It's episode 52 for this heavy metal podcast, and even though this is a weekly show it's actually been going for a bit more than a year; the first couple of months were bi-weekly and I have of course missed a few weeks here and there for. But let's just go ahead and say it's been a year of spotlighting new underground heaviness since I never properly celebrated that milestone.

This week's batch of brutality hails from the reaches of Sweden, UK, US, Greece, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Romania, Canada, Norway, and Denmark.
