Show Notes
Join Steve O'G, Drew Fortune, and METALBIRB for another episode of The Metal Roundup.
This week the lads tackle the age old issue of Gatekeeping in Metal; is it toxic? Is it necessary? And where does it even come from? They also delve into the convoluted world of sub-genres and take a stab at figuring out what sub-genre modern metal should be defined by.
Let us know your own sub-genre name suggestions in the comments!
