Folks, we’ve got a very different show for you today. Our resident old school scholar Ian stepped in to interview the Queen of Heavy Metal, Doro Pesch! We’re keeping it brief – all killer, no filler. Ian and Doro discuss playing drive-in shows and headbanging cars, uptight 80s parents, recording with Warlock vs recording albums now, and… wait for it… Dungeons and Dragons. It is a genuine joy to hear Doro’s incredible energy as she shares her tales from a lifetime in heavy metal. Big ol thank you’s to Ian and Doro for putting this one together. It’s a good one. You can get Doro’s latest record, Forever Warriors, Warriors United over at Nuclear Blast. On November 13th, 2020, Doro released her long-awaited best-of album Magic Diamonds – Best Of Rock, Ballads & Rare Treasures through her own label Rare Diamonds Productions. Featuring 56 songs on three CDs, the album features an all-around impressive showcase that spans four decades of Doro music, and with 20 rock songs, 18 ballads, and 18 rare treasures, and more.

The election’s over and lord willing you won’t ever have to think about it again. To commemorate the event, let’s remember some musicians that threw their whole careers into a bottomless pit by tying their brand to a loser like Donald Trump. We’re also talking about System of a Down, my total inability to understand global conflicts, and a Hampton Institute take down of heavy metal millionaires pretending to be working class guys just like you and me. Finally, we get to have a fun chat about Season of Mist and how criticizing their French asses is CANCEL CULTURE. It’s a fun one. Come have fun with us.

Happy Wednesday folks. As of 9 AM today no one knows anything, same as it was when we recorded this show last Sunday with our predictions for today. We wrapped up the Halloween Spooktacular last week and the entire time we were enjoying those sweet, sweet horror movies there were two stories tucked in our minds that we were aching to talk about. First up: the quest to crowdfund $33K to restore Vinnie Paul’s piece of shit limo. We got a little heated on this topic so I would like to remind you that this show is a work of parody and is not actionable. Then: we discussed the full fash transition of Five Finger Death Punch. Again, nothing within this week’s show is actionable. There’s a lotta laffs on this one and absolutely nothing that any one of us could ever get in trouble for. It’s a good ‘un.

On this, the final non-Patreon episode of the Halloween Spooktacular, I’m joined by Will Jameson (ex-Redbait, current Barren Branches, Wretched Empires) and Forest Bohrer of Adzes to talk about the pair’s extremely dope Tom Petty cover. Oh and we’re talking an extremely dank 2018 Indonesian horror movie called May the Devil Take You. If you’d like to get caught up before joining us, the movie is streaming on Netflix. For the rest of you, tune in and hear us talk about a full-on Sam Raimi-worshipping, blood-vomiting, fingernail-ripping, jump scaring, rooting AND tooting horror film. We’re talking about the rules of making a deal with the devil, when to get out the dang house, and what we think Chekov’s Gun is. Bonus: If you dig this movie, the sequel is out THIS WEEK.

We’re watching a surprisingly stylish 80’s flick stuck firmly in the 70s. This week, it’s mob-money-laundered 1983 possession horror gem Mausoleum! We’re joined by Real Queen of Horror, Zena Dixon, host of the Bloody Disgusting Podcast to talk the swarthy perverts, stylish yuppies, and head-exploding practical effects of Mausoleum. In addition to the gooey details, we discuss Marjoe Gortner, a formerly-4-year-old Pentecostal preacher who left his churchy ways to star in weird shit like Mausoleum. Also: LaWanda Page, extremely blue comic and Sanford and Son actress who has a scene-stealing performance in this movie. It’s a good one, folks.

Making his triumphant hat trick appearance, The Black Dahlia Murder’s Trevor Strnad made us watch a depraved Italian flick for our continuing Halloween Spooktacular. Beyond the Darkness (a.k.a Buio Omega) is a Goblin-scored 1979 horror movie that, to quote Trevor, “Sucks!” That’s ok, we’re gonna keep watching garbage anyway. Join us as we talk nonsense plot points, unnecessary gore scenes, and plot points involving embalming that leave us all perplexed. Additionally, we talk about knuckledragging death metal, his band’s changing production ethos, and a mom hiring him on Cameo to scold a bad son. It’s a good one, folks. Btw, Trevor’s gaming Twitch stream will return soon. Follow him on Twitter to see get the latest. Next week: We’ve got a very special episode for you. Wanna be prepared?

Welcome to the first show of our star-spangled Halloween Spooktacular. We’re joined by Doktor Ross Sewage of Exhumed to talk about dead presidents, G.I. Joe, Ghoul artwork, and Frankenstein’s Army. This week we all watched the 2013 found-footage horror film Frankenstein’s Army and were honestly blown away by a movie NONE of us were excited to watch. It’s on Shudder right now so if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend going and watching that shit right now, then come back and hear us break it down. Ross fills us in with the making-of details as we talk about a doomed Soviet battalion investigating a mysterious distress signal from the coolest abandoned mine in the Czech Republic. I cannot stress this enough: Watch this movie. In addition to being chock-filled with insane practical effects and buckets of goo, it presents a more accurate depiction of WWII than your average film. It’s a GWAR stage show come to live in video game form. I loved this movie and you will too. Get the Ghoul comic book here, and find Exhumed hot sauce here. NEXT WEEK: We’re joined by Trevor from TBDM for his triumphant third show to talk about Beyond the Darkness (A.K.A. Buio Omega) which is available on YouTube right now. Tell me how much you loved Frankenstein’s Army in the comments below and get ready for an absolutely killer episode next week.

This week your boys discussed the new Deftones album and all the strange events of American youth culture that led us to this point. We’re getting into he TRL wars of the late 90s, the endless desire for a 7-string guitar, and the cultural battle over the name Nü. It all leads us to the standard bearers for modern nü metal, Five Finger Death Punch, and the modern fascist mindset. Zoltan Bathory suggests that the only reason you’re alive today is because your ancestors committed acts of incredible violence. We… disagree. And in even-older person news, we’re checking out Van Morrison’s COVID anthem and how it all connects to shadowy government plots to promote terrible music. Also, we agree with an Ozzy conspiracy. Put on your tinfoil hat because we’re going in on this one.

This is kind of a strange one but I’m feeling kinda strange so maybe it works. We lost a legend yesterday with Riley Gale’s untimely death. Unfortunately, we recorded this episode before his passing so this episode is mostly things we find amusing. On next week’s episode we’ll pay proper tribute. For this week, we’re talking about: Sturgis Rally 2020: UPDATES / Being Jesus Aged / Limp Bizkit: Origins / Every band was a boy band in the 90s-2000s.

This week your boys are examining the superspreader event of the summer: Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2020. We’re looking at a cavalcade of washed up has-beens, never-beens, and fuckin’ Fozzy. Eat shit, Chris Jericho. We’re also in stitches with the Satanic Warmaster furry’s plea for social justice in the wake of Metal Archives accurately describing his label as “NSBM”. Finally, UADA wrote a novel about radical centrism and it is exhausting. Tune in for the laffs, stay for the graphic descriptions of bikers swinging in piles of their own sick. It’s a good one, folks. Music featured on this ‘sode: Bear Mace – Hibernation – Destroyed by Bears Have something you wanna say to us?

Your three main boys are taking the week off from our dumb bullshit. Instead, you get to listen to a damn fine interview with Portuguese heavyweights Moonspell! Toilet ov Hell reporter Ian stepped in to talk with Moonspell vocalist Fernando Ribeiro on the occasion of the re-release of their 1999 hit record The Butterfly Effect. The two discuss the effect of COVID on the band and taking some time to reflect on the things that really matter in life. They’re also talking maintaining a degree of privacy in a world of endless streaming possibilities, focusing on writing the best record they can, the rationale for releasing older material for younger audiences, Y2K, and recording in the early days vs. recording with a digital setup. Fernando takes us through the band’s live setup and the decisions they make regarding props, sets, and all the outlandish live production that goes into putting on a professional metal show. This is a damn fine interview and we hope you dig it! Music featured on this ‘sode: Moonspell – Angelizer Have something you wanna say to us?

Our buddy Stockhausen plays bass in OKC metal band Dischordia. He’s also a public school teacher. He joins us today to talk about the wild ass shit our nation’s teachers are facing as school resumes in a couple of weeks. Underfunded schools, hungry kids, a deadly pandemic, and a federal government dead set on killing public education. But it’s not all doom n’ gloom. We’re also talking about beer in Oklahoma, nu metal bands writing diss tracks, terrible advice from shady industry people, joining the Demon Hunter street team, touring against conventional wisdom, Linkin Park wasting a ton of money in the studio, new Dischordia material, using non-metal instruments to write metal, and getting a PhD in noise music.

We’re joined by longtime Toileteer Simon Phoenix to talk trad metal, thrash, and trashy rock n roll. Sit down for a spell because we went all over the place on this episode. From a discussion on the finer points of trad, we ended up talking about our favorite forgotten UPN shows, people being mean as fuck to customer service workers FOR NO GODDAMN REASON, Kirk Cameron, and racist ass cops. There’s a lotta good music and a lotta good talkin’. In other words, It’s a Good One.
