Episode 33: Hunted, Hung, Decapitated, Exhumed
I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet: In another jam packed week, Nick leads through a variety of music reviews (ranging from awesome deathgrind to far-less-than-awesome more traditional metal), first impressions and another music submission! This week’s submission comes from Skelectory, an unsigned band from Maryland! Also, we finish off our look at favorite songs/singles with Kyle’s picks, and we exhume another band from the grave to see if they are actually missed.
Oh, and make sure you stick through to the end so you can Skelectory for yourself!
Reviews: Cattle Decapitation - Monolith of Inhumanity; Hung - Hung; Huntress - Spelleater
First Impressions: The Acacia Strain – “Servant in the Place of Truth”; The Agonist – “Ideomotor”; Gojira – “L’enfant Sauvage”; Mnemic – “I’ve Been You”
Exhume to Consume – Damageplan - New Found Power

Episode 32: Featuring the Best Use of Hangers Since……Cheap Bunny-Ear Antennae
This week’s installment is chock full of goodies for your listening pleasure! For starters, we realized back when we announced the winner of the Jeff Loomis giveaway , we did not take that opportunity to share who our favorite modern metal guitarists were, despite having asked you listeners to do just that. So, we decided that this week would be as good a time as any (better late than never, right?). However…even bigger than that…we have our FIRST featured music submission! After 31 episodes of requesting bands send us their music to play and/or review, South Australian band Goathanger graced us with their demo (which you can download for free by clicking HERE or on the album art on the right). Rounding out the show, Nick shares some of his favorite singles (like Brian did last week), we go back and take a second look at a few albums, and, as always, we review some new music.
Reviews: Allegaeon - Formshifter; Goathanger - Demo:lition; Gorod - A Perfect Absolution

Singled Out
This is what happens when the ROCK(jock) plays in Photoshop (I must be breaking multiple copyright laws…)
Metalheads get it. We know a single song, no matter how good, can’t justify an entire album, much less a band. And yet, that continues to be how mainstream music defines worth, maybe more than ever thanks to iTunes. While we here at The SIDESHOW in no way endorse this business or artistic model, it did get us to thinking: What are some of our favorite songs, regardless of albums and bands?
Episode 31: Hammered Smashed Face
Before you listen to this podcast, go grab a beer. We’ll wait… … …you back? Good. As some of you may recall us mentioning in Episode 23 that we would eventually make a drinking game based off of a bunch of comments we received on Episode 22. Well, the wait is now over because in this episode we reveal the rules of The Official SideShow Podcast Drinking Game*! Not only that, but in a move that is in no way a bad idea, your three host play said game during this episode! (But do not expect this to become a regular thing…) While this is happening, we provide our sometimes-very-diferent views on four new releases, during one of which, Nick provides what is possibly the best review the show has ever seen. That doesn’t necessarily mean it is a positive review…it’s just done so well, Kyle and Brian are left almost speechless. Almost…
Reviews: 7 Horns 7 Eyes – Throes of Absolution; Bereft - Leichenhaus; Mares of Thrace - The Pilgrimage; Torche - Harmonicraft
