HEAVY CONVERSATION: Metal in the Mainstream

HEAVY CONVERSATION: Metal in the Mainstream

- By Matt Rushton

The Interview Queen' Alicia Atout is joined by Knotfest hosts Staypuft Mallow, Daniel Dekay, and making her debut, Tori Kravitz, to discuss the news on the NOFX split recently announced my Fat Mike on his Instagram. There's debate on whether this is a real farewell or just clever marketing, and the legacy of one of punk's veteran bands.

The main topic this week is on how metal is slowly but surely infiltrating the mainstream once again - through Metallica on Stranger Things, through to the more recent happenings of Ozzy Osbourne kicking off the NFL season and Stray from the Path drummer (and Knotfest podcaster) Craig Reynolds filling in on drums on Late Night with Seth Meyers - and what this all means for the culture going forward. The guys wrap with their usual round-up of the best songs and tours of the week.
