Metal Robot Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-10-22) For the 60th edition of the show, our good friend Collin Sterling of Thrashers Paradise has joined us for another mega-sode. Last episode we featured a college assignment of mine featuring Collin on Thrasher’s 5 year anniversary. Now he’s returned to get more in depth, including a surprise he’s got for this Christmas. We catch up on the biggest and dumbest stories in the metal world since last year, including Linkin Park, Cannibal Corpse, Gojira, among others.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-10-16) On this episode, we talk “HARDSTONES” the latest album from Finish guitar legend Euge Valovirta and what it was like working with so many other musicians to bring it to life. We learn what it means to thrash in paradise for 5 years with Collin Sterling, celebrating a major milestone for the Hamilton metal radio show. And we get a feel for some harsher (albeit nasty) stuff with Nasty Savage and Valletta releasing new music in the past couple weeks.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2023-12-06) In the latest Metal Robot Podcast, we kick off with Bandcamp shout-outs and reviews. We talk with Ontario thrasher Baffald with their new album “Fuk Off 2020” and the thrash scene in the 90s. We look into why the hell we still care about the Grammys and encourage other forms of metal award entertainment, and we wrap up the show with Blackbriar part 2 talking about ‘A Dark Euphony’ and what’s to follow.

The Metal Robot Podcast (2023-10-28) Augurium returns to talk ‘Unearthly Will’ and why this one was different from the previous. We’ll also be joined by singer/songwriter Ronnie Romero, cause he just dropped a new album that’s a huge moment for his career. Why is that? He’ll tell us more. What metal musicians can learn from Taylor Swift… yes, really… and some new albums from the week’s latest releases.
