Radio Toilet ov Hell

This week on Toilet Radio: We're grippin' and sippin' at tear-stained chalices in our finest corsets as we discuss GOTHIC METAL. What in the world is gothic metal? What makes it different from goth rock and just how many sub-sub genres of it are there? We talk about some stand-out gothic metal acts like Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, and Moonspell while discussing some lesser-known bands you oughta know about. Brace yourself for sad bois and goils, frilly shirts, and plenty of tinkly keyboards as we get goth as all get out. Folks, it's a good one.

This week on Toilet Radio: We're taking our sweet ass time to discuss one of the slower elements in the heavy metal periodic table. This week is all about DOOM METAL. What is Doom? When did it differentiate itself from the first wave of heavy metal? What makes it a distinct entity from the many subgenres that emerged concurrently? Who are the power players throughout the decades? We're talking about an obscure NWOBHM band that unintentionally helped create the genre, Candlemass picking up the baton and making their stamp on the genre, and a variety of killer bands that have refined and reinvigorated the genre since. Folks, it's a good one.

This week on Toilet Radio: We're continuing our Genre series in which we spend an hour discussing one subgenre that makes up the kaleidoscope we know as heavy metal. This week it's all about HARDCORE. What is hardcore? How did this genre full of suburban knuckleheads bloom from the comparatively cosmopolitan world of 70s punk rock? How in the world did this small teenage scene go from 80s squalor to following Krishna in the 90s, get hip hop focused in the 2000s, and become mostly metal all along the way? We pick out a handful of songs that we think best illustrate the dimensions of hardcore and discuss what these bands all did to inspire a legion of other bands and sub-sub genres in their wake. Folks, it's a good one. Just a heads up, this episode is TOO HOT for standard platforms. You can listen to a stripped-down version here or on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts BUT if you want to listen to the full, uncut version you'll need to check out the Toilet ov Hell Patreon page.

This week on Toilet Radio: We're launching a new series in which we discuss one subgenre in heavy metal at a time. This series is about taking a single genre and discussing all the things we like about it. It's a wildly different approach for us. We're talking about the history and highlights of DEATH METAL in this very first edition. Where did it come from? Where did it go? Where did it come from, Death Metal, Joe? We're talking about thrash origins to a Floridian bloom, UK proliferation, and Swedish perfection in this compact lil primer on the genre you all know and love. We pick out a handful of songs that we think best illustrate the dimensions of death metal and discuss what these bands all did to inspire a legion of other bands and sub-sub genres in their wake.

This week on Toilet Radio: We finally got un update from a former As I Lay Dying band member about what exactly caused every non-Tim Lambesis member to leave the band all of a sudden. Turns out it's because Tim is a piece of shit. Dragged Into Sunlight dropped Meth from their upcoming US tour because they are artists with principles. Or really, really strange people. One of the two. Creed are gearing up for another cruise with 90s cast-offs and we can't wait to go. Metallica has a new documentary coming out. Yes. Another one. Finally, Ash Avildsen is at it again with MISS MAYHEM, a female-fronted traveling fest featuring what will almost-certainly be exclusively Sumerian Records bands. Folks, it's a good one.

This week on Toilet Radio: Financial instruments? Fuck that! We're talking about musical instruments! And how they will soon become very, very unaffordable thanks to the current cratering of the United States economy due to the single dumbest self-inflicted wound since the satanic invention of capitalism. Brian from Shadows Fall describes how he's already seeing costs go up and describes the misery that will soon follow. We take it to the logical conclusion and discuss how the entire concept of American music is in dire straits due to tariffs blowing up against our already shaky foundations. BUT IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM. We're also talking about the first statements Iced Earth's Jon Schaffer has made since getting his ass arrested for storming the capitol! ALSO: Danzig is a stupid old man who definitely does not care about approving his own merch, which is how we ended up with a black sun Danzig tee.

Talk about a band you don't want to meet in a dark alley... This is quite belated post for an interview I did last year with local chaotic-blackened-poweremoviolencecore band Low Before the Breeze. For dumb personal reasons you don't care about, I didn't have a chance to edit this interview until recently, and when I did I realized the mic shut off about halfway through. I thought about just leaving it unreleased, but this is an innovative band that's at the heart of a burgeoning emoviolence renaissance here in Atlanta, and I feel like they deserve some attention. So here it is in all its truncated silliness. I hope you enjoy. Check out the first single "Night Wept" from their upcoming debut album A Hole Beneath the Home We Shared out May 30th. Night Wept by Low Before The Breeze Be sure to check out the EP this interview was for, It Kindly Bent Around Me.

This week on Toilet Radio: We sat down to watch a little-known 2004 documentary on Christian heavy metal, Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music.

We even hear from son of disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker. Hot damn!

This week on Toilet Radio: We're going through the most excellent lineup of this year's Hell's Heroes, a celebration of old school heavy metal going down in Houston this spring.

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: As I Lay Dying continues on without any non-Tim Lambesis band members and now Austrian Death Machine, somehow still around, is also left without any non-Tim members. / A study in arrested development, Alien Ant Farm and CKY are beefing! The girls are fighting! / Big anniversary celebrations for Papa Roach and The Phantom Menace remind us that it has been 25 years since childhood ended / We talk about a big tour coming to very small towns featuring nothing but red-blooded American (and Canadian) music pushing some kind of insidious political agenda. Lets dive into 90s radio country / Decapitated have decided, against better judgement, to try touring the US again. Be sure to stretch before lifting that oh-so-heavy pool table. Folks, it's a show.

This week on Toilet Radio: Morbid Angel dropped off their own headlining tour to be replaced with I AM MORBID. What the fuck? That's like L.A. Guns being replaced by one of a dozen different active L.A. Guns outfits. Also on this week's show: We got a promotional email for an AI "metal band" that was generated entirely by a greasy fucking nerd typing with one hand. We dive into Pink Paradox and it's disgusting! Also, a fake "occult doom" AI "band" managed to fool a bunch of outfits and hapless Bandcamp purchasers before their forgery was found. Folks, it's a good one. Want more Toilet Radio?

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming. This week on Toilet Radio: Election madness! Jon Schaffer managed to get a slap on the wrist for diming out all his Oathkeeper buddies so Iced Earth will surely return soon. As I Lay Dying has completely melted down and it's all Tim Lambesis' fault. Warped Tour* has returned and it sucks real bad man. We talk about SHELL SHOCK FEST, an ill-fated local fest that tried to use Kyle Rittenhouse as a star attraction and then immediately went to shit. Finally, we talk about Ash vs. Ronnie Radke in a battle of who sucks more. Folks, it is an episode. Want more Toilet Radio?

This week: Our final episode of The 2024 Halloween Spooktacular. We're joined by returning champion Shayne Mathis to talk about Demons (1985), a movie about how much fun it is to skip school and go watch horror movies instead. For folks unfamiliar, Demons is a much-beloved Italian zombie flick that features the music of early Motley Crue, Saxon, Accept, and Billy Idol. It also features a much-beloved scene in which a guy rides a dirt bike around a movie theater chopping heads off with a sword. It rules. Join us as we talk about sleazy Italians, hidden horror gems, and big, mainstream coworker heavy metal. Folks, it's a good one. Join us next week as we get back to your regularly scheduled making-fun-of-metal-guys content. Happy Halloween. Want more Toilet Radio?

This week we're joined by Dave from Earsplit PR and noise-favorites Gridfailure. Dave felt we were having way too much fun with lighthearted horror romps and decided that we need to get grimy and horrifying ASAP with a modern horror classic. We're talking about 2011's SINISTER. Join us as we put on Ethan Hawke's acting sweater to talk about found-footage, black metal antagonists, Boards of Canada, and Ziggy Sobotka in this genuinely evil-ass motion picture. But that's not all, we're also talking about horror sequels, managing promotions for major bands, using found-sound for compositions, and lessons learned across a lifetime in horror and heavy metal. It's a good one. Join us next week as we talk DEMONI with a very special guest. Want more Toilet Radio?

This week we're joined by returning champion Maggie Serota to talk about 2014 action/horror cult classic The Guest. In his follow-up to 2013's You're Next, Adam Wingard imagines The Terminator and Halloween 3 through a lens of CW teen dramas and cocaine-infused beats. Scored by Zombi's Steve Moore, The Guest offers a thrilling soundtrack to go along with the hyperviolence that results when a stranger comes to town and not all is as it seems. Folks, it is a good one. Join us next week as we watch Sinister (2012) with a very special guest. Want more Toilet Radio?

We're joined by Greg from Nefarious Industries to talk about Peter Jackson's horror comedy classic, Dead Alive (or Braindead if you're a Euro). Long before The Lord of the Rings, Peter trafficked in the grotesque and absurd to create low-budget pictures jam-packed with guts and goo. We talk about his most splatter-y early work here. But that's not all, Greg tells us all about the mechanics of running a record label and touring with bands on $20 bucks a day. It's a good one folks.

We're kicking off the October Spooktacular, our month-long celebration of horror movies, with special guest Maddie (aka Beaver Mosh)! Maddie took some time off from interviewing cool metal bands to talk to us about one of her favorite horror movies - the OG in sci fi horror: Alien (1979). We're talking about the movie that spawned a million sequels, spin-offs, comics, and video games. Does the Alien eat people or just kinda chew on them? Is Jonesy an android? What is the goopy white stuff dripping out of Ash? And finally, what happened to Ridley Scott? These questions and more explored on this week's episode.

Oh god. Phil Labonte wrote an op-ed for Fox News about how society doesn't value men. Join us as we engage with his arguments, discuss the implications of patriarchal decline, and otherwise attack the character, beliefs, and appearance of the author. We also spend a lil time talking about a smart tactical move by The Blood Brothers on their upcoming reunion tour, Power Trip* playing shows with Pantera*, and the inevitable return of Warped Tour.

Tim Lambesis and Alex Terrible team up for an awful new song about how much incarceration sucks, the latest in diminishing returns from the reformed As I Lay Dying. We also learned that Janes Addiction returned by means of Perry Farrell having an extremely funny on-stage meltdown. Dez from Coal Chamber and Devil Driver has made powerful enemies with medical staff, drummers. Unto Others (formerly Idle Hands) got dropped from their upcoming tour with WASP and we learned that WASP has violently stupid opinions about Arabs. Cryptopsy has some baffling new merchandise for us to gawk at and, finally, Sanguisugabogg should probably stop tweeting whatever dumb bullshit comes to mind. Folks, it's a good one.

This week on Toilet Radio: We learn that right-wing media company Tenet Media, may be doing a little light treason with the help of Tim Pool, Phil Labonte, and the Russian government. Whoops! Also, At the Drive In's Cedric Bixler-Zavala is going to war with Scientology and, by extension, Linkin Park's new vocalist.

On this episode of Toilet Radio: Oops! All Our Guys! We promise one hour of nothing but talking about the dopes we've somehow spent many hours talking about already. TO START: RFK Jr dropped out of the presidential race and it's got Ash from Sumerian Records all itchy and chafe-y so you know he's gotta threaten some spurious legal action over it. Dumb! Also, Ronnie Radke is pursuing his own spurious legal action against YouTube talking head Anthony Fantano in what may be the most doomed lawsuit in history. Huzzah! Finally, Tommy Vext is BACK!

We're enjoying the final days of Summer and there's no better way to celebrate than by taking an audio journey to the Southern hemisphere. A couple years ago we made a trek to Japan to enjoy a wide variety of heavy metal noises. This time around we're setting our sights on Chile. Join me and Jordan as we learn some cursory facts about the longest country and explore some ripping thrash, crushing death, and tearfully sad boi doom metal.  If you really dig any of these selections let us know below and, as always, you should purchase the full releases using one of the handy links below.

This week on Toilet Radio: Sometimes a man has to make a very silly decision. In this case, that man is Jeff (@Solidstapp) and the decision is to attend an all-day local music fest with more bands than paying attendees hosted in a motel conference room. Join us as Jeff regales Joe and Jordan with tales from the upstate New York DIY and not-so-DIY scene.

This week on Toilet Radio: Boy, a lot of strange things happened since we last recorded. Some kid tried to shoot Donald Trump and hijinks briefly ensued. Everyone's moved on by now but Jack Black managed to knife his bandmate in the back over brief backlash they received for saying out loud what everyone else was already saying out loud. Meanwhile, Sticker Mule, a sticker printing company, decided to spam their customers with weepy pro-Trump messages. When their customers weren't sufficiently respectful, the company doxxed their customers with the help of Chaya "That Awful Libs of Tiktok Lady" Raichik. / Meanwhile, Tony Iommi is releasing a SECOND signature fragrance if you have a spare $300 and want to smell like patchouli, Rolling Stone put together a shamefully lazy list of records they consider to be the worst album covers of all time, and Hell's Heroes 2024 looks great except for the unwelcome inclusion of Russley McGovern and Absu.

This week on Toilet Radio we tackle artificial intelligence in heavy metal. In the past we've discussed odious little AI projects like Frostbite Orckings and ShredderZ which were, all credit due, absolutely odious. This time we delve further into a dozen or so other fake AI metal "bands" to get a taste for what some of the most Cheeto-stained people are earth are generating while drying up the last remaining freshwater from the Great Lakes. Join us as we explore hard right wing nu metal, Christian rap rock, false thrash, fake deathcore, and many more truly awful sounds. We also discuss the ongoing lawsuits between the major labels and Suno and other AI-generation companies but rest assured, whoever wins we will have much more of this crap getting pumped out.
