IoMP 35: WHYBLT - March 2025
It’s WHYBLT Time!
Rounding out the end of March, Collin & Tom have come out of their hibernation with their latest selection of brutal bangers and weird pivots to present their favourite listenings from the last month.
If you thought the listenings couldn’t be heavier, Collin’s got you covered! Bringing on the icons of death metal like Death and Sadist, rounding out with latest releases from titans such as Whitechapel and Warbringer, Collin’s been getting gathering the heaviest of metal this time around. Meanwhile, Tom’s ADHD music listening style both amazes and confuses Collin with interesting but stellar picks from gothic-thriller musical theater from the 90s and swiss-thrash metal up-and-commers XONOR, to the depths of “horny metal” star Vana and latest entry into Avantasia’s discography, Tom’s list is unpredictable while still showcasing an eclectic list of bangers.
Click below to listen to the fun and the chaos the metal duo gets up to. The only question to ask now is: What Have You Been Listening To?
