#84 – A Feminist Queercore View On Metal

Episode Summary

Episode Notes

Hell Bent For Metal welcomes London feminist queercore band Shooting Daggers to the podcast, to talk about the contrasting natures of the metal and hardcore scenes when it comes to how welcoming they are to queer women.

The Camp Classic this week comes from Ghost, whose new album Impera went into HCGBs earlier this year and was promised to contain multiple Camp Classics, the first of which to be discussed is the incredibly positive 'Call Me Little Sunshine'. Yet despite the positive interpretation all 3 hosts find, it still manages to finish on something of a bum note.

Plus there's a bumper crop of entries for the Hate Crew Gaybar jukebox, with Hate Über Alles by Kreator, It's Time… To Rise From The Grave by Undeath, and The Hybrid Suns by Exocrine going in from the hosts actually in the bar, plus Matt Rushton manages to cross time and space to be incredibly predictable and put False Light by White Ward in with them.
