Episode 14 - Skindred/Babylon

Ever feel like you want to explore the powerful world of heavy music but don't know where to start? Chew The Metal: A Beginner's Guide To Heavy Music is your friendly guide through the thunder. Each week, hosts Rich and Kyle pick a foundational or fascinating album from the rock and metal spectrum and break it down, not as critics, but as curious fans building the ultimate playlist. Their conversations are less like lectures and more like the chat you’d have with friends after a concert, full of genuine reactions, historical tidbits, and the occasional debate over a killer riff or a questionable lyric. The whole point of this podcast is to demystify the genre, one deep dive at a time, making those iconic and obscure records accessible to everyone. You’ll hear the music that shaped movements, understand why certain albums matter, and maybe even find your new favorite band. It’s a weekly journey where the hosts are learning right alongside you, making the vast landscape of heavy music feel a little smaller and a lot more welcoming. Join Rich and Kyle as they listen, laugh, and genuinely chew on everything metal has to offer.
