IoMP 142: Amon Amarth and Dethklok Songs We Want To Hear at The Great Canadian Casino in Toronto
This episode of Influencers of Metal Podcast is what happens when you mix concert-day chaos, zero preparation time, and two guys who refuse to shut up about metal—even when they’re halfway out the door.
Collin and Tom are heading to Toronto for the “Amonklok Conquest Tour,” featuring co-headliners Dethklok and Amon Amarth, being opened by fantasy stoner doom metal band Castle Rat. But before they hit the road, they squeeze in a rapid-fire edition of What Do We Want to Hear?
Instead of their usual deep dives, they switch things up—one song per band, no filler, just must-hear picks.
But the real tension? Collin might not even make it to the show.
A last-minute scheduling disaster involving childcare, a rescheduled theatre production, and a very uncertain answer from his ex has turned this concert into a full-blown boss battle. Will he pull it off? Or will Tom be left holding an extra ticket and a potential unsupervised gambling addiction?
This episode is fast, funny, and completely unhinged—in the best way possible.
👉 Hit play now, then tell us: What songs do YOU need to hear live from Dethklok and Amon Amarth?
