On this week's Metal Hammer Podcast, El chats to Tom Dare of the Hell Bent For Metal Podcast, the LGBTQ+ heavy metal podcast that looks at metal from a queer perspective and offers a platform for the metal scene's LGBTQ+ community.
Tom talks about his experiences coming out as a gay man in the metal scene, why he felt the need to start Hell Bent For Metal, why we need to continue holding problematic attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community to account in metal and some of the albums he's been excited about this year.
Elsewhere, Editor-In-Chief Merl details some of the 40 exclusive interviews that make up part of the new special edition issue of Hammer as part of Metallica's approaching 40th anniversary celebration.
