IoMP 60: WHYBLT - June 2025

It’s the biggest “What Have You Been Listening To?” episode yet! Collin and Tom are joined by a very special guest—Tom’s girlfriend Shay, a.k.a. the Pumpkin Queen—for a chaotic, genre-hopping ride through their top music picks of June 2025. From listener-submitted gems like horror metal act Blood Opera, to grindcore insanity with King Parrot, there’s something for every flavor of metalhead. Shay surprises everyone with her newfound love for Sabaton’s “Primo Victoria,” while Volbeat’s new album God of Angel’s Trust sparks debate and even lands on two of the hosts’ lists. The crew dives deep into death metal with picks from Cryptopsy and Fallujah, celebrates goth and atmospheric beauty with Ludovico Technique and Lindsay Schoolcraft, and gets into some high fantasy party mode with Wind Rose and Orden Ogan. BABYMETAL claims a top spot with a surprise Sabaton collab, Alestorm drops a pirate metal masterpiece, and modern prog fans get some love thanks to Unprocessed. With 20 killer recommendations, plenty of surprises, and a whole lot of laughs, this is the episode your playlists have been waiting for.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:Blood Opera “The Gates of Hell (feat.
