Your Music Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad

Matt and Blake review Mad With Power Fest VI. America's nerdiest and possibly largest power metal festival. For fans of ProgPower, video games and metal about video games. Notable bands this year include Unleash the Archers, Seven Spires, Lords of the Trident, Wilderun, Powerglove and Seven Kingdoms

Devin Townsend tells Beato, JP and Tosin that metal is about sensitivity and its a color and how his million dollar symphony about dicks is now about butterflies but probably cost so much 'cause he needs Mike Keneally to translate his insane ramblings to the orchestral musicians.

Watched Devin Townsend's weird toilet commercial for his new signature picks from Attakpik. They're super weird and IMO sound real bad.

Matt, Rich and Dewey discuss Metal Lords, the Netflix movie by Game of Thrones writers DB Weiss and David Benioff

We apply wokeness ideas to some old (very good) songs, for mostly humor related purposes Queensryche - "Empire" Toto - "Goodbye Girl" George Benson - "Turn Your Love Around"
