On this very special Christmas edition of Toilet Radio: I get all riled up and bitter because Liquid Death managed to go viral again. Great. Attila’s rebrand attempt after an aborted tour featuring multiple sexual abusers is a deeply confusing proletarian campaign. Phil Labonte wants to privatize the mail for reasons even he doesn’t understand. BUT…

This week on Toilet Radio: We know what the you weirdos like. Blood Incantation is gonna be on almost every best-of 2024 list from here to Calcutta. But what of the mainstream?

This week on Toilet Radio: Jake E Lee isn’t afraid of anything, including the guy that shot him multiple times. Tim Lambesis was caught on video acting violent and insane towards his wife. He responds by saying that he is a victim and this is is all HER fault, actually. SHOCKING. Sick New World tried to put dozens of bands on a one day fest and pay…

This week on Toilet Radio: Morbid Angel dropped off their own headlining tour to be replaced with I AM MORBID. What the fuck? That’s like L.A. Guns being replaced by one of a dozen different active L.A. Guns outfits. Also on this week’s show: We got a promotional email for an AI “metal band” that was generated entirely by a greasy fucking nerd typi…

We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. This week on Toilet Radio: Election madness! Jon Schaffer managed to get a slap on the wrist for diming out all his Oathkeeper buddies so Iced Earth will surely return soon. As I Lay Dying has completely melted down and it’s all Tim Lambesis’ fault. Warped Tour* has returned and it sucks real bad m…

This week: Our final episode of The 2024 Halloween Spooktacular. We’re joined by returning champion Shayne Mathis to talk about Demons (1985), a movie about how much fun it is to skip school and go watch horror movies instead. For folks unfamiliar, Demons is a much-beloved Italian zombie flick that features the music of early Motley Crue, Saxon, Ac…

This week we’re joined by Dave from Earsplit PR and noise-favorites Gridfailure.

Join us as we put on Ethan Hawke’s acting sweater to talk about found-f…

In his follow-up to 2013’s You’re Next, Adam Wingard imagines The Terminator and Halloween 3 through a lens of CW teen dramas and cocaine-infused beats. Scored by Zombi’s Steve Moore, The Guest offers a thrilling soundtrack to go alon…

We’re joined by Greg from Nefarious Industries to talk about Peter Jackson’s horror comedy classic, Dead Alive (or Braindead if you’re a Euro). Long before The Lord of the Rings, Peter trafficked in the grotesque and absurd to create low-budget pictures jam-packed with guts and goo. We talk about his most splatter-y early work here. But that’s not …

We’re kicking off the October Spooktacular, our month-long celebration of horror movies, with special guest Maddie (aka Beaver Mosh)!

We’re talking about the movie that spawned a million sequels…

Oh god. Phil Labonte wrote an op-ed for Fox News about how society doesn’t value men.

This week on Toilet Radio: We learn that right-wing media company Tenet Media, may be doing a little light treason with the help of Tim Pool, Phil Labonte, and the Russian government. Whoops! Also, At the Drive In’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala is going to war with Scientology and, by extension, Linkin Park’s new vocalist. Wes Eisgold of Cold Cave and Amer…

On this episode of Toilet Radio: Oops! All Our Guys! We promise one hour of nothing but talking about the dopes we’ve somehow spent many hours talking about already. TO START: RFK Jr dropped out of the presidential race and it’s got Ash from Sumerian Records all itchy and chafe-y so you know he’s gotta threaten some spurious legal action over it. D…

We’re enjoying the final days of Summer and there’s no better way to celebrate than by taking an audio journey to the Southern hemisphere. A couple years ago we made a trek to Japan to enjoy a wide variety of heavy metal noises. This time around we’re setting our sights on Chile. Join me and Jordan as we learn some cursory facts about the longest c…

This week on Toilet Radio: Sometimes a man has to make a very silly decision. In this case, that man is Jeff (@Solidstapp) and the decision is to attend an all-day local music fest with more bands than paying attendees hosted in a motel conference room. Join us as Jeff regales Joe and Jordan with tales from the upstate New York DIY and not-so-DIY s…

This week on Toilet Radio: We discuss mass shootings and liminal spaces before diving into the global spectacle of the Olympics. Gojira – good! Skillet – bad! Synchronized diving and willfully ignorant nationalism – fun! We also talk about the most real ass interview we’ve ever read. The bass player from Exodus tells it like it fuckin’ is RE: the e…

This week on Toilet Radio: Boy, a lot of strange things happened since we last recorded. Some kid tried to shoot Donald Trump and hijinks briefly ensued. Everyone’s moved on by now but Jack Black managed to knife his bandmate in the back over brief backlash they received for saying out loud what everyone else was already saying out loud. Meanwhile,…

This week on Toilet Radio we tackle artificial intelligence in heavy metal. In the past we’ve discussed odious little AI projects like Frostbite Orckings and ShredderZ which were, all credit due, absolutely odious. This time we delve further into a dozen or so other fake AI metal “bands” to get a taste for what some of the most Cheeto-stained peopl…

This week on Toilet Radio we watched Underground Inc., a documentary about the forgotten edges of the 90s alternative rock boom. Post-Nevermind, there was an explosion in major label dollars thrown at freaks with guitars hoping for similar success stories. This 2019 documentary helps explore that era with the help of Steve Albini, Sean from White Z…
