Hell Bent For Metal

#61 – The Ultimate Gay-Off: Power Metal v Black Metal

Episode Summary

The LGBT+ heavy metal podcast discusses the vital issue of which is more gay, black metal or power metal, as well as looking at the queer angle on a metalcore classic from Shadows Fall, plus putting albums from Der Weg Einer Freiheit and Voidsphere into the HCGB jukebox

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal moves into 2022 by taking on a major, pressing question: Which subgenre is the gayer, black metal or power metal?

This week's Camp Classic is 'Destroyer Of Senses' by Shadows Fall, from their 2002 album The Art Of Balance. And as well as being a metalcore classic, it also has clear queer relevance to both hosts.

Plus there are new entries for the Hate Crew Gaybar jukebox additions, as the hosts correct errors by putting albums they missed in 2021 into the jukebox, with Noktvrn by Der Weg Einer Freiheit, and To Overtake | To Overcome by Voidsphere being added.
