Great episode!!! But am I missing a segment? Because the episode go from introduction of the guys in the conversation to the main decision.

Danny Ukes ,

The best in the business

Jon “The Vernomatic” Verno is quickly becoming my go to source for all the latest heavy metal news. Every week the show takes us on a journey through metal history up to and including todays most relevant information about our favorite bands and artists.

Where other podcasts lack, Metal Mayhem hits the nail on the head with insightful interviews, entertaining content blocks, and most importantly, charisma and excitement. Truly one of the best productions in the metal podcast world, can’t stop recommending it. Keep it Heavy!

Suzy Hammer ,
