Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear birthday boy, happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This week we have your regularly scheduled March dose of the Wonder Years Fanboyism on the part of Kayle. Happy Non-Metal March.

Non-Metal March gets a proper introduction this week with The Smashing Pumpkin's landmark album Siamese Dream.

We recorded this back when it was still February, but in keeping with the theme of March, Futha and Lifa are NOT metal albums, though they are metal as hel.

Insert Cat pun here. 

After a break, the boys are back and finally dig into Female February with the kick-ass new album from Ukraine's JINJER, Macro!

Well, that's another Black Metal January done. Wait, it's February now? Oh shiiiiiiit

From the cold wintry wastelands of Scandinavia to the verdant hollers and forests of Appalachia we go! This week in Black Metal January, Kentucky by PANOPTICON! 

Emperor, like a lot of early 90s Norwegian black metal, is a band with a dark past and remarkable discography. This week the boys see if the bark makes up for the bite.

January is cold and dark, its time for a pick-me-up with a wonderfully epic atmospheric folk black metal album from Falls of Rauros.
