Everyone has a “bucket list”, a list of things to do before you die a probably painful death, such as jumping into a hardcore moshpit in your 40s. In this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom present their “Thrash-et” list, a list of bands they want to see live before their time in the pit comes to an end. From nu-metal juggernauts like Slipknot to power metal up-and-commers Powerwolf and even some interesting choices you have to listen to the full episode to get.
The lists are packed with fun shows, hopefuls and a lot of “almost did but didn’t” bands.
