IoMP 72: How To Get Your Goth Girlfriend Into Metal (feat. The Pumpkin Queen)

The Pumpkin Queen is back… and she’s about to be subjected to the ultimate metal compatibility test.
Collin and Tom each bring three carefully chosen bands they believe Shay (Tom’s goth girlfriend) will love — the goal? Pull her one step closer to full-blown metalhead status. The catch? Tom goes heavier. Collin goes goth. And Shay? She’s brutally honest about every single pick.
From Portuguese gothic royalty to witchy Swiss folk metal, from death-doom graveyard walks to therapy rock with a punch, this episode is part music discovery, part roast session, and pure chaotic fun. Along the way, you’ll hear which bands make her hit “add to playlist” instantly… and which ones make her want to “punch Tom in the face” (lovingly).
If you’ve ever tried to get your partner into metal — or just want some killer band recommendations with unfiltered banter — hit play. This isn’t just a list of songs. It’s a battle for the Pumpkin Queen’s soul. And she was “born in the pits of hell,” so good luck, boys.
