Welcome to Sh!t Talk Reviews, a heavy metal podcast run by a pack of music-loving malcontents who loosely consider each other friends. If you live for the underground, love giving each other a hard time, and want to cut through the industry noise to find the heaviest releases actually worth your time, you are in the right place.
About the Heavy Metal Podcast
We are here to champion everything metal—from thrash and crossover thrash to rock, punk, prog, doom, black metal, goth, and hardcore. We break down the latest heavy music, argue over our definitive top-tier band lists, and occasionally sit down for candid, no-bullshit conversations with some of the most talented and chill artists in the scene. Whether we are trying to make peace with classic death metal heavyweights after years of hot takes or breaking down how blistering technical proficiency shapes modern extreme metal, we keep it honest, loud, and entertaining.

- Deep-dive album breakdowns and track reviews exploring everything from progressive metal milestones to raw underground beatdown hardcore.

Who this Heavy Metal podcast is for
This podcast is built for the lifers, the purists, the digital crate-diggers, and anyone who spends way too much time arguing about guitar tones and setlists online. If your playlist spans crushing prog metal, mind blowing thrash, sludgy experimentation, and punishing metalcore, you’ll fit right in. You don't need a music degree to hang out with us—just a high tolerance for sarcasm, a deep appreciation for loud guitars, and an open ear for whatever heavy noise is shaking the underground right now.
