Show Notes
Before the internet, streaming, and YouTube, MTV’s Headbangers Ball was debatably the most wide-spread source for bringing heavy and extreme metal into our homes. Hosted by Riki Rachtman, the show introduced a generation to everything from the mainstream sounds of Metallica and Pantera to the extreme metal of Death, Cannibal Corpse, and Sepultura.
Please join us as we reminisce and debate the legacy of this iconic era. And as always, keep one foot in the gutter and one fist in the gold.

Today we revisit Episode 70 from January 31st, 2024. This was part of a larger episode on Record Collecting, but what we are republishing is a semi-exhaustive piece featured on Episode 70 about Napalm Death's classic and divisive track, "You Suffer." We gathered clips and comments from friends and luminaries in the scene, each one offering their thoughts on the song, interspersed with live versions and covers of the infamous one second song. See below for the breakdown of who and what you are hearing in this piece, in order of appearance.
This is the first in a new series we are calling Podcast Takeover. We hand the reins over to listeners and let them do the work. For this one, long time listener and yes, one of the Kyles, does a deep dive into film sampling in music. Kyle holds our hands as he explains plunderphonics, makes Sebastian happy by playing Buckethead, and showcases a wide and deep knowledge of both music and film.
In 2014 Jason Walton did the unthinkable by attempting to cover Bjork’s gorgeous and heartbreaking masterpiece “Bachelorette” off of her stunning 1997 album “Homogenic.” In this episode we listen to the original, and Self Spiller’s version and discuss them both.
A warrior and his sword. Fresh blood fell on the snow-covered hills. This is heavy metal—this is Unchained Vengeance.
Let’s go all the way back to Episode 10 from March 10, 2018.
