Butt Metal Blast Cast is a podcast featuring Malicious Intent blog contributors Judge Dredd and Wulf and our co-conspirators Professor Grindstein and The Inverted Cross-Examiner!

We are four grown men who bullshit in lo-fi recordings about our love of all things low culture through the lens of metal! We discuss food, news, and sick picks (heretofore referred to as “siqq piqqs”). We hold metal-themed discussions and debates, take metal-themed quizzes, and play metal-themed games. Our conversations often devolve into complete madness.

In this episode, we talk to fan (we have fans, apparently?!?) of the show, The Shadowy One. We discuss the New York City metal scene vibes and community and whether either has been affected by the closure of St. Vitus. We explore the generational divide between the sincerity of older metal fans and musicians versus the self-aware irony of younger metal fans and musicians. We also analyze the dark world of fascist cottagecore and tradwife cultures. All of this and much, much more!
