Hell Bent For Metal

#102 – In Hot Pursuit Of Vikings

Episode Summary

The LGBTQ+ heavy metal podcast discusses a variety of ways an Amon Amarth banger makes them think about gay stuff (and Vikings), and puts albums from Grave Pleasures and Lamp Of Murmuur into HCGBs' jukebox

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal favourites Amon Amarth are back under discussion again, this time explaining why breakthrough song 'The Pursuit Of Vikings' makes them think about coming-out experiences, something gay men are surprisingly comfortable discussing that most folks aren't, and, er, Destiny's Child.

It's a surprisingly well behaved Camp Classic (by HBFM standards, anyway), but maybe it's because it's the summer and the cricket season in Britain, but Matt and Tom are in surprisingly thirsty form. And not just for Pimm's.

This week's visit to HCGBs sees Matt put Plagueboys by Finnish post-punks Grave Pleasures into the jukebox, while Tom's plumped for Saturnian Bloodstorm by Lamp Of Murmuur… although you could be forgiven for thinking it's by someone else, according to the guy picking it.
