In this episode of The Macabre Coven, Xavi tears down the walls of metal elitism and dives headfirst into the world of heavy metal ballads — those grand, emotional anthems we all pretend not to love but secretly blast on repeat. From The Bard’s Song to Wasting Love and Wind of Change, Xavi unpacks why these so-called "guilty pleasures" are actually some of the most powerful, honest, and heavy songs out there. No filters, no shame — just brutal truth and unapologetic love for the melodic side of metal. Tune in, crank it up, and embrace the part of yourself that sings along when no one’s watching.
