Brian and Matt cover the weird genius of Primus, focusing on Pork Soda, the one with "My Name Is Mud." Les Claypool's distinct vocals and bass virtuosity come together to create music that's unique and eccentric but still heavy and somewhat accessible.

Is Primus metal? We're not sure. But we do know it's awesome and worth cracking open some Pork Soda!

And, from Swedish giants to up-and-coming killers, get ready for more recommendations to scratch that itch for brutality.
