While recording their latest episode, Tim, Eric, and Joe did a quick review of their trip to Boston to see Metallica as part of their M72 tour. This is a 30-minute episode and mostly covers the Boston trip, but also features things that Keith has been up to lately. 

Episode 10 of their look back on albums from the year 1994 takes Somewhere in Time to California. Primarily, San Diego and Los Angeles. Albums discussed this episode include “Purple” by Stone Temple Pilots and “Hold on to the Hollow” by Drown. While most everyone in the world has heard songs from Purple, not many people know about the band Drown. In fact, one of the discussion topics in this episode is how hard it was for the pod to research this band!

Episode 9 of Somewhere in Time’s run of 1994 albums focuses on the debut album from Machine Head, “Burn my Eyes”. There’s a lot to cover here, such as, why Robb Flynn left Vio-Lence to form this band, some of the vocal and lyric choices that Robb makes on the album, and how well the album holds up after 30 years. 

Somewhere in Time Podcast discuss two albums in the 8th episode of their exploration of albums from 1994. “Jar of Flies” by Alice in Chains and the self-titled debut from Pride & Glory. There’s a slight connection, as Mike Inez played bass for Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde is well known for his work with Ozzy. Outside of that, not a lot of commonalities between these two. While Pride & Glory may not be a well-known band, the podcast felt they deserved a full episode.

Continuing their discussion on the album “Throwing Copper” by Live, Somewhere in Time welcomes Chad Gracey, drummer and one of the founding members of Live. Chad does a deep dive into the band’s history, what it was like seeing the band blow up when the song Lightning Crashes was released, and the state of the band now. Somewhere in Time appreciates Chad taking the time out to join them for this episode!

In episode 7 of their discussion on albums from 1994, Somewhere in Time Podcast welcomes Naomi from Dope Nostalgia Podcast to discuss the album Throwing Copper by Live.

In Episode 6 of their retrospective look at albums celebrating 30-year anniversaries, Somewhere in Time discuss the album “Youthanasia” by Megadeth. SIT welcomes their friend Justin back to this episode, as well as their friend Marshall. Both have a lot of great insight on the album, from the production, the gear used by Marty and Dave, and how some songs may sound a little more like sitcom theme music than metal.

Somewhere in Time Podcast continue their discussion of albums from the year 1994 with the album “Divine Intervention” by Slayer. The podcast welcomes back their friend, Justin, and discusses topics such as this being the first Slayer album to feature Paul Bostaph (formerly of Forbidden) on drums, lyrical content veering away from classic Slayer and more relevant to current events, and the overall opinion of the album.

Somewhere in Time Podcast continue their discussion of albums from the year 1994 with the album “This Toilet Earth” by GWAR. This is the last album to feature Michael Bishop as Beefcake the Mighty and also the first featuring Pete Lee portraying Flattus Maximus. Friend of the show, Tom, once again joins the podcast for this episode. Tom is the resident GWAR expert, so it was kind of mandatory that he join in on the discussion.

In the third episode of a series of episodes celebrating albums from 1994, Somewhere in Time Podcast discusses “Weight” by Rollins Band. The podcast is joined by their friend, Tom for this episode. Topics covered include the change in sound from previous albums, production, and, of course, how the song “Liar” blew up.

In the second episode of a series of episodes celebrating albums from 1994, Somewhere in Time Podcast discusses “Deliverance” by North Carolina band, Corrosion of Conformity. This episode also features some discussion on Spotify’s AI DJ, “X” and some bands that Eric discovered by using this feature. 

In the first episode of a series of episodes celebrating albums from 1994, Somewhere in Time...

As Somewhere in Time transitions from 1993 albums to 1994 albums, there was some recent metal news...

Somewhere in Time Podcast welcome Brad Divens back to the podcast to discuss the debut, self-titled album from Souls at Zero, as well as the 1994 EP, “Six-T-Six”. Brad contributed bass guitar and vocals to both these albums, as well as helped produce them (along with the rest of Souls at Zero). Souls at Zero was essentially the next iteration of Wrathchild America, just with a different name. This topic, plus a track-by-track breakdown of the album, are featured on this episode. Also, the guys on the podcast ask Brad a series of questions submitted by Wrathchild/SAZ fans.

Somewhere in Time Podcast returns with an episode dedicated to some 1993 albums that didn’t...

Somewhere in Time Podcast are still finishing up some 1993 albums, and this time they are discussing the debut from Seattle based band, Candlebox. This band may get lumped in with the “grunge” sound because of where they are from, but are they grunge? This is discussed and many more topics, including the fact that their singer never really wanted to be a frontman, and they had a drummer in their band that was in a popular DMV band in the 90’s. 

Somewhere in Time Podcast are kicking 2024 off with a look back at some of their favorite albums of 2023. Among many other bands, albums by Overkill, Mutoid Man, Baroness, and Foo Fighters are discussed. Collectively, the overall favorite by 3/4 of the podcast was 72 Seasons by Metallica, but this album was already covered in a previous episode (go back and listen if you haven’t already!). Instead, the focus is on some of the favorite hard rock and metal albums. Over 20 albums are discussed on this episode, so perhaps you’ll hear something you’ve not heard yet and have some new music to check out!

Somewhere in Time Podcast open 2024 with a couple of leftover albums celebrating 30 and 40 year anniversaries. “Out of Step” by Minor Threat, from 1983, and “In on the Kill Taker” by Fugazi. Keith was the one to bring these two albums to the podcast but seeing that the hosts of Somewhere in Time Podcast are from the D.C. suburbs, it was fitting that these two albums get a proper breakdown on the podcast.

2023 celebrates 50 years of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Somewhere in Time podcast couldn’t ignore this milestone anniversary and discuss all things Dark Side on this episode. The episode also includes clips from the 2006 documentary, “The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon”. There are behind the scenes moments that include isolated vocals, the meaning behind some of the songs, and how they created some of the synth and voice sounds.

Somewhere in Time Podcast returns for part two of an episode dedicated to two Metallica albums from the past twenty years. “St Anger” from 2003 and “72 Seasons” from 2023. Once again, this episode features a special guest, Fern, from the band Eyes of the Nile. On this extended episode, you’ll hear a track-by-track breakdown of both St. Anger and 72 Seasons. The shuffle button is hit on a playlist featuring every song on both albums, and each song is discussed based on the random order in which it’s played.
