For our twenty-fifth episode, we thought it would be fun to highlight our favorite and least favorite Metal Cover Songs. Some of these are great, but others are outright horrible. We play short clips from the bad ones so you can decide for yourself! As always, we’re sure we’ve missed great examples of both good and bad, so please let us know what your favorites are either way! Of course, we also discuss each of our top three albums from the past two weeks as well as several honorable mentions. We close out the show with an “Extreme Submission” from a killer death metal band from Houston – Bleak Barrow!
