Episode #41: A Blessed Coma After the Chaos Orgy

El Goro and SonOfOdin start out with some high-concept progressive
metal from Between the Buried and Me. Then things go less highbrow
but more bombastic with Powerwolf's newest album. If that wasn't
classy enough, then some brutal death metal from RazorRape should
hit the spot. Finally, the Valhalla gets a healthy dose of war
metal with Bolt Thrower's second album. New Releases: Between The
Buried And Me : Coma Ecliptic (2015) Between the Buried and Me are
a progressive metal act from North Carolina. Named after a section
of lyrics in a Counting Crows song, BTBAM employ atypical
songwriting structures to create their unique sound. Get this
