We’re joined by Greg from Nefarious Industries to talk about Peter Jackson’s horror comedy classic, Dead Alive (or Braindead if you’re a Euro).

But that’s not …

On this episode of Toilet Radio: Oops! All Our Guys! We promise one hour of nothing but talking about the dopes we’ve somehow spent many hours talking about already. TO START: RFK Jr dropped out of the presidential race and it’s got Ash from Sumerian Records all itchy and chafe-y so you know he’s gotta threaten some spurious legal action over it. D…

This week on Toilet Radio we tackle artificial intelligence in heavy metal. In the past we’ve discussed odious little AI projects like Frostbite Orckings and ShredderZ which were, all credit due, absolutely odious. This time we delve further into a dozen or so other fake AI metal “bands” to get a taste for what some of the most Cheeto-stained peopl…
