Metal-head Chris Colligan joins us in another quarantine episode to introduce us to the wondrous world of metal. Chris leads us through the bluesy origins of metal with Black Sabbath and melodic bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. These legends are followed by introductions to a wide variety of sub-genres including thrash, death, and black metal. Through this historical journey, we discuss how metal bands contend with nuclear disarmament, climate change, criminal justice reform and sexuality.
