Ray and Steve are back with a brand-new episode! This time they’re stepping outside the traditional Queensrÿche catalog to dive headfirst into Todd La Torre’s bone-crushing 2021 solo debut LP, Rejoice in the Suffering. Packed with relentless riffs, blistering vocals, and zero compromises, this album shows a whole different side of Todd. With a major assist from lifelong friend Craig Blackwell, the big question is: Does it hit as hard as it promises?

The guys go track-by-track through Rejoice in the Suffering, ranking their favorite (and least favorite) songs and breaking down just how heavy things get. Along the way, they compare it to Todd’s work in Queensrÿche, the influences heard throughout, and explore where this album fits in the broader metal landscape. What follows is a high-energy, opinion-filled discussion with plenty of strong takes, maybe even a few disagreements, and a discussion of why Craig Blackwell is not a household name in the world of metal guitarists! They also spend time digging into listener feedback from recent episodes.

Ray and Steve are back with a brand-new episode that finds them venturing into uncharted territory…an episode of a Queensrÿche podcast that doesn’t focus on Queensrÿche!

This time, the guys pay tribute to German metal legends Accept. With Accept opening the recently completed Volume & Vengeance Tour alongside Queensrÿche, and with so many fascinating parallels between the two bands, the timing felt perfect to spotlight this iconic group.

Ray and Steve break down their Top 5 songs from both the Udo Dirkschneider era and the Mark Tornillo era, while sharing plenty of stories and personal memories about what Accept has meant to them over the years.

Plus, there’s a ton of listener feedback from the recent Tribe album review episode, featuring calls from many members of our ever-growing cast of audience characters.

Ray and Steve are back with a brand-new episode, and this time they’re diving headfirst into Tribe, the 2003 release from Queensrÿche. With the band facing tight deadlines and creative pressure, the album marked the return of Chris DeGarmo, who contributed both songwriting and guitar work. Did his involvement give the band a spark or was it a case of the magic being gone? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

The guys go track-by-track through Tribe, ranking every song and stacking the album up against the rest of the Queensrÿche catalog. What follows is a passionate, heated, and maybe even controversial discussion full of sharp turns, strong opinions, and plenty of debate. They also spend time digging into listener feedback from the last couple of episodes.
