005: Gimmicks In Metal: Are We Too Cynical?

Pirate metal – is it ridiculous or should metalheads embrace the silly side of music? In this week's episode, Merlin and Luke are joined once again by Reviews/Subterranea Editor Jonathan Selzer to discuss gimmicks in metal – from Babymetal to Alestorm to Trollfest. We also have news about Tool, Record Store Day and Fred Durst's new movie (yep), and debate whether the never-ending stream of sub-genres is a good or band thing for metal.
