They explore why metal bands often collaborate with non-metal artists and highlight surprising partnerships that worked. Remember when Run D-M-C collaborated with Aerosmith? How about when Ozzy featured on a Post Malone track? Did you know Ed Sheeran worked with not one, but two metal bands in Bring Me The Horizon and Cradle of Filth?
