Altar of NoiseDeep Dive: Korn - Follow The LeaderThis week, we dive deep into the best selling album from the godfather's of Nu-Metal, Korn. 'Follow The Leader' was a cross-over success thanks to its more polished sound and infamous music videos being played non-stop on MTV's TRL. The band streamlined their songs making them more pallatable, all whilst keeping the raw emotion from the previous albums. 2023 also marks the 25 year anniversary of this monsterous album. Seems fitting that we add it to the list of our classic albums! Korn's official site: https://kornofficial.com 'Follow The Leader' Spotify link: https...2023-09-211h 49

After the intial success of their debut 'Mer De Noms', APC decided to take a turn sonically. 'Thirteenth Step' is more sombre, ethereal and melancholy than it's predecessor. With an overarching concept about addiction, Thirteenth Step takes the listener on a journey through various aspects and viewpoints of addiction. It was released to a lukewarm reception.

Local Produce Stage, Green Stage, Boiler Room and of course, the Main Stage. Today's episode is the Local Produce Stage. The parameters are simple. All artists must be still active and they need to think about which artists will sell tickets (kind of...). 6 bands per stage, chosen 50/50 between Josh and Simon.

It is a list by Liveabout publication, '100 of the best pop songs of all time'. Obviously we don't go through the whole 100, as this was recorded this at some ungodly hour. We decided the top 40 was our best bet to see how they went about this list. They take a slightly scientific approach, stating "Scientists at the University of London who have studied the psychology of pop music have identified three elements that make a song grab your attention. Phrasing, Chrous, Strong Vocals." Elsewhere, an...2022-03-1747 min

With Josh full of anger from his recent bowls game and Simon struggling to overcome the man-flu, they countdown their favourite albums for 2021. Like last year, we will be splitting this into two episodes, with this week's penultimate episode for 2021 counting down albums 10 - 6. Once again, they have polar opposite lists, but thats what makes these lists fun! Some of them blew our minds, some of them filled us with joy, and some of them touched us spiritually.

Altar of NoiseEpisode 40: Aussie ComparisonsYou know how when you're trying to explain the sound of an Aussie artist to a friend and you go to the line 'They're the Aussie version of...'? Well this is an episode about that! This week, we pick a couple of big international acts and try to pick a comparative Australian artist. Who is Australia's Metallica? Who is our Radiohead? Is there even an Aussie nu-metal band? Listen to us agree (and argue) in what was a fun episode to record! Contact Us! Facebook: www.facebook.com/Altarofnoisepodcast/2021-11-2550 min

This week we dive into Rolling Stone's atrocious list of the greatest 500 songs of all time and boy it's rough... Featuring the likes of 50 Cent, Daddy Yankee and Carly Rae Jepsen, we try to work out exactly what drugs the people were on who voted on it.

Altar of NoiseDeep Dive: Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotSURPRISE! Another deep dive! This week we dive in to "...this generation's most important band" (NME) debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. A concept album about the nightlife in Northern England, the album exudes feelings of youthfulness and nostalgia. Alex Turner's lyrics perfectly capturing that carefree time of our lives. With songs about running away from the police, dealing with aggressive bouncer's, trying to find love for the night and prostitutes, the Sheffield quartet covered every subject teenagers face on a wild Saturday night out. 2021-09-301h 37

Altar of NoiseDeep Dive: American Head Charge - The War of ArtWe are back and with a new deep dive to boot! American Head Charge are an Industrial/Nu-Metal band known for their horror-punk aesthetics and insane live shows. Having formed inside a rehab centre by Chad Hanks and Cameron Heacock, they went on to produce one of the best Nu-Metal albums (in our opinion) of all time. Released at the height of the genres popularity, The War of Art is unrelentless, creepy, groovy, and really, really heavy.

Altar of NoiseDeep Dive: David Bowie - Hunky DoryDavid Bowie. The man, the myth, the legend. Where do you start with a back catalogue like his? Well, we believe 'Hunky Dory' is when Bowie became Bowie. Bowie's prowess as a songwriter is (arguably) on show for the first time in his career. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone wrote of Hunky Dory, "Hunky Dory was the album where he staked his claim as the most altered ego in rock & roll." and in this episode, we try and dive into what makes this album one of his best.

Altar of NoiseDeep Dive: Blink 182 - UntitledAfter a short break, Blink 182 decided it was time to experiment and make a more personal record. What materialised was 2003's 'Untitled' album, featuring actual NASA recordings, a WWII love letter and of course a song about sex. The band themselves were no longer the silly pop punk skaters we loved and were all married with children, and this album reflects their new stages of life. The album divided their fanbase but was championed by critics as a more mature and well-thought out album.

We couldn't dive too deep into it as there's so much, so don't be surprised if we re-visit this subject in the future!
