It's the end of the year which means it's Best Of list season! That special time when music writers spend an inordinate amount of time ranking albums so that readers can skim the list and then bitch that whatever mediocre album they love wasn't included. I invited fellow heavy metal writer Jonathan Wilson (@CelticFrosty) onto the show to talk about our respective top 15 for your listening pleasure. We cover some great records so take notes and drop some of that sweet Christmas moolah on new music!

Episode #28 of Full Metal Hipster is a doozy, folks! On this episode I speak with a legit heavy metal creative visionary - Devin Townsend! BOOOOOOOOSH!!! Sorry, I'll get control of myself. I talked with Devin about the upcoming re-release of 2014's Casualties of Cool - an album of spacey Americana music that also happens to be one of my favorite Heavy Deavy projects to date. Also, I air out some music that's landed in my inbox from a trans woman in the UK who records under the name Earthen Shrine. This is a packed episode, fam. Get excited!

When I first heard about Curezum, the metal band that covers songs from The Cure, I was as skeptical as some of you probably are right now. But upon hearing the band's retooling of "100 Days" I instantly became a convert. Curezum go beyond the lazy rerecordings of existing songs so many bands crank out, and create fresh versions of the source material that are still recognizable. I recently talked to Mort and Billy from the band about noise, exploding whales, and goregrind. Oh yeah, and their music. I hope you enjoy the interview!

Hello again, listeners! Welcome back to this post-Thanksgiving episode of Full Metal Hipster. I hope all of you had enough to eat and got your fill of football. On this episode I spoke with Nechochwen and Pohanasin of the folk metal band Nechochwen (Facebook). This was a great conversation with a couple guys making really original heavy music. I hope you enjoy it and buy their music with some of that Christmas money you're going to have soon.
