Thunderdome Metal Reviews: The Church of Heavy Metal

Tracey is a sentient prog metal algorithm composed of chicken blood and spreadsheets (@KloakaMetal), Ben is an oldhead with a penchant for nihilism, sludge, and bourbon (@BenDangerously), Dr. David Pizzo (@pizzohistorian) is a world-traveling scholar who bleeds thrash, and Dr. Gabriel Cooper (@lividlunch) when not reveling in a metalcore breakdown brings a plethora of death from the cavernous depths of his murder basement. Together they are just four metalheads giving their thoughts on bands and albums across the metallic spectrum.

Grab Bag 038: Why is This Happening to Me?

Metalheads!! Gabe asked us to pick an album with another person in the group in mind. We learned that interpretations of this didn't necessarily align with the spirit of what Gabe requested. Featuring: Methdrinker, Ministry, Hellyeah, and Mastiff.
