On this week’s news rant, The Reverend Karl Hikara joins me to round up new singles by Castle, Psycroptic, Abyssal Rift, Fuming Mouth, Green Carnation, Abyssal Rift, Heretic Cult Redeemer and more for judgement. We also get our first horrifying taste of rent-a-slattern metallers Dogma, put simp culture in heavy metal on blast, and reward made-up complaints about the YouTube algorithm with the Swirly of the Week.
