Matt & Chris dive into taboo topics that many avoid, especially with the rising trend of identity politics in music. In this episode, the guys tackle a provocative question: Matt & Chris dive into taboo topics that many avoid, especially with the rising trend of identity politics in music. In this episode, the guys tackle a provocative question: Has heavy metal become overrepresented with female vocalists? This genre, traditionally marketed to men, has seen a shift that raises eyebrows. Matt and Chris express their appreciation for female vocals in rock and metal but also discuss the backlash when expressing personal musical preferences. The conversation also challenges the idea that criticism of female-fronted bands automatically makes someone sexist. Chris even shares a clip from his interview with Sophie Lloyd, a talented female guitarist, who talks about how it’s okay for men to comment on female musicians’ appearances while still respecting their talents. The episode uncovers the hypocrisy of those who try to silence open discussions on these issues. If you're ready for a thought-provoking conversation that pushes boundaries, this episode is for you. But if you're sensitive to topics involving identity politics and division in music, you might want to skip ahead.

On this episode of Afterhocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris dive deep into the legendary career of Geezer Butler, the iconic bassist best known for his work with Black Sabbath. They focus particularly on his 1995 debut album with his solo project GZR, Plastic Planet.

The album, which blends heavy metal with industrial and electronic elements, is often regarded as an underrated gem of the 90s. Matt and Chris explore the unique lineup of the band at the time, which included ex-Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell, whose distinct voice added a powerful dimension to the album's sound. Alongside them was the incredibly talented drummer Deen Castronovo, who would later go on to play in bands like Journey and Bad English, but here demonstrates his hard-hitting, dynamic style.

The episode delves into the creative process behind Plastic Planet, which was shaped by the collaboration of these incredible musicians and Geezer Butler's own vision. The album’s blend of heavy riffs, industrial noise, and darker lyrical themes stands in stark contrast to much of the music being produced in the mid-90s, making it an important and often overlooked release for metal fans.

Matt and Chris discuss how Plastic Planet captures a different side of Geezer Butler, one that moves away from the traditional Black Sabbath sound and embraces a more modern, experimental approach. They highlight standout tracks, the album’s atmosphere, and the innovative production choices that helped the album resonate within the metal community—despite not receiving mainstream attention.

Whether you're a longtime Black Sabbath fan or a newer listener to Butler’s solo work, this episode is a great deep dive into a forgotten classic that has only grown in significance over time.

In this episode of Aftershocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris dive into the ongoing debate about nu metal. The genre exploded in the late '90s, but was it truly a unique musical style or simply a product of its time?

Was nu metal just a flash in the pan, or did it leave a lasting imprint on the music industry? The hosts analyze whether nu metal was defined by its unique sound or the cultural moment it represented.

Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion about the legacy of nu metal. Does it still hold up today, or has it become more of a nostalgic trend? Tune in to hear both sides of the debate and get a closer look at what nu metal really means in the modern era.

On this episode of Aftershocks TV's VINTAGE STANDARD, Matt, Chris, and Tom dive deep into Sammy Hagar's 1984 album VOA, exploring how it marked a pivotal moment in Hagar's career and solidified his place as a major figure in rock music.

They discuss the album's creation, its standout tracks, and the impact it had not only on Hagar's solo career but also on his eventual role as the frontman of Van Halen.

They start by discussing the recent cancellation of the Sick New World Festival, breaking down the reasons behind the decision, and examining what it means for the festival scene, especially in the wake of growing fan interest in retro events and lineups.

They analyze the cultural and musical landscape of the 1990s, debating whether it has the same long-lasting appeal as the decades that came before it.

In this episode of Aftershocks TV, Matt & Chris dive deep into the chaotic career of Pentagram's frontman, Bobby Liebling. With the release of Pentagram’s latest album, 'Lightning In A Bottle', the guys take a hard look at the controversial figure behind the music. They’re not afraid to ask the tough questions about Liebling’s past, like why the rock and metal media seem to ignore his 2017 arrest for assaulting his 86-year-old mother.

It’s a puzzling case. Why do some musicians get away with major transgressions, while others are persecuted for far lesser offenses? Matt and Chris get into the messy details, examining the odd double standards that seem to exist when it comes to celebrity accountability. Buckle up, because this episode is one wild ride through the highs, lows, and head-scratching moments of rock ‘n’ roll history.
