A singalong stoner anthem from Black Spiders is in the sights of the LGBTQ+ heavy metal podcast this week, as it proves to have multiple accidental gay applications. Plus HCGBs this week features albums from Shores Of Null, and Kamelot.
Hell Bent For Metal seldom needs much reason to see something metal as hella gay, actually, but even by those standards, singalong stoner anthem 'St Peter' by British band Black Spiders is an easy target.
Tom and Matt manage to find multiple ways it sits firmly in their areas of experience, and none of them are subtle or difficult to deduce. Who takes which interpretation, however, is not what you might expect.
This week's visit to the Hate Crew Gaybar sees two albums for the jukebox. First up, Matt picks The Loss Of Beauty by Italian purveyors of melodic blackened misery Shores Of Null. And in a radical yet predictable change of pace, Tom plumps for The Awakening by prog-power masters Kamelot.
And it's 100 shows not out for HBFM.
