The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-08-11) What happens when a prog metal nerd never lets go of his dream to make a JRPG? You get Bane of the Talebearer—a colossal multimedia passion project years in the making from composer, producer, and Dreamwalkers Inc frontman Tom de Wit (TDW).This isn’t just an album. It’s a 74-track soundtrack, a voice-acted audio drama, and maybe—just maybe—a full-fledged video game someday. In this episode, Tom joins The Metal Robot Podcast to break down the story, the world, the characters, and the insane amount of work going into Rezalah’s biggest adventure.Check out the Metal Robot Hub for MORE of the metal content you crave► https://themetalrobot.com/Want your music featured on the show?

The Metal Robot Podcast (2025-07-14) In this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast, we jump into a weird variety of metal albums, from a thrash metal request that slapped, to the crustiest of crust/death/punk, to some good power/heavy/death metal from the U.S.A. Then, it’s another spin on Metal Archives Roulette—this time landing on Mexico and finding some goregrind gremlins. Finally, we wrap things up with an interview with Gustaf of industrial power-thrash project Mindistry, digging into the making of their new single Militaire Sans Frontières. It’s a ride—from groove to grind to cyber-metal madness.Check out the Metal Robot Hub for MORE of the metal content you crave► https://themetalrobot.com/Want your music featured on the show?

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-06-06) In this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast, we dive into In Flames' 10th album, "Sounds Of A Playground Fading." I’ve got mixed feelings about the album, with me praising its better moments but criticizing its monotonous sound and lack of variety.The podcast then features interviews with members of two metal bands with new albums. First, Phil Flores from the thrash metal band EvilDead discusses their latest release, "Toxic Grace." This is followed by a conversation with Robert and Benno from the German sleaze rock band Night Laser, who talk about their new album, "Call Me What You Want." Check out the Metal Robot Hub for MORE of the metal content you crave► https://themetalrobot.com/Want your music featured on the show?

The Metal Robot Podcast (2024-01-22) In this episode we wrap up the 2023 season with Collin Sterling of Thrashers Paradise to talk about what we’ve been listening to the most this past year.2023 for many has been a rollercoaster, including for both me and Collin. Though we couldn’t get around to a best of the year list ourselves, that doesn’t mean we’ve been avoiding the black hole of the metal scene. This was the year that saw lots of new and interesting bands popping up, many of which we never heard of until they blew up (*cough* Sleep Token *cough*), and fun projects that got us to question the use of A.I. in the music scene, such as loving the outcome with Boi What’s Plankton metal.The year has been interesting for sure, but whether for the good or bad it’s a year that gave us at least something to talk about moving forward into 2024 (and hopefully not 2020 part 4).Check out the Metal Robot Hub for MORE of the metal content you crave► themetalrobot.com/Want your music featured on the show?
