Typically speaking, if it's metal/hard rock I'm down. I like all vocal ranges so no reservations there. If there's anyone else you like a lot, I'm down to hear it. Also I really enjoy acoustic stuff, so if you have any of that, I'm down. Andy McKee who we use for the podcast intro/outro has become a standby favorite as well.

As far as Coheed, I basically celebrate their whole catalog. I've been listening to them since their first album and coincidentally they're from the same place I grew up. So yeah, much love for them. If you haven't listened in awhile, I suggest checking out both their first and fourth albums - Second Stage Turbine Blade and Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, respectively. Both make for some great driving music and just stuff that's fun to rock out to.

Here's one of my favorites from the fourth album:

Gravemakers & Gunslingers

Wow, Sylosis is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation! I've honestly never heard of them, but there is absolutely a level of cohesion there that you don't often see in modern metal bands. Like you said, if you're not playing in harmony with the drummer it often just sounds like noise.

If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to them. My iPod has gotten stale lately (with more than 6000 songs you wouldn't think that would happen, but here we are).

Though not metal, I've recently gotten really into Glassjaw, though their latest album isn't anywhere as good as their older stuff. I've also really enjoyed listening to 36 Crazyfists from Alaska. They're not quite as heavy as Sylosis, but they've got a pretty original sound.

Also not metal, but I'm always jamming out to Coheed & Cambria. Amazing rock opera riffs, a backing story, unique vocals, and incredible energy. They're progressive rock at its best.

Game of the show, hands down. Day one purchase for me.

I am so excited for this game. Agreed on the fact that Matt and Trey were the highlight of the show. You know they're being genuine when they come out on stage and troll the people putting on the show.

Also agreed on the art style being nailed perfectly. It looks and sounds like South Park, which is a pretty exciting thing. I don't know why it is, but it could be because this is the first time we'll be playing a game that perfectly recreates its source content without any sacrifices.

I'm hopeful that with Obsidian behind the wheel the game is pretty lengthy. They tend to make very big games and I'm hoping this is no exception. Side quests that tap into the rich lore of the show will be much appreciated. I can imagine going into the mountains and fighting Scuzzlebutt or running into Big Gay Al's Animal Sanctuary or destroying Trapper Keeper. Alien abductions, marklar, Joozians, and all sorts of good stuff. The possibilities are basically endless, so hopefully they don't fail us.

Agreed. This just continues to reinforce my thinking that Nintendo purposely held back this year at E3, as did everyone else. Don't know why, but I'm hoping Nintendo's next media summit really shows off what they have in store.

I'm hoping they use a standard charging cable, like micro-USB. That way we can just buy extenders as necessary and make it a really moot point.

Thanks Rawbiz! We'll keep pumping them out, so please do keep listening.

Excellent news, very happy to hear this.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this looked pretty great. Totally Metroid Prime-like, but great nonetheless. Consider me at least cautiously optimistic.

This is phenomenal news. Love to hear that good talent is sticking together and being brought into a solid company like Epic Games.
