This week on the Roach Koach Podcast we celebrate 250 episodes with our favorite masked boys Slipknot, and their 4th album, All Hope Is Gone. We talk all about the making of this album in the special bonus “documentary”, what songs have and haven’t aged well, the music videos, the enduring appeal of “Vermillion”, rank Corey’s masks, and of course we decide if Slipknot deserve another spot in the Nu-Metal Canon.

This week on the Roach Koach Podcast the team finally heeds your calls and listens to Blood Youth’s 2019 nu-metal love letter, Starve. Does this album cause one member of the Roach Koach crew to say “I fucking love this”? Does Blood Youth deserve their own holiday? Most important, is Blood Youth going into the Nu-Metal Canon? 

Also in this episode, we talk the Korn/Yelawolf Charlie Daniels cover, go over Device feedback, and definitely listen to that Corey Taylor song. CMFT? Apparently so.

Roach Koach celebrates a personal sesquicentennial this week with Slipknot and their album Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. First, it’s Who’s Recommending and Who’s Tweeting, featuring Project 86 feedback and some surprising suggestions for the Genius List. Then it’s time for Slipknot talk(8:20). Topics discussed include what it was like for the Knot to work with Rick Rubin, admiration for Clown and his bat work, the “Duality” video, giving this album a second chance in surround sound, Lorin reading from his old Livejournal, the return of Broad Talk, and of course Canon Talk, where Jenny, Lorin, and Matt, decide if Slipknot go three for three in the Nu-Metal Canon.
