IoMP 151: These Bands Aren't Around Anymore (... And We Wish They Were)

Breakups suck. Whether it’s your ex leaving you because you spent the mortgage payment on Cannibal Corpse vinyl variants… or your favourite metal band calling it quits forever. In this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom dive into the bands they wish were still around, from legendary icons like Death, Type O Negative, and Dio to underground favourites like Cathartic Demise and Astaroth Incarnate.The episode spirals gloriously out of control with debates about hologram concerts, Peter Steele’s impossible charisma, Ryan Gosling dating a sex doll in Lars and the Real Girl, and why Cannabis Corpse may secretly be one of the greatest joke bands ever created. Along the way, the guys celebrate the music, the memories, and the emotional scars left behind when incredible bands disappear.It’s heartfelt, chaotic, weirdly wholesome, and somehow educational. Just another normal day at the office.Check out more from Collin!https://indi1015.ca/shows/thrashers-paradise/https://www.youtube.com/@thrashersparadise4132https://www.instagram.com/thrashers_paradise/https://www.facebook.com/Thrashers.Paradise.666/Check out more from Tom!https://themetalrobot.com/https://www.youtube.com/@MetalRobotReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/theMetalRobothttps://x.com/theMetalRobothttps://www.instagram.com/the.metalrobot/MUSIC:Bolt Thrower “Mercenary”Type O Negative “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend”Huntress “Eight of Swords”Cannabis Corpse “The 420th Crusade”-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
