IoMP 91: Metal Around the World: Slovakia
How much do you know about Slovakian metal? If your answer is “basically nothing,” same here — until this episode. In the latest stop on Around the World in Metal, Collin and Tom accidentally stumble into an actual geography lecture before diving into Slovakia’s dark and doomy underground.
From Doomas’s crushing death-doom and Ramchat’s pagan black metal fury to the experimental Vortex Unit and the dissonant chaos of Ceremony of Silence, the guys explore how a small central European country can pack so much sonic devastation. They even catch up with metal influencer cikindeles of Patriarcha, representing Slovakia’s scene with blackened pride.
It’s one part travel show, one part history lesson, and ten parts “we didn’t research this enough.” Dive in, discover some hidden gems, and find out why Slovakia might just be one of the most underrated countries in European metal.
