Episode Notes

This week on the LGBT+ heavy metal podcast, we celebrate the time Icelandic post-metal cowboys Sólstafir helped queer representation in metal with their video for 'Love Is The Devil (And I Am In Love)'.

We also take a good gaze into Deftones' 'Diamond Eyes', and reveal the reason Tom immediately thought it was extremely gay .

Plus the additions for the Hate Crew Gaybar jukebox this week are Awakened by Vorvan, and Silver Lake by Esa Holopainen.

Somehow this episode also sees discussions of queer representation in Star Trek: Discovery and Emmerdale, because why on Earth wouldn't it?
