Mosh Pit Mayhem, Guilty Pleasures & the Band That Could Save Earth

This week on The Metal Lounge, Forrest and Jake are back with two hours of chaos — from guilty pleasure bangers to the worst gigs we’ve ever witnessed 😬

We go deep on our top 5 guilty pleasures, reveal our favourite metalcore bands, and tell stories from the best and worst gigs of our lives. Expect scene nostalgia, brutally honest hot takes, and more Don Broco references than necessary.

Then it’s time to save the world… kind of. We wrap things up with a ridiculous game: you’ve got a budget and the planet is under threat from the Cromulon (shoutout Rick and Morty). Who would you pick for your ultimate dream band to save humanity?
