Our fourth episode is a celebration of all the wonderful music, metal or otherwise, which was released in the last decade. We talk about jazz, hip hop, and a little bit too much power metal, and argue over which album is the peak of Slayer’s quality. Join us as we discuss our favorite albums from the 2010’s. Topics include: power metal, black metal, death metal, thrash metal, indie pop, jazz, hip-hop

Content Warning: Deathspell Omega, Severoth, and Mgla are racists and potential nazis. We do not endorse them, nor do we endorse their politics. If the topic of nazism in black metal upsets you, you may want to skip from 20:10 to 33:50

On Sundays, the needle drops and the conversation starts on Moshing to Mozart: A Queer Heavy Metal Podcast. Host Emily McPherson, alongside co-host Timmolation, digs into the vast and often misunderstood world of extreme music, from blistering black metal to complex classical influences. This isn't just a review show; it's a space where two dedicated fans apply their lived queer experience to the sounds and stories of the genre. You'll hear them share new discoveries, dissect albums with both passion and a critical ear, and dive into the necessary political and social contexts that shape the music. The dynamic is less like a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair with two knowledgeable friends who are as likely to passionately defend a niche band as they are to good-naturedly eviscerate a popular one they find lacking. Expect genuine laughter, thoughtful commentary, and a deep, abiding love for the power of heavy riffs and theatrical melodies. Whether you're a seasoned metalhead looking for a fresh perspective or simply curious about the intersection of identity and amplified sound, this podcast offers a unique and personal entry point. Each episode is a blend of discovery, analysis, and the kind of spirited chat that happens after the house lights come up at a show.
