Tonight’s episode was about Viking Metal, a subgenre I admittedly know little about and, tbh, am not that into personally! It was nonetheless fun putting this episode together and learning more about it, and I also appreciate that it’s extremely seasonally appropriate. Lots of frost and snow in these tunes. Come back next week for another wintry mix: the ALL IMMORTAL EPISODE! Thanks for listening.
