Greetings friends! It's that time of the year when metalheads the world over pour over magazines and blogs in order to get mad about someone else's completely subjective list of music they enjoyed. In the spirit of the season (and because I'm a masochist) I've decided to produce a series of podcasts covering all the major subgenres of heavy metal. This is going to take a month or two so I hope you're ready to hear a lot of good-ass music. On this episode of Full Metal Hipster you're going to hear my picks for the five best death metal albums of 2017. Joining me to share his five favorite albums is Chris Redar who writes for Last Rites and hosts a football podcast called The Nico and Chris Bear's Post-Game Wrap-Up Show with Nico and Chris. Now crank that volume up and enjoy! If you're an iTunes user, don't forget to subscribe to Full Metal Hipster, and leave me some good reviews/5 star ratings for God's sake! If you're not an Apple fanboy, you can stream or download each episode from my website FullMetalHipster.com, my Stitcher page, or on the podcast host site. I'm on Twitter at @MetalShayne2000 and Facebook, too, ya bums! For always and forever, the demo was better!
