SKIP TO 00:28:03 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY During the height of the “Satanic Panic” during the 80s and 90s, a new subgenre of music emerged seemingly from the depths of hell. At the forefront of the Norwegian black metal scene was a band known as Mayhem which became famous for their rebellious demonic sound and live displays of violence and gore, until the corpse Mayhem’s singer was discovered in 1991. As relics of cranium pieces, talk of cannibalism, and death photos became commonplace within the black metal scene, the public began to wonder whether the evil was just a gimmick or if something darker lingered within the lyrics. Join us on this journey through the macabre as Nat summons the grisliest details of Mayhem’s dark past for Aly’s own haunted education. Plus, we are joined by special guest Shannon Mcnamara of Fluently Forward! **Special Guest Shannon McNamara of Fluently Forward: https://bit.ly/3UJ2jJR TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 - INTRO AND GUEST REVEAL 00:18:45 - CUDDLY AD 00:21:20 - PERSONAL HAUNTINGS CONTD. 00:28:03 - STORY BEGINS 00:36:31 - BETTER HELP AD 00:39:11 - MORBID THE BAND 00:53:20 - BLISSY AD 00:56:17 - LETTERS FROM THE DEAD 01:11:36 - FUM AD 01:14:36 - PLANS TO KILL 01:37:40 - THE DAWN OF BLACK HEARTS 01:41:30 - THEORIES 01:49:00 - DONOR SHOUTOUTS THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED!!
