Episode 134 - KGLT Bozeman, MT - 04/26/1993 - Interview with Jason Walton Part 03
Welcome to the third and final installment of our trip down memory lane, featuring Jason Walton’s 1993 KGLT Radio interview from the height of the death metal era. While 1993 was arguably the best year for death metal, this show covers a wide range of music. We discuss and listen to The Dead Milkmen, play tracks from Carcass, Celtic Frost, and Disincarnate, feature some hip-hop and punk, and take calls from listeners. Fire up Mike Browning’s time machine once again, and take a trip back with us to Bozeman in 1993. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 133 - Fire in the Mountains and Listener Emails
East Glacier, Montana. Fire in the Mountains. What a glorious experience and amazing festival. Jason tells us all about it, from Agalloch performing “Ashes Against the Grain” in its entirety, to Enslaved, Sigh, Borknagar, swimming in the glacier-fed lake, and reconnecting with his homeland, Jason goes on and on about how fabulous this experience was. After sharing those festival highlights, we dive into plenty of listener emails. Listeners chimed in on previous topics like Workout Metal, John Bush in Anthrax, and Sepultura without the Cavaleras, as well as stories about running into heroes and celebrities. So, as Deicide says, “Join us!” -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 128 - KGLT Bozeman, MT - 04/26/1993 - Interview with Jason Walton Part 01
We recently unearthed two cassettes from our archives containing a live recording of an interview on Bozeman, Montana’s KGLT radio show at Montana State University. Recorded live on April 26th, 1993, this show took place mere months before Jason graduated from high school and moved to Minneapolis to continue playing death metal. During the broadcast, the host, Bob Kleinjan, and Jason played music, discussed death metal, and promoted an upcoming festival in Bozeman, which marked the final performance of Jason’s high school band, V.B.G. We invite you to take this trip back in time with us. Please enjoy the old local commercials, brand new tunes from 1993, and this glimpse into the past. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 126 - Headbangers Ball
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. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 125 - Examining Andy Winter’s “Uncountably Infinite”
Today we decided to delve into an obscure track from Andy Winter, the Norwegian musician known for his work with Winds, Age of Silence, and Sculptured. Following his 2013 solo record, Incomprehensible, he released a digital single in 2014 titled "Uncountably Infinite." This track features a notable lineup including Andy Winter, Hellhammer (Mayhem), Mirai Kawashima (Sigh), and Jason Walton of this podcast. Additionally, Don Anderson from Agalloch contributed a guest solo. Although the song has remained largely unrecognized, unknown, and unheard, we wanted to unearth it for discussion. Despite its strange nature, it features some truly intoxicating grooves that are worth exploring. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 119 - Meeting Your Heroes: When Nick Met Steve Harris of Iron Maiden
Meeting your heroes can be a mixed bag. While it offers an invaluable chance to connect with someone you admire, it also carries the risk of damaging your perception of them and their work.

We also share the story of when Nick unexpectedly met Steve Harris of Iron Maiden in London. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

Episode 118 - Bands Who Don’t Sing in Their Native Language
Why do bands choose to sing in their native language when it might limit their worldwide appeal? Is it a matter of authenticity, nationalism, or pride? Furthermore, why are many listeners hesitant to engage with lyrics in a language they don't understand, and why was Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance so controversial? Join us as we discuss these topics and listen to Jason get irrationally mad about the appropriation of metal by those outside the community. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.
