Hell Bent For Metal

#29 – "Keep Quiet About That Gay Stuff"

Episode Summary

Hal Sinden, Talanas frontman and Eulogy Media head, talks to Tom about becoming progressively more overt about his sexuality. He also recalls some of the bad experiences he's had along the way, including when a publicist told him not to discuss "that gay stuff". Tom and Matt also take a look at 'Enchantment', the opening track on Paradise Lost's goth metal classic Draconian Times, about the myriad ways it speaks to us as queers. Plus the HCGB jukebox gets two new additions, in the shape of Ice Fleet by Kauan, and Culling Culture by Vexed. Bizarrely, this episode contains surprisingly little discussion of the Eurovision Song Contest.
