Hell Bent For Metal

#56 – Camp Suey!

Episode Summary

The LGBT+ heavy metal podcast looks at the times SOAD's Daron Malakian's wardrobe choices confused our gaydars, and discusses why Cult Of Luna's "Leave Me Here" speaks to our queer side, plus 'Torn Arteries' by Carcass and 'Glory For Salvation' by Rhapsody Of Fire go in the HCGB jukebox

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal casts a queer eye back over the varied and plentiful looks of Daron Malakian, the inspired guitarist of System Of A Down. In the return of the #YesHomo feature, Tom and Matt explain why some of these appearances erroneously set off the gaydar of both hosts.

This week's Camp Classic is 'Leave Me Here' by Cult Of Luna, from the Swedish post-metallers' 2004 album Salvation. And while there's one very superficial reason CoL speak to the hosts' queer sides, there's a rather deeper reason that's the focus.

Plus this week sees two releases going into the Hate Crew Gaybar jukebox, with the Carcass' Torn Arteries and Rhapsody Of Fire's Glory For Salvation being added.
