Disciples!!

Hope you had a fabulous Halloween – if you partake, or just enjoy from a distance like yours truly! We’re back for episode 405 of our standard fare – chatting, sharing, news-talking – you get it.

On this episode we have 3 independent offerings! That’s right – we’re adding a third going forward, so more music for your listening pleasure. We have ‘7 Miles to Pittsburgh’ from the Netherlands, and from the USA we have ‘Hate Beast’ and ‘Blood of the Earth’.

Also, we’ll share and break down Metal Injection’s list of “10 Metal Albums That Are Actually Scary-Sounding” for your post-Halloween refractory period.

Enjoy!
