| Episode 111 - A Spotlight on Nothing’s “Drowning in Rain” | 15 Apr 2026 | 00:24:41 | |
In this episode, we listen to and discuss "Drowning in Rain," a 1998 single from Jason’s project, Nothing. We explore the recording process, the equipment used, and the personal context behind the song. We also reflect on whether the track stands the test of time and how this early work relates to Jason’s current projects. So join us for this look at some of his lesser-known work. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

| Episode 110 - Real Death and Violence in Music | 08 Apr 2026 | 01:11:45 | |
No, we don’t mean “Human” and “Eternal Nightmare.” We are raising a question regarding whether actual violence and death associated with music and art changes your perception of the artist and the work itself. Specifically, does Burzum sound different to you knowing Varg killed Euronymous? Can you still listen to Burzum? More broadly, how do the actions of artists affect your enjoyment of their art, whether positively or negatively? Ultimately, can you separate the art from the artist, and does Mayhem's music sound better to you given their history of violence. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

| Episode 102 - Soundtracks, Extreme Metal Literature, and the Mystery of Episode 101 | 17 Nov 2025 | 01:47:50 | |
We don’t know exactly what happened with Episode 101, but we share what we do know, explain the situation, theorize on why it happened, and cross our fingers it doesn’t happen again with this episode. We also dive into some listener emails, answer the latest 666 Degrees of Separation, as well as discuss our favorite movie soundtracks and extreme metal literature. Pro Tools rears its ugly head and crashes Nick’s system a couple times during this one, but we offset that bad news with listening to some killer tunes including a couple bands from Romania that we had never heard of before. In the absence of Marc Maron’s WTF, what the heck else are you going to listen to? @ihatemusicpodcast @fetud @bjork @robhalford

Ramin and I spoke far too long for one episode, so here is the first part of our discussion. We shared music, talked about growing up in a country where metal music is illegal, and also shared a beer or two. Bumper music by Mortiis.

It has been a while since we’ve delved into some listener emails, and since Hunter Ginn was in town for Agalloch rehearsals, we asked him to join us.

Andy Whale and Bolt Thrower defined a genre. Even in 2025 those names are said with reverence and massive respect. There is only one Bolt Thrower, and only one Andy Whale. However, Andy’s career did not stop with Bolt Thrower as he also played with Memoriam, Darkened, and DeathCollector. Now, Andy is creating electronic music, drumming for the fun of it, and enjoying family time. Join us as we discuss touring, the metal scene in Birmingham, The Grindcrusher tour, and Andy’s love/hate relationship with the drums. @mynameiswhale1964 @deathcollector_official @memoriamuk @darkeneddeathmetal

They are working on a new album and hitting the road hard.

| Episode 93 - Another Great Love Song | 14 Feb 2025 | 01:44:46 | |
Here at I Hate Music we love love. Today is Valentine's Day so maybe today we will even love music! Most musical genres are known, and perhaps even defined by, love songs. But what about metal? Are ballads the only type of song in metal that has the theme of romantic love? Do bands like Cannibal Corpse have love songs? What defines a love song? What are some great love songs? In this episode we dive into love in metal, love in music, some listener emails, and even listen to a love song or two. Don't pass the aux, that's old school. Sit down, shut up, listen - and if you have something to say to us, email us. We love you. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz. "I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 90 - Catching Up: The U.K., Concerts, News, and Listener Emails | 12 Dec 2024 | 01:55:26 | |
Sometimes life gets in the way. Nick was is in The U.K., Jason was busy doing whatever Jason does, so no new IHM episodes for a while. This episode is all about catching up. Sharing stories and comparing experiences. Nick tells us all about his travels overseas, and Jason talks about live performances he attended from Blood Incantation and I Am Morbid. There is more talk about A.I. and we delve into a slew of listener emails. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 89 - Metal, History, and Living Life to the Fullest with Alan Averill (Primordial, Dread Sovereign) | 11 Nov 2024 | 02:05:03 | |
Alan Averill is best known for being the vocalist and front man for Irish Metal legends Primordial, but he is also an engaging, fascinating, intelligent, politically minded, well-read, heavily tattooed bad-ass. Alan is a singular voice in metal, an anomaly in some ways. I Hate Music considers him to be one of the best front men in metal, and his voice, and his band, to be one of the most unique and underrated. With Alan we discuss the erasure of cultures, the significance of travel, the importance of heritage, and the obsessive nerdism that comes with being a lifer in the metal scene. We also dig into a listener email, and catch up on some current happenings.**Note: This was recorded before the American Presidential Election in 2024. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Artificial Intelligence.

| Episode 88 - Kicking the Bucket: Buckethead with Sebastian | 25 Oct 2024 | 01:56:11 | |
Buckethead has always been one of those artists that garners deep respect, and everyone knows he is a mysterious genius that prefers to lurk in the background, but until we met IHM mainstay Sebastian, we had never known anyone that would mention him when asked about favorite bands. Buckethead is a virtuoso, no doubt, and an artist that is not content to color within the lines. He is constantly pushing on boundaries and re-inventing himself. So, we decided to get a passionate Bucketbot on the podcast to share his enthusiasm and knowledge about the only guitarist who was born in a coop. Buckets up! --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz with special guest Sebastian."I Hate Music" theme by Sebastian.

| Episode 87 - Dare to be Stupid with Weird A.I. | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:45:26 | |
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a hot topic right now, especially within the arts. This episode does not take a stance either way on the issue, rather explores it's capabilities and power. We experience online A.I tools in real time and also discuss the positives, and the negatives, of artificial intelligence in the arts. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 86 - Catching Up with Bands We've Fallen Out of Touch With | 15 Oct 2024 | 01:19:53 | |
"I haven't listened to Sepultura since Roots." "I never bothered to check out any Tiamat after A Deeper Kind of Slumber." "What does Opeth sound like these days anyway?"These are comments we've been saying to ourselves and each other for a while, and we decided to remedy it. We check out newer material from bands we used to love that we just never kept up with. We listen to some clips and discuss.Of course there are some great listener emails this time around and we dive headlong into a FMK as well. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 84 - Catching Up: Agalloch in Australia, Listener Emails, Concerts, and Life in General | 04 Oct 2024 | 01:59:33 | |
It's been a while, so we caught up on life. Agalloch in Australia, MoonBladder mini-tour, Travellers Rest shows, Recording Academy Board meeting, concerts we've seen in the last month, and concerts we will see soon.We also spend a mighty section of this episode on listener emails. We've been getting lots of them, with lots of questions and comments, so we decided to dive in! There has also been some push back from listeners on bands we have mentioned we don't like. We address some of these and listen to some bands that we've never listened to before because of it in a sort of "Virgin Listen" section of this episode.We've never had an episode quite like this one, so join us, listen, then email us and complain. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 108 - The Chaos Wolverine: Revisiting Chaos A.D. and Wolverine Blues | 25 Mar 2026 | 01:21:15 | |
In this episode of I Hate Music, we revisit two extremely divisive albums: Sepultura’s "Chaos A.D." and Entombed’s "Wolverine Blues." Both were records we disliked upon their release and haven’t spent much time with since. We discuss whether it was even possible for these albums to follow their predecessors and how we feel about them now in retrospect. So grab your comic books, grow out your dreads, and join us for the conversation. -------------------- Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

| Episode 82 - Prong's "Beg to Differ" and Primus' "Frizzle Fry" ushering in the '90s with Hunter Ginn | 13 Sep 2024 | 01:20:27 | |
Hunter Ginn. Canvas Solaris, Plague Psalm, Agalloch, Dolven, Sculptured, Radical Research, Deserts of Hex.. what can this man not do? We decided to try and find out by inviting him to join us on IHM. Hunter wanted to discuss two albums that are very special to us; Primus' "Frizzle Fry" and Prong's "Beg to Differ." Both released in 1990, both helped usher in a new sound and new era for metal and alternative music. We delve into these records and related subjects.Of corpse, we also indulge in a few segments, and a few listener emails. So, call up Mike Browning and set the time machine to 1990, and join us. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz with special guest Hunter "Snack Doctor" Ginn."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 81 - Current Listening: Grimes, Bad Religion, Chappell Roan, Fulci, Undeath, and more... | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:26:38 | |
We've been getting some comments here and there over the last few months about how listeners miss the aspect of sharing music that we've been listening to that the old format had. When our friend Nick Loiacano texted me about it, I decided to do it. So, here we are, the first "Current Listening" episode! We discuss music we've been listening to, and we add it to the I Hate Music Spotify playlist. Grimes, Autopsy, 200 Stab Wounds, Lana Del Rey, Human Barbie, and much more is on the menu for today and we each play one song that has been hitting us hard.

| Episode 80 - Nerd Culture | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:56:32 | |
What is nerd culture, and how does it apply to music? In the '80's there was little worse than having a class mate call you a nerd, now they tend to be celebrated. Are nerds cool? How do bands like Weezer fit into this discussion? Is a nerd simply someone who is passionate about a subject, or does the word connote a myopic obsession that comes with side effects such as ignorance and social awkwardness? --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 79 - Gate Keeping: Pros and Cons | 24 Aug 2024 | 00:58:53 | |
Gate Keeping. Why is it bad, can it be good? Can we finally get along with the jocks? Not when they threatened me every day for wearing Sepultura shirts in High School and then changed their tune when "Roots" came out.. I mean, F**k those guys... but yeah.... Do we want people wearing hockey jerseys at Suffocation shows? What ever happened to the separation of sports and music? Isn't that in the constitution? Death Metal is MY thing, not yours... you've never heard "Symphonies of Sickness?" You weren't born when it came out? That's no excuse. Poser! Lots of gray areas here and lots of nuance.

| Episode 78 - Is Talent Real? | 12 Aug 2024 | 01:36:11 | |
"Talent" is a word that is used a lot in the arts, but does it discredit the years of hard work and dedication that people put into their craft? Does it discourage people to pursue their interests if they are not masterful immediately? It's a word that has been stuck in my throat for years, and a descriptor I have been hesitant to use for a long time. Does talent exist? Are people born naturally adept to be good at certain things? We discuss this and try to get to the bottom of our feelings on the subject.We also have some great listener emails, we do a couple of segments, and announce our new Patreon membership program as well as announce a fun new contest! As a side note, the IHM drinking game is now official. Every time we mention Gwar, Sebastian, or a Kyle, drink up! We encourage hydration, not inebriation, so alcohol is optional. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 77 - Examining the impact of Body Count's debut album | 24 Jun 2024 | 01:35:21 | |
For the unfamiliar, Body Count is lead by rapper Ice T, and their debut album stirred a lot of controversy in the early '90s. Most famously, the song "Cop Killer" landed the band in the public eye and garnered the scorn of the PMRC, the Police, and parents everywhere. Body Count married hip-hop and metal in a way that had never been done before and inspired generations of musicians to become more socially aware.We always have time for listener emails, a segment, and we also talk about Death and Death To All, a lot. So, join us in the I Hate Music drinking game, and take a sip every time we mention Gwar, or a Kyle, or Sebastian, and enjoy this episode. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

Why would I care about The Grammys? What the hell is The Recording Academy? What do they even do? Vinyl albums are made by little magicians and wizards, right? It's pure magic and no one knows how it's done, right?In this episode our good friend, and all around bad-ass, Amy Dragon joins us to discuss these topics and shed some light on these misunderstood subjects. We talk about attending The Grammys, how they can be important, and discuss the real-world good that The Recording Academy does outside of the awards show, helping musicians with healthcare, education, and networking. She also explains what she does for a living; vinyl pre-mastering. She gets a bit technical and explains how a record is made, from mix to final press.Amy also joins us for some listener emails, some segments, and we don't hear from any Kyles or mention Gwar once.

| Episode 73 - Food and Music with Alex Stupak | 18 Mar 2024 | 01:57:48 | |
From the About the Author section of Alex Stupak's "Tacos: Recipes and Provocations: A Cookbook." "Alex Stupak earned recognition as one of the world's most innovative pastry chefs while leading teams at progressive cuisine icons Clio, Alinea, and wd-50. But innovation only counts, he figured, if you push yourself out of your comfort zone, and so he left that world to cook Mexican food, a cuisine that captured his head and his heart. His restaurant Empellón Cocina earned him a James Beard nomination for Best New Restaurant in the country, and Food & Wine magazine named him a Best New Chef in 2013."Alex is also a metalhead. In this episode we speak with Alex about the parallels between food and music, and the similarities between creating both of these art forms. Alex tells us about his journey going from one of the world's most celebrated pastry chefs, to opening his first Mexican restaurant. We discuss the challenges of being a restaurateur, and the importance of pushing boundaries and pushing yourself. Of course we read some listener emails, do a couple of segments, and mention Gwar, yet again. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

Eddie, Vic Rattlehead, Snaggletooth, Korgull the Exterminator, The Not Man, Sargent D. -- what is the purpose of a mascot in music? What makes a mascot good, and what makes one bad? Why does it seem like mascots only appear in metal music?

We are back once again, this time to reminisce about metal fests we've attended, compare notes on fests we would like to attend, and look forward to fests we will attend in the future. What are our favorite festivals, and our favorite festival experiences? What makes a good festival and what lead to the popularity of fests in America and Europe? Which festivals are run the best, which ones have access to the best food? We talk about indoor versus outdoor festivals and share stories of our festival experiences at Roadburn, Northwest Terror Fest, Wacken, Milwaukee Metal Fest, Maryland Death Fest, Migration Fest, Party San, and more.As usual we do a couple of segments to wrap up the show, plead for listener emails, and beg for purchases on the webstore. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.

| Episode 70 - Record Collecting, and "We Suffer, but Why?" | 31 Jan 2024 | 01:19:02 | |
In this episode we dive into the complicated world of collecting, and of course, record collecting to be specific. Purchasing physical media from artists we love is very important to us, but how do you manage all of it financially and logistically? Where do you draw the line and when has it gone too far? We discuss, contemplate, and pontificate on the mechanics of being a die-hard music fan and record collector.Right after that, we tackle a few segments, read some listener email, and finish with a semi-exhaustive piece on Napalm Death's classic and divisive track, "You Suffer." We gathered clips and comments from friends and luminaries in the scene, each one offering their thoughts on the song, interspersed with live versions and covers of the infamous two second song. See below for the break down of who and what you are hearing in this piece, in order of appearance."We Suffer, but Why":Casey C-PNapalm Death Live (Unknown)Ione WaltonJohan J.J Jonasson "You Suffer" Orchestral CoverJon Rosenthal (Invisible Oranges and Decibel Magazine)Ione WaltonEllory WaltonNapalm Death Live (Unknown)Napalm Death Live (Unknown)Napalm Death Live on 1989's "What's That Noise?"

| Episode 69 - Dungeon Synth with Mortiis | 18 Jan 2024 | 02:09:40 | |
Mortiis has been an outlier and a legend in dark music for decades. From being an original member of Norwegian Black Metal band Emperor, to his solo work as Mortiis, to the suicidal ambience of Vond, Mortiis has often been misunderstood, yet he has blazed his own path with no regard for trend or what could be deemed successful. Now, decades later, the genre Mortiis arguably created has had an explosion in popularity worldwide. In this episode we welcome Mortiis into our own dungeon to discuss Dungeon Synth past and present, his time in Emperor, gear, and his writing process.We also welcome Jori Apedaile of Eneferens as he joins us as a third host and helps us tackle listener Emails about download codes, meeting our musical heroes, as well as helping us keep track of all the damn people named Kyle that write in. The three of us attack another "FMK," a "T-Shirt of the Day," and of course a "Let's Stump Nick (and Jori)." --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.

| Episode 68 - Best of 2023 and the Fight Against Evangelists in the ’80s and ’90s | 20 Dec 2023 | 02:09:57 | |
We are fighting the Christmas spirit this year by discussing the trend of Metal bands writing about money-grubbing, lying, megachurch owning evangelists in the '80s and '90s such as the infamous battle between Deicide's Glen Benton and Christian Talk Show Host Bob Larson. We also share our favorite albums from 2023, including picks from Spirit Possession, Frozen Soul, Phobocosm, Blood Incantation, Xysma, and more. Listener emails bring us back to discussing Gwar again, discovering the New Mexico Metal scene, and we get another email from that one dude, Kyle. You'll also find a few segments at the end to round out the evening. --------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.
