When talking about doom metal there is always an expectation of crushing riffs, and an isolated feeling.  Pallbearer certainly provides this.  However, can doom be used as an outlet to display genuine emotion and complex types of sorrow?  Pallbearer attempts to do this.  Does it work?  Find out in this episode of Discography Discussion.

Defeated Sanity is a favorite amongst technical brutal death metal fans around the world.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan and Joe try to figure out why this is, and endlessly ponder the question of whether technicality trumps brutality.  Spoilers, it’s a solid discography, and we had a lot of fun with this one.  Check it out! #discussmetal #DefeatedSanity Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography Discussion Podcast...

Crimson Thorn is one of the heaviest and brutal Christian death metal bands to hit the scene in the mid 90s.  Sporting the deepest vocals ever heard in Christian death metal, (and maybe death metal in general if we are being honest) Crimson Thorn made a name for themselves as being able to stand musically toe to toe with industry titans such as Carcass and Cannibal Corpse.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan and Joe look into those bold claims and give you their thoughts on this...

As Blood Runs Black was a band here to make a ruckus and that is exactly what they did over the course of 3 albums.  Was As Blood Runs Black one of the most important deathcore bands to ever exist?  We aren’t totally sure about that however there is not a lot to complain about. #discussmetal #AsBloodRunsBlack Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography Discussion Podcast Homepage - http://bit.ly/DiscographyDiscussion Subscribe to RSS -...

Stabbing Westward kicks off Industrial December this year as we dive into this new wave inspired industrial rock phenomenon that took place in the mid to late 90s. This style of music ran right alongside nu-metal as the go to style of music for disenfranchised young people.  Was Stabbing Westward so popular because they were original?  Or was industrial rock always destined to leave a lasting impression?  Find out on this episode of Discography Discussion. Enjoy! #discussmetal...

At the suggestion of Lance AKA The King of Metal, Dan and Joe decided it's time we talked about some Bad Brains.  Bad Brains is one of the most influential hardcore punk bands that ever had a shot at mainstream success. Are they still influential today?  How many bands have you heard that were influenced by Bad Brains?  You might be surprised at how many there are! #discussmetal #badbrains Join our Patreon: Discography Discussion on Patreon - http://bit.ly/discussmetalpatreon Discography...

Creativity is a word often used to describe any art form.  How many artists in the world truly embody creative freedom?  We ask this when trying to describe a band like Kekal.  A band that a lot of listeners would describe as an “avant garde” or “progressive” metal band is actually far more than that.  What does it mean to have true creative freedom, and how much can it be applied before sacrificing digestibility?  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Geoff give their own...

Antestor is one of the most important Christian metal bands to come out of the 90s Scandinavian metal scene.  With their own brand of “sorrow metal,” Antestor paved the way for other Christian extreme metal bands to come, and is still putting out records to this day.  What is it that makes this band special?  Is it ok to call Christian bands black metal?  We attempt to tackle those questions and more on this cold and sorrow filled episode. Enjoy. #discussmetal #Antestor Join our Patreon:...

Morgoth was a hungry band who wanted to be as heavy and brutal as they come in the early 90’s death metal scene.  But, they didn't do that for some reason.  On this episode of Discography Discussion Dan, Joe, and Geoff dive into a band who strove to redefine what they were about to a mixed reception, and we try to figure out whether experimentation works for every band.
