In this episode, we have a very special guest by the name of Ian Chainey (a.k.a. Wolf Rambatz). Ian has been writing about metal around 20 years with publications such as Stereogum and Invisible Oranges, as well as his work with his own substack Plague Rages with the Booster and VaccZine newsletters. He is also a co-host of no fewer than THREE podcasts: Plague Rages, Nu Metal Agenda, and Runout Grooves.   
We put Ian through the BUTT BLAST GAUNTLET with a series of impossibly difficult questions to answer. What does regionalism look like in metal today? What does the future of metal journalism look like? Why did Danish black metal never take off in the wake of Mercyful Fate’s success and wide-ranging influence? Who are the musicians behind metal’s longest enduring mystery, the Lords of the Crimson Alliance? These questions and more WILL BE answered on this episode of the Butt Metal Blast Cast

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.
