    #347 - The POONYs THE NUMBER 1 HEAVY METAL ALBUM OF THE 1970’S
    Apr 16 2026
    “If you’re gonna pick an album that’s supposed to be the album of the decade…” The Grammy’s have proven over and over to metal fans over the years that their decisions are (more often than not) completely arbitrary and have absolutely zero basis in honor, truth, or reality whatsoever. And if you need to be reminded of this irrefutable fact, just remember who won the Grammy for “Best Metal Performance” in 1989. “This was a little difficult and it was the first time…and there was no science behind this…” Every award show, whether it’s The Grammy’s for the music industry or The Emmy’s for the acting industry, seems to be nothing more than some random selection of whatever artist is deemed popular or worthy enough by an elite few individuals to receive such an esteemed and prestigious award, based on nothing more than pure speculation and industry favoritism. Well, we’ve decided that it’s OUR turn to do the same for metal. Because “it’s OUR award to give…” With that, we proudly present to you The Inaugural Bunkerpoon Awards for Excellence in Metal, to be known henceforth as THE POONYs, an awards show where WE decide (based on our own personal experience and metal knowledge) which artist is worthy of our own, self-important seal of approval, honor, and recognition. Ultimately, we hope that THE POONY AWARDS will become an event of prestigious accolades and glory that everyone in the metal community will attend with greater and greater anticipation and excitement. And given that this is our very first ever POONY AWARDS, we have to start with the decade that has defined everything in metal up to this point: The 1970’s. Understand that with this being our very first ever (ahem, “inaugural”) awards show that the logistics behind our nomination process might seem a bit clunky (and, again, completely random, which is “why those awards shows take so long…”), but this is OUR take and OUR nominations for the artist that will receive the coveted POONY Award for THE NUMBER 1 HEAVY METAL ALBUM OF THE 1970’S. “We’re gonna get better at this…” So break out your Sunday best and the most top shelf relaxers you have in your stash and JOIN US as we launch our first ever, totally random, self-indulgent, heavy metal awards show from the Bunkerpoon Center for Metal Excellence where we select “The Best Heavy Metal Album of the 1970’s” on this, The Metal Nerdery Podcast Awards: THE POONYs: Volume I – The 1970s.

  • #346 - Exodus GOLIATH Album Review

    #346 - Exodus GOLIATH Album Review
    Apr 9 2026
    Released March 20, 2026, GOLIATH, the newest behemoth to emerge from classic thrash masters EXODUS, feels a lot like 1989 but with some other added extras that are a bit different, experimental, and a little off the reservation relative to their earlier work. It also marks the return of Rob Dukes on vocals for the first time since 2010’s Exhibit B: The Human Condition. Loaded with scathing social commentary against the modern philistine monsters of our time, GOLIATH is sure to get the blood & adrenaline pumping and the fists & heads banging with revolutionary glee and righteous vengeance. Amidst all the thrashing, there are also a multitude of brutally heavy moments, shredding twin guitar harmonies, melodic riffs with power metal overtones, and even a string arrangement that, while a bit different than anything they’ve recorded previously, is still 100%, unapologetically EXODUS. Realize the “sad and/but true” fact that “people are getting dumber by the minute”, find out why you should NEVER go out on a boat drunk with a camera phone and talk to strangers, give some thought as to what might be “the most melodic Slayer song”, and prepare yourself for “The POONYs” when you JOIN US as we tackle GOLIATH, the latest metal monstrosity from EXODUS.

    #345 LAMB OF GOD Into Oblivion Album Review
    Apr 2 2026
    “It’s like we’re missing someone…” Released Friday, March 13, 2026, INTO OBLIVION, the latest offering from Richmond, Virginia’s LAMB OF GOD, features a new logo and an album cover that hints at the darker atmosphere that dwells within. “It’d be wrong to do a clinky without Russ…” Chock full of enough sick grooves, primal screams, and disgustingly brutal riffs to give anyone who hears it a healthy case of “stank face”, INTO OBLIVION checks all of the prerequisite boxes necessary to maintain the interest of the most loyal fans while also offering enough sonic surprises to capture the curiosity of potentially new LAMB OF GOD fans. In short, it’s everything you’ve come to expect with a little extra texture thrown in for good measure. “This is so weird without Russ here…actually, it might be better without Russ here…” Get ready for a whole bunch of “hot takes”, because we’ve got Embering Effigy back in The Bunkerpoon with us, and we didn’t waste any time with the usual foreplay and got “right into the meat” with this episode. Find out which band “doesn’t belong in The Big Four” and remember JD’s sage words of wisdom “if you don’t want a gut” when you JOIN US (and special guests Embering Effigy) as we sprint INTO OBLIVION with LAMB OF GOD.

    #344 - EMBERING EFFIGY - OUT OF THE WOODS Album Review
    Mar 26 2026
    “Let’s keep the dumb fuhqery to a minimum today…” EMBERING EFFIGY, the “Southern Fried Thrash Metal” threesome hailing from the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia are making some noise in venues all across the Southeast with their blistering live shows and their recently released new album, OUT OF THE WOODS, featuring 8 tracks of old school thrash infused with a generous blend of blast beats, high energy punk, filthy breakdowns, and even some old school “mosh parts” for good measure. There’s enough fast stuff, heavy stuff, and sick stuff on this album to give anyone who hears it a complete stank face makeover. “We’ve never had this many inputs before…” We recently had a chance to hang out with EMBERING EFFIGY and do a full playthrough of OUT OF THE WOODS (deep within the insulated walls of Bunkerpoon Studios), including some track by track insights from the band as well as some Q&A about their history, their live shows, and of course the new album and everything that went into making it (along with some ultra hilarious vulgarity that’s too obscene to be mentioned here). “I want a juicy girl…” If you haven’t seen EMBERING EFFIGY live as of yet (or if you ‘blacked out’ only three songs into their set like ‘some people’…), they are definitely one of those bands you must experience extremely LOUD and LIVE, so if you need something to tide you over until you can catch one of their shows, pick up OUT OF THE WOODS and crank it up to 11! “Maybe we should be listening to THAT in the car…instead of KISS.” It’s time to “Make Thrash Dangerous Again” because we’re packed in so “tight and intimate” that whoever is in the middle is “going skiing”. Get your relaxers prepared and get ready to JOIN US for our BEHIND THE METAL local metal showcase with EMBERING EFFIGY as we crank it up a notch and get OUT OF THE WOODS.

  • #343 - SIDE TWO VERSUS SIDE ONE

    #343 - SIDE TWO VERSUS SIDE ONE
    Mar 19 2026
    Ever since compact discs came out in the mid-1980s, the concept of SIDE 1 and SIDE 2 on an album sort of fell by the wayside. And with this new quantum leap in technology, the entire process of consuming music began to transform. By the late 80’s and early 90’s, CD sales began outselling vinyl records and cassette tapes, due in large part to convenience and technological innovation, as vinyl records (albums) were limited to a maximum of 20 minutes or so per side and cassette tapes maxed out at around 30 minutes per side. But prior to compact discs, consuming music was (at a minimum) a two-step process which involved inserting the cassette into your tape deck and pressing play or placing the album on your turntable and dropping the needle to begin your music enjoyment experience. With the advent of compact discs, the maximum recording space jumped to 74 minutes, far exceeding the limitations of records and tapes, and bonus: you didn’t have to flip anything over and repeat the process as all of the album tracks were included on one side (so to speak) as one complete, seamless work that systematically eliminated the technologically imposed intermission which required ejecting the cassette or removing the stylus from the album and flipping it over to SIDE TWO, as a CD version of an album quickly became a singular entity devoid of one side or another and just became one complete work (think Reign In Blood on cassette, where both sides are repeated). In the case of a near perfect album, sides didn’t really matter, but what we’ve come to notice over the years is that SIDE TWO would sometimes be superior to SIDE ONE. Granted, this is not by any means an exact science nor is it always a guarantee, but many of the finest albums in metal history have a SIDE TWO that is much better than SIDE ONE. So, with that in mind, we invite you to JOIN US as we go through a few of our favorites to determine whether or not there is any validity to the claim that SIDE TWO IS BETTER THAN SIDE ONE.

    #342 - Rob Zombie The Great Satan Album Review
    Mar 12 2026
    “Wait a minute, is she your hall pass? Can we confirm that?” Many folks in certain parts of the world have been calling the United States “The Great Satan” for decades, long before ROB ZOMBIE’s eighth studio album, THE GREAT SATAN, was called that. “…and the first words out of her mouth when she pulls up: ‘Can I inspect your meat?’” Released on 02/27/2026 on Nuclear Blast, the newest studio offering from ROB ZOMBIE, THE GREAT SATAN, has a much heavier, darker, and more aggro feel than past albums, and the album art, the album title, and the album sound all fit perfectly within the “haunted house motif” that has become part of his signature style and sound. “There’s this thing called ‘consent’…” Prepare for an accidental ADHD moment that took us down a rabbit hole into Mr. Zombie’s back catalog of albums and movies, always remember that “a rare steak is not cooked”, get ready for a big shoutout to Yelp, and find out what “PTO” actually stands for (and why you NEVER want to use it for that) when you JOIN US for a dive into the depths of hellbilly infused heavy metal brutality with ROB ZOMBIE and THE GREAT SATAN.

    #341 WRATHCHILD AMERICA - Climbin' The Walls
    Mar 5 2026
    “He’s looking at me…” Released on August 22, 1989, CLIMBIN’ THE WALLS, the major label debut album from Martinsburg, West Virginia thrash metal savants WRATHCHILD AMERICA, is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely profound thrash metal albums in all of heavy metal history to be crafted by one of the most extraordinarily talented (and criminally underrated) bands in the entire genre. And to think, for many metalheads back in the day, their very first experience with this album was in a LIVE concert setting, opening for Testament. Just imagine how blessed one would be to see a band as unbelievable as WRATHCHILD AMERICA (for the very first time) opening for an established act like Testament and being completely blown away after just one show, having NEVER heard the album before getting to see them LIVE! “He’s making eye contact…” With a stylistic palette that blends thrash, heavy metal, and 70’s classic rock, there is absolutely NO ONE else in metal who sounds ANYTHING like them. And if you’re jonesing to purchase a copy of CLIMBIN’ THE WALLS, not to worry, because it was recently re-released (along with their second and final album, 3-D) as part of a two-CD package with a couple of bonus tracks. “Is he still lookin’ at you?” Get ready for a trip back through time to the days of yore, when thrash was still riding high and the opening band for Testament absolutely blew the minds of everyone in attendance when you JOIN US for one of the greatest and most underrated metal albums of all time with WRATHCHILD AMERICA: CLIMBIN’ THE WALLS. (Also, just in case you might be wondering, there’s an early (we’re talking “6 years ago, during the Hodges Era” early: 02/20/2020) episode appropriately dubbed WRATHSAZ, which is a combo episode featuring both WRATHCHILD AMERICA and the darker, groovier, heavier incarnation that followed, Souls At Zero.)

    #340 ANTHRAX featuring JOHN BUSH, aka BUSHTHRAX
    Feb 26 2026
    “If I hadn’t have known that was Anthrax, I would have guessed it was Alice In Chains…” The early 90’s was a strange time for metal, most notably due to the change in the musical landscape with the emergence of the Seattle scene and Alice In Chains becoming one of the key crossover bands to bridge the transition from thrash to the next wave of darker, grungier sounding heavy metal. “Every time you do that, I have a less chance of getting laid…” While ANTHRAX began the 90’s with a much darker and angrier sound on Persistence of Time, the darkness and heaviness of their sound would become further amplified with the departure of Joey Belladonna and the addition of JOHN BUSH (formerly of Armored Saint) on vocals, resulting in a new era of Anthrax: BUSHTHRAX! With more grit and heft in the vocals than before, the JOHN BUSH ERA of ANTHRAX is definitely a different flavor than the band’s output throughout the 80’s with Joey Belladonna, and with the changing of the guard in the early 90’s due to the growing popularity of the Seattle sound, the time was right for a slight alteration to the thrashier sounds of 80’s era ThrashThrax, resulting in the darker, more aggressive BUSHTHRAX era that would follow for the next decade or so. “Alright, well it’s not like we’ve never done that for you before…” Always remember that “springtime LSD is the best time for LSD” and that “it’s not as fun for me when I push away”. Realize that “girls with Doc Martens are kinda cute (except for when they wear ‘patrouli’)” and imagine what it’d be like “if we bled out of our dicks for a week” when you JOIN US for some 90’s era ANTHRAX featuring JOHN BUSH, aka BUSHTHRAX!!!
