This episode we welcome master artist and musician Chuck BB to the podcast. Chuck is the creator of Stone Cold Lazy, a comic strip found in the pages of Decibel Magazine every month, and he co-created and illustrated the epic, Eisner Award-winning graphic novel Black Metal. We talk with Chuck about making comics, getting into metal, creating art for the game company Exploding Kittens and crafting his solo black metal album, Nosk of the Void. After the interview, Chuck helps us break down the latest in Metal News, then we dig into New Releases and What We’ve Been Listening To. We also give our initial impressions of the recent lineup announcement for the 2024 Decibel Metal and Beer Fest in Philly and we choose our favorite songs on Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind to celebrate the album's 40th anniversary. Plus, we fall down an 80s/90s action film hole, praising the punchery powers of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Ahnold, AND we count down our Top 5 Metal Album Covers of 2023. An explosive 5-hour flight with artist Chuck BB awaits you, dear metalheads. GET TO THE CHOPPA!
