Episode 301 of Verse Chorus Verse — Evil's second 10 out of 10, and the companion piece to last week's Clutch Blast Tyrant deep dive.Corrosion of Conformity's Wise Blood (1996) is the Grammy-nominated follow-up to Deliverance, with James Hetfield singing background vocals on Man or Ash — not because Pepper Keenan asked nicely, but because Hetfield wanted to be on it. That's the kind of peer respect COC had at their peak.The central debate: is this better than Deliverance? Evil flip-flopped the entire prep week — whichever album he was listening to was the better one — and landed on 10/10 for both. DL gives it a 9/10 and keeps going back to Deliverance, but calls Drowning in a Daydream (the Grammy-nominated track) a 12-out-of-10 song.Deep dives into: Pepper Keenan's arc from opening for Metallica in 1996 to being the gravitational center of a whole Southern metal scene (COC, Down, NOLA), the Woody/Pepper guitar tone pairing — SGs into Mesa Boogies, one panned center and one on the perimeter — Long Whip Big America as Evil's surprise #1 pick, the Alice in Chains DNA in Bottom Feeder, and why Pepper's vocal delivery is what separates this from everything else in the genre.Listener question: Deliverance or Wise Blood — which one wins?Next up: the Radiohead series finale.

When an Australian thrash band that never broke big in the U.S. gets compared to early Metallica, Slayer, and Maiden in the same breath, you know you've stumbled onto something special. This episode dives into Mortal Sin's 1986 debut Mayhemic Destruction—a ferocious, drum‑heavy, DIY thrash record from Sydney that plays like a missing puzzle piece in 80s metal history.Across the conversation, the hosts unpack how Mortal Sin emerged out of Australia's pub‑rock and Buffalo‑style heavy scene into a faster, more aggressive sound after drummer Wayne Campbell discovered Metallica through tape‑trading in 1984. They trace the band's rapid rise from self‑funded studio upstarts to landing a global deal, touring with Metallica, Megadeth, and Testament, and struggling with that classic “too big for pubs, too small for arenas” problem back home. Along the way, they dig into the band's revolving‑door lineup, eerie mystery around the original drummer's disappearance, and the evolution of Mortal Sin's sound across later records.Musically, the episode zeroes in on what makes Mayhemic Destruction such a compelling outlier in 80s thrash. The drums and low end dominate the mix in a way that completely inverts the American template, forcing listeners to dig for the guitars and exposing a strange, rewarding hybrid of thrash, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, power metal, Motörhead grit, and proto‑death‑metal experiments on the title track. There's plenty of love for the riffs, time‑changes, and dark modal choices in songs like “The Curse” and “Lebanon,” but also honest criticism of the limited, Hetfield‑ish vocal approach and the odd sequencing choices that bury some of the strongest material in the back half.If you're into 80s thrash metal, early Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, NWOBHM, or obscure Australian metal bands that never quite got their due, this deep dive into Mortal Sin and Mayhemic Destruction is absolutely in your wheelhouse. It's a conversation about more than one album—it's about how geography, timing, and weird production decisions can turn a record into a cult artifact waiting to be rediscovered.Episode Highlights0:00 – Mayhem from Sydney – Setting up Mortal Sin, Mayhemic Destruction, and why this Australian thrash debut matters in the 80s metal landscape.5:05 – Battle jackets and logos – Gavin's origin story with Mortal Sin via patches, Kerrang! mags, and why some bands lived as imagery long before you ever heard a note.7:00 – Band history and lineup chaos – From Sydney origins and early rehearsals with Lino to global deals, tours with Metallica and Megadeth, and constant guitar player turnover.12:05 – DIY Mega Metal and Hetfield's stamp – Recording at 301 Studios, self‑releasing the album, mailing it out like a zine, and landing James Hetfield's 1986 endorsement.17:20 – “The Curse” – How the opening riffing, harmonics, and dissonant second‑guitar lines signal that Mortal Sin aren't just copying Bay Area thrash.22:30 – Drum mix from another planet – Why the massive, low‑end‑heavy drum sound flips the usual thrash hierarchy and changes how you hear the riffs and groove.24:50 – “Lebanon” – Dark, almost Slayer‑like scales, Dokken/Mr. Scary vibes, and how this track becomes a standout for mood and melody.25:30 – Thrash without a ballad – The near‑total absence of slow songs, the fake‑out intro of “Liar,” and what that says about the band's commitment to speed and aggression.30:15 – Honest strengths and weak spots – Praise for the riffs and rhythm section, plus a candid look at the limited vocals, buried mixes, and backward‑feeling sequencing.35:25 – Album art, demons, and Sydney in ruins – The Dungeons & Dragons‑style cover, nuked‑city imagery, and why this screamed “Tipper Gore nightmare” in the 80s.35:30 – “Mayhemic Destruction” (title track) – Proto‑death‑metal vocals and blast beats a year before Death's Scream Bloody Gore, and why burying it as the closer was a smart move.40:30 – Live vs. studio – What the 20th anniversary live tracks reveal about the band's true sound compared to the unique, drum‑heavy studio mix.[45:00 – Final verdict – Is Mayhemic Destruction a worthy album, a decent single, or a lost cult gem in the Australian thrash canon?Love uncovering 80s metal obscurities and lost thrash gems?

On this episode of The David Ellefson Show, hosts David Ellefson and Joshua Toomey welcome Chuck Billy of Testament to the podcast. Chuck discusses the band's new single “Infanticide A.I.” from the upcoming album Para Bellum and reflects on how James Hetfield continues to inspire his vocals with the mantra, “What would James do?”. He recalls Testament's early showcase for Jonny Z and Megaforce the day after Cliff Burton's tragic passing, sharing the surreal atmosphere of that moment. David and Chuck swap stories of touring together with Judas Priest, including the time Dave Mustaine wouldn't allow Testament to use their full stage production. Chuck also gives insight into Testament bassist Steve Di Giorgio's work on a Megadeth record, cementing his reputation as one of metal's most versatile players.Today's episode is brought to you by Rockabilia.com, Use code: DAVID10 for 10% Off your order. 100% authentic band merch since 1987!Join the Patreon for early access to episodes and Q and A's with the hosts www.patreon.com/tdesFor David Ellefson Stage Played Basses and Merch www.ellefsonemporium.comFollow David on Social Medialinktr.ee/davidellefsonFollow Joshua on Social Medialinktr.ee/talktoomeypodcast #megadeth #bassplayer #thrash #bigfour
“What would your final meal be?”That innocent question explodes into absolute chaos on this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show. Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into a wildly unpredictable round of “Food Feud”—a game show-style segment that starts with square dancing and ends with a debate over whether soup belongs in a death row meal.From flying coffee spills to bizarre buzzwords like “Let's go Hetfield!” and “shirt,” this episode is a masterclass in comedic timing, off-the-rails improv, and food-fueled mayhem.
James Durka joins the show to talk both nights in the snake pit of M72 in Toronto. He and Clint discuss Poor Re-touring Me, Load and Reload, The Tragically Hip and Rush, hearing “One” for the first time, Dave Mustaine's new disparaging comments about the boys, writing credit within Metallica, Pantera 2.0, alternate picking with Hetfield, Kirk and Rob's doodles, the passion of Lars, messing up "until It Sleeps, sound checking with "The Unforgiven II," and St. Anger.

“If anything, it's three 7's…and one of them has a line in the middle…” This episode is effectively “nonverbal” in that it contains zero lyrics and is truly beyond words (so to speak). That's right, it's all about INSTRUMENTALS and it just so happens that they come in a wide variety of styles and options. On a studio album, INSTRUMENTALS are 7enerally either lon7er, extended, standalone musical arran7ements, or brief interludes which serve as a brid7e between two son7s. In a live scenario, INSTRUMENTALS are a 7reat opportunity that allows the vocalist time to take a brief break and enjoy some “ori7ami” and poon while the rest of the band continues to jam. Either way, INSTRUMENTALS offer instrumentalists a chance to express themselves musically in a way that truly transcends the power of the written word. Be sure to radically adjust your expectations whenever someone says “I'm gonna send you a file” and prepare yourself for a macrodose of happiness that is sure to transpire, especially if your brain “has to fix it” (and particularly if you “want it from the train”).

Formed in 1981 and hailing from Downey, California (the birthplace of the mighty Hetfield), thrash masters DARK ANGEL unleashed a darker, faster, more aggressive sounding brand of thrash, with a sound initially reminiscent of the death metal aesthetic present in Slayer's early work and later evolving into a more progressive, technical thrash sound resembling the latter part of Death's catalog. Prepare to learn more about “the outer balloon knot” (‘the yurt' as it ‘twere)” and remember that when it comes to old school thrash, those guys “got a LOT to say” and a very short time in which to say it. Enjoy a spirited debate regarding cover songs relative to the originals that was 100% “from the heart”, learn more about the benefits of “The Express Package”, and don't forget to “microwave your melons” after you JOIN US as we learn more about the technical thrash genius of “The L.A. Caffeine Machine”, DARK ANGEL.

Episode 401: Rockmore Returns! Bower attempts to name the 4 career-defining songs - prior to their "BLACK" Album - of the thrash metal Godz: METALLICA! Which tracks make the carving and who gets left off…
A number of bands seem to turn a corner with their third album, and Master of Puppets is no exception. Metallica's third album would achieve both critical and commercial success, crossing out of the new thrash metal sub-genre of hard rock to achieve multi-platinum recognition. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield collaborated with drummer Lars Ulrich as the principal songwriters, creating riffs that were assembled and reassembled over time until they formed a song. The band would then be called in to create a tile and topic for the song, at which point Hetfield would create the lyrics.Master of Puppets peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Although glam metal was on the rise, the band avoided the over-produced, synth-laden sound popular in the era, and stuck to their signature thrash metal sound with political lyrics. The resulting album would consolidate the thrash metal scene, and bring the sound into a more mainstream audience.Unfortunately, the album would also be the last one for which bassist Cliff Burton would be featured. Burton died in September 1986 while the band was on tour in Sweden, and their bus was involved in an accident.Metallica would become a huge group from the late 80's onward, and this album shows the strength of the group in those years when they were just coming into the consciousness of the commercial world.Lynch brings us this highly influential thrash metal album. Fans of the Show Julie Doran and son Zack join us in Wayne's absence for today's podcast. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)The song that concludes side 1 of the album was inspired by Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." The lyrics portray the thoughts of a mental patient incorrectly institutionalized in an asylum. The track starts slow and picks up steam as it goes. BatteryThis title could be a reflection of the charge of assault and battery, or it could be inspired by the military hardware of an artillery battery. There is also a connection to the original San Francisco thrash scene, centered on the Old Waldorf club on Battery Street. Control of violent urges is a connection that runs through the piece regardless of the original inspiration.Master of PuppetsCocaine addiction is the master of puppets referenced in this title track. Hetfield had friends experiencing drug addiction, and wrote this track from the perspective of the drug itself, taking over the lives of people. This will be a familiar song to fans of "Stranger Things." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Loved By the Sun by Jon Anderson and Tangerine Dream (from the motion picture “Legend”)This fantasy film starring Tom Cruise and Mia Sara was in the theaters at this time. STAFF PICKS:Your Wildest Dreams by the Moody BluesRob starts off the staff picks with a song that singer and guitarist Justin Heyward wrote while thinking back on his first love. It hit number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this song the biggest commercial success for the Moody Blues since "Knights in White Satin."Mothers Talk by Tears for FearsBruce's staff pick was inspired by a mom telling her kids that when they make faces, they will freeze that way. It is also inspired by an anti-nuclear cartoon called "When the Wind Blows" by Raymond Briggs. The song was written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley, and first performed in 1983. It went to number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kiss by Prince & the RevolutionJulie features a chart topping hit and lead single from Prince's eighth studio album, "Parade." The song is more acoustic and stripped down than prior Prince hits, and Warner Bros. didn't want to release it as a single. However, Prince insisted on both its inclusion on the album and its release as a single.Addicted to Love by Robert PalmerLynch closes out the staff picks with a song that may be more famous for its video featuring models pretending to play the instruments. Palmer originally wanted to sing this song as a duet with Chaka Kahn, but was prevented from doing so by legal issues. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Songbird by Kenny G.You just can't go wrong with a sax as we close out today's podcast.

Drew Estate introduced the Blackened M81 cigar line last year which is a collaboration with Rob Dietrich, master distiller and blender of Blackened American Whiskey, Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate, and lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Metallica, James Hetfield. The cigar gets it name from the first track off Metallica's ….And Justice for All album released in 1988 and M81 which M is for Metallica and their founding year of 1981. All three had a major hand in coming up with the blend of the Blackened cigar. From Drew Estate about the collaboration: Dietrich and Drew Estate President Jonathan Drew have been friends for many years. It was Dietrich who introduced Metallica lead singer James Hetfield to Drew. The idea was floated about creating a cigar brand. From there, the wheels were put in motion to create a cigar that shared the vision of the Blackened Brand. Drew provided cigars from the Drew Estate portfolio to sample and Hetfield and Dietrich kept cigar journals to critique the cigars and identify what they liked and disliked about each one. Eventually they were able to settle on the flavor profile which was the Blackened M81. Rob Dietrich also blended the companion whiskey also called Blackened. Will Cooper also reviewed this cigar in the toro size earlier year and it made #21 on Coop's Cigar of the Year list for 2023. Vitola: Robusto Size: 5 x 50 Wrapper: San Andres Mexican Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf Filler: Pennsylvania Broadleaf, Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate MSRP: $9.45 Cigars purchased at B & B Tobacconist in Asheville, NC Final Score: 91

“Awww mannn…” As of the recording of this episode, we were hyping ourselves into a frenzy to get fired up and ready for the upcoming PANTERA show (with King Parrot and Lamb of God opening) at the Ameris Amphitheater in Alpharetta, Georgia on September 12th, 2023. And as of the publishing of this episode, we will have already borne witness to the awesome display of power which made PANTERA the quintessential metal band of the 90's (more on that later…), and for that, we give “bigly tremendous” thanks and our utmost respect to both Charlie Benante and Zakk Wylde for joining Phil Anselmo & Rex Brown in the global crusade of preserving the memory, sharing the music, and highlighting the timeless legacy of The Brothers Abbott, as well as showing the younger generations of metalheads why PANTERA was, is, and always will be so incredibly special to the world of heavy music. (Again, more on that later…) Get your “fish chicken” ready because it's time to get “boned up about the wings” and prepare to understand why “mosquitos” are evil and “eminent domain” should be outlawed. Discover “the best Metallica album that Metallica didn't release”, get your “PhD in balls” and JOIN US as we fire up the barbie, enjoy some relaxers, and wax nostalgic while preparing to behold the metal legacy of the band that dominated metal in the 90's with the biggest djunts this side of the Rio Grande as Metal Nerdery Podcast proudly presents the PANTERA PRE-GAME.

Metallica was a big deal well before the release of this album. Singer and guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich had formed the band a decade prior to this fifth studio release, technically called Metallica but most commonly referenced as The Black Album due to its all-black cover. Hetfield and Ulrich, together with lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted were successful commercially and critically on the strength of previous albums, particularly their third (Master of Puppets) and fourth (...And Justice for All) studio releases. However The Black Album would be their most successful album release, and the second longest-charting traditional title release in history, behind only Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Metallica is one of the founding bands of thrash metal, and had a reputation for musicianship that was both fast and complex. The Black Album saw the band developing a slower, more refined sound with singles that were shorter and tighter, making them more accessible to a general audience. Hetfield also sought to create songs with a less "scream-heavy" vocalization. The result of their efforts was both their first number one album on the charts, and an album filled with some of their most well-known singles. The album is more heavy metal than their previous releases, but still retains a thrash metal edge.Metallica would go on from success to success, never really seeing their international fame fade. This album marks the point where the band had learned to master both their musical craft and their stage craft. John Lynch brings us this landmark heavy metal album. Enter SandmanThis track was the first single, the first song written for the album, and the last to receive lyrics. Hammett wrote the primary guitar riff after being inspired by Soundgarden's Louder than Love album. The original lyrics were much darker, referencing sudden infant death syndrome, and Lars Ulrich and producer Bob Rock encouraged Hetfield to rework them .Sad But TrueThe fifth and final single from the album was originally written in the key of E. When the producer pointed out that every song on the album was written in E, the band tuned down to D for this track. The idea for the lyrics about blind faith were inspired by the 1978 film "Magic" in which a ventriloquist is controlled by his puppet. The UnforgivenThe second single is a heavy power ballad about the struggles of the individual against an all-powerful machine-like force holding him captive. It has a softer style than most Metallica songs, and allows Hetfield's vocal musicianship to shine through. Two sequel songs would be released on future albums.Nothing Else MattersHetfield did not intend to release this song, but wrote it for himself when feeling homesick on tour. Ulrich encouraged him to include it in the album, and it is one of their biggest hits. While originally written about a girlfriend, the song has become a reference to Metallica's fans on tour. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Lets Work Together by The Kentucky Headhunters (from the motion picture “Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man”) This movie was a biker film with Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke in a Western style. STAFF PICKS:She's So High by BlurWayne is well known for his affinity to the Manchester psychedelic sound. However, this group with the Manchester sound is actually from London. While the song would appear to be about drugs, it is actually a reference to a girl who is out of the singer's league. Blur hit number 48 on the UK single's chart with this release.Straight to Your Heart by Bad EnglishRob's staff pick was written by Jonathan Cain for this supergroup formed from members of Journey and The Babys. John Waite's distinctive voice is clear on this hit from their second and final album, but it also maintains the rock sound. Face the Music by RTZ Bruce shares his take on this group formed by Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau, originally founding members of the group Boston, along with Brian Maes on keyboards, Tim Archibald on bass, and David Stefanelli on drums. This single is off RTZ's debut album "Return to Zero." While this song only went to number 49 on the US pop charts, the success of RTZ would convince Delp to leave Boston, only to return to the group a couple of years later.Crazy by SealLynch's staff pick is about the days when the Soviet Union was collapsing and the Berlin wall came down. English singer songwriter Seal brings a haunting, smooth sound. “In a sky full of people only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?” INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Sunshine by Timbuk 3The group best known for “The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades” penned this steel drum-laden instrumental.
