Hell Bent For Metal

#64 – Dance Of Death Metal

Episode Summary

The LGBT+ heavy metal podcast explores the euphemistic joy of "Snakes For The Divine" by High On Fire, and rocks its body right to the death metal of "The Promethean" by Dyscarnate, which is this week's Camp Classic.

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal once more seeks out heavy metal's finest phallic euphemisms, this time setting their sights on the riff-tastic 'Snakes For The Divine' by High On Fire. And what could possibly be making the hosts giggle about a song with a title like that?

This week's Camp Classic is a long look at the danceable death metal of Dyscarnate's song 'The Promethean'. And as well as explaining why this song makes them believe when you say you want it that way, there are discussions both about how you need to be extremely skilled musicians to make people want to dance to death metal, and also about why there's such a strong link between pop music and gay men.
