For our twenty second episode, we decided to talk about the different types of Metalheads that we’ve encountered online and at shows. We planned on making this more of a serious discussion, but between an overwhelming few weeks at work, and the passing of Christian’s mother, we didn’t approach this topic with the same serious tone we typically would. Instead, Christian came up with several caricature descriptions and we had some good, and much needed laughs. We hope you will laugh along with us. 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 Melodic Death Metal band called Svn.Seeker!
