  • Stop justifying everything

    Yall spend More time during an episode defending your opinions against theoretical trolls than you do talking about the topic at hand and it’s infuriating.

  • A Great Listen for Metal Fans and Non-Metal Fans Alike!

    Look forward to this podcast every week and really appreciate the host’s passion for music, as well as the history and personal impact the music may have had on them. Been nice to hear them expand beyond “metal” and incorporate other groups like Journey, ADTR and Deftones, so I hope we get more of that in the future. Give it a listen if you are a music fan, you’ll like it.
