For the first proper episode of the year, I talk about the newest albums I listened to this week, which includes " Empty Hands* from Poppy, " Bleed///Reboot" from Dagger Threat, " Reek Of God " from Barbarian, " Descending " from Elwood Stray and " The Weight Of Sound " from Crystal Lake

After somehow losing my god damn notes ( hey, it happens ) I decided to change gears just for this episode and talk about the three main reasons why I think today's metal bands suck

Yeah yeah the final episode of the year ( and season ) should be longer, but I didn't wanna keep boring you guys with my top 100 albums of the year. So I decided to record a holiday message instead.
