Twitter: @ultimetalcastE-Mail: ultimetalcast@gmail.comConversational podcast loosely focused on heavy metal discovery and retrospect. Every week, Justin Lawnchair and Alex Sylvester talk at length about metal both old and new, with monthly featured sub-genres, two (!) "albums of the week" and a litany of other interesting segments and topics including listener-submitted queries. With a combined 25+ years of metal appreciation under their belts, the intrepid metalheads are packed to the gills with knowledge and opinions, and are ready to divulge the eternal love of metal onto the unsuspecting world of podcasts.
