After having Kyle for a second straight time last week, he went AWOL again and your stuck with Brian taking the wheel and Nick riding shotgun.  Your two faithful hosts steer you through a new batch of album reviews and a discussion on trailblazing move Earache Records made this week.  Oh, and we also go over the tiny news story you may of missed that involves Tim Lambesis allegedly hiring a hitman to murder his wife.  Fucking crazy, right!?

Episode 83: Sandwiched Between Two Tone-deaf Fat Ladies

Well, it must be a winter wonderland in Hell because Kyle has made it back for a second show in a row!  He still managed to not full listen to one of the albums, but we’ll let it slide since he actually showed up and also brought a live review of a Clutch show he saw last week.  Besides that, though, we have some great new albums we reviewed and music to played.  We also take a moment to remember Jeff Hanneman, who as you know (unless you literally live under a rock) passed away this past Thursday morning. SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
