You may all be familiar with the time old adage: “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” If only we spent less time listening to South of Heaven and more time listening to Michael Stipe, we may have been far better equipped to tackle this period of unending calamity.

Nonetheless, content creation must remain defiant in these end times. Suffice to say, the Bois From Below have fully sterilised their work stations to bring you Part II of their epic journey in Tolkien Metal. Tom reels of band references that would send Encyclopaedia Metallum to a 404 gateway, Matt talks about Tolkien’s racial readings and Jamie brings a book to show us (he’s still very green to this whole podcast lark...).

Stay safe, wash your hands, listen to metal!
