It's the day before the presidential election in the good 'ol US of A so here comes the Full Metal Hipster Election 2016 Special! I know a lot of people don't like to mix politics and metal (as if they haven't been intertwined since the very birth of metal); if that's you, maybe just skip this episode because it's roughly 35 minutes of me raging against Donald Trump with some music thrown in for good measure. My politics shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who's listened to the show for a while, so, if you're a Make America Great Again type, just keep your opinions to yourself. I assure you I'm not interested in hearing them as I have plenty of Trump supporters in my personal life. That being said, I hope those of you who listen to this episode get fired up to vote on Tuesday because it's your mother fucking civic duty!

Thanks for checking out another episode of the Full Metal Hipster podcast, listeners! This week's episode is pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

They're only one of the best and most creative bands in extreme metal today. They have a dep catalog with nary a clunker in sight, so, if by some chance you've never heard them, then get thee to Spotify and do some homework.
