirt again.

Back then I was at the tail end of tape trading, this was around 1999. Still discovering so much music. Also my band GRIMMOON had just formed in the 1998. Was heavily into Katatonia and Incantation.

Great show. 🤘🤘

It's actually cool that Limbonic Art mach 1 got more brutal and heavy with time. This album is killer.

21 in ‘98 punk and garage rock had taken over. Still cranking the classic metal albums for sure. Took a couple years to get bit by the metal bug again.

Sinister is a badass DM band! Always felt that they were underrated like Marty said with the likes of Grave etc...

Scald rules! Current lineup also has Felipe from Procession/Capilla Ardiente. No singer will ever be able to replace Agyl but Felipe is a damn good choice I think. Very excited for the new one

Being the same age group as Marty, our experiences were always similar. I bought this on tape at Camelot music and threw it straight in the deck. When Judas Reward started, it blew me a fucking way! It's still my favorite Thrash song/record of all time.

Morpheus said in an interview that they considered the drum machine part of their sound, so they will never get rid of it or try to hide what it is. I liked this album, the one real Norwegian Black Metal album that have come out in a long time.

That scald record is a good (borderline very good) viking metal record for the time and place it came from. However the more you listen to it, the more it sounds like a poor man version of a son made by Viking era Bathory and Doomsword

Great review Marty, I will definitely check this out. I am a huge fan of the first 4, but then they fall of my radar

KILLER REVIEW MUCHOS GRACIAS 🤘🏾👿

Nice review! I like early LA but as they dialed back those cosmic-symphonic elements, I think they lost what they excelled at and made them unique. Later stuff was ok but could sound like 'just another BM album'. Similar to what happened to AETERNUS when they became a more generic DM band

Nice. I need to hear this.🤘

I'm with you Marty, after my first listen it only felt as though I had my face blasted for an hour, but the melodies sneak upon ya!!

gonna check this one out, it sounds interesting :) thank you

🤘🤘🤘!!!

I’ve never checked out Limbonic Art for whatever reason. Maybe this is my jumping off point. Good review man.

Your reviews have always been so descriptive🤘🏼I have a hard time describing what I like and don’t like when it comes to music. Will check this album out for sure, cheers!

I've bought the cd last week but this one is weird, these electronic drums are not quite there. Probably needs more spins...

Great review Myke! Bought this after watching the review. Been obsessed with the album ever since.

I must also note that their set lists have not been that inspiring, they seem to play the same old set list for the last few years, I will never know why they cont to play Long Time Dying every single fucking tour lol.

Great show guys. Years is my number one and was my introduction to the band, bought it on cassette back in the day, those 90s album was rough but they survived it, had the pleasure to finally see them Live in 2022 for the first time. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

A heavy metallurgy deep dive always makes the weekend that much better really enjoyed this one I have about half the catalogue including quite of few of those recent ones on nuclear blast will keep filling the holes in the collection for sure!

EPIC DOOM!! 🖤

1.Horrorscope 2. Taking over 3 Feel the fire 4 Under the Influence 5 Years of decay the rest whatever

My Favorite Overkill Album Is Horrorscope. I Also Love I Hear Black, The Years Decay And The UnderGround And Below. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I know everyone rides the jock of Years of Decay, but Horrorscope is one of the best thrash albums ever. It’s all killer, no filler.

" I Hear Black" immediately went straight to number one after hearing Alan´s rant, hahaha... Great show guys, thank you!

in 2:48:59 you talked about Edge of Sanity using a sample of that clip from Prince of Darkness and being a big EoS fan myself, I can't figure out on what album or what song they used it. It's been bugging me for like a week at this point but I still don't know, perhaps you confused it with some other band? Or I don't know man, I wish you could help me if you know which song or album exactly cause I can't stop thinking about it since it's also such a terrifying scene.

Always wondered why they keep dismissing the track “The Answer, never putting it on an album or compilation or playing it live. It’s got a different vibe and pretty long, but it still deserves to be heard by the fans. Unless you can get that cd version of “Fuck You” or you’re one of those special individuals who own the original EP, you cannot hear that song. Great episode guys, very enjoyable with Darcy, thank you! Possibly the greatest thrash band ever; Feel the Fire and The Years of Decay are absolute all-time favourites of mine. Cheers!

Years of decay might have been the first metal I heard, around 15 yrs old. Liked it but didn't really keep up with them after. Something didn't click with horrorscope. Cool episode. I know which albums to avoid if I get back into them...

Bought Taking Over on Record on release, because of this Video, I finally picked it up on CD and scored Live in Overhausen on BluRay at the same time, can't fucking wait for that one, Hails from Australia 💀

Really enjoyed this show! Great discussions. I feel like I got kind of caught up and may have rushed my thoughts on a few albums so I thought I would share my ranking based on what I’ve heard. 1. Years of Decay 2. Horrorscope 3. From the Underground and Below 4. Wrecking Your Neck Live 5. WFO 6. Feel the Fire 7. Taking Over 8. Under the Influence 9. Necroshine 10. Ironbound 11. Scorched 12. Electric Age 13. Bloodletting 14. I Hear Black Thank you again guys!!

I'm the same as you Mr Worm, own em' all, still yet to pick up the last one 😂 and being said like Mr Worm, Feel the Fire is Number 1 , what a Chunk of Gold 👌

Great shows guys. Always a pleasure to watch. For rage it might be better to do just a top 10, instead of all catalogue

This was fun. As I knew it was going to happen, I do think you all were a bit harsh on their material from WFO through Immortalis. When comparing to what their peers were putting out during that period, except for Sodom nobody was putting out as good material. (I’m not talking about the underground extreme stuff of the time) At least consistently. Some of their peers went away and came back. That doesn’t count in my book. Overkill never left. Overkill went “screw you alternative rock!” “We’re here and not going away! Nor are we putting a grunge album out either”. Did they adopt more groove? Yes, but it was always there. What true metal doesn’t have groove? Except for caustic black metal, or war metal groove is there, now how much groove? Yes, they amped it up during that time. I won’t argue that. But they never came close to Roots era Sep or Soulfly territory. THAT’S groove! I knew it! If anyone was going to be critical on Ironbound it was going to be Alan. 🤣 you are one picky son of a….! 😂😆. They literally did what you would want from Overkill in spades and the songs seem too long?!? Haha. I also learned from his grading system his students must really have to impress him to get an A in his class😅. If Ironbound had come out in 89? It definitely be an A in his book. It was a good episode. It pretty much went down as I expected. Your criticisms and praises on point with your particular tastes. At the end of the end of the day for me? Overkill’s worst is still decent if not good when comparing to a lot of other metal out there. But that’s just me. Thanks again for the content.

Great choice here, both Overkill and, of course, Darcy. Anyways, prompted by this video, I decided to blow the dust off I Hear Black and listen to it again after god knows how many years since. And, you know, I just don't think it's THAT bad, Granted, it's a major drop from the previous records, and hoo boy, is there a major Pantera influence on this thing, but maybe it'd be better to say that it's a better record on its own than an Overall album. Granted, it's fucking flawed, too. Admittedly! And it really does seem like the Sabbath accusation is largely coming from "Spiritual Void," which was a single from this album (and have from my old college radio days on CD single somewhere). But, I'm not feeling it's a total loss -- which is to say that I might drag it out in another... say... 20 years? LOL. Anyways, great episode.

Oh Lisa how Allen misses you
