On August 16, 2005, Fuse TV announced its selection to become the exclusive cable television broadcast partner for the 10th anniversary of Ozzfest. Jones also interviewed Throwdown on one episodes. Mark Hunter of Chimaira and Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage each hosted two shows. In September 2005, the show was guest hosted on two occasions while Chernetsky was on vacation. The program also interviewed veteran musicians like Geezer Butler and Pedro Howse of GZR. Phil Demmel from Machine Head confessed that he first found out about Municipal Waste from watching Metal Asylum. Metal Asylum did include exclusive videos and helped break out some underground bands like Municipal Waste and The Red Chord. The show's opening title sequence featured Chernetsky pushing through twisted black graphics, and the intro guitar to Bloodsimple's " What if I Lost it" served as its theme music. The scripts were written by legendary metal TV producer Jason Haitkin (who also had a hand in Uranium and Headbangers Ball and also directed videos for bands). As opposed to Uranium where Chernetsky could fly off the cuff most of the time, on Metal Asylum she read off a script on a teleprompter. A typical episode of Metal Asylum would have Chernetsky standing solo in a shady lit studio, briefly discussing bands before playing their videos. In contrast to Uranium, interviews were rare.
