Hell Bent For Metal

#81 – Anathema's Perfect Gay Heartbreak Songs

Episode Summary

The LBGTQ+ heavy metal podcast reveals that Anathema's "Untouchable Part 1" and "Untouchable Part 2" are a perfect pair of songs for a heartbroken gay man, plus there are HCGB picks from No/Más and Septicflesh.

Episode Notes

Having  put it off for weeks because of various unforeseen circumstances, Hell Bent For Metal finally explain why 'Untouchable Part 1' by goth metal legends-turned-life-affirming prog band Anathema is a particular type of gay heartbreak  viewed from years later, in this week's Camp Classic.

It's then followed up with a second Camp Classic, as the other side of the same coin is also explored, as 'Untouchable Part 2' is shown as a view on that heartbreak from much closer to the time – that time when you can't get it out of your mind.

Plus this week's visit to the Hate Crew Gaybar sees Consume/Deny/Repent by No/Más, and Modern Primitive by Septicflesh added to the jukebox.
