IoMP 60: WHYBLT - June 2025

This month on the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom are joined by a very special guest: the Pumpkin Queen herself—Shay, Tom’s girlfriend—for the biggest “What Have You Been Listening To?” yet.

Together, the trio counts down their top 5 most played albums of the month, with 20 total recommendations across genres like death metal, grindcore, power metal, and even goth rock.

Plus, you’ll hear listener-submitted picks like Blood Opera and Whirr, and learn which Sabaton track turned Shay into a tank-fueled metalhead. Volbeat stirs up debate, Fallujah takes two podium finishes, and Lindsay Schoolcraft brings the atmosphere.

This is the musical chaos you didn’t know you needed. Hit play to listen to the full episode!
