HEAVY METAL PODCAST - REVIEWS, INTERVIEWS & OPINIONS ON EVERYTHING METAL

Sh!t Talk Reviews is a heavy metal podcast made up of a group of music loving malcontents who loosely consider each other friends. Their favorite pastime is shit talking each other and helping other lovers of thrash, crossover thrash, rock, metal, punk, prog, doom, black metal, goth and hardcore music discover present day noise that is actually worth the time to listen to. Sometimes we sit down and chat with some pretty talented and chill artists.
