What happens when metal bands stop fighting and start collaborating?
In this episode, Collin and Tom dive into the world of metal-on-metal collabs—where bands from across the genre unite to create epic anthems, unexpected bangers, and the occasional beautiful mess. From Daughtry and Lzzy Hale covering Journey, to BABYMETAL teaming up with Electric Callboy, to the Super Smash Bros. theme getting a power metal upgrade, this episode is packed with killer examples of what happens when the loudest minds in metal put their heads together.
If you love discovery, surprises, and a little bit of metal history with your chaos, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
