Customer Reviews
Good
Good bunch of folks, funny, engaging and charismatic, as well as smart and well thought out. Thanks for introducing me to stuff like Fall of Efrafa, Panopticon and Primordial.
Best Metal pod there is
These lads really know their stuff, and they talk about new music and news with a very objective frame of mind. They’re not afraid to criticize music they don’t like, which makes it mean all that much more when they praise something (just wish they’d talk about American metalcore every once in a while). Consistent episodes every week keep me tuning in. Keep it up!
A refreshing take on modern music
Beez and Hill are the greatest! Love their honest (and often times hilarious) take on music.
