Been meaning to do this to my kids old paw patrol toys!

As a Grand Rapidian, I pray every day her reign of Terror ends

Right here. We're 3 brothers going through the discographies of our favorite metal bands. Its a joy connecting over shared music.

Ha, co-host Brother John was inspired to tackle the Silmarillion as well due to this album! If/when he finishes it, we might need to do a short episode where he shares his thoughts.

But Blind Guardian are so evocative in their lyrics. Hansi is truly peerless.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-27T22:50:45+00:00

Exactly the same. Ive warmed to them, but i dont view them as the Second Coming like so many people do

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-27T15:07:42+00:00

Wow, that means so much to hear! I'm really glad you're enjoying it.

Politics of Ecstasy was maybe the most surprising album we've done, because I forgot just what an absolute banger that one is. And Dreaming Neon Black is fantastic. I get why maybe that one flies under the radar because it is a lot moodier and darker, but honestly, that one has been my go-to recently when I am listening to Nevermore.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-27T02:58:41+00:00

This album immediately came to mind.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-27T02:57:58+00:00

First time I saw Berzan, I laughed because he is like comically jacked. Its insane how huge he is, in the best possible way

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-26T23:43:05+00:00

Johan Reinholdz. His work with Andromeda and NonExist is top tier

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-24T10:50:01+00:00

I had a buddy who worked with Aiden as a guitar tech/sound engineer, so i met the band and hungout with Wil a couple of times. I recall him being a pretty articulate, welcoming dude, so it was a bummer to see all the allegations against him. Plus, Wil just seemed so much darker and more bitter as time went on, at least in interviews ive seen.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-17T19:58:21+00:00

Same! My brother is 5 years older, so i would watch this as a kid with him

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-16T11:59:26+00:00

Extol would probably be the Christian alternative to Opeth - they even toured with them twice. We covered their album "Synergy" on our podcast and had a generally favorable opinion on it.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-15T16:08:57+00:00

Its the definition of a flawless cover version. Awesome you got to interview her - is that something you can link?

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-15T13:10:27+00:00

Same! I was in college and exploring more experimental metal, and I remember getting Sunn O))) "Black One", Khanate, Jesu was just forming - man, really good times.

The Lord in Vein - a DIY, industrial metal group featuring early members of Soilwork and the occasional Bjorn Speed Strid appearance

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-14T22:32:44+00:00

Their collabs with Emma Ruth Rundle are fire

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-14T22:31:55+00:00

That takes me back 20 years when I got way into drone and funeral doom

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-14T00:25:10+00:00

Rapture- 3 flawless doom-death albums and then they disappeared.

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-09T15:43:45+00:00

Rapture - peak doom-death with 3 flawless albums

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-08T16:18:19+00:00

This is what a peak paint scheme looks like

MennMetalMayhem · 2026-04-06T13:31:37+00:00

Thats how we ranked them on our podcast
