Radio Toilet ov Hell

This week on Toilet Radio: We’re watching Penelope Spheeris’ landmark documentary, The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. Ozzy, Lemmy, Dave, KISS, Aerosmith, W.A.S.P. and a shit ton of has-beens and never-were’s are featured in the greatest metal documentary of all time. We’re talking about the misogyny, drug abuse, lust, wrath, envy, sloth, and gluttony of all the hair metal goons featured within. We discuss the delightful details of the documentary and present a Where Are They Now? of some of the funnier critters from this film. Some went to prison! Most went to Armored Saint.

FEATURED: Linkin Park used to be Xero (sans Chester) / Dredg used to be nu metal as FUCK before going sensitive / Pantera was writing songs with the same lyrical themes back when they were glam / Before there was Type O Negative, before there was Carnivore, there was FALLOUT and it kinda sounded like DEVO / Bad Religion’s ill-fated flirtation with prog rock / Semargl goes from forgettable blackened death metal to unforgettably bad electropop / Avatar used to be Gothenburgcore before going Ladiesandgentlemenwave / Sentenced went from killer slow death metal to sultry jammies / Amorphis and Paradise Lost discover keyboards and Matchbox 20, respectively / The Baroness and Mastodon demos show clear signs of where each of these bands would go / Ulver‘s long transition from black metal to synthpop / Carcass started as a grindcore band before inventing like four different genres of metal / Gojira‘s original demo recorded when the band were teens is extremely fucking rad.

This week, on a very special episode of Toilet Radio, we’re joined by Josh of Uzkost to talk all things Christian metal. Last week, as you may recall, we watched Metal Missionaries to learn about Christian metal. Josh happened to join one of the bands featured in that documentary and tells us the tale of “the worst musical experience of [his] life” playing shows with Grave Robber on tour. We also talk about new music coming from Uzkost and discuss the origin of so much misogyny, the story of Eve. We also talk about Josh’s childhood playing 150 shows a year in a Christian rock n’ roll band and watch the sequel to last week’s documentary – True American Black Metal – a documentary that doesn’t really focus on American or black metal bands. Puzzling. Finally, Josh gives us some suggestions for Christian metal that doesn’t suck (I’m currently listening to Tourniquet per his recommendation – it’s rockin’). This is a killer episode, folks. Wanna help? You can learn more about Josh’s work with Community Care & Resistance in Pittsburgh right here.
