IoMP 100: Our Top 10 Favourite Albums of ALL Time! (100th Episode Special)
100 episodes. One year. Three metalheads with terrible impulse control.
Influencers of Metal Podcast — “Achievement Get: 100 Episodes” is the biggest, loudest, and most emotionally deranged episode we’ve ever dropped — an absolute celebration of everything that makes this show what it is: metal, mayhem, friendship, nostalgia, and wildly unnecessary side-tracking.
For the first time, Collin and Tom are joined by Will (the voice behind the show’s iconic stingers) to officially reveal their Top 10 Favourite Albums of All Time… and it gets personal. Like, real personal. Like “Mastodon changed my teenage brain chemistry” and “Voyager saved me during the worst year of my life” personal.
But don’t worry — they immediately ruin all the sincerity by inventing an OnlyFans business called “Strip D&D.” Across the longest episode to date, the trio deep-dive into classic rock opera epics, emotionally devastating prog, Finnish melodic death metal excellence, thrash masterworks, symphonic insanity, and so much more
Along the way, they spiral into impressions, memes, debates over Les Mis, a rant about Spotify combining Stratovarius albums for no reason, a passionate defense of Opeth, and the single worst Ozzy Osbourne impersonation you will ever hear in your life.
This is the definitive Influencers of Metal experience — chaotic, heartfelt, nostalgic, absurd, and absolutely full of love for the music that made them.
If you've been with us since the beginning, this one’s for you. If you're new… buckle up.
