This week on the Roach Koach Podcast, the Three Bears of Nu-Metal, Jenny, Lorin and Matt, check in on Sepultura and see how they responded after Max Cavalera left the band, with their album Against. Topics discussed:Should this have been a hardcore album?; Pit stokers instead of pit activators, how many of these songs are about Max?; Is this album desperate or just passive aggressive?; “Aren’t we all Paolo?”; filthy riffs, the meaning behind the masks, “Dude. Don’t.”; “Trees, hemoglobin, trees”, Who’s Tweeting, the Talk Toomey podcast, iTunes reviews, Lorin deals with criticism, and of course the answer to the question, does Sepultura deserve another spot in the Nu-Metal Canon?

Pits are activated and hearts are changed on this week's episode of Roach Koach. Lorin and Jenny give Matt Naas their full report from Return of the Dreads. They talk about meeting a fan, eating fries, and Jenny's change of heart regarding Korn. Once that business is handled, the team gives a listen to Sepultura's album Roots, another in a long line of productions by "The Angel" Ross Robinson. Does it make the Nu Metal Canon? Listen and find out! Please give us a like on Facebook, a follow on Twitter (@roachkoach) and a review on iTunes. 

Recorded by Matt Naas on location at the Indigo Porch.
