IoMP 92: 6 Killer Halloween Metal Bands (ft. Blackmetal Werewolf)
Metal and horror were always destined to share the same grave. From the moment heavy metal first screamed into existence, it’s been tied to everything dark, twisted, and deliciously over-the-top—and this Halloween, we’re digging straight into that graveyard.
In this special episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom are joined by none other than Blackmetal Werewolf, the YouTuber known for blending horror movie chaos with metalhead wisdom. Together, they explore six killer metal bands that capture the Halloween spirit in all its spooky, theatrical glory.
From Rob Zombie’s iconic mix of music and movies (and questionable wife casting choices) to Trick or Treat’s lighthearted power metal charm, the trio covers it all. They dive into Ice Nine Kills’ cinematic metalcore love letters to slasher icons, Lordi’s monster-masked mayhem, Acid Witch’s Detroit-based Halloween doom, and Terror Universal’s nu-metal nightmare vibes.
The crew also share horror movies that scarred them for life, the ones they can’t wait to revisit, and debate where “fun horror” ends and “what the hell did I just watch” begins.
Whether you’re carving pumpkins, headbanging in your coffin, or queuing up your October playlist, this episode is your ultimate Halloween soundtrack companion.
👹 Press play, crank it loud, and let’s get spooky.
