Episode 151 – From the Lawless Firm of Mendonça & Gray: AKERCOCKE 2005-2017

October 5, 2026 · 1 hr 33 min

Much like their hometown of London, England, Akercocke at once embody urbanity and the bucolic, depravity and erudition -- constantly blurring the lines between seemingly opposite poles. In Akercocke’s world, nothing is quite as it seems…

It's back to Norway for Radical Research, although this time, it's not about weirdness, unless you consider us covering an album like this a little weird. But we adore this band, especially this 30-minute masterpiece. And for years, we’d…

July 13, 2026 · 1 hr 36 min

What exactly constitutes "Radical Research material?" We're gonna test that question with this and the next episode. With episode 148, we answer with more questions: "Is it weird?" "Is it heavy?" "Is it something we enjoy?" "Would most of…
Episode 147 – Crack the Code: Kevin Moore’s Genius

June 20, 2026 · 1 hr 38 min

The scope of Kevin Moore’s genius begins with Dream Theater’s “Space-Dye Vest” and concludes with OSI’s Fire Make Thunder. We try to use the g-word sparingly around here, but truly, Moore’s singular artistic vision is something we attempt…
Episode 146 – Radical Metallurgy Challenge: The Chameleons’ Script of the Bridge

June 5, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min

Our friends Marty and Alan at the Heavy Metallurgy podcast challenged us to a duel, and we fire back. The idea was simple: Offer five different albums, any genre, to cover on an episode. Of their five, we chose the only non-metal album…

April 28, 2026 · 1 hr 12 min

As noted early in this episode: we’ve always wanted to do an episode focusing on King Crimson, but couldn’t figure out the right approach. Until this idea, where we dissect and decipher all five parts of the band’s “Larks’ Tongues in…
Episode 143 – Comecon 1992-1995: Frogs, Worms, Anacondas

April 6, 2026 · 1 hr 14 min

No other band with roots in Swedish death metal did it like Comecon. Not even close. We find a few similarities to Carbonized, but generally, this band is unique, special, and underappreciated enough that we had to come to their rescue for…
