Does the Woke Mob Affect Metal's True Identity? (Commercial Free)

Matt & Chris dive into taboo topics that many avoid, especially with the rising trend of identity politics in music. In this episode, the guys tackle a provocative question: Has heavy metal become overrepresented with female vocalists? This genre, traditionally marketed to men, has seen a shift that raises eyebrows. Matt and Chris express their appreciation for female vocals in rock and metal but also discuss the backlash when expressing personal musical preferences. The conversation also challenges the idea that criticism of female-fronted bands automatically makes someone sexist. Chris even shares a clip from his interview with Sophie Lloyd, a talented female guitarist, who talks about how it’s okay for men to comment on female musicians’ appearances while still respecting their talents. The episode uncovers the hypocrisy of those who try to silence open discussions on these issues. If you're ready for a thought-provoking conversation that pushes boundaries, this episode is for you. But if you're sensitive to topics involving identity politics and division in music, you might want to skip ahead.
