In this episode, we definately talk about Coroner's 1988 album Punishment for Decadence, and definately don't spend most of the episode talking about anything but due to a total lack of attention span.
We finally did it, we're finally talking about Sleep Token, a few weeks before their new album is set to come out. And boy does Kayle have some thoughts about Take Me Back To Eden.
This week the fellas discuss the brand new album from Deafheaven, the fantastic Lonely People With Power!
It has truly been a while since we have listened to an album that has provoked this type of reaction from the boys, what exactly that reaction is, you'll have to listen to the album for. This week is Matando Gueros by LA's own Brujeria

The boys are barely keeping it together as the darkest month of the year grinds onward. Can they find some momentary respite with the beautiful work of Maine's own Falls of Rauros, specifically their 2011 album The Light That Dwells In Rotten Wood?
Content warning: Brief mention of sexual assault Black Metal January continues with an awkward but necessary conversation about why it can be difficult for two realtively lazy guys who don't do a ton of research to talk about notable bands that aren't also total pieces of shit. Somewhere in there they talk about Pentagram by Gorgoroth.

Back into it this Black Metal January with an overdue conversation about the latest epic from Panopticon, The Rime of Memory!
Oftentimes albums which would go on to become influential and formative works for entire genres have a certain spark to them that, in retrospect, seems obvious and apparent. You listen and can go "Oh, I understand how this became important to a lot of people." Even if the quality isn't great or the songwriting isn't as tight as it could be, that spark is there and you can feel it. This isn't one of those albums.

Baroness is a band that has always been somewhere on the periphery of our awareness, but after coming across this album at the record store recently, it was time to finally give them a listen!
If there's anything that we have learned, it's that there is no cultural or ethnic traditional music that cannot be fused in some form with metal to create something worthwhile.
Sometimes when you go to live in a cabin in the woods for a while, you write Walden. Sometimes, you write a kickass progressive death metal album. Joe Duplantier of Gojira did the second one.
For the last album of this Non-Metal month, the boys veer into punk territory to talk about Big Black's second (and final) album, the in-your-face Songs About Fucking.
This week, non-metal September continues with Kacey Musgrave's multi-grammy winning pop country album, the remakably low-key Golden Hour from 2018.
The Residents are the wierdest band in the history of music, and this album may have fried the boys brains. The only thing coherent about this episode, which is theoretically about the album Wormwood: Curious Stories from the Bible, is the blasphemey.
Non-Metal september is here, and we're kicking it off with an album we weren't able to squeeze into our last non-metal month in march, The Record by Indie supergroup Boygenius!
Before we get into a non-metal territory this September, it's time to give a listen to the classic debut self-titled album from System of a Down!
After five long years, Philedelphia Prog Death Metal masters Horrendous have finally blessed us with a new album, Ontological Mysterium, and by jove the boys are gonna give it a listen!
While topic of discussion tonight is theoretically Screams and Whispers, a quite good prog/thrash metal album from Anacrusis, Kayle spends quite a bit more time talking about Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Studios, Bloodborne by Fromsoftware, and Skyrim by Bethesda. Those are all games and studios, not metal albums.

The boys gather for a disjointed and sleepy discussion of Heathen's 2020 album Empire of the Blind as OJ recovers from a vacation and Kayle recovers from a wacky start-stop holiday weekend.

The boys delve into 2022's Decadent Perversity, the sophomore album from a band with one of the most vulgar names we've featured on the show.

Female February continues with the fellas giving Karmacode by Italy's Lacuna Coil a spin!
The second month of the year begins, which means it's Female February! To start things off, we go back to 2015 to listen to Hail Mary the last album from Louisiana's iwrestledabearonce, featuring future Spiritbox members Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer.
Continuing our un-intentional theme for this Black Metal January, this week's selection isn't quite exactly black metal, though frankly the boys hardly talk about it anyway. This week: Triarchy of the Lost Lovers by Rotting Christ.
It's black metal January, so you knew quite well we were gonna talk about a Panopticon album at some point. This time we go back to 2014's Roads to the North!

Kayle's recovered from a minor case of serious brain damage this week and is excited to talk about MONO, a fantastic post-rock band from Japan!
Kayle's brain turned off partway into this recording and never really turned back on, so you'll have to just bear with that.
Well I suppose this is long overdue isn't it? Today on Bronze Metalist the boys FINALLY discuss Ghost!
Heads up! This episode gets a bit more blue than our usual. The explicit tag is there for a reason!
Anyway, enjoy the boys (theoretically) talking about Falls of Rauros, while mostly talking about porn.

Well, it's time for our long overdue discussion of the new Silent Planet album, Iridescent!

Our review of "Cairn" feels like it happened just yesterday, but we're already back with Mizmor to talk about the fantastic "Yodh".
It's the coldest, darkest month of the year. The cozy warm feelings of the holidays have abandoned us in this frozen hellscape that is January. That means it's time once again for Black Metal month, starting with A Blaze In the Northern Sky by Darkthrone.
The boys are recovering from the holiday season, and as good as the album was, their hearts (and stomachs) weren't in this one.
Death Metal December continues with PUNGENT STENCH, which I feel must be in all caps. It just has to.
It's December folks! Death Metal December begins in... odd form with an album that is a bit less death metal than the boys expected, but is nonetheless an interesting album worth checking out.

The boys give a listen to the sixth and final album from New Jersey based Mathcore legends The Dillinger Escape Plan!
OJ takes Kayle on one of his first Safaris into the uncharted territory of classic Hardcore Punk with one of the most legendary bands in that scene: Dead Kennedys!
At the first opportunity Kayle has to talk about something that isn't metal, he chooses an album by The Wonder Years. Who could've predicted this?
Non-metal September begins with what is with out a doubt the... 2nd greatest Prog Rock album of all time!
The boys find themselves embracing the existential absurdity of human existence in this one.
Also they talk about Dungeons and Dragons a lot. Again.

After a few weeks off to deal with some personal stuff, the boys are back just before the kickoff of Death Metal December with baby Kayle's first ever metal album.
The first week of November was maybe one of the most stressful of this Decade for Americans. How did Kayle and OJ get through it? With help from Red-and-Anarchist-folk-bluegrass-ambietn Black Metal Virtuoso and outdoorsman Austin Lunn and Panopticon, that's how.
Well howdy folks! Remember the world before November? We do too. Just in Case Halloween isn't out of your system yet, we have an episode that is a few weeks old but might as well be as old as the album we're talking about ready for you!

Hehe
