Episode Summary

Episode Notes

Yasmine Summan, the music journalist, social media guru, and TikTok star, most famous for their work at Altpress and as one-third of On Wednesdays We Wear Black, guests. They talk about being out as non-binary in metal, about racism and sexism in metal and alternative music (and also the music industry), the weight of expectations, and the foibles of social media platforms.

This week's visit to HCGBs see Close  by Messa and Vexier by E-L-R go into the jukebox as promised, plus there's the inevitable inclusion of Impera, the new album from metal's most gay friendly Satanic pop-tastic band, Ghost.
