That's Not Metal

Nothing but covers this week as we review the new Benji Skindred, Inter Arma, Thou and 2 Minutes to Late Night and do Metallica's Garage Inc as Album Club. There's also laughs aplenty with news and the best mailbag in forever. Good work, gang!

I'm not even writing a description this week because Mini Milks - Beez

Just Beez and Perran this week as they discuss hot off the press new BMTH, whether the world is ready to pay for streamed concert events and what is the most metal logo in sports in your letters. We catch up on some of the year's best albums we haven't covered from Sepultura, Drain and Ulcerate and Killswitch offshoot Times Of Grace are the subject of this week's Album Club.

The TNM crew dissect new music from Machine Head, Creeper and The Dirty Nil, they go deep on the new Lamb of God, Mrs Piss and Justice For The Damned albums, there's a celebration of 20 years of White Pony and all the usual japes.

A serious first 20 mins about race, The Ghost Inside and what the past 2 weeks have meant for the alternative community. We then shift gears to chat about the best live collaborations we've ever seen, review the new albums from Run The Jewels, END and Album Club is on The Pixies' debut, Surfer Rosa.

TNM is a riot this week as we rejoice that Mastodon will have music in the new Bill And Ted movie and Rob Halford has an autobiography coming, we review new albums from Bleed From Within and Gold Key, the new Behemoth EP and Cypress Hill's Black Sunday is this week's Album Club.

It's a ridiculously fun show as the lads discuss new Idles and Jamie Lenman, the future of Bullet For My Valentine, your questions bring some spectacular nonsense about cover songs and Covid swimming pools and we bring you great underground releases from Dool, Slowbleed, Jeff Rosenstock and Rule Them All.

Matt Bellamy and Maynard James Keenan get weird, Chelsea Wolfe has a spectacular new band, we pick who we’d like to get a The Last Dance style documentary, there’s reviews of the new albums from Asking Alexandria and Paradise Lost and our Album Club is on the much overlooked Anthrax classic, We’ve Come For you All.

We discuss who would headline an all British Download festival in your questions, there’s chat on album delays and reviews of the new Hayley Williams, Combos and Malevolence releases and our Album Club is on Cancer Bats’ devastating Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones.

There's a bumper mailbag including an essential guide to getting to grips with bands with big back catalogues, we review the new albums from The Used, Boston Manor, Umbra Vitae and Havok and our Album Club is on Skindred's 2011 slammer, Union Black.
