IoMP 46: Our High School Metal Lives Unpacked

In this nostalgic episode, Collin & Tom take a trip down memory lane to revisit the high school days that shaped their love for metal. They explore the bands that first introduced them to heavy music, reflect on how their tastes evolved over the years, and laugh at some of the cringeworthy favorites of their teenage selves (Three Days Grace, anyone?). Collin recalls how a steady diet of Billy Talent, System of a Down, and Three Days Grace eventually led him to the theatrical world of Powerwolf—a band that became his first true gateway into the metal realm. Meanwhile, Tom reflects on how mainstream hard rock acts like Three Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold paved the way for his discovery of more extreme bands, including deathcore and symphonic metal favorites. It's a blend of nostalgia, teenage angst, and musical evolution—offering a glimpse into the early days of two metalheads finding their sound.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/-----------------------------DISCLAIMER: Copyright Exceptions under the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c.
