Yeah, I'm late with another episode, but the music is still brand-new. Life can get busy, however that doesn't stop the promo inbox from filling up with upcoming and newly-released slabs of new heavy metal, so here's a healthy serving of some choice picks from the past couple of months.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

You know what's funny about people who complain that metal is just a bunch of loud ugly noise? They're absolutely right. I'd like to think of us metalheads as connoisseurs of music that sounds like a deranged cookie monster manning a jackhammer.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Snarky titles aside, I'm not nearly enough of an elitist to bash on the commercial stuff of the early millennium. It is, after all, what I grew up with and I still have a hell of a soft spot in my heart for it. That said, I'm not playing any on this podcast because there's only so much retro-nostalgic BS I can handle…

Forget the good ol' days; anyone who says there's no good new music out there is just lazy and jaded. There's plenty of fresh bands out there doing great things, which is what this podcast is all about.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

A week behind, but better late than never, right? However, while summer sun can provide Vitamin D, it does not provide a useful way to keep the promo box from overflowing, so here we are with another episode of Another Metal Podcast.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Just kidding, there's no philosophy on this episode, only brutal, blackened, and abrasive new music to enjoy with the family. Those bringing the torture this time around come from the US, UK, Canada, Norway, Turkey, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, France, Poland, and Portugal.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority of metalheads in that I don't like moshing. Sweaty shirtless men, pent-up testosterone, unresolved daddy issues; it's just not for me.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I think 'beautifully ugly' sums up heavy metal fairly well; it's harsh, abrasiveness, often dissonant, but at the same time it can convey the same depth of thought and emotion as any 'beautifully beautiful' art. At least, that is, if you have an ear for it; for most people it's just a wall of buzz saws and puking sounds. Well, here's to the recorde…

Like the episode title says, this is a pretty damn heavy one. Granted, they always are but this week's slab of heavy just feels...heavier. Lots of brutality is on display thanks to an abundance of solid releases lately, especially in the past month.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I mentioned to a friend recently that I've been doing this podcast for a little over two years now and their response was simply: "Why?"Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Here's episode 82 of Another Metal Podcast, discussion-free, commercial-free, and sh!$ty music-free (probably debatable, but this is my podcast after all).Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Here's a new episode, new music, and hopefully some new listeners as I slowly inch may way to the first hundred episodes. And so far I've only messed up a few times, so I'll keep crossing my fingers for luck.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

There's a lot of attention right now being given to old-guard hanging it up and announcing farewell tours, which is understandable, but I think it's also a symptom of some of the things holding metal back as an industry. Support the underground, because that's what metal is nowadays.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I realize a while ago that I essentially do this podcast so other people can be lazy. I go through mountains of sonic turds to find choice new music from around the globe, all so listeners can skip the digging and enjoy the good without (most of) the bad. I'm okay with that though; if I'm anything it's a humble servant in the metal community.…

Every once in a while I end up with an episode that is almost completely non-stop brutal from front to back without even meaning to. Usually I have a set or two in the playlist of 'breathing room', ie. some lighter stoner rock and/or prog. This is not one of those times. Have fun.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I'm back from my short holiday respite and hope everyone had a brutally joyous New Year. Despite many a tired and crusty metal blogger claiming 2017 was a boring year for heavy music I personally think it was a solid year, it just didn't have strong trends in any single genre, and besides, if it sucked how did I find so much great stuff to play for…

Santa may have the market cornered on bringing presents and Christmas cheer to everyone across the globe, but you can consider me the Santa of heavy fuckin' metal because I've got a digital sack full of the stuff for everyone. And I bring it around a couple times a month, not once a year. Eat it, fat man.…

Another two hours of brand-new brutality coming in hot! Heavy metal Santa is coming early with grimy gifts from Norway, Poland, Ukraine, US, UK, Germany, Belarus, Denmark, Australia, Finland, and Northern Ireland.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Here's your heavy metal slop for the week, you filthy animals. At least it's well sourced slop from countries like Canada, Italy, UK, US, Poland, Greece, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Chile, and Austria so your diet of brutality is well-rounded.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I don't know if it was my mood lately, the time of year, or just pure happenstance but this episode turned out pretty damn ugly. But in a good way, because I'm talking about the abrasive, vile, and caustic music and not the production of the show (that's always been complete shit). There's not a clean sounding song on this one and it and the blocks…

Here's this week's catch of new heavy metal. Onward to some new brutality from the lands of Australia, US, Finland, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Poland, UK, and India.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Have you ever thought it weird that we listen to loud horrendous-sounding music for entertainment? Me neither, so here's a big ol' helping of the stuff. This week's batch of new heavy metal comes from the US, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Canada.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Guess what's on this week's episode of AMP? If you guessed brutal new music you're absolutely right, but that doesn't make you smart; this is a heavy metal podcast and the closest I get to easy listening is atmospheric black metal.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Does the brutality ever end? No, and that’s why you get this two-hour hot mess every week, full of brand-new heavy metal from every nook and cranny on the globe. This week’s batch of fresh heaviness comes from the lands of the US, UK, Greece, Northern Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Canada, Finland, Iceland, and Columbia.…

The title says it all; here's another batch of new heavy metal from nooks and crannies all over the globe. Such nooks and crannies include Canada, Northern Ireland, Italy, US, Australia, Poland, Peru, Nepal, Cuba, Sweden, Romania, Germany, and Brazil.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

One end of the country is drowning in hurricanes and the other is on fire; it's a mess out there. Good thing we always have new music releases to practice our heavy metal escapism with. This week's batch of loudness hails from the US, Brazil, Israel, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Finland, Austria, UK, Catalonia, and Poland.…

It was a weird week, with eclipses, big fights, and hurricanes so how about something a little more reliable? Like a whole lot of brutal new music to feed your tinnitus with.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I think much of my disappointment in the solar eclipse today can be blamed on heavy metal. In metal songs an eclipse signals demonic hordes, loss of sanity, the swallowing of the world, or at the very least a spooky prophecy. All I got was a sunspot on my eye (two pairs of sunglasses should have been enough, right?).…

Here's this week's slab of new heavy metal, there's doom, death, and destruction to be had so crank the speakers. This batch comes from the US, UK, Sweden, Canada, Finland, and Spain.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I hope you're ready for brutal, because this week's episode hardly has any 'nice' songs at all. This is a pretty deathy, doomy, and blackened two hour set of new heavy metal coming from the US, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Canada, France, Siberia, Netherlands, Chile, UK, and Australia.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Guess what this week's episode of the metal podcast is full of? Metal, that's what. And its coming from the US, UK, Russia, Germany, Norway, Canada, Siberia, Iran, Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands so crank those speakers and give yourself tinnitus.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I hope you didn't mind the week off from the podcast, but we only get about 8 days of true summer here in the Pacific Northwest and I'll be damned if I'm going to miss 'em. But the show is back and this week's batch of ugly comes from the US, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Greece, and Texas (they appreciat…

Sixty is a big number isn't it? We'll just pretend that it is, even though I'm not doing anything special. I had been doing a sort of 'top picks' thing every twenty episodes, but since the whole point of the podcast is having new music every week I'm just going to stick with regular episodes instead of playing tracks you already heard five months a…

Here's this week's batch of new heavy metal, representing the US, Japan, Lebanon, Britain, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria, Spain, Australia, Serbia, Scotland, Czechia, China, and Canada.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I've had listeners tell me they listen to the show at work, which is where I get most of my music listening in as well. Somehow though, I doubt these people work in retail or customer service, but if you do blast this heaviness where innocent bystanders are exposed to it then horns up to you.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I hope everyone liked the change-up last week with the Hypnotic Dirge showcase taking the place of a regular episode of the show; it's good to mix things up every once in a while. But this week I'm back to business as usual with a two hour block of brand-new brutality.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

In the newest installment of my Moving Metal series I talk to Nicolas Skog, founder and head of Hypnotic Dirge Records, a cornerstone label for underground black, doom, and experimental metal.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I should make it a habit of coining new genres based on these playlists... Or not, definitely not. But I will still bring you beautiful people some killer new underground heavy metal every week, just like this new batch.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

I mentioned last week something about the stronger showing of stoner metal and hard rock, genres I usually have at least one full segment of on each episode. Well, somehow I seem to have gone completely in the opposite direction this week.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

The title for this week is a bit cheeky; this episode's playlist seems to be pretty heavy on stoner/doom and death metal. Which makes for a nice change from the black/death mix that I've been leaning towards for a while now. Regardless, it's a brutal set of music as usual, so strap in and crank those speakers.…

Picking two hours worth of new heavy metal is a double edged sword; the kind of sword Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road sing about. On one hand it's a great excuse to spend my free time listening to truck-loads of new music, on the other hand I have to spend my time listening to truck-loads of new music. I miss you Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road...…

It's episode 52 for this heavy metal podcast, and even though this is a weekly show it's actually been going for a bit more than a year; the first couple of months were bi-weekly and I have of course missed a few weeks here and there for. But let's just go ahead and say it's been a year of spotlighting new underground heaviness since I never proper…

Welcome to this week's roundup of new metal. This week's bunch hails from the US, UK, Slovenia, Sweden, Singapore, Finland, Poland, Portugal Italy, Greece, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Ukraine, and Germany.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Here's the big five oh. Fifty episodes of this little heavy metal podcast, and it's going strong with no midlife crisis in sight. Many hails to all the regular listeners that have signed on to the weekly cacophony; it's good to know the bands that I play on every episode are getting some exposure.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

If you're a metalhead, then you've heard the question, "Are you angry?" when your music is overheard by 'normals' at least 243,198 times in your life. And we all know it's not the music that makes us angry; it's the asshat asking the question.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

Welcome to this week's edition of the little heavy metal podcast that could. It's got lots of brutal new music from lots of different places, like Sweden, US, UK, Poland, Denmark, China, Colombia, Belgium, and more. Give it a listen.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

If there's one thing that can be respected about heavy metal, it's the honesty. Just like how I honestly love putting these together each week because it gives me an excuse to drown my brain in a constant onslaught of loud, horrific-sounding cacophony.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast

If you can think of a better way to start off the week than with a giant block of new heavy metal, don't tell me about it because I like having an excuse to produce this ugly little duckling of a podcast. And besides, for some reason this is one of the few music-only heavy metal podcasts out there that doesn't do talk or interviews, which means I c…

If you're back for more of what I shovel at your ears every week that means you're a real glutton for sonic punishment, considering the black/death rabbit hole I've been wandering down lately. As the show has gone on it seems the average songs I pick just get nastier and more unforgiving, not unlike a junkie needing a stronger dose for each spike. …

I'm convinced that heavy metal is good for the soul, even if that soul is damned to eternal hellfire for listening to metal in the first place. Which is why I do this podcast every week; to make you feel good while sending you straight to Satan's mosh pit.Kirjoittanut Another Metal Podcast
