IoMP 77: What Have You Been Listening To? - August 2025

This month on “What Have You Been Listening To?” Collin and Tom bring a smorgasbord of chaos, including listeners bringing forth pagan black metal, throwback power ballads, and even some local scene gems that deserve the spotlight. From the feral blast of Blackbraid’s Blackbraid III to the swagger of SpiritWorld’s Helldorado, all the way to Ozzy crooning through No More Tears, nothing is off limits. Collin drops a surprise honorable mention, Tom can’t resist gushing about melodic power death powerhouses, and somewhere in between, Avenged Sevenfold and Lord of the Lost get their turn in the pit. It’s a tour through the metal spectrum with jokes, debates, and way too much caffeine..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/R.I.P.
