Episode 99 - WWF's Forceable Entry19 Mar 202301:26:58

We're going through the theme songs that the album art claims 'rock'. But do they all rock? Did the wrestlers look cool and tough walking out to these tunes? I actually have no idea but two people who love wrestling, Psychonaut and Josh are able to guide me through it. The history, the impressions, the context, the blading, the motorbike noises. This episode is for hardcore wrestling fans and total WWF noobs like me. Live, laugh, learn, suplex.

Episode 98 - Far - Tin Cans With Strings To You with r/numetal12 Mar 202301:06:57

Finally an album by an artist that brings me absolute joy and isn't an aural onslaught. We're talking Far and in particular, their album from 1996 Tin Cans With Strings To You. This record was suggested by this week's guest, the moderator from r/numetal. When they agreed to be on the podcast, I figured they'd suggest Darwin's Waiting Room or 311 but I was legit shocked when they said Far - a band I have loved for ages with a singer, Jonah Mantranga who seems to epitomise the DIY spirit.  But anyway, we do enough gushing on the episode.

Episode 84 - Primus - Brown Album25 Sep 202200:48:47

A very brown cover for a brown sounding album. Talking Primus and their LP, Brown Album on this week's podcast with special guest Roxy who had the very difficult job of introducing me to the magical world of Les Claypool and band because I have never really listened to them before. I'm not a slap bass guy and I knew that Les is a creative force of nature so stepping into all the lore and cheese references felt overwhelming. Which album to start with? What do I need to know before listening?

A special thanks to Roxy for joining the podcast and sharing tales of what it is like to DJ Primus at a nightclub in Darwin and an even bigger shoutout to the Motorola G30 Power. 

Episode 83 - Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com18 Sep 202200:52:39

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation might not have won an Academy Award, but it did give us an incredible soundtrack and sitting right on Track 5 was Pitchshifter with their song, Genius taken from their 1998 album, www.pitchshifter.com. This album is pure punk rock guitars over drum machines with glitched out politically charged vocals so it is easy to see why their were hometown heroes in Nottingham but what isn't as easy to see if why their parting with Earache caused so much drama. Earache founder, Digby Pearson said "what a colossal waste of space that band turned out to be" - man, falling out of love can be rough. They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference but can the same be said when you have royalties, touring duties, song writing and recordings involved?

Episode 82 - United Kingdom Trip11 Sep 202200:59:47

I’m a high flying podcast deal maker who recently returned from a self-funded all expenses paid trip to the United Kingdom and we’re taking a break from dissecting Papa Roach lyrics to tell you about it. But it’s not all mile high-esque stories, at the end I’ll run through some listener mail, finally getting some insight on the nu-metal funeral held by Roadrunner Records AND there is a special super secret debut of a certain rap song for those who can endure til the end. Hodl.

Episode 81 - Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler04 Sep 202200:53:31

Yeah, we're doing a pop punk album and yeah, I am on the record as hating pop punk. Always have, always will...or is this the album that can bring me to the dark side? But to make sure it isn't a full pile on on the pop punk genre, we've brought in our dear friend, Monster Truck Marty - a devout Green Day, Blink 182 and Sum 41 fan who is here to argue for the band and give this episode some much needed balance.
Oh, in the chaos that was this episode I forgot to mention how much I hate this album cover. It isn't Creed's, Weathered bad, or Coal Chamber's, Chamber Music bad - but it is pretty goddamn bad.

If you had Humble Dolph Lundgren on your Bacio Bingo board this week, congratulations! Contact us on our Instagram for your prize. 

Episode 80 - D12 - Devil's Night28 Aug 202200:57:50

Do you think if Eminem didn’t bring D12 out, he would still have as much respect in the rap game as he has? Or does this add to his legacy? Do you think Bizarre's flow is terrible and is basically the hip hop equivalent of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Have you heard Proof's Searching for Jerry Garcia? Whatever your answers are to these questions, you should listen to this podcast. Then follow us on Instagram. Then sign up to our Patreon. Then buy all of our merchandise. Then drop in-jokes from the podcast at house parties to deafening silence. Then binge all of the old episode. Then base your personality around the podcast. Then move to our commune and discover a true spiritual awakening.

In a desperate effort to pay off our CD writer, we have released another episode with a big sponsor, so please support them.

Also, I know at the start I say this is episode 78 but we shuffled some things around to get the Johnathan Devoy episode out because it was so good and the world needed to hear his Disturbed story as soon as possible. 

Episode 79 - Jerk - When Pure is Defiled with Johnathan Devoy 21 Aug 202201:05:11

Easily one of the best interviews, I've ever done, I know you're going to enjoy this episode with Jerk singer, Johnathan Devoy as we discuss touring with Insane Clown Posse and Disturbed, why he hates the single 'I Hate People Like That', what Johnny Rotten thinks of the band and of course, being the drummer in Queen of the Damned and how itchy eyebrow stubble can be.

Honestly, this episode is so much fun. Johnathan brought the A grade stories and a real candidness to the podcast. 

Episode 78 - Segression - Smile with Chris Rand14 Aug 202200:59:11

I first saw Wollongong metal band, Segression all the way back in February, 2000 supporting an up and coming band out of Iowa called, Slipknot. I enjoyed their set, went and bought the album at Sanity and then started a soon to be award winning podcast that would eventually put me in touch with Chris Rand, the bassist and singer from Segression. Some people have said that Segression only started playing metal to have a member appear on Bacio Death Trip and whilst Chris and I don't get into that, we do talk about the ways in which Slipknot used to go about hiding their identities, performing karaoke with Zakk Wylde, singing Bleed with Soulfly at a Big Day Out, pre-workout (of course) and we do get into Smile - their third album which was released by Roadrunner Records (or was it?) back in 2000.

A must listen for any old school Australian metal fans!

Episode 77 - Sepultura - Roots07 Aug 202200:52:36

Sepultura. If it is good enough for Bjork, it’s good enough for you. What an amazing album. But is it the blueprint for nu-metal albums or is it an album full of free jams, tribe sounds and Ross Robinson energised endings?
We’ll take you through the recording of this album, the break up, the sneaky recording of their last show and gush over the world’s local metal man, Max Cavalera.

Episode 76 - Interview with Adam (Surfacing - Australian Slipknot Tribute)31 Jul 202200:39:40

The days of Slipknot playing small, intimate venues are well over. Thankfully, Australian Slipknot Tribute, Surfacing are bringing it to stages way too small for them and playing songs all through Slipknot's catalogue. Adam, the singer of Surfacing is on this week's pod to tell us about the cutthroat world of the Slipknot replica mask trade, lugging kegs and also his thoughts on Slipknot's newest single, The Dying Song (Time to Sing) which I stupidly call Time To Die because I'm nothing if not a consummate professional.

Episode 75 - The Mad Capsule Markets - OSC-DIS24 Jul 202200:56:50

You might think you haven’t heard The Mad Capsule Markets before, but if you played Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 then you have. Not me though. I dropped out after THPS2 so Mad Caps were new to me. I don’t even think I had seen their name written anywhere. Luckily, Psychonaut has been a fan for two decades now so he’ll guide us through the album.

They played Ozzfest, Download Fest, Fuji Rock, supported RATM and Fear Factory and those who love them absolutely love them so they are worth checking out.

If you’ve ever had Psycho Mantis creep up into your memory card or lost your mind to the Mortal Kombat theme, this is the episode for you.

So pop in and hear us talk about Japan’s very own, The Mad Capsule Markets.

Episode 97 - Ministry - Filth Pig with Nick Capper05 Mar 202301:06:10

Very lucky to be joined on this episode by comedian, Nick Capper to talk about Ministry's Filth Pig. An album written when Al Jourgensen when he had a $1,000 a day drug habit and recorded in a homemade studio in Texas full of stuff that was breaking down all the time.  “ It was mean; it was ugly. It was music to kill yourself to because that’s what I was trying to do." A brutal album discussed on a soon to be award winning podcast with a great Australian comedian.

Episode 74 - Silverchair - Diorama17 Jul 202200:55:34

Hi, I am a mid 30's Australian male and I have only just discovered how good Silverchair are. Well, in particular Neon Ballroom and this week's album, Diorama. Beautifully ambitious songs with imaginative orchestral scores underneath and a real sense of hope and optimism in the lyrics. Surely one of the few bands who found success, started wearing pork pie hats and actually got better!

We've tracked down an early member of the Llama Appreciation Society, the Silverchair fan club to hear what life was like as an early Silverchair fan and we play a very revealing game.

Enjoy! 

Episode 73 - Stone Sour - Self Titled10 Jul 202200:52:39

We’ve got an entertaining podcast for you today, all about Stone Sour’s self titled record. he band Corey Taylor and Jim Root were in before Slipknot. You know, the album that has Bother on it? Yeah, that song with the film clip that has Corey wearing a Spiderman ring. Banger of a track. But if that was your first taste of Stone Sour, how does the rest of the album sound? Is it full of acoustic ballads or does it have too many songs that sound like Slipknot-Lite?

We’ve got a great game for you as well so we hope you enjoy this episode!

Episode 72 - Interview with Jason Brown (Sunk Loto)03 Jul 202200:46:55

That's right! 15 years after their last show, Sunk Loto are back and have a bunch of upcoming shows and to celebrate this incredible news, I was lucky enough to chat with singer, Jason Brown all about the reformation, recording their first ep, pre-workout and future plans for the band.
These long form interviews aren't something we've done on this podcast before so hopefully you enjoy it!

Episode 71 - Guano Apes - Don't Give Me Names26 Jun 202200:55:55

Guano Apes are a really tricky band to learn anything about. They don't do many interviews, Western media seem to ignore them and the album that we're talking about isn't on Spotify in Australia and I refuse to get an Apple Music account. So we're very lucky that Ez from Spacegoat joins us for this episode as she is a certified hardcore Guano Apes fan and has been for over twenty years.

Don't worry, I still manage to find a way to rag on RHCP.

An incredibly fun and funny podcast episode for you this week!

Episode 70 - Chimaira - Pass Out of Existence19 Jun 202200:51:13

Chimaira found themselves on a pretty big record deal from Roadrunner Records and had to deliver a pretty big record and to our ears, they did. But were the Roadrunner boffins happy with it? Were they able to break through the Hatebreed ceiling? This album has a lot of fans and personally, I reckon it's one of those 'if you know, you know' albums that is probably a lot more influential than people might think. It mixes Slipknot riffs with elements of Deftones and Fear Factory and singer, Mark Hunter has even said that Mudvayne's Death Blooms was an inspiration. I'd argue this album is way more consistent than LD50 though. I wonder what Mr. Muse would say.

Episode 69 - Crazy Town - The Gift of Game12 Jun 202200:55:25

I promise that you wil not find a more mature conversation about Crazy Town anywhere else than on this week’s episode of the soon to be award winning podcast, Bacio Death Trip. You’ll also struggle to find a funkier episode as well.

We give a bit more context to the band, their hit single Butterfly and see what Mr. Muse thinks of the record.

Enjoy!

Episode 68 - Muse - Absolution05 Jun 202200:52:55

Grey goo may be piling up so stockpile your baked beans and axes and hunker down as we talk bout Muse and their big, ambitious third album, Absolution. Another album where the opening track is called Intro. The interlude is called Interlude. Height of creativity here. But Matt Bellamy can write a song. He can hit the high notes. He can shred and smash a guitar. In fact he set a Guinness World Record for smashing the most guitars in a year, that's edgy. But that's Muse. They march forward bravely into new frontiers, writing dangerous songs tackling concepts like Compliance and getting high on your own supply. 

Episode 67 - Drowning Pool - Sinner29 May 202200:57:02

Easily the most requested album we've had, it was great to learn more about much beloved frontman, Dave Williams but how does this album stack up? Without the WWF blasting their hit single, Bodies near 16 times a week, would that song be as ingrained in our memories? Or were Jagermeister right to sponsor the band, put them on Jagermeister tours and Jagermeister compilation CD's to help take them to a much bigger audience?

Episode 66 - Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe22 May 202200:54:17

An episode for the mud covered flower pot zombies this week as we talk Rob Zombie and his first solo record, Hellbilly Deluxe. Yup, the one with Dragula. A song that still slaps. Of course Rob's love of horror movies come up as well as the movies that the man himself has directed.
This album, and Mr. Zombie is totally in Psychonaut's wheelhouse. Industrial groove metal with hidden references to obscure horror movies from the 70s and video games like Twisted Metal 4 where you could play as Rob Zombie, hooning around in the Dragula from The Munsters.

I feel bad that we didn't mention that the great Joey Jordison played drums for Rob Zombie for a while but he did and you can read Rob's tribute to Joey here.

Episode 65 - Dry Kill Logic - The Darker Side of Nonsense15 May 202200:57:47

This episode is dedicated to all the former webmasters out there and we sincerely hope they take a break from finding a keygen for Microsoft FrontPage 98 and enjoy this episode on Dry Kill Logic's, The Darker Side of Nonsense. Is this a nu-metal classic? Is that even a good thing? Is there more on this record than first meets the eye? There must be, right? Because the numetal subreddit loves this album as do a bunch of Youtube commenters claiming this record is still in their regular rotation.

Also, where does The Dark Knight Rises rank in Batman movies? Like really, have a solid think about the massive plot holes. Are they forgivable?

Episode 96 - Funeral for a Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation26 Feb 202300:59:54

Name a better album for us to kick off season 3 with. Actually, don't. I've got things to do today. But you can think of them in your head - maybe think of an album where the drummer doesn't keep switching to halftime or end songs with a splash hit.
Regardless of what album we're talking about today, we hope you had a good break from us and are ready for some more insightful and witty podcasting from a soon to be Grammy award winning podcast.

Also, legally I am required to say that Gobshite Industries are not operating any shell companies and I strongly discourage anyone from looking into it any further. Thank you.

Episode 64 - American Head Charge - The War of Art08 May 202200:53:56

A lot of bands from the early 2000’s have people claiming they are underrated. Releasing albums before everyone had the internet in the home has meant that their records are harder to find and the footage on Youtube is low res but also releasing albums after the industry had started losing money to online file sharing. But American Head Charge, and in particular this album is underrated. I hope to see AHC come back into fashion one day the same way Nirvana has. American Head Charge’s Just So You Know playing over every scene of the next Batman movie. Their shirts sold in K-Mart. I want an American Head Charge revolution so everyone can be walking down the straight with A Violent Reaction in their headphones, banging into people Bittersweet Symphony style.

But this is the first step in this revolution - listening to this episode. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Episode 63 - Linkin Park - Reanimation01 May 202200:48:48

Maybe the official title is [Reanimation] but regardless, we're back at Linkin Park base camp discussing their second release, Reanimation. So many remixes, so little time. But how gutsy was it releasing this after the massive hit, Hybrid Theory or was this just a cynical cash grab to keep the money coming in?

You can check out our remix playlist here.
Dance along to Dj Big Rig's In The End remix.

Episode 62 - Cradle of Filth - Midian24 Apr 202200:57:18

We finally get onto Cradle of Filth and loved learning more about Dani Filth. Look, there isn't a heap of Midian chat. A bit, but not a whole heap. I was trying to do the Cradle fans justice and figure out what it is they love about this band. The lyrics, the artwork, the music, the fashion or a mix of all of the above?

A huge thanks to our sponsor this week. Couldn't have done it without them!

Episode 61 - Creed - Human Clay17 Apr 202200:53:09

Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to self-harm, domestic violence, addiction and mental health issues.

I've been crowned the podcast angel and my first decree is that we must analyse Human Clay's cover art, discuss why Creed are a tricky band to listen to and go deep on Scream 3. Find me a worse film clip than Creed's, What If? I dare ya. Double dog dare ya.
Creed were massive. They sold a lot of records. But how does this album hold up?

Also, don't worry horny Dads, we've got something special for you.

Love always,
BDT

Episode 60 - Ill Niño - Revolution Revolución10 Apr 202200:49:42

How does a band made from New Jersey hardcore musicians end up being a nu-metal band that is constantly referred to in the same sentence as Soulfly? Strap on your alcoholic mittens and listen along as we talk all things Ill Niño. From singing in a second language to writing on an acoustic guitar as well as getting Dr. Drums on the phone to find out if Ill Niño make good use of their extra percussion.
It's all happening on an action packed episode of your this week's Bacio Death Trip, or as the hip kids call us these days, 'BDT'.

As always, everything we have said on this episode comes with a blanket alleged.

Episode 59 - Tenacious D 03 Apr 202200:55:30

Brace yourself for some serious name dropping during our very own pick of destiny story as we talk Tenacious D's self-titled album. This album has a place in a lot of people's hearts and the metal community really embraced the 'D. They played just before Slipknot at Rock Am Ring just a few years ago to dudes in Arch Enemy shirts singing along and to pay full respect to the band and this album, we were lucky enough to find someone who spent New Year's Eve with Tenacious D many years ago, so listen up for the inside scoop that only a hard hitting podcast like Bacio Death Trip can provide.

If you listen to this podcast and don't follow us on Instagram, you should strongly consider it.

This episode is brought to you by the Ultimate DJ Battle Championships. Proud to have them on board supporting the show!

Episode 58 - P.O.D - The Fundamental Elements of Southtown27 Mar 202200:54:56

P.O.D landed on the scene in a big way with The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. Big, bouncy energy coupled with songs about Christianity and to celebrate it, we talk about tantric sex and WCW wrestlers. What more than you could want?
Oh, you want rap? Done.
A spiritual journey? Done.
Demon seed? Absolutely! 

Come listen to us talk about an album that 100% of Google users like and that 60% of DC Talk fans enjoy.

Episode 56 - Flaw - Through The Eyes13 Mar 202200:55:37

Podcasting is a brutal industry. You're only as strong as your listeners, unless of course you have some kind of podcast angel on your side. So when an incredible listener, Dustin actually used the Request an Album form on our website and suggested we do an episode on a beloved album of his, Flaw - Through The Eyes, of course we obliged. But what happens when one of the co-hosts can't stand the album? Our podcast style determines your listening style.

Personally, I don't mind this album. I've got a soft spot for floaty bands. The singer is a different story. You'll hear more in this episode!

If you're not folllowing the Bacio Death Trip Instagram, you're listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal. 


Episode 55 - Avril Lavigne - Let Go06 Mar 202200:51:41

We comb through the data and crunch the numbers to see if this album is indeed, pop-punk. Actually doesn't matter because this album is a banger and we'll be first in line to see the promised Sk8r Boi movie sometime this year to mark the 20th anniversary of this album launching and blowing up every radio and tv.

Avril grab taken from Billy D'Arcy's podcast, Get Around Me. Billy's podcast is pretty much my only source for cricket news.

Episode 54 - Murderdolls - Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls27 Feb 202200:55:43

This week we take on somewhat lovable horror-punk group Murderdolls. If you missed out on Famous Monsters era Misfits with Michele Graves, then Murderdolls were there for a young generation to experience the similar thrills and spills one would expect from a B-Movie loving bunch of punks. But how much Murderdolls were the Murderdolls and how much were they Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13?

So shave your eyebrows, cover White Wedding and jump on Wednesday 13's tour bus as we revisit this fun album.

Follow us on Instagram for some high quality memes.

Episode 94 - Mushroomhead - XX04 Dec 202200:55:56

Mushroomhead are a rough listen and I am glad that misery loves company because I am joined by the legends that are Martin and Steve from the Is It Dad Rock Yet? podcast. I threw the proverbial padlock at their ears this week so we could talk about Mushroomhead's masks, water drums, tempos and their feud with Slipknot. Try and find a podcast on Mushroomhead that doesn't mention that Slipknot fight! Can't be done.

Welcome to the Bwomp Cinematic Universe.

Episode 53 - At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command20 Feb 202200:58:05

If you aren’t listening to Relationship of Command, you’re listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal. You’re also not listening to enough Bacio Death Trip. No one is though. Put in the hours. Make it form your personality like some fedora wearing dude reading The Game. Start negging us as we peacock around and talk about a band that imploded 6 months after this amazing album came out.

Yes we talk about the Big Day Out walk off, the guitar work, scaring Robbie Williams on Later with Jools, the kick in the throat to nu-metal and as always, the world’s greatest character actor gets a mention.

It’s a good time to invest in Bacio Death Trip because one of us is really smart now.

Episode 52 - Downthesun13 Feb 202200:54:13

In the early 2000's, Roadrunner Records released so much music from a lot of bands you probably never heard of. Downthesun might be one of them but are they worth your time all these years later? I mean, they were championed and produced by Clown from Slipknot, so they can't be all bad, can they?

Plus, you'll finally get to hear if I would rather listen to Cold's, 13 Ways to Bleed Onstage or the Foo Fighters', There's Nothing Left to Lose. It's a real heart vs head moment. Difficult choices were made.

Great sponsor this week and a very fun game as well. 

Constantly grinding. Moving truthfully. Eyes open. Eyes shut. Always.

Episode 51 - Cold - 13 Ways To Bleed On Stage06 Feb 202200:50:39

I'm at a loss as to what to write here. I don't want to tease anything that happens on this episode except for the fact that it was really fun to record. Alright, you twisted my arm. I love Cold - well, the first two albums anyway. But that's all I'm going to say. If you have has as much fun listening to the episode as we did recording it, then that's awesome.
Please let us know what you think of the album! We'd honestly love to hear it - and don't forget to enter the Bacio Death Trip competition to go into the running to win a signed American history X script. Not sure who it is signed by, but it is 100% signed.

Episode 50 - Taproot - Gift30 Jan 202201:04:05

What a gift we have for you on our 50th episode extravaganza. We're talking about Taproot's, Gift.
Well, not just us. We are joined by Simon Russell-White, a man who flew the flag in Regional Victoria by wearing a homemade Taproot shirt - and people say we don't talk enough about fashion on the podcast. People say a lot of things about our podcast, mostly that we'd never make it to 50 episodes. But we're here to prove them wrong. Bask in excellent music journalism, soak yourself in some serious drum talk by Dr. Drums and don't worry that life sucks sometimes because it's always a party with Bacio Death Trip. 

Episode 49 - Roadrunner United - The All-Star Sessions23 Jan 202200:52:35

To celebrate the label turning 25, Roadrunner Records got a bunch of the musicians from their roster and said 'make us an album that is way too long' and the musicians said, 'yeah, awesome. Can we add some unnecessary guitar solos?' and the label was like, 'oh big time'. Luckily there were four heads steering the ship. Joey Jordison, Robb Flynn, Matt Heafy and Dino Cazares. Who would win? Music would win. And Roadrunner Records. They won a lot around this time and Nickelback helped them win but they weren't on this album. Why? We're not sure.

Got a great sponsor this week that makes Benjii happy as well as something to excite you for our big upcoming 50th episode. 

Episode 48 - Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing16 Jan 202200:55:08

A heavy album by a heavy band, but is it really heavy? Like, you know, heavy heavy? We try and figure out why we had a bit of a hard time connecting with an album that ushered in a new wave of metalcore and pushed nu-metal bands to the back of Roadrunner Records' minds. Those metalcore kids seemed to have more money for merch and a bigger budget for expensive jeans.

Also, there is a legit competition where all you have to do is show any kind of proof that you've told someone about the podcast. Screenshot a tweet, film yourself going up and saying 'Bacio Death Trip is a podcast' to a housemate, talk about us in sign language to a gorilla at the Zoo. Just email or Instagram DM or tweet at us and you'll be in the running for a very cool and very authentically purchased prize. Listen to the episode to hear what the prize is!

Also, we didn't bring this up on the episode but shouldn't this album title have a question mark at the end? Any English majors want to weigh in on this?

Here's a link to our Patreon. Only $35,000 a month gives you exclusive access to photos of my cat. Get on board. But please note that it's legit $35,000. That's a comma after the 35. 

Episode 47 - A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms09 Jan 202200:47:22

We’re kicking off our much anticipated second season with an amazing episode on our soon to be award winning podcast. Perhaps the most romantic album we’ve discussed, A Perfect Circle’s, Mer De Noms is an album I’ve loved since it first came out and all these years later, I’m still getting rollgasms listening to it.

There’s no better way to start Season 2 than by finding out what Rob Halford told the band or what role Wes Borland turned down.

If you loved season one, well you’re going to love season 2. We haven’t changed the format at all. It’s exactly what you know and love and if you hated season one, well the show is totally different now and very much improved.

Looking forward to a great year ahead with fresh takes on old albums.

$35K Club. Do or die.

Episode 46 - Rammstein - Mutter19 Dec 202100:56:01

Welcome to our Christmas extravaganza! We’re doing what most families do around the Christmas dinner and discussing Rammstein’s, Mutter. The almighty third album. The album that saw them stinking up water tanks, being birthed onto stages and singing about things that Hideo Kojima would later turn into video games.

So come and join in the holiday spirit as we talk about an epic album by an epic band.

Outro song by the fantastic, Majenta with a J. If this song isn’t on your Christmas playlist, you’re doing the holidays wrong.

Episode 45 - Will Haven - Carpe Diem12 Dec 202101:01:07

The line that seems to follow Will Haven is that they are ‘your favourite band’s favourite band’. Does this mean that they didn’t get the commercial success they deserved? It seems like those who are into WIll Haven, are really into Will Haven and for a lot of those people, Carpe Diem was the album they first heard. But we’ll talk about how touring with Slipknot influenced the song writing on this record as well as the importance of clubs such as Sacramento’s, Cattle Club that treated bands well, gave them a space to play and helped form a scene that fostered bands like Deftones, Far and of course, WIll Haven.
Speaking of Far, we were lucky enough to have an appearance by Jonah Matranga on the episode!

Shout out to all of those unsung heroes in our lives!

Love forever and ever,
Bacio Death Trip

Episode 44 - Deadsy - Commencement 05 Dec 202100:51:01

Sometimes on these write ups, I am deliberately vague as to my feelings on the album. It’s an unproven tactic to lure in listeners and continue our rise to the world’s most successful podcast.
But then long comes Deadsy. Or as I am calling them, the worst band I have heard. Legitimately - so bad. But why did members from Korn, Limp Bizkit and Static X like them? Were they ahead of their time? Like, so far ahead that the time this album will sound good hasn’t even arrived yet. Maybe this album is the soundtrack to climate change’s final punch. Maybe there is some sliding doors moment in my life where I like Deadsy. But it isn’t in 2021 and I hate to imagine a future where this album sounds anything but terrible.

Episode 92 - Neurotica and Smack Down Records20 Nov 202201:01:50

The links between the early 2000's nu-metal scene and wrestling are well known but did you know that WWE had their own record label but only released one non-wrestling title released? Well, that band was Neurotica. Fronted by Athiest's, Kelly Shaefer the band are now pretty hard to find anything about. The only real way to hear them is by finding a CD on eBay or tracks on Youtube, but luckily I'm joined by Josh (Circle Breaker and Hellion Child) who is a wrestling lifer and loves Neurotica. It's his comfort band. An auditory warm blanket.
So listen on in as we talk all things wrestling, Neurotica, Smack Down Records and NHL.

Episode 43 - (hed) p.e - Broke28 Nov 202100:51:53

A party album to put Andrew W.K to shame, (hed) p.e seemed to be at the forefront of combining hip hop with rock, vinyl samples with screaming and later in the band’s career, going on deep conspiracy filled rants well before Q began posting cryptic messages online.

But what about the lyrics? What about the way singer Gomes sings about women? Should that detract from the enjoyment of the album? We’ll be trying to navigate our way through that one as well as looking at some of the small things (hed) p.e add to their songs to give them a bit more life.

I mean, we talk about way more as well. There’s a solid Jamiroquai joke in there that I don’t think got the response it should have. There’s a good Gumball rally reference. We’ve got a return sponsor, there’s a game that you might need a paper and pen for. Actually, now that I think of it, this is another soon to be award winning episode from a soon to be award winning podcast.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses violence against women.

Episode 42 - Nickelback - Silver Side Up21 Nov 202100:51:45

Salli Anttonen dives way deeper than we ever could about the negative feedback Nickelback have received in a paper titled, 'Hypocritical bullshit performed through gritted teeth': Authenticity discourses in Nickelback's album reviews in Finnish media but we'll look at if that negative feedback is truly warranted or is it just dog pile bullying from an industry full of people who were dog pile bullied in high school.

The more I type, the more I am going to give away my feelings on this album and the band in general so just give it a listen and then us know if Kula World was a beachball or a red ball somehow connected to the Fido Dido universe.

But legit, we'd love to hear your feelings on Nickelback because for some reason people seem to have a take on this band. Very few people when asked can remain neutral. Hit us up on our Instagram or $35K website to get in touch. Or release an album and we'll get around to talking about it in 20 years.

Episode 41 - Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water14 Nov 202101:00:37

This podcast is dedicated to Ben Stiller.

We're returning to the scene of the crime and revisiting Limp Bizkit. But this time, we're going all in on Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. An album that produced so many big singles and sold so many copies, it almost doesn't matter that it is a pretty weak album that says almost nothing. Don't believe us? Well, we prove it with science on this episode.

Check out Mosher Mags on Instagram and on Depop.

Oh, and we've got merchandise now so you can get your very own Bacio Death Trip shirt. Head here to grab your BDT swag. We've made it as cheap as possible.

This episode contains Zoolander spoilers.

Episode 40 - Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile07 Nov 202101:00:09

The Fragile is an album that takes you along for the ride as Trent Reznor searches for who he really is after fame and money changed him for the worse. An incredible follow up to The Downward Spiral, The Fragile is an album that is so meticulously put together that it is understandable why it took 2 years to write and record. Also, there was this cool function on the DVD where you could control  the cameras, so that was very much appreciated after I'd just been stung by Slipknot's, Welcome to our Neighbourhood VHS. I'm still tempted to write to Consumer Affairs about that one.

Special shoutout to our sponsor this week, Chuck Baxter. Support him where you can.


Jamie Kennedy  for Scream 5 or we riot. Enjoy this episode as we ask some legit heavy questions and confuse Radiohead for Dry Oil Logic.

Oh, and there is an album request form if you really want us to talk about a certain album.
