Thunderdome Metal Reviews: The Church of Heavy Metal
Tracey is a sentient prog metal algorithm composed of chicken blood and spreadsheets (@KloakaMetal), Ben is an oldhead with a penchant for nihilism, sludge, and bourbon (@BenDangerously), Dr. David Pizzo (@pizzohistorian) is a world-traveling scholar who bleeds thrash, and Dr. Gabriel Cooper (@lividlunch) when not reveling in a metalcore breakdown brings a plethora of death from the cavernous depths of his murder basement. Together they are just four metalheads giving their thoughts on bands and albums across the metallic spectrum.
