Episode Notes

Tom and Matt reluctantly takes on the thorny subject of Bård Eithun, better known as Faust, the former Emperor drummer who murdered a gay man, Magne Andreassen in 1992 – and who has been welcomed back into the fold for a second time.

As the Norwegian black metal legends announce Faust's guest appearance for a live stream event, the LGBT+ heavy metal podcast explains why this is such a kick in the teeth for us gays – and what we think the way forward should be.

To cheer us up after all that, we swing by the Hate Crew Gaybar for something fruity, and to discuss why Sleeps Society by While She Sleeps and Cursed Be Thy Kingdom by Bewitcher are being added to the jukebox.
