Hell Bent For Metal

#75 – Let There Be Cock

Episode Summary

The LGBTQ+ heavy metal podcast talks to GayC/DC, the turbo gay AC/DC covers band. Dark ambient neofolk magicians Wardruna provide the Camp Classic in the shape of "UruR". Plus this week's HCGB jukebox entries come from Iomair and Terzij de Horde.

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal talk to possibly the gayest covers band in the world, GayC/DC, the AC/DC tribute act you do not want to go watch with your dad. But as well as all the fun stuff, there's a serious side to the chat, as the members talk about being gay in rock and metal at a time when being out could end your music career – literally.

This week's Camp Classic is 'UruR' by Norwegian dark ambient neofolk troupe Wardruna. And if that elevator pitch and lyrics about the runes of the Elder Futhark have you wondering where on earth the Tom is going with this, Matt is right there with you – only to come round as soon as Tom explains it.

Plus this week's visit to the Hate Crew Gaybar sees two albums go in the jukebox: Fishing For An Apparition by Iomair, and In One Of These, I Am Your Enemy by Terzij de Horde. (And yes, of course they mangle that band name.)
