⚔️ The World Cup of Metal continues with the semifinal showdown! ⚔️
In this episode, I take a deep dive into the metal scenes of France, England, Spain, and Argentina to determine which nation deserves a place in the grand final. Instead of focusing on the biggest household names, I explore the pioneers, underground legends, and modern innovators that helped shape each country's heavy metal identity.
Featuring bands such as Gojira, Alcest, Deathspell Omega, Massacra, Hacride, Satan, Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, Hell, Conan, Barón Rojo, Angelus Apatrida, Saratoga, Wormed, Dark Moor, V8, Hermética, Rata Blanca, Almafuerte, and Horcas, this is a celebration of some of the greatest metal scenes in the world.
