 Greetings friends! It's that time of the year when metalheads the world over pour over magazines and blogs in order to get mad about someone else's completely subjective list of music they enjoyed. In the spirit of the season (and because I'm a masochist) I've decided to produce a series of podcasts covering all the major subgenres of heavy metal. This is going to take a month or two so I hope you're ready to hear a lot of good-ass music. On this episode of Full Metal Hipster you're going to hear my picks for the five best power meal albums of 2018. Crank that volume up and enjoy!
