Department of Metal Antiquities 139: "Beautiful Disease" by Duff McKagan

In the greatest heavy metal cartoon of all time, Murderface referred to himself as the Lead Songwriter for Dethklok. 

Honestly, how often is that kind of thing really true? 

Well, today's album is what happens when the bassist of a band fully takes on a Lead Songwriting role. Now, as this is truly on brand, this might be the most forgotten album we have ever covered, because it was only released on an advanced copy for reviews and radio play. 

There has never been a commercial release.

Department of Metal Antiquties 134: "Carcass Cuntry" by Jeff Walker and Die Fluffers

 

Before the reformation of Carcass, there was a project that brought together many different metal musicians. Jeff Walker seemed to call his entire roladex of metallers. Including members of Napalm Death, Him, other members of Carcass, Cradle of Filth, Anathema, and Faith No More!

So, when you have this esteemed group of players from legendary metal bands, he did exactly what everybody would have wanted, he released a covers album of classic country and Americana songs.

Who asked for this?

Join Nik and Duncan to see if you should be.
